madison, wisconsin. >>> we are back in madison, wisconsin.a montage of all the things wisconsin has been through. across america, the big question tonight is can wisconsin really do it? i think it's well documented the fight for the middle class has taking over in this country. the corporate favors out there. now the outsourcing and the attack on wages, the attack on pensions and health care. across the board, where as the top 2%, they skip off again scott-free. when you take someone's voice away in the workplace, when you tell americans they can't stand-up for themselves and collectively bargain, it cuts to the root of what make this is country great. the ordeal in wisconsin, the radical agenda of governor walker was so strong they stepped forward and said we need to change how people talk about their jobs. we need to change about how people talk about their livelihood. we need to get on their kitchen table. i thought republicans didn't want government intrusion. it's all they want in wisconsin. ohio, i know you are watching. ohio, i know yo

i'm ed schultz reporting live from madison, wisconsin, tonight.e recall elections under way, three republicans have dodged a bullet tonight, and they will go back to the wisconsin state senate. one democrat has been declared the winner. and there are two other races that are in the balance right now. in the 8th district, 57% of the vote has been counted. and sandy pasch, the challenger, is leading state senator alberta darling by 58% to 42%. 18,000 votes for pasch. 13,000-plus for darling. john nichols of "the nation" magazine, that gap is widening. what does it mean? >> well, what it means is that the milwaukee and suburb votes are in. and i've got to be honest with you. i'm not going to lie to folks. as the night goes on you're going to see some of those out county suburban votes come in. that race will get closer. but i am quite amazed by the level of the lead that sandy pasch has opened up. this is going to be the race we watch for a while longer tonight. >> and of course in the 18th district, where there is another democratic hopeful, you hav

gene, madison says hi. >> i say hi to madison. been there, it's a wonderful place, and it was awhile ago, there was no "the rachel maddow show" show then, but i'm sure they love you. >> i've been spending more time in washington than i usually do, mostly by accident, but i've been talking to national democrats who have been bringing up madison to me. seem i've been having conversations is washington watching what's going on in madison? it feels washington is, beltway democrats are paying attention to what's happening, is that your sense? >> certainly the democratic base part of washington, labor organizers, people who are deeply involved in democratic politics are definitely paying attention to madison, because as you said, it does give us a sense of where the pendulum is and it also, i think, if the recall efforts are successful, will -- it will convince us that this was a serious overreach by governor walker. >> is this more of -- as you say, is this more of a statement about republican politics than it is about democratic polit

what we've seen in madison. doesn't look like people in madison are marching in line with the respective union colors. looks like they are all measured together; right? in the way the labor movement should. people are not thinking i'm a member of the cwa, or smeared sciu. it's about us and what we can accomplish by fighting together. so i think the response of the clc is around the country to the terrible afl at the top of 2005, and a lot of people are very worried about what happened. people at both levels seem to have more sense, valued long term relationships, solidarity charter mechanism was developed and it was actually in most places relatively little to be expected or feared disruption of the labor unity, regardless of what the people did here and they are working together or not. let's hear from some other folks, any other topics that we seem to be missing. brother here. >> dr. gruenberg from the newspaper guild. one the few lay borrow workers in the audience. there's one thing the labor movement really

madison. ed, it's been so great to have this in your hands tonight. thank you so much. it is a nail-biting election night in wisconsin. what's going on here is six incumbent republican state senators are facing recall elections. this is part of a backlash in wisconsin against those republicans having supported republican governor scott walker's stripping of union rights in wisconsin this year. at this hour, midnight on the east coast, 11:00 p.m. in wisconsin, two democrats two democrats have beated two incumbent republican state senators in wisconsin. three incumbent republicans have kept their seats. and if you're doing the math, two plus three, but wait, there were six. right. the crucial sixth race. the one that would change the balance of power in the senate is at this moment too close to call. this is the crucial race. wisconsin state senate district 8, where democrat sandy pasch challenged senate republican alberta darling. alberta darling is a veteran state edge slaitor. she has been in

