what's the state senate senate bill eight ten known as a single payer health care act for california health care for california act was two votes shy of the necessary twenty one votes needed to pass it out of the upper chamber and it's not because senators were opposed to the measure but instead because for moderate democrats decided not to vote at all states senators alex podia one vargas michael rubio and rod wright all abstained from voting on the critical legislation but all four of these guys will have another chance on tuesday when democrats in the state senate plan to bring the legislation up again for a vote so what are the chances now that california could lead the way and establish a single payer health care system in the nation's most populous state joining me now is the sponsor of this legislation california state senator mark leno representing california's district three senators welcome. thank you john going to be with you great to have you with us first of all about your legislation this legislation passed twice before but each time was vetoed by republican governor sc

after serving 12 of those 14 years in the office of the illinois state senate parliamentarian, i cannot describe to you the heady feeling when i went on the floor of the united states house of representatives, they handed me the gavel, and i actually presided over the u.s. house. after 14 years of silence as the illinois state senate parliamentarian, i was speaking before one of the greatest legislative bodies in the world. so i have some appreciation for the role of the parliamentarian, and particularly for the contribution of people like alan frumin. in some respects, it's a thankless job because you're bound to make some people upset. as the majority leader mentioned earlier, we respected alan's impartiality as senate parliamentarian, but many times would go back to our offices and be very critical of it at the same time. we had hoped he would rule in our favor instead of the other way. but i can tell you this, he has been faithful to precedent, he has been faithful to the rules of the united states senate, and that is all we can ask of a person who serves in his position. he has had

time as i spent with david during the confirmation process and visiting members of the united states senate, i was not surprised at all by -- i had not been surprised by any of the decisions of the votes he cast while a member of the united states supreme court for 19 years. likewise, i am not surprised by any of the votes that clarence thomas has cast during that time. one of the biggest hurdles we had is the words that the president used to describe clarence thomas when he sort of announced it. my view is he's my guy and that's the way it is. it set a standard that made it a little bit more difficult. clarence thomas was a great nomination. he'll have a longer lasting impact, i think, upon the domestic policy agenda of the president of the united states than anyone left behind despite the great efforts that we made during our time there. i'm done. thank you. >> was i right or not? these are the people that make representation work in this country. if you were president, wouldn't you hire them first? we actually started late. and so there is some time for questions. yes? it's not really a

the home of jesse ventura and now united states senator al franken. n't voted a republican for president since 1992. i love my state. it's filled with great people but i know the challenges as a conservative that mitt faced for a republican in massachusetts. he cut taxes. he cut spending. he grew jobs. and he did the important work on behalf of the conservative momentum in so many other ways. i want to share one other point with you. that's in addition to the other governor, leader of the olympics and private business leader, i hope you're proud and pleased to support a candidate and with the character of mitt romney. and the future first lady of this great nation. anne romney. these are two individuals who don't just talk the talk. they walk the walk, and if you look and see the way they live their -- and there's not going to be a day that we pick up the newspaper and see that mitt romney has done something stupid or something that's embarrassed the nation. he's a man of great character and integrity, so they will be a great couple for leading america

in any event, a senate judiciary committee report from 1905 does not govern the united states senate in 2012, 107 years later. the senate as constituted today decides its rules and proceedings. the department is on shaky legal ground when it claims that -- quote -- "whether the house has consented to the senate's just remember the of more than three days does not determine the senate's practical availability during a period of pro forma sessions. and, thus, does not determine the existence of a recess under the recess appointments clause." end of quote from the department's opinion. there is no basis -- none -- for treating the same pro forma sessions differently for the purposes of the two clauses. the department simply cannot shr it both -- cannot have it both ways. yet it tries to. and the justice department's opinions contain other equally preposterous arguments. for instance, the opinion claims that the administration's prior statement to the supreme court through former solicitor general kagan that recess appointments can be made only if the senate is in recess for more than thr

now they say they are going after four more senators including the state senate president. the bulk of the remaining signatures of those 1.9 million signatures, are not just to recall the four senators and scott walker but also to recall the lieutenant governor. wow. for the impressive show of force that today represents for the anti-walker forces in wisconsin, governor scott walker still seems sure of himself. at least he sounded that way this morning. >> we're going to get a chance to do what's never been done before, have a chance to be elected twice in the same term. >> you know, maybe he will be elected twice in the same term. with guys like hank greenberg and the cook brothers behind him, a billion percent, all the other motivated billionaires he has on his side, john nichols wrote about how 10% of the money that governor scott walker is known to have raised to stop the recall effort against him, 10% of that money has come from texas alone. with all that money, governor scott walker can presumably raid infinite money and maybe he will win when the recall election happe
