but what did elizabeth cadey stanton do? she shocked society because she paraded the streets showing the baby inside of her and people were aghast. but people were also surprised at the voice and the message that she was carrying, because you see at the time of the feminist movement as we know today with elizabeth cadey stanton and susan b. anthony, they were fighting for all people's rights, not just the right of women, but the right of the african-american, man and woman, and also the right of the child. african-american and white. they were fighting for everyone. and it was elizabeth cadey stanton who was the most shocking of all because what she did was she showed her feminism on the streets. and one of the things that she said was, when we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit. now, think about that. when we consider women are treated as property, i think you can put in there the african-american as well, it is

>> guest: he was accused of violating the tenure of office act when he fired edward stanton, secretary of war. it was a constitutionally shaky statute and was ultimately found unconstitutional, and it might not even have applied to what he was trying to do. so that particular accusation wouldn't have moved me a lot. i think he could properly have been removed from office, and it might have been a very good thing if he had been for undermining the congressional program of reconstruction and, frankly, refusing to enforce laws that were the laws of the land about the most important issue that was then facing the united states. but because high crimes and misdemeanors is such an elusive standard, there was a feeling in congress which we still have that there has to be a crime and not enforcing the law the way you're supposed to didn't feel enough like a crime. so that's how it ended up being the tenure of office act. >> host: as a lawyer, do you support the phrase high crimes and misdemeanors? >> guest: well, as a lawyer, you know, i'm stuck with it. [laughter] >> host: but it can also wor

. >> host: next question from lynn stanton. >> host: there was criticism from the phoenix center earlier this week around maybe not a criticism but more of a suggestion that as the fcc goes forward with its plan that its success be judged against whether the country moves up in ocd rankings for broadband penetration to number nine from its current 15th? 16th? >> guest: right. >> host: in the past the phoenix center and some other organizations have criticized that ranking -- >> guest: yes. >> host: -- as just not really relevant or not well thought out. [laughter] so what is your reaction to now being asked to be judged by -- >> guest: it's a very good question, and it's a fair question, but one of the things we found when we looked at a large series of studies was that, you know, number one, one should be judged on multiple factors. if you pick any one factor over any others, you're going to bias what you're actually doing. we could be number one in broadband penetration, but if our performance was the slowest in the world, if the our applications were the worst, that would not be a vic
