let's start talking about john marshall. he was on the u.s. supreme court. he was also a trial judge, was he not? >> that's something i realized for the first time in writing this book and it's something i don't think that most laymen and lawyers realize even today. john marshall was appointed the fourth chief justice in 1801. and he died in 1835. he was chief justice of the united states for those 34 years. and as i say was probably the individual who in the history of the land probably had the most dramatic impact on the sheet and power of our federal government today. if thomas jefferson had have appointed a justice of the united states, we would be looking at a very different government today, three different federal government. but at the same time the thing people don't realize is the entire time john marshall sat on the supreme court as the chief justice, he also looked at a trial judge in the eastern district, what would have been the circuit court for the eastern district of virginia. it was named the circuit court because every supreme court justic

john is not only a lawyer, he's also an historian and a published author and the book's "from marshall to moussaoui" the history of our court. i'm sure you'll find it exciting exciting. it's rich in history and have a lot of intrigue to it and it's a darn good read. john tell us first knowing other people couldn't handle this project why did you decide to take on this herculean task wax left go you were just a glutton for punishment were you? >> it was no punishment at all. it's fair to say that i jumped at the opportunity to work on this project and i did it for a reason for the reason that any writer would want to do this book. very simply put it's a great story and that's what any writer looks for is a great story. if you are working with something of that nature is both an honor and not only a challenge but an honor to be able to deal with a history like this. so it was a fairly enjoyable experience. >> now for those out here that enjoyed researching history tell us about how you got a handle on this huge volume of material in such a short period of time? >> most of the books that

in the dissenting opinion of justice john marshall high lincoln these our constitution is colorblindno color and distinctions among citizens. that is a paraphrasing of tourgee's argument to him in his brief. civil rights activist in the '50s looked back to that brief, the dissent in the plessy case as one of the documents when they challenged the legality of the segregation. and the supreme court in brown v. board of education, they look back to that as well. that case explicitly says the decision in plessy was wrong and must be overturned. and very few times in american history that one supreme court will look back and say a previous supreme court decision was outright wrong. at the end of his life he said all i have done has been a waste, it's all you know, been for nothing. we are in the worst place we've ever been. much worse than under slavery. so he felt the world was heading in a terrible direction instead of more equality and people being judged not on things like the color of their skin, the society was becoming more based on those things. so yeah personally i can see the lo

going back to john marshall justice marshall, the congressman is wrong about the congressional role institutional. that is the supreme court role, which is where it's headed perhaps. secondly, i was dying to ask him as a former governor what would he do if the south carolina legislature passed him something like this and trying to make him sign something that he strongly didn't believe in. >> i can answer that for you. he would veto it. >> exactly. >> mark was hated by republicans in south carolina because he veto'd more big spending bills than any governor in the state -- >> yeah. >> veto it in a second. >> we can all have our opinion about whether this is constitutional or not and i suspect it is. the president has a lot of smart lawyers around him. it's not the role -- this is a power play. this has nothing to do about whether this is constitutional. that's all inside the congress dome bs sculpted by spin meisters for us. >> right. >> what this is really about is power, and you are absolutely right. you hit the nail on the head. you cannot pick a fight with the chief executive if yo

marshall did. he enjoyed a good card game, his bourbon. justice john paul stevens: he had an army of stories that he would tell. partly because he'd had so much experience himself. he was really a profoundly gifted raconteur. narrator: the murray case made marshall a rising star in the naacp, but his preoccupation with civil rights left him with a failing law practice inhis tiny baltimore office - cluttered with unpaid bills. when he wrote houston for help, houston asked him to come to new york to work a temporary assignment in the national naacp office. and in october of 1936, thurgood and buster left his crowded family home in baltimore for new york city. when thurgood and buster first arrived in new york, they stayed with relatives until they found a small apartment in harlem. they would now be alone and on their own for the very first time. inan office across town the naacp was still basking in the glow of their first victory integrating the university of maryland law school - which energized houston's education strategy and gave it momentum. marsh
