senator feinstein, senator kyl writing in 2007. mr. keisler, by the way, was never confirmed. for 2 1/2 years his nomination was held in the judiciary committee, from june 2006 until january 2009. now, mr. president, the same arguments made in 2006 and 2007 should be persuasive today. today the average caseload for the circuit, the d.c. circuit, even if it were reduced by three judgeships to the eight seats currently occupied, would be less than one-half the national average for circuit courts. the national average is 344 cases filed per judge this year in federal appellate courts. the d.c. circuit average, if it were reduced to the eight current judges, would be 149 per year. national average, 344 cases per year. d.c. circuit average, even if it's reduced to eight, would be 149 per year, less than half. since 2005, there's been a decrease of 27% in the number of written decisions by an active judge on the d.c. circuit. since 2005, the number of appeals filed in the d.c. circuit has fallen by 17.5%. so before it considers any of the president's nominees for the d.c. circuit, t

john kyl said to him at that summit, mr. president, i'm concerned about the individual market.going to require that these policies offer goodies in them. that will jack up rates or the insurers will say, i'm cancelling these policies. the president said, no, no, i will grandfather those in. people will be protected. here was the president february 2010. >> actually, any insurance you currently have would be grandfathered in so you could keep. you could decide not to get the better plan in the exchange. i could keep my acme insurance, just a high deductible catastrophic plan. i would not be required to get the better one. >> four months later an administrative memo talking about how over 70% of the individual insurance market would be cancelled and the president in 2012, mark, came out and reiterated what he said that if you like your plan you can keep it. i ask you what i asked dr. emanuel on friday. was he intentionally misleading or was he grossly mistaken. >> he was doing neither. what he said was correct. if you had a plan before 2010 that hasn't changed, that your premiums

senator ted cruz of texas who has led the movement to block funding for the health law is ted cruz kyl is ted cruz damaging your party well i think i think what's most interesting about this debate is it's unclear what his strategy is to some extent there are people who say strategy is to get as much publicity as he has your place john mccain has as the most dangerous place to be washington d.c. is between john mccain the camera now it's between ted cruz everyone with whom or by the way go on well but you go into a debate you know do they keep using as you walk a used car dealership and you start with your lowest offer and you negotiate someplace in the middle and i don't think that ted cruz because a smart enough guy to know that when he was trying to negotiate the price of the car after he has bought the car and drove it off the lot three years ago they call i think the g.o.p. i think they're imploding from within and this is just another clear example of that i mean there's a lot of defy stiffness within the g.o.p. right now ted cruz is basically trying to score brownie points for a

the government shutdown is senator from montana, a democrat, and chief of staff under senator john kylthank you for joining us. it's costing the economy $380 million a day. president obama laid all the blame on house republicans when he spoke about the shutdown today. >> obama: they've shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable healthcare insurance to millions of americans. they demanded ransom just for doing their job. >> however, some of the most conservative house republicans seem to believe they will win on the merits. steve king told reporters the g.o.p. will win, and i quote, because we're right, simply because we're right. we can recover from a political squabble, but we can never recover from obamacare. is there a somewhere in the middle that they can meet? >> well, of course there is. you know, congress only has one role. that is to pass a budget. if they didn't pass a law during the entire year, no one would miss it. but they've got to pass a budget. this is money that already has been spent. they've aloe dated it on all of the priorities the hous
