i think there are people in the who oppose abortion. many do. i don t dispute that. what s feigned is the traing over what was on the doctored videotape and trying to link that. we re making an issue about the videotape and supposedly illegal activity which isn t illegal. we re making all of this stuff the issue. when in fact republicans just don t want abortions to be legal when they are. and no one in the democratic party is celebrating abortion. you began by saying most americans don t support this position. most americans don t have this positionem i agree. most right now based on polls what i just say id is true and also based on polls the planned parenthood is more particular than the gop. sorry. i m just trying to catch up. i got to end it there. thanks to both of you. i appreciate it. coming up in the newsroom,
have something to hide. i don t know. it infuriates me to the point that it makes me nauseous. i was nauseous watching this video. what infuriates me is the fraud. this is right wing pornography. the same individuals who produce this video have been called out by the press repeatedly for the same individuals producing this film that you featured tonight have been nailed for producing films that have been misleading. they didn t make her talk about crushing fetal organs and trying to get a breach delivery so that she preserves the head for someone to dissect. the edited the film to represent misleading. she is not claiming that. planned parenthood s defense is that this isn t illegal. no that s not correct. it is correct. their defense is that you are wrong.
about exactly that notion of breaking the idea that the ncaa is a rule maker. there s a sports scandal. the scandal is in fact something that isn t illegal, it s against ncaa rules which, as you re saying, are unnecessarily punitive often to the young people. will this change the whole idea of what constitutes a scandal in collegiate sports? well, i think it should. in any other industry, let s not kid ourselves, big-time basketball and big-time football are industries. yes. in any other one, if the companies got together and said, we can t pay workers more than this, we can t give them benefits more than this, they would go to jail. that s a criminal violation of the antitrust laws. the ncaa has created this myth that everybody is an amateur. the only thing that s amateur about this is that the people
isn t illegal. you can actually receive those kind of gifts and you don t have to disclose it under virginia s very loose ethics and campaign finance laws. it does seem according to this washington post piece that what s being pursued are federal charges, not state-based charges. this story had a lot of political reporters very surprised, just given the fact what we know about virginia s own ethics and campaign finance laws. all right, mark. thank you very much. well, as president obama prepares to sign the long delayed budget deal, one of its co-authors is now trying to distance herself from a key element of the bill. senator patty murray says the provision that cuts pension benefits for some military vets will ultimately be fixed by congress. on the senate floor this week, she said we wrote this bill in a way that will allow two years before this change is implemented so that democrats and republicans can keep working to either improve this provision
writing law. but what he is doing isn t illegal. there is a cause in the executive branch from the take care powers and he has the right to change it. and i think people would find that surprising. that depends on your reading of the law. in my opinion, and a lot of legal scholars i have talked to, they say when the president wants to change an element of the law, he has to go back to congress and get it amended and that is not what he is doing. if the president can rewrite the law, what is the hard language standing for? but the executive decision is better than going back to congress. of course. you are the president, that is the way you will do it. and i ask why have a congress at all? we have a separation of powers. a system of checks and balances.
