doris kearns good win will be here to rate the role of obama and nancy pelosi. is she lbj in a skirt? >>> and one other question i wilt pose tonight. with all the hate speech that's going on, why do democrats even go on fox news? they don't tell the truth. but first, here's the hot story tonight. of course, that's got the country fired up. listen to this very closely. it sounds great. universal health care is now the law of the land. president obama signed the senate health care bill today into law. i think vice president joe biden, he stole the show. he put it exactly the way it is. >> this is a big [ bleep ] deal. >> president saying yeah, yeah, i know. this is a bill deal. for the first time health care is your right. and i have been so moved by this story for the last year. i've been all over the country. i've done countless town hall meetings over the last two years. i've seen desperation in the eyes of a lot of people that i've met. the hunger for change has been inspiring to see. this is why the president of the united states is where he is. he's the pres

doris, this question of history, if we put this into some kind of historical context. thinking of you this week, we were thinking about fdr. we found this sound byte from him signing social security into law back in 1935. here is what he said. >> seems to me if the senate and the house of representatives in this long and arpd ous session had done nothing more than pass this security bill, social security act, the session would be regarded as historic for all time. >> historic, but also arduous. certainly health care was, and if you look at the tone of this debate, some of the calls for violence, some of the violence against congressional offices, racial epithets, all the rest. you heard senator graham say the process was sleazy, it harkens back to another time. >> each time we've passed one of the major legislations there's been a lot of turmoil around them. after social security in 1938, landon ran to repeal that bill. he claimed in the 36 election, in your paycheck they would be taking out the payroll tax and you'd never get it back. he ran on that issue and he won a

. >> we're joined on the phone by barbara doris, outreach director of those abused by priests. is it you would like the vatican to do? >> we feel they need to accept responsibility for what was done, and they have a chance to begin to right the wrongs. they could establish an international registry of priests who have been accused of molesting children. turn over to local law enforcement agencies and allow them to investigate crimes. they could to go -- the pope has tremendous authority and could say to his bishops, i want you to visit every parish in your diocese. >> do you want any money out of this? because there are critics of s.n.a.p. that suggest you are tied to a lawyer trying to reach a settlement of hundreds of millions of dollars. is your aim money? >> no, our aim is to aid anyone who has been harmed and protect the innocent. those are our goals. >> here is the quote from the vatican. this is a pretext for attacking the church. this is a well organized plan with a very clear aim. we should not be too scandalized that some bishops knew about it and kept it secret. this

dori doreen gentzler is off today. democrat steny hoyer said at least ten democrats have been threatened. steve handelsman has more on capitol hill. >> reporter: wendy, thank. good evening. for many around here and america passions incited by his health care reform debate have not cooled. as the senate debated, police reports piled up. a brick thrown through the window of denies slaughter'sous in buffalo. and a door smashed at democrat gabriel gifford's off in tucson. in virginia, a tea party blog posted democrat tom pierello's home. in fact, it was his brother's home. roughly ten democrats have been threatened. members are to be on alert. >> to take precautions so they do not subject themselves or their families to physical harm. >> reporter: democrats want health kerosene as a done deal. but what house democrats passed it sunday, they also passed a set of changes, higher taxes on the well off. lower taxes on union health plan that senate democrats hope to okay this week. but republicans are objecting. >> more taxes a

i would also like to welcome our moderator, professor josÉ alvarez and also thanks justice doris cohennd mark meyer, chair of our foreign comparative law committee, for putting together this wonderful program. this topic, the use of foreign law in domestic courts, is very fitting for the new york city bar which has long been active internationally with so many of our members having international practices or otherwise having been involved in continued to be involved in international causes. the city bar has 16 committees focused on international affairs. with many more committees addressing international topics through their work. we actually have more than 160 committees of this association, so we touch on-- there are very few areas we don't touch on and an and certainly the inter-national law areas when we give particular focus to. to give you an idea of some of the international activity that this bar association has an engaged in just over the last few months, we had a delegation of lawyers meeting with the beijing and shanghai bar. they travel to china to establish a working relat

and i have a "map from doris meissner who was the commission of the ins back in those days. she said, we did believe geography would be an ally to us. it was there since the number of people crossing the border through arizona would go down to a trickle. that inking was wrong. as i have said we have found in the last 10 years we have found close to 2000 bodies and those are only the bodies we found. i know i don't have a real long time to speak here but i would like to tell you the story of one, the body of one person who was found. it is the title of my vote, the death of jostling. she was 14 years old and she died two hours from here in arizona in the wilderness in january of 2000 and eight. jostling was a young girl living in el salvador. from other wasn't illegal immigrant in l.a. and jocelyn had a younger brother who was 10. they had been left behind and tell the mother could find the money to bring them up here. they were living with their grandmother. the mother scrape together the money and god knows how much he paid. some of the were high as $8000 a person. so it wo

the republicans on this remind me very much of oscar lavantz great line of doris day, i knew her before she was a virgin. we froze the clock in 2003 the three hours in the house of representatives to switch five votes on the floor to pass prescription drug. >> the process actually does matter. the nebraska compromise and all these deals that were cut, that actually matter to people. people i find the demon past this idea that we're not going vote on it, we will deem it past and vote on the amendments i find it so repulsive i'm out of my skin with anger. >> why. >> you take responsibility f you support something you vote for it. then you vote for the amendment. and you take responsibility. the idea that you are dodging responsibility, the nancy pelosi, i have a quote. she said i like it deem and pass because pem don't have to vote on the senate bill that is a betrayal of everything we teach our children about democracy. and the fact that people are thinking about this means they're so deep in the weeds about trying to get this passed they've decided the ends justify any means. >> lehrer:
