justice breyer reads it differently than i do.is of the view that madison wanted to make sure that the states could have militias. today, we would call them national guard, that the federal government couldn't interfere with but if you read what everybody else said, it is clear that carrying guns was so natural to these people, the right to self-defense was so intense and so readily needed that it was second nature to them. they just wanted to make sure this new government wouldn't interfere. >> i'll tell you, you might not like what he said but it was great to see a supreme court justice talk, right? >> you know, it's something new. until a few years ago, they never did things like this. now you see more and more of it. >> coming up on your show, you will talk on "freedom watch" every night at 8:00 amongst your guests. >> congressman paul ryan and congressman ron paul on taxes. >> great to see you. >> thank you, brian. >> one day ahead of you. coming up straight ahead, has your child been skipping class? that will be about $500,

broad run and breyer woods. cast your vote at dchighschoolsports.net.the winning game leads our coverage on friday. people saw jayson werth flip on his jersey today and wondered why he would leave a front runner like the phillies to come to a team like the nats. and, again, we remind you, $126 million. the former all star was introduced today to the city where he'll spend the next seven years. and he says he believes in what mike rizzo and the learners are building in dc. >> this situation here in washington is one that is going forward we're going to put something together that i think that the city and the fans will come accustomed to love and come out and see us on a nightly basis. >> finally tonight, wait for this one, michael vick says he wants a dog. the eagles quarterback who has rehabed both his career and his image this season says in an interview that aired tonight that he and his children miss having a dog at home and he thinks having one would be a big step in his rehabilitation. personally i say too soon, a little too soon. your thoughts on

is an absence of a really coherent principles addition and, you know, you sort of describe justice breyer sort of, you know, pragmatic technocrats and ruth bader ginsburg holding the line. there was an argument to be made justice john paul stevens had tried to articulate something may be larger than that that i'm trying to map onto the liberal wing of the supreme court with a huge caveat we have two new justices that we barely know, but with the for the half, is a legacy of one of the two or is it a product of the failure of one of these visions to have dominated? >> guest: i fink one of them did dominate through the 60's and into the 70's and that was actually douglass' '. among the liberals the constitution was there to maximize the personal liberty, and that i think became a crucial part of the picture and the other part was the quality and to start with quality for african-americans and quality for women and more recently for gay people. so the equality party and the liberal party think it actually emerge as the dominant liberal philosophy and very important both to justice ginsburg w

during the arguments justice breyer said he had looked at pictures that were submited to the court. he called the pictures horrible, horrible justice society mayor imposing questions to california's attorney, carter phillips said when are you going to get around to this if not within the two years ordered? when are you going to get around to people sitting in their feces in a dazed state? it was very clear, gwen, that the court was very much aware of the conditions in the prisons. >> ifill: what are california's options for reducing that kind of overcrowd something. >> well, california, according to its lawyer carter phillips, has made progress, he argued, in the last three or four years. a receiver was appointed by the courts to oversee this. he said, mr. phillips said that california has begun new construction of facilities and it is looking at ways of not necessarily op evaning the door, the prison doors but using, for example, it has used good time credits, expanding the use of good time credits in order to release prisoners a little earlier. >> ifill: isn't that the fear and th

>> justice breyer, when the receiver says that, now remember, he says at current population levels, he doesn't suggest, and his brief is very clear, that it doesn't urge this court to affirm the particular order in this case, and -- can i just finish this? >> yeah. >> the population levels have dropped pretty significantly since august, the trial on this particular case, and given the actions by the legislature in ab18, actions of the legislatures in ab900, there's substantial reductions in the population size, and so therefore even under the receiver's -- >> but do we have information about that substantial reduction? i mean, in this reference it seems to be that no matter how many efforts have been made, the population goes up, and now you say that the population has gone down. what point in time and how much has it gone down? >> well, it's down to around, as i understand it about 147,000 up from a high of 165-170,000 and dropped because they will change in the good time credits and there's transfers. that was the purpose of the governor's proclamation. >> it's possible in the two ye

