i may be picky but the pesky united states constitution requires some indicia of wrong doing before you can survail americans. i have an idea. how about we increase the size of the federal government, add another agency to oversee the possible abuse of the surveillance. and if it is essential that you have this information to protect the nation against terrorism and whether suspected terrorists have been in contact with persons inside the u.s., how is it that you missed the boston bomber and his repeated contact with jihadi mom and dad? >> i welcome this debate. and i think it is healthy for our democracy. i think it is a sign of maturity because probably five years ago, six years ago we might not have been having this debate. >> judge jeanine: okay, it is about maturity. not about the fact that you said that our privacy need not be invaded in order to pro text us from terrorism. mr. president, does the narrative change depending on what americans find out? has our government become so political that there are no issues, only sides? you are going to protect truss terrorism. when you fin

defender cited a few moments ago it is a right guaranteed by the sixth amendment of the united states constitution as well as section 98 7 of the california penal code. the budget analyst recommends an ongoing reduction of $400,000 to this budget and the court believes that it is sustainable. so, we are in agreement with mr. rose and i'm happy to answer any questions that you have. >> colleagues, questions? okay, mr. rose, we'll hear your report. >> mr. chairman, members. committee, on page 75 of our reports as the department just stated, our recommended reduction is totaled 400,000 in 13-14 which are ongoing and again 400,000 in 14-15. as i understand it, the department concurs with our recommendations. >> okay, thank you, mr. rose. colleagues, any questions for mr. rose at this time? again, just to confirm you are in agreement with those? >> yes. >> okay. can can i have a motion to accept the budget analyst recommendations? we can do so without opposition.

national security agency is spying on the hong kong government he's saying he supports the united states constitution and his complete fealty is to that u.s. constitution so what other governments will say about this and how this is going to play out the problem is the mainstream media will try and prove this and say everyone knows this everyone or if everyone knew this and all world leaders and all delegates at that summit in twenty nine knows that they are being surveilled then why the british or american authorities do this here in london and could this affect u.s. russia relations now and in the future. of course they have been tricky in recent years there have been various spying scandals i suppose we can expect some comments from president putin he didn't this came too late for the press conference between the british prime minister and mr putin here in london i presume other world leaders will be mentioning it in the days ahead but for british people this is lamentable because there's a long history here of mining the miners the ford workers usually they're jailed here the whistle blower's fro

of people are saying even if congress has authorized it it's against the spirit of the united states constitution it's against the spirit of privacy and how can the government need complete access to all of the phone calls to all of the metadata from google and facebook and all of these others and it just sounds too much i was actually in the united states at the time in north america time when this broke and the first reaction was just shock it was just a bomb so people couldn't believe the scope of this program. so legally he did something wrong and the united states is going to do everything it can to bring him to justice are they going to get him that's an almost impossible question to answer you know we just heard that he's in moscow he may be en route to somewhere else you know it's certainly going to do everything they can to legally quote unquote bring in the justice ethically it's a big big debate in the united states right now you know again obama was supposed to be the president who let's say we stored the balance between national security and privacy and there's big questions about th

americans presumably if they were given the right information would realize was protecting the united states constitution so you know the fact that we don't know at this moment where he's going to end up is all part of a it's all good news because no one seeking the truth wants to know where he is in his final destination is until he gets there and when he gets that there's no way the united states can touch him a big contract. in cuba who president obama a few weeks ago said was a big terrorist as the aunt of two packs of cork was the rapper she was a member of the civil rights movement back in the sixty's president obama is chasing after whistleblowers all over the world when they know in america he can't get hold of them any re no reaction so far from the u.s. it's a fast moving story admittedly but why do you think they've been silent up to this point. i suppose vers stub united states will be using their back channels trying to get through to xi jinping saying what is going in hong kong they released this espionage act complaint what is it an authorized communication of a national defense informatio

our goal is to have marriage equality that's guaranteed by the united states constitution enforced inin the union. >> and as a final question about this supreme court decision, i wonder, as a lawyer or as a voter, you look at proposition 8, which in california bans same-sex marriage. it was a vote of the people in california. do you have a problem with what some people see as overturning the will of the people, the court saying i don't care what you people voted, here's what we think? >> well, remember, remember first that the whole purpose of the constitution is to say there are certain rights that are fundamental that can't be taken away by a vote of the people, not by 52%, as in proposition 8, not by 75%, not by 95%. there are certain rules, there are certain fundamental rights that are so important to our society that the constitution guarantees them. if you hadn't overruled the will of the people in brown against board of education, you'd still have segregated schools. >> right. >> if you hadn't overruled the will of the people in virginia in loving against virginia in 1967, when

