september 11th, 2001, we had 32 air marshals. now we're promised of thousands. i don't want to say the exact number. we need to deploy the air marshal technology, pilots have been trained to carry weapons, and we need to go back on some of the basic technology. some airlines have marshals on every airplane, they don't just rely on machines. they've taken out terrorists on flights with air marshals on the planes in flight. that's successful too. >> earlier reports said there was no air marshal on this particular flight. david schanzer, what should be done short of putting this kind of high-tech machine in every single airport checkpoint? >> well, with $100 billion you could buy a lot of international cooperation. the british took this individual off of the list of the visa people that could get into their country. so you'd need a lot more international cooperation. and that requires staffing, more people to review visa applications abroad, better watch listing procedures, more cooperation, intelligence. those in the long run will

air marshals and thank them for their service. they are peace officer, as we use that terminology in texas. they are law enforcement officers. we're gratified for that expertise this legislation will help them add to their portfolio in training on investigation. there's not a single action that would require their service that does not require us to have the details and information to bring individuals to justice. this is important. might i just add that federal air marshals have risen to the call of duty. federal air marshals came to new orleans, louisiana, during hurricane katrina. federal air marshals have been called upon in time of disaster and answered the call. i think it's important to note as we stand on the floor of the house to present this legislation to enhance their training that we appreciate their service. we thank them for the sacrifice of their families as they travel internationally on behalf of the american people. with that, i i would ask my colleagues to support this very important bill and yield back the bal

on the marshall plan, what was interesting about it was that when the marshall plan was first proposed, as a lot of you my remarkmight remember, it was not terribly popular. the public was split. what was interesting about how they did it was that rather than try to ram it through, what they did was allow for a lot of thoughtful legislative debates, and they sent a lot of the senators and others who were not quite convinced it was the right thing to europe to actually take a look at it. they also had a big public relations campaign where they would do town hall meetings and went across america to try to make the case for this. it was a huge effort. there were buttons and everything involved at that time. it was an exemplary process for how to go about that. when you look at these major initiatives, there are few successful initiatives that we found that actually were done on a strictly partisan basis. you had bipartisan cooperation and the majority of the american people behind it. hawke >> what are the back -- the best managed government programs? >> a lot of ranting and raving is don

marshall: i thank the speaker. this is an amendment which is identical to a bill passed by the house earlier this year in march. the bill permits what's referred to as cramdown in chapter 13 with regard to private home mortgages. it is intended to address this foreclosure crisis without taxpayers having to put money into the deal. it essentially forces the parties to the deal to deal with their problems without having vacancies and foreclosures in our neighborhoods. in that sense, it helps our lenders with real estate portfolios. it helps the individuals whose homes might be foreclosured upon and it actually helps the creditor who is forced into a chapter 13 process because in almost every instance their portfolio is improved by not having as many houses in foreclosure. and in almost every instance they get a better deal in a chapter 13 process than they would in a normal foreclosure process. we should have done this long ago. it would have helped the housing crisis and consequencely -- cons is he wently the econom

thurgood marshall. it is wonderful to see you.applause] i remember being humbled more than once by your lead, iconic husband. he knew how to ask a question, and i struggled to figure a way to answer. it is a great privilege to have you here. i would also add that the statute itself creating the office is pristine in its simplicity, describing a simple role, to assist the attorney general. the attorney-general, who's office was created in 19th 79 -- the office took a long time in -- created in 1879, and it took a long time in gestation. it was through federal law enforcement that it began to exist at all. but i was grateful for the attorney general, which would bring us to the political dimension of the job, politics versus wall -- law. but one of the most intriguing aspects was that occasionally the solicitor general will find themselves the acting attorney general for a particular matter, especially matters of national security, which we should not talk about except to say is one of the most intriguing parts of the job. and i fou

