again tonight, something happened. this was an e-mail after saying she had second thoughts about their marriage. here s the thing, doug. there s nobody out on this cliff with them together. exactly. apaerntly the prosecutors have no eyewitnesses. so is it kind of a there s no he said. he s gone. i think lis agrees it s a hard case technically to prove first degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt. we don t know if she shoved him. look, oliver wendell holmes, great supreme court justice said jokingly, even a dog can tell the difference between being kicked and stumbled over. the point being, was he shoved or was it an accident. in the court of law is there such thing as consciousness of guilt? absolutely. can the juries hear that? can they make a decision about murder based on what they think was going on in her mind? like making up different stories can you really pull the trigger on a first degree murder just because somebody lied? i m not sure. that s a good poi
healthcare.gov came under fire for not having the window shopping option when it first launched. a key component widely available on many other web shopping sites. chief white house correspondent ed henry live now with the story. ed, have the new updates to the healthcare.gov website improved the user experience? reporter: gretchen, that s certainly the hope here at the white house. they figure if you can get that website working full time, you can get people have been a more user friendly experience, they won t get upset. they won t go away. they ll actually try to stay and enroll. but as you know, the case republicans have been trying to make is that even if the website is fixed, once you get on there and try to enroll, you may get some sticker shock. which republican ron johnson is talking about today, although a democrat, ezekiel emanuel, one of the architects of the law insists the more people learn about the benefits, the more they ll like it. take a listen. in wisc
done. not a lot of time to do it. debate over resolution to take military action in syria and now the top priority but they will have two major budget deadlines in the not too distant future. the publisher of safety, and fox news contributor, doug schoen pollster for bill clinton, and, doug, you were with president clinton at a time in which he faced a very similar situation and talk to us about what happened? guest: in 1999, as many remember, the president made a decision to bomb serbia given the incursion that the serbs made into kosovo. the president, i remember, anguishing about the decision, but saying basically, that after
violated that is what is at stake and why president obama s decision can be criticized to go to congress. gregg: you told us, doug, what bill clinton did back then. and you have seen what president obama is doing now, is this a pretext, an excuse, to, as some would say, weasel out of taking action? guest: i am afraid it could be. the president has a narrative which is blame congress and blame the republicans. if we don t get a budget deal or on the debt ceiling he 8 blame congress and the republicans. if we don t get a vote to use military action it will be the same refrain and it could be good politics that remains to be seen but it is bad policy and it puts america at risk. gregg: justin, you have an interesting coalition in congress of neocons including john mccain and other republicans and then you have
surgical strike against syria, there are new questions over whether president obama actually has the legal authority to bypass congress and move forward with an attack, even without their approval. republican senator rand paul just one of the many lawmakers to speak out about this. here he is on meet the press. his policy was that no president should unilaterally go to war without congressional authority. and i m proud that he is sticking by it. but you ask john kerry whether or not he ll stick by the decision of congress, and i believe he waffled on that and wobbled and wasn t exactly concrete that they would. but absolutely if congress votes this down, we should not be involved in the syrian war. and i think it s at least 50/50 whether the house will vote down involvement in the syrian war. all right. joining us now to talk about the legality of it, doug byrnes and dick knoll deboer. both are defense attorneys and prosecutors. doug, let me start with you.
