i can't remember if you touch on this, maybe you do, but senator patri patri patrick leahy asked onef those other justices to step in when one of the justices is recused. it seems fairly simple, but is that a possibility? is it viable? >> it's certainly a possibility. that's how appeals courts work. all the circuit courts of appeals when a judge recuses him or herself, they have a supreme court judge. the justices have never worked that way. it does seem like a suggestion, but the supreme court operates very much according to tradition, moves slowly when it comes to changing its procedures. that's why i think there will be cameras in the supreme court when hell freezes over. i just think stuff doesn't happen very fast. the congress didn't tamper with the supreme court's procedures. i think it's a good suggestion for senator leahy, but i'm not holding my breath when it actually happens. >> it will be interesting to see women on the supreme court, three women now. jeffrey toobin, thank you very much. the book is called "nine," and it's about this very issue. >>> $90 million to customer

if we look in the senate, we'll see patrick leahy, pat leahy also votes 100% on the civil rights proreportat both of these chairman they push through the most comprehensive voting rights reauthorizationation in the hithsry of our country but also those willing to raise issues that clearly affect our communities. as we talk about voter turnout and voter participation, it's a vehicle to making sure that policy concerns can be addressed so we are looking at the challenges that are happening now in communities that will push, quite frankly, the card further away from the kind of empowerment and civic protections we want in our society. we think about those advances that we have made and those communities are very particular to to the this concern. we are also looking at leadership in many areas and as i look at what's happened over the course of time, i think about those that allow the agenda to go forward, and some of the more rural areas and challenges held by people like congressman scott from georgia. that is a district to be heavily affected. there's a strong engagement, at this point we'

i think leahy is trying to find some path out of that. again, i think that his principle challenge is convincing the american people to vote for this. host: there is a lot of these nominees pending before the senate jewish and because they've been -- senate judiciary committee and because they've been so concerned with elena kagan it didn't free them up to get these judicial nominees through the committee process. so that's why this logjam, this bag log comes from. guest: i don't think there's any question that set the obama administration behind on this whole enterprise was having two supreme court confirmations. they had to pay attention to that and they had to ramp up for that. and i also think -- and this is something that, you know, democrats are going to yell about, but i also think that president obama just doesn't think that the judiciary is necessarily the centrally important critical issue for him the same way republicans have been laser focused on the courts for decades. and so i think there is a stance not just the timing is b

one thing that is interesting here, senator patrick leahy has proposed legislation about this that wouldetired justices to fill in for their colleagues on the bench if an existing justice recuss himself or herself from the case. some say it's a great idea. others say it's not because the former cystises would be liberals. liberal leaning. and to be quite honest, this proposal is not going anywhere. >> i'm sure it's not going to go anywhere, but it does represent a serious setback for the liberal side of the u.s. supreme court, without her participating in these kinds of decisions, the conservative side could certainly hold sway. >> i mean, the supreme court is about setting precedent. if it's a split decision, they're not really doing their job. the justices' hands are tied. >> when they nominated her, thaw knew this was an issue, but she was confirmed. she's a member of the supreme court, even though she went be participating in about two dozen of these cases. a lot of stuff could happen this year. >> that's right. >> we'll see what happens. very serious matter. thanks. >>> when i inter

didn't know they were rod and you have dick cheney dropping the f-bomb on the senate floor to senator leahy and politicians saying things when they didn't know they were recorded and the essence is not that anyone should use this slur but what does it mean? what he's saying is she is willing to sell herself for an endorsement. and, willing to give up an idea, in principle in order to get an endorsement and that what is a whore is and it's an unfortunate and terrible word, it shouldn't be used, in private conversations, people say this stuff all the time and here, kugz her ku accusing her of selling herself. >> you don't call women that word, in any circumstance, civil, polite discourse. it is wrong. >> that's true. >> and they should have apologized for it and have and it will be a one or two day story and jerry brown deserves to take' hit on it. martha: on the face of it you are right, rich and he will take a hit on it and i wonder about the underlying issue and how much they'll be able to keep that underlying and whether or not that cuts both ways for these candidates. let's move on, i wa

we are aware of the leahy amendment. two, the secretary has just said that pakistan today is the most important partner the united states has in counter-terrorism. that has lost 7000 lives in counter-terrorism. that partner has been saying that we have capacity needs. we have defense needs. and i am so happy that this administration has recognized the legitimate defense needs of pakistan. we have had six rounds of talks through the defense working groups, and we have reached an understanding that training is required, and i am sure this equipment in training in this multi-year program, pakistan will be able to deliver in a more effective manner. you have seen our delivery in many agencies of the tribal belt, and we intend to do our job seriously. >> [inaudible] >> yes, we have met before. >> secretary, a specific question on dialogue. the pakistani delegation if you has been that the project has been discussed and will have additional funding. but it looks like the view of the american side is that funding will be divert

you reported looking at today's upcoming term that senator leahy of vermont has proposed a solution to this potential for-4 split. guest: we now live 3 active retired supreme court justices, sandra day o'connor, david souter, and john paul stevens. in the possibility of these 4-4 deadlocks, giving the court the authority to appoint one of the retired justices to fill the spot and make that the black unlikely. the problem might be political, -- make the deadlock unlikely. the problem might be political, that those justices are moderate .o liberal host: let's take a look at footage of this, the attendees at the cathedral, including justice scalia, breyer, clarence thomas, and she's juschief juste john roberts. host: many justices have attended the mass. but this highlights a new development on the court. we have an unusual makeup on the court heard six catholics and three jewish justices. justice schrier, one of the jewish justices come -- justice breyer, one of the jewish justices, attended. host: adam liptak is taking your calls about the supreme court, whose new session begins today.

i think leahy is trying to find some path out of that. again, i think that his principle challenge is convincing the american people to vote for this. host: there is a lot of these nominees pending before the senate jewish and because they've been -- senate judiciary committee and because they've been so concerned with elena kagan it didn't free them up to get these judicial nominees through the committee process. so that's why this logjam, this bag log comes from. guest: i don't think there's any question that set the obama administration behind on this whole enterprise was having two supreme court confirmations. they had to pay attention to that and they had to ramp up for that. and i also think -- and ts is something that, you know, democrats are going to yell about, but i also think that president obama just doesn't think that the judiciary is necessarily the centrally important critical issue for him the same way republicans have been laser focused on the courts for decades. and so i think there is a stance not just the timing is bad