. >> so it answers justice breyer's earlier question that relying on the i-9 does not provide safe harbor because you cannot just provide those forms and that is what you have to rely on the e-verify. >> it is modeled after the federal law. just as federal law has a defense for of lawyers who in good faith follow i-9, so does the state law. >> is seen to be exactly the same on this point, but i do not understand how they fit together. suppose -- the first thing an employer does is receive the forms from an employee, looks at the forms. the reasonably seem to be authentic, so that employer now has the good faith status provided by the i-9 process under both federal and state law, but under both fedeand state law, the employer either must or may also use e- verification system. employer gets back and notices a non-authorization. and that is supposedly a rebuttable presumption under both systems, that the employee is not authorized to work. how does that fit together? if you have a complete defense for having used the i-9 process in good faith, the whole e- verification process seems to be i

that is exactly the type of case the supreme court takes, as justice breyer said. i expect them to ultimately take and decide this case. host: finally, a political question for you. brian moran accused you of using this suit as a political spring board while also promoting the health care market in virginia, which would benefit you. guest: apparently, he does not appreciate the importance of the constitution, and i do. that is the first thing in my oath of office. we are protecting the constitution. host: any other political aspirations? guest: not at this time, rather than maintaining our survivability. we are taking a beating from people who like this kind of command and control government. we made a decision to proceed, based on the law and constitution. i believe we were right. the court has expressed that they think we are right. whatever the political consequences of that are entirely secondary to the fact that this is the right thing to do. host: virginia attorney general, nelli, thank you for being with us. guest: first of all, 12 of those cases, they were

on the rehnquist court, the justices to shutdown state laws were breyer and ginsburg. what about the roberts court? i want to distinguish between three separate strands of judicial conservatism that are fighting in the courts and the political culture today. they vastly complicate the picture, suggesting that a simplistic opposition between those who believed the constitution to belize what it says and those who do not does not do justice to the political debate. these three divisions are the tea party and costa to solis, the libertarians, and the conservatives. who are the key party and constitutionalists? the supreme court has only one acolyte. that is justice clarence thomas. he combines anti federalism and opposition to the elite. he had these views before the tea party was up and running. he is the model 40 party justice. tea party justice. it is significant that to learn that professor codevilla had not learned of them. i read about him in the new york times. because additional source cited at the party rallies is the one they weighed on the mall when they marche

. >> maybe you would like to answer justice breyer's question. >> the remedy we are requesting is extension. the court looked at language in the several ability cause that was similar to this -- the severability clause and said that type of language gives courts the power to a remedy. >> there is another slight problem with that. reading this carefully, which i hope i have done, it seems to me it may also discriminate against fathers. that is because c says that the woman has to have been physically present for a continuous period of one year. i read at least one article as says that word does not appear with the father. that is as someone is living down in texas and happen to go visit on christmas their father or across the border for five minutes, that they cannot take advantage of this. is that true? >> i did not know the answer to that. >> if it is true, with think that the father -- i would think that the fathers are really worse off. it could turn out that is really a problem. does that help you with the remedy? >> traditionally, immigration law when you have continuous requirements,

i remembered mine, but five to six years ago, justice o'connor and justice breyer convened a conference in washington to address the threats to judicial independence which seemed to be snowballing at the time. and the most significant thing and the most shocking thing i think that i learned the first day that we were there was the statistic that you've already heard this evening that depending on who does the measuring, only about 2/3 at best, 60% of the people in the united states, can name three branches of government. they simply are unaware of a tripod type scheme of government and a separation of powers. the implication of that for judicial independence is that if one does not know about three branches of government, and the distinctive obligations of each branch, then talking about judicial independence makes absolutely no sense whatever. independence why? independence from what? independence for what reason? you get absolutely nowhere because there is not a common basis in knowledge for discourse. and when i and others left that meeting, we realized that yeah, we had a lot to wor
