the parish has always been the center of life or the catholic layperson. or baptism is there, your funeral will be there and between these points there is participation in mass every sunday and an opportunity year after year of a richly textured multilayered life, combining the safety of sacramento, the educational and communal. but, parish life is declining and parishes face challenges. our guest today is doctor melanie mori, a student of catholic health and institutions and co-author of the book "renewing catholic future." the parish's cultural home- based of american catholics and in the smallest and most basic units, the catholic culture is nurtured, sustained and transmitted. the ideology of american catholicism depends on a vibrant life. what are the challenges? what are the possibilities? please stay with us and after the short break join us talking about the catholic parish. ,,,,,, ,, >>> hello, welcome back. we have with us today doctor melanie mori. welcome to you. a little bit about you. a bachelors degree from smith college, masters degree from

so to a layperson watching this conversation tonight, what trick, what'd you do to pull us in regarding the way you shot this thing? >> you know the biggest trick i would say it is if i tell you i'm making a movie about a poor black boy growing up in the hood with a mom addicted to drugs, struggling with sexuality, you think you know what this film looks plieng it's a drab, social realist documentary kind of film. we wanted this to be rooted in the main character. you know, has a huge interior life, even though he's not expressing himself verbally as well as everyone around him. there are certain moments where the character is disoriented, like the scene with naomi harris in the courtyard. we wanted to allow ourselves the freedom to go the slow motion. look our character in the eye. there's so many places where there are things that defy the expectations of the set-up of the scene it's because we're in the interior mind of the character. you know, i think another aspect of it is, film and the medium you know it's only been around for 120 years. hasn't changed much. emotion was calibrate

only focus on the more violent crimes, but the big picture, if you look at the woman -- even as a layperson, if you look at the wording of the policy, you have already broken the law. technically the deportation order -- i want to move on. >> meghan: he's only six weeks in as president and there will be hiccups. there will be problems, this happens with any new presidency. it's okay to concede that he's had some problems. i think the people who are overt trump supporters, when the president is saying himself that they've had some problems, it's okay. >> harris: president obama said that one reason his policies didn't go the way he wanted, he threw his p.r. team under the bus. he said it was bad p.r. >> david: >> meghan: democrats g to send a message to president trump tonight, many of them are bringing immigrants and refugees other guests to his big speech on capitol hill. just a few examples, elizabeth warren will be joined by an iraqi refugee, new york congresswoman is bringing an iraqi immigrant who works for the u.s. military as an interpreter, he was detained at kennedy airport for 18

gorsuch is a strict constitutionalist or a textualist, all of the words being thrown around that the laypersonoesn't know. what does that mean? what kind of judge is when it comes to the law. >> those are labels. conservative justice roberts said the judge is there just to be an umpire. call balls and strikes and not -- >> not make the law. >> right. there are others who would say that those judges also have a mission. those judges also have an agenda. it really gets down to not so much the labels but where you stand politically. >> gorsuch is the youngest nominee to the supreme court in more than two decades. which prompted our question of the day that we have been asking you throughout mornings on 2. it is the idea of term limits perhaps. we have been asking, would you support term limits for supreme court justices? one twitter user says no term limits to scotus but not to election. on. >> maldonado says no, i don't. best to keep the judicial branch independent. >> the reon behind live long appointments are good but lifetimes are too long especially with this judge. he will be there for a wh

. >> as a layperson, wouldn't whoever is looking at this and reviewing it, would they look at the entire, the totality of this executive order and say, you know, maybe they'll look at it and say, this wasn't put together properly. there's too many elements as you say. can they pull some element out and keep part of the legislation? >> that's what i think the ninth circuit is going to do. they're going to say this is a devisable order. some parts are probably constitutional. some parts that are probably not. and remember, the burden of proof is heavily on the party seeking a stay. the court of washington said that was satisfied. the court in massachusetts said that burden wasn't satisfied. and so, we have conflicting opinions and chaos. that's why the ultimate decision made by the supreme court, which is a 4-4, divided supreme court. this is fascinating and troubling and difficult. but the key is, our system of checks and balances is working. the president doesn't get to do what he wants without there being judicial review. that's a great thing. >> laura, i don't know if you can answer th

