in the three places i write i have a picture of thomas moore every place. he's my patron saint when i was converted, which was only -- only nine years ago. >> what does that mean, a patron saint. >> you pick a saint for your -- that's your standard when you became a katrina rick convert or you become a catholic. even if you're a cradle catholic. he was a saintly person. he was a believer in peace, which i am. he was -- he distrusts government tremendously. he eventually went to the execution, which i hope i don't do, because he would not succumb to chief politics at the tile. he is my i todol, my hero. i'm sure he wouldn't approve of journalism we have today, but i try to think of something that would not embarrass him when i write something. >> of your previous books, which was your favorite? >> well, the political biography of lyndon johnson was the best thing i ever did. it was a joint product with roy evans. i was 36 years old. it's the kind of book i couldn't write now. it's really a good book. an excellent book. >> why couldn't you write it now? >> i

thomas moore and st. john fisher. but regardless of your tradition and what they otherwise fall within those two weeks, we invite you to join us in prayer and in a great national campaign of teaching and witness for religious liberty. this may take as many forms as they are great religious traditions in our country and will itself serve as a sign of the religious diversity that flows from religious freedom and that makes our country great. for example, we are encouraging all catholic churches to ring their bells on june 21 and july 4 at noon eastern time, 9:00 a.m. pacific time. and so we hope other houses of worship with bells will join us in that special sign of sol lairty and support for religious liberty. to let freedom ring. the possibilities, of course, are endless. prayer services for religious liberty with your own tradition, ecumenical and interfaith event to show the breadth of support for this foundational value, just to name a few. here's the key point. united states bishops and faithful catholics in this

>> thomas moore, st. john fisher. look at the history of the catholic church.ts to go against their conscience. and the president of the united states is acting like henry the viii asking these people to go against their conscience. megyn: he isn't threatening to burn anybody at the stake. >> he's not going behead anybody. maybe he's going to behead the catholic church, i don't know. but he picked the wrong fight for himself but the right fight for the republican party and conservatives. megyn: the administration has to worry about the optics of this. you have got catholic priests and nuns out there, then you have got folks who run catholic hospitals or institutions who flat out refuse the rule of law which is the one thing that binds us all together in this country. the rule of law. lots of laws people don't like but they have to follow them. >> there is also that freedom of religion clause. and the fact that the catholic church is living with that freedom of religion. we have the right to do that within our organization. we have the absolute right. people wor

in a man for all season, sir thomas moore is facing execution for standing by his conscious in a timeeducation. moore tells his prosecutors, i do not harm, i say none harm, i think nonfarm. and if this be not enough to think ashman to keep a man alive in good faith i long not to live. thank god we have not gotten to that point. but our task to make sure we never get to that point. we cannot allow that tactics this divide and conquer strategy to succeed. if the hhs can, we will subsidize abortion causing drugs now. we, in fact, where will it stop? if they can get us to subsidize abortions, it will not stop at just abortion. so, we are being, not being alarmists but we take alarm. james madison knew something of liberty. the people, and i quote, the people are right, madison said, to take the first advance other liberties. the battle is waging in washington without question, but the likely battlefront of this fight is in our respective states. and at your local hospital or adoption agency. the question is, are you, are we up for the challenge? will we take a stand?

moore and her boyfriend passed out in the house. lawyers say they were struck well drug addiction -- struggling with drug addiction at the time. >>> former d.c. councilman harry thomas jr. is headed to prison for more than three years. 38 month sentence is halfway between what the lawyers hoped for and what the prosecutors demanded. he stole more than $350,000 meant to go to city youth sports program. in january he pleaded guilty to stealing the money and filing false tax returns and he'll report to prison in a few weeks. >>> maryland state majority leader rob garagiola is now facing a reprimand for an ethics violation. the joint committee on legislative ethics received a citizen complaint about the montgomery county democrat. it was filed during his failed primary campaign in maryland's sixth congressional district. the committee found garagiola did not disclose money he made working for a lobbying firm before he took office. >>> organizers of an effort to overturn maryland's new congressional districts are going to announce their leaders later this morning in baltimore. mdpetitions.com is trying to collect more than 55,000 signatures to force a referendum in novem

moore joins me this morning. congresswoman, i appreciate you making time for us. i would like to know why you share with us your personal story to make the point you make. >> well, thomaslling my own story, it puts a face on these discussions. we spend endless hours with talking points and/or doublespeak, and i don't think the message really gets through to the other side. we don't have a conversation about what's at stake. the particular bill that was passed yesterday really diminishes protections for victim victims and actually increases the rights of the abusers, and their bill really triggered this memory for me because, you know, the rest of that clip which you didn't play is i actually did the right thing. i went to the hospital. i went to court. but the prosecution 20 years before was not sensitive to the victim. so they put me on trial. they talked about the fact that i had a child out of wedlock, they talked about what i was wearing at the time, the fact that i voluntarily got in the car with him. and i was on trial. >> right, victimizing the victim. >> this bill sort of takes us back. it's a recession back. it gives the abuser more rights. it assumes there's
