megyn? megyn: just want to add a little bit more for our viewers now having reviewed the whole letter. again, as i say, they make clear they believe the courts have the power of judicial review, they acknowledge it's been in existence for 200-plus years. then they say that power may only be exercised in appropriate cases, and the supreme court has recognized that. and then they go on to say, quote -- this is eric holder -- while duly recognizing the court's authority to engage in judicial review, the executive branch has often urged courts to respect the legislative judgments of congress. these principles of deference are fully applicable when congress legislates in the commercial sphere. so, clearly, the attorney general is going on to sort of provide some talking points, some context for what president obama has been saying this week. not necessarily applicable in his litigation, but then he was forced to make comments in his litigation that he didn't expect to have to make in the wake of

megyn: how do they know?> look, i think you're right that on both sides it's inappropriate to rush to judgment here, and i don't think that reverend sharpton or reverend jesse jackson or anyone is disappointed by this, and i think the most important person we can cite is trayvon martin's mother who said this is all we wanted, an arrest and a trial. we have to be very clear on all sides of this debate that justice is not an outcome, justice is a process. the appropriate thing to have happen in this was a trial. anyone looking at this even without the benefit of the facts that the prosecutor had should look and say, you yourself said it, it looked like he should be arrested and there should be a trial. now, i want to disagree with david that we would not be at this point had there not been the public to tests -- megyn: well, that's true. >> right. megyn: sharpton, i had to give it to him yesterday, he said a decision appeared to have been made not to charge the case, that's when people got upset. >> and i also

megyn. as you said, the obama ripped into the republican budget authored by paul ryan but went much further than just disagreeing it, he painted a picture of cruel cuts to critical programs. >> the year after next, nearly 10 million college students would see their financial aid cut by an average of more than $1000 each. >> reporter: the president went on from there, 2 million mothers and young children would be cut from a program offering healthy food, hundreds of national parks, forced to close all or part of the year, cuts to the faa would result in flight cancellation, he said, even the complete elimination of air traffic control in parts of the country, even weather forecasts would suffer, he charged, saying that governors would be unable to get enough information to issue hurricane evacuation orders in time. >> all of these claims are false because they're making assumptions about our budget that aren't true, that aren't in our budget, in order to have these kinds of talking points, in