ari, it's difficult as a layperson to listen to these hearings and get a sense of whether one side or the other got the better of the argument. yourself as a lawyer when you listen to it, did it seem that one side had an argument that seemed to draw more of those judges affirmation? >> on the lawyering -- meaning how good a job they did -- the doj had a harder time. there were times they couldn't answer the question, there were times where they made assertions that weren't in the record, the evidence wasn't put before the court. this is an appeals hearing which means if it's not in the lower record generally it's not going to be used to make the decision, at least technically speaking. so they had a harder time. they still have a lot of president and law on their sides because as we emphasized in our reporting, there's a huge amount of presidential power in the immigration context. i thought the washington attorney general side represented by the solicitor general, they made a lot of strong points and in the beginning it was a big discussion and debate over standing, can you even brin

it's called the prudent layperson's standard for emergency care. let me take you back before the affordable care act. this is why it's important for congress to be careful as to how we pass laws. and if we repeal laws, we can go back to these types of practices. before the affordable care act, if you had chest pains and shortness of breath, you would do what i would think any reasonable person would do. you would be taken to the emergency room as soon as possible to see whether you were having a heart attack. classic signs of a heart attack. and yet there were insurance policies that said that if you went to a hospital that was out of network, they weren't going to pay the full amount, even though you went to the closest hospital because you had an emergency situation. that makes no sense at all, but that was the case. and then we had insurance companies, because you went to the hospital, you did the right thing, and you found out you didn't have a heart attack, and you went home. you were happy until you got the bill and your insurance company sai

just a layperson.s to be a very effective drug for hepatitis c, does it make sense to spend a lot of money developing a second third and fourth treatment for the same condition would you now have an effective treatment for? i am not saying there is zero reason because i'm sure some people those other drugs would be better for. but i suspect forcing them to say we have two scenes of these research dollars will be best spent.it would not be developing a second third and fourth cure for hepatitis c. will be developing a drug for something we don't have a treatment. my preferred alternative i'll just mention and go on, but my preferred research is direct money. a lot of people look at me and Ãhave you heard of the national institute of health to they get $32 billion a year roughly. roughly $32 billion a year funding from the federal government. and they agree they do great work. they get the output and patents i make lots of money. but i would agree they do effective work. sophie doubled or tripled the bud

how the influences their view illegitimacy is constant and to be treated on an equal grounds the laypersonwho's been represented is john lewis. to those who felt trump was not a legitimate candidate. this is a dynamic of a highly confident qualified in this case being overtaken by a man that is so inexperienced and incapable to be a rumor. >> that issue is coming out why a trump one did he was supported by those too voted for him. the students believed they did not vote based on the issues or the policies or what he seemed to represent so the fact he was not part of washington and what could disqualify u.s. a candidate? and of those other liberals had does he do so well the doesn't know anything? and when they say clearly this will render him and illegitimate. no. it made it stronger. so the fact that he was the anti-candidate candidate was the appeal about him it clearly was not a coincidence it isn't what we use as qualifications with the cabinet appointees to be under qualified but still the choice of the day. >> even those persuaded to vote for the new president we have to remember the

i find it hard to believe that they are going to -- >> i don't disagree with you, although as a layperson, just listening to the exchange yesterday between the three judge court of appeals and the administration's representative from the justice department, they just sliced and diced him in the questioning. i don't know. >> remember, also, if this court upholds the district court, then the temporary restraining order stays in place and the question is whether the supreme court takes that away, which would require this 4-4 deadlock to become 5-3 and require anthony kennedy or on somebody else to decide with the government. the tie stays in place if the appeals court upholds the district court. >> it would take one of the four democratic judges there, one of the four, and i don't know who that is. again, such deference is overwhelmingly paid to the executive branch. >> remember, this is just on the temporary restraining order and there would ultimately be a trial on the merits. >>> secretary of homeland security was on capitol hill, trump's pick, defending the premise of the executive order

it's truly -- if you were not a -- you were a layperson and you talked about shared decision making it's how you would describe it. all of us that are in the biz, oh, that's a process and a tool. no, sharing the decision. so -- >> that is what you do for a relatively -- must be a relatively small population apart of your population that is in such serious circumstances that it's worth it to the company to take them to the center of excellence. >> correct. >> is there anything comparable with something like how to manage your diabetes or -- >> we don't have anything at walmart. some of the others may have tools that they've implemented beyond -- we don't have a tool in a box, yeah. >> we don't -- it's not a tool, but for people who are -- who have diabetes, we do have diabetes support programs that -- where you can engage with our health plans and then also in various programs to be able to manage the diabetes in a more effective way. so by joining communities, by having programs that allow you to check on your progress, to allow you to have better interactions with your doctor about mana
