so i inquired of jennifer, is there a particular approach you would like me to take?she responded, well, what role has the court played an appointment? has it been a bystander or an active participant? for a moment my professional life flashed before my eyes in a near-career-death experience. i had been invited to give a talk at the u.s. supreme court with the chief justice and perhaps other important dignitaries in the audience, and i had been given a trick question. the founders had not assigned a role for the court and the appointment of its own members. what a short talk this would be. unfortunately, i did find things i could talk about this evening. as i poodered the question, i reflecttd on the history of the supreme court nominations. members of the high tribunal instances. the most direct impact that sitting justices have had on nominations has occurred when the suggested nominees to the president, when they suggested them or supported candidates for the court once chosen by the president. now i will refer you to what i am calling your scorecard this is your t

i inquired of jennifer, is there a particular approach would like -pme to take? she responded rather regal the, what role has the court played in appointments? has it been a bystander or an active participant? for a moment, much potential -- my professional life flashed before my eyes. i had been invited to give a talk at the u.s. supreme court with the chief justice and other important dignitaries and i had been given a trick question. the founders had not assigned a role for the court in the appointment of its own members. unfortunately for you, i felt someehing like to talk about this evening. i pondered jennifer's question and recalled instances when members of the high tribunal had played a part in the selection of the individuals to occupy its bench. sitting justices have suggested nominees for have supported nominees for the court supported by the president. i am going to report you to your scorecard. this is a table i have handedd out. it includes historical examples of sitting justices supporting judicial nominees from 1853 to 1974. as best i can determi

jennifer, thank you for the call. joe responding to the twitter comment united we stand, divided we fall. joe said that's the problem. we don't agree on anything. on the republican line, good morning, kathy. caller: yes. i was calling about this war zone that the republicans and democrats have. it's rid clubhouse, because they are not the ones that are suffering. it's the people on main street. the unemployed not being able to get their benefits. not knowing if you're going to have the money to pay your power bill or get gas to go to an interview. these guys need to stop paying drains and focus on what's best for the people of the united states of america. that's what it's all about. >> and i've voted -- they don't stop arguing about being nitpicky with the democrats about what the people need. it has nothing to do with want. it's need. i will not vote republican again. host: let me go back to this editorial rl because they point out one way to end the partisanship is to take a look at congressional redistricting. the

attest, for example, that the success of the surge in iraq would not have been possible without jennifer- without general mcchrystal's on exceptional leadership of the forces there. similarly, the joint operations command and is the unprecedented tenured command of j. stock was extraordinary as well. during that time, he brought impressive vision, energy and expertise to the effort there. he made a huge contribution to the reorientation of hours strategy and was a central figure in our efforts to get the inputs right in afghanistan, to build the organization said, needed to carry out a comprehensive counterinsurgency campaign, to get the rights leaders in charge of those orders -- organizations to develop plans and to deploy the resources necessary to devote the implementation of those plans and concepts. we now see some areas of progress and its -- amidst the tough fight on going in afghanistan. the considerable credit for that must go to stan mcchrystal. as we take stock in f -- as we take stock in that, it is important to remember why we are there. the initial training of the attacker

would point out that barbara mikulski and geraldine ferraro and mario cuomo and michael dukakis and jennifer lopez and raquel welch and kirk douglas, all speak english. i think we are willing to stipulate that. when their parents and grandparrnts were brought here, they faced a long hard slog -ptoward gaining enough englisho get by. the networks that helped them 100 years ago did not transfer well to a 2010. hometown societies, the private voluntary agencies language schools, the armies of wellborn, well educated women who moved like an army and the lower east side and to humboldt park in chicago and neighborhoods in philadelphia. those were the only jobs that educated women could get in those days. those kind of aids are a little harder to find today. the predominance of latinos among immigrants from everywhere provides a special challenge for our school system. social service agencies, law enforcement, and stable longitudinal status of neighborhoods in metropolitan areas. latino immigration to the united states has been high during an era of great hundred indian -- the american markets. ag

in our last hour, we talked to jennifer who turned to twitter after the call in on the air.hter] laguna, calif., getting up early is next. guest:keynesian economics has never worked in terms of 3=x. riú&going back to fdr and his nw deal, the average unemployment rate during that time from 1933- 1940 was 17% despite the most vigorous application of keynesian economics. the most successful example was warren harding and the depression of 1920 which is not part of the debate. the decline in national income was almost the same, not quite, as the great depression. in terms of national income. unemployment rose quite a bit, too. warren hiding slashed$,6 govert spending almost in half and slashed taxes. and the result was the roaring '20s when unemployment got down to 1.5%. my question is, how well as the national press done its job in terms of educating the american public, in terms of the efficacy of the two different approaches, the libertarian approach that warren harding used versus the keynesian approach of fdr. ? guest: most of the press have a keyneeian view of the world w
