benson, tom clark, and stanley reid. reed was so committed to segregation, a few years earlier, he refused to attend the christmas party if black pages were to be included. there was suggestion that there could have been two more votes, and therefore a majority of five. not so much on the principle of segregation or at all on the principle of segregation as indeference to what was an objection to what we now call judicial activism. jackson to douglas' ear were conflicted about ma majority to overrule the long standing precedent with the principle that separate, but equal fulfilled the 14th amendment command of equal protection. it's worth noting, however, that -- it's worth regarding douglas' perception where the votes were because douglas detested jackson, saw him in the worst light, and things were so bad that in conference, douglas would leave the room until jackson was finished speaking. no matter where each of the justices lay precisely, warren knew as he settled too into the court, there were deep differences, and

when benson died in september of 1953 frankfurter remarked of the first solid evidence he received of the -- of god. he was and acerbic guy. so benson's death created eisenhower's first vacancy on the court but eisenhower had not contemplated making foreign chief justice. he contemplated giving them the first vacancy for associate justiceship so he did not immediately tender the nomination the warren believed was rightfully promised to him. in fact ike send it out john foster dulles about his interest in the post but dole so just been named secretary of state and hadn't aspire to become secretary of state declined. after some fencing row now eventually persuaded someone he should deliver on the promise nomination and eisenhower announced warrants appointment on september 30, 1953. congress was in recess at the time so warren re-signed the governorship of california on a friday and was at the supreme court the following week. he took his seat as a justice designate. one other thing that is interesting to note the list to say almost inconceivable in today's judicial environment. the oth

the imf commitment to benson -- to grease. bill ireland and portugal already total around one hundred billion dollars. considering that the u.s. shares the imf, this puts u.s. taxpayer at risk to the tune of $20 billion. in assessing how serious is the risk to taxpayers, it is of no that the imf has never lend money on this scale to any country in relation to the signpost countries as it has grease, ireland and portugal. the commitment to these countries are 10% of their gdps and the third of the connections. the recent european summit, european countries are proposing to make loans to the imf to the tune of $260 billion for two hundred billion euros that would be intended to loan to italy and spain. it is important to recognize that if those bilateral loans by european countries give them a claim on the imf as opposed to a claim on italy and spain the u.s. taxpayer would be put at risk for those loans to italy and spain. if italy and spain go to the imf for exposure of u.s. taxpayers those countries could be enormous. conside

benson. he cites the cases of forming -- a former army captain who operate within the military structure recalling that the navy had guided and transported drug shipments instead of protecting the marine frontier. he also spoke about someone, and maybe mr. benson, you could help us with this as well as ambassador brownfield, josÉ a gusto having an id card from dna which is dominica national intelligence, and was supposedly guarded by police colonels as well as as well as having official license plates, those are just some of the series of examples that have existed. could you talk about those individuals and/or challenges? >> there's clearly as you know corruption, but we are, our approaches is to work with those members of the dominican police forces, that we have a history of working with. and as you know, we do have a very robust sensitive and castigating -- investigation unit that has achieved many operational successes. so as we look from a targeting and intelligence sharing point of vie

i will defer to brad benson but before i did, the scope of work is a key part of the project description. so we need to understand what is going to happen not only for purposes of the real estate deal but the permits from the different permitting agencies, for responding to comments the e.i.r. so we will be proceed skip at this point -- prescriptive on that. >> i think the concern is that because this is a gamble that a big crowd will show up at yachting event in the united states, which would be unprecedent unprecedented, that the commitment that is being made is being backed up by city funds and you are saying the city has the ability to withdraw. but if you are fairly deep into it what is the likelihood the city would say we are not going to spend $30 million of public money on this and we were unable to raise it in a recession and everything comes to naught? it seems to me you are in for a anyone any, in for $30 million. >> i disagree because it was not this long ago this was approved by the city and policy make erlgs. specifically they called out for there to be $32 million of fund-

