stevens has what people described as a lilliputian voice. reaches up to lincoln, shakes his and, calls in mr. president. lincoln calls him stevens which is a familiar masculine kind of form of address that is just right. it does not snub his title, it doesn't recognize it either. there is an immediate warmth. stevens is wearing this wool overcoat. he looked like a large man, or least a normal-sized man. lincoln is thinking he has gained a lot of weight. he takes off the coat and he is down to 90 pounds. lincoln says that it never seen so small an ear emerge from so much husk. stevens laughs and it happily breaks the ice. the meeting gets off on that foot. they venture down and begin smoking cigars, telling stories recalling old friends, one of which is robert toombs, a georgian within very friendly with lincoln and stevens in a house and was now a wounded rebel general. in doing my research on him, i found -- lincoln asked about him particularly as he loved the guy and he wanted to know how he was. he was sorry to hear that he had been hurt. in my research, i found that toombs was described

mr. president. sonya sotomayor was his first supreme court appointment but not his last. when john paul stevensounced his retirement he nominated elaina kag ax n for the seat on supreme court. president obama has so far had two. one big, sometimes awkward question that lingered over the final two years of his presidency is whether he will get another pick as well. the oldest serving member of the supreme court is ruth bader ginsburg. she is 81. she was appointed by bill clinton in 1993 after a career that included find founding the women's rights movement in the aclu. all the speculation when it comes to ruth bader ginsburg is how much longer does she intend to serve? when you look at ruth bader ginsburg this that way, as 81 years old, somebody that survived a number of health scares including more than one bout with cancer it seems like a logical question to ask and then you hear her speak and hear her opinions on the latest discussions before the supreme court, yeah 81 years of age but ruth bader ginsburg is not only on top of her game but maybe at the height of her game right now. my colleag

mr. president." sonia sotomayor was president obama's first supreme court appointment, but not his last, when john paul stevensannounced his retirement, he appointed elena kagan. some don't even get one appoint appointment. president obama has so far had two, and one big question that has linkersger whether or not he will get another pick as well. the oldest serving member is ruth bader ginsburg. she founded the women's rights project at the aclu. she was the second woman to serve on the supreme court. and all of the speculation is how much longer does she intend to serve. the is 81 years old, survived a number of health cares, it seems like a logical question to ask. then you hear her speak, you hear her opinions, 81 but she is not only still on top of her game, she might be at the height of her game right now. my msnbc colleague sat down with ruth bader ginsburg sat down with her, and justices do not sit down for many interviews. and what she got was a wide ranging fascinating interview that included the question how much longer do you intend to keep doing this? >> i know you have no intention of retiring co

mr. president, the islamic state. here is the president's response to the beheadings of american journalist james foley and steven sokolove months ago. he said the islamic state's ideology is quote, bankrupt. then he declared the islamic state represents no religion just two weeks later the president called the claim that the islamic state kills in the name of religion quote, absurd, while vowing to fight these terrorists. he didn't call them terrorists. no more than five months later now, this president still refuses to call the islamic state what it clearly is. radical islamist terrorists. according to the clarion project, radical islam is the merger of mosque and state under sharia. the goal being the implementation of sharia law globally through terrorist acts human rights abuses bigotry toward non-muslims and overall hostility towards the west. about three-quarters of the state department's designated foreign terrorist organizations are islamist so we are led to ask why doesn't our president at least publicly put forward any sense that he understands there is no war between so-called peaceful islam and radical islam
