it is the same breakdown we had in the citizens united ruling a few years ago. >> justice breyer, correct me if took the not so much unusual step of reading part of his dissent from the bench. he was not too thrilled with today's ruling. >> he was not. he went after it in very strong terms. he said this court had left all efforts to control the influence of money in politics as a mere remnant of what had been intended to be. he said the court created a big loophole that will let people give a whole -- give money to a whole lot of different places knowing that it will be funneled to a particular candidate. termsressed in as strong as he could have that the court stepped in something that it had no right to be in. >> what is the impact of today's ruling likely to be? cycle,he last election there was something like 1200 people who bumped up against the limit that was in place. it was $117,000 in the last cycle. it is not a huge number of people. it does impact other avenues there has been a lot of coverage on. the koch brothers had been sending money to super political action committees and

this furthers the citizens united ruling, the ruling does not increase the amount an individual can contribute to an individual candidate but what it does is gives the individual the chance to drobt as many candidates as they want -- to contribute to as many candidates as they want without limits. >> to eviscerate any restrictions on the ability of individuals to use the large amounts of influence to political process. in the name of freedom of speech i think what they're doing as justice breyer said in dissent, underlying the fundamental democracy that the freedom of speech is meant to preserve. >> the center for, series of candidates, so how big a deal is it if only that few people can really afford this level of contributions? >> it's a big deal. if everybody could afford it then much less of a problem. the fact that only a relate small number of americans, what it basically does is put political candidates in the pockets of these very billionaires and that's not exactly the way the democratic process should work and that's a serious threat to democracy in the united states. these are bad d

would like to note for the record that the commission in late 2011 managed to issue a citizens united rule making notice that did not mention disclosure. the commission even had a hearing, but that is the end of the story. no new regulation, no action on disclosure. mr. ornstein's written testimony demonstrates how dramatically disclosure of the sources of funding of public advertising has fallen. in 2004, the first election under mccain-feingold, 98% of outside groups running campaign ads disclosed their donors. a few years later that number was down to 34%. in absolute dollars, the amount spent on advertising only 40% was disclosed as the course in 2012 by these outside groups. why is this a problem? let me turn to justice kennedy's explanation in citizens united. he said, with the advent of the internet, prompt disclosure of expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with the information needed to hold corporations and elected officials accountable for their positions and supporters. shareholders can determine whether their corporations' political speech advances the corporation

one thing both sides agrees on is this furthers the citizen united ruling striking down limits on campaign spending. it does not increase the amount an individual can contribute to a candidate. it gives individuals a chance to contribute to as many candidates as they want. >> correct. it continues the process that the current 5-member majority has been moving towards. eviserating restrictions on the ability of individuals to use larges payments of money. in the name of freedom of speech, what they are doing is basically undermining the fundamental democracy that the freedom of speech reserves. >> the center from responsive politics found 6 million people reached the maximum that you could contribute to a series of candidates. how big a deal is it if that few people can afford the level of contributions. >> it's a big deal. if everyone could afford it, it's less of a problem. only a small number of americans have the capacity to impact this process. it puts political candidates in the pockets of these wealthy billion airs and that's not the way the democratic process should work. it's a ser

. >> today's decision follows a 2010 citizen united ruling saying it was unconstitutional to limit corporationsebrated the success of a partnership that allows every day people lend money to local businesses. barbara parker and libby shaft gathered at a local clothing store to discuss the program. the partnership with kiva.org provides business owners with zero interest crowd funded loans. >> it's great for a city like oakland that's bursting with civic pride. it let's me support a business where i know the open and i want to support her reaching her dreams. >> oakland is the first city in the country to take part in the microlending program. >>> the death toll from the mudslide in washington state rose to 29. seven victims remain unidentified and the number of missing is 18. the receding water has helped the crews extend their search. major league baseball will donate $25,000 to red cross for the relief fund. >>> traffic in the area is slowing down. workers are transforming the hewlett-packard property. they have set up lane closure signs as they demolish the old building. drivers have noticed

campaignhe biggest finance ruling since the 2010 citizens united ruling. phil mattingly is joining me right now with details. let's start at the very beginning. itlain the decision, what means, what it means for campaign finance, and for individuals looking to contribute. >> what the supreme court decided to do today, what justice john roberts said in his opinion today, is basically that the aggregate limits that have been placed on how much individuals could donate to candidates and local campaign committees are gone. they are no longer than. justice john roberts in his opinion said "the limits intrude without justification on a citizen's ability to exercise the most fundamental first amendment activities." that is what john roberts said in his opinion. before today, candidates were able to -- individuals were able to donate $123,000 max over two years. that is no longer a cap. basically, if you wanted to donate the maximum out to each congressional candidate, you can now. >> we always talk about getting the money out of politics. then a gets polluted, ta