. >> guest: lloyd benson was ill, and i was not able to talk to him, but this was over a 20-year period. anyway, talked to them one-on-one about their debate experiences. and what george h.w. bush said to me, i asked him, i said, hey, tell me about the watch thing. and he said, well, he said, yeah, yeah, yeah, i looked at my watch. big deal. that means i'm not qualified to be president of the united states? you look at your watch on television, and you're not qualified to be president of the united states? and i said, you know, a follow up this was for television, for a documentary, and i said -- the it's cameras were running, and i said, well, mr. president, some people said you wanted to know when the thing was going to be over, and he said, you're right, i wanted to know when this damn thing was going to be over. and he said, you can put that in your documentary. and i said, mr. president, we just did. [laughter] >> host: ralph in chicago, you're on with jim lehrer, we're talking about presidential debates. mr. lehrer's most recent book, "tension city." >> caller: yes, please, thanks

i will rerun benson if i have to. >> it's a great movie. >> it is a great movie. >> it's ripping up the box office. >> it broke my heart to have to tell the muppets that they weren't famous. because there is -- >> you told kermit, he is the most famous animal ever created. >> in my brain. >> he is 70. >> i know. >> how could do you that? >> best acting i've ever done in my life. >> you should be an absolute spoiled brat. so what went wrong. >> thank you. >> what went wrong? >> you're perfectly nice. my early experience of you a few moments ago confirmed this. why aren't you as a productive two superstars just lying on some sun lounger in a bikini spending daddy's money being a brat? >> that's a really good question. i often ask myself that. no, my parents are -- they're great people. and they are priorities were very much in check when my sister and i were born. they just wanted to have a normal family. and my dad also kind of got more famous as i was a kid. i mean he didn't really become a face, a celebrity until i was about 8. so it wasn't really like a, you know, i wasn't a celebrity

however, some of the folks around benson later said, well, we have heard him say this before. in other words, we have heard quayle say something about it. that was the point. quayle had more experience in congress and in government and john f. kennedy did when he was elected president. and so there were ready for this. and i think we just have to leave it to hear again to get two different views of what happened. >> talk a little bit about what happened, the negotiation, they go into, and now you're not a part of them, but you clearly know about them. the canada assistance show up at the podium and give ready to debate. it is in a grueling process that their campaign goes through, like peace talks. >> absolutely. and the thing that everybody has to remember is that the negotiations are by two groups of people. one with the -- only one purpose, and that is to make his or her candid it have an advantage over the other candid it. and everybody on the other side is doing the same thing. they couldn't care less about weather are not this was fair or whether this with that. they thi

director of new democratic network and a former clinton campaign adviser and guy benson, political editortown hall.com. i guess i will be playing the role -- there he is. hi, guys, having some issues here today. thank you both so much for being here. let's put the graphic back up once again so they can see the grades because, you know, it reminds me back in the school. where you'd get the a, the b, the c, the d. zero as, 13ds. guy, is that fair? >> well, i think 14 million americans might want to add a category which is f, and i think democrats even doing their very best spin job maybe cold give him a c -- could give him a c, so d sounds about right and that's got to hurt a president who constantly seems to cite this mysterious group of consensus of economists across the spectrum to justify all of his economic policies, those same economists now we know aren't necessarily big fans of those policies. megyn: simon, you know, he raises an interesting point. the president gave himself a solid b+after his first year in office, it doesn't appear these economists agree with that. >> look, i thin

would have been a career politician but to the fact you lost to ted kennedy, reminded me of the line bensonainst quayle, he sort of turned the whole line on its head and used another line. to me the conventional wisdom had said ten days ago mitt romney was the likely nominee. i think coming out of this debate and going into it i think the conventional wisdom is going to be that newt gingrich has become more of the inevitable nominee. i think this debate tonight really helps on that. i think he stood strong in all the priors he got. romney i think didn't look as good. i think right now gingrich is the guy that everybody knows has to be beat. >> that's why i wonder. romney at one point talked about sobriety and civility. that was what they talked about earlier this week. we've see if he pushes that further in the days ahead. >> weigh in, all of you watching on yahoo.com and also on abcnews.com, real-time conversation going on out there. you and i will be back in the morning. >> full wrap-up tomorrow morning. we'll see you then. >> we thank you.

and then benson with some difficulty would get out of the car and he would go home. c-span: he was there seven years as chief. do you remember what significant impact he had on the court and how he ran? >> guest: well, as far as i could tell, he ran well. there was some feeling i think in the year or two before i got there and before arts got there, that there was some friction within the court particularly jackson was concerned that he didn't become chief himself and there was some feeling that there might have been some antagonism between jackson on the one hand and hugo black on the other. i never actually witnessed anything like that, but there have been a lot of writing about it and i think there is some merit to it. i mention it because as i said, there was a sense there might be some personal and antagonism within the court at the time, but when i got there, i found it entirely different. i remember at a seventh circuit conference sometime around 1970 or so, thurgood marshall came to chicago and answering questions from the audience, he was asked about constan
