thing he said already before, which was true even before he said it -- >> clearly there's an awful lot of doubt as to where the administration really is on this issue. i think the will of the people is that we enact this clear-cut prohibition on the use of taxpayer funds for elective abortions. >> passing new laws to do what existing laws already do is a great way to create redundancy. asking the same settled question over and over again is a great way to create uncertainty. and banning abortion funding doubly, triply when it's already banned may be good for somebody's job, i don't know. maybe the person who writes bills like this? or something? who might be -- couldn't have another job because this is all they know how to do? i don't know. probably not. joining success congresswoman democrat of illinois, chief deputy whip and strange advocate for women's issues. thanks for your time tonight. >> thanks, rachel. >> doesn't the government

>> i don't know if it's irresponsible or inappropriate. my sense is again if the ethical cannon said you avoid impropriety or the appearance, why go there and do something that makes people throw their hands up and say he's doing it. that should be the standard and what is incomprehensible. the justices don't hold themselves to the standard >> disrespect for the institution that gives them their authority. senior editor, thank you for making time for us. nice to see you. >> thank you, rachel. >> republicans were clear about their priority when is they took power in the house of representatives. >> we will find that the focus will be on job creation. >> they would immediately try to pass bills about abortion. jobs and all that stuff, later, eventually, we assume.

themselves. so when justice scalia went duck hunting with dick cheney who was a party to the case before him at the time, justice scalia said, i'm not compromised, that was the end of it. there's nothing to force the justices to recuse themselves. >> that's because they're expected to have good enough justice and enough respect for our government that they wouldn't do something to call those institutions their own institutions -- their own institution into question in terms of its ethical standards. is it appropriate to call on or look to the chief justice to exert leadership if only to protect the integrity of the court? >> it's just not been done, rachel. it wasn't done when justice scalia wouldn't recuse himself in duck-gate. it's just not done. the justices are each left to their own devices. and as you can imagine, they're very, very smart people and very, very good at multi-page rationalizations, which is really what justice scalia done in the duck hunting case. he wrote this sort of love letter to the american people explaining why it was he didn't feel compromised. and the nut of his argument was, you know, justices have palled around with vice presidents, we're people, too, and we need to play with our friends.

joining success congresswoman democrat of illinois, chief deputy whip and strange advocate for women's issues. thanks for your time tonight. >> thanks, rachel. >> doesn't the government already ban funding for abortion? why do we need the no taxpayer funding for abortion act? >> well, because this bill actually goes way further. this says that a person whose imprr provides health care but that health insurance policy covers abortions, man or woman, then that employer can't get a tax break. if an individual who buys a policy that provides for abortion cannot get any kind of health care tax deduction if that policy were to cover abortion. so, now it goes into private money and private insurance policies and things that people do on their own. it's -- it is much further than