lot of good things came, the marshall plan. 20 years after that when we built the country that it bombed this comet doing well and of course germany and japan our world as trading partners and their political allies. less statistic you have 100 billion jobe's needed right now on the middle east over the next decade. so they calculate 60% of the population will be under the age of 25 at the end of the decade with the need for 100 million new jobs. how are you going to create 100 million jobs and money are losing 50 million jobs? as you said you don't know the ceo who is hiring so there's nothing more dangerous in the world than someone with no hope, no skills, no economic opportunity into much time. do you follow me? the real driver for the taliban, the recruiter is not the ideology. it is economics. so what i have said is we have

host: is there reports of air marshals flying on international plights? guest: one of the things we learned is there were not only 11 air marshals covering the country on 911 fen the exact number flying in the united states and bound for sove -- guest: but we also know we gist don't have enough air marshals to cover every flight or every flight of concern. so we need to beef up our air marshal ranks but also passengers need to be their own tomplee -- host: timothy in mobile, alabama. go ahead. caller: just a quick comment. i thought that osama bin laden was the master mind behind 9/11 and how do you register internal terrorism and -- on your list i saw a couple weeks ago homeland security was apologizing for having say like the nation of islam on a security list or for investigating them. and then they were saying they weren't supposed to. and what keeps people from driving in and going to an airport from out of the country. thank you. guest: on the first point, osama bin laden is the head of al qaeda and the number one iconic terror leader, but khalid sh

great story about the justices powell and marshall sitting during oral arguments do you think he realizes the rest of us are here because he starts to dominate the oral arguments and as you know this is a time the bench is filled with quiet justices. right now we have a so-called hot bench where the majority are very much active and firing questions at the lawyer whereas back in 1986 we had a group of mostly older justices who didn't ask a lot of questions. she comes on, only 50-years-old and he's quite aggressive from the bench. so that's the first -- was portales first of all the people out there understand an oral argument in the supreme court is 30 minutes per side, generally, why? and then what happens? >> guest: the lawyer for each side stands up and the justices -- usually start to present the case, and what happens today is that individual justices jump in and ask questions, try to make their own points on things and can be a vigorous affair, you can have 90 questions go body in an hour, very fast-paced, and

later second quarter, marshall was active. gives the ball to a fan in a marshall jersey. what to do. bring on the tears. the best moment of my life. marshall catches his 20th ball of the game. five yard touchdown. marshall set the record, 2 # 1 receptions in a single game, breaking terrell owens' record. manning gets play action. clark, third touchdown, colts. 13-0, 22 straight. colts' rookies have never lost in the nfl. >> curtis and collie and donald brown are living if a fantasy world. they come in here, they're undefeateded. i don't think they understand this is not really normal for the nfl. so, i kind of give them a hard time about that. but i guess those guys have never lost a game so i guess they can stick to that. i won three when i was a rookie. so they definitely have one up on the rest of us. >> at the end of the day, you know, we have a goal. our ultimate goal is to win games. i'll definitely trade in a couple of those catches for a win any time. so, yes, bittersweet. >> colt stay undefeated. >>> saints are 12-0, clinch a first round bye with a win in atlanta

but it is john marshall. he really does deserve primacy. he is the babe ruth of supreme court judging, a great batter and a great pitcher as well and he did dominate his court only one constitutional the cent in 34 years. my boss, william o. douglas, roddick constitutional dissent about every 44 minutes near the end of his career but they were short and often not very well thought out. and, of the title of my buck really does express its thesis, that the supreme court is highly influenced by the opinions of american elites, and there is no more elite group of americans than politicians for this purpose. the famous sadrist, peter finley dunn you the turn of the 20 a century had a great column with this fictitious the irish-american bartender, mr. duly and mr. dooley always speaks with his irish brogue which unfortunately i cannot imitate but his most famous of his statements referred to cases growing out of the spanish-american war, and the issue was, did the american constitution apply in the territories that we acquired from spain? and in

