marsha, what are your thoughts on the jury that was selected?i do believe there are aspects of them that are helpful to the prosecution and there are aspects that are extremely and unquestionably helpful to the defense. the fact that many have guns or guns in the family is very helpful to the defense. it means they are much less likely to be disproving of zimmerman's possession of a gun that day. the fact the racial make up is in zimmerman's favor. to the degree they are mothers of children. i think that can be helpful to the prosecution. how helpful is the big debate. the fact that most of them are married and live in the community gives them a sense of involvement in the case and an investment in the protection of their community as well. that might tend to favor -- that could go either way. it just depends on the other factors. >> let me ask you, you're a consultant on jurors. what do you see in this? >> marsha brings up great point. the fact that you have primarily a female jury panel. the fact of the matter is we know that the defense is go

let's go back to 1953 with marsha blackburn.ress" that women don't want equal pay. jim is reading some ads from the -- >> benson and hedges. a woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke. >> really? >> it is a man's world. the ideal gift for all occasions. oh darling how lovely. i've longed for bottling outfit for years. >> what? >> and various car ads. women can't drive you see. in stephanie's case, that's true. >> stephanie: i hit the stereotype. >> here's a fun one. do you still beat your wife? maybe you never should have stopped. read why in the educational booklet entitled why you should beat your wife written by an emmanent practitioner. send a self-addressed envelope. >> green stamps there? >> probably. >> stephanie: picture of a man spanking his wife because -- >> if your husband ever finds out you're not testing for fresher coffee -- >> what's store testing? >> stephanie: you pointed out i kind of like it. >> if he discovers you're still taking chances and -- >> stephanie: i forgot to store test again. bad girl. o

marsha, there is expert testimony who is screaming in that 911 call. how important do you think this is to the prosecution's case? >> i think it's very, very important to the prosecution's case. pardon the expression the smoking gun. the person screaming if it's determined to be trayvon martin it makes it clear he was not the aggressor and george zimmerman murdered him or goes a long way towards establishing that. the thing is, anderson, without an expert you'll have the people on the jury determining whether they believe it was trayvon martin's voice or zimmerman's anyway and you have the neighbor's lay opinion who said, as you saw on the tape piece, that he believed it sounded like trayvon martin's voice, a younger voice and he was there, and that might actually be the most reliable testimony of all. but at the end of the day, what is so critical about this ruling, is because it add so much weight -- may, may add so much weight that it was trayvon martin screaming, if the ruling is incorrect and zimmerman is convicted, it may be overturned on appeal

i was laughing with marsha about this. that the preview language before opening statement, someone can act as editor beforehand, say you can say this word, can't say that word. my experience is you make your opening statement. if you go over the line, somebody objects, it is argumentative, motion to strike, that's it. so i don't quite understand it. the idea that race is an elephant in the room as sunny says couldn't be more true. that's why i think the jury selection and demographic tilts towards the defense. i don't think the prosecution likes this. >> i think the racial dimension proposes such an interesting issue for the defense. how does the defense deal with it? does zimmerman's lawyer come out and call witnesses and say you know some of his best friends are african-american, which apparently may be true, but does that -- is that too much? do you wind up offending the jury? i think the defense is put in a very difficult position, if their client is accused of being a racist. how do you respond to that? i don't know t

>> well, because as marsha said, if you do that, it turns out this is junk science, which by the way,tely junk science. then the -- some appellant court, that could have been the determination why he was found guilty and therefore we'll reverse it. i'll tell you, however, we're in florida and this is reminisce of casey anthony case and wanted to talk about the human remains smell in the trunk, and i remember thinking at the same time that that was total junk science. so i don't understand what's in the water down there that the prosecutors are drinking because they bring in these people who are thoroughly discredited by the scientific establishment and try to present that as their case in chief. it really is mind boggling because as you saw on the tape piece marsha referred to, they say this is junk and it's up to the judge to be the gate keeper and keep this junk out of the jury's hands. >> marsha, do you agree it's junk? >> i am not sure, anderson. it may be. i'm not an expert in this field. i do know the experts have said that you don't tell whose voice it is when they are screamin

again, marsha blackburn is supposed to be their best at talking about this. it's not actually like that idea is too weird for what's going on in republican politics right now. remember the bill from january in new mexico in the republicans there had this bill, victims of sexual assault could be charged with a felony if they sought an abortion after rape or incest. the felony you would be charged with was, "tampering with evidence." a third degree felony. you could get a sentence of up to three years in prison for tampering with the rapist's evidence that happened to find its way into your body. the republican who introduced that in new mexico is a lawyer. it's hard to know what happens next here. it has been a whirlwind few years of republican activism in this part of policy. now today the house passed a federal abortion ban that the antiabortion side is calling the biggest deal in federal legislation in ten years. this is not the first time they acted at the federal level. this is something like the tenth time republicans in the house voted for antiabortion

instead co-sponsor marsha blackburn of tennessee will be in charge.he told craig melvin today that it's what the people want. >> this is something that the american people have said you need to do something about this. women have said you need to do something about these late-term abortions. it is -- there's a tremendous amount of public support for taking an action, for putting a ban on these late-term abortions. >> joining me now is nbc capitol hill correspondent kelly o'donnell. kelly, we are now starting, as we pointed out, the set of the rules here. what's been the reaction? you're hearing even some republicans who are cautious or worried about this direction of this bill? >> reporter: knowing that this would get so much attention because it is one of the most passion-inspiring issues in the country, there are some republicans and some leadership aides who would prefer this not be happening now to focus national attention on it because there are other matters that they know might have a greater likelihood of going somewhere in terms of legislatio

