we was confused. >> now, 18 years later, an assistant district attorney says there may have been an injustice, and only will release them if they wear monitoring ankle bracelets. >> we can take this step that we are going to consent to the conditional vacating of the convick summon for these two defendants and the condition being they wear the electronic monitoring bracelets. >> all that is left now is for the judge to make it official. >> the record will reflect the conditional vacater as to the conviction of glisson and watkins is granted and each defendant is released on their own recognizance. >> eric's friends and family and
the vacation -- vacating of the death penalty, is now nominated to be the head of the civil rights division of the department of justice, for goodness sake, the highest profile position. the widow of the cop says wait a second. hear my testimony. hear how badly this man al jamal hurt my family when he killed my husband, the cop. the senate judiciary committee, however, said no, you may not testify. you've missed the technical deadline. you should have testified -- >> the democrats on the committee. >> right. there were ten democrats on the senate judiciary committee. eight republicans. straight party line vote last night. they vote to confirm adebile. it's insensitive. it did divide philadelphia and the nation. the national fraternal order of cops wanted very much to give testimony as well to deny this man his confirmation. he was confirmed anyway on straight party lines. and the senate, because of the
archives. >> that is creepy they write into the logs vacating. and so, >> maybe the president was right about being the most transparent administration ever. >> so there is a law. outer oaf yaul yal law telling us who visited and when. is that public? or used to answer questions being asked by the public? >> well, first what happens is that they take that log and send it to a career employee of the national archives called white house diarist, that person is responsible for keeping a minute by minute record for scholars and the rest f they're sending a record of the bathroom break tz national archives they can send how many times he met with kathleen sebelius. jay carney says i don't have numbers all he
it's creepy, but they do it. they write in, vacating. that's in the record. >> they do not. >> they do. that's the word we use to joke about it. >> maybe the president was right about this being the most transparent administration ever. so there is a log. the outer oval log would tell us who visited with the president and when. >> exactly. >> is that used? >> they take the log and send it to a career employee called the white house diaress who keep as meticulous record for future generations. if they are sending a record of the bathroom breaks to the national archives they are sending how many times met with kathleen sebelius. it's not put out like the press record is. when jay carney says i don't
we'll start with south dakota's tim johnson and just point out that the reason why they think he'll flip, josh, is he's ret e retiring. what's your take? >> tim johnson is one of the likely seven candidates because he's not running for reelection. but there's another political dynamic in a conservative state like south carolina that could allow him to stay opposed to gay marriage, and that's because his son is a very likely candidate for the senate seat that he a's vacating. so he doesn't want to give his son any potential baggage. it's a socially conservative state. so if his son does run for the senate seat it's more likely he'll probably continue to be one of the seven who decides not to change his mind on gay marriage. >> as we look aat florida's bill nelson, why he'll flip, 54% of florida voters support marriage equality. isn't that a good indicator right there, josh, of where -- if the constituents feel comfortable with marriage equality, shouldn't that be reflective upward? >> yeah, thomas.
now they are null and void. i want to ask you from your expertise and then please make your points and argument. what's the impact on labor from the fact that those decisions -- 'cause i read the decisions during the term. there are some very significant choices that were made mostly pro union. >> well, i attempt today answer that in the last question, right now that those decisions are vacated, but that-- vacating of those decisions can be stayed when appealed to the supreme court. >> if it's appealed. >> which it will be. >> and this was an extraordinary position that overturns over a hundred years of precedent. it wasn't-- these are what's called intersession, intra session appointments, rather. and president bush to jay's point-- probable made over 140 of these intrasession appointments. obama had made only 26. these go back every single president over the last hundred years has made these and as to the point as to
they're not only wrong and illegal, null and void, that it actually is a breach of our constitution, so, who's impacted by the decisions that are no longer in play? >> it's unclear what will happen to the decisions particularly if there's appeal to the supreme court. the vacating of those decisions could itself be stayed. but, look, this is an extraordinary decision by the d.c. circuit. it overturns over 100 years of precedent. every single president, republican and democrat, during the last hundred years, 150 years, has made these kind of recess appointments, and what the court said yesterday was na the president's constitutional power is limited to extremely narrow window between when congress goes out of session at the end of each year or when you're between congresses, what was going on here was that the house was refusing to go out of session solely for the purpose of thwarting the president's constitutional right to make recess appointments. 90 to 95% of the members of
acquittal or a vacating of his sentence, which this is all speculation. we don't exactly know what's going on in there as fred said. so it could result, if everything is, the government find their not credible and for whatever reason the sentence is vacated. if he served out the remaining sentences then he could be free. that is lot of ifs before we get to the end. we don't even know that this is what's, the meetings are about. we think it is because that is what seems to make the most sentence from the outside. we don't really know. which is little bit of a problem. if there is a issue for potential snitch of a snitch, then you know the marshals are very good and they can put him or bureau of prisons are very good and put him in some sort of protective custody but the question, we don't know. chandra levy's family has the right to know since they are the victims in this
plans as reported by the ap that they are saying depending on how many people don't pay we are going to lose between 19 million and $121 million. this is all under a program that president obama just created -- this was not approved by congress -- >> yeah. megyn: it may be $121 million of taxpayers money to help the illegal immigrants this this country that nobody has approved this program except for president obama. >> and nobody has bulge hette budgeted for. we have a unilateral vacating of major immigration law done by the president with this. we have essentially de facto amnesty for this particular group of people. megyn: they only get work permits. >> correct but we all know once we go down this road eventually citizenship will be part of the package. it's not as of yet, but this is usually the path it goes. and then on top of it now we have this extra cost to the taxpayer, and the most important thing i think is that this is such a vehicle for expanding and growing government, because as you mentioned the department of