just yesterday the supreme court of the united states ruled that states that are polluting and that goesver the state line the federal government can get involved in helping to regulate that it is something that other industries fought and the supreme court has spoken yesterday in a 6-2 ruling. the supreme court ruling doesn't address greenhouse gases. >> that is something that the obama administration has said that it wants to reduce by 17%. this ruling could help them do that. but the push back this is a state issue not a federal issue. it is tough the central valley thank you very much. >> let's check the forecast this morning as we give you a live look outside. it is an obviously very clear day and that is going to mean some heat. good morning to you. temperatures are all over the place this morning. you might be wondering why is it so much warmer the blacktop in san francisco it absorbs that heat and it continues to radiate out during the morning hours. it is much chillier there. we are starting out at 61 degrees. 60 straight up here and temperatures will head throughout the day tod

you have seen after the citizens united ruling a few yearsing ag which allowed a flood of money whichcs, unlimited money, millions and millions of dollars into outside groups. there has been a lot of frustrations among candidates, because they have felt that they certainly. when the money is coming their way. it tends to help them. there is also a limit in how much they can control their own message and campaign, because they can't get on the air waves with their own things they want to say, because these outside groups are coming in and blanketing the air waves with things that take them off course. this ruling might add to that. it puts more money into the campaign year but it is a little bit different because there still is that limit on individual campaigns and individual candidates. >> i'm just getting over that money has freedom of speech. as they have always said, money talks and it really does. dana bash, thanks so much. i'll be right back. mine was earned in korea in 1953. afghanistan, in 2009. orbiting the moon in 1971.

story, united airlines is facing a civil lawsuit over an after-school program it sponsored that resulted in allegations of sexual abuse by the person chosen to run it. a federal bankruptcy judge has ruled that united airlines 2002 bankruptcy does not protect it from a civil suit brought on behalf of seven people who allege that they were sexually abused as minors by the leader of a mentoring program sponsored by united in the 19- 90s. "as early as 1996 or 1997, there were complaints of how he was interacting with the children. they did nothing." the program called" united airlines believers" sought to help students at chicago's james weldon johnson elementary school stay out of trouble and provide guide college scholarships. but in documents entered as evidence, the plaintiffs say the person who led the program, identified as 38-year old marvin lovett sexually abused them. lovett was shot to death in 2000. police found 140- videotapes of lovett in sexual acts involving underage boys in the believers program. united shut down the program and according to plantiffs provided no scholarships.

to the united job, he didn't rule himself out of contention. saying he is waiting to be approached by united so hasn't had to consider his options. >> i think it is great, but i am still really happy here. there are around 1,000 reasons i like working here, and it is more important. that all those involved have to have the feeling that i am the right coach of this team. as long as that is the case, i don't have to think about anything else. he is confident the world cup will be a success, dismissing concerns over security, and unfinished work. on the ground in brazil is secretary general. which will host four games the stadium still hasn't been officially opened and wasn't too happy what we saw earlier. all the ability or all the facilities from the airport, into the city from the airport to the stadium, all of these at least would be ready for the world cup. the final position has been made on how many will be built for their tournament. responding to reports that they have already decided to reduce the numbers of venues from 12 to eight. becau

. >> when inmates break the rules, they're sent to the disciplinary unit also known as the hole. here prisoners are allowed only one hour of exercise a day. the other 23 hours, they're locked in their cells. >> this is like the prison within the prison so to speak. they come here, basically, due to the actions of out on the yard or in a living unit they've somehow broken the rules and misbehave and they're brought up here for corrective management to try to improve their behavior. >>> anamosa has a zero tolerance policy for rule infractions, so it doesn't take much for an inmate to end up here. but some inmates complain that the prison is infested with rats. inmates who trump up charges against another inmate to try to gain favor with guards or simply as a form of revenge. >> so many people want to tell you on and this place a full of snitches running around thinking they're cool. >> inmates often rat out others by writing an anonymous complaint called a kite. >> say i want to get him off the yard because i'm mad at him. all i have to do is drop a kite, saying, okay, he's thinkin

we are working under the rules that the majority changed by ignoring the rules of the united states senate in november. so as the majority leader knows, we have not yielded back post-culture time on judicial nominations since the so-called nuclear option was triggered last november. we have followed the rules of the united states senate, the regular order, on all judges before the senate in the last five months. just exactly the way the rules were changed in november. so there are 30 hours of post-culture debate on this nomination. therefore, i would ask, i would ask if the consent could be modified so that the vote on confirmation would occur at 5:30 p.m., monday, april 28 when we return from the april recess. this would allow the senate to process the pending cloture nomination on the wage and hour nominee this afternoon and said that confirmation vote also for monday when we return on april 28. that's the alternative that i offer to the majority. >> madam president, -- >> would be majority leader so modify his request? >> i reserve. madam president, this is not obviously this exchange i

