today, republican senators continued to try to open up the massachusetts senate seat that scott brown could run for. i think john kerry would be an excellent appointment and would be easily confirmed by his colleagues. if the president wants an easy confirmation hearing and process, nominate john kerry, who is imminently qualified to be secretary of state and i believe he would sail through in the nominating process. joining me now, ari mel ber. ari, you re coming to us tonight from kerry country, boston and i ve got to think this is a horrible moment for senator kerry. you don t want to be the guy who gets praise from the mindless attackers of susan rice. yeah, i don t think he wants any part of this very weird boomerang play the republicans are trying to practice. he knows her well because as
internal investigators who she believed were trying to persuade her not to file a sexual harassment complaint against a police officer. the woman went to trial and was found not guilty by a jury of her peers. the good police officers in this country, which is to say most, have no problem with the supreme cou court s decision. you can videotape them all day and you won t find them doing anything wrong. thank you. but tonight, thanks to federal judges appoint ed wii both democratic and republican presidents, some chicago cops, the bad cops, have something new to fear. your video.
