as was said in the fouppeding in 1910 by george heans and ruth baldwin, this organization has grown from one small housing department into a comprehensive national organization. i'm immensely proud of my own affiliation with the urban league going back over 35 years now. in 1974 i was one of the founding members of the national urban league of broward county, the 104th affiliate chapter in the united states. our goal then was to help alleviate some of the racial tensions felt throughout the community during desegregation. i went on to serve on the original board of directors on the tremendous executive director named leonard gainey, for the local chapter, and we worked to empower the community, incracy educational opportunities for our children, and change lives through strong advocacy for essential public services. the league is made -- has made great advances in the realm of civil rights. i knew whitney young who has no peer in this area who worked closely with leaders such as a. phillip randolph and martin luther king. the league assisted in planning the 1963 march on washington and c

the next telephone call is from connecticut, ruth, on the democrats' line. caller: what got me to make a phone call was the previous caller who said that the republicans always managed to get the democrats on the offensivdefensive. i think it is absurd. the taliban in pakistan, involved in trying to do damage -- but i think that we handled it. the fbi, new york -- the whole thing, in an incredible way. the democrats have to figure out how to stop these republicans who win 9/11 happen, the democrats did not attack george bush for not stopping 9/11 when there was clearly information they ignored. it is just insane what is going on. the fact that for some years in a country we would not criticize the people in power when things happened to national defense. host: the twin stories, one of which follows up here -- a moment to celebrate. eric holder has been on rocky ground for months. that is since his decision last november to try ksm and the federal court, manhattan which was quickly opposed by new york lawmakers. the attorney general will be up on capitol hill

but congress and the judiciary including the supreme court, although ruth bitter ginsberg did put a 24 hour hold -- the laws were disregarded, so i am delighted to hear the president back fidelity to the rule of law. host: but the president says we will follow the rule of law and fidelity to the constitution even when it is our. that does not conflict with what you said. guest: and that is my point. the constitution has different rights for different people. when i was in the military, when people were out in iraq and afghanistan fighting for us, they have different rights under the constitution. that is what some in the people who thought were intelligent have apparently not been educated sufficiently about. as a member of the military i did not have the same rights as a regular american citizen. as a person at war and not in uniform under the geneva convention, then you do not have the same rights. that is consistent with our american constitution. it is consistent with the 1942 case, even with the other case that the supreme court, as a justice roberts said in his dissent, could not

ruth bader ginsburg, to her credit, stayed it for 24 hours, then the court looked the other way and allowed that unconstitutional bill to go through because apparently the white house convinced them if they didn't let this illegal, unconstitutional bill go through, people in the auto industry would all lose their jobs. hogwash. there would have been -- they would have been forced into reorganization. the union contracts would have had to have been renegotiated. it would have all gone through reorganization process. it would have come out leaner, meaner, more efficient, but we couldn't allow that because there were political payback to those that helped the majority and the president get elected. there are some who said, maybe it's a good thing for us republicans that the health care bill got passed because it was so harmful and detrimental to america that, gee, it'll help us get back in the majority. as i've said on this floor before, i'd rather stay in the minority than see a bill that devastating to america, to the principles of private property, and of sanctity of life, just be frittered
