commissioner o'connor: take-out window. commissioner o'brien: like a take-out window, thank you. >> anyone who wants to go to the pharmacy they don't have to interact with anyone in the store and anyone who wants to buy cigarettes doesn't have to go anywhere near the pharmacy windows. >> i would suggest to separate the business, don't call them one business. >> yeah, i mean, it's true, but some of the supervisors might think i'm looking for another loophole here. >> well, you are. >> yeah. i'm looking for anything -- >> you're being forced to look for a loophole. >> i am. and i think all this could have been solved with half-hour meeting with a few supervisors and we could have moved on with this in 2008. commissioner riley: commissioner kasselman? commissioner kasselman: i'm sure the costs of expanding into another location would be a big burden, so a simple short-term solution is if the pharmacy is closed, if most of your pharmacy sales were before 4:00, close your pharmacy at 4:00. i don't know if that would get around -

o'connor for his service. the work on the small business commission has been truly significant, and i think that experience would play well in a commission like this. the testimony of mr. hahn i thought was really -- i thought that stood alone, and so did mr. thomas and ms. weissman. the work on the civil grand jury, you have probably worked in learned on many things that most people do not know, which would benefit the commission. but i will be supporting mr. benetti today, for a number of different reasons. aside from the fact that he is truly qualified for this position, his resume is fabulous. but i think mr. benetti and i share a perspective most people do not share. when you sit at the board of supervisors and are in the middle of heated debate and one of your colleagues turns around and looks at you and says, you know, disabled people don't go to golden gate park so we don't have to worry about the issues there which is an honest to god statement, i have to say to myself, we need more people who were ab

o'connor. robert levy? if there is any individual who has submitted an application for this vacancy who has not spoken, please come forward. i think that concludes the testimony from all of the applicants. now let's turn it over to public comment. if there is any member of the public would like to speak on item seven, you each have two minutes. please come forward. thank you. >> good afternoon, again. i am president of the united humanitarian mission, and i support svetlana kaff. in my mind, is an ideal situation if all members of this commission will be one voice and the entertainment commission. we have people with nightclubs. one person killed a tourist from germany, and i think the members of the entertainment commission not only defend their personal interests or the interests of the industry, but defend the interests of the informant, prevent crime in our city, and because i have some experience in my commission, i know in the commissions they need advisory persons. if they have this person, that is t

in the 1980's and 1990's it was justice o'connor to a certain extent but never in recent history hashere been a justice as powerful today as anthony kennedy is -- the court is so polarized -- we don't know how kagan is going to vote although we assume she will vote similarly to stevens the and the other three. >> while justice o'connor was the swing justice, she would be very incremental, moderate, pragmatic. when justice kennedy is in, he's in all the way, so if he's on your team he will push the argument to the extreme, so he's instrumental in that sense too. >> charlie: what does that mean, "push the argument to the extreme"? >> justice o'connor would rule narrowly, would rule on this particular case and maybe not give the lower courts a lot of guidance, or give them a balancing test that different judges would apply differently. justice kennedy will say, for instance -- you know, in a full-throated way in citizens united, that corporations and unions have first amendment rights to spend in candidate elections. that could have been decided narrowly. it was decided broadly. >> i th

the switches tended to be ideologically one for one with the one exception of alito for justice o'connor which did shift the court to the right. >> charlie: all about the supreme court. next. >> funding for "charlie rose" was provided by the following. ♪ >> charlie: additional funding provided by these funders. >> and by bloomberg. a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> charlie: the united states supreme court began its new term, today. for the first time in its history, three three women on the bench. all eyes will be on new member justice elena kagan but because she was president obama's solicitor general she will refuse herself from cases. those cases include support for religious schools, illegal immigration, violent video games and the role of d.n.a. evidence. almost half the cases devoted to business with implications for contractors and telecommunications companies. joining me is jeffrey toobin, senior legal analyst with cnn, also a staff writer for "t

