those were recommended to ed meese and ed meese then went on and recommended antonin scalia to the president. >> but you also say in your book that sandra day o'connor was not the best choice in your opinion? >> that was five years earlier. what i argue there is this. for a president who wants to make the most impact, leave the strongest legacy in terms of judging on if supreme court, he is wise to maximize his nominating power by selecting someone who best represents the judicial philosophy he wants. whether it's liberal or conservative, or however you wish to describe it. in 1981, reagan didn't do that. he made a campaign promise where he said i'll appoint to one of my first vacancies. first vacancies leaves a lot of wiggle room. it was not treated that seriously by the journalists who followed him. in the next few months when the vacancy came open, robert bork, for example, was high on the list with the -- that the justice department had. he could have been easily confirmed. i think we'd have a different court had he been confirmed. >> go back to the selection process again and how you al

but meese the if i can describe it. it is in the southern corner of the map that i'm describing now. it is between clarendon and johnstone. right around there. it is a 35-person block. >> it goes beyond that point. >> i was looking at clarendon. that is somethign different. i would look at what is inside. >> is the block immediately to the west. not the second. i think that is the block. >> that is a population of 35 people. >> the proposal or purpose of this proposal? >> i know the direction. the purpose as in why. >> geographically, they are connected to 7. >> i would counter by saying the block to the west and the east also face clarendon. i am ok with brit is. >> the population and resulting deviations? >> the population is 35 people. the deviation for district 5 would be 1.96%. >> i would like to see the west of twin peaks labor quit later. >> -- neighborhood layer. >> i think we had heard testimony from the twin peaks improvement association with that. they saw twin peaks boulevard as being a strong border. >> the

. >> item #3, ordinance approving an -- agreements, permits, and meese. supervisor cohen: this item is the culmination of significant community-based planning and efforts on behalf of the mission bay, and the city for the design of the fourth street plaza. many of you know, ucsf is constructing a health complex to provide outpatient and inpatient care to children, cancer patients, and women. the first phase is currently undergoing construction and expected to open in early 2015. one of the key elements of this new hospital is the creation of a vibrant public plaza on the portion of the unbuilt fourth street in mission bay. the plaza on fourth street will provide an opportunity to create a warm and welcoming civic space for all to enjoy. the document before you today will help facilitate the construction of the plaza. i would like to bring up a spokesman from the department of public works who will give us a brief overview of the project. there are a few technical amendments that are proposed in this ordinance. >> good afternoon. i thought i would show you

meese is running out of ideas on this one. >> that is right.own at the plaza, a gateway to san fransisco for commuters and tourists but these days there's a new site on the street that just won't go away. here is the story. >> san fransisco, home of the golden gate bridge and fisherman's wharf and of course this. most recently the city made national news when the escalator bottom of this downtown bart station had to call in a hazardous materials team because the bottom is being used as a toilet by the homeless. >> obviously, after people read about it, myself included, is disgusted me. >> the question is, what can you do about it? >> i know that we have answers, but it takes time. >> the fact is the city has been a lot of time and a lot money on the homeless. over $1 billion in the past 10 years on shelters, transitional housing, medical and social services. and they're still spending money at a rate of $225,000 per day. the result? according to the city's 2011 count, we have over 3000 people still living on the streets. 400 more than the previ

the ed meese justice department in the '80s and a house conservative and liberal administration, witnessed the nixon impeachment. and i don't like either one. would rather be right in the middle of the road administration. had to get my own administration. >> tell us about working with hillary rodham. >> very close relationship. very decent. she's just a very decent person. and if i recall correctly on the occasion when i got in the middle and john dohr himself got frowney faced with me, which he shouldn't have, by the way. i was doing my duty. i think hillary intervened and defended me on that, and i've never forgotten that. >> frowny face? he got frowny faced? >> yeah, he did. he said, i should have known about this. how did this happen? >> tell us about what happens -- you were -- you were going to tell us the story of what happened after this experience. years later. >> well, you know, this was the beginning of a lifelong career in litigation and politics from me. i went back to my law firm, transferred from the corporate department to litigation. ran for state attorney general in 1978

but i think with public pressure and the fact that so many of meese republicans have consistently, loudly past we got a chance again with strong citizen participation to move them off the kind of position of convenience that they're in now and back to the position of principle that they had always held. >> eliot: how many republican votes do you need to get closure on this, 60 being the magic number in the senate. i gather you need least seven republican votes, and do you think you can actually get them? >> yes, we would need seven and it's too early to tell whether we'll get them or not. it will depend on whether one or two republicans will break ranks, and that will open up the gates for others to move behind them and what the response is from the american public. if you care about this? if you think that secret money has no place in our democracy. if you suspect the motives behind it, and you feel we have the right to know what these motives are, which you can only know by knowing who gave the money, let your voice be heard. get out there and get involved on the groups supporting it. s

