sometimes i'd joke, even if he had nominated moses, they would not vote for him.s -- after all, she has had more experience on the public bench compared to any nominee to the supreme court in the last decade. she has the highest possible rating from the apa. she has a tremendous reputation as a prosecutor. as a prosecutor. she has as a mainstream judge just about by every organization. if she had been nominated by a republican president, i suspect that everyone would be voting for her. i appreciate those who have bucked their priority on this, despite being told to vote against her by their party. i will also say this to complement the republican senators -- some of the leaders of the republican party referred to her as being equivalent to the head of the kkk. none of these senators use that terminology, and they expressed a different reason for being against her. i thought that was very respectful. i agree that both sides need as much time to ask questions. i appreciate the fact that we were able to have all of the questions we wanted. i appreciate the fact that

actually about a quarter less th most-- mose countries spe a quarter less than they did 25 years ago on education. on the microlel what that means is we have things like pettloan stores on the sell side of chicago. there oliver johannesburg, south africa. weep pay serious interest rates and edit cards, so does brazil on its bonds. we s crime rising everywhere, so this argentina which never had a crime problem until basically 1990 we see this dislocation and isolation of people increasingly from their unions come from families and that iq this integrated gbal economy has done or please the way it has been molded and shaped. it is isolated people, separated us from families in unionsnd our te representatives like congressman rush. it is increasingly strange as from these institutions because of course we are no longer their clients. their clients are big business and this is all of the world so you see the sense of the trial in south africa f instance where the aft-- nelson mandela's political party which led this country to its liberation from aparthd and people are growing very sort

there was some as i had a feeling as i said before that president obama voted moses the law giver, they would have voted "no." i mean, god. the message to the president, just keep doing what you've been doing. nominate the best person you can find. we'll get them through. >> yeah. >> ok. thank you you all very much. >> well, done, chairman. >> i said you're move -- the white house. >> today the full senate confirmed sonia sotomayor as the newest supreme court justice. this saturday on c-span watch high lights from the senate floor debate on "america and the courts." and enter the home to america's highest court. the supreme court. >> coming up next on c-span, remarks on the economy by christina roamer. after that a senate hearing on the status of the u.s. postal service. then a portion of today's floor debate on the confirmation of sonia sotomayor to become a supreme justice on the spream court. -- supreme court. >> on tomorrow's "washington journal" joel simon executive director on the committee to protect journalist, talks about the jailing of the jourgeis abroad and conditions of rep

they don't necessarily understand that the magnitude is a very small and it mosely does not come to ourvel. even on the level id does hit, and this goes back to the infrastructure part of it, some of the stuff is coming, it's just that it takes some time and it has not happened yet. but if you look at what is happening in this region and might state, we have had major problems with transportation funding for quite some time. basically not putting enough money into transportation finance for 20 years now. we have had an under-funded program, which in the last couple of years, because we have run into economic issues for some time at the state level, we have seen billions of dollars of cuts. last fall it was a $2 billion further cut announced. the stimulus package comes out and it has money for transportation in the state. i think virginia got $800 million-plus it is not chump change and i'm glad we have it. but when you just had a $2 billion cut, it does not mean you are suddenly rolling in money. and the other things i mentioned, actually being able to use the funds, is very complex. th

now, there are some, if president obama had nominated moses, the law giver, they would have voted no. my gosh! i think what i would say to the president is keep doing what you are doing. he was a constitutional lawyer himself and professor. nominate the best person for the job. we'll get them through. >> yea. >> good job. >> i think, sheldon -- >> up next on c-span, remarks on the economy by christina romer, and at 7:00, "washington journal." >> all this month, revisit the fairs and festivals we've visited this year on book tv. this year, the annapolis book festival and the key west literary seminar. >> now christina romer talks about the employment numbers being released friday and the economic stimulus package that passed in january. the economic club of washington hosts this event. it's 50 minutes. >> thank you. we're going to start right on time. i first want to acknowledge the presence of several special guests. the ambassador from india is here. and the vice chairman of the d.c. city council, councilman jack evans. and we have representatives from the embassies of australia, por

another book that had a real impact was robert caro's book by robert moses because again i love the ideaat you help people to see how power really works in american society. growing up as a poor black kid in brooklyn, it was always a question who gets their streets cleaned and paved? you know, who gets to send their kids to and good schools. who has access to powerful people to politicians. you know, who gets bridges built as opposed to highways put through their neighborhood. and even -- and that's what that book says to me. good reporting can help people to understand the power brokers in their lives and so i always thought that was just marvelous. and, of course, you come forward and you get to the watergate era with woodward and bernstein and getting behind the veil to see power as it operates and power as it corrupts. to me, you know, that's thrilling stuff. i think that's what journalism should be about. >> host: i'm going to give you a moment to think about this next question. one or two figures in american history would you want to interview and what would be your first question?