>> well, i got a phone call from rob marshall. one phone call and i said yes right away.is very short, my story. but, no, no, no. there is also another reason. is that the film was involved of course the life of fellini. many times, of course, before he died i was very, very close to do a film with him but as it happens in films, it never happened. so i was very happy to be involved in the life of fellini and beside the phone call from rob, which i adore, it's because i was very moved to be closer to my dearest friend fellini, which i think is the best -- he was the best director in town in the world you know. >> larry: great story. we are just getting started with the cast of "nine." much more right after the break. >> i'm sorry if i have given you a shock. >> if you can't change it, leave it. >> the only man i ever killed was for a memory. >> what are you going to do about it? >> i thank god he's dead. >> comes to the showdown. >> don't mind him. he used to be an irishman. >> larry: that was daniel day-lewis before he became guido in "nine." we will show you star turns

you find yourself in the solicitor general's office being more of an echo of john marshall then you doof john c. calhoun. you believe in the national economic union and our federal system. my personal one came in very early. after studying a position, a particular statute passed by the congress of the united states was facially unconstitutional. i could not take that position and we did not take that position. the most enjoyable part was the sense of community within the office. there was a sense that this was really special. we knew we would not be there for a very long time. i would say that erwin griswold said to me, not long after i was privileged to take the office, that there was not one thing long -- was only one thing and wrong. the office does not enjoy article 3 life tenure. i knew that i was on worthy and that he should be there -- on were the and that he should be there -- and were the -- unworthy and that he should be there. >> is there unanimity that justice marshall was right? thank you, everyone. >> the supreme court historical society hosted this discussion on tuesday

he saw them -- john marshall took the job seriously and served for three decades. he has stated that the court has the responsibility to review acts of congress for constitutionality. he established the court as one of the three coequal branches of government. >> who is the most influential modern chief justices? >> my predecessor had a great influence on how the court looked at legal questions. earl warren was famous for bringing the court together and decide and one of its most important decisions, brown vs. the board of education. >> how many justices did the earliest courts have? >> i think they started with six. it is an interesting thing. it was hard to bring them together. the very first session of the court had to be adjourned immediately because they did not have a quorum. the second time, they convened, they did some administrative business and adjourn pretty quickly because they did not have -- adjourned pretty quickly because it did not have any cases. the current number of nine was established shortly after the civil war. it has remained intact since t

and for us to start court marshalling people who capture a leader in al qaeda, who mutilated americans and hung them from a bridge and we're going to court marshall them for capturing this guy and punching him in the stomach and giving him a broken lip? this is crazy. we need to send a signal we're going to do whatever is necessary to protect our troops and protect the people of this country in this war against terror. and i hope that you'll be able to give me a satisfactory answer, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff as to why these gentlemen are being court marshalled. >> i have great faith in our judicial system. >> why are they being court marshalled. >> i have great leaders in the seal community that i have tremendous faith in. i await whatever that leadership recommends. i wouldn't be involved in anyway shape or form in those proceedings, it would be improper for me to get involved in anyway shape or format this point. >> let me follow up by saying, sir, i think it's improper that these men are being court marshalled. after capturing this guy in operation amber. and him having

thurgood marshall. it is wonderful to see you. your lead, iconic husband. he knew how to ask a question, and i struggled to figure a way to answer. it is a great privilege to have you here. i would also add that the statute itself creating the office is pristine in its simplicity, describing a simple role, to assist the attorney general. the attorney-general, who's office was created in 19th 79 -- the office took a long time in -- created in 1879, and it took a long time in gestation. it was through federal law enforcement that it began to exist at all. but i was grateful for the attorney general, which would bring us to the political dimension of the job, politics versus wall -- law. but one of the most intriguing aspects was that occasionally the solicitor general will find themselves the acting attorney general for a particular matter, especially matters of national security, which we should not talk about except to say is one of the most intriguing parts of the job. and i found i was called to do various projects, including wo

we wanted to look at the success of the marshall plan to the integration reform and vietnam. we reviewed all of these initiatives. we realized that it would require a small army of individuals who understood the government and were willing to work for free. the answer was clear. we needed cred students. [laughter] with of the help of more than 70 grad student, we -- we needed grad students. [laughter] we were looking for a path to success. my co-author and die each bring a different perspective to this issue. john is an engineer by training, and he developed a process map for making toast in the morning. like any good engineer, he said we need to look at this and break it down into discrete processes. while all of these initiatives were different, they followed a very predictable path, a journey to success. there are lots of ways that an initiative can end in disaster. but you must have a good idea. you must have unemployment doubled as i entered the design must win approval -- you must have on employman implementable. and it must win approval. [unintelligible] there must be

