Ford decided to come forward publically and make this case? would there be a better way to have it happen so that you wouldnt have this arguing from the republican side that this is some kind of sham? >> yes, of course. there is an fbi that can go look at certain things like this. she talked about the safe way, employment things from that period. talk to these other witnesses to find out if this has been a pattern. talk to other people around. there is lots of other people around that they could...

Doesnt, but it shouldnt be that way. it should mean the same no matter what the result is because a lot of us argued, and i think this is the potential historic significance of the day, a lot of us have been arguing for a couple weeks too much of this process was about tribal points and not a search for the truth, what jefferson said, you should follow the truth wherever it may lead. that was one of the points of the american revolution was to have an ethos, a world view, that respected facts, r...

>> martha: we are back. we are having a lot of animated conversation. during the break, obviously people have very strong feelings about the entire issue. one of the biggest stories with all of this is whether or not there should be continuing investigations. we are definitely going to hear from chris wallace about this. no doubt, they are going to push for that. >> i tended to think it is important to distinguish between what is important and serious and what clearly seems less so. over the cou...
