studied the history of debate about religious liberty including the idea of roger williams and john locke, and then i look how the ideas about equal respect for conscious and the burdens that imposes on government and public policy throed a constitutional tradition according to which government may not substantially burden an individual's free exercise of religion without an extremely weighty public interest. i defend those ideas as a good basis for public policy in other nations as well. a second prong of my approach, on which i'll focus tonight is the need for principle consistency and self-examination in our approach to the religiouses of other people. i note that many policy in this area lack self-examination. the basic virtue of trying to have a coherent and consistent policy across similar cases. and many are flawed as we see soon in a deeper way. a way that lies at the heard of ethics namely people act in ways that give their own group special privileges they refuse to apply the same law to all people. so we'll go on and see that. but finally, the third prong of the approach, i arg

this is days of john locke where 68% of the laws are initiated in brussels. so, yeah, you could have this regime. it wouldn't be democratic. it wouldn't be what i call in the book postdemocratic. it may, in fact, exist. they may come out with some type of europe government. it won't be based on individual rights, but on group rights, so it'll be postliberal, after liberalism. it won't be anti-democratic in the sense that russia or china or burma is today, but it'll be postdemocratic. so you could have it. it wouldn't be a demos, it wouldn't be a government based on consent or liberty, but it could exist for a while. i don't think it would exist forever. >> i'm going to abuse the privilege of the chair and ask the last question. and that is that the, your talk is very illuminating, it casts light on things that aren't often open to public inspection or at least not commonly in our politics. and what seems insidious about the global governance movement is, frankly, it is sort of this it can call elite movement -- technical elite movement which proceeds without

. >> the president's remarks came just hours after house speaker john boehner did his own version of setting the table lockinggood silver and cooking up a romneyesque scheme for more revenue without raising rates on upper income taxpayers. >> i don't want to box myself in, i don't want to box anybody else in. it's clear that there are a lot of special interests loopholes in the tax code, both corporate and personal. there are all kinds of deductions. some of which make sense, others don't, and by lowering rates and cleaning up the tax code, we know that we're going to get more economic growth. >> in other words, mitt's legacy lives on, but what about that electoral trouncing of the republican candidate just this past tuesday? >> it's clear that as a political party we've got some work to do, and i think the principles of our party are sound. but how we talk about wholt we are as a party is clearly conversations are under way and will continue. >> i see. it's not the policy, it's a just how we talk about how we talk about the gop. okay, great. let's get right to our panel in washington. msnbc political analyst

one thing that is giving folks hope, the fact that house speaker john boehner and eric cantor seem to be working more in lockhey were during the summer of 2011. if that holds, it really could help the house of representatives to get on 3w0rd of some type of idea. >> we've heard from chairman bernanke and others. how much of a factor will the fed and the ceos of all these major companies be as we get closer to this major deadline? >> one of the questions is how do people react where all these tax increase, all these spending cuts take effect. if there's no deal in the middle of december, say, do we start to see some real impacts? do companies start slowing their capital spending plans, do they start holding up on hiring. there's a risk that there could be economic damage even if there is a deal by january 1. maybe we haven't reached full agreement yet but we're close. we're almost there. i think having a sense that there's momentum and things are going the right direction is important for business confidence and getting through this without any economic downturn. >> neil, chairman bernanke has said any deal w

but at any rate, john literally put on something that locked like a -- looked like scuba diving gear on his back. i kid you not. it was that big. it was a huge backpack and had a cable running into the camera. he transmitted that back to news day and made the paper and it was noisy as hell. it was a very grainy image, very messy image. it was not anything that you would see from film. but at any rate, that is the kind of stuff that people were dealing with 25 years ago. and when digital cameras first came out, i was one of the last who wanted one. >> exactly, i remember. >> because, because, because the images were very noisy, the cameras were very heavy, they big and objetrusivobtrusive. but today you look at what we are using now, michelle has a bigger camera which is probably of a norm, but this is a digital camera here and it will make a file probably as good as that camera right there. there are some arguments back and forth whether it can, but in my opinion this would make a beautiful file. it will blow up nicely on a poster it times square. so it gives you an idea of what the

. >> i agree the beginning and end for john huntsman but also in the long term the for >> how so? >> he began to lockelf into a position of norquisting election and that played into who he was as a businessman. >> it's today's politics, like they used to say, the most segregationist guyand someone would always go to your right on that issue. >> whatever an early primary season crowd claps for furiously has happened -- >> is going to kill you in october 15th in ohio. >> i get thrilled sometimes thinking how great politics to the iowa caucus, another unique state. mitt romney ace campaign in the super pac supporting him were in a mission to anile ate competition. newt gingrich was the biggest threat. here's a romney ad destroying newt. >> you know what makes barack obama happy, newt baggage. freddie macel h caused the economic collapse but he cashed in $30,000 an hour $1.6 million, the he not only teamed pelosi on global ed a deal that gave money to a u.n. program supporting china'sone-child policy. >> there's been aot of e where ads in generalections. people have made up their mind, no ad will change

lock -- >> come on. >> do you agree? >> we're six hours away -- >> seven hours, 7 1/2 hours, but john, does that plan work? i think that they may try that. my sense is the president will probably say something this week about where he's willing to go with some of these issues, particularly including entitlements. and then i think he'll try to get a negotiation going. but i don't think to kent's point, i don't think he'll just do that one-on-one with boehner because boehner couldn't deliver in the end of the day. he got his chain yanked by eric cantor and the house conservatives. >> on that friday, yeah. come on. >> absolutely. so we disagree on that. but the fundamental issue is whether or not obama can show the leadership, to bring people together. he has not developed any trust, any relationship with the house republicans and the senate republicans let alone with most democrats. >> he's the president for the next four years. >> and he better start realizing the governance requires him to start building these relationships rather than ignoring them. >> mark, i love your plan and i think they should take it

