suggest the same of ronald reagan, of antonin scalia, of clarence thomas, of justice roberts, of samuel alitoall of these hardcore conservatives who have said that the second amendment is not about protecting somebody's right to have military-style assault weapons. >> so the question is, you've got the power of the nra versus the power of the emotional force, richard, that you were talking about. and kelly, the president outlined 23 executive orders. tell us about those. but first, what do you make and what are you hearing on capitol hill about the possibility of this legislation as it stands, as he presented it, going through? >> reporter: well, one of the things i think we really have to watch are senate democrats because we know that the house, run by republicans, is not going to jump to take any specific action. speaker boehner's office says they're going to wait and see, what does the senate do and then consider it. so that's sort of a real signal that there won't be any action on the house side. so if you look at senate democrats, what are they prepared to do? and from talking to people

samuel alito said what about a rural area where there isn't a judge or magistrate available in the middlelp you get that warrant. this is going to be a very delicate balance. all we know we'll have a decision from the justices some time before june. jenna: shannon, thank you. jon: the u.s. now says it believes iran is holding a former f.b.i. agent and not terrorists. the man's wife says washington should be doing more to help bring him home. we'll get into that. plus, she is releasing some extraordinary photos that show robert levinson being held whose stafpblgt he disappeared in iran in 2007. efforts to find him have stalled. david lee miller live in fox central now. david. >> reporter: john, it was almost two years ago that christine levinson received an email containing five photos of her missing husband. she is making them public to draw attention to his abduction n. each photo he is dressed in an orange jump suit with shackles around his neck and arms. he is holding signs. he says i am here in guantanamo, do you know where that is. another one reads help me. a third why you cannot he

we got this idea because of the citizens united case, and samuel alito mouthing not true to president obama making i think and this statement about maybe the scope of the law. and you see over time the court struggling with that role, their public role at certain public -- political events like the state of union. the courts presence at the state oof the union has decreased with the justices saying i don't want to be a potted plant at a political pep rally, et cetera. so there are other ways we can see maybe the public thinks of the court more in political terms or the court is more aware of what it does and doesn't want to do activities of other branches of government. >> your thoughts on how conservative this court is compared to other times? >> no, i'm not going to go there. but i would say that what's interesting is not a politicize the court is but whether it reflects the majority reviews of the american people. and i don't know the answer to that but i think that's a very interesting question because in the past i think the court always has by and large done that. >> and just br