he was enslaved to the madisons. james and dolley madison. -- dolly madison. by the time he was 10 years old, he was working at the white house. this turned out to be fortuitous because he happened to be there in 1814 when the white house was brought down, when the british invaded and burnt the city down, including much of what was in the white house. he was they're literally on that -- there literally on that day when, further down the road, the british were burning and looting and headed towards the white house. the white house staff, both slaves and non-slaves were in a very hectic kind of matter trying to grab whatever they could to get out before the british actually got to the front door. so we know the story because, in 1865, paul jennings wrote a memoir, a very short one, but one of the first, if not the first, memoirs of someone who actually worked in the white house. he tells that story. he tells the story of being at the bedside when james madison died. he also tells the story of how dolly madison reneged on the deal that he was supposed to be freed

carl's brother dwight also returned to madison. he died last year.avid fine, who went on to law school but was denied admission to the oregon bar has worked as a paralegal. >> can never be restored. >> reporter: robert's widow stephanie remained in madison where she raised their three children. she never remarried. she chose not to appear in this story but she did give us a message for carl armstrong. she said, "i would like him to know that i harbor no ill will towards him and i never did." >> i've always felt shame for taking someone's life and hurting people. >> reporter: still armstrong's message for the last remaining fugitive may surprise you. if he's watching you right now, what would you want to say to leo? >> good job keeping yourself free, leo. good job. >> reporter: no hesitation on that message. >> no. >> reporter: why? >> why? because to us there was purity of purpose. and it just went bad. >> you're under arrest. >> really? >> mason: ahead david edelstein at the movies. ,,,,,,,, >> it's sunday morning on cbs and here again is anthony ma

james madison past. for primarily economic reasons, dolly did not free him immediately. so he had to work to earn enough to buy his freedom a few years later. >> because of you, i got on the internet and found the memoir, which is available to anyone who wants to see it. it is very short period in the most -- anniversaries of -- it is very short. did he not end up paying dolley madison's bills at the end of her life? >> yes. she fell upon very hard times. when someone leaves the presidency, they're pretty much guaranteed someone to treat for the rest of their lives. but that was not the case during that time. so her friends and her family basically abandoned her. although she had -- although she did him wrong, he felt some compassion, some human compassion, and he writes in his memoir that he would often visit her and bring her food, probably give her some money when he had it. so he looked after her. by that time, by the mid-1840's or so, dolley madison was pretty up there in age. she had no one to look

he was enslaved to the madisons james and dolly. by the time he was 10 years old, he was working at the white house. this was good because he happened to be there in 1814 when the white house was burnt down when the british invaded and burnt the city down including much of what was in the white house. he was there on that day when further down the road, the british were burning and looting and headed to the waus. the white house staff both slave and unslave were trying to grab whatever they could. we know this story because in 1865, paul jennings wrote a short memoir. one of the first of someone that actually worked in the white house. he tell that's story of being at the bedside when james madison died. he also tells the story of how dolly madison reniged on the deal that he was supposed to be free after jachls passed. probably for financial reasons, dolly didn't release him immediately. he had to work and save to buy his freedom a few years later. >> i found that memoir. it's short. a number of stories come from there. at the end

strike down laws and in that in many ways he was echoing jefferson's arguments against marbury vs madison eighteen zero three. adams when he left the white house and eighteen hundred was basically packing the judiciary and the marshals and what not and and. marbury was supposed to have his commission a liver to him and jefferson told james madison don't deliver it and therefore it will be legal and he won't be able to be a just peace or whatever it was it was he and some are were sued marbury vs madison and jefferson had his own confrontation with the supreme court there in eighteen zero three and that was the case correct me if i'm wrong when the supreme court said we have the right to strike down laws in the constitution something that had never been done before and jefferson went nuts you know he said if the stands than the constitution's of thing with wax in the hands of a missionary how did how did roosevelt feel about that and then my follow up question out in advance of what other presidents of had the same kind of confrontation well this is as you have just explained this is a ver
