this afternoon, attorney general eric holder was forced to respond to a question from the fifth circuit courtappeals after the president said this. >> for year what is we heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism for lack of judicial restraint. an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. >> kimberly: the court demanded a letter from the department of justice to clarify whether the administration respects the authority of the judicial branch.

dream of making the invisible stories visible but only with your help please tell the seventh circuit court of appeals how important and bad videos are and bad this me. so bed two hundred twelve has begun and now a ball is in your court. but it looks like our lake is caving to pressure alison behind anti-union legislation voter id laws and stand your ground laws across the u.s. but since the trayvon martin case the pressure to get corporations to leave the group has really picked up and in recent weeks coca-cola mexico mcdonald's wendy's into it mars kraft foods and others have all stopped supporting the group it's day alec announced that they would be disbanding their safety and safety elections task force the dealt with more social issues so in a statement alex chairman said the group will be refocusing their commitment to free markets limited government and pro growth pro growth principles so is that a victory yet joining me to discuss is we investigate reporter for republic report or it could be thanks for joining us and i first started let's do a little bit of background we've spoken a

weighed in on a copyright case it was being heard by the seventh circuit court of appeals and their take well the n.p.a. thinks that people who embedded videos and websites that facilitated the embedded copyright material are just as guilty as the person that posted the source video if that appeals court ruled that way was true and that could be the end of the betting videos as we know it here on the show we don't want to and to come so we made a little called action and here it is. this is a loner she's the host of a show that works to dig up the stories that no one else on t.v. is talking she has a dream that eventually people will care about the stories that are often overlooked by the mainstream media this story as yet another example of our constitution our freedom of speech being put in jeopardy and that's right the same practices that got us into a financial crisis are now making their return now we constantly talk about the obama administration's war on whistleblowers on this show but the fact that under his ministration already six people have been charged under the espionage ac

it wasn't the fifth circuit court of appeals. a three-judge republican-appointed panel. mr.th who wrote the letter was completely out of bounds. nothing to do with the case in front of him. he got in a political hissy fit and got mad and demanded a letter. why don't you go mr. obama and write 1,000 times on the board about what the judges have the right to do. he had no right to write the letter. it was a political item. that's all it was. by a reagan appointee. >> andrea: he is trying to politicize the court. you don't think the remarks -- >> bob: is there precedent to write a letter to executive branch? is there precedent? >> andrea: there isn't but there also isn't precedent for what the president did. >> bob: sure there is. >> kimberly: the criticism going back and forth is bush has had problems with the supreme court, too. but when you compare and contrast how the administration handled this, very different. >> dana: we lost big cases in particular on terrorism. terrorist policy. and detainee policy. i remember when it came down and kennedy was the deciding vote and the

we're just getting word the 9th circuit court of appeals has upheld the state ban on affirmative action in public college admissions. attorneys argued the case in february. the plaintiffs are asking to overturn the california 15-year-old ban on race based admissions, citing a steep drop in black, latino, native american students on campus, but it appears affirmative action ban withstood yet another challenge to the 1996 voter approved law. again, the 9th circuit court of appeals upheld that ban on considering race in public college admissions. >>> other breaking news coming into the newsroom now, a 6.3 reported magnitude earthquake being felt near was who can a mexico. no reports of damage thus far, but we are efforting any new information for you. >>> also in the news today, volunteer search effort for sierra lamar is taking a break this week so investigators can examine items found last week. hundreds of volunteers spent the past six days searching through fields and neighborhoods within a 20 mile radius of the home in morgan hill. the 15-year-old has been missing for 18 days now, aft

the fifth circuit court of appeals was down right miffed, ordering the department of justice to submit that three-page document affirming the federal court's authority to strike down unconstitutional laws. indeed, the supreme court has done it more than 160 times. now, the white house continues including today to try to walk back the president's unprecedented remarks saying, well, he was just referring to cases involving the commerce clause, but when it was pointed out that those cases have also been overturned by the high court, recently in the morrison and lopez cases which, megyn, you pointed out, the white house then parsed it even more by saying those two cases did not involve major economic activity like health care. and so now we see even more parsing in this three-page document submitted moments ago to the fifth circuit court of appeals. megyn? megyn: just want to add a little bit more for our viewers now having reviewed the whole letter. again, as i say, they make clear they believe the courts have the power of judicial review, they acknowledge it's been in existence for 200-p

there are differences between circuit courts but i'm not going to go deeply into this. finalizing today's lecture is what happens if we stay at the status quo? what if we just do nothing and we keep the system as it is? first of all, we're not saving any money by continuing to not invest federal dollars. taxpayers are still going to foot the bill regardless, whether we're doing it through paying hospitals, through paying through loss of community stability, through inability to be gainfully employed. so there's no gain there. we haven't seen any reductions despite the general reductions in some areas of crime for serious violence for our youth and that's a pretty significant warning sign. so we might be thrilled and happy that the crime rate has reduced in some areas, although those of you who follow this very closely know that we've seen increases in pockets, particularly in property crime. we know that the serious violence rate for youth is not decreasing. so here the investment is much better in prevention than it is in the so-called treatment, which is what we consi

