kennedy sayd, " -- kennedy said, "what? anyone could run a country like that." other countries have different systems. i got my law clerks to go through every case decided by the supreme court, and there were a lot. i read quite a few of them. you go back to john marshall and you discover -- you look at the provision in the treaty that you're talking about. if that treaty provision is something that concerns courts, it is the kind of thing that judges could administer. which property goes where? then, you do not need a separate law. it is called self-executing. it is something that john marshall says is addressed to the political branches, such as war and peace, making peace, taking the marines out of nicaragua -- that is addressed to the political branches. it is not self-executing. it is up to the political branch. i did a lot of work on that. i proust -- perused the appendices. i thought that should be the rule. the minister comes home from sunday and says to his wife, i preached a great sermon. she says, really? he said, it was fabulous. she asks what it was

adam kennedy, being heads up, is there. this year, the difference is common sense fundamental defense. everybody's thinking. the only way you play that way. there's a reaction from atilano, making his first big- league start. it's thinking ahead of the play. where do i go with this ball if it's hit it me? you and i both noticed they've been playing great defense lately. they're still out there doing infield and drills and rundowns and everything. jim riggleman is on top of this club. he's doing a great job. >> bob: there was definite defensive practice on the field at about 4:15 this afternoon. because i have my partner's permission, i will now tell you the nationals have a five-game errorless game streak. pudge rodriguez is up. he's making great contact. he has struck out three times in 49 at-bats. >> rob: i'm comfortable with you talking about the defense because it's no longer shocking. this is what you're supposed to do at a major league level. that's why they're getting it done out there. there will be fewer mental mis

and kennedy said what? he said he we you just decide in your government what it's going to be and to give it to them and they pass it? he says yes. he said my god. isn't anybody could run a country like that. [laughter] >> so, but that you see, that's england. that's england with a pretty thing but other countries have different systems. and what i did was i was indecent of the. i thought it was pretty hard that i went through, i got a law clerks to go through every case and decided in the supreme court that, and i read quite a few of them. but to go back to john marshall, and you discover, at least in my view that it was, that you look at a provision in the treaty, that you're talking about, and if that treaty provision is something that concerns courts come is the kind of thing that judges could administer, the standards that there used to this kind of thing, which property goes where, then you don't need a separate law. that is called self executing. but if it is something that john marshall says, as add

and joe kennedy. what do you think the world would look like today if that pack of american london managed to convince people back home much earlier that hitler was an batremely bad guy who had to be stopped and u.s. armed forces had joined britain at the outset? queshat is a great what if question. i am not sure. it just wasn't in the cards that that was going to happen. th te book is a behind-the-scenes look at the partnership between the u.s. and great britain during world war ii with these three americans as the main characters. re reason i am writing about them is they were really keep players in the debate in 1940-1941 whether britain should be saved. britain at that time was the last country in europe holding out against hitler. desperately in need of american aid and close to the seat. was hanging on by the skin of their teeth at that time. they needed american aid but rlerican aid was incredibly skimpy. that was true until pearl harbor and 1942. these three americans and there were others bas

presidential debate between kennedy and nixon. tonight here in manchester in northern england, for the first time in a british general election, the leaders of the three main political parties debated live on british television. gordon brown took on david cameron, the leader of the conservative party who is ahead in the polls. the big surprise in manchester tonight was the performance of nick cleg, the leader of the third party, the liberal democrat. awe the instant polls suggested that cleg, outsider in the race, no chance of becoming prime minister of the u.k. was the winner of the first debate. there are two more still to come. the questions range from the sleaze and scandal in parliament, immigration, but the biggest clash was on the economy. >> gordon brown is trying to make you believe he can protect health spending and education and police spending. he can't do any of these things, because he has given this country the biggest budget deficit of any developed country in the world. >> to be honest, you cannot afford to take m

kennedy, in his thousand days it was 19 times a month. clinton in his first time was 28 times a month. and i haven't seen any numbers for clinton's second term, w. bush or obama. you have to believe that time keeps going up. >> linda, we've been talking about interesting, but off the news things in a way. what's going on internationally? we say the president's chances are looking up domestically, or in some sort of rise. international, doesn't look so pretty does it? >> i think depends really where you look. afghanistan is still so problematic. there are some signs that things are happening there that are very sures. the afghan parliament turns out to be one of the major challenges in challenging its president, president karzai. there's a life in the parliament that says we're sick of the corruption. we want a voice. we want the people to be heard. we don't want the president to have the kind of power he has without listening to us. there are about 30 members of the parliament who have been very, very vocal. i think that breaks in our way

hutchison: madam president, later today, president obama will travel to the kennedy space center in florida. he will visit with employees and officials there and deliver a speech on his vision for nasa. we have begun to learn the details about some of what the president may be announcing, with you -- but so far, nothing has been suggested that alleviates the concerns that i expressed on the floor earlier this week. in fact, i am growing more concerned. i have serious questions about the administration's proposed vision. for example, the president is proposing to rely on a commercial space launch industry that is still in its infancy. once the space shuttle is retired, a commercial vehicle would be the only american human space flight capability for the foreseeable future. further, we are about to complete the international space station and begin the period of