marshall: i appreciate that. you know, there's a thing called the tragedy of the commons, and it's a theoretical concept that applies in this particular case. it refers to the opening of common areas for grazing, and then those who have sheep come in and overfwraze that area. and the effect is not -- overgraze that area. and the effect is not that everybody got loftier, it's everybody got poorer. i am not interested in fooling around with me in bankruptcy court or anything like that. but combined creditors are advantaged by having fewer foreclosures on the market in a situation like this. having represented an awful lot of banks, having spent an awful lot of my life as a bankruptcy lawyer, law professor, commercial litigator, i'm absolutely convinced that i was wrong to initially reject this concept. that if we apply it now -- we should have done it a couple years ago -- but if we apply it now we'll catch an ongoing wave of foreclosures. it will help the individuals who can rescue their homes. it will lessen the

i would say just on the marshall plan, what was interesting about it is that when the marshall plan wasirst -- when it was first proposed, as a lot of you might remember, it was actually not terribly popular. the american public was really split about whether this made a lot of sense to put billions and billions of dollars into europe and all that effort. but what was interesting about how they did it was rather than try to ram it through or anything, what they did was they allowed for a lot of thoughtful legislative debate, and they actually sent a lot of the senators and others who were not quite convinced it was the right thing to send them to europe to actually take a look at it. and they involved them, but they had, what i thought was remarkable, a big hub relations campaign where they had town hall meetings and they went across america to try to make the case for this. it was a huge effort. there was buttons, everything involved in that time. and i think it was really an exemplary process for actually how to go about that, because when you look at these major initiatives like we d

georgia democrat jim marshall was a co-sponsor of the proposal. >> since this is only applicable to existing mortgages, it will have no effect on the cost of future mortgages, the beauty of it is we'll have fewer all of those folks will be helped by this without putting a single dime of taxpayer dollars in the deal, it seems to me that's a complete justification for doing this, we should've done it long ago. >> holman: but republicans, like virginia's bob goodlatte, rejected that argument. the gentleman may claim that it wont affect future borrowers but the fact of the matter is, if this can be done now for this purpose,he advocates for this legislation would like to see this made in the future a permanent provision in our bankruptcy laws and it will have the effect of causing interest rates to go up and credit to be less available. >> holman: the measure now goes to the senate, which is not expected to act until next year. while the house was winding up its work, the obama administration's so-called "pay czar" kenneth feinberg, was taking action of his own. he announced additional caps on s

and that's john marshall. he was the first person to take the job seriously. most lawyers, i think, have this image of him as the first chief. but he wasn't. he was the fourth. the three before him, each only served for a couple of years. didn't regard the court as an important institution. in fact, spent most of their time doing other things. john jay is famous for a treaty he did with the english. but john marshall saw the job differently. he served in it for three decades. he's responsible for establishing the principle that the court has the sthort and responsibility to review acts of congress for constitutionality. so he really established the court in a prominent position as one of the three co-equal branches of government. among the chief justices who was the most influential. >> chief justice rehnquist had influence on the court. earl warren famous for bringing the court together in deciding one of its most important decisions, brown vs. board of education. so i think the two of them would have to stand out among the modern chiefs. >> how many justices

on the marshall plan, what was interesting about it was that when the marshall plan was first proposedu my remarkmight remember, it was not terribly popular. the public was split. what was interesting about how they did it was that rather than try to ram it through, what they did was allow for a lot of thoughtful legislative debates, and they sent a lot of the senators and others who were not quite convinced it was the right thing to europe to actually take a look at it. they also had a big public relations campaign where they would do town hall meetings and went across america to try to make the case for this. it was a huge effort. there were buttons and everything involved at that time. it was an exemplary process for how to go about that. when you look at these major initiatives, there are few successful initiatives that we found that actually were done on a strictly partisan basis. you had bipartisan cooperation and the majority of the american people behind it. hawke >> what are the back -- the best managed government programs? >> a lot of ranting and raving is done on the radio.