trent franks was in charge of this bill, but they brought out marsha blackburn to manage it on the housely added a rape exception, because they didn't want to seem insensitive to rape survivors. to me, the core misogyny of the bill remains and the arguments have to be made on the merits. but when people were ask welcome, why did the republicans bring this bill? the answer is, one, here's something their entire caucus agrees on. two, they are used to having republicans be on the offense on abortion rights and democrats turn and run. but that is not what happened. democrats really stood back on this and they called it -- they didn't run scared about social conservatives, they said, you know, this is insensitive to weapon. and you had the same sort of grassroots energy in texas, that really people are pushing back and saying, yes, fine, this is uncomfortable later abortions, but we still have to push back. >> part of it for me feels that this idea of marsha blackburn standing there, her being the face of it. and again, my real sadness this week around serena williams and her comments about

i wondered why marsha blackburn would be managing the bill when she is not on the committee. i realized there is not a female republican on the judiciary committee, and did not have a woman to manage the bill, and had to turn to someone else to get a woman republican. wexler has been been the reaction from democrats? >> the democrats hate it. they point out, among other things, it is unconstitutional, which republicans acknowledge. the supreme court has been pretty clear that abortions cannot be banned before fetal viability, and pretty much everybody agrees is 23 weeks and later of pregnancy. since this pushes it back to 20 weeks, an appeals court a few weeks ago struck down a similar arizona law. that what they are by putting this bill forward, in addition to making a political statement about how much americans do not like abortions later in pregnancy -- what they are saying is they are hoping that if it should pass and get to the supreme court -- unlikely, given the makeup of the senate, the fact that the president is unlikely to sign it -- should it somehow get to the su

earlier today, on msnbc, congresswoman marsha blackburn who is cosponsoring this bill is managing the debate was asked whether bringing this bill up when it has zero chance of getting past the senate or getting a signature is actually pandering to the christian right. let's listen. >> no, it isn't pandering at all. it's saving the life of women and of babies pandering? absolutely not. i can't believe you would say something like that. my goodness. >> pandering. i just said it again because michael makes the point and we have made the point this is not going to get through the senate which is pro-choice basicall so they know you're paying attention to them without doing anything. >> it's feeding people politically. they think they're smart, they're really clever. they now put a woman's face on their anti-women agenda. i want to praise our colleague craig mehlman, he handled that situation very well. she is someone who went on "meet the press" two or three weeks ago and said that women don't want pay equity bills. i mean, she down the line opposes contraception down the line, opposes pa

marsha blackburn was on our show yesterday and he led the debate on the house abortion bill and one of her points she said she hoped the bill would crack down on rapists, take a listen to this -- >> we can rid our society of these perpetrators who carry out these crimes, many times repeatedly on their victims. >> how do you -- how do you fight rapists with an abortion bill? >> what we are seeking to do is fight the this and to end this practice of late-term abortion which is killing these babies, which is harming women. >> so, the congresswoman was talking about perpetrators, she was really meaning the abortion providers when she said they carry these out over and over again. >> yeah, thomas, i think the incoherent nature of the congresswoman's remarks really represents the mask slipping off of the republicans who are pushing these kinds of bills. look, after the 2012 elections, polls showed that well over 70% of the people in this country of voters want roe versus wade to remain the law of the land. the bill that just passed in the republican-controlled house is a bill that is intende

. >> marsha blackburn thinks she speaks for america, but she does. a large base respects eric holder and their support gets stronger every time they hear the rhetoric that you played at the top of this show. i thought you were playing some old tape from their attacks on susan rice. the language is almost identical about that incompetent, not intelligent, not bright. so there is a tinge of disrespect that gets people's backs up. i want to go on the record, i'm concerned about the targeting of the a.p., i'm concerned about naming james rosen a potential co-conspirat co-conspirator. there are concerns about that element of what the justice department is up to. but these attacks on eric holder most are substance free and always pushing the envelope to a level of disrespect that's not about his performance. >> congresswoman, senator john kernen was attacking eric holder during a hearing in june of 2012. listen to this to give you an idea of the kind of disrespect that has alarmed some of them. >> you won't cooperate with legitimate congressional investiga

. >> let's dig deeper with the criminal defense attorney and marsha clark former district attorney and author of killer ambition. so you say you can see why both sides might want a jury made up entirely of women. why is that from the defense and prosecution standpoint? >> anderson, there is something for both sides when women are involved. from the prosecution said, women, especially mothers, five of the six are mothers, the hope is they will feel invested in trayvon martin, someone that could have been their son out there that night. but from the defense point of view, they like the idea of women, women who have had guns in their lives and family because women are more likely to identify with the tear in a neighborhood that's been victimized by burglaries and feel like george zimmerman is kind of a protector of theirs, and so appreciate what he was trying to do. so women have something to give for both sides of this lawsuit. at the end of the day i'm not surpriseed to see it was an all female jury. >> what do you think because i heard people say most of the women, five out of the six
