keith on the democrats' line. caller: we as democrats need to create a movement behind the president and the democratic party. just like back in the 1960's under president johnson, he said, make me do it. the way we made him do it is we had martin luther king, we have the civil rights movement, to get the civil rights act and the voting rights act. we need to do this. we need to stop talking about it. this is a good program, c-span, but at the end of the day we need to get out on the street and we need to mobilize and do what we need to do. host: 1 event that may happen today, also could have a big effect on elections this year. robert barnes from "the washington post" who writes about the supreme court is here to talk about it. so -- since september, when the case was re-argued, citizens united, an interesting and out of the ordinary event, people have been wondering when the decision will happen. now we learned yesterday to that there may also be an unusual event. guest: the court has scheduled and unscheduled d
