and back with us, alex wagner, host of "now with alex wagner."for being here tonight. >> thank you. >> joe, it amazes me that the republicans engage in this. let us underline that newt gingrich was the first one to bring up race. you didn't. i didn't. nobody. he started by saying what he wanted to tell black people at the naacp, and they used to infer things. they just say outright by name now. and then when you challenge them, they can't even go back the last century. they have to go the century before last year and get abe lincoln. he couldn't think of a 20th century republican to tell me that had been on the side of the african-american community. i mean, do people get this? >> no, and that's why they can get away with it because most people don't get the modern history. as you were talking and going through the gyrations with him, i kept thinking, you know, you really don't need this guy to validate what you were saying. for example, we know it's not the same republican party that participated in the 1964 civil rights movement because there w

fox 5's paul wagner is live down in charlottesville now with what they had to say. paul. >> reporter: brian, the jury returned just a few minutes ago and returned a sentence for george huguely of 25 years in prison for the second-degree murder charge and one year in prison on the grand larceny charge. they could have given as much as 40 years on the second- degree murder charge. the virginia statute calls for between 5 and 45. they chose 25 years and they could have gone between 1 and 20 years on the grand larceny charge, they just gave him one year. now, this is a recommendation. the judge will take it under advisement and on april 16th, i believe is the date they gave, they will formalize this sentence. there will be a presentence report and then george huguely will be formally sentenced by george edward. he can accept the sentence or he can lower it, but he cannot raise it. now george huguely could have faced 40 years in prison on that second-degree murder charge. the defense then wanted the jury to be polled. the judge then polled each one individually, pointing

the wagner act and the social security act are kind of the real strong, stout pillars of the new deal. one establishes labor power, the other establishes the new welfare state and entitlement programs. he cannot afford to have those struck down. and he's very fearful the court's going to do that. and he thinks the only way he can stop it, look, i just got e those years. 46 or 48 states. i've got three-quarter t democrats. i can do what i want. i can even go after the courts. we discussed another president who went after the supreme court, didn't we? who was that? thomas? yeah, and what happened to him? >> didn't work out. presidents don't do well when they adjust with the court somehow. it seems unseemly, you know. for the president to go after the courts. but roosevelt felt it was worth it. because he thought his whole new deal program was going to be brought down, you know, like samson bringing down the pillars of the temple and the whole structure crash. so he proposed a scheme whereby for every justice who didn't retire at the age of 70 or more, which was a majority on the court,
