in the case of texas justice going to the grand jury.er catches a man molesting his young daughter and he beats the man to death. >> we were sitting right there, and we discussed what little we knew about it. and i frankly said, i would give the guy a medal. wake up! that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. fohalf the calories plus vgie nutrition. could've had a v8. but when i was diagnosed with prostate cancer... i needed a coach. our doctor was great, but with so many tough decisions i felt lost. unitedhealthcare offered us a specially trained rn who helped us weigh and understand all our options. for me cancer was as scary as a fastball is to some of these kids. but my coach had hit that pih before. we're 78,000 people looking out for 70 million americans. : shannon: an accused gangster gicial girlfriend sentenced to 18 years in prison. she was convicted for helping whitey bulger hide from the law. he is wanted in connection with 19 murders. molly line has the details from boston. >> reporter: the family members of the victims of jame

supervise criminal homes and reduce the size of the correctional rationalizer the texas department of criminal justice meet this challenge every day we're serving the people of texas. it's an eye for an eye on it so far to it i know that there are places out there that. will cut your hands out cut your fingers off. you know if you steal they cut your hand out and that takes care of that i mean if i lost my hand for stolen i think i'd be a lot less. likely to steal again and. it's not think ignore it or belittle it it's to announce like most things less that affection directly. like when karla faye tucker got executed our. carry. gary graham i mean we had it every day i don't think there was another satellite truck left in the entire united states every one of them was here. and i mean i had to sort out over took the community and i was kind of things but but most times it's always you know it's always mentioning the paper and you know my local. reporters always goes to the executions other than that it's not. it's just part of life here. for people there's an illinois. policy surely not five times and

growing controversy over texas justice in a kindergarten classroom. while a teacher ordered her students to attack a bully. megyn: we are getting concerns today about a massive bill coming due for cities and states and that means you around the country and questions about how it's going to be paid for. nationwide government officials are estimating that taxpayers are facing unfunded public pension costs upwards of $900 billion. but a report getting new attention today shows the real amount that we are in the red is a staggering 4 trillion, with a t, and this is all in a report that jpmorgan chase issued to its biggest clients back in 2011, just coming to light right now. lou dobbs is the anchor of lou dobbs tonight on fox business network and a syndicated host. charlie gasarino has an article in the "new york posts" today. we know there are pensions out there, firefighters, police and so on that are promised big pensions and the taxpayer has to pay for the pensions, basically right. >> not basically, we do. megyn: we do. his point is it's a much bigge

not speaking as to whether or not they'll put it in a grand jury but texas law making it clear texas justice>> heather: i'm told we are getting reports, initial reports a grand jury is going to hear the case. so my next question is, how do you go about separating emotion outs of the case? >> well, i don't know it depends on who you are, whether you want to separate out emotion, the district city attorney who handled the cases and presented them to the grand jury, certainly it's about the law and whether or not the evidence corroborates what the father said. the father said, look, i did it. i am sorry. i didn't mean to kill him, but what else do you have to corroborate the story? if he was partially naked, the rapist, if the girl was partially clothed, she was taken to a hospital, you've got her brother saying, daddy that man took her, and then, all the surrounding circumstances seemed to make it clear that this is a case where any parent on seeing this would be emotional and where the law, this intersection between morality and legality, where the law allows that parent to be emotional in th

alabama's new voting law was not right and so they were pursued other states in texas and south carolina were told by the justice department no way this is definitely discrimination and so texas and south carolina are now suing the justice department and it's going on in one end and pennsylvania has individual lawsuits statter by some of the citizens there there's a lawsuit that spied the. a.c.l.u. because there are people there that they can although they're going. be provided with a free voter i.d. from the state they can't get the voter i.d. well let me stop you there since you mention pennsylvania because i want to listen there's a pennsylvania state lawmaker who is a republican and he seems to think that this is a really big deal that too many people who aren't citizens are voting so let's hear what he has to say and we can listen close because he seems to take a little while to get to why he thinks voter id laws are so important and by the end the truth kind of comes out. this is about making sure that every voting citizen of the state of pennsylvania has an opportunity to cast years or older to make sure

for example, in texas the justice department has argued the proposed redistricting plan for the state house and u.s. congress are impermissible based on evidence maps were manipulated to give the appearance of a minority control while minimizing minority electoral strength. we argued this is precisely the type of discrimination that section 5 was intended to block. the case has been tried. we are awaiting the court's decision. unfortunately, a redistricting is far from the only area of concern in covered jurisdictions. the recent wave to changes of voter dedication laws have also presented a number of problems requiring department attention. in december, we objected to i.d. carolina's voter proposed change that it would have a disproportionate impact. the justice department is also taking important steps to protect the voting rights of men and women fighting overseas and veterans returning home, as well as americans living abroad, citizens with disabilities, college students, and language minorities. a few days ago, we filed a lawsuit and consent decree against california because of t

