justice rehnquist and his fellow clerks heard the argument. having a feeling this case might be coming to them at some point. host: so, you say it's unusual. but the court can really respond very quickly if it needs to. what makes this particularly unusual that they did? >> precisely the circumstance we have been talking about. there are boots on the ground in korea and that is not lost on anybody. steel industry is real concerned about losing control. no matter which way you look, and everybody wants this done yesterday. host: the steel is continuing to be produced because there's an injunction so nothing happened to production during this? >> it's continuing to be produced. the whole argument is we cannot stand for an interruption of the flow of steel because it was not be up to produce tanks and airplanes to wage the war. the war is very much in the background here. >> pat is watching in milton, washington. your question? hi, pat? >> i'm sorry, yes. >> you have a question for us? >> i know that harry truman was not a college educated presid

he joined with william rehnquist. he was kind of a wildcard. blackmun was very glad when he endorsed roe and actually pushed back on designating when life came into being. he wanted to expand it to viability. host: the day became historically notable for another eason. lyndon baines johnson died that day, and that really dominated the headlines. how long did it take the media to catch up with the importance of this story? clarke: it was on the front page of "the new york times," below the fold. johnson's death is the leading eadline on january 23. but it was announced by walter cronkite. what is significant, i think, about the earlier media announcements is that the media almost consistently says that the right to abortion is limited to the first three months and we know that is inaccurate. but that was the initial message he public got. we know that when you look at roe and doe together and you look at the viability rule in roe vs. wade, but dover's is bolton -- doe versus bolton looks at all factors, that unlimited health definition requires

and when rehnquist was elevated from an associate justice to a chief justice that was oat -- that was the occasion when antonin scalia was nominated to essentially fill the associate justice spot. scalia as many people who recently recalled his career at his death was confirmed, 98-0. , this all happened at a time when the republicans were running the senate, so it was no surprise that reagan's two nominees got through. the next year louis powell retired. the democrats had taken the senate back. they were ready for a fight. and they had known that robert bork was coming. i mean, robert bork had been on the short list for a republican president supreme court nomination really since the 1970's. robert bork had been assistant attorney general for richard nixon. he had been a solicitor general for richard nixon. he had been part of the so-called saturday night massacre during watergate when several senior people to him resigned and bork was acting as attorney general. as soon as reagan became president in 1981 one of his first judicial appointments to the d.c. circuit court of appeals was

so this was the year 2000, it rehnquist, breyer... and the minority, and the judge was special give by invitation, the argument should be overruled. so tell us your perspective on that. paul: i argue in defense of the history jeff the is referring to, that it was disputed. it was president johnson goingately said we're not to want to enforce this law but president nixon who came pained on a law and order campaign, eventually i ended up as you a friend arguing as of the court. why say law professor arguing in defense of a statute. the and i think that was one of the unfortunate things that ultimately set the stage for the ruling against it. if the clinton administration solicitor general to defend the law, perhaps things might have come out differently. bit of what chief july rehnquist wrote in the miranda, e hold that being a constitutional decision of this court may not be in effect overruled by an act of congress, and we decline to overrule miranda ourselves. e therefore hold that miranda and its progeny in this court admissibility

and i remember when i got the clerkship to work for chief justice rehnquist, a couple of years after i graduated from law school, it was the only time i ever saw my father cry. and it reduced him to tears that his son would go and work for the chief justice. and the other time my father cried, i didn't see it, was when i was sworn into the senate and he was up in the chamber. i think all he could think about as he was looking down was, remembering back to being in austin in 1957 washing dishes. and that teenage kid who couldn't speak english never could have imagined his son would be sworn into office as a senator and now to be running for president. it has been -- it has been an amazing journey and a journey that can only happen in america. that's the opportunity of this great nation. >> let's meet more voters. this is shawn heinz. he is from new york. he supports you, senator cruz. >> a wise man. >> shawn, go ahead. >> thank you, senator cruz and heidi. my question is a little -- i'm curious, where did you two first go on a date together? and what were your impressions of each othe

and the story i told, i was clerking for chief justice rehnquist.hey paired the chief justice and justice o'connor and their law clerks were in this little room looking at this computer screen that pulls up hard-core porn. and justice o'connor i still remember, she leaned forward and she squinted and said, oh, my! but the marco piece of this, the book comes out and there were some reporters thought that was a funny story. they wrote about that story. and i'm on a plane and marco texts me and says, holy cow, you watched porn? our researchers missed that. now, that was funny. listen, he's got a good sense of humor. i laughed when he sent that text. >> let me ask you about polls. you told our dana bash last week and every poll shows you beating hillary clinton. that's not exactly accurate. of the nine polls in the last month released, you've beat her in only one and in the polls taken since february 4th, you win two, tied in two and lost in seven. why do you think you are the best general election candidate? >> because we will beat hillary clinton. if

susan: we, along with other people in the media petitioned to justice rehnquist to open the case up. we do not want to get too much ahead of ourselves, we want to set the stage in a little more detail about the baker versus carr case. so, we talked about the rising urban populations after world war ii and the fact that there were tensions between them. here's the separations of power question. it was left to the state legislatures, the people that had the power would have to make the decision to give it up. that does not often happen in congress. how could society or the court system force legislatures to address this? douglas: you are exactly right. that was the problem. you are essentially asking legislators who have seats to give up their seats to somebody else. state courts would consistently hear cases and say no, yes it is a big problem, but no, we cannot do anything about it. only the legislature can fix itself. that was essentially the way things worked, especially after 1946 when the supreme court and the case of colegrove versus green said that the federal courts cannot get

and again when chief justice rehnquist and justice scalia were sworn in, the president touched on this very subject. president reagan said that for the founding fathers the question about the courts was not whether they would be liberal or conservative. the question president reagan said was -- quote -- "will we have government by the people?" judges have a role in ensuring that we have government by the people. they fulfill that role when they try to understand what a law meant, either a statute or the constitution when the people's representative enacted it. if the justice decideds decided cases that way there would be much less politics in legal rulings. unlike the president, i think that would be healthy for our democracy. but more important, it was the understanding of those who wrote and adopted our constitution. i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from north dakota. mr. hoeven: ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding offi
