why thurgood marshall? how did you get from hubert humphrey to thurgood marshall? [laughter] >> we interviewed roger wilson in the hubert humphrey film. they were friends. close to the end of the film, i was looking for new subjects and called roger. i said we would like to film his uncle roy. he said he was a good man. he was just straight and did all kinds of wonderful work, but he was a mid range businessman type and not that exciting historically. he said if you want to do an exciting story, do thurgood marshall. he said that because he grew up in baltimore and love thurgood marshall and thought he would be a great subject. thurgood marshall knew vice president humphrey. they traveled together. there was a connection. that is how it happened. the reason i wanted to do it is because i like to tell untold stories [indiscernible] untold stories about people who are heroes who no one knows about who continue to shape our lives. this is really an untold story. there have been a lot of great books, but film has not done this part of the story. i like to tell those un

as a result, the delays back near bwi thurgood marshall.sky 9 has been checking out the crash for us. southbound single file to the right getting past the accident. we're told a single vehicle was involved but off the road. obviously there were injuries and they're trying to retrieve both the passenger and the vehicle itself. southbound on 295, look at that. 95 is the way to go although heavier volume. lanes open to the cat beltway. -- capital beltway. new hampshire avenue jamming up between colesville and georgia i believe is where they were looking for the crash reported on the shoulder. the fire department is going. they may have to block a lane on the right side so that will take extra time. kenilworth avenue, d.c. 295, the volume building now. knew it would. pennsylvania and the exits for the 11th street bridge, lanes open there. virginia 95, slowdown getting into quantico, getting into woodbridge, past the prince william parkway and across the occoquan. more heavy traffic in newington and past edsall road. route 28, western montgomery

i reference that because we had a supreme court justice, thurgood marshall, who was a pullman porter.ow he paid for law school and ended up on the bench of the supreme court. not only was it an economic impact that the porters have, but it was also an impact on our society, as far as what the next generations did, because of that economic largess the earlier generations aren't. the brotherhood of sleeping car porters really lasted up until the end of pullman service as we know it, about 1968. that was only a couple years short of the railroads transferring intercity passenger business over to amtrak, that we know today. the union merged into another entity. but by that time, the causes that the porters were working on -- basic labor rights and working conditions -- had really magnified itself into civil rights, the greater civil rights movement. and what you saw coming out of the 1960's really kind of transformed into a lot of the labor union activity at the time. i almost can't imagine, what would it be like to work a sleeping car, at full capacity, 25, 30 people constantly demanding

thurgood marshal at 61 degrees. sustained winds have been 15, 20, 22 miles per hour. now the sustained winds out of the northwest have diminished a bit, 10, 12 miles per hour. and that will be the pattern as this thursdayh evening. with skies clearing, 49peratures will drop 42 to by the overnight hours. with a little bit of a breeze, that's going to put a chill in the area. so plan hea ahead as you go offo work. sweaters, a good idea, because there will be a cool in the air. through the mid-atlantic. this is actually a pretty wide area of high pressure that's developing to the south and it's kind of pushing in behind the storm system that was going up just abreast of the d.c. area yesterday afternoon and evening. now it's offshore. kind of getting that backlash with some of that low cloudiness. but that will clear up. pressure will become more that, a littleth bit of a warm-up. a really nice string of days for the next few. sunshine, breezy weather. average temperatures in the 40's, about 63 by midday. 67 by the afternoon. as we head through the day on saturday, close

i like to say thurgood marshall. but my strongest admiration for him is the work he did even before he was the justice. i mean, his work as a trial lawyer around the country, i think is seldom appreciated. the hard work he did and the risks he took -- he was very remarkable person. i'm not sure who -- one other example was my friend because he had been encaged during a form of intelligence in a war. so we had some background in ome -- common. he's a good friend although we frequently disagreed on the merits of the cases. >> now, did the deliberations among justices affect the outcome? nishwari asked that question. how much deliberate lation rations occurs and how important is it? >> well, it's important but the amount and it varies with the cases. some cases are -- deliberation is very brief. but the deliberation almost entirely occurs at the conference at the end of the week. on friday we took the cases from tuesday -- tuesday. wednesdays we discussed the monday cases. but the deliberation is orderly at the conferen

bwi, thurgood marshall 67 degrees. 69 in annapolis. 78 degrees the warm spot in fredericksburg. we had plenty of cloud cover to the west. a cold front kind of a complex system with an area of low pressure spinning across the ohio valley and that shoots northward and will push all of this eastward tonight. so at the moment you can see on satellite we have fairly clear skies, patches of clear skies in the metro area but the overcast now just crossing interstate 81. the shenandoah valley. we have the first batch of rain to deal with probably coming into our western suburbs a little after 7:00 tonight. the evening showers and then around 2:00 comes the cold front later tonight. 11:00, midnight. even the early overnight hours. if everything works as scheduled, everything should push through by 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning. as you'll see here in a few minutes the 5:00 or 6:00 time period is pretty important to a lot of folks. this is future cast. this is one model we look at that simulates the weather in the atmosphere. i can show you a few other models that show different solutions. b

so, it's, i wouldn't even put her in the mold of thurgood marshall.ate but she is doing something different given her background. just she still first and foremost a judge. >> host: how would you describe john roberts? >> guest: a lot of different ways. he is definitely interested in tradition. in going through channels. making sure things look just right. he is actually quite, quite a public speaker. he is quite a, you should -- >> host: c-span has covered him several times, whenever we can. >> guest: great public speaker. pa great sense of timing. he cuts a very positive public presence from the bench. he used to argue it from the bench. he argued 39 cases. he is a very effective advocate for himself. as i said, he is a pretty button-down individual. he is just give some folks. roman catholic. he is from indiana. child of a father who was, worked for a steel plant. was an executive. he is one of, i think, three or four children and he was only boy in the family. i think he has two or three sisters. the eldest. went to harvard for undergrad. harvard

the 20 disclosure of the membership of the socialist party and they are written by that artist thurgood marshalland the court said that ran afoul of the first amendment. there was another case in the case that required disclosure and they are they are on the due process grounds and of course the court set that aside. in 1976 he aclu opinion of course brief in the buckley case argued that its support it supports research and carefully drafted to disclosure requirements. nadine said yesterday that that view maintains so what i would say is that when you talk about disclosure, first of all the sides of the contribution. if somebody gets $50 it seems to me that the state interests in disclosing their names particularly in the highly controversial case diminishes. so you kind of look at the size of the contribution versus the gravity. if there's actual threats, harassment, reprisals, that could be a factor. how well tailored is the law. there are precedences that this is going to be an area subject to some scrutiny and it may well be that as earlier courts have held that due process concerns in first
