david k. johnson, great to have you with us tonight.ill profit from all of this, from detroit's bankruptcy? and your take on the potential ripple effect and what's unfolding. >> well, this is an opportunity for bankruptcy lawyers who get paid when they're flying in the airplane to go to meetings to charge $750 an hour. and there will be hundreds of millions of dollars paid out, hundreds of millions just in detroit. if what happens in detroit continues elsewhere, we'll see similar problems. michigan state constitution has a provision you cannot cut a public employee's pension. that seems real clear except the next provision of the constitution says every year you have to put enough money aside for the new pension benefits. a lot of the cities haven't been doing it. that's why saginaw has a bond issue. it's to catch up and put enough money in there. part of the theft in pengs to people, has been corporations, making it up later. that's what's going on here. >> a federal judge circumvented the state's constitution. as i see it right now, t

david. interesting report. >>> janet johnson is a criminal defense attorney and a former prosecutor based inlorida who can tell us a little bit more about how this one's likely to play out. hey, janet, we haven't heard from trayvon martin's family, but there's already plenty of upset over this. how common are these requests for reimbursement? >> you know, david just said that they don't get paid out very often, but most defense lawyers don't know it exists and they don't ask for it but the justice administration, the committee they just talked about, and the law says a defendant is not liable if he is not guilty. and mark made a great point, my clients after i get a not guilty say why don't i get more money back? why am i not getting your fees? why i am not getting my pain and suffering, i'm not guilty? and quite frankly, a defendant is entitled to it. >> i'm reminded of another high-profile florida case, in the casey anthony case. she was acquitted of the murder of her daughter, but she was convicted on four lesser counts of giving false information. david said there were no payouts of more

national editor and became a disciple of sorts to two of the posts great local writers david roeder and james johnson. dan has carried on their tradition of unbiased informed and must-read coverage. his new book, the "collision 2012" obama vs. romney and the future of elections in america is a follow on to the book dan and haynes johnson wrote about the 2008 campaign. and as dan says of the new book, he hadn't expected obama's second run for the presidency to turn out quite as compelling as the first groundbreaking one did but it did. the campaign did turn out to be just as compelling although in different ways. howell raines reviewing the book in the post the other day called it quote old-fashioned in a good sense, referring to the fact that it's filled with attributed quotes and closed focus reportage and thankfully lacks windy and alice's. but dam also shows a modern-day appreciation for the new technologies and social media the obama camp aim puts to such effective use. if you really want to understand why the election turned out as it did for america's political future read this book. we will be

i just want to close on this, the "washington post," just listen to you talking about haynes johnson and david broder and bob woodward and ben bradley and so many people who have been giants in journalism, and you included, a great paper has been sold. does it mean the end of the paper? it's been sold to a remarkable young man. your thoughts on that? >> charlie, if you were measuring this on the richter scale of earthquakes, this would have been off the charts yesterday. i was-- i had just arrived up in new york and got the world word that there was a big announcement and called a friend and said, what, is it?" and he said, "the word is the grahams have soaltd newspaper, sold the 'washington post'." i said, i don't believe it. that can't be true. i thought i would never see the day the grahams would silent paper. ben bradley said the first key to being a great editor is having a great owner and the grahams were that. they supported great journalism. they were fearless. as len downey, one of our former editor said, we made the journalistic decisions and always knew the grahams would support us.

argue that curb blocks images of richard nixon is what stays with us to this day or david levine's picture of lyndon johnson showing vietnam. he's going to be with us in the history books in perpetuity. so they have a lot to do with it but they seem despite the fact that our critics don't take many of them don't take them seriously, they seem to enrage people. the leading palestinian cartoonist was murdered on the streets of london, thrown into prison. they have a power that no one could fully understand. >> what is sort of the man you dubbed the father of american political cartooning had boss tweed put in jail. tell a little bit about thomas mast who had an influence in the late 1800's. thomas mast gave the democratic party the donkey and the republicans the elephant and gave us santa claus the white beer, roley cheeks gave us car toontz of boss tweed and boss tweed famously said i don't give a damn what they write about my constituents can't read but those pictures they can all see the damn pictures. then ironically when he was under do you think -- indictment he was identified by someone in chains. >> h

