mr. jefferson that the greater part of the papers in this collection were written by mr. madison. i think people are fascinated by this book because of the ownership, because of the prominence, the fact that it was john jay's copy than it was passed to this goddess philosopher while jefferson is abroad in paris. the interesting thing that dougal stewart wrote this piece about mr. madison be in the majority author of the paper when we know it isn't true. we often speculated may be jefferson said that but he didn't want it to be written down. then i think it is extremely significant that jefferson actually wrote, annotated in response to something that hamilton is trying to push forward that he disagrees with. the federalist papers are an example of the text that we go back to time and again to really understand the meaning within our constitution, i i think it is insightful to see the inscriptions for an understanding of the different perspectives. so, i know scholars are interested in our copy for that reason pete untran. we want people who come to see the exhibit to walk away with

mr. jefferson. it was this that led to the embargo, which i had the responsibility of ensuring its enforcement. this decision was rather than go to war with england and/or france, we would simply refuse our trade with both of them until one of them should come to its senses and should eliminate the orders and councils or the various decrees. the decree of milan and berlin. eventually, it became clear that the efforts for economic pressure on france and england was not to work. we were hurting ourselves more than we were hurting england and france. so, there were the subsequent attempts of non-importation and a number of other actions, and of which were affected in the end. and so it became quite clear to the administration of mr. madison that matters were tending to war. of course, this is not a matter that was automatically popular. there were certain people in the northern part of our nation who disagreed with this, because they had been profiting from their intercourse with england, in a mercanti

mr. jefferson would want us all to understand there is no religious test for public office. when the chief justice delivers the opinion it goes down to three central questions. did marbury have a right to his commission? >> yes, he did have a right. host: if he had a right, and the right was violated, did the law provide a remedy for him? >> yes, and marshall thinks he is very clear that the jefferson administration and jefferson have acted against the law, that they were duty-bound to give them the commissions once they were duly appointed. it is the harshest criticism of a presidential administration in a supreme court decision up to that point. host: here is the part where everyone looks to the thinking of the chief justice. if the law provided a remedy, the proper remedy was mandated were ordered from the supreme court. john marshall decided what that became historic? >> we are taking marshall's ordering of the issues. here is the first issue to take. can john marshall sit? marshall said no, he should have excused himself. he has firsthand knowledge. oes the court have t

mr. jefferson would want to understand there's no religious test for public office. >> when the chief justice the opinion, the case is boiled down to three central questions. the first was, did marbury have a right to his commission. the court said, what? >> yes. he had a right to his commission. >> question two, if he had a right and the right violated, did the law provide a remedy for him? >> yes. he did. on both of these questions, marshall is very clear that he thinks that the jefferson administration and jefferson have acted against the law, that they were duty bound to give them the commissions once they were duly appointed. and so, it is actually the harshest criticism of a presidential administration in a supreme court opinion up until that point. >> and question number three, and here's the part where everyone looks to the thinking, the -- of the chief justice, point three, if the law provided a remedy, was the proper remedy this mandamis or direct order of the supreme court? it was on this point number three john marshall decided what and this case became historic? >> so, remember,

mr. jefferson for his obedient service. so he gave his copy to stuart and he writes i was told by mr. fferson that the greater part of the papers in this collection were written by mr. madison. i think people are fascinated by this book because of the ownership because of the problems. the interesting thing that he wrote in this piece about mr. madison being the majority author of the paper when we know it isn't true,, we then speculate maybe jefferson said that he didn't probably want it to be written down. and then i think it's extremely significant that jefferson actually wrote and annotated in response to something that hamilton is trying to push forward that he disagrees with. the federalist papers we go back time and time again to understand the meaning within our constitution. i know they are interested in the copy for that reason. we want people that come to see the milestones of this said that because the six exhibit with an appreciation that it exists in the public library in buffalo and for the residents of buffalo we hope that it will rekindle a sense of pride. it's because

"the new york times" interviewed somebody named alex jefferson who worked with mrs. harper, ms. harper, and that personal lex jefferson said that this mother had said of her son, my son is a real big problem of mine. he has some psychological problem, and sometimes he takes his medication, and sometimes he doesn't, and that is where the big problem is when he doesn't take the medication. she also talked about online her son banging his head against the wall, and how this is her lifelong work. >> and previous signs of aggression, and signs of depression and as in being willing to take your own life and other people's in the process, and having great struggle that you deal with by being aggressive and blaming others, and in other words, if the mother is trying to tell everybody, you can't behave this way, because you are bothering my son, it is your fault or the kid is saying that you can't, you can't do this, because it is all your fault, those are the things that are in the background of people who go on to commit gun violence, and they should not have access to guns. >> mary ell

thomas jefferson, man. >> [applause] mr. trump: then you have james madison. principal author of the constitution. that is pretty good. and then you have george washington. that is pretty good, right? >> [cheering] mr. trump: pretty amazing. when you think of virginia, just pretty amazing. so, i tell the stories and i love the stories because it shows how important it is. i am self funding my campaign, ok? i am the only one. >> [cheering] [applause] mr. trump: and i see all the guys that are competing with me, and some of them are nice -- although, some of them have hit me really hard. they're asking me for contributions, and then as soon as i run -- like he, he is a nice guy. did it work out too well for him. what he really hits me. id then lindsey graham, thought he was a nice guy, but he hit me. because they want to get their numbers up. not working. in every case, they have gone down. man, can you imagine if i am president? playsbody who pays -- tough with us is going down, right? right? >> [cheering] mr. trump: but i look at what is going on and i see so

