but back to what michael eric dyson was saying is absolutely right.g a disingenuous conversation with the american people saying basically that we have a choice when it comes to immigration reform. we don't have a choice. the system is broken. we have 11 million people that are undocumented living within our borders. we have people that may have come here the right way that all of a sudden their visas have expired because there's a backlog in immigration, they cannot be processed so they wake up one day being completely here all documented and the next day undocumented. so we're not having a genuine conversation, and also we're living in a completely different century where people now, immigrants that are high skilled, low skilled, they actually have the luxury of going to other countries and so when -- if we don't provide the best and the brightest an opportunity to come and give us their innovation and their bright ideas, they're going to go to competitors and that's not good for our economy nor for our future as a country. >> josh? what's your reac

professor dyson. >> well, that depends on who's speaking. i think that many people think that if the president said let's have a vigorous conversation, i welcome debate about what's going on in this country around intelligence gathering and data collections, then edward snowed is a hero to many people, a whistleblower and not a traitor. a traitor to the worst instincts of american democracy. whether or not he can technically be tried is a different matter. but i think that ultimately if the truthing will out and we understand better we're more transparent what's going on here, what we need to keep secret about and tell the truth about in the open public square, then that conversation has been furthered and mr. snowden played a critical role in that. >> dana, speaker boehner calls him a traitor. is he a traitor. >>. >> i don't see it that way. i see what this whistleblower did was let the public know about something that every branch of our government, this administration, the previous administration, the congress and the courts were keeping

one time that is legally accepted as part of the nation, and the other type, which as professor dyson has made the point, pays taxes, contributes to the economy in all kinds of ways, but basically they are a second-tier citizen of this nation. >> and basically contribute -- -- underground economy, because they're not being paid fair wages. if you make sure they come out of the shadows, not only will they be paid fair wage, but so will every other american, because you have cut off the black market. that every sing the american now can compete fairly on a level playing field, because their levels will be accounted appropriately as well. >> indeed. professor dyson, i don't know if you're suffering with hayfever, because your eyes look misty today urges he's just excited. >> i'm excited over the great day. >> you're welcome, sir. >>> just ahead, the history decision, but first she once ran for president, still an active member of congress, and michele bachmann wants to share her view of gay marriage. but is anyone listening? >> she essentially said the decision today cannot undo god's wo

dyson, this is red meat for the conservatives, isn't it?even if you're on a diet, you can't resist that piece. the reality is it's interesting that e.w., what does that stand for? that jackson would argue that slavery was not as bad for the family as 1960s programs. well, first of all, he's absolutely historically famished and need to be fed a diet of insight. the family a was not even allowed to exist in slavery. black people could not legally be married. there were no families that were acknowledged by the state, number one. number two, black people were so desirous of confwruigation and joining together in kinship that they formed informal bonds and formal bonds according to their own internal rituals. thirdly, the '60s enabled the proliferation of opportunities and possibilities. head start programs, which had been denied to african-american kids so they could get a leg up in terms of going to school and not only the voting rights and civil rights bill and all the infrastructure made possible. jackson needs a history lesson and so sad t

michael eric dyson, professor of sociology at georgetown university. josh, you worked on cases in florida, do jury selection consulting. so what do you want as the prosecution, and as the defense, on their first day, the chance to make the first impression, in a case like this. what do you want to establish with those jurors? >> the first thing you want to establish is the right tone. okay? and so much of being a great trial attorney is being able to establish a rapport with the jury. and i can tell you from the outset that i think the defense fumbled in a big way. i think that in a case where the deceased family is sitting 10, 15 feet away from you, to tell a knock-knock joke in a case as serious and that has received the type of exposure that this case has received was a huge mistake. conversely, i think the prosecution hit a home run. i think they had the tone just right. i think that throughout their opening statement, they echoed the extreme nature of the case. >> so one of the things here legally, i just want to -- i know a bit about the law. my

professor dyson, i wonder if the words that dr.artin luther king wrote from birmingham jail today resonate with you? 50 years ago, this is what he wrote. as in so many past experiences, our hopes eps had been blasted and the shadow of deep disan buttonment settled upon us. we had no alternative except to prepare for direct action, whereby we would present our very bodies as a means of laying our case before the conscience of the local and the national community. i'm afraid to say, do we not have to do that again now? >> absolutely. look, against our will. one boy's body lies in the recent memory of florida on trial now is the man who willy-nilly deprived him of his life and murdered him i believe in cold blood but we allow the justice system to take its course. so our bodies must be reenergized, remobilized to the front of american democracy to protect our interests. and for all of those who thought that president obama ushered in a post racial era, for all of those who believed we no longer -- >> please, professor, please. who bel

so speak of chatter, michael eric dyson was on martin bashir. who is that? we'll show you. >> is this actually going to lead to something, do you think, or just more of the same, more continuous calls for the attorney general to stand down? >> i think the attorney general should step down, off of that plateau where he resides in high principle and -- but he shouldn't give up havesment what he needs to understand is that he is the chief law giver of the united states of america. he's the motion our time and at least for this administration. >> the moses. >> obviously they're going to start doing that, the liberals are going to say, hey, he's great. bob did it just a minute ago. he's great guy. but still, we showed a list of controversies that he's embroiled in right now. >> show me an attorney general in the modern era that has not been controversial. >> i'm going to call him tag. >> you're missing the whole factor. i cannot believe how racist professor dyson is to compare eric holder to moses malone, just because they're black and because he plays basketball

joining me is michael eric dyson, and correspondent margaret tolub.from the north lawn of the white house is correspondent peter alexander, and we are also joined by "new york times" white house correspondent peter baker. peter alexander at the white house, i go to you first where you are live. jeffrey goldberg in "the atlantic" shows this calling of rice of the bull pen to nsa a spurtly a payback for susan rice's loyalty, but also a sign that president obama and susan rice areç in sync on a brought said of issues. >> i was struck by what jeffrey wrote there. the irony in all of this is the fact when she withdrew her name as possible secretary of state, it looked like she was getting pushed to the side to some degree, but now going right to the hard of the president's foreign policy. in effect she kind of becomes the supervisor of the person who was ultimately appointed as secretary of state john kerry there. she's the one who sort of disperses the administration's foreign policy views and its desires throughout multiple agencies. she's also going to

michael eric dyson, "time" magazine wrote this. liberals rejoicing about the gay marriage ruling, a lot of conservatives rejoicing about the voting rights ruling. here's what was written. "the thread running through all these cases is the possibility of change in american society. justice anthony kennedy was only stating the obvious when he wrote the changes in thinking about same-sex marriage have come clowe sloely at first and then in rapid course. if such change is possible in this area, is it also possible in the realm of race relations? the court thinks so, writing that the ghost of the 1960s can no longer be held against those states, particularly in the south." wi where does this go now? >> it's not the ghosts. it's the real living problems that are prenltsed. think about attorney general holder's response to this, talking about the corrosion of the foundations of american democracy. he pointed out that texas' redistricting plan and south carolina's i.d. plan were both rejected by lower courts, federal courts in texas and so
