we got my friends at the firm -- marching through quebec following benedict arnold. those experiences of walking around with friends to piece out what went on was indispensable. you played a large role in this as well. i want to thank my colleagues. could not ask for better bunch of colleagues. never have a nice thing to say about administrators. i want to thank been harrington. at critical junctures, a number of breaks from teaching to push this along. it was hugely important. your support and encouragement means that the world may -- what i want to do is conclude the last paragraph of the book that i should point out that i have in the second row, my wife, judy and my daughter becky, son in law and daughter vicki and granddaughter mariah, and son nathan watching this from singapore on the live web cast. here is the last paragraph of the book. special word of thanks goes to my wife judy and her four children, and our son in law, with them amount independence, walked a wall of grand point, supported saint john and st. albans. william johnson's mansion in the woods as

how could he say he's going to jail the superintendent over the word "benediction" and "invocation"? i would then encourage impeachment. but before you move to impeach him, you'd like to know why he said it. clearly, since the congress has.... >> schieffer: what if he didn't come? what if he said, "no, thank you i'm not coming"? >> that is what happens in impeachment cases. in an impeachment case, the house studies whether or not... the house brings them in, the house subpoenas them. as a general rule, they show up. you're raising the core question. are judges above the rest of the constitution? or are judges one of the three co-equal branches? >> schieffer: isn't the other side of that, are the rest of us above the constitution and obeying the law? at some point, you have to say this is a nation of laws and we all have to.... >> we do. i'll go back to lincoln, who people generally think respected the law. lincoln explicitly instructed his administration not to enforce dred scott. he said it's the law of the case and not the law of the land. it's in his first inaugural. if you go to

if anybody at the high school graduation used the word benediction, used the word invocation, asked for a moment of silence, asked the audience to stand or mentioned god, he would jail the superintendent. that's such an anti-american dictatorship of speech that there's no reason the american people need to tolerate a federal judge who is that out of sync with our entire culture. so you have to ask the question, is there any alternative? what's the recourse? one recourse is impeachment. the supreme court literally inserted the american civil liberties on to the battlefield. now this is the opposite of world war ii where franklin roosevelt told the supreme court or the attorney general that the 14 german saboteurs that had been picked up in u.s. would be tried by military tribunal and executed. and that he would not tolerate a writ of habeas corpus as commander in chief. so you have this real problem that since 1958 when the warren court asserted by itself that the supreme court was supreme over the president and the congress, you've had a fundamental assault on our liberties by the court

the most notable case, one of my pet obsessions is benedict arnold. i do my best to be above and take his reputation. former colleagues in government are rolling their eyes and shaking their heads as i say that but one thing that strikes you when you read his correspondence in the 76-77 campaign and read these letters all that you see is a shrewd commander and truly balance patriots. which makes it a puzzle even greater. it really hits you when you see these letters. even with the benefit of hindsight you feel it couldn't really be improved upon, his assessment of the situation and recommendations about what ought to be done. including french documents. >> in the back? >> what impression did you come away with about jordan washington, military commander and the strategies? >> glad you asked about george washington. there are two chapters about conflict that never happened. i think this is one of the ways in which having been in government affected how i wrote the book because those things i took away from my own government experience is a very powerfu

and at the vatican pope benedict and at the vatican pope benedict lit a can candle in his window. the pope said the simplicity of christ birth is being obscured by christmas. >> axelrod: coming up on tonight's cbsnews. an iraqi translator fearing for his life after the departure of the u.s. troops he helped. >> hi i am tech sergeant onica banks and i want to give a shout-out to my family in san antonio texas. i love you, i miss you, merry christmas, happy holidays. >> axelrod: it didn't take long but within days of the last u.s. troops leaving iraq's a wave of violence swept through baghad this week. at least 16 bombs exploded thursday in shiite neighborhoods, killing about 70 people and wounding another 200. last week we met one iraqi worried about his safety because he had worked for the americans. in a follow-up tonight elizabeth palmer tells us about his spiking fear. >> reporter: just days after the u.s. withdrew the last troops from iraq and the political battle raging between the shiite prime minister and suni vice president, this new violence invoked fears that this countr

pope benedict also praying asking for stability in iraq and afghanistan. there was absolutely an overflow crowd in st. peter's square as there always is on this day but, perhaps, especially today because the weather was so good. amazing just a number of flags you see there as the pope gave his greeting in so many languages. you'd hear him say merry christmas in korean and the group of koreans would be there shouting and it was like that the entire time. very, very interested in showing how universal it is and what a draw rome and the vatican are but christmas actually kicked off last night in st. peter's basilica with the christmas eve mass, a very, very solemn mass. it was very interesting that the pope was talking about saying watch out for glitter or go beyond the glitter to find the true light and the true joy of christmas. he says watch out that it can be overly commercial, the bright lights can block out or hide god's mystery. and finally, eric, the pope, as you mentioned is 84. he'll be 85 in april. seems to be holding up pretty well. i was talking

and the most notable cases, um, one of my fete did sessions is benedict arnold, and i do my level bestrehabilitate his reputation. [laughter] my former colleagues in government are rolling their eyes and shaking their heads as i say that. but one of the things that really strikes you is when you read his correspondence during the '76 and '77 campaign and you read his letters, all that you see is a shrewd commander and a truly gallant patriot. and, which makes, of course, the puzzle of his treason, um, even greater. but it really hits you when you see these letters, that, you know, even with the benefit of hindsight, you feel it couldn't really be improved upon, his assessment of the situation, his recommendation about what ought to be done and so on. so it's very much a book using documents, including french documents. >> okay. way in the back. >> [inaudible] >> eliot, what impression did you come away with about george washington as a military commander and as a strategiest? >> oh, good. i'm glad you asked about george washington.
