i would tell them to make sure that the legal education is a quality legal education. it is the first of to have a monopoly, so you can control the lawyers, and make sure they are acting in an ethical way. i think there was a third part of the question, what would i tell them not to do. by the way, before i get to that, in vietnam, i recently met with the president of their bar association, similar to the american bar. in most countries, they have a government bar association that is part of the government, in effect. then they just have an non-club federated are. the person was a 70-year-old viet cong that was the chair. one of the most interesting conversations i ever had. someone who did not told anyanger, -- not hold any anger, but wanted information and help from america. the american bar association has one of the best legal libraries in the world. coaching and has said -- has built a law school that has no books. we're working with those countries to provide them with legal materials because they have been asking. they also ask for lawyers to help them with thei

i want them to come legally. grandmothers live on the other side of the border waiting to come here legally. i want them to come here too, not just those that are already here. >> so we have gone, we've gone from your washington attack when i first proposed this, and you said it was outrageous and a magnet to you're accepting the fact that a family's going to take care of their grandmother and grandfather. the idea that you're going to push them out in some form by simply say they go can't get a job. i think the grandmother will still be here. all i want to do, allow the grandmother to be here legally with some rights to have residency, not citizenship, so he or she can finish their life with dignity within the law. >> they're not 11 million -- there are not 11 -- or sprob not 11 million grandmothers. our problem is -- all right? our problem is 11 million people getting jobs that many americans, legal immigrants, would like to have. it's schoolkids in schools districts are having a hard time paying for. people ge

surprises if not outright shocks contained in the fine legal print, the legal mummo jumbo. cruise lines have spent literally decades and they've had their defense lawyers draft every conceivable protection of the cruise line to limit the ability of injured passengerss to pursue their remedies. read the fine print and you'll find: passengers are not able to file a class action lawsuit. each claim against the costa cruise line must be brought individually. lost baggage claim is limited to no more than 500-dollars per passenger- unless the traveler pre- purchased insurance. death and personal injury claims are limiied to 70- thousand dollars under maritime law assspelled out in the athens convention oo 1976. the statute of limitations is only a year after the incident. and passengers or their survivvrs have only 6 months to notify the cruise line of their intent to file a lawsuit. and when it comes to jurisdiction lawsuits against the costa cruises have not been heard in the unites states.. but in genoa, italy the standard form contracts that passengers sign are incredibly sla

doctrine that a corporation is a person just as surely as the court created the legal doctrine that money is speech these are not in our constitution certainly no democratic process. was engaged in order to reach those conclusions the court created these ideas out of whole cloth in order to legalize the ability of a small ruling elite to basically hijack our governing structures and the court itself ever since marbury ever since eighteen zero three has become a small ruling elite and you would basically have nine black robed kings don't you know down the street here just a couple blocks from us who can knock down anything that our democratically elected representatives choose because of them are we case and you know through the court took that power out of the. so right and and they aggressively do it all the time and let's just be clear the roberts course is probably the most the most extreme example of judicial activism we've seen in one hundred years from the supreme court i do believe that the courts should be used if individual human rights are actually being violated to the de

[speaking foreign language] the house was bought in 2001. >> [speaking foreign language] >> [speaking foreign language] >> [speaking foreign language] >> ok, according to what he is saying, the case is his neighbor was also penalized, ok, ok? with the same case, ok? but he was able to get the penalty lowered, lowdown. president goh: ok, anymore, commissioners? >> to consider what happens. i did not know this happened. i did not know there was an illegal. the windows, and then it was next to my house, the fire, and the fire depa

legal tender. there it is, okay? in fine print on the front says this note is legal tender for all debts public and private. which means if you're offering something for sale and you put a $5 price tag on it and i walk in one of these, you have to take it. and that's the magic. but why does it work? congress can say -- and that's where the formula comes from. congress passed the first legal tender act and in the middle of the civil war. until then dollars in american history were coin money. they were cold or silver. there were private notes that were circulating that represented themselves as money but they weren't legal tender. you didn't have to take those notes anymore than you have to take a check. now, i started writing this book because it had historical interests but as i was writing it and even since it come out, it has developed greater contemporary interest. one of the things that i say at the end of the book is that the dollar is almost certainty going to lose its privileged standing as the world's reserv

