state of california that many of their citizens are not to be treated equally. it was very disappointing to me. didn t seem like the california i knew. so when i was approached about it, i think i surprised them by saying, yes, i would be will be to take this case, anxious to take this case if we could do it right. so david, when your former opponent, and i guess over the course of bush v. gore, you guys were colleagues. people don t understand how the sort of courtroom experience is. maybe shocked you guys are friends. what was your thought when you were first approached? i don t think it took me more than half a second to say yes. this was a case that was a critical case. i believe it is the defining civil rights issue of our time. when i was young, 1960s, i was working in mississippi on racial issues that i think were the defining civil rights issue of that time. and i thought that this was a critical issue to continue the movement of this country towards the goals that our foun
administration is under investigation for making up a story about a fake traffic study thinks, quote, i could make up an answer at any time that sounds convincing. do you know how many times you re going to hear that line in attack ads against chris christie in republican presidential primaries if he makes the mistake of actually running for president? you re going to hear it a lot and it turns out nothing he said there is actually true. not even the bit about being a trained lawyer, a law school graduate is not a trained lawyer. a trained lawyer is it someone with courtroom experience, real trial experience, years and years of it. usually decades of it. when chris christie was picked by president george w. bush for the political appointment of being the u.s. attorney in new jersey, chris christie was completely unqualified for that position. christie had zero experience in criminal law and had never so much as filed a motion in federal court. no experience in federal court.
as you can tell, christie was once again playing to a solid republican crowd in a safe republican area of new jersey and so they think it s funny that a governor whose administration is under investigation for making up a story about a fake traffic study thinks, quote, i could make up an answer at any time that sounds convincing. do you know how many times you re going to hear that line in attack ads against chris christie in republican presidential primaries if he makes the mistake of actually running for president? you re going to hear it a lot and it turns out nothing he said there is actually true. not even the bit about being a trained lawyer, a law school graduate is not a trained lawyer. a trained lawyer is it someone with courtroom experience, real trial experience, years and years of it. usually decades of it. when chris christie was picked by president george w. bush for the political appointment of being the u.s. attorney in new jersey, chris christie was completely unqual
shred of decentsy but if there is anything there he would not make these women go through a trial, but, again, he may want to confront them and, chris, if that trial does take place, there may be value in these women finally being able to confront him and finally being able to be in charge and saying you are not in control of me any more, you will not me any more. there is going to be good and bad either way this case goes. i remember seeing elizabeth smart if nher his courtroom experience. again, the strength that she showed. something i will never forget. clint van zandt, always good to talk to you, sir. thank you so much. thanks, chris. we have new details on the health of secretary of state john kerry s wife. she suffered a grand malseizure on sunday and experts call it the most serious type of seizure and involves the whole body. she is in fair condition in a
the one who called george zimmerman crazy ass and the n- word and trayvon used the n word about george zimmerman. the only evidence is that trayvon using the term. that is a big problem for the prosecution. they are doing everything they can to paint zimmerman as a racist and introducing prior 911. so the jury is hearing blackmail, black male and they don t have him using the n word or racial epithet. the only one who used racial slander is trayvon martin. who was a friend who was friendly to the prosecution and not defense. what do you make of her over all demeanor and we sit here and have our courtroom experience. but these are regular folk it s jury and what are they going to say what? to us it is contemptuous.