effort to get rid of obama: cenk: now, we have this fantastic panel with us, david sir, alan grayson, jayar jackson. governor johnsonwhat do you think of the idea of ted cruz, rand paul, et cetera saying it doesn't matter, we are going to shut it down to get writ of obamacare and the other republicans saying are you nuts? we're not going to get rid of obamacare and we're going to destroy the popularity of the republican party. >> as governor of new mexico, there were many instances where i did what i thought was right, and it went to court and the supreme court you determined that what i did, i could not do administratively. i do not believe that this can be done through defunding. you can't do it. this has to be a change in the law. do i believe that we should balance the federal budget? yes. should we shut down government to potentially balance the federal budget? yes, i think we should. i don't think it should be tied to obamacare. i'm in the camp that really believes that we are going to come to a man atory collapse and when the dollars we have don't buy a thing, because of the accompanies inflation that is goin

david: mary, based on what you said about ron johnson i think you will reject this notion.ever i'm going to ask it anyway. what do you think might have happened if ron johnson had been given more time? do you think there is any way, shape or form his gameplan could have worked or was it absolutely doomed to failure? >> well i really, it is easy to look back, to say yes, it was doomed to fail. think there were some good ideas there. but what you have to do with any good idea you have to test it. you just don't go out there and say, okay i will transform the entire storm base under this new strategy. then, second of all, department stores have taught the consumer for decades that they should wait and buy something on sale, or it should be promotional. taking away promotional strategy was absolutely wrong and doesn't work for department stores. so what es the best solution for penny? are they private equity takeover target? acquisition target? you at your firm imperial capital put a $8 price target on it. seems to be cheap for an acquisition, no? >> well the reason why we have

. >> reporter: shenee johnson lives in jamaica, queens, the same neighborhood where david ourlicht sayswas stopped and frisked several times. she wants the police to treat everyone fairly, but she wishes stop and frisk was even more vigorously enforced. had it been, she thinks it might have saved the life of her 17- year-old son kedrick. he was shot and killed at a party three years ago. >> if the murderer, the guy who killed my son had been stopped and frisked, kedrick might be alive today. >> reporter: johnson believes the views of people like her, people who have seen the impact of violent crime up close, are often ignored in the debate over the constitutionality of stop and frisk. >> complaining is easy, but just sitting back and doing nothing that's just a whole other thing. you do have cases where the police department have gone overboard, but it's all about being fair and not taking people rights away, but at the same time protecting the innocent ones like kedrick. >> reporter: defining what's fair and what's effective, balancing public safety with individual rights, is the heart

johnson embarrassed him. also the other guy in secondary is the corner nc state david amorson. >> you mentioned rambo, he is ang guy. you expect him to make mistakes rather than in week 1 against the eagles. >> remember rambo was a sixth round pick. issues off the field, drug issue in college. guy has talent. i wouldn't be surprised. >> he was spun like a top. chris johnson does that to guys. >> he runs a 4:25, forty. >> can they cut back on the penalties? rambo has unsportsman like. can they clean it up going into regular already season opener against the eagles? >> we talked about about rg3 not playing and kurt cousins starting. so many guys going down. by last count, over 55 guys lost for the season in the pre-season already. dolphins lose a tight end, he is out for the year. you want guys to stay healthy. couple of guys suspended. they lost adam character. >> you don't want to see anybody taken off the field. very good point. the net -- i am pushing panic button. >> you are pushing it now? it is almost september! >> tucker said they were going to run the table. >> he is delusional. tucker barnes, what doe

now david cameron at the time in two thousand and three actively campaigned in favor of the law and voted against its repealing in parliament as did the current mayor of london boris johnson and so the idea that this is in some way a fascist law i think is quite hysterical because this is a law that we had in britain less than ten years ago and actually the vast vast majority of the conservative party supports it and it's also fair to say that the vast majority of the conservative party didn't support same sex marriage to self when these perceptions are. going to say you know so for accused of homophobia because you spoke out against same sex marriage in britain critics though say it's simply an issue of a quality isn't it. well i think the problem with the same sex marriage bill was that it was forced through parliament in a in a very undemocratic fashion and there were lots of people that oppose same sex marriage on religious grounds but also in terms of their fears of what would happen in schools. lassally those those fears of shown to be real because the number of people have lost their jobs because they opposed same sex marriage people that will working in government
