that night, o'connor posts his encounter online. >> i thought, this is interesting.m just going to cut this into a little video and put it up and just show my friends, here's a weird thing that happened, that i was out fishing and a dog swam up to me. >> earlier that same day, while o'connor is out fishing, semiretired emergency physician dr. wellington chen of siesta key, florida, gets a visit from police. >> obviously, when the police are at your door, you always wonder if you did something wrong. >> he is told the gut-wrenching news, that his wife of 26 years, the mother to their three children, 53-year-old donna, was hit and killed by a drunk driver. >> some friends of ours actually had witnessed the accident and said that she'd been walking or running the dog and, obviously, we knew that he was missing at that point. we assumed he'd been hit by the car as well. >> it's undetermined if barney's injuries come from the drunk driver and why he is found more than three miles away from the scene of the crime and a half mile into the ocean. later that evening, authorit

how you came to be watching hardcore porn with justice sandra day o'connor. you start a chapter with that anecdote so don't fault me for bringing it up. >> it's part of the book. so the term i was clerking was one of the very first internet porn cases and this was 1996 it was right when the internet was getting started. and a lot of the justices didn't know what this internet thing was. and so the court librarians did training sessions to show the justices this is how the internetworks. and they paired chambers up so it so happened that my boss chief justice rehnquist and justice o'connor were paired up together along with their clerks. we were in this little bitty room and the court librarian was doing a search with the filters all turned off. i remember the librarian typed in the word cantaloupe misspelled and with no filters, cantaloupe misspelled pulled up graphic porn. and we're sitting in a tiny little room. i'm inches away from justice sandra day o'connor i remember to this day what she said. she said oh, my. >> that's exactly what i would expect her t

i'll tell you sandra day o'connor's story. she graduated from law school, top of her class, a few years ahead of me. she couldn't get a job. she volunteered to work for a county attorney and said, if you think i'm good enough, after four months, you can put me on the payroll. that's how she got her job. my first job was as a district court, federal district court law clerk. how did i get that job? jerry was in charge of clerkships. he called every judge on the second circuit, every judge in the eastern district and the southern district of new york. the answer was, well, we might take a chance on a woman but we can't risk a mother, her daughter is 4 years old. so jerry called judge andy palmieri, who always took his his clerks from columbia law school. and the judge explained, well her record is good but sometimes we work on saturdays, even on a sunday. how would i count on her? jerry said, give her a chance and if she doesn't work out then there's a young man in her class who will leave his wall street law firm and accept the

it looks like around port o'connor moving inland. that will be an area of very heavy rain on the line where it goes. it looks like austin, dallas fort worth will get rain in areas they did not need it. we had hurricane carlos. now it will decrease but it's right on the cusp of 75 miles an hour. so still hurricane strength. it looks like it's going parallel over the next couple of days to the coast of mexico and might go right between cabo san lucas. keep an eye on that. it looks like that might fall apart. it is just on the border of hurricane strength. we have a lot of low clouds and fog. 48 santa rosa. 53 half-moon bay. redwood city is at 51. west at 14. 50s and 60s through the interior but the water temps have cooled off. cleveland rain this morning clouds that will clear out by this afternoon will be okay. tonight for those that may be interested in that but the big story continues to be tropical storm bill and there will be a lot of rain down there in texas. for us there is a lot of fog which means the coast really stays on the

i would like to welcome cecilia o'connor executive director doer clinic. >> my name is cecilia o'connor. i work at the doer clinic. it's a psychiatric community based clinic for people experiencing crisis. prior to that, i worked at san francisco psychiatric emergency for the last 10 years. and a psych nurse. my experience with law enforcement with this experience, i have a lot of firsthand experience. i am one of the early members of the cit. i was quite excited and thrilled that this was going to go forward. and one of those reasons is that one of the unintended positive consequences of that entire project was that in a health care system that is incredibly siloed to the detriment of any client trying to seek services. an example of that and probably many of you in this room are aware of or know people who have experienced this. one individual maybe working with so many different providers, but none of those providers speak to each other. so we have this incredibly complex and extremely difficult to navigate system for most people. if you add to that, the challenges of being in crisis

