randy walker said he never had a chance to plead his case. >> exactly. which seems to me the exact opposite of harmless error. harmless error is you got a warrant, like a search warrant, but the wrong date was stamped on it. that really is a technicality. here, the fact that these people didn't know that these murderers were up for pardons is a substantive problem with how the process worked and which is hard to believe that the judges would read that part out of the constitution. >> i want to bring in some victims' family. tiffany, your sister was killed. when you hear governor barbour's lawyer say, there's been no quote, harm and suffering, requiring redress, what do you say to that? >> well, you know, i would wonder, you know, does he have children or brothers, sisters, that had been through this? you know. and what harm and suffering really is because apparently he has no idea and, you know, as you say, that the 30-day notice, you know, we should have been notified but haley barbour should have taken it upon to look at the files and look at the files

walker the second, they all had their parents out there. you figure st. mary's is rolling, but loyola, they just took it to the gails and beat them up. 75-60. one of randyorst losses in recent memory. and that's it. st. mary's, i guess their real show will be at the end of the year if they make it to the ncaa tournament and do something. that's the last game for the seniors at home. >> ah! >> with their parents. >> we'll be back tomorrow. see you thin. then whatcha lookin' for hon? ah, these new jeans i want. i've been looking everywhere. new blue jeans? oh, don't be crazy, i've got tons of blue jeans. frank! frank! get my jean bin, susie wants my jeans. no she doesn't. here we go. nice and loose. ohhh. those are loose, but i actually just ordered three pairs of this kind. ooooohhhh. oh. when it's on your mind, it's on ebay.

walker did was he cut people's voice. he cut their rights. and didn't create one new job. >> isn't that really what has happened, randi is when a lot of dissatisfactionwhen a lot of disaffection was being expressed, the tea party republicans seized on that. took control of the congress and some state houses. and then used that control to go after unions, go after working middle class, to go after people and really, in many ways, i think, we're beginning to see it backfire because people began to be awakened by the fact they had empowered people that absolutely wanted to eradicate the things we all took for granted, like labor rights and voting rights and civil rights. >> exactly. >> and gender rights. >> because these rights oar these are american values. america is always about giving people opportunity. giving people rights. creating a climate so we all can prosp prosper, not taking rights away. and what happened is that in the guise of, well, we have to deal with budget cuts. cuts that workers never created. workers in america did not create the recklessness in the economy in the housing market at wall street, but they used it to say we're cutting
