we will listen to greg from new york city. caller: i love the debate we're having here. mr. solomon, i love your intentions and intelligence. mr. tapscott, i find you are skirting any solid question with any value towards the american public. i have three questions for you. first, the beginning of the u.s. when the boat came over and basically was welcomed by the natives of there in new england. and talked how to live on this land. yet the result of that kind this was turned back them with murder and mayhem. the country moves toward. you brought up barry goldwater and want brown points for the civil-rights movement. the white democrats did not want to pass it down south. we wanted to do it.

greg piper is with the washington internet daily. and he also is joining us on the communicators this week. just to wrap up this topic of i.p. theft and piracy, just want to read something from "public knowledge" and get your response. this is from art brosoadski writing from "public knowledge.org." >> we know that big media is a source of big money for democrats. we know that biden as a member of the senate judiciary committee was favorably disposed to the creative community as many legislators are. even so, to have three cabinet officers, agency head, studio heads, big media lobbyists representing companies which think fair use is theft and companies which want the internet service providers to spy on -- all in one room, not to mention nbc's chief lobbyist and the attorney general who might have to review a little deal nbc has cooking with comcast. >> well, first of all, if i was them i would never do a release attacking the vice-president of the united states and the entire cabinet of the united states. i would say you're not goin

. >> host: greg piper is the associate managing editor of the washington internet daily, he joins in the questioning. >> host: you don't have dirt in your name. >> guest: i do not have dirt. speaking of internet piracy which is now a very big focus of the motion picture industry, this is one of the more controversial provisions of the anticounterfeiting trade agreement being negotiated privately which has a lot of people worried about what provisions are going to come out of it. and one of the criticisms is it may go beyond u.s. law as far as secondary liability, what an internet service provider could be liable for them if they don't try to halt piracy on their networks, and there have been a lot of criticisms of other countries, what may happen to their legal regimes, let's say europe and canada. will this go beyond all these laws in these different countries, and will this happen outside of congressional purview? >> guest: well, in the first place the negotiating of the anticounterfeit trade agreement is perfectly consistent with what our government has done in the past. these typ

host: greg stohr with us until 8:30. all this week on c-span, we're breg you interviews with supreme court justices, part of our documentary at 8:00 eastern and midnight eastern all this week. and justice sotomayor will be later in the week. i wanted to ask you, from your observations so far, what do you make of her? guest: she is a very active justice. she's very engaged. she asks as many questions as anybody up there. with any justice, you're going to have a learning curve. she does not seem to be at all inhibited. you know, gets right in there. it's a little early to say for certain how she's going to come out from a philosophical standpoint, but so far the signs you see from questioning makes it seem like she'll fit in the liberal or liberal to moderate camp of the court. host: have you seen any opinions yet? guest: there was one written opinion. the word was workmanlike. it was not an especially interesting case. usually the first opinion they'll have a relatively noncontroversial opinion. hers was unanimous. you kn

we agree with that. >> dan glickman and greg piper are joining us on the communicators this week. just to wrap up the topic, i want to read something. this is from art on the web site public knowledge organization. this goes back to the meeting that was just held with vice president biden. we know that big media is a source of big money. we know that biden as a member of the senate judiciary committee has disposed as many legislators are. even so, agencies heads, big media lobbyist, representing companies which think fair use is theft. and companies that want the providers to spy on you, all in one room. not to mention the chief lobbyist and attorney general who might have to review a little deal nbc has cooking with comcast? >> first of all, if i were them, i would never do a release of the entire cabinet of the united states. we're not going to win very many friends by taking on the chief people who run our government. i would say if they wanted to call me. the fact of the matter is there is an important issue. the movie industry alone employs the people. this is a time when our

joe from baltimore for greg stohr. good morning. go ahead. caller: yeah, i'd like to talk about immigration t. has to do with the supreme court justice version. i think that the way you could, you know, not the immigration, but the people coming in, i think a good way to stop them is if you put about 5,000 marines down at the border a half a mile part from each other with machine guns, you'll stop everything that u need to stop. host: well, the court doesn't have any immigration cases, but they do have a case coming up on guantanamo do, they not? guest: they do have a case on guantanamo that actually touches on the immigration laws. the question there is whether inmates who have been there for seven years or so, whether in the case of some who have been cleared for release, who everybody agrees are not dangerous, whether they can be released into the united states. this is a case of a number of uighurs, muslims from an area in china who say that if they get sent back to china, they would be tortured there. so far the united states has not bee

