the kennedy/scalia divide it goes very far back with protest votes. kennedy, the first amendment romantic, sees expressive dimensions to it. it gets the court tangled up. here i think scully it is -- scalia is being consistent. but i do not think the rest of the court has figured it out, these controversies over disclosing people who give money to initiatives. there was a recent case involving sun in the referendum, -- just signing a referendum whether that was a public act that could be disclosed or something more like a boat that had to be kept quiet. on the way to the court right now is the case involving prop. 8. people who give money on the same-sex marriage question in california were confronted by gay-rights advocates for what they did. some of their stores have been boycotted. people have been fired on these grounds. the question is what are you doing when you are giving money to prop 8. are you a legislature because it is your vote and is a powerful moment, it is an exercise of power? or is it something more private and expressive? the court

kennedy had no problem moving those missiles. in fact, he told the pentagon to get the missiles out of turkey before the cuban men to the missile crisis. he understood full well that you could not tell the american public and he cannot tell your fat that he had agreed to a deal worry ticked jupiter missiles out of turkey. he told khrushchev that he could say nothing about the deal. if anyone in the american media suspected the deal and as to whether there was a deal he would have to live. the media quickly picked up the possibility there was a deal and as kennedy and is the sense about that . given the gravity of this situation at the time it was imperative that he bring it to an end. he felt the only way he to do it was by telling a lie. >> host: did fdr like to get this into world war ii? >> guest: he lied to try to get us into world war two. there was unable and since involving the u.s. as a career which was unable -- a u.s. navy surface ship. it was involved in operation involving a british aircraft. roosevelt told a serie

(paulson) and you were with rosemary clooney as well? well, she was-- i met her that night, and she was performing that night as artists-- she was one of those who had campaigned for robert kennedy. a lot of artists went out on the campaign trail for candidates, and i was with her that night. and actually, at the moment that senator kennedy was shot, i remember that it was the last time i've seen her, which was 32 years ago. she was supposed to sing at the overflow room downstairs, and the senator was supposed to exit one side of the stage where-- to see rosemary clooney, and at the last minute-- you can hear it on the tape. someone says, "this way, senator." and he goes the other way. what happened that night was obviously, for a kid-- i remember seeing people in shock, and i--you know, when you're 12, you've never seen that. i didn't understand why adults were crying, and people were doubled over and, you kn

our reporter joins us from kennedy space center.ys jealous when you get assignments like this, you know? what is endeavor's legacy? >> reporter: well, you know, i think that there are a couple things here, certainly like all of the other orbiters, discovery and atlantis, the legacy of the shuttle "endeavour" and all three of them is they were the most complex vehicles ever built by humans. and, you know, that complexity was also the achilles heel so many times. there were delays and problems because it was such a complex vehicle. but, yet, the other hand of the legacy is you couldn't have built a space station without them and you certainly could not have serviced or put the hubble space telescope into orbit without them and any of the other numbers of satellites that were launched using the space shuttle. >> those were the good old days for the shuttle "endeavour." what will happen to it now, john? >> well, you know, the good old days may be in front of it yet because shuttle "endeavour" is going to have a peaceful, restful relaxat

kennedy has an 85% -- george w. bush. kennedy has an 85% approval rating. came in at the bottom. ford, carter, the first bush -- they all came out ahead johnson. it is all because of a vietnam and the things that johnson did, the great society, civil rights, voting rights, medicare -- it has all been eclipsed and still has been by this vietnam disaster. host: the author was on this program in 2009. he talked about that experience. let's listen. >> when i put out those documents, they were mainly pentagon papers president nixon tried to stop it are the first injunctions in our history. he was doing now because -- doing that now because he did not like it, but he was afraid that i had good information on his own nuclear threats, his threats of escalation, which he had yet to carry out. by revealing them, i would block him from doing that, because the public might not thought it was a good idea -- think it was a good idea to start a nuclear war. he had to shut me up. i was dangerous to him not because of the pentagon papers, in fact, but because of these other

kennedy, i will confuse the life out of you when i tell you i have a son named john kennedy. but anyway, you know, i really liked kennedy in so many ways. but the historians who are biased toward him have tried to argue that eisenhower really had set this up, and kennedy just carried it out. i am convinced, and one scholar i know who's seen the documents that i haven't seen is convinced, that eisenhower would have never done it the way that kennedy did. he withdrew the air support, and even the plan with the air support just didn't look like an eisenhower kind of intervention. eisenhower would have done more what he did in lebanon in 1958 when he landed 14,000 troops. i mean, he really believed in overwhelming force, and you do it. now, he was open to covert action, and we know that in guatemala and iran. so he was not an angel when it came to covert action. but the cuban invasion is a strange phenomenon. you know, the cia, if you knew today what contingency plans the cia has, you'd be horrified. so these contingency plans were around. and so when the new president came in as

