. >> including hillary rodham who had just enrolled at yale law school and caught the attention of classmates. >> she had big glasses, she wore bell bottom but jeans and work shirts. the thing that was most different about her was this focus on children. while the rest of us wandered around taking various kinds of classes, she was focused on women and children, children's welfare from the first. she never deviated from that at all, ever. >> perhaps the only thing that would break hillary's focus during her time at yale was the adoring gaze of one promising young law student, a strapping, smooth-talking scholar from the great state of arkansas. >> he was tall, 6'2" and this huge head of sort of frizzy, reddish hair. and he had an accent. >> did he make his political ambitions known? >> absolutely. when i first met him, i remember he'd been at law school maybe two or three days and we went through the line in the lunchroom and he knew the names of everyone in the lunchroom. he knew all the servers, called them by name. >> but it wasn't until the spring of 1971 in the yale library that bill clin

then became a lawyer, having gone to yale law school.your story is extraordinary why i highly recommend the book. your thoughts on the trump presidency and how we got here. >> well, i think we got here a lot of folks i grew up around were unhappy with the direction of the country politically. it wasn't just a criticism of democratic governance last eight years and rejection after republican governance before that. that is why trump won over 16 competitors in the republican primary. martha: you said you didn't vote for donald trump but you pretty much agree with him on most policies. >> that is definitely right. the main criticism trump makes of elites the conventional wisdom and conventional politics failed the country past 20 or 30 years is fundamentally right. i worried about trump's divisive rhetoric and would he be able to follow through on big promises he is making to people. so i end up making principled third party vote as my family said was a weast. martha: they didn't mind tell you i imagine, based on what you learned about them

i is a graduate of am murse the college and yale law school and clerked on two federal judge circuits and i don't know what it is but it sounds good e . he is a supreme court fellow here at the constitution center. let's look back on the garland center. i get a lot of e-mails. is there anything president obama can do to put merrick garland on the supreme court? >> he could persuade donald trump to nominate him. i think basically the nomination is dead. >> practically, yes. there are legal things he could attempt to do between now and january 3rd. >> what might those things be? >> there is an infin tess malmoment when the senate will be in recess where president obama could theoretically recess merrick garland on the supreme court. he could try to carry out some weird procedural maneuvers on the senate flar but realistically those would not be able to happen. >> aside from the fact that president obama would not be able to do a nomination in that inmin tessism moment. i don't think that's even a long-shot possibility. >> also, the politics of it. this is all sort of fun and frivolous.

. >> students from the yale law school veterans services clinic took on his case and filed a federal lawsuit against the air force yesterday morning. they're looking to get his discharge upgraded to honorable. >>> believit not snow. it is not a bubble bath gone awry. it is a result of a malfunction at an airport near san francisco. officials in san jose. the foam fire retardant flooded the hangar. as a result they had to shut down nearby streets. they say an alarm malfunctioned inside a new airplane hangar. that's what caused the foam to spew everywhere. >>> new this morning, a denver- based company is apologizing to a florida family. some comments to a little girl that's outraged a lot of people. the 10-year-old girl was reportedly sitting on santa's lap when he told her she was on the nice list. then he went on to say the only person on the naughty list was hillary clinton. the mother of the girl calledd mall managers. >>> this man, josue guevara cea year-old boy. that's when guevara cea allegedly forced the boy into a stall, sexually assaulted him. the boy was able to escape, run

>> well, going back to when they first met at yale law school, it was from the very beginning a sort of what i call a fair fight. two very intelligent, very ambitious, very pragmatic people who thought they could rise together in ways they couldn't get to apart and that sim biotic relationship, you know, was first felt when hillary, against all of the advice of her friends, moved out to fayetteville, arkansas in 1974 when her boyfriend was running for congress and from then on, various, various stages in their rise together she was central to what he did. when he was governor of arkansas after that first term, it was hillary who realized that because of social pressures, she had to change her name from hillary rodham to hillary clinton. and she changed her hair and pushed him to run for governor again. she paved the way for him. she flattered the press in arkansas, which was down on her husband. and then, in those-- in that second coming of governor clinton, it was hillary leading the education reform policy in arkansas, which really made him a national figure. and so, he relied on h

[laughter] and from harvard with a degree in american history. so i will pose this question and then i will join the panel. we decided beforehand they're not going to make five-minute presentations. we'll get right into the conversation so just to set the stage for that. donald trump's victory represents a victory for the constitution and what will his presidency mean for the rule of law with respect to federalism, civil rights criminal justice environmental law, labor law, foreign affairs and the president's war-making powers? and what about the first amendment, free speech and the power of the administrative and regulatory state? what will trump's presidency mean for the commerce clause of the constitution? which a liberal interpretation causes a wellspring of much of the power the federal government and what will donald trump's presidency mean for the supreme court of the united states and i'm going to join the panel now and we will start with them. >> if hillary clinton had won th

hillary clinton went to one of the best colleges in the country, yale law school. she was the first lady of the state house and white house. a u.s. senator, secretary of state. forget whether she did an amazing job or okay job she knows everything you need to know about being president of the united states. the other thing about the clintons you can't forget is they have lived in our world and had to stand not only the plight of working people which was evident during years of service but they had to understand that entrepreneur needs to create jobs. i think it's a no brainer. donald trump i know enough about donald trump to know that i would be scared to death to see him as our president. >> look, jeff and i have many things in common. one of them is that we believe that putting our country first ahead of our pocket book is important. barack obama was not great for my pocket book but i encouraged him to run for president and supported him. >> you wouldn't be against having your taxes raised? much, much bigger during the obama administration. the amount of wealth b

he was an eagle scout, he had a law degree from yale, he had practiced law, he played tennis, he played he was just exactly the opposite of what chevy chase and the people on saturday night live tried to depict him as being. >> do you have any more firsthand -- given your firsthand experience with presidents and seeing the temperament needed for the job, i was wondering if you had any thoughts on the upcoming election and the two options that we're facing.

[laughter] ms. -- [applause] >> this is our last questioner. >> who is your favorite of the presidents to work with and for? >> you know, i didn't have a favorite president. they all were so different in some ways. the only thing they really had similar was a large ego. some larger than others. [laughter] like gerry ford didn't have a real large ego, but he had enough of an ego to cause him to run for the house of representatives in the state of michigan, and he wanted to be the speaker of the house. bu