the legal part of this ... sort of a legal stretch. >>randy: this is what the country is tires of. why the country is demanding change, the technical ridiculous things. if you watched the coverage of the floor, there was no one there. it was ridiculous. so this is the president's way of saying, you ain't going to play nice in my sand box i will play nice in yours and at the end of the day it has not helped us, the citizens. >>shepard: the republican argument is, we would have blocked those if we could have but we were not this session so we were, technically, and --. >>randy: and the president says you wasn't in session so you could not block them and guess what? i took advantage of you the same way you have been doing to me. >>shepard: legal challenge is a long shot. >>guest: a battle over definition and i think the president will win. >>shepard: you are in plane fly over the atlantic magazine and then there is an announcement that the plane is about to crash. only there is nothing wrong the plane and the announcement is a mistake. believe it or not it just happened. wait until yo

tender, it's legal tender. but secondly, it raises some really interesting questions about the direction of the dollar. if cash isn't good anymore, then what in the world are we going to go to? so that's a long-winded way of saying that's why i wrote the book. [laughter] >> remember, that is louisiana you're talking about. [laughter] let me, let me throw -- let me throw a question out to both of you to start with, and i want to throw some specific questions about the books. we are in the middle of what everybody seems to agree is an economic crisis around the world. and part of that crisis is the place of the dollar. okay, assuming that chinese currency or the euro, especially the euro's in any better shape, the yen, obviously, hasn't done very well in the 20 years since the japanese collapsed. at the same time, we've just had this incredible crisis over the debt crisis which, david, i think you would say was maybe not what everybody thought it was. so where exactly considering where you guys are coming from, w

neither of those would be illegal, -- would be legal. the property line division is accommodating existing conditions, vetoes it has to circumvent existing stairs. you do not have a clean cut all the way across. it seems like we are working awfully hard to split this lot, not to conform with the code, when we should always have in mind that we want it conforms to the code, and it is not up to the planning department to make it illegal in that way. it would be preferable soo to ge them their variances if they want. why force an additional one? thank you very much. >> thank you. >> good evening. the owners of the property, and the respondents live a block from the property. like the appeals of many permits before you, various appeals. now the board can over turn only if they have abused discretion. the appellant makes no such case. mr. malek provides no evidence any errors were made by the zoning administrator, and he makes no argument but abuse or indiscretion occurred. with the zoning district allows three units, this is legal- nonconfor

it is legal tender. secondly, erases some really interesting questions about the direction of dollar. if cash is not good anymore what are we going to go to? that is a long winded way of saying -- >> that is louisiana you're talking about. >> let me from a question out to both of you to start out with. some specific questions about the books. we are in the middle of what everybody seems to agree is an economic crisis around the world and part of that crisis is the place of the dollar. the chinese currency or the euro is in any better shape obviously hasn't done very well in 20 years since the japanese collapse. we just had this incredible crisis over the debt crisis which you would say is not what everybody thought it was. where exactly considering where you're coming from from the history of debt and the history of the greenbacks were we getting into in the twenty-first century? is there a placement for the dollar? is this debt crisis going to blow the entire economic system? >> hard to know where to st

legally required environmental review. that is separate from whether the underlying agreement makes sense for the city. let me say at the outset that i am a strong supporter of the america's cup. like many of my colleagues on this board, who voted to bring this event to san francisco, we want this event to succeed. we want it done in a way that is environmentally responsible and financially responsible. the issue of environmental review is what is before us. one of the interesting points that i think was made in the appeal is about the interconnection between the environmental review and some of the financial terms of this deal. i think the letters that came from san francisco tomorrow, signed by president cleary, dated january 22, makes a very interesting point. there is so much uncertainty in terms of where the funding for the environmental negations is going to come from that that uncertainty raises questions about whether or not the city will actually be able to perform the environmental negations -- mitigation. i thin

we need to underscore the fact we're a party of legal immigration. we like legal immigration. we want legal immigration. and to protect legal immigration, we want to stop illegal immigration. we don't want to do anything that would suggest to people come on in here, just wait long enough, whether it's five years or ten years. wait long enough and we'll take you all in on an amnesty basis. i want people to get in line legally. >> congressman paul, you're from a border state. if this is a problem, you've heard your colleagues talk about and making sure employers, companies that hire large numbers of people, making sure they get the message. what about individuals? about a quarter of the illegal immigrants in the country work for individuals. if this is a problem, if i hire an illegal immigrant to clean my home, should i be prosecuted for doing that? >> i don't believe you should be. those laws are misdirected. that makes you the policeman, the businessman the policeman, the catholic church a policeman if they do anything to help an illegal immigrant. it should be the law enforce