randall pinkston is at the kennedy space center with more. randall, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, terrell. yes, indeed, the shuttle is indeed here on earth, it landed here on time and without any problems here at the kennedy space center. with the landing it is "endeavour's" final mission to the international space station. "endeavour" glided onto the tarmac in the middle of the night, marking an end to its 25th and final mission. >> it's sad to see her land for the last time but she really has a great legacy. >> reporter: the shuttle's six-member crew spent more than six weeks in orbit, conducting four space walks and installing a $2 million experiment. "endeavour" is the youngest of nasa's shuttle fleet and next to last to be retired. >> houston, "endeavour" will stop. >> the space shuttle has been the space horse of the u.s. space program for more than 30 years now. it will be sad to see her be retired. >> reporter: before leaving space "endeavour" commander mark kelly called the end of the program bittersweet but says he

, lawyer and activist bobby kennedy, jr., has focused on a cause. the environment. he is working to stop mountaintop dynamiting for coal in appalachia. his efforts are featured in a new film the last mountain. it examines the conflict between big coal corporations and locals seeing their mountains ruined and their health threatened. in the "new york times" review of the film, janet writes, quote, the residents of the coal river valley in west virginia endure ear splitting explosions, raining boulders, toxic sludge and poisoned wells. the environmental horror story is filled with impearled school children, dust and cancer and autism clusters that defy statistical logic. take a look. >>> i have three sons who have asthma. we know asthma attack are caused by bad air, by ozone particulates and the principal source in our atmosphere are hundreds of coal burning power plants that are burning coal illegally it's been illegal for 18 years under the clean air act they were supposed to remove those materials from their emissions 18 years ago. but in a state w

kennedy. his current position as undersecretary of state for management puts him squarely at the center of the action on many issues that concern this commission. we appreciate the informed and helpful testimony he has provided another appearances before the panel and welcome him back. we also appreciate his informal response is to work as well. before we hear the investor kennedy's testimony, i will comment briefly on our three main areas of interest. first, it's the state department's response to the request for comment on recommendations in our february, 2011 second interim report to congress. that report called at what risk correcting the over reliance on contractors and operations made 32 recommendations for statutory, policy or administrative changes. at our request the department of state provided responses to the items that would affect it. we appreciate that. to be candid however, we saw some of the responses while others struck us as logically dubious. for example, we think the depar

kennedy in the campaign of 1960. >> why did conservatives dislike john f. kennedy so much then? >> i don't know. i suppose it is because of the differences being what they are. but i don't think it was a matter of the cold war. you know, kennedy was -- he gave that inaugural address where he laid down the gauntlet, and in a way that might have -- been what we were prepared to do. i'm not so sure that -- i don't know exactly what conservatives felt on kennedy at the time. >> we mentioned peter jennings, one thing that you have quoted him talking about is i.f. stone and a bunch of others. >> yes. >> who is i.f. stone, and why did that bother you so much, the things said about i.f. stone? >> i.f. stone was a journalist who -- he was known as izzy stone. he was a stalinnist for a long time who -- who would present the best possible interpretation of the communist, the most excusing of their behavior, whereas he had already indictments in this country at every pass, he defended the soviet union for one crime after another, and yet he was -- or perhaps because he did this, he was a he

in kennedy v. louisiana. 2008 and 2009 term. that was an interesting -- that is how commentators like to put labels on the court. there were talking about incrementalism or minimalism. the court was going in a conservative direction but step by step. they resolve that case on statutory grounds. another example would be the boston case involving free clearance under section 2 of the voting rights act. there is the 15th amendment question. the pattern was emerging that that is the term before the prison term. the conventional wisdom had by that point become the press would have said there is a liberal and conservative blog. that brings us to the present time. the term we are looking at during the morning. it seems that, let me put several generalizations on the table and we will see whether they stand up or not. i invite my colleagues to agree or disagree. this is the conservative trend in the court. the importance of alito replacing o'connor, one political scientist did a study of the 44 justices who settled since 1937. by that s

former congressman patrick kennedy now a healthcare advocate was on hand for today's announcement. >> for many of our soldiers the war is just beginning. the question is, are we going be there for them just as they were there for us?