until you saturday o'connor story. she graduated from law school. she was a few years ahead of me. she could not get any jobs, so she went to work for a county attorney and said if you think i'm good enough, after four months you can put me on the payroll. that's how she got her job. my first job was as a district court clerk. how did i get that job? it was a lawful at the time. he called every judge in the eastern district and in the southern district of new york. the answer was, will win might take a chance on a woman, but we can't risk a mother. so joe called edmond home year he who always took his calls. the judge explained her record is good, but sometimes we working on sundays. joe said give her a chance and if she doesn't work out the measure young man of her class who will leave his law firm and finish up the clerkship. so that's the caret. the stick was if you don't give her a chance, i will never recommend another columbia law student to you. i got the job. and other women of my generation you did as well are probably better than anyone else. the second job wasn't hard, b

justice liu: you mentioned justice o'connor. when you arrived at the court in 1993, you were only the second woman ever to serve on the highest court. your colleague, justice o'connor was appointed by president reagan 12 years earlier. when you think back to that time and your experience for 22 years, working with a very wide range of colleagues, what do you think you learned about the art of persuasion? is it possible to persuade one's colleagues? and if, how? i'm really interested. [laughter] justice ginsburg: possible, yes. is it something that happens often? no. i can remember one dissent, john paul stevens assigned to me, dissent came around, the vote at conference was 7-2. he the opinion came out 6-3. but the two had swelled to six. now that was some heady experience. turning the dissent into a comfortable majority opinion. we're trying to persuade each other all the time. so if a conference vote is one way, you try to write your position as persuasively as you can and hope to be able to peel off one or another vote. but m

operative part of the constitution, and the rest of the time on the federal bench, what sandra day o'connor does sit on the circuit court of appeals. we talk about conservative justices, liberal justices, that's not an ideal situation for the american justices, the current way it's construed it's not. and we need to make sure it returns, instead of being the most powerful, least accountable branch it needs to be the apolitical branch which is what the founders envisioned. >> allen port he mendenlal if we could depoliticize the court a little bit? >> i think it would but i hear this one recommendation. i'm not sure how that would square with the provision that, in the constitution, that the justices can serve under good behavior, but, you know, one problem i see is that the constitution is itself the most apolitical element of the justices job. but we have so many years of press accidents in the doctrine of sare decisis an old common law doctrine and now you have precedence on top of the constitution. and unless you can get underneath all those precedents, i don't know you can get to the apo

the last justice who had a kind of experience to bring to bear on this would have been justice o'connorsaw that in the way she decided cases. very distinctly. we need that kind of wisdom. it's really a cultural thing. what we don't need on the court are people who have only ever been technical lawyers and never sat or done anything that caused controversy and instead have people with real experience in the world that the court is going to affect through those decisions. linda: one other metric for that is something i remember walter dillinger said back in his day when he was advising president clinton on potential nominations. to ask whether that potential nominee is would get into the new york times and what would it say. by that measure, ruth ginsburg would qualify. i'm not sure of anybody else. back to your point, you make to kinds of points -- two kinds of points. the transparency and an undertone of ethics. who do we put on the court. those are two different points. maybe we can discuss them separately. on the transparency point, you make a couple different points. television is an

yes, we turned to law professor brad, who used to clerk for sandra day o'connor. he calls it one of the ten most significant decisions handed down by the u.s. supreme court over the past 100 years. morality aside, just looking at this from a constitutional point of view he believes the court made the right decision. when you look at the constitution, it guarantees due process and equality protection. that's why five of the nine justices agreed that states cannot ban same-sex marriages, but the professor doesn't think it was an easy decision. the justices had to grapple with that question of whether it was up to them or the individual state legislatures to decide this issue. >> it is essentially a question that is in every constitutional case, but on questions of this level of social and political and religious significance i think there's a greater question for the court to deal with of whether it's for them to resolve this for the entire country. i'm slightly surprised that the chief justice wasn't also in the majority, because i figured that the chief justice wo

up the program to just everybody else and if somebody publishes a speech they don't like, justice o'connor in the thomas vs. ohio case suggested you might put a number on it from the klu klux klan, put the cross on the hill. >> i asked my question before because i wanted an answer. i'll try again. it was -- i'm trying to get rid of all the conceptual basis here. you just go back -- forget the public forum, et cetera. go back to look to see, is speech being hurt? and the answer is, yes. but not much. because they can put a bumper sticker. and you look at the other side of it and you say, does the state have legitimate interest here? and the state says, yes. our interest is that there are messages we like, messages we don't care about and messages we don't like, and we have a system for keeping the last off because it is the government speaking, which represents the citizens, and the citizens do -- it's their government and they don't want just in the example justice scalia gave, to have their government associated with messages that this commission doesn't want. and maybe there are limits o

