we're talking the "murphy brown" episode.t, if you want to make it political, this is a democratic party worried about culturally conservative voters. this was where republicans saw an opportunity to make democrats the party of murphy brown. we have culturally come a long way from that. >> have we? what happens is, that happens and cut to now where an outspoken single woman who is on twitter or on the internet is now, not only has the vitriol of dan quayle or who has access to somebody with an opinion. for me it looks like we've moved backwards with more information and more media. now, the more you put something out there that's alternative lifestyle oriented you're slammed for it. >> a lot easier to hear from angry people, people who hate you -- >> i guess the thing -- when i say things have changed and we've 3406d on, i'm thinking politically, i the democratic party of bill clinton, there was the fear of people said whether it was don't ask don't tell in '93 or defense of marriage act in '96. hey, don't want to go too far

it doesn't feel dated the way like, if you watched "murphy brown" today there would be references to and john nunu. it doesn't feel sold with "seinfeld." >> there may be a few things that don't have a reference episode, like cramer is the aol movie phone guy. just tell me the name of the movie you want to see. but aside from that, yeah, it is universal. so much of the humor comes out of social discomfort. it ultimately comes back to selfish self-centered behavior, and how hilarious it is to watch if we're not involved. >> that's the thing i want to ask you about, i mean, i know to me, the show was never that mean. the characters to me were never that mean. i found that pretty relatable. george got over his fiancee's death very fast. the appeal to me was, maybe it says something about me being a mean dark person, but to me, they were very relatable. >> there was not a nice person on the show. all of the characters, they -- and the four of them would have sold each other out. in any particular episode, they all -- everybody threw each other under the bus all the time. but it was recove

a couple shows that i haven't thought about about in a long time are rhoda and murphy brown. even cheers is something i was brought up on. these are all movies and tv with strong female leads. but as i'm thinking more about movies, what about, you know, you took a web -- you took a blog, and you turned it into a book. what about taking a book and turning it into a movie or a tv series? >> this book, you mean? >> this book, yeah. >> someone else asked me that. i'm not sure how that would work, honestly. but, you know, there have been plenty of other books that you can't imagine being turned into films like "what to expect when you're expecting," you know? i think the only reason -- i haven't seen the movie, so maybe it's really -- >> is it out? is that movie out. >> >> oh, yeah, it's been out for, like, a year and a half. maybe it's very close to the pregnancy guide. i doubt that it does. but it was a brand name, and i'm sure that's part of why the producers bought the rights to it. u%-f book would be turned into a film. >> it's almost like sex and the city with rage. [laughte

. >> brown: erin murphy, take us into one area, the question of executive power. >> sure. rown: we saw that in some of the cases. did you see a statement being made by the court in that area? >> i'm not sure there's a particular statement being made by the court, but there certainly were some big executive power cases this term. the nor cannon case is the most high profile one. this is the scope of the president's appointment power when the senate is not in session. and it's an interesting case in reflecting what marcia is taking about because you have a unanimous court holding that the particular appointments at issue are appointments made by president obama a few years ago were unconstitutional. you then have a minority of the court that would have held more broadly that a number of other -- under a theory that would have called into question the constitutionality a number of other appointment that would have been made and the majority of the court declined to take that broader step that would have had much broader implications. >> brown: neal katyal did you see clear fro
