ruth bader ginsberg is 120 years ole -- >> jennifer: she is not. >> john: okay. i'm exaggerating.you succeed in repealing roe v. wade will you still support abortion in cases of rape or incest. i want to see mitt romney answer that question, and finally in a recent gallup poll last spring it showed that only 43% of americans identified them as pro choice. but 77% of americans support women's reproductive rights in some or all cases. and i would like to see him use that to his advantage. >> joy: and if i were the president i would say republicans are pro birth. they are not pro-life because if they were truly pro life they would be supporting the child once the child is born and that paul ryan budget slashes things that are critically important to the health and welfare of children. >> eliot: justice ginsberg is not 120 years old -- >> john: and we wish her many decades left. >> eliot: she has been spectacular, but all of that aside for a minute. there are a series of polls that show that the gender gap has disappeared, have they asked why? why shifted 10, 12% of female voters so t

>> my best buddyn the court is ruth bader ginsberg.ways has been. >> and yet you disagree with her on just about everything. >> just about everything. >> what do you like to do when you're not presiding in the supreme court? >> i like to play tennis and in my later years, since i'm circuit justice for the fifth circuit, i have gotten into hunting. so i do a lot of hunting of various animals. >> you've been hunting with dick cheney, haven't you? >> i did indeed. >> what was that like? you lived to tell the tale. >> dick cheney is a avery good wing shot. will >> humans or animals? >> ducks. >> you got into trouble over that. because they said there was a potential conflict in something you were presiding over. how carefully do you think -- before you accept an invitatio to go hunting with dick cheney, how hard do you think about that as a potential conflict? >> well, in that cases, i had accepted the invitation long before the case that was the alleged source of the conflict was before the court. but -- and that was nothing. cheney was n

. >> if something happens, it will come bfrom ruth bader ginsberg leaving the court. >> i think that's a little paranoid. >> no, it's not. >> he said outright that's not going to be the mission of his first term. >> he's required to nominate a pro-life justice. not to mention required to do it by his base. >> whatever the republican congress passed, if it went through the senate, he would certainly sign it into life if it was pro-life legislation. the other thing i would say here about the terms of the sort of abortion debate, i have been struck as a virginian and as someone that ran for office in virginia by how much the landscape of that conversation has changed. i pointed this out a while back. i think it's worth repeating. tim kaine when he ran for governor in 2005, his first line on his stance on abortion was i have a faith-based opposition to abortion. now his first line in his abortion stance affirming his support of roe v. wade and says he will fight to keep it available for women. the terrain has changed because republicans have gone too far to the extreme. things like personh

whether presidential nomination could tip the balance of power on the court, so, for example, if ruth bader ginsberg elected president, he could nominate a reliable conservative as he said he would and turn the court into a truly conservative court. if president obama were re-elected and he got the opportunity to select a replacement, one of the names we've been hearing for obama is -- well, i'll show you talk about this graphic. these are the republicans. that's diane sikes, a judge out of wisconsin. this is somebody obama might pick. that's diane wood. she was one of those names we heard before on some of the other nominations, and there on the right is the attorney general out of california. a lot of speculation that she could also be named. she's also a person who has been named as a possible replacement for eric holder should he ever leave the attorney general's office any time soon, suzanne. >> thank you, joe. good to see you. >>> not one, but at least two affairs and many more secrets. arnold schwarzenegger, well, he says he is not perfect. we're going to take a look at why he is opening up.
