don, you act surprised steven a. comments, when the fact it's the mentality of youngsters in sports today. this is some of your comments. we were talking about the story of the nba players bringing the handguns into the locker room. that's from lap 58. acted surprised at steven's comments. i was not surprised at his comments. it makes me question when i see the consistency of black players getting into these kinds of troubles and one has to wonder why. another says, these players have to wonder that they are world class athletes on a world stage. time to leave the thug life behind. joshua e. porter says that's a generalization talking about issues of african-american players, male players. professional players needs to be looked into when it comes to guns, but you have to consider then

nba analyst steven a. smith told me last hour he thinks a lot of secondary issues including race, african-american players, male players in general is all a part of this story. take a listen and we're going to talk about the tweets after this. >> you have quite a few players, it's not the majority but the actions of a few taint the many. you have the actions of a few acting like prisoners in a prison yard or something. >> what do you mean about african-americans? what do you mean -- explain that. >> i'm talking about the arrest of african-american players in the nfl, talking about the behavior of some players on the nba level of african-american decent. something that hasn't been talked about quite enough. >> you think it's cultural? >> i think you can make the argument it's cultural right now because you look at the way guys act and the way some guys are conducting themselves. it has been a problem that has been lamented by league commissioners for quite some time. they don't go to that level where they p

justice stevens explained in his dissent that the principle of star ray decisis -- it stands decided -- assures that our nation's -- and i quote -- "bedrock principles are founded in the law rather than in the proclivities of individuals." it is jarring that the unrestrained activism of the conservative bloc on the supreme court led them to pay so little heed to long-standing judicial precedence, brushing them aside with almost no hesitation. justice stevens noted that the only relevant thing that has changed since those prior precedents -- and i quote -- "is the composition of this court." and is it truly just a coincidence that this same bloc of judges just last year invented a new individual constitutional right to bear arms that no previous supreme court had noticed for more than 200 years? or is something else going on here? where core republican political goals are involved is stare decisis now out the window, at least with the republican activist judges? another supposed conservative principle thrown aside by these activists was the approach to constitutional interpretation th

it says justice stevens' bill had three major elements. the court had reached out to decide questions not properly before it and issued a broad ruling when narrow grounds were available and failed to show due respect to the president n. his concurrence thursday, chief justice john roberts said he respected the president must have limits. otherwise, he said, "congratulation would be legal, minimum wage laws would be unconstitutional, and the government could wiretap ordinary criminal suspects without first obtaining warrants." again, there's more this morning. that's in the "new york times." the politico has some of the reaction from those here in washington, d.c., to the decision. this is jean cummings. he quotes ken gross, a campaign finance expert from a law frm here in d.c., he says it's time for everybody to calm down. he says he thinks that who other lawyers in the field also think that possible repercussions of the decision have been exaggerated. the reality of the decision is likely to be something more modest, mainly shifting of ca

justice stevens wrote the opinion for the court. he said, we do have to look into what's essential to the nature of golf, and he looked up the history of golf. and he said, from the beginning the essence of golf has been shot-making, causing the ball to move from the ground to the hole in as few strokes as possible. that is the essential nature of golf. now, there was a dissent. there were two in dissent. it was 7-2 ruling. one of the dissenters was justice scalia. and, he, he took on this argument about the essential nature of golf. in fact he challenged the aristotlian premise underlying the court's opinion. he argued that a game has no essential purpose. that was his argument. here is how he put it. to say that something is essential, is ordinarily to say that it is necessary to the achievement of a certain object. but since it is the very nature after game to have no object accept amusement, that is what distinguishes games from productive activity, [laughter] it is quite impossible to say that any of the games arbitrary rules i

review is drawing on the best science and technology, including the expertise of secretary of energy steven chu and his department. i also directed my counterterrorism and homeland security advisor, john brennan, to lead a thorough review into our terrorist watch listing system so we can fix what went wrong. as we discussed today, this ongoing review continues to reveal more about the human and systemic failures that almost cost nearly 300 lives. we will make a summary of this preliminary report public within the next few days. but let me share some of what we know so far. as i described over the weekend , elements of our intelligence community knew that umar farouk abdulmutallab had traveled to yemen and joined up with extremists there. it now turns out that our intelligence community knew of other red flags that al qaeda in the arabian peninsula sought to strike not only american targets in yemen but the united states itself. we had information that this group was working with an individual who was known -- who we now know was in fact, the individual involved in the christmas attack. the

steven a. smith has been covering the nba for espn and nationally syndicated radio host.ou don't have to be totally hip in basketball to ask this very one specific question. and that is what was gilbert arenas doing with guns in a locker room? >> well, clearly from -- from his own admission he was being an idiot. that's only way to slice it now. it is completely catastrophic for the league. mainly for him. specifically because who knows what laws he has violated. it is against the law in d.c. to carry a concealed weapon. for to you carry it into the workplace. you know, all of these different things. there's a litany of violations we are talking about here. and there is a question about the guy that he got involved with. this is a guy that played at georgia tech university. seemed to be somebody of decent intelligence. but yet, still he didn't walk away from the incident himself and who knows what role he played or whether he indeed had a weapon in the arena himself. all of those things have question marks and a story broken by peter vecsey of the new york post. did an ou

as justice stevens noted in his dissent, the only relevant thing that has changed since austin mcconnell is the composition of the court. last week's decision and this troubling inconsistency with the court's other interpretations of the constitution leads us with serious questions about how to ensure that our elections are not corrupted by unchecked corporate spending. it also reinforces the profound concern i have had about the real world -- the real-world consequences of the supreme court's recent decisions for hard-working americans, real americans on issues like equal pay for equal work. and basically this activist conservative supreme court ruled that men could get paid more than women or the power of congress under the 14th and 15th amendment to passively rights laws, like the voting rights act, or issues thought to be long-settled, like the meaning of brown v. board of education. the newly constituted supreme court seems determined to accrue to itself the powers given by the constitution, to congress and to rewrite long-established presence dense, certainly act in contrary to wha

as justice stevens said, it's a it defies common sense. in fact, it ignores common sense. and it focuses on the dollars and cents that have made this system corrosive. we feel proud as members standing here today that we have a solution, a remedy that can pass buckley varyo valero. that will provide us with the opportunity to have the option to turn to small donors so we don't have corporate interests drowning out the voices of everyday americans who have a great stake in this great republic of ours and in our democracy. and that's why we're going to move forward with this legislation in as timely a fashion as we possibly can. there are great examples of this legislation that exist across this country. in maine, connecticut and arizona and i'm proud to say one of the lead co-responseers of this bill shelly is here to speak next who has first hand knowledge of the bill in effect in maine. shelly? >> thank you, very much. chairman larsen, thank you to everybody for being here today and my colleagues who are tall strong supporters of finance reform and i first want to echo wh