[laughter] >> and it meant a lot to the families there at the sago that senators kennedy and i would just say in particular senator isakson and center in the were there, because they had not been to west virginia before, in particular that not been to a mine disaster before. and they moved in with those families and talk with them, and, oh, for a period of quite a long period they were part and parcel. and they became a part in parcel of the legislation that we passed. it would not have passed had it not been for senator isakson and senator enzi and the perseverance that it was as if they became west virginians. so we vow to improve safety in the minds, and we passed the minors act, which we thought was pretty good. we were reacting to what we have seen at sago. and it was a good piece of legislation that didn't prove safety. particular with risk back to a response teams and actually the only piece of federal legislation in the previous 30 years which says something probably not very good. but, frankly, that legislation was not enough. first and foremost, safety is about a company do

and later, stevens won support from justices anthony kennedy and the now-retired sandra day o'connor-- the court's swing voters-- to rein in key bush administration policies. in 2006, he wrote the majority opinion in "hamdan v. rumsfeld," holding that using military commissions to try terror suspects at guantanamo bay was unconstitutional. stevens was asked in 2007 what his legacy might be. >> i suppose on the basis of the opinions i've written. there's an awful lot of them. they'll have to pick and choose between them. but you leave... you leave your record on what you've had to say over the years. >> woodruff: today's resignation now gives president obama his second high-court nomination. the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, democrat patrick leahy, appealed today for civility in the coming confirmation fight. he said, "i hope both sides of the aisle will make this process a thoughtful and civil discourse." senate republican leader mitch mcconnell said, "americans can expect senate republicans to make a sustained and vigorous case for judicial restraint." confirmation hear

chris: she was tough to charm, but you can see the kennedy magic there. most presidents have used those big press conferences to their advantage, why hasn't obama done one in the last nine months? we're going to ask these reporters, if this white house is reluctant to put the president in the east room at prime time? we will be right back. chris: it was back on july 22 of last year, when president obama held his last prime-time press conference. he went off message by talking about the harvard professor. >> the cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there wea alrasdy proof that they were in their own home. chris: it's getting on a year since we have seen the president in prime time. why doesn't he use the bully pulpit, road block all the networks? why does he nt he do it? >> with all past administrations and past presidents, we have seen huge blocks of time without -- chris: a year? >> another thing, though, that last press conference was terrible. we all remember it for the gates' incident. he was getting a lot of criticism at the tim

stevens felt that in some opinions in the sense that he rendered and he's been able to get justice kennedy to go along with some of those. so, my view would be, i would like the new nominee to be one of five, not one of four when the votes come up, and somebody who would be quite persuasive in terms of influencing other justices, particularly justice kennedy, to his her pnt of view. and that would matter to me more than any particular ideology. >> senator kyl. almost the reverse question for you when it comes to the filibuster. throughout the bush years, you repeatedly spoke against democrats with regards to the filibuster. in 2008 you said this. it's been undertoday by both parties that you do not play politics while it comes to confirming judges, because while you may be able to stop them this time they might stop yours this time. besidewhich it's not good often. it's not doing the people's business. the president was elected fair and square. he has the right to submit judicial nominees and senate's position to act on those nominees. are you willing to take fill buster off the table? >>

kennedy, the junior senator in the middle of writing his book "profiles in courage." he became chairman of the committee but the other senators were much more senior than he. they brought in a group of 160 academics, including harry truman, to send in a less. and i think the list had about 68 major senators. they could always a light five. that finally did boil it down to henry clay, daniel webster, john c. telcalhoun -- no-brainers. but there were two slots for the toy center. the great progressive republican from nebraska, father of the tva another progress of legislation, that the first vote from the outside panel. but the nebraska senators decided that they were not going to let him brace holes, so they agreed that this would be unanimous. so they said -- they selected a senator from wisconsin, another progress of senator, and then robert taft of ohio, who had been the republican leader for a very short period of time. and that was set. and then in 1999, trent lott looked around and saw some other interspaces. -- empty spaces. so we in the senate office -- senate

guy, isn't he, anthony kennedy. you never know where he's going. >> people said the same thing about john paul stevens in his first decade oro son the supreme court. >> what about the possibility of picking someone not from the court. we heard about jennifer granholm and we think about janet napolitano. would this president be shocking if he said, you know, have enough judges on the bench, let's pick earl wearen, people from the past who didn't spend their life on the court. >> not shocking at all. other justices have said it's valuable to have people who have elected experience. but if you're going to put that list together, you have to add elena keegan. she's never run for office, but has not been a judge either. >> i want to enjoy some of the politics because there are people with immense illegal ability. hillary clinton is out there. she's possible, anything is possible. one question is, do they want the job? is this a desirable job? >> it's an isolating job to some extent. the only people they can really talk t

danny ioye, george mitchell, robert see byrd, tom harkin, and the disability work they had done, ted kennedy on voting rights. on the other side of the aisle as well as his own colleagues, there was an acknowledgement of change that would occur with his departure. >> what did you feel that day? >> for me, i would say it was shock, because i felt it more as a kansan. it was a palpable sense of loss for our state. i have learned enough by then that to know that, either the leverage, the power, the seniority that senator dole had brought to the congress in representing our state was so significant and probably would never be replicated. from that perspective, as a campaign operative, i frankly, was happy on one hand because i knew it would be easier to concentrate and focus on the general election that we were facing, which was an uphill battle to start with, but more is somebody from home, i felt a sense of loss of the representation that he had built up for our state over the years. one other thing i want to add in retrospect, it struck me that the example he set, not only stepping down as ma