my name is michael o'connor. i'm here to request a possible appointment to the entertainment commission. i will acknowledge i have served last six years on the small business commission, where i have spearheaded the small business assistance center downstairs, which i'm very proud of. i think small businesses are the lifeline to all of our communities. i have also worked on the mayor's health care task force. i have worked on the back street business task force. one of the things i really appreciate about entertainment, night life, art, business business is the finalization these businesses bring to save his code to allow the city -- to san francisco, to allow the city to have businesses that are centralized. my interest in the entertainment commission was sparked last year when our mayor was throwing around the possibility of adding the commission. i did not agree with that idea because i think the commission plays a valuable role, and i felt i had a voice that could serve a strong purpose on that commission. i

eleanor o'connor became a c.n.n. correspondent in russia during the second year of perestroika she watched the radical changes unfold in the mass media very closely topics that had never been raised before started to appear on the pages of soviet newspapers people were no longer afraid to speak their mind or attend many informal meetings that were taking place across the country a member with my for my western colleagues western reporters we would sit in those meetings and sort of look at each other and kind of pinch our selves and say i'm sitting at with the founding fathers just like it might have been two hundred years ago in this country at the continental congress it watching people debate what country they're going to have the topics were not only achievements and prospects the endless problems were also on everyone's minds. it's too bad that more people in civil society more people at the grassroots of russian society. we are not really as economically benefited or politically benefited. as i think many people

cnn's moscow correspondent ellen o'connor had taken that day off she spent a whole year gathering the correct paperwork to adopt a russian girl called marina from a moscow orphanage on august the nineteenth one thousand nine hundred one the final meeting was shuttled in the meantime of course there were tanks. all over the streets and there was a huge line between me and the office so i was literally ran that story had a happy ending marina lived in russia with her new moment till she was nine then the entire o'connor family moved to the us marina remembers well the primary school she attended in russia and dreams of visiting her native country after she graduates from an american university. do you consider russia home. i don't really have or. it's still like that now like right now i'm living. like well like. moscow almost nine hundred ninety one boris yeltsin one of the most active opponents of the state emergency committee. the committee itself has to pass the twenty first. go up. no doubt the way to solve it the union collapsed was a sad event it was a tragedy but when that happe

we lost two big states-rights opponents when rehnquist and o'connor left the court, scalia and thomas still are generally in that direction. you don't have as much sympathy for states rights from roberts and alito, who basically are creatures of the executive branch. so on some of those questions, the clean divisions start to fall away a little bit. >> i think that's right. >> charlie: ok. there is also this question about this court. too many of them came from the same schools. >> it's unbelievable. it's crazy. six harvard and three yale. i'm proud to have gone to harvard law school, but it's just ridiculous. how can you have a court like that in the united states? >> i'm a little disappointed that we only have the three. >> it's not right. they're very heavily centered toward the east coast and they come from a very narrow band of lawyers. we used to have supreme court justices who were governors, attorneys general, a kind of bureaucratized judiciary who come up very much through the very highly credentialed ranks without the judicial world or the world of real people so we don't ha

i worked with sandra day o'connor. i knew it did not make any difference what i said. >> you really believe that? >> absolutely. >> you thought, if this woman witness to the same thing, maybe she needs to tell the truth. >> the rules were no questions or testimonies would be allowed other than in respect to a professional relationship with him at work. >> why not go to the media that was covering this story from every angle? >> i did not believe her. >> but you knew he was not telling the truth. >> i did not think either one of them was telling the full truth. what i would give, i would take away. >> what would you say about her husband a few spoke with her? what do you think she still needs to know? >> i feel sorry for her. i have no hostility towards her or jealousy or resentment. only sympathy. i would tell her to have a conversation with her husband. the chances of that happening are not great. >> because he is no longer checking of women or interested in pornography? >> i think he would have to be miserable, becau

. >> i got those statistics from justice o'connor. and i think that's one of the reasons i wrote the book. when i was a student in high school in 12th grade civics, we'd get on the bus, and we'd drive up to sacramento and san francisco. and we'd see the legislature in session, we'd see the governor, we'd go back to the city, we'd learn how city government worked, and we learned how the national government worked, too. i think the document i work with, the constitution, i have it every day, because i work with it every day. it doesn't tell us how to run the country. it tells us we'll have a process called the democratic process that will help us run the country. but it won't work if the average citizen doesn't know how it works. it won't work. i'm trying to write that in my book. i want people to know what the court's like, because unless they know what the court's like, they can't really run this country well. and ultimately, they're the ones who have to run it. >> can you remember the first person that got you interested in the law,
