in january, and executed michael lee wilson using a controversial mix of drugs that civil rights groupsonstitutes cruel and unusual punishment. 20 seconds into his execution, words were "i feel my whole body burning." >> the delay in obama's executions comes as newly revealed records show state officials joking about wanting perks for helping texas find execution drugs during an earlier shortage in 2011. in one e-mail, oklahoma's u assistant attorney general dubbed the group of oakland officials who have been working to procure the drugs "team bar pentobarbital" and wrote he would -- the documents also show they injected lethal drugs into an already dead body for what they called disposal purposes. for more go to denver, colorado to speak with susan greene. explain what you exposed. >> we exposed these flippant e-mails back and forth between assistant attorneys general who felt or had felt thwarted by texas -- there is a shortage in the country of lethal injection drugs. they're all sort of scrambling to find them so they can kill people on time. and texas had apparently not supplied ok

"wall street journal's" celebrity business reporter. sandra: hey. david: doesn't it all come down whether he plays? if he plays well, if he gives the jets a winning season won't all this be forgotten? >> real simple, david, the public's tolerance comes down and guy wins and comes up with a super bowl ring and they forget about all these kinds of thing. the atrocious crime he committed is a huge one. if he can win a ring, a lot of people will forgive him for it. sandra: when i started reading about him, to see the latest, i saw that roger goodell, the nfl commissioner is saying that he respects michael vick for his return to the nfl. >> yes. sandra: he of course, condemned him when all this was going on but he has come around as well? >> well he did suspend vick at the time. there was a lot that vick did. he went out and spoke to the humane society. as a matter of fact, or with the humane society to at risk kids. as a matter of fact in 2011 they lobbied congress for

far too ambitious it would have been far better if it had been a lower key operation and in fact michael lee who is with the german marshall fund the other day said that. the policy was misconceived and he said he was one of the architects of the policy and he went on to say and i'll just quote from it this was misconceived from the outset and i was one of the culprits in retrospect the e.u. made a number of serious mistakes it was not necessary or appropriate to present ukraine with an incredibly demanding deep and comprehensive free trade agreement now obviously people can argue about that but i think that that is the problem and my concern about the european union which we may come on to later is that it is over ambitious and create situations and i regard this as a crisis that could have been avoided if they hadn't been so ambitious i would have said that whatever the circumstances may have been when these things were first thought out first of all i think they were very ambitious but secondly looking at the situation with with crimea being with it and the whole of the black sea issue an

[applause] >> in an hour, howard took me to the issues in a clear and balanced way. i valued that, and i valued his wise counsel since. it is truly inspiring to be at this conference with such a diverse group of pro-israel americans, hailing from every state in the union, and all walks of life, including as a point of personal privilege, over 100 members of our synagogue, congregation in manhattan led by our rabbis.

michael eric dyson, and lee ann hamson, director of class size matters.e both yof of you w us. does eva actually have a civil rights case against de blasio or is this just a smear campaign? >> i agree with miss dukes. the appropriate use of civil rights language to justify an attack on the civil rights of all children, for that matter. look, what's at stake heres the equal education of all children. charter schools in one sense create two tiers, those capable of being cherry picked from the lot and the lottery, to be able to go to school, and it reinforces the siphoning off of critical resources from public education students to those in charter schools. if we have enough for the charter schools, let's have enough for everybody. redistribute goods so everybody has equal access to quality education. that's what mayor de blasio is about here. >> michael, how can you say that kids with special needs don't deserve the proper attention? i mean -- >> that's right. >> if this isn't picking and choosing kids, i don't know what is. >> exactly right. if her schools

judge mchugh was strongly supported by senators hatch and lee, and she replaced michael murphy, who had been a utah nominee. i could go through the history of each circuit and the same pattern would emerge time after time. this is not by accident. there's a reason for it. presidents of either party must know which senators to consult, and senators must know which vacancies to make recommendations for. now, this might sound like inside baseball to some, but it's fundamental to the senate's advice and consent role. and no senator of either party would allow the arbitrary occurrence of a judge's personal choice of residence to remove a judgeship from the senator's home state. this is a precedent this body cannot allow to be set. now, some might accuse california of trying to take more than its share of seats, and this is simply not so. there's no objective reason for the trott seat to be transferred to idaho, where judge randy smith already occupies that state's seat on the circuit. by every metric, population, appeals generated, district court caseload, california has far less than its pr

lee's complaints about gentrification. this is a man who has made epic contributions to the phenomenon he finds so troubling. michaels spent a great deal of money buying up property in this neighborhood. he's flipped some property as well. he's got a $32 million home. is he really the person to claim this mantle? >> i don't know if he's the person to claim the mantle. but i say bravo to what he said. i'm less worried about who said it and more focused on the substance of the argument he's making. it's a very legitimate argument that has impacted the economic prosperity, future prosperity of black neighborhoods across this country. i've seen it in my hometown of washington, d.c. i saw it as lieutenant governor of maryland as corporate interest began to expand around the city of baltimore, i would sit in meetings and ask the question, this is great we're going to bring this store and that store and all this business to this community. what happens to the 70-year-old grandmother who's been here for 40 years? what happens to her? no one bothers to take the time to ask the question of the full impact of gentrification on

lee. in fact, just five days ago in geneva, we were making our periodic report to the human rights committee and the acting michael advisor, mary mcleod told the committee, qualcomm and united states continues to believe that its interpretation that the covenant applies only to individuals both within its territory and within a jurisdiction is the most consistent with the covenant language and negotiating history. we really have 50 years of u.s. practice on this point recently reaffirmed by the obama restoration. but even if the iccpr did applied extraterritorial lee, the treaty would still not place limits on nsa surveillance because persons in other countries are not subject to u.s. jurisdiction. the human rights committee itself has to find the phrase, subject to a party's jurisdiction to include people within the power or defective control of the forces of a state party acting outside of its territory. .. just there are legal norms but i'm not aware that the government are suggesting that there is an actual violation of international law. and finally, just to close on my analysis at the donohue even if the icc

michael, and what we wrote was also exon knowledge inside the beltway. bill clinton said a-pack was, quote, better than anyone else lobbying in this town. politicians as diverse as lee hamilton, chris clollings, barry goldwater, and newt gingrich had written or spoken about the power in the past. even passionate defenders of israel like jeffrey goldberg had written proudly about clout. we provoked an extreme reaction, partly because we provided more depails about the lobby's influence, and partly because we were both rather middle of the road boring figures from well-known universities, partly because we were not left wing, we were not muslim, not arab, not married to palestinians, and partly because it was obvious in the wake of 9/11 and the iraq war that something had gone badly awry in u.s. middle east policy. now issue turning to what we didn't say. the rather hysterical reaction to the work confirmed our point. it was difficult to have a calm reasoned fact based discussion on the topic because most of our critics could not fine fault with our logic or fault with our elfed. they accused us of saying things we have not said, and in most cases, things that were th