marshall knows, when he serves as solicitor general, it's what solicitor general thurgood marshall thought because he in all his wisdom was eager to know what the different departments of agency thought and that process of inviting the different agencies into the conversation in connection with a call for the views of the solicitor general or any issue that is frequently the case touches more on say a single department or division of the justice department. >> i think we need to be clear about the fact that the solicitor general is a branch officer and there are occasions one would like to hope that they didn't happen on a regular basis where the solicitor general has to stand before the court and challenge things that the court has said or done. precedence before the court and they were not rightly decided and they have consequences that through the implementation of those decisions have not advanced the law in a way that certainly the executive branches thinks would be proper. so there's this tension. but i certainly try to keep in mind that there were matters that were executive branch

instead of a court marshall, the s.e.a.l.'s should be dispatched to go and kill another terrorist but that's not happening. they're going to be court marshaled because some terrorist supposedly got a bruised mouth. the s.e.a.l.'s in question are matthew mckay, he's a special operations petty officer, second class. petty officer jonathan keith and petty officer julio huertez are the three s.e.a.l.'s who are going to be court marshalled because some terrorist alleged they punched him in the mouth. it's ironic, mr. speaker, that the s.e.a.l.'s will be arranged next month -- monday -- arraigned next monday. december 7. december 7 everybody in the united states navy remembers that day. see, it's been 68 years ago sinls the navy and america was attacked on december 7 at pearl harbor. and now these individuals, ironically, will be arraigned that day. mr. speaker, you can imagine someone in world war ii, a soldier, ma a rin, somebody in the united states navy, being tried for punching an enemy combatant in the mouth during world war i

still essentially under marshall law by the serbs. and increasingly, a movement for independence of kosovo emerged among albanians and there's no doubt that the vast majority of albanians wanted independence. which is quite natural given the circumstances. initially this movement was led by a figure who advocated nonviolence as a technique modeling himself on martin luther king and gandhi. but by the mid-'90s, another group began emerging called the kosovo liberation army. which broke with the idea of nonviolence and insisted upon armed insurgency as a technique of liberation. the kosovo liberation army are i believe it important because these were the groups essentially that became america's allies during the 1999 war. it's worth looking at them a bit carefully. generally speaking they're presented in a positive light, we now know that basically they had many negative features. and in particular, the basic strategy of the kla was to attack serb civilians and policemen in isolated areas as a means of provoking the serbs into retaliato

william howard taft, stanley reed, robert jackson, and thurgood marshall. and two current justice served in the office of the solicitor general, chief justice john roberts with, and associate justice samuel alito. now justice marshal said that being solicitor general was quote, the best job he ever had and he had some good jobs. i hope we'll learn this evening if our panel agrees with justice marshal's statement. gentlemen, let me begin by asking paul as the most recent occupant of the office of the solicitor general, to briefly explain the job of the solicitor general in today's justice department and if it's possible to do so, to describe what an average day is like in the life of the solicitor general? >> i would be happy to try, ken. i think as to the average day in the life of the solicitor general, there probably isn't an average day and that is part of what makes the job so interesting and so fascinating. the job's basic responsibility in a nutshell, i think is to probably start with the most public role of the solicitor general and that is, his repr

know unless he went to look it up and i think in the late -- early 1990's when justice thurgood marshall'spapers became available and it was a big deal to lawyers and other observers, people started living of these but as a matter of routine only law professors and some journalists such as myself spent a lot of time in newspapers. >> host: and i think -- so they keep a secret but than after they leave this planet to the papers become available and you can figure out a lot of things that happen. >> guest: some of the justices don't and i had a justice -- the conversation with sandra day o'connor and she said directly to not hold your breath. get on with your life. >> host: and justice souter said it's going to be a long time. >> guest: it's a shame, from his but if you he thinks it's nobody's business and i think fellow justices are happy because when they send a note to a colleague did like to keep it quiet i think but for a journalist it's great because then you know what was going on and gives you insight into the finished product were all you see is the final law of the land which obvio