officer greg richards served eight years in law enforcement. he began with the kent police department before going to lakewood. he's survived by his wife and three children. it is very appropriate that congress makes clear to the families and to all members of the law enforcement community that we stand with them in grieving their loss and honoring their service. and it is also important that we remember as often as possible what our law enforcement personnel do for us. i had the opportunity to serve as a prosecutor for a few years and work with many of the members of our law enforcement community. and what a lot of people forget is the constant danger that they are in and the courage that it takes to do their job every day. . every second of every day people who serve as police officers know the risk and danger that they are taking. and the impressive thing is, they take it. every single day. and they do it to protect us, to give us a sense of safety and security in our community, despite the danger that they face. and the tragedy in lakewood

first, greg barack obama from your standard. >> overall? i would give him a strong beat. i believe he is sincere -- i would give him a strong b. he has a very difficult job with the international part of that because he is trying to undo some of the problems that were created by the previous administration. i support what he is trying to do. i think he is doing as well as he can. nobody is perfect. >> you say that you agree with eric holder's comment when it comes to race. >> yes. in that particular column, i am saying that ereck holder's comments -- deny >> let me just say a couple of things. i think that the only time we really talk as a nation about race is when there is a crisis of some sort. when a police officer arrested professor. or when rodney king is beaten by cops. when susan smith says that some black man took her car and kids and we later find out that that was not the case. they are only discussions when they are crises. i think that is the wrong time to get the ball rolling. for eric holder to make those comments was a wake-u

next is greg on the republican line.ler: i am a republican, but i switched to obama because he said a change. but we are getting no change. we are getting continuous wars. he gave all this money to bernanke and his friends. i think mr. paul could get 40%. i think there are enough people are fed up in this country that it is time for him to run and he would get elected. host: there are two pieces i will share with you about ben bernanke and the fed. stephen ratner is the counselor to the treasury secretary and lead auto adviser. he was involved with the auto bailout program. the headline on this piece is "be fair to the bernanke." all of the lenders should have been responsive to the irresponsible lending practices. a different view from the lead editorial in the wall "wall open phones, atlanta, democrats line. caller: i wanted to talk to the last guess you had on. host: you will have to do it rhetorically, because he is gone now. caller: i know, but what troubles me is that we have people like him that come on -- i do no

for greg stohr. guest: it is probably the same case. i have been waiting for this decision to be made this term, and i haven't heard anything about it. the corporation still have as much of a voice as individual citizens. guest: of this case would ease sensually give them -- this case would be essentially give them the same ability of individual citizens to spend money as long as they are not coordinating this spending. it there still would be restrictions if they were donating to a campaign or coordinating advertisements to a campaign, it would essentially say that like, as with individuals, you can spend what money you want to advocate for or against a candidate. host: a couple of twitter comments. that term is being used by a couple of viewers. is that a legal term? guest: it is largely excepted across the law that a corporation does have rights just like an individual. it has first amendment rights, in this case, it has other rights. one other note in the case, during the argument, justice sotomayor's first argument, she questioned

next up is greg, an independent caller.: i am in favor of the health care, more less hold out for the hr 676 by dennis kucinich, but i'm hoping that between the congress and representatives, and senate, they might actually come up with something at least with the public option. regarding the republicans, to borrow a line from a popular disney movie, i would like to say that their perspective on things is "take what you can and give nothing back." host: thanks to greg from pennsylvania. the lead editorial, lead outlook opinion piece in a "the wall street journal" -- change nobody believes in. they write that the rest, a secretive way this destructive and unpopular bill is being forced on the country shows that reform has devolved into the raw exercise of political power for the single purpose of permanently extending the american entitlement state. ted, on the democrats' line from new york city. caller: you do a great job, c- span. the republicans at this time are nothing but benedict arnolds. not one vote from them. when we

some of whom did so after being greg cit -- granted access to the institutions he referred to. i believe that history is what it is. i cannot believe i just used that phrase. our history is irrefutable. we did do internment camps. we did do this institution of slavery. we have created separate systems, one that left african- americans holding the short end of the stick. it is difficult to quibble with that. we have come very far as a country. but at the same time, we cannot ignore the lessons of our history. >> he goes on to say -- >> you know how incendiary that was. they ran the clips. >> right, right. what is interesting about that, and we are not in church. we are not in the context in which that was said. as you know, preachers are also entertainers. i think, and i do not know this to be true, but i think that a number of pastors around the country that have said incendiary things in their pulpits to make a point. i think that is what he tried to do there. >> did he say anything wrong? >> let's go back through it again. >> government bills bigger prisons and they want us t
