. >>> still ahead, liberals are fussing over whether ruth bader ginsburg should leeft the supreme courtl tell you why. >>> first, washington state's governor calls it a square mile of total devastation. an update from the deadly mudslide when we come back. nds to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg cebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high bloodressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine

. >> they are saying what you have to do is get ruth ginsburg off the court. they want her gone because they think it will be easier to confirm her successor right now while the democrats control the senate. your thoughts on that? >> well, you know, remember a few years ago when the democrats put up an ad of paul ryan taking an old lady in the wheelchair, pushing her off the cliff? well, now that is what they're trying to do. they're basically saying to her, look lady you're probably going to die at an inopportune time, so why don't you just quit? >> they're not saying she is going to die, but to take it easy soon. >> they're panicking they're going to lose control of the senate, because if they lose control of the senate they lose control of her ability to control her successor. >> even if she listened to them and you heard the sound bites earlier. she hears something like that, she is probably going to say to you, i'm staying extra long. even if you think justice ginsburg takes her marching orders from the far left and she retires, couldn't the republicans s

justices elena kagan, ruth bader ginsburg, and sonia sotomayor, all considered among the court's liberalc. paul clement on whether hobby lobby and conestoga specialties getting the religious exemption would open the door to other religious exemptions, like allowing employees to consume pork profits or earn the minimum wage. the four conservatives on the court, or the three that spoke, samuel alito, antonin scalia, and john roberts pounced on the contraceptive mandate, with alito even suggesting that there might be something wrong with the corporate form if an innin m innamnant object can't have links. here's how they put it. the supreme court in a one-hour, 28-minute session on tuesday staged something like a two-act play on a revolving stage. first, the liberals had their chance and justice anthony kennedy gave them some help and then the scene shifted entirely and the conservatives had their chance, and again, kennedy provided them with some support. and that turns out to be a trend. in a court that's basically split down the middle, 4-4, kennedy is the ultimate swing vote. the one rin

what if ruth bader ginsburg retires? can they overturn obamacare?what the president needs to decide, spend the last two years in foreign travel or seriously negotiate with the congress of the united states. it takes republican votes, but also take a democratic signature. somewhat similar to bill clinton. we got welfare reform, balanced budget. most democrats didn't vote for them. but you had republican who is pushed them through and a willing negotiating partner on the other side. if the president will do that, we can come to grips, entitlement reform, find common ground on infrastructure, get tax reform. i don't think that's going to happen with a democratic senate. >> you mentioned the president and foreign travel. not really a great week for the president in terms of the faceoff with vladimir putin. we loved this from the onion, the satirical website, penning a humanous rous op-ed. with putin saying it's no easy task to forcefully annex an entire province against another country's will. so i just wanted to thank the government of the united state

she said "if you admire ruth bader ginsburg so much, stop asking her to quit." is that ginsburg's special role can be replaced by another cookie cutter democratic pick. but it can't. compared to 1993, the court was less right wing. when president clinton touted her that year, he embraced her unifying approach. >> she will be able to be a force for consensus building on the supreme court, just as she has been on the court of appeals. so that our judges can become an instrument of our common unity in the expression of their fidelity to the constitution. >> a lot has changed since then. while the court should not be reduced to merely an ideological contest, we should remember both parties' picks have been marching the court to the right. george w. bush replaced justice o'connor with a more current justice lito. if liberals want to intensify the fight for progressive bench, we should probably start by pushing more great jurists in the lower courts, not badgering one of the best off the highest court in the land. that does it for us on "the psych o cycle." it's time
