did columbia handle or did barr na -- barnard handle itself in a way that opened the doors differently for women? >> thanks for the question. barnard always had its own faculty and that made a difference because that faculty could be women and men. so it wasn't quite as vulnera e vulnerable. it was a school within a university and, therefore, the woman's college of the university until columbia went co-education. >> barnard still exists. >> absolutely. barnard still exists and is very powerful and is a wonderful resource. it's interesting that barnard had a very long-term dean. i think she served from 1947 to '11, virginia guildersly and she was able to negotiate agreement that enabled barnard students to take courses in the graduate school in a way that was -- that was unusual. and she also was pivotal in opening up professional schools to women earlier, for example, than in the case of harvard, so i think barnard was in a stronger position or it had stronger -- a stronger head in that position. and so, therefore, it has never been the kind of, quote, hostage. it's interesting to me,

primarily gray skies, a couple light showers west of columbia. again, today, tonight, not so much tomorrow but saturday we have a chance of getting a little bit of moisture in here. that's going to be the only chance. sunday and beyond looks to be beautiful but dry weather. 77 right now, 79% humidity, barometer is 29.91. you look at these numbers and say it's warm, humid and stuffy again. yeah, it is but there's a different feel to the morning. there's not a lot of tension. western maryland pleasant, 66 oakland, the mid 70s easton, packs river and ocean city, 80 annapolis and kent island, 77 in columbia. that cold front dove through the ree -- region and put its brakes on. we have to think to ourselves there could be a chance of a shower or thunderstorm around, nothing severe. 93 today, the max heat index 96. still hot but not the blow torch of the past few days. 70 over night. tomorrow maybe a couple of thunderstorms, a high of 82. saturday looks like a couple showers, we may get rain saturday, 84. big change many that day's for-- in that day's

so they picked on the district of columbia. picked a fight with the district of columbia. after all the district of columbia doesn't have a vote. even if the billle is about only the district of columbia. -- bill is only about the district of columbia, but in the process they picked a fight with the women of the united states because this is still a pro-choice nation. they didn't want to get women worked up in an election year, but they wanted a federal label. so they thought they could get the house to pass a bill that's coming to the floor today on suspension that women in the district of columbia are not entitled to an abortion previability at 20 weeks. mind you, everywhere else in the united states that right still would exist. and while they are at it, they say let's penalize women by allowing an injunction against abortion by these women by anybody, any caretaker who has had anything to do with them anywhere in their life. i guess the elementary school nurse could come in and seek and injunction and penalize doctors. two years in jail. and a fine. no health exception

so mitt was building the country while the president was at columbia smoking weed and snorting coke.resident wrote that in his book, so it must be true, that he was smoking weed and snorting coke at columbia. in his book, president obama writes of a difficult period in high school when he lost all contact with his father, who he had met only once when he was 10 years old. he wrote, "i had stopped writing to my father, and he'd stopped writing back. i had grown tired of trying to untangle a mess that wasn't of my making. i had learned not to care. pot had helped, and booze, maybe a little blow when you could afford it." that's it. that's what the president wrote in his memoir of his drug use. but the dittoheads listening to rush believe that he wrote in his book that he was smoking weed and snorting coke at columbia, which he got into, obviously, due to affirmative action, which is why he got into harvard law school, and that's why he became president of the harvard law review, elected president, because of affirmative action. now, rush could be bitter about barack obama's academic ac

columbia law school is located in new york city. this is a little over an hour. >>> welcome. welcome to everyone at home, as well. we'll continue the discussion of redistricting law. last time we dealt with the cases and we'll review those and we'll also talk about sort of historical examples of gerrymandering. the word gerrymander comes from the anti-federalist governor of massachusetts who in 1812 passed redistricting plan which looked like a salamander and it's because that -- of that districting plan and in particular one of the districts in it, specifically this one right here that we then had the term gerrymander coined. let's see. so if you look, this is a picture of massachusetts and that was the district right here. which aldridge gerry drew. despite the fact that the federalist had won more votes in the 1812 election, about 1,000 more votes or so, the democratic republicans won more seats in the state senate. that's because of the district like that. when one of the journalists at the time saw this district, he said, well, let's -- someone next to him said that's a