marshall moses kind of a lemon in the last game. >> marques: the whole testing thing is interest. oklahoma state is going to test them with stanford. >> barry: anderson taking the basket and reach-in foul. >> marques: he gets into the body of landry fields. he's the top offensive player from each team going at it. that's just great man-to-man defense. oklahoma state, a lot of times teams back off on that denial about two or three seeds to protect against penetration. oklahoma state wants to make contact. full on contact with that offensive player at all times. >> i think it will be a great match-up to watch all night long, fields and anderson. i suspect they'll both get theirs. >> marques: you're right. it's going to be how else it steps up. they have to contribute offensively and keaton page, what kind of page does he have to keep the basketball. >> barry: pressure by the cowboys. mann will bring it across. >> marques: a loot of size for stanford in the backcourt. a little miscommunication. turnover to mann. >> barry: second turnover for the cardinal. >> marques: snapping about 1

compared to some who received the prize, schweitzer and king ammann marshall, and mandela.and beaten in the pursuit of justice. those who toiled in humanitarian organizations to relieve suffering. the unrecognized millions whose quiet acts of courage and compassion, and speier even the most hardened cynics. i cannot argue with those who find these men and women, some known, some obscure to all but those that helped, to be far more deserving of this honor that i. but perhaps the most profound issues surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that i am the commander in chief of the military of the nation in the midst of two wars. one of these wars is winding down. the other is a conflict that america did not seek. one in which we are joined by 42 other countries, including norway. in an effort to defend ourselves and all nations from further attacks. still, we are at war. and i'm responsible for the deployment of thousands of young americans who battle in a distant land. some will kill and some will be killed. and so i come here with the acute sense of the costs of arme

marshall. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> on the one hand, the witnesses have been talking about intercepting jihadists who are on the internet sort of looking for guidance and being there at the right time to interject the right observation. you could do with a number of different ways. it could be an open and honest, hey, this is how it works, or it could be the right, of people who could interject the great quotes and passages. that is intercepting the budding jihadists. and then the concept that perhaps a war room, properly funded staff, could engage leadership, militant jihadist leadership in such a way that is attractive, and they spend a lot of time poking holes and ideology instead of recruiting and executing a tax. in both instances, you said war room. how'd you get people to come to the war room? compel them, send out a worldwide edict? you must pay attention to what we're doing on this website? it occurs to me that al-jazeera is missing a huge opportunity to grow its market share. i don't know why al-j

this firm is incredibly significant because in this room at this table, but the first draft of the marshalllant were created. but this is also where the truman doctrine originated. we know that this is where the president signed documents committed american troops to the korean war. it's also where he made the final decision to fire mccarthy. it was the scene of many famous midnight poker games. there was a time president truman and this was the primary and dining room. this is where they had dinner with princess elizabeth and stritch tolchurchill and countl. >> sometimes, i would have dinner alone. i walked into the dining room. necktie. would pull out my chair encourage bring me a fruit cup. takes away the empty cup. they bring me a plate. they bring me a tenderloin. margaret brings me carrots and beets. i have to eat alone in a candle lit room. >> this is another special room. this is trimming's officuman's . the portrait of chairman we have is by the painter who painted the official portrait of the president. she copy of the original work for blair house car during the reagan and renova

marshall of georgia, for five minutes.the speaker pro tempore: gentleman from georgia is recognized for five minutes. mr. marshall: i don't think it will take me five minutes to cover this one. the resolution simply congratulates the warner robbins little league world softball team on winning the 2009 little league softball world series. their victory follows fairly hard on the heels of a victory in 2007 by the warner robins little league boys team and the little league world series. baseball series. and so it's quite a treat that warner robins now is the only city in the united states that has had teams successful on both the girls sides and boys side as little league world champions. i think it's particularly poignant that not only do all members of the georgia delegation co-sponsor as original co-sponsors, this bill, but many members of congress are also a co-sponsor of this bill. i want to specifically recognize debbie wasserman schultz. she at the time that she signed on to the bill was suffering from an injury that s