night, that we've got our second tropical system of the season it is 55 miles south east of port o'connor texas moving toward the northwest at a rate of 13 miles an hour. this storm has 50 miles an hour wind and that is bad enough but it is rain that will be troublesome for follow action long this path that the storm is expect to take and expected to lose its tropical storm characteristics as soon as it gets into as soon as it makes land fall so that by this evening we will see it a as a low pressure system with lots of rain, to areas just recovering from last months flooding rains. so there is where the tropical storm warnings are in effect along the gulf coast of texas. for us, this is the cold front that we're watching later on today but we are seeing showers out well ahead of it with a weak system in advance. steamy, stormy, unsettled, once again today but once that cold front clears we will have a day cross your fingers with low humidity. nothing much to show you right new but we're focusing on is what going on out toward pittsburgh some showers and thunderstorms out there as well, w

charlie: when history is written of the supreme court, is it likely to say that o'connor and your kennedy, swing justices, exercise enormous power in terms and of the outcome in what the court said was constitutional? adam: absolutely right, charlie. it turns out that the medium justice at the ideological center has completely outsized power. you see that in arguments where the moment that justice kennedy perks up with a question everybody including his colleagues becomes exceptionally attentive because they know that it is kennedy's vote that will decide many cases. charlie: adam, thank you again. as always, a remarkable thing we have watched in the court in two separate instances in which people thought there would be a real challenge to the affordable charlie: the united states is drawing its longest-running war to an end. american troops are scheduled to a withdraw from afghanistan in really withdraw from afghanistan in 2016. the white house announced that in march, they will keep 10,000 u.s. forces throughout this year. a meanwhile, taliban fighters have regained ground. last year th

at the time, special agent tom o'connor is with the fbi's joint terrific task force. >> on november 1st was working in in his district office. >> i was working on my computer, and i saw some motion to my left. when i looked up, there were four men standing in the doorway with ak-47s. one of them said, you come with us, or we'll kill you. >> they zip tied his hands behind his back and ankles. he was brought out to a car. >> like many hostages before him, roy hallums disappears without a trace. american authorities fear the worst. >> unfortunately a lot of the hostages were being shown on video being beheaded. so it was a real concern that a u.s. citizen would be used in that manner. >> but it appears the kidnapers are more interested in money than murder. >> the head of the gang, he said to me that because i was an american they were going to get $12 million for me. >> in order to conceal his presence, the captors hide hallums in a farm house 16 miles outside of baghdad in a hostile region coalition forces call the triangle of death. >> it's an area that had a lot of issue. there was a l

whitman insight strategies and larry o'connor. editor at large at ij review.com.at to have you guys. apparently this new office will be known as the hostage recovery fusion cell. i guess it's a single point of contact for families if they find themselves in this horrific situation of having a loved one held captive by terrorists. larry, how will this change things? now we're going to allow families and private companies to pay but the government will still stay out of it? >> yes. my heart goes out to these people. i stand for freedom and american citizens having the right to do whatever they need to get their loved ones back even if it means paying a ransol. i don't think, as the obama administration did, i don't think they should threaten james foley's family with jail time as we understand they did. that's a bad thing. if they have the means and want to get their loved ones out -- i don't know what i might do in their situation. i might do the same. >> or promise false hope like we heard his mother saying that the administration allegedly was saying they were do

talk more about this, i'm bringing in annula o'connor an expert from the center for technology and securityacy in technology. >> what else expires tonight besides the ability of the government. >> it's limited provisions of the patriot act. we are not calling for the end to nsa's involvement in our lives entirely. we want to see a really limited government that really only knows about people under suspicion what happens right now under 215, all of the telephone calls, all of what's called the mota data, but it's your phone call records, who you called, when you called how long you talked for. every call in and out of america. >> all available. >> not only available, goes to the nsa for their records. that's too much. >> the new law here, the u.s. freedom act everybody assumes it will pass wednesday. it will now compel the telecom companies to hold this multiple senators do not think the telecom companies have to do this. if they don't, then where are we? >> we have lots of legal processes for companies to provide legitimate information to the government. >> thinking institutions. the haster
