the brennan center for justice estimates that 11% of americans don't have photo i.d.s.these laws could disenfranchise those voters in the upcoming election. the more they can control who votes, the more republicans they can elect who share that conservative agenda. this bill mill is in overdriver according to alec's web side claiming: >> but some progressive state lawmakers fighting back. just this year, representatives in wisconsin and arizona introduce the legislation they hope will expose the inner workings of the american legislative exchange council to the public. in january arizona representative steve farley introduced the accountability act of 2012. he urged the house to pass it last week. >> all of us here are very familiar with alec and the unflience it has with many members here. every session several pieces of alec-related ledge lace are adopted as arizona law. if we get an idea for a bill i think our constituents deserve to know where it came from and the circumstances around that. my amendment would require groups that proposed modeled legislation and lobb

i miss a lot of my former colleagues on the court from byron white to bill brennan, but that's the process. they go and new people come on. >> it's different. it's different today than what it was when i first got here. and i have to admit you grow very fond of the court that you spend a long time on. there was a period there with chief justice rehnquist and justice o'connor when we had gone, we had a long run together and you get comfortable with that and then it changes. and now it's changing again. >> it's a new court. when i was trying jury cases, usually 12, if a juror had to be replaced because one was ill or something, it was just a different dynamic. it was a different jury. the same way here, this will be a very different court. and it's stressful for us because we so admire our colleagues, wonder oh, will it ever be the same? i have deteriorate admiration for the system. the system works. >> i think it's healthy for the court to have members with different backgrounds. i saw a television program recently when somebody said there should always be someone who had served in the arme

target and they're doing it more than a dozen states like kansas wisconsin and tennessee where the brennan center for justice as many as five million people mostly democratic voters have already been kicked off the rolls and don't even know it so this shouldn't be surprising considering that alec was founded in one nine hundred seventy three by republican strategist paul weyrich who infamously said this. how many of our christians have what i call them bro good government they want everybody to vote i don't want everybody to vote elections are won by a majority of people they never happen from the beginning of our country every are not. going to help but go look bridging the elections why can't i go drop out go bowling ophiolites go down this this was the guy who put ronald reagan into office this was the guy who helped construct george w. bush's campaign this was the guy behind republican presidents for the last thirty years and this wind set it we just need to turn it all over to the corporations and keep out those awful pesky democrats from voting this mindset is the potential destructi

the brennan center said that a person is more likely to be struck by lightening than to pretend to be. how is it not anything but partisan politics? >> you are right, the premise that there's massive voter fraud that we did not notice is absurd on its face. in the face of this nonproblem, we have seen a wave of laws that are making it harder for people to vote. you have a driver's license and i have one, but a lot of people do not. that has been going on for the last year and a half, it's been a lot of partisanship but we are seeing the courting says, wait a minute, this is not constitutional and it's illegal, so there's a push back going on. >> and the department of justice, govern rendell, because we are talking about pennsylvania here, what is your how the in i think there are -- what is your thought, there are eight states that have passed are strict photo i.d. laws. all republican held states in terms of the state house, what do you make of this? >> there's no problem. pennsylvania was in the hot seat of three presidential elections and not one evidence of voter casting a vote fo

father james brennan is charged with abusing another boy.hese cases do not reflect today's catholic church. >> the catholic church, to my knowledge, has the most extensive comprehensive program dealing with people who are going to work there, in the catholic church, or are working in the catholic church as well as volunteers. >> reporter: victim advocates insist the church still has problems. >> we still haven't seen one bishop to be fired or publishly punished for enabling or covering up for a sexual predator priest. >> reporter: rich green plans on attending lynn's trial. as a high school freshman in philadelphia, green, the nephew of cardinal john o'connor of new york, says he was sexually abused repeatedly by his religion teacher, a priest who's now dead. green settled with the catholic church last year but still feels bitter. >> worse than the abuse itself, to know that somebody could have stepped in and stopped it. >> reporter: a court-imposed gag order prevents all parties from commenting. but when the charges were first announced, ph

the brennan institute says it will disenfranchise 5 million people.n no established reason to change the law. there's no widespread fraud that has been in any way documented. and we do not believe that we should have these millions of people disenfranchised. it has a disproportionate impact on young people and seniors. and immigration laws in alabama are horrendous. and we think they violate the civil rights of people. and we sought to dramatize, not just to commemorate 47 years ago, but to continue today to fight those issues. >> quickly, congresswoman, you look down south, alabama, mississippi, who gets the advantage there? >> i think that the polling is showing it right between santorum and romney. voters are going to be about 52%. >> interesting. we'll be watching. thank you all very much. before we go, you can watch our weekly press pass kvrlconversat. after the premiere of "game change" on hbo about the book. that's presspass@msnbc.com. we'll be back next sunday. if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." been doing. you know, working, working, work

so, therefore, it only leads us to believe since the collateral damage is that according to the brennan institute 5 million people will beenfranchised from voting because they don't have voter i.d., that must be the goal because you certainly aren't protecting us against voter fraud because it's not there at a widespread level. >> i have talked about it extensively on the radio, and you will not be surprised to hear that a sentiment i often hear is that folks say, well, i have to show an i.d. for everything. i had to show my i.d. to get into 30 rock today. why not show an i.d. when you're going out to exercise the franchise, an i.d. of some kind? >> and we should. and you do. the fact of the matter, let's take alabama, for example, where we are having the big march today. they have a voter i.d. law they put in place for 2003 where you can show your i.d. or your utilities bill or something. why do you need to go in 2012 to a more state sponsored i.d.? the i.d.s that are in place already are sufficient. so we're not saying no voter i.d. we're saying why are you having voter i.d. that is l

brennan and erdogan. that knocked him down to a c+. you can't make mistakes like that, right? the supreme court appointed arches too precious for that to happen. george h. w. bush was a real problem. on the one hand, he appoints david souter, and clarence thomas. this is a real problem. how are you going to greatest? he ended up with a b. sort of other reasons he does decently. so no great surprises, i don't think but those are three that were and determined i was a. i didn't set out to find truman as a c+ or a d. or f. or something like that. roosevelt would have gotten three fs. obama is heading that way, too. [inaudible] [laughter] >> another question? >> so you argue that there are kind of two presidencies that we see. the early presidency and the modern presidency. you focus your attention on modern presidency. by the standards that use, though seems to be up to apply to the early presidents as well. so that would make kind of a more interesting book, maybe the early presidents have a better philosophy of the constitution and the actions are a little more positive, does t