john moses did a video clip as well, going over our goals and accomplishments prior to the exchange. i want to take a moment to review the open government initiative. the office of science and technology policy provided three phases where they actually asked the public to collaborate in order to really talk about a number of different topics. we were involved because one of those topics was rule-making and how to make that more effective and participatory for the public. the first thing we did was provided them with a blog post, and we actually managed the post. that was the first time we managed a post over a two-week or week and a half time frame. we encolluded topics on regulatory education, public involvement, how well do public members understand proposed actions? what does it really mean? what are some institutional changes that would improve the rule-making process? and how could we better increase public awareness? increase public understanding of their role in the rule-making process. we got a lot of good feedback on that blog post as well. several comments focused on how to

some people think that he's supposed to be moses or something and take his stick and part of the sea. this man adopted basically something that george bush left for eight years that he was in office. he left this in a big mess so they ought to give him a break. they really should give him a break. people like rush limbaugh and i cat think of the name on fox news, he really irritates me. i mean, barack obama cannot do anything, he can't even -- with all the people sittingomething critical. but i want to ask a question, sir. do you think he's going to become a great president? >> guest: it is too early to say. how can you do that? or could be a great president was something that he thought about at the earliest stages of trying to decide whether or not to run. and again this is pretty much the second chapter of the book where, you know, he and his friends are discussing what makes a good president, in his opinion the sort of mixture of the person and the time and that is why he thought ronald reagan was probably the great president and even though he opposed pretty much every single one

joseph lowery is a giant of the moses generation of civil rights leader.t was just a few people huddled in montgomery that laid the ground work for the bus boycott and the movement that was to follow. the founder of the southern christian leadership conference, he was later asked to serve as president. he agreed to serve for one year, but wound up serving, as he puts it, for 20 1-year terms. [laughter] some have called him crazy. one of my favorite sermons that i heard dr. lowery once delivered, he said there is good crazy and there's bad crazy. [laughter] sometimes you need a little bit of that good crazy to make the world a better place. born just a generation past the battle of little bighorn, a grandson of a scout for general custer himself, dr. joseph madedicine crow was the first member of his dtribe to attend college. he completed the four battlefield scenes that made him the last pro were chief. historian, educator, and painter. a good man. his life reflects not only the warrior spirit of the crow people, but america's highest ideals. his name was

ever since katherine way mose became publisher about a year ago and then appointed marcus broukly asve editor. and it really is remarkable. and guess what. since broukly took over in september, the "washington post" circulation declined has leveled off. so that's the market place at work. "washington post" leveling off, "new york times" continuing to slide. into this mix comes news max. it is actually the largest conservative website but it also runs every single day stories that are critical of republicans and conservatives. news stories that report criticism, news stories that report scandalous behavior when it occurs. but it does emphasizes conservative opinions and conservative stories that you don't see in the main stream media. and one example is i began doing stories in january of 2008 reporting on reverend wright and his connection with barack obama. and until that time the mainstream media had totally ignored the fact that for 20 years barack obama was in reverend wright's pues, that he considered him a mentor, and the only exception was shawn hantty who had reverend wright

there were some, i have the feeling, i said before, that president obama nominated moses, they wouldhave voted no. what it says to the president is just keep doing what you are doing. he was a constitutional lawyer himself, proffesor. nominate the best person you can find. he will get them to. -- get them, too. >> i think, at sheldon -- >> chairman of the judiciary committee, patrick leahy, and in the democratic committee members, talking about sonia sotomayor. the vote was 68 us 31, nine republicans joined democrats in supporting the nominee. here is how the ap reported it. "the senate confirmed on thursday sonia sotomayor as the first hispanic justice on the supreme court. president barack obama's first high court nominee becomes the 111th justice and just the third woman to serve democrats praised sotomayor as a mainstream moderate, but most republicans voted against her, saying that she would bring a personal bias and a liberal agenda to the bench. she is not expected to alter the court's's ideological split." the right thing of the associated press this afternoon, as that -- wri