you have james wilsonand governor morris who wrote large parts of the united states constitution.athers are well known to historians buthey have pretty much been totally leftut of popular histories. >> i find fascinating you say we shouldn't be looking too mucho briton, the united kingdom as the foundation for conservative thought and philosoy but rather, you say that the first modern conservative was british statesman edmond burke. >> most histories trace the conservativism ba to burke. i discovered that everything burke stood for and said was said a decade and a half earlier by the american founding 3 c1 conservatives. it struck me as strange and fascinating that conservative similar that is l about h heritage doesn't kno its ownn har tank. >> the thinkers, the tellectuals, thomas jefferson, a conservative? >> he was far more radica one of the most surprising things i discovered in the book is john adamswas quite radica throughout the revutn. he changes his thinking ward the end of it. >> conservativism itself giv us your view today of at statement its in. i have to tell you, i

you've given away the great protections of the united states constitution because you're a coward or you're a team player. oh, the terrorists, that's what a coward thinks. it's like lightening strikes. are we going to give away our freedom because of lightening strikes? and meanwhile the guy who told us some of this stuff edward snowden, he's in hong kong and causing more trouble. i think he told us information that is absolutely critically important that what our government is doing. but then he told us information that we didn't know. the information that we're hacking the chinese shh these something that they didn't need to be revealed, and now the english were tapping all the phones e-mails etc. of the people who were visiting during the g-8 summit in the u.k. shh. that's exactly the kind of stuff you're not supposed to reveal. i think it's a bad idea to go in that direction. we're keeping it real here. now putin is not happy about that. they were together in camera, and the prime minister of great britain, and he didn't look that happen. i don't know the last time putin looked h

because of my legal training or my experience as a prosecutor judge and d.a., but to me the united states constitutionck. the very foundation upon which our country is built. but america is changing. it is changi our very eyes. our founding fathers wouldn't even recognize the america of

united states as of today. i would have gone further than the decision today. i think the 14th amendment to the constitutionould not be more clear, quote, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of life nor deny to any person within its jury diction the equal protection of the laws. tell me how a state can deny a couple that right to marry without denying liberty? and how can a state be allowed the couple without due process of law? did they commit a crime? what due process? i heard david boyce say something outside the supreme court today. he said the decision by the court striking down doma will be followed by the same decision against california's prop 8 when that measure gets to be properly brought before the court which it hasn't so far. i agree with david as i often do. the wheels of justice turn slowly but they will some day and they will some day grind finally. we'll get the court decision america deserves some day. for now it is a time to celebrate the american constitution and the rights it protects. justice correspondent pete williams joins me now.

with impunity worked internationally and our courts have said because it's outside the united states our constitutiondoes not apply now the n.s.a. has come into the united states they're spying on americans and waters are our lawmakers saying that the government saying that the constitution somehow should not apply to the n.s.a. the first amendment right to freedom of speech should be eliminated the fourth amendment freedom from unreasonable searches should be eliminated the n.s.a. while operating in america must abide by american law unfortunately for europe that our legal system says they don't have to abide by our constitution in new york now just to wrap up here and to give a different perspective do you think it's possible that there could be a line drawn where it says if there is a court order for example or if a judge signs off on it and then it is ok for the n.s.a. to use this program to go get data to go get information of someone in the name of protecting national security. the problem with the pfizer court is it operates in secret that people who are the targets can't challenge the order i

constitution because this mass surveillance which the united states government has engaged in is in fact a violation of the u.s. constitution and what about is so she can with we keep leaks now could that be seen as provocative from the u.s. point of view and maybe not so much about beneficial association for him but maybe a negative one well of course the united states government will try and spin it whatever way it can to discredit edward snowden and to put its own policies in the best possible light but the fact is instead of going for the messenger public focus and government focus should be on the messages given which is that millions of people worldwide who are entirely innocent have been subjected to mass surveillance by the u.s. administration. proof of congress congress never voted to put this system in place nor have the governments of any other country this is rogue spying by a rogue state i mean if it was it would snow had been and a rainy and whistle blower who exposed global snooping by the terran regime i think he would have been hailed by the united states as a horowitz w
