i guess by that measure ruth ginsburg would qualify. i'm not sure of anybody else. but back to your points, larry, you make two kinds of points, one on the transparency with an undertone of ethics. and then on the kind of work product and who do we put on the court? i think those are two kooint quite different points. maybe we can discuss them separately. also on the transparency point you make a couple different points. television is an old issue one can debate, and it's been debated for many years, so maybe we can put that aside for the minute. but you mention judicial ethics and junkets and things. is that a problem? they do disclose their finances like every other federal judge and they do hold themselves to the code of ethics. the formal kods don't apply to the justices even though they abide by it is because who would judge the justices, right? do others think these are problems that indicate that the court is falling short? let's look at the ethical part of the transparency. >> it's not so much that you point to any particular thing that they do and that thin

justice stephen breyer breyer supported by ruth bader ginsburg, said it's highly unlikely the death penaltyo matter how it's carried out violates the constitution. sonia sotomayor said lethal injection can be so painful it may be the "chemical equivalent of being burned at the stake." on the other side antonin scalia said "welcome to groundhog day." dismissing the defense as a rehash of past claims and gobbledygook. and clarence thomas wrote that the court should look again at making the death penalty mandatory for some crimes. >> the real way to know with the supreme court whether their passions are high is when the justices read from the bench. and when four of them do, you know that it's basically a nuclear fight. >> reporter: in another case late today the court put a hold on a controversial texas abortion law that was to take effect on wednesday. women's groups say it would force half the clinics in the state to close. but that law will remain blocked for at least several months while it's on appeal. lester? >> pete williams outside the supreme court for us, thank you. >>> much more st

justice breyer joined by justice ruth bader ginsburg urged the court to reconsider its ruling allowing capital punishment, writing for the first time "i believe it is highly likely the death penalty violates the eighth amendment prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment." he added the death penalty is unreliable and arbitrary, saying there is evidence indicating that courts sentence to death individuals who may well be actually innocent. fordham law school professor deborah denno said breyer was seeking to influence the national debate. >> if you have a justice making that large a claim in a key death penalty claim then that's going to add to the debate. it's going to add to the conversation in a potentially very critical way. >> reporter: the dissent triggered a sharp response from justice antonin scalia said it was full of internal country dictions and gobbledygook, and let them eat cake obliviousness to the concerns of everyday americans. the court has never suggested the death penalty is categorically unconstitutional, and, scott there certainly aren't five votes on this court to st

[applause] we look forward to it. you already mentioned many times

i guess by that measure ruth ginsburg would qualify. i'm not sure if anybody has. you make two kinds of points. one is on the transparency and with the undertone of ethics. then the kind of work product to do with him on the course. those are two quite different points and maybe we can discuss them separately. also on the transparency point, you make a couple different points. television is an old issue. one can debate and it's been debated for many years so maybe we can put that aside. you mention judicial picks and junkets and things. it's that a problem? they do disclose their finances like every other judge and made as i understand it as a formal matter, the code doesn't apply to the justices, even though they abide by because who would judge the justices. the two others named that these are problems that indicate the court is falling short? let's look at the ethical part of the transparency. >> just to be clear about that point, it is not said much the viewpoint to any particular thing that would make a difference. it's more about the overall culture in the se

that was ruth bader ginsburg in 1993. apparently she sees things a great deal differently now. further down in the article, edward whelan writes, human nature being what it is, it's not easy for a justice to recuse in a closely divided case that she obviously cares passionately about. this is exactly the situation justice scalia faced a dozen years ago in the wake of his public comments criticizing a ninth circuit ruling against the pledge of allegiance. as "slate's" dahla lithwig wrote at the time, scalia was intellectually honest enough to know that heslipped and he does -- and he thus, quote recused himself from what would have been one of the most important church-state cases of his career, unquote. his recusal meant, quote, the court may well split 4-4 on the case, in which case the ninth circuit's decision will stand for all the states in its jurisdiction. we also have a quote from justice sonia sotomayor, quote, i suspect even with us giving gay rights to marry, that there's some gay people who will choose not to. just as there's some heterosexual couples who choose not

in a dissent, justices stephen breyer and ruth bader ginsburg suggested they're prepared to deem the death penalty unconstitutional. and finally, in a key electoral case, the court sided with an effort by arizona voters to draw their own congressional and state legislative districts. the decision could have a major impact on limiting partisan gerrymandering. in egypt, the country's public prosecutor has been killed in a bomb attack in cairo. hisham barakat died in hospital monday after a remote bomb detonated next to his car outside his home as he drove to work. eight others were also hurt in the blast. barakat became a target of militants after he sent thousands of islamists to trial following the overthrow of president mohamed morsi in 2013. we will have more on egypt later in the broadcast. israel has stopped the latest effort by foreign activists to break the blockade of the gaza strip by sea. a boat leading the freedom flotilla iii was intercepted monday about 100 nautical miles off the gaza coast. organizers say the flotilla is carrying solar panels and medical equipment for ga

. >> terry, in an interview this year on msnbc, supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg talked about how poor women are affected by these abortion restrictions. listen to this. >> it is not true that it is inaccessible women of means. that's the crying shame. we will never see a day when women of means are not able to get a safe abortion in this country. who does that hurt? it hurts women who lack the means to go someplace else. all the restrictions they operate against the woman who doesn't have freedom to move to go where she is able to get safely. what she wants. >> what's your reaction to the justice? >> she's absolutely right. in fact it is as if we've been pushed back to the 1950s. part of the reason why roep v. wade was decided the way it was, justices realized well-off women were able to get safe abortions. it was the lower income and in fact middle income women who were restricted. and why should they have good access to health care and all the others not have good access. we cannot allow men like antonin scalia and saul you'll alito to push us back. we're not going to allow
