[ applause ] >> i will say for president reagan, when he was campaigning to be president, he didn't think he was doing too well with the female votes. he started making statements about, if i'm elected president, i would like to put a woman, a qualified woman on the supreme court. and he made enough of those statements that then about four months after he had become president, potter stewart, justice stewart retired. there he was faced with what to do. >> well, he was a man of his word. >> he was. justice kagan, where were you in your career when justice o'connor was appointed? >> i was still two years shy of going to law school. hate to rub it in, you know. but even i knew enough to be impressed. i had just graduated from college actually. and i remember the announcement and thinking, what a stunning thing. >> did it have particular meaning to you? had you thought at that time about goi

did you put ruth cox in as the new regional administrator? >> yes, we appointed ruth cox as the regional administrator. >> why? >> we needed to fill the regional administrator's position. it had been double-filled by jeff kenneally for quite a while. i felt it was -- i'd been working hard to get regional administrators in all the regions. this was the one that was still outstanding. and i was eager to get it filled. for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that the regional administrator is a -- an important person in the line -- in the chain of command, in the line of authority, over the regions. and i'm the administrator of the whole organization, the regional administrator is in the regions, and it's important to have that presence there. >> you advised the new regional administrator, ruth cox, to get a handle on the regional commissioner, kenneally's, travel? >> i did not personally advise her to get a handle on his regional travel. >> thank you. my time is expired, i'll come back to that. miss norton. >> thank you very much. mr

senators read i'm senator, not ruth and mine read i'm ruth, not senator. >> i once saw an argument where the lawyer confused two women, i'm not sure, i think it was actually when you were on the court, so i think it might have been justice ginsburg and justice sotomayor who were confused, and then 20 minutes later the same lawyer confused two men on the court. >> oh, gosh. >> and i think that the second was purposeful. >> mm-hmm. >> i think he realized he had done it once, an darned if he wasn't going to do it again with -- with gender neutrality. >> oh, that's funny. >> that's the difference the three makes because we haven't been confused. the three of us have not been confused. >> i thought it had happened once, and i think it was you and i, but that is also understandable because we flank the two ends of the court, and i'm told that you can't always hear where the voices are coming from, so i'm giving them an excuse. >> what were your biggest challenges in joining the court, and all of you have probably had different kinds of challenges. justice o'connor, you being the trailblazer. >

. >> ruth cox. >> yes, the new administrator. but as it appears from his organization of the committee -- of the gsa, before his organization, or shall i say reorganization, the regional administrator had direct control over the two commissioners. the pbs commissioner, the fas commissioner. under his reorganization, that was no longer the case. and you have the reporting straight up that we have talked about today. it looks as though this person you appointed was something like a figurehead just the way the cfo, also called a gsa cfo, was a figurehead and yet you kept this structure. this structure put in place by an acting gsa administrator when you could have looked at it and seen it seems to me that your own -- seems to me your own position had been weakened. remember he's a pbs commissioner. he makes sure that these people report around the regional administrator and straight up to the commissioners, the respective commissioners. that means if i'm coming in, i'm looking at less authority for me because my own person there no

ruth, let me ask you first. planned parenthood, how important is it to voters and do you think the polls will hold up as we get closer to the election? >> it is crucial so many women voters. i think what women understand is this is not just driving a wedge over late-term abortion but telling women which they should have access to birth control and whether we are going back to little house on the prairie or living in a modern society and that's why you see the huge number gaps. >> what can you tell us about the bombing that took place at the planned parenthood clinic? >> first of all it happened in the box fox valley which is a divided part of our divided state. it is very close to the place where joe mccarthy is buried in wisconsin. the headquarters of the george birch society. it is an area that sent a democrat to congress regularly over the last several years. this is an area of the state that is crucial for republicans to win, if they are going to win tomorrow. it is also an a area where you see the battle be

ruth, do you consider or do you view these positions that the republicans are taking as insulting? >> absolutely, ed. and i'm not alone in that. i mean, look, i mean, first of all, the best thing that romney supporters can say for him is that this man is not who he says he is. so right there, you've got a problem. that's just insulting women's intelligence. but if they are going to try to send this dog whistle, that somehow we're going to get the mitt romney who's actually pro-choice like back when he was governor of massachusetts, it's not getting anywhere with women. women are not going to forget that this man came out and said, we're going to eliminate planned parenthood. it's true that women weren't prepared to have to defend our access to birth control, but all of a sudden we're shocked to find that that's where we are. that actually the republicans want to get between us and a perfectly legal prescription for birth control. and that's hard to get over. i don't think they're going to make that go away. >> charnell hearing, i have to ask, when you look at the map and you see wh

i think it's too late. >> ruth, how important is it for president obama. he came without a video message talking about planned parenthood. he's going right at the republicans right now. that's about as aggressive a statement as you can make and he's putting be republicans on the defensive. what does it mean? >> it means he knows he benefits. look, he's at 60% with women and mitt romney is at 30%. clearly, this is a settled issue. this is not an issue that's up in the air. should women have basic access birth control or should their boss or pharmacist interfere and prevent it. what last night show it's not hyperbole it's a force trying to drag us back. >> you have sherrod brown doing well. you have bill nelson. how can the democrats capitalize on this to make sure they don't lose this advantage? >> i think they should just do the right thing. doing the righthing means standing up for planned parenthood and believe women should have access to birth control. mitt romney tried to tell us that women don't care about access to birth control. they are much more c

and here to tell you a little bit more about community works is ruth morgan, so help me welcome ruth morgan. thank you. . >> thank you. i do hope that if you haven't seen the exhibit, you will go up to the skylight gallery and see it. the project actually involved over 225 young people who studied the japanese internment through the personal stories of 15 people who were interned or impacted by the internment. and the exhibition highlights the individual stories of each of the japanese americans who came into the classroom, as well as the rich student responses to these stories. the project really gave the students space to make very meaningful connections between the historical event of the japanese internment and contemporary and historical instances of social injustice in america today. but we're here today to meet phillip and chloe, so i want to introduce you to them. phillip also was one of the gracious japanese americans who came into the classroom and told his story. phillip congatonda went to law school and graduated hastings law school but never actually practiced law. he be

what about it, ruth? what was your take on all that?well, i thought it was-- actually, i wrote that, the morning the whole thing after the night before was exploding, that one of the things that was remarkable was the degree to which david axelrod, the campaign manager, and then mrs. obama, then the president himself did their best to distance themselves from hillary rosen for exactly the reason that you say. the mommy wars are, to some extent, a silly but very-- silly because they're not real. workwomen and stay-at-home moms face a lot of the same issues and stresses. but it's such a sensitive subject they wanted to say hillary who? hillary who? and i thought that was a little sill, especially the suggestion that it was illegitimate for her to talk about anne romney because i'm sorry. the candidate appointed her his official ambassador to the strange foreign land of women. so it's fair to ask what qualifications she has. >> schieffer: norah. >> reporter: women make up 53% of the voting electorate. so women vote in big numbers, and they