80s and '90s and one of the most iconic moments came in 1988 when sportscaster jimmy the greek made meese comments and played back by cnn's larry king? take a listen to this. >> black is a better athlete to begin with because he has been bred to be that way because of hi his high thighs and big thighs that go up into his back and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs, you see. the white man has to overcome that. but they don't try hard enough to overcome it. this goes back all the way to the civil war when during the slave trading the owner, the slave owner would -- would -- would -- would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big -- a big black kids. >> another nobel prize winner there. >> you're just going just stop and don't say it. jimmy was probably fired from cbs for his comments. michael is a sportscaster guys. should he be fired? i guess you're going to weigh in next. stand by. mine was earned off vietnam in 1968. over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to

trying to say is that if you look at the choices we face going forward, my experience better equip meesee and make, you know, make policy that will improve your life as an average american. the governor has a very different argument. that is a real argument that goes beyond distraction. and maybe some of these are, you know, some of the issues are elevated or blown up. but the core issue is a real one. whose side -- what does your experience qualify you in terms of understanding the lives of average americans? >> americans are going to come to the conclusion when they look at this white house that doesn't know how to manage lemonade stand and look at the disaster of the country is in, they are going to pick the guy that's going to be able to fix their personal problems of unemployment or sister or brothers unemployment orr their uncle or aunt's unemployment or their kids' unemployment. when it comes down to that, the obama administration fails woefully. it is a disaster. they have created four years of nothing in america. they have to stand up and be responsible for that. if you want to

just to put things in perspective, we have the iib figures which came in at a meesely 2.4%. you remember that it was a contraction for the past two months, then came in at 2.4%, indicating that the trend in terms of growth still remains extremely weak. the other data point which the rbi will be watching out for will be the consumer price index, which is basically the cpi data, which has been ticking higher as opposed to the pricing index, the wpi, which is about 10%. so the cpi will be the big factor that the rbi will be looking at quite clearly, considering it was something which they spoke about quite aggressively in the previous policy as well. so, all in all, it seems like the rbi possibly won't move on 31st of july and keep its powder dry for forthcoming data points. with that, it's back to you. >> we'll keep an eye on that, ekta. thanks very much. >>> glaxosmithkline will announce a deal to acquire human genome sciences. reuters claims the company accepted an offer at about $14 a share in cash. the pharmaceutical giant had previously offered $13 a share. the news agenc

. >> let's go with meese, and watt, and oliver north.ber surprise. >> yeah. but cliff i think again it is really important in this year of the 99% and 1% and romney being with their nominee that to me is the main thing. many, many economies that were on the right have said it didn't work, and that's the same thing they are selling this year aren't they? >> that's correct. and one of the things we did on our video -- bill clinton had a remarkably better economic record than ronald reagan. so the republicans however say that the way to economic, you know salvation is through reagan's combination of tax cuts, trickle-down economics and the like. no one -- do people know that bill clinton's policy, which included deficit reduction. slightly higher tax rates for wealthy people investment in infrastructure, created a much better economic system. so you have to put out there the truth which is that reagan's policies were not as successful as clinton's policies were and the idea that if obama tries to do anything that's proactive, he was getting

>> well, former attorney general ed meese and i pen adler to four governors who had vetoed voter i.d.t passed both houses of the the legislatures, we asked them not to stand in the way to this common sense practical approach making sure that none of the legal ballots cast were negated by fraudulent ballots. the representatives or the people had spoke annen their notion that this was a step to protect against voter suppression was not supported by the facts in states where voter i.d. was the law and the practice. >> now, you're referring it states like georgia and we have some information we can throw up here on the screen for you. interestingly in georgia it was voted not to suppress the votes of whites and blacks, went up in that state and latinos there a different story there in georgia. is that enough evidence? you know what liberals are saying in cities hike philadelphia and states like pennsylvania you could see as much as 40% lower turnout on the democratic side as a result of this. what do you say to that? >> that is just not the case. and in georgia, indiana, and other states

[laughter] and having done that, thank you, general meese, for that gracious introduction.'m sure you all understand that because of my position i'm not going to be offering any personal views today about the court's decisions or the term. i'm going to stick pretty close hi to what the government said in its briefs and in the argument and the summary of the court's rulings. i'll kick us off by touching initially on three cases; the health care case, the arizona immigration case and united states against alvarez. on health care at this point, it's not clear how much i can add to what everybody already knows given the saturation coverage of the last couple of weeks. i think it's safe to say that everybody knows that the court upheld the affordable care act's minimum coverage provision which, and the insurance reforms of which it's a part which will make affordable insurance coverage available to millions of people who cannot now obtain the health insurance they need to gain access to the health care system. everyone knows that the court also held that congress has the authori