that end up being a big barrier to doing things that smoothly. >> let's talk about the marshall plan. a lot about it. it is a quintessential example that you use. you refer to it as an example of a successful government program. might not be obama stimulus plan be a modern-day version of the marshall plan, but, this time, it is actually for us? >> i had not thought of it that way. on the marshall plan, which was interesting about it is that, when it was first proposed -- a lot of you might remember -- it was not terribly popular. the american public was really split on whether this made sense to put billions and billions of dollars into europe and all that effort. what was interesting about how they did it was that, rather than try to ram it through, they allow for a lot of thoughtful legislative debate. daschle said in a lot of senators and others -- they actually sent a lot of senators and others to europe to look at it. then called them. -- they can call them. they had big town hall meetings and went across -- they involved with them. they had big town hall meetings and went across

speaker, marshall law in the house of representatives is hardly change that we can believe in.yet another irony in today's debate is that the democrat majority has suddenly found religion by championing so-called pay-go rules. this is occurring at the very same time they are proposing to spend another $150 billion and even as they have voted it to increase the debt limit. we passed the debt limit, spend another $150 billion. not long ago small business in america was the backbone and the life blood of our national economy. today higher taxes and excessive government regulations have small business in a strangle hold and that's even before congress puts its stamp of approval on government-run health care. with all this reliance on uncle sam why don't we just put everyone in the united states on the federal government payroll and call it a day? in essence, that's what this fatally flawed process attempts to do. according to transportation weekly, even if you -- "transportation weekly," even if you only count title 1 as an appropriations bill it would still be the third largest f.

that was a backwards pass to marshall and well-played. by hanson. it's a loss of four. we've seen him do a pretty good job against these screens. this is the second one, diagnosises it so fast. lloyd not able to get a hand on him to stop him from making a tackle. jim: third down coming up. third and 13. from here it would be a 51-yard field goal try to tie it. orton getting knocked down. he got it away in time, short of the first. it will make it a little easier for prater. buckhalter takes it for five. phil: those are big yards. kyle orton was trying to go down the field but the quick pressure. what a good job getting rid of it, seeing the running back coming out of the backfield. just makes a field goal kicker mentally just feel better. of course, the shorter the kick is. jim: berate -- prater from 46 yards to tie the game. the kick is good! dead center. 27-27 with 17 unanswered by the broncos. phil: no doubt about this one, right down the middle. jim: lonnie paxton, the long-time patriot. long snapper from 2000 through last year. sent it back to berger. got it down t

incredibly significant, because in this room, at this table, the first concept and the first draft of the marshalle created. this is also where the truman doctrine originated. we know that this is where the president signed documents that committed american troops to the korean war. out's also where he made the final -- it's also where he made the final decision to fire mcarthur, and it was the scene of many of his famous midnight poker games. during the time that president and mrs. truman lived here, this was their primary dining room. this is where they would have hosted dinner with princess elizabeth, with churchill and count l others. -- countless others. >> sometimes i would have dinner alone. i'd walk into the dining room. one of the butlers was one of my servants, too. he would pull out my chair, push me up to the table, bring me a fruit cup. takes away the empty cup. fields brings me a plate. barnett brings me a tenderloin. fields brings me asparagus, barnett brings me carrots and beets. i have to eat alone and in silence in a candle-lit room. ♪ >> this is another very special room to blai

twitter message who writes," i thought we were going to train thousands of people to become air marshalsthis sounds like a good opportunity for employment." our line for independence in detroit, go ahead. caller: i believe the real issue that we are overlooking in this, how can they get on the planet depends security? i believe that this is designed to target a new group of individuals. we will use a different section of profiling instead of just saying that the muslims coming into america. now it is the nigerians. this is all designed to be a smokescreen. once i heard was detroit, i knew the media would take advantage of this. we have national security. they had an article not long ago hear about detroit. detroit is constantly getting badgered. that is my comment. one guy who had a feeling for security. that is a profiling, to preveno. if you have suspicions, you pull people over. this is designed. host: officials describe the device as incendiary rather than explosive, pending tests by forensic experts at the fbi. incendiary devices usually deliver less impact than explosive devices. t