. >> well, i do think we shouldn't listen to john mccain and we should agree to torture and torture these government officials. they locked themselves back in a room in the summer of 2011 and did nothing. we report as if this fiscal cliff were a bruce willis movie, an ast troid coming from outer space unexpectedly. this fiscal cliff was deliberately put in place. >> by these guys. >> by these people. >> on their watch. >> you hear harry reid go up there. the senate has been incapable of passing a budget for several years. >> four years. >> i'm not talking about the senate passing a budget and the house agreeing and the president sign. just that one chamber. >> you don't sound like you're hopeful they're going to get a deal done any time soon. >> i think the market is being complacent. i think there likely will be a deal before the super bowl in february. i'd say most likely. but those talks will break down before there's a deal. i'm not sure this market is prepared for a breakdown. >> christian, what about that? clearly, the market is not prepared for it because the market is hanging on every word from each side. what do

. >> john: it only takes three hours? >> they sit like lockedour hours twiddling their thumbs. the way the report was they closed the door at like 2:30 eastern, and at 5:30 or 6:00 they disconnected from the space station then they float this space for about an hour and then they fire the rockets and then glide back to earth, and they open the parachutes a couple of seconds late their lands spot is a couple of kilometers off. >> john: a very rare nighttime landing. >> yeah, in snow. it is winter there now. >> i think it's winter 11.5 months out of the year. >> john: yeah. i'm going to read more about alex parian's piece. here is what he wrote about lindsay graham. senator graham is weighing in [ inaudible ] he is joining in the filibuster threat to making sure that everyone knows he blames barack obama for the attack in benghazi, and he said he is holding barack obama responsible for the attack. not for the response to the attack, for the actual attack. no one pays at attention to lindsay graham. he is basically hated by all republicans and demo

john mccain gave you. immigration reform and abortion. yeah, you got that black vote on lock, don't you.nd look, because they want to continue tone gauge in voter suppression. now let me just put that on the table. the reason african-american people are not seen as a likely vote rich demography is because the republicans are engaged in the direct renuns yags of historic lentiling from the civil rights community that protects the value of that black vote. not only black vote but people in southern regions and older people and the like. so there's tremendous tension still afoot here and this is the big elephant in the room. obama is still a black guy and there is still a lot of resentment. i can't tell you the hate mail i get just from making comments that look like they might think that obama is a reasonable person and the hostility is so deep that i'm afraid that it's also reflected in certain elements of the political class as well. >> but one thing we don't know yet, i think, is what the republican strategy is. because last time after 2008, it was very clear they announced that they ju

get john boehner at a small group of congressman together and say whatan we work out? all we're doing is playing politics, everybody will get locked into one position or another, let's see what we can work out and then announce it is something we have agreed upon. that is the way you do it, instead you'rsteadier quebec thy politics that di't produce what we needed to have. neil: what worries me is this hope is dashed. >> they should have put together bipartisan group, all they're doing is put on defensive by the self-interest groups they are meeting with. does not make much sense. neil: they made it very clear, nothing from us. and he owes them, right? >> they got him reelected. neil: time is urgent, timto say time is wasting. >> who didn't have to completely ignore the political thank you, but if you sttrt off and have couple of meetings with the leers of the democrats in the house and the republicans in the house and in the senate, and do it on a bipartisan basis. the only way it will get done any kind of a serious way. lou: do you think republicans have given up on this notion they can cobble something together? >> i don't kn t

lock and key until the election was over? here to talk about this and the abrupt resignation of general director david petraeus. john bolton and jack keen. gentlemen, thank you both very much for being here this evening. general, let me start with you in this tragic and surprising news about general petraeus and his abrupt resignation. what is your sense of the implications for the nation and the really tragic end to what has been a stellar military career? >> just let me say on a personal note, liz, i know dave petraeus very well and his family. it is such a sense of loss and sympathy for the amount of pain that they are in. i love this family and him as well. it's a personal loss for me. but it's also a loss for the country. this is the most accomplished general officer in generation, comparable to the legends of world war ii. he didn't fight a war as big as they did. but we were definitely losing -- most people don't understand how tremendous it was that he began to turn the war around in afghanistan as well. no general officer has been offered two wars to turn around except macarthur, and he failed miserably in

locked up in litigation. in other words, barack obama's win, if it were to the terrace would be beyond the margin half. which means much like kind -- johnerry realized a years ago when he stood a chance of winning ohio. even though we trailed in the popular vote by 3 million votes, had he won no i/o he would have become president kerry. about 118,000 votes. the feeling was some of those would be more than enough to offset that. he could sue, keep it up in litigation. it turned out that the controversy will balance totaled 50, 60,000. not enough. he never did soup. he never did protest. he never did win. that was then. this is now. ♪ neil: all right. we have another race to share, arizona. all of these are coming in exactly as expected, which favors the president because electorally that would put him on route to pass 270 votes. it's a little too early to say that. i want to stress that. arizona, mitt romney picks up that state's 11 electoral votes placing him at this point at 174 electoral votes to the president's 163. remember, at the top of the hour 82 electoral votes for states that include california. fifty-five electoral votes. haw