senator from texas is a former supreme court justice, he spent eye think about 20 years on the bench.h is a judge, a respected judge. he is the former attorney eligible of texas. he has a very keen understanding between the tension of the legislative and the executive branch and a very keen noting of the law. he is not a man to make rash or untempered remarks. he has looked at this carefully. he has become exasperated. i thought it was a very strong statement that this man that understands the prerogatives of the legislateddive branch and used to looking at the perspective of both. holder himself was a state attorney general, from a position of having been a judge, a supreme court justice, he is fed up. i thought it was an extraordinary statement. >> sean: all right. republicans and democrats and dianne feinstein was among them, including chandliss and rogers and a top democrat. said that the leaks jeopardize american lives, talk about this leaks that make obama load good, including the president deciding who is on the hit list every week, every tuesday in the oval office. seems to me

a number of school districts in texas are sending tens of thousands of students into the criminal justiceystem every year for violating school rules. newshour correspondent tom bearden has our story, part of our american graduate series. reporter: 17-year-old diane is still upset after spending 24 hours in jail for missing class. the 11th grade honor student in willis texas was locked up for contempt of court after being warned by a justice of the peace to stop skipping school. the judge who issued that warning in april sentenced her to jail last month when the absences continued. >> if you let one of them run loose, what are you going to do with the rest of them? let them go too? >> reporter: after her story was reported the international spotlight fell on texas' school truancy laws. laws that were originally crafted in the mid 19th century to keep kids in class and prevent parents from pulling them out to work in the fields and later in factories. but for students like her, life is more complicated than it used to be. she is a straight-a student who holds down two jobs in order to help

you served a texas supreme court justice, and i just want to be clear on this, are you asking for thegeneral's resignation because of fast and furious, because of the national leaks, because of a combination of the way that he's attempting to handle the two? what's the reason? >> well, it's a combination of things. i worried that when attorney general holder was nominated that his conduct during the clinton justice department would won in strait his -- would demonstrate his inability to separate himself from covering for the politics of the administration, and i questioned his ability to demonstrate independence when it was called for as the chief law enforcement officer of the government. and unfortunately, everything i've seen since he was confirmed by the senate has demonstrated that my worst fears, in fact, have become true. because he's, basically, providing political cover for this administration rather than doing the sort of nonpartisan, independent investigations. and now he appoints a political crony of the president, somebody who worked in his own administration and claims t

the department of justice recently moved to block implementation of voter i.d. laws enacted by legislatures in texas and south carolina. the texas proposal was based on a similar law passed by the indiana legislature which was upheld by the supreme court in 2008. the justice department's challenge to the law ignores supreme court precedent that affirms a state's right to enact laws to protect the integrity of its elections. the department of justice even threatened to sue florida for trying to remove ineligible non-citizens from its voter rolls. why would the department of justice not want states to remove ineligible felons, ineligible non-citizens and the dead from their voter rolls? the administration's actions aren't just wrong, they're arrogant, undemocratic and an n insult to the rule of law. the disregard for the constitution of law not only undermines or democracy, it threatens our national security. the justice department has not taken the initiative to prosecute leaks of national security secrets. recent leaks about a foiled bomb plot out of yemen in the words of senate intelligence chair w

one of the founding members of the birther caucus in texas calling for the impeachment of justice elena's watch. why not, you know? >> we still have the issue of justice kagan as i've been raising for months now. either she was totally derelict and negligent in her duties as solicitor general and had absolutely nothing to do with the most important bill to this president, her boss, or she did have something to do with it. she hasç violated federal law. and as such she needs to be removed from the supreme court. so i think it's important to look at justice kagan for potential impeachment. >> you know, i don't know what to say. let me go back to joan on this. you know, it seems to me that -- did you all watch jean schmidt and her sort of physical reaction to what she thought -- she was listening to fox and got the story wrong. and she was so seized with kind of a seizure of excitement that the bill had been declared unconstitutional. it was physical. these people's reaction, what do you make of it? is it that important to them that the president be destroyed? >> well, that's exactly what

from the bench durig three days of oral arguments whicwhere the justices powerfuly articulated the claim we've been making all along since texas and the other 25 states filed this lawsuit, and that is that this mandate is unprecedented. as justice kennedy said from the bench, this reshapes the historic relationship between individuals on the one hand and government on the other hand, and greta, this decision is going to shape the future arc of the united states constitution and impact this country for decades. >> greta: all right. but regardless of what the questions were and your deep seated desire and what you think is the intellectually right answer, the fact is we've all been surprised by judges' decision. is that not a fair statement and you likewise could be surprised come tomorrow or the next day or next week? >> well, it is a fair statement. as you know, i served on the texas supreme court myself and i know many lawyers walked away thinking i was going to decide one way when it turned out i decided a different way. we can't take complete stock in what the justices said. we do take a great confidence, though, based upon

texas. the driver walked away with minor injuries. the justice department will not retry him encore rupgs charges. two weeks ago the federal judge declared a mistrial after jurors founded cards not guilty on one count and were deadlocked on five others. >> he is not responsibility for the ballooning deficit. that is the republicans who quote dined and dashed. >> it's like somebody goes to a restaurant orders a big steak dinner just as you are sitting down they leave and accuse you have running up the tab. >> laura ingram responding to those comments last night on "the o'reilly factor." >> numbers on this are devastating no matter how he parses his words and uses the cute restaurant analogy doesn't change the fact that now we have more money added to our national debt during his 3 and a half years than we had added to the national get. that is a staggering figure. he's right, bush didn't over spend and ov-- did over spend a over spent big. to the country's detriment and their party's detriment. president obama has one upped that. instead of learni