that is kennedy, thomas, ginsburg and breyer. sca lease is a sure vote to overrule, kagen appears skept 8:00, sotomayor doesn't seem to think it's necessary to discuss meed, i think there's a real question whether meed will still be the law five years from now. not saying it definitely won't be but it's under a cloud. ok. thank you. >> mike,. >> i just want to jump in very quickly. all these types of deference and so forth may strike a lot of people in the audiences i think audience's word was thrilling. i think the technical term for this is a snood snooze. but they really are, i want to add, i think they >> very important because it is arguments over these questions of deference in which the very idea of separation of powers and the rule of law are worked out in the context of the administrative stay. and i would just like to at least maybe caution against assuming that justice scalia's new campaign against aur deference is over just because he lost this particular term. justice scalia is a very smart guy and he is very persist

you have keyed justice roberts, scalia, kennedy, and coleco in the majority. and you have the others in dissent. in this case, justice scalia does not emphasize the language of the federal arbitration act. instead, he emphasizes what he called the principal purpose, which he described as insuring enforcement of arbitration agreements. the discretion allows for a streamlined procedures pertaining to the type of dispute. arbitration interfered with this when it was compelled by state law. in contrast, justice breyer emphasized the plan language of the statute, and specifically he argued that what california had done fell directly within the spoke -- the scope of the act exception permitting courts to refuse to arbitrate agreements for the revocation of any contract. he was treating class arbitration waivers the way it treats the other contractual waiters found to be unconscionable. you have the same justices trying to define a congressional attempt -- intent in different ways depending on the case. that suggests to me divining congressional intent is difficult.

[applause] supervisor mar: thank you. >> my name is bruce kennedy and i'm a 19-year resident of parkmerced, a 46-year resident of san francisco. i have lived here under three different owners. i've studied the plans for the future development and discussed it with parkmerced management. i've listened to much of the testimony presented both for and opposed to the plan. my judgment -- the most basic issue is one of trust. based on past experience, long time residents have every reason to be wary of proposals made by owners of the property. as a former member and officer of the parkmerced residents organization, i've also experienced battles with previous owners. earlier landlords have frankly not been trust for the. they have made promises which they have never carried out.

kennedy's life. this is the red room and the reason i showed this is that was the first first-round that she completed and her restoration but this was the day of her husband's funeral. she insisted that she made those who were coming from afar, those who were diplomats, the diplomatic corps from abroad and so she stood with her brother-in-law, senator edward kennedy to her right and she insisted on greeting everyone who had come to pay their respects to her husband. on a more glittery note again we remember her for her state entertaining. in the short amount of time that she was in the white house and it was only a little over a thousand days, she and her husband through 16 state dinners. in the first term, four full years of the w. bush term, they held a believe it was to. now mind you, 9/11 happened during that time. there were security issues, but the bushes, the second bushes bush is from texas were just not as interested in that. they weren't as interested in state entertainment. they warned us

khrushchev and kennedy and roosevelt the uneasy alliance. he is currently writing his trip american presidents during wartime. i'm sure many of you also know mr. beschloss from his television work. he served as nbc news presidential historian on the "pbs newshour" and in 2000 by the one and emmy for his role in creating the discovery channel's decisions that shook the world of which he was a host. and last but certainly not least as professor susan is professorn dunn another protÉge colleague and friend. she is depressed in pairs third century professor of arts and humanities. most recently she has written roosevelt purge how fdr far to change the democratic party published in 2010 by harvard university's l press. roosevelts purge has received a henry adams prize awarded by the society for history in the federal government and was a finalist with "the los angeles times" but prize in history. as mentioned earlier professor dunn is is the co-author of james macgregor burns of the three roosevelts, printers and leaders who transformed american

kennedy. his current position as undersecretary of state for management puts him squarely at the center of the action and many issues that concern this commission. we appreciate the informed unhelpful testimony he has provided in other appearances before this panel, and welcome him back. we also appreciate his informal responses to our work as well. before we hear ambassador kennedy's testimony, i will comment briefly on our three main areas of interest. first, it's the state department's response to our request for comment on recommendations in our february 2011 report to congress. that report called at what risk correcting over reliance on contractors and continuing operations made 32 recommendations for statutory policy or administrative changes. at our request the department of state provided responses to the items it would affect it. we appreciate that. to be candid, however, we thought some of the responses were cursory while others struck us as logically dubious. for example, we think t

and as the most exciting part, working with people in our partnerships with harbor kennedy school. we have all been focused -- a whole city family -- people in finance, neighborhood empowerment networks -- to strengthen our neighborhoods to get the more prepared. you use programs like nert, but you go beyond that because it is only about response, and you use it to talk about neighborhood capacity. that is what i have been doing my life, whether on the civil rights ankle, or on the emergency and seismic retrofit preparations, building the capacity of our neighborhoods. one lesson that i have learned, one that i will never forget, and now as the mayor of the city get to emphasize, as i stood on the plains of the ninth board in new orleans some years ago and watched how devastated that community was, i made a personal promise to myself. in any capacity that i served the city, i would do my best not to abandon those neighborhoods that were the poorest, the most disenfranchised, and to suggest to this city that we have a better way of repairing ourselves, that we now have a chance to o
