at bpshow and on facebook at facebook.com/billpressshow. the international game of catch me if you can continues this morning. we think edward snowden is in moscow, heading for ecuador we think. via havana, cuba. we think. nobody really knows where he is except wikileaks and they ain t talkin . julian assange yesterday held a conference call with reporters. we were on it. where he said that edward snowden is not a traitor. he is not a patriot necessarily. he is a whistle-blower and he just wanted to tell the american people the truth. meanwhile, the supreme court yesterday kind of kicked the can down the road on affirmative action. they didn t say affirmative action was bad. they didn t and affirmative action, they said it could continue as long as there s a real tough test before people use affirmative action. we ll tell you all about it right here on current tv. are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night? is this personal, or is it political? a
it s not the kind of book that an author s going to do a reading from. it s not a dramatic novel, but it s a pretty dramatic story, actually, when you step back and think about the supreme court over the centuries. and i know many of you are probably here because the supreme court today, this very day or next week, three days of the health care case being argued. the court is more visible in american life than it s been for quite some time, and i ll be happy to chat about that and answer your questions, but i want to talk a little bit and just kind of frame the story of the supreme court. in writing this book, what i tried to do was put myself in the position of i m assuming many of you or myself before i had the chance to attend yale law school and spend the next 30 years writing about the supreme court on a daily basis for the new york times , and that is to say somebody who s interested in public affairs, interested in the civic life of the country but just doesn t happen
impossible for the vast majority of people. and too late for destiny parker and eight others who have died in maryland. this week, the state will only get 34,000 doses, a fraction of the 2.9 million marylanders identified as most at risk. the federal government has committed to vaccinate every american, as long as there is demand to do so. so we will continue to order that. reporter: the state hopes to get more than a million doses by the end of the month. in the meantime, seasonal flu shots will be given. every year, there s always that first week when people want to run out and get the vaccine and there s not quite enough. but then every year, the vaccine comes in pretty quickly. and people realize they can get it if they need it. and it s going to be the same thing for h1n1. reporter: now, the first shipment of that h1n1 vaccine expected to arrive in maryland possibly tomorrow. it the be in the nasal mist form. and healthcare workers will be the first ones to get i
you just saw ricci and vargas. it seems if you take a test and you do better than everybody else, you should be promoted. when you start getting judges and appeals judges involved in things like this, sometimes things change. that has been the crux of the matter in the case of sonia sotomayor. i am going to bring in gloria bo borger. i want to let you know there has been a shooting in new jersey where five police officers have been shot and we are now learning from our own sources that four of those officers are injured pretty badly. in fact, it is being called critical in at least a couple of cases. maybe a shot to the face. another one shot to the neck. the man who shot them apparently was wearing rob, if you have got some of those pictures, let s share those real quick. the man who shot them according to police was dressed as a priest. look at the pandemonium in new jersey. this is near nerscy city. this happening just a couple of hours ago. again, we are on it. we are g
for weeks. but in maryland, there are virtually no laws concerning the reporting of disposing of bodies if someone dies outside of a hospital. eyewitness news is live where her autopsy is under way. mike hellgren has the latest on the investigation. reporter: sally, it s true that if miss cook died of natural causes, no crime was committed. it s not illegal to put her body up in a freezer. but some believe the law should change. reporter: 83-year-old doris cook called the country club apartments in glen burnie home, until her death a few weeks ago. police say at that time, for unknown reasons, family members decided to put her body in the freezer. but when her grandson found out, he called police. i m not going to cover up anything, that would be ridiculous. reporter: if they find no foul play, there will likely be no charges. that s because in maryland, there is no penalty for not reporting a death. exceptions include if the person is under age 1 or if they died in a
