mr. ginsberg, let me ask you about some of the politics here.itical science 101 they teach you that republicans historically have benefited when turnout is lower, and democrats have benefited when turnout is higher. whether or not you think that's true, that is the widespread belief in political circles, given that, how do you take this goal of making it easier for people to vote out of something that has partisan implications that republicans may not like. >> i may have missed that part of the class you're referring to. what we present are a series of bipartisan recommendations aimed at the voter and making voting easier for all legally qualified voters. as bob said, our mission in this report was to improve the voter experience. i reject the notion that somehow republicans don't want people to vote. >> mr. ginsberg, i am really happy to hear you say that i promise to clip that sound byte and play it over and over again in years to come. >> thank you. >> thank you for your time tonight in talking to us. you guys are busy guys who bill a lot for

mr. ginsberg as a zionist. what i didn't like about that he made it appear some sort of criminal act to be a zionest or it's some sort of character flaw. when all countries have are promoted and supported. i see nothing wrong with israel promoting its brand just like any other country. wouldn't you have the same concerns for england, germany and etcetera. of course, i have to take issue with that. i have to ask him why does he single out israel for promoting its brand and garnering support? regarding mr. ginsberg, personally i find him very refreshing. he's very knowledgeable. he seems to be someone that his interest is in advancing the ball rather than just status quo, his ideas are sound. they are precise and i thank you very much for your input this morning. i do appreciate it and thank you c-span. guest: thank you very much, my mother will be very happy to hear the kind accolades on new year's day. one thing that we americans sometimes miss -- look i have a record, i was raised in the middle east. i was bro

. >> we hear argument first this morning in case 12462, northwest incorporated versus rabbi ginsberg. mr. clement? >> mr. chief justice, may it please the court. under this court's decision there are only two relevant questions and the ninth circuit got both of them wrong. first question is whether a claim for additional benefits under a frequent flyer program like price upgrades relate to price and routes and services. this court answered that question and agreed that it was not particularly close. to reach the same conclusion in the same context underscores how far they've strayed from this court's precedence. the second question is whether this party's claim seeks to enforce state law to enlarge those undertakings and enlarge the party's bargain and as to that question we think respondent's own claims make the case quite clear. respondent did bring a claim to enforce the party's voluntary undertakings, a breach of contract claim. implied preemption seeks to impose a duty of fair dealing in reasonableness and superimpose on the bargaining even when the parties to the contract have esse