in maryland, governor o'malley presented a bill to legalize same-sex marriage. in washington state, a similar bill is poised to pass as a majority of legislators have come out in favor of the bill. >> gay marriage opponents have announced plans to seek referendums overturning the bills in november in washington and maryland if they pass, believe it or in the. joining me now is dan savage who writes a syndicated column savage love and is author of the book the commitment and co project. we should also give you credit for entering a certain senator's name on google and making us all chuckle. >> i am the google santorum problem, and proud of it. santorumville filed quite viciously and graphically comparing my 17-year-old marriage to my partner to child rape and dog rape. we thought that was disgusting so we came up with a disgusting definition for santorum. >> and said it's not healthy behavior. the guy is hopeless. i want to ask you about chris christy. he's really afraid. >> he's willing to let it happen as long as his fingerprints aren't on it. >> he's watching

are most here legally? >> guest: most are here legally, yes. most of the kids are here as, you know, legal immigrants or refugees. that said, 15% of the senior class the year i was there was undocumented. and, um, in this country we had a 1982 supreme court case which ruled that students, regardless of their legal status, have the right to go to public school and get a free public education. so it's scary to see that challenged now, and i think that whatever your feelings about undocumented immigrants in this country, it's hard to argue with, um, you know, the advantage of educating all children. because a lot of the kids, um, are going to stay anyway, so the question is do you want them to be contributing, valuable member of society or not? and if you do, education is very important. >> host: the new kids is the book, big dreams and drive journeys at a high school for immigrant teens. tracy nicole here in miami, you're the first call for author brooke hauser. >> caller: hi. good afternoon. it's such a pleasure to have you both here in miami. w

the spouse is not here legally but you have now a u.s. citizen-born child. we've got to find a rational way and a humane way that deals with those undocumented immigrants who have been here because i don't think you can ignore them and i don't think the suggestion that one of the candidates put out there, senator -- governor romney that they will all self deport is very realistic. we think you have to have a rational way. those folks should, you know, go to the end of the line, receive background checks, make sure that we ensure that they learn english. but there needs to be a process for them to have a path to citizenship. for us that's going to be important. cracking down on employers who are unscrupulous and who are taking advantage of the current situation is also important. so there's a combined number of elements that would lead us to, i think, what would be a very rational common sense solution on immigration reform and that's what we support. >> again, talking with jan marguia. before you were there you were with the university of

we have seen is the legal debate, it has done several interesting things. number one of legal principles that were understood to be in support of things like integration have now been turned against policy that is designed to integrate schools and what have you for affirmative action policies. they began on a narrow idea that it nearly this describes affirmative action and that is an instance of the kind of thinking that i am describing. does that mean affirmative action should not be controversial but the precise way the law has dealt with with these most important questions rather than eliminate them. we don't make much of a decision now with the popular debate as a result of the legal debate. we don't make much of the state's affirmative-action or higher education or public contracts these are very a different context brought to bear and highly plausible that they favored one and oppose another but they are focused relatively narrow on the issue of affirmative action. one other thing that has happened as a result with the way the lot is dealt is much of

>> let me hit on the legal immigration part. then i will go into the legal. i am the son of a legal immigrant. i talked about my grandfather who came here and brought my dad when he was 7 years of age. he worked in this country for five years, earned his citizenship to make enough money and bring the rest of the family over. he left my dad from ages 2 to 7 and visited in him once for about two months. he made the sacrifices because america was worth it. it was worth leaving the family behind to be able to plant that flag and get your citizenship and give your children the opportunity to live in the greatest country in the history of the world. when we talked about legal immigration, i think legal immigration is a great thing. it has to be a lot more ordered then it is today. the fact that we have a lottery system for people to come into this country is silly. people should not be in a lottery to determine whether they come to this country. they should come to this country based on a whole bunch of different criteria and one of them should not be chained immig
