kathleen haljamieson mentioned some studies. i think those studies between speech and action are extremely murky. it's worth pointing out at a time when political speech has gotten much more violent political assassinations have not increased. at a time when video games have gotten much more violent, crime rates have come down. movies as well. the relationship between speech and media and actual action is extremely murky and correlation is not cautionation. we shouldn't make that link very easily. finally in this case in this heightened atmosphere a lot of the coverage i saw after the killing tried to take the killing and to beat over the head certain people. i have no great love for sarah palin. i have no great love for the tea party movement or the anti-immigration movement. but to say that their speech was somehow responsible or created or contributed to the killing of those people, including a nine-year-old girl, to me that was not only irrelevant that was irresponsible. that is what i saw all weekend. >> lehrer: kathleen, i

. >> our guest is kathleen sebelius, health and human services secretary. we're discussing repealing the health bill signed into legislation last year. there is a new poll al that says 75% of the american public wants the health care law changed. 38%, down from 52% say they want to repeal it. would the administration be able to look at changes to the health care law as proposed by the house and passed by the senate? >> we have said from the outset that there were a number of good ideas that could not be included in the bill because of the procedure on the senate side that had some very strict budget rules, the reconciliation procedure. we know that there are things that need -- the 1099 reporting which could be a burden to small business and performance has been proposed. we are eager to work here with congress to change that feature. can that bill be improved? i think about medicare when my dad was in congress. he served on the congress committee and helped to write the medicare law. medicare today looks very little like it did when he served. he will be 9

kathleen? >> sure.ll, not constitutional constraint. what congress might do. and perhaps the events of the most recent election and the patterns of imdumb si and i would like to disagree with my friend john on the scope of that clause. i think, you know, in trying to route the argument in the original constitution, rather than the living constitution, we don't want to overread the commander in chief clause. it's often misstated the president shall have the power of commander and chief. all it says is the president shall be the commander and chief. he's commander and chief is an agent of the congress. he wanted to make sure somebody was in charge. i don't think we should overread the commander in chief clause. this would be my second chance to the conception of the battlefield that encompasses not just determining and time, an indefinite war into the future. but determining and space, no geographical and spatial boundaries. if you want to have a perception of the commander in chief, if it's laws of war,

i'm trying to get a sense for the panel, especially beginning with rebeca and kathleen as to how theess in the near term. we had a question from the audience that the small business formation, particularly with so many people over 45 losing their jobs is very dependent on health insurance. why not scrap the employer-based system altogether for a completely portable system? now, that's water under the bridge. but i'm wondering, having passed the big health care bill, what do you think it's going to make a better or worse for small business? >> that such a huge question. i think as with a lot of regulation, there's a lot of unknowns. i think it my business i'm still trying to figure out for my health insurance but the impact to be. we went through health insurance bills. there's a lot of questions. it has one more sane for small businesses are having to small out. something needed to happen, so i agree.
