alan ginsberg happened to be in india in 1961 and 1962. he had gone over to find out what it was that spiritual leaders in india knew that leaders in the west didn't. and he went about india during an 11-month stay in the country, trying to meet with every holy man he could, including the dalai lama. at the time ginsberg was experimenting with lsd and other substances like that, to see whether one could achieve consciousness through mind expanding drugs. and so he asked the dalai lama, he said what do you think about using lsd as a way of achieving parallel states of awareness in tibetan buddhism and he had a conversation about that. the dalai lama sort of teased him and said tell me about the extra sensory powers you get with lsd, can you see for example what's inside my brief days over there and the dalai lama said no no, it's knots like that. he offered to share some lsd to try it if he wanted to see how it worked. in this period in 1962, i don't think it was even illegal yet. i think it was 1965 before it was actually outlawed, but gin

justice ginsberg wrote a dissent, arguing that the test was a fish of the flawed as to give the city a good basis, if not a strong basis. thus there should not have been a violation. one last interesting observation about this case -- justice sotomayor, i think the rhetoric may have been modulated in part because you do not want to greet your newest colleague by just reversing her and her colleagues in broad and aggressive terms. the case may have been influenced by the fact that justice sotomayor was on the panel that was reversed, and it is fair to say the principle here was new enough that accord announced 5-4 and the decision was sharp enough that it cannot be said the second circuit decision was so completely wrong as some suggested. i will not go in detail to the rest of the anti-discrimination cases. they are listed for you here, but to give you an overview, there were a number of cases that arose this term under anti- discrimination statutes. under title 7 in some cases, under the individuals with disabilities education act idea, and age discrimination, and under title line.

justice ginsberg in a rare departure gave a long interview to "usa today," in which she said i think my male colleagues may not have appreciated how sensitive roles of 13 are about their bodies and privacy in relation to their bodies. then you get an opinion where the court seems to have shifted over to the fourth amendment ruling. i think that justice ginsberg's presence there was a way of saying that perspective may be brought sometimes by the differential experiences people have based on who they are. in this case, being a woman on the court gave her a different perspective. redding was a very interesting case, but i do not think it stops school officials from doing searches and more dangerous circumstances. i think the sleeper case -- have given you this under the heading of civil litigation. this was a case in which the court held insufficient a complain that named numerous high-ranking federal officials, including ashcroft and muller themselves, for allegedly putting arab muslim men into a high-security facilities right after the terrible events of 9/11, under a pattern of race

it is anthony kennedy, john paul stevens or ruth bader ginsberg, the answer is b. at 89 years old, john paul stevens is the oldest and longest serving member on the court. he was nominated by president ford. his first day on the supreme court was september 19th, 1975. >>> we begin this morning's head leans with a look at redskins training camp. if there is one thing the redskins have been known for it is the strength of the team's offensive line. the hogs as they were affectionately known were feared around the league but lately the offensive line has been a source of problems for the team. the current offensive line has turned in to a m.a.s.h. unit, one full of injuries to stephon heyer. and thomas is out with pain in his knee, the same one he had surgery on. that is three-fifths of campbell's bodyguards out of service. >> i'm not that concerned. not as bad as i thought it would be. take a few days off and see how i am in a couple of days. >> we have plenty of beef over there. coach them hard. as long as a guy is tough, i will coach him. >> other notes from camp,

i gladly give hurt my vote, because i think she meets the qualifications test used in scully and ginsberg, and if she, by being on the court, will inspire young women, particularly latina women, to seek a career and awa wall, that would be a good thing. i believe she will. i wish her well. america has changed for the better with her selection. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. senator schumer. >> thank you, and i want to add my comments to you, mr. chairman, for the judicious when you conducted these hearings, and i want to say to senator sessions that i thought his questions were short but fair, and to my colleagues that way. i also want to thank senator graham for the moving an important speech he gave in favor of the nation. and one final thing -- i'm sorry to be coming and going -- we have a democratic meeting at the finance committee to tie things down, so i apologize to my colleagues for that. i am enormously proud to be able to cast my vote today in favor of the confirmation of judge sotomayor. this is a historic day for america. americans are familiar with the inspiring story

golda ginsberg from the johns hopkins university school of medicine.you you just came off of this study that you said parents pass it down just like maybe high blood pressure or, you know - >> right. >> how did you find out that parents are anxious, the kids are anxious? >> we've known that for a while. so we know anxiety, like some other illnesses, run in families. what we didn't know is whether we could prevent kids whose parents struggle with anxiety from developing the same kinds of problems. >> what is the difference between being anxious and nervous? or is there? >> in some ways there is. anxiety and nervous is something all of us feel but when your anxiety becomes such a big problem in your life where it prevents you from going places and doing things then we call it an anxiety disorder. >> you'll grow out of it, that's what we tell our kids. >> yes. for many kids we thought kids would grow out of their anxiety or really didn't have anxiety because they don't have the same worries like mortgages or car payments that grownups have. but we were al

golda ginsberg and dr. giltenden. here to calm our nerves. let's start from the anxiety where from it comes. how do you know? >> a lot of times it's a carryover from the prior year. a lot of the anxiety comes from kids who have gotten grades that they didn't like very much last year. they had bad experiences in school with bullies or with other types of kids. that really creates a negative attitude towards school. we also look at kids who have a fit with their teachers. in the first week of school, some counties kids went back already. i got a first call of a kid already being suspended because he and the teacher just don't match. that's kinds of the history, that the child and teacher not a good match, creates a lot of anxiety for the child. i have not yet met the child that doesn't want to do well but there are roadblocks that get in the way. >> are there misconceptions that are hard to clear up? i think a lot of people might mistake somebody getting suspended as a troublemaker and not an anxious student, does that happen? >> anxiety is com

when justice ginsberg were asked about the anonymous comments of judge sotomayor recently she rhetorically asked -- has anyone watched i scalia or breyer on te bench? surely we've come to a time, mr. president, when we can appoint as many to the point gruff female judges as we've confirmed to the point gruff mail judges. we've come a long way, as you can see from my colleagues that came here during the last hour. we know that when sandra day o'connor graduated from law school 50 years ago, the only position she was offered was for the position at a law office as legal secretary. judge sotomayor faced similar obstacles. we have come a long way. i hope that my colleagues will also come a long way and look at record, look at the facts. as i've said, people are entitled to their own opinions, but they're not entitled to their own facts. in short, mr. president, i'm proud to support judge sotomayor's nomination, and i believe she will make an excellent supreme court justice. she knows the law, she knows the constitution. but she knows america too. thank you, mr. president, and i yield the floor

and i'm surprised because a lot of these people that voteded for ruth bader ginsberg, a lot of these people who voted for stephen breyer, a lot of these people that voted for democrats all along decided this time they were going to vote against sotomayor. >> do you think there was any one senator who was critical in reducing the number of republicans who did vote for her? >> i don't know. i would guess, pat buchanan, would you guess john mccain coming out and voting against her, which was a real surprise to me especially since mccain was one of those gang of 12 a few years back that said we weren't going to have filibusters in nominations, are you surprised that the number was that high by republicans? >> no, not too surprised, joe. i thought this was coming. it was developing. frankly, there is a new militancy among republicans in the senate. they're going to vote on philosophy and ideology just as well as the democrats are. we haven't been this strong against a justice since 1968. we blocked af appointment by lbj trying to slip in a chief justice to replace warren in those days and
