the attorney general jim hood who had said hang on a second. let's challenge these pardons may or may not be constitutional. that is all thrown out. >> thrown out. the challenge that the attorney general went after was the clause notice law that says for the governor of mississippi to issue a pardon, there had to have been a 30-day notice put out in newspapers and publications prior to the pardons. in the vast majority of these, there was not the requirement met. supreme court is essentially saying it is not their position to go in there and on this face as it says here a valid pardon, that it is not -- it is not the judicial branch's authority to go in there and set aside or void these pardons, that it is not the judicial branch's -- so there's a lot of legalese going on here. but six of the justices saying that they don't have the power, the authority to go back and change governor barbour's decision. >> looking at you, i'm reminded of when you chased down governor haley barbour, trying to get a comment. what did he ultimately say, anything?