and we have followed the rules of the united states senate. the regular order just exactly the way that the rules were changed in november. and therefore if i would ask if the consent could be modified so that the vote on confirmation work or at 5:30 p.m., monday april 28 when we return from the april recess. this would allow a senate process the pending cloture nomination on the wage and hour nominees this afternoon and said that confirmation vote also for monday when we return on april 28. that is the alternative that i offer to the majority. >> madam president, will the majority leader modify his request. >> i would like to reserve my right to object. >> madam president this is not a dissertation on lott to. because if it work were, why in the world would we want to waste 30 hours doing nothing. and that is what we are doing. and i know that my friend from i left has been on that judicial committee a long time and i shared all that he has done. but it is apparent that the only reason you started this right away. no other reason. i may have m

rules. let me ask you this. as unit bp is going to work on a lot of rule-making and that would include, it affects utility sector, certainly 316 be cooling water intake rule, the ozone rules, the particulate matter 2.5 rules, coal ash. to let me ask you this with regard to those regulations what is ferc doing to a pbs individuals collectively might impact grade reliability? >> we've tried to be a source of reliability, expertise to epa. a lot of work has been focused because that is a short timeline. but my colleague, commissioner moeller believe is right behind me and on the next day off, and i co-chaired a forum that met with naruc coming and we've had meetings on 315 p., coal ash and right now a lot of the focus is on greenhouse gas. i think as rules are developed we need to the commenters in the draft stage such as in the greenhouse gas ash -- casuals the dimension second i believe, to make sure that those rules are achievable while reliability can be preserved and then look at our meeting, if you look at the greenh

. >> it's all about trying to figure out what the united states rules of engagement look like for thisthis is very, very precise. this is instigated. this was not serendipitous on the part of the pilot. he's trying to figure out what the collection capabilities are. in terms of intelligence, what type of radar return, how is this being painted. the russians are trying to decide on the tactical point what are the rules of engagement. the answer is, no, however, putin is pushing both at the tactical level to gather intelligence and strategic level to see what the gumption is. >> talk about gumption. it's one thing to push around politicians but he knows he cannot push around the u.s. military. >> cannot. >> what are the mot hhot spots? >> we've got russian forces that are training here 40,000 of 24ethem right across the border. in 2003 and 2002 what did the united states do before they went into iraq? gave up strategic surprise. we were there. we said we're coming. this is what's happening right now. there are also some forces, special forces, a new location, has been identified here. we

in russia felt absolutely despondent when putin and medvedev came out during a congress of the ruling unitedussia party soviet congresses, they say we have decided that you all should support putin for president. there was applause of tens of thousands of hands and it was decided putin was president even though there had been no election. three months later it was a sham election, just like it had been for years. and the enough for action. right after the parliamentary election, the russia protest movement broke out for everyone else. but the right at that point had existed a couple months. it was born as a fiction. it was bordering on the, who was a philosophy student at moscow university, 21 years old and had participated in another protest argument. she was asked to speak in a conference opposition activists. mostly because they were so few opposition access to one of the opposition activists notice somebody else who is kind and charismatic in participating in this event or happening, they would sort of some times try to draw them in. so innocuous as to give a presentation. she decided sh

and that this is just the latest step for citizens united, what was the biggest, but there could be more to come given the way the supreme court is rulingted is of course a scourge for democrats in this town. president obama got scolded by samuel alito in the state of the union. but does this mean they lose power? is this money that would have gone into a super pac, so-called dark money now coming out into the light? >> that is sort of the counter way to look at it. some sources i talked to, democrats, are looking at it that way, saying, you know what, if there is a really rich person out there who has wanted to give more than the limits have allowed until today, then their only option was to get to these outside groups. now they can give in a more regulated, directed way to campaign committees and also to candidates. the downside, of course, is that as somebody who watches members of congress on capitol hill, many, many days, every day almost run from their committee rooms and run from their votes outside the capitol to use every waking moment to dial for dollars. >> right. >> going to have to do that even more because there's more mon

rule of law from moscow. if relations deteriorate, the e.u. and united states could issue more sanctions against russia, but that will hurt all sides if moscow retall yates. it could do that by what holding gas as europe's main supplier. all the while, thousands of russian troops are in ukraine's eastern border. let's go live to the talks in geneva. it's the first time these parties are meeting since the crisis began. what has come out of the talks so far and any optimism, hope that there could be a deescalation in this crisis? >> we are waiting for them to come out. no official comment yet. the mood here has not been very hopeful for solution. the statements made by officials on both sides in the run up to these first-ever talks to addressing the crisis have been pretty negative. i think it would be considered a success if they even agree to talk again, given that sanctions, renewed sanctions, toughened sanctions on the table. russia wants a federalization, ukraine has been saying it's not up for russia to determine the political life in that country. t

the united states supreme court issued a landmark ruling that's being decried on the left. making the democrats very unhappy, the republicans very happy. it's campaign finance ruling. the supreme court did that today, and we have that story for you as well. mine was earned in korea in 1953. afghanistan, in 2009. orbiting the moon in 1971.
