that is a pattern use all in cases like citizens united, be famous campaign finance case, mcdonnell bursa's the city of chicago -- mcdonald vs the city of chicago. let me put several generalizations on the table and we will see whether they stand up or not. i invite my colleagues to agree or disagree as they see fit. first is the conservative trend in the court, the importance of alito replacing o'connor on the court. someone did a study of the 44 justices who sat on the court since 1937. the six most conservative judges -- four are still serving on the present court. that report said roberts, alito, thomas, and [unintelligible] there have been some results that give the other way one case involving detainees -- i mentioned kennedy vs. louisiana. i think you can argue there is more of a correlation? there used to be between a justice on the court and the appointee on the court. one is struck by the idiosyncratic behavior of justices like black men, suitor, or stevens who turned out on the court over a period of time to be different from when they were first reported. it seems to me that is

one of the things that jeff and i are doing today is meeting with governor mcdonnell and a big launchis program, so virginia can start to increase their summer meals participation. >> and jeff, this is something -- i mean, you could have picked any cause. this is really something that you have invested a good part of your life, some three decades now in helping fight hunger. what is behind that? >> well, i guess just momentum has something to do with it. you know, being involved in it as long as i have. like you say. i have been involved in it since 1983, and back in those days, we were concerned about ending world hunger. but about, oh, 20 or so years ago, we shifted our attention to here in america, because hunger raised its head here in our country, and we -- you know, we felt we have to do something about our country here. >> does it surprise you that that's a problem here in a country that has so much? >> it is -- it's amazing to think of this -- you know, the wealthiest country in the world and having one in four of our kids struggling with hunger. it seems -- well, insane is th

in some of the important cases that term, like citizens united, the famous campaign finance case, mcdonnell versus the city of chicago, expanding gun rights to cities and states outside washington, d.c. that brings us up to the present time, which we will look at during the morning. it seems to me that let me put several generalizations on the table. we will see whether they stand up or not. i invite my colleagues to agree or disagree as they say fit. first, clearly, is the conservative trend in the court. the importance of alito replacing a car -- one political scientist did a study of the 44 justices who have sat since 1947. of the six most conservative justices, four still serving on the present court. they are roberts, alito, scalia, and thomas. but it is clearly episodic. there have been results the go the other way. there were at the result with the detainees and i mentioned the case versus louisiana. secondly, i think you could argue there is more of the correlation than there used to be between a justice on the court and the appointing president of that court. there was a time one w
