it appears the entire foundation for this lawsuit is based on a book and a documentary by you'll gilbertpresident obama's father was a communist in chicago and elvis is still alive, crazy theories, and this is the foundation on this trayvon hoax, and there is something to the fact that that witness, the prosecution witness, the supposed girlfriend who was not the real girlfriend at the time, and if you remember her testimony, and i do, it was very, very shaky, fred. i didn't buy that testimony. we don't know yet, we don't know what will happen here, discovery will take place, and we'll see if it can withstand a motion to disme dismiss. >> avery, how do you see this? and to the timing of the lawsuit, so many years after the fact and trey von martin's family is still grieving. >> there are all sorts of problems. it is pretty septic tank stuff. you couple that with attention deficit. from conspiracy, defamation, to malicious prosecution, and at the end of the day, no one has interviewed the witnesses and basically, and i'm in agreement with that, comes from a book and a film and frankly thi

i'm glad you brought up the gilbert and sullivan reference.now that line about doing nothing in particular. i don't think we're going to see that kind of he levity with this chief justice. now, he'll take his lead from rehnquist, but it doesn't have to be that way. bill rehnquist, when he was presiding over the impeachment trial minimized his role. he could wield much greater power. the constitution says when a president is impeached, the chief justice presides. that's because normally the vice president would preside. that's all the constitution says. senate rules going back decades give us more elaboration on what the judge can do. the chief justice can rule on all matters of evidence if the senators don't like that ruling, they have to take a formal vote and overrule it. it never came to that with rehnquist. sao the chief would have lots of power. will he use it? he's much more reserved as a person. he's already over on the other side of the street at the court saying he's only calling balls and strikes. he wants to -- he wants to be seen a

he had this vessel role with stripes he borrowed from the gilbert and sullivan character but he understoodhe had a senate that was less polarized. he stayed out of the way by and large. over whether there would be live witnesses or not. in the end, there were three witnesses. - - of course nobody knows. at least if the clinton precedent is followed, the senators all sit there at their desks. day in and day out for days on end. there's a whole set of senate rules. as soon as the house votes impeachment, the chief justice is sworn in just then for the vice president can't stage a coup basically. these are things that go back a long way and it could turn into something that's taken more seriously than sometimes the food fight we see typically going on. >> exactly. i think the solemnity of the proceedings will be different. it's not just because there isn't a jim jordan is equivalent in the senate. think it's because the senate does have a full book. a rulebook used from andrew johnson. it's going to be the rulebook used here and to pick up on something you were saying, the second feature this

in fact, he would joke, using a line from gilbert and sullivan's olanthy, i did nothing in particular and did it well. i think chief justice roberts will want to recede into the background, but he might be under a lot more pressure to rule on documents and witnesses given the division we're seeing, but however he rules, again, dana, this is a senate show and a senate majority could overrule what he does. >> that's really the key, and it's not like things were hunky dory in '99 but there was a bipartisan agreement, at least, going into the trial on how to deal with it. and democrats, their whole m.o. is hoping to pick off some republicans on votes on whether or not witnesses are allowed, and there could be times where they all look at the chief justice and say, you decide. >> yes, and i think what the chief would do is try to take his lead from where the senate majority is, because he knows even in the constitution, no matter where he pre sidsides, t constitution says it is the sole job of senators to decide whether a president is convicted. it takes 70% of votes, two-thirds majority.

he later explained he got the idea from a costume in a gilbert and sullivan production.mportantly, senators take a separate oath, as we said, to stand as jurors in the trial of the president. they swear to do impartial justice according to the constitution and laws just as young lindsey graham implored senators to do when it was clinton they were impeaching. >> people have made up their mind in a political fashion that will hurt this country long term. if you don't -- if you can't vote for impeachment, give us the -- do justice to the case. don't decide the case before the case is in. and this bothers me greatly. >> days later, he went on to say this. >> and somebody mentioned if the republican president would have done this, let me just say this. it would be a good test for us. if a republican president had done these things, would a republican delegation gone to tell him to get out of town? i hope so. i would like to think that we would have done that. only time will tell what happens here. >> but then this weekend at an appearance in the middle east, perhaps days away

checking traffic here on 101 for the super commuters working your way out of gilbert we are seeing brakeand a little sluggish. about 27 miles per hour through their. >>> a lot of fog as you can see floating it over the city. the numbers a little bit colder this morning. cooler but drier. sunup is at 7:21 and the sunset tonight at 4:53. and the son, you might actually be able to see it because there are fewer cloud today. relatively mild for the time of the year. returns late saturday. first in the north bay and then spreading south. we are expecting today to be partly cloudy. low 60s in land. rain return saturday afternoon, evening, and saturday night for the rest of the bay area. it will be unsettled on sunday and christmas week looks damp and unsettled. in the mountains, not a care because it will snow on sunday. where winter weather advisories already. snow expected, and fairly hefty -- travel delays are likely. future cast shows that we've got more on the way next week. low pressure, a shot over vandenberg and we will get clouds and showers from time to time. as we look ahead to next

chief justice rehnquist, the most significant thing he did was adorn his robe like a character from gilbertlivan. he took the role seriously and it wasn't a joke or anything like that, but it's not a significant role. the real figure here, far more than chief justice rehnquist, is mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader. he has to keep the 53 votes of his caucus in line. what you need to keep an eye on are the five or six senate republicans up for re-election whose votes are really going to matter as a structure of this trial. but they and mitch mcconnell matter far more to the outcome of this proceeding that the chief justice ever will. >> lawmakers battling over calling witnesses during a senate trial. as elliott pointed out, it seems unlukely that chief justice roberts will have any kind of ultimate say in this. do you anticipate the call for witnesses or additional depositions is that going to be organically pushed up through this small group of democratic and republican senators that are going to have some influence over mitch mcconnell? >> i think we should remember what mitch mcc
