walter? >> well, you know, the answer to that is twofold, charlie. because it would be of enormous consequence if the court were to told that this regulation that affects one seventh of the economy is outside the scope of congress's power to regulate commerce among the states. that would be, in my view, an extraordinary holding. if the court holds-- as a couple conservative judges did below, like judge silverman and judge sutton that of course it's a regulation of commerce or as others have argued it's a regulation of inevitable commerce of people that will engage in health care. it's a very limited ruling and i don't think it would be of great consequence. it's only the thought that the court might strike this down that makes it seem like a big case. >> rose: jeffrey toobin? how big a deal is this? >> epic, awesome, enormous, huge. >> rose: (laughs) >> really, this is the biggest case involving the power of the federal government since the new deal and if this law is struck down the federal government is going to look very different the next day. an

the first american to accomplish this was henry walters of baltimore. walters made a fortune consolidating railways and was reputed to be the richest man in the south. well-educated, well-traveled, cultivated, walters, like morgan, had a taste for precious objects. nevertheless, he felt it was important to include a raphael in his collection. in 1901 walters acquired the madonna of the candelabra, believed to be at least partly by the master's own hand. scholars attribute the virgin and child to raphael and the angels to an assistant. walters proudly displayed his madonna in a gallery which he built adjacent to the family house in baltimore. owning a raphael had a significance beyond that of acquiring a beautiful work of art. he was the only artist whose prestige had endured all changes of taste and fashion. the next raphael acquisition marked the coming-of-age of america as a nation of collectors. the small cowper madonna, which mrs. gardner had coveted, was sold to the wideners in 1914 for the highest price that had ever been paid for a painting. outs

>> i was stationed at walter reed hospital and i worked in the operating room at a walter reed here in d.c. and i got that i had to be in july right after the korean war started, that i was on alert and i got notified on a saturday night at 10:00 p.m. that i had to clear the post and go to ft. bragg, north carolina to join the 171st evac. so that's what i did. and down there, some of the girls stationed in ft. bragg had been on maneuvers to puerto rico, so they may have had a little bit bit training than most of us because none of us had any training for combat. and so from ft. bragg, north carolina, we went by troop oig train to san francisco, went 13 days to japan and from japan, we got there and went to the southern part of japan and then we were flown over to the nurses and doctors were flown over to korea. and that's when i was with the 8076 temporary duty. and then in the meantime, the 171st evac was sent up to pyongyang, korea, which is a big unit and we were set up in a russian medical school. >> i left a very lucrative job in new york city for basic raining. wound up in chanut

williams. >> back to walter williams. i want to try some word associations. start with rush limbaugh. >> a lot of people ask about how rush called me. i said he was looking in the mayor and wanted to take a vacation, so he asked, who was the second-best talk-show host in the world? what happened is that congressman bob dornan used to fill in for him, and sometimes when i am interviewed, i can take over the show. he called me and said, would you like to host my show, i am going out for a couple of days. this was in october 1992. i have been doing it off and on since then. this is my big classroom. i love talking to people and trying to explain economics to people, and i think the combination of the talk-show and also writing a syndicated column, i get a lot of feedback from my fellow americans, and people will say, did you think about this? and it causes them to get more information than the average person would have. i have benefited immensely from my exposure on the talk-show and television. >> how powerful is this show?

walter's suggestion, i loved it because it's the same frank capraesqe kind of thing that brings me back to washington all the time. you can reason together and set out a process that would make this dispute totally unnecessary and would give some confidence to the american people that some work was getting done. it's not hard to conduct hearings. you know? they got them done in one, two and three days in the 1920s, '30s, '40s and '50s. there's no reason that they have to drag out for six months, seven months at a time, other than what the senate really wants is not the protection of their prerogative to consider nominations. they want the prerogative not to consider nominations. to block the nominations of the president and they don't have the political courage or the votes to defeat them. and, as a result, they skipped the process that's outlined in the constitution. >> if you want me to respond to that, i would just say -- i would just say this. and that is that the senate is given in the constitution that prerogative to consider the president's nominations and to the extent that they