mr. president, i like to quote thomas jefferson from time to time, and jefferson used to say, if people know the truth, they won't make a mistake. and i'd like to think the same thing is true here. if my colleagues and i know the truth, we won't make a mistake either. people think it is political suicide to vote to raise these user fees. you can't get reelected by doing the right thing. and you know what? you can. you can. and there's a lost evidence to show that -- a lot of evidence to show that it can happen. and i'll close with the words of -- not of jefferson but of mark twain, who said a lot of things -- a lot of funny things. one of the things that i think is especially appropriate here, mark twain said, in the end, tell the truth. you will confound your critics and amaze your friends. and the truth is, we need to make these investments. and the other truth is, this is not political suicide. at the end of the day, we're actually going to get, i think, more often than not rewarded for doing the hard thing and the right thing. and my hope is that we'll do that, and i will continue to mak

mr. makin should happen to be drowned, i should not look down the current for his body but up the stream. and finally jefferson wrote that with makin's death the republic would mark the last of the romans. both of of these men were very well regarded in the day. the third chapter is probably the most controversial of the 14 leaders. john c calhoun's as amity slaves writes in her quote the support part of slavery has been enough to see him wiped out in children's textbooks yet the omission leaves younger citizens in the dark about valuable history. i admit that amity slaves is right about that. i will always regret that calhoun was the defender of slavery. it is said that his career so overshadowed by that fact. his writings, for the majority of his career, or focus on paris, national bank, and other central themes and other plans and defensive slavery slavery came later in his career. interestingly calhoun is cited in john f. kennedy's book for his courage and honesty. he is hailed as one of the truly great u.s. senators. again russell kirk recognized in calhoun and randolph the very beginnings of the american

jefferson jackson democratic fundraisers the took place on saturday. you can see that if you go to in website, it has a story the wall street journal, taking a look at mrsclinton, strength following the benghazi meetings. navigation of the benghazi hearing before a congressional panel and the democratic debate boosted her support. a poll showed her edging ahead of mr. sanders in iowa. she has the backing of 46% of democrats and democrat leaning independents compared to 43% for bernie sanders. the latest survey also found that the bulk of joe biden supporters in iowa would back mrs. clinton. if you go to the pages of the washington post, it takes a look at strategy for the sanders campaign, saying that he did not mention the former secretary of state by name and remark -- in remarks during last night's dinner. he and his advisers technology campaign is trying to draw contrasts with the former secretary of state he starts adding his first tv as next month. in the end, it is about credibility, among other differences, clinton opposed same-sex marriage ball she was a senator and authorize the invasion of iraq and has not embraced a proposal to separate comm

jefferson university hospital. he suffered a brain aneurism on friday while having dialysis at chestnut hill hospital. he was 65 years old. joining us now to talk more about mr. mondesire's life is the current naacp philadelphia president, rodney mohammed. thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> tell me what you think jerry mondesire, what will his legacy be? how will he be remembered? >> i think he will be remembered as the giant that he was. his sterling leadership of the naacp over this last 17 years really speaks for itself. milestone projects that he was able to accomplish and 17 years of service. and you have to remember that jeremy mondesire was not only the president of the philadelphia chapter, but he was also the president of our state conference and a member of the national board of the naacp. so his impact was more than city-wide, it was state-wide and nation-wide. >> what do you think was his biggest accomplishment? >> i can say recently, he was able to thwart the efforts to change the political landscape in this country. there were efforts to bring the voter i.d. law to pennsylvania. it was mondesire's leadership fighting in the c

jefferson jackson dinner. that's considered a really big deal. a milestone for democrats running for the white house as they lead up to the iowa caucuses. we're looking at video of mrs. clinton getting back on track after her marathon appearance thursday before the house benghazi committee. so what is she talking about tonight? ed henry is there live in des moines. hillary, she took the stage and i'm not sure if she's still on. you're outside. do you have any idea how clinton was received, ed? >> reporter: arthel, about 4,000 people here, maybe a little bit more for hillary clinton. sort of a pregame rally for that jefferson jackson dinner. big deal because remember in 2007, hillary clinton came in as the frontrunner, but then fizzled. then senator barak obama came in. he soared at this dinner and never looked back. clinton finished third. today we are 100 days out from those critical first in the nation iowa caucuses. clinton obviously wants to make sure she takes no chances this time. so she had katy perry sing songs to try to get this big crowd reved up and the former president, bill clinton, said he had never been the introductory act for katy perry before and w

mr. speaker, just off the floor of the house of representatives, steps outside the door, we have a magnificent statue of one of our founding fathers, thomas jefferson. thomas jefferson said, i consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution. the amendment i offer today, mr. speaker, ensures that an important right of the american people is preserved, the right to hold the government accountable for their actions, the right of ordinary americans to go into court and hold the government accountable. the right to challenge the government in court should not be limited to large groups that are well-funded and have the financial ability to pay for a lawyer, and that's exactly what this bill would do. this right should be extended to every american citizen, every small business, every nonprofit organization regardless of the size and scope of their wall etc. now, as a lifetime courtroom lawyer, i know the importance of being able to access the court system. for many years, i fought to make sure that ordinary americans could have their day in court and hold wrongdoe