the government of by the defense and probably in about a year or so we'll know what the second circuit court of appeal says with regard to mr boots appeal but the federal government the u.s. government takes a very aggressive approach extraterritorial if someone is in london and wire transfers a sum of money to an individual and early on and unbeknown stop them the money kings through citibank in new york that pinging that touching of u.s. jurisdiction is sufficient jurisdiction for the united states government to charge both of those individuals with money laundering they're both facing extradition proceedings if they both lose they're looking at up to twenty years of parole twenty years without parole as are spicing the federal judge in manhattan u.s. government decided they wanted to throw a are able to manufacture in my view jurisdiction not illegally a form of in profit one where they were able to pull mr boot into the jurisdiction of the u.s. courts and placed him in extradition proceedings of the way you. thailand and had the next provided to the united states and thus we see the outc

arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement now this decision stands out in the way that several other circuit courts of rules so we could be seeing it go all right a supreme court but first let's find out more about this attempts at government overreach and how to apply to the case of bradley manning joining me to discuss is josh gerstein reporter for politico josh thanks so much for joining us tonight and i guess if we could just start by going back to the computer fraud and abuse act and what was the actual purpose of it was when it was originally passed well i think it dates back to nineteen eighty-four or so and the idea was to basically have a law that would make it a federal crime to break into somebodies computer it seemed like it was primarily aimed at people who were outside of the government office or a business office trying to crack into their computers and pull information out. and so here the court is saying that the language is so broad that basically if you're an employee and you're sitting at your desk and you're getting something that violates the policies they're technically they

the government or by the defense and probably in about a year or so we'll know what the second circuit court of appeal says with regard to distributes appeal so this is going to be a very long and drawn out than in what has already been a long drawn out case of course and a very controversial one now that to boots wife spoke to us she said the no one was looking for of until the u.s. decided it wanted in this instance of what she had to say. but i think it was a long period of eight years from two thousand and one to two thousand and eight and have there been any proof that he was really involved in some illegal activities at the un russia and in support would have certainly known about it and would have done something but in reality nobody did anything nobody was really looking for victor they all claimed they were looking for him but they did nothing he wasn't hiding he was openly living in russia under his real name. group's wipe out of the douglas why did washington want this particular man so badly above many others as well i think it's because the u.s. government believe that mr pook w

republican judge jerry smith on the first fifth circuit court freaked out when president obama said that in effect pointing out that the judges in on the supreme court are not elected a lowly lawyer for the justice department before his court and smith demanded that this guy produce within forty eight hours a letter at least three pages long single spaced saying the president recognizes this right to strike down laws that smith doesn't like actually the president does recognize that but you know setting aside scalia calls himself a regional saying he's only reflecting the original intent of the founders but the entire eighteenth century the first century of this nation's existence the supreme court never once struct out a law or even claimed to have the power to do that based on the constitution the courts have clearly overreached turning to the dictators of our nation throwing out the will of we the people of marbury in eight hundred three the citizens united in twenty ten to this week strip search decision they're both throwing out laws and making laws powers only given in the constitu

anything else you want to bring up, you go to the circuit court.ich they've scheduled for over a month from now, that would be where zimmerman would enter a plea. as you can see today, he wasn't required to say anything and the judge more or less told him not to. >> standby just one moment because it seems as though, if we can still hear it, that mark o'mara is approaching the court again. >> there is a certain amount of information in the court file necessary because of the filing of the information and also because of some of the probable cause information. and that includes personal information about some witnesses, some witness statements, some addresses, telephone numbers. even i believe, although i vant reviewed court file, maybe some information specific to trayvon martin, a juvenile, and the concern is with the focus this case has gotten to date, that there are going to be and already have been requests to get that information. so, i am seeking on my client's behalf and just in the interest of justice on a temporary basis that we do a compl

not go for that. >> in the big talker this morning, department of justice responds to the 5th circuit courtf appeals after requesting a clarification of how the administration views the health care law. and holder said the power of the court to review the constitutional of legislation is beyond dispute. >> does it change what happened in that is what bill and megyn were talking about whether the supreme court will hold the president's comments about hip. they disagree. >> these gives, they read the pains, they watch "the factor," they know what is going on and they know what president obama did. some of them will be just like the judge in texas, well, that is out of line, so that will hurt the president's cause. >> i don't think so. >> i don't think so. why think they care that president obama thinks its would be unprecedented or activist to cycle down the law or whatever. i don't then they care what he thinks. i don't think they would be shocked to hear they think they should uphold it. and they have heard through the solicitor general. >> human beings want to be respected and if someone d

that was the unusual order by a federal circuit court. attorney general eric holder personally responded saying nothing has changed. the power of the courts to review the constitutionality of legislation is beyond dispute. president obama's top law enforcement official saying of course the administration believes the courts have the power to declare acts of congress unconstitutional, a long accepted pillar of constitutional law. still, this seemingly academic exercise is at the center of a testy political dispute over the supreme court's review of the health care law. >> i'm just saying that there's a lot of -- i mean, it kind of ridiculous to believe that the president wasn't talking about the context of the case. >> the white house remains on the defensive with many republicans happy to continue the fight. >> the president crossed a dangerous line this week, and anyone who cares about liberty needs to call him out on it. so i would respectfully suggest the president needs to back off. >> all of this stems from these comments by the presi