they are called in by the marshal. it is a very formal entry, and everyone rises to show respect. then the gavel is pounded and people sit down and the court is called into session. it is always very ceremonial. the building is majestic, and the procedures are high ceremony, very traditional. nothing informal and modern about the way the court conducts its proceedings. very, very traditional, but i like it that way. i would not change it. i have never heard and advocates say they would like to see the court proceeding modernized in some way. it just in still see enormous respect for the institution and the processes. a lot of reverence for the court. >> it is a very powerful experience. i think everyone feels it, even people who have been before the court many, many times still get a rush when it happens. one of the lawyers on my staff, quite a good lawyer, i went to him when i was new in the office and said, how do you feel when you argue? do you have butterflies? >> he said, i do, but i decide is like playing ball. you are nervous until the first hit. after that, it is fine. >>

the spirit that has descended on the senate is one described by chief justice john marshall back in the burr trial, those malignant and vindictive passions which rage in the bosoms of con tending parties struggling for power. two-time pulitzer prize winner captured this in an essay called the paranoid style. vindictive passions often arise, he points out when an aggrieved minority believes that america has been taken away from their kind. though they are determined to try to repossess it and try to prevent the final destructive act of subversion. does that sound familiar, madam president, in this health debate? 40 years ago he wrote that. hoffstetter continued those aggrieved fear what he described as the now familiar conspiracy. familiar then. 40 years ago. persistent now. whose supposed purpose hoffstetter is to bring the economy under the direction of the federal government and to pave the way for socialism. again, familiar words here today. more than 50 years ago he wrote of the dangers of an aggrieved right-wing minority with the power to create what he called a political climate i

john marshall, when he became chief justice, have no constitutional authority for declaring half of thestate laws on constitutional. nothing in the constitution gives the supreme court the right to declare laws on constitutional. it does give converse the right to pass the laws that negative state law we put it doesn't get supreme court that right. and every supreme court, every president and africom chris, every senate and house of representatives has usurped power is not granted by the constitution. sadly most of them do indeed think as our former vice president said the constitution's are a current document but it is impractical at times of emergency and in practical in day-to-day politics. thank you very much for coming.

i was working after that on a book on world war ii a triple biography of macarthur, marshall and eisenhower who were interconnected during world war ii. chapter 11 dealt with a battle of the bulge. it became so long that it was on balancing the book. and so i took out chapter 11 and wrote 11 days in december about the battle of the bulge which happened to end the day after christmas. it became in effect the third christmas book. writing about the war again i began a book which i am still working on on the reelection of abraham lincoln in 1864. lincoln didn't expect to get reelected. he fought with a war going badly he was going to be free place and he was very fatalistic about it. it turned out the soldier boat during the war the first time there was a soldier vote for the presidency in wartime helped to re-elect lincoln and it turned out working on that that the election of lincoln made it possible for general sherman to leave atlanta and head to the sea to savannah which he hoped to get to buy christmas. he wouldn't do it because at the first because he thought if lincoln were not really

of these world wars coming out of europe so they made a decision to set a long-term goal with the marshallnd democrats and republicans worked together for decades and now europe is unifying with peace and prosperity and we haven't had another world war come out of europe. that is part of the benefit of having this long-term thinking. we have that capacity. and now we have got to use that capacity. in the conclusion of the book, i sketched out two scenarios, whether we make it or whether we don't, i think we are going to make it. i am optimistic. because if we were to just take the benefits of all the hard work and sacrifice of previous generations and exploit them fully in our lifetime to the point where nothing was left and give the back of our hand to future generations, that would be the single most immoral act by any generation of human beings that has ever been alive on this planet.
