administration. we are having all these -- debates. different points of view and the ability to sit in the room and hash things back and forth. i don't think you can always expect that everybody is going to walk in lock step and the fact that there can be healthy disagreement and conversation and dialogue within an administration, you know i don't think that is a big deal. shannon: this president as a campaigner was often lauded for his ability to communicate so we'll see if they can get on the same page there, alan colmes always great to see you. >> reporter: thanks for having me. shannon: thanks. we've got a bit of a breaking news story here this is fox news alert the supreme court we're learning is just now refusing to stop the enforcement of the military's "don't ask don't tell" policy. you know this has been going to a number of levels in the courts all throughout california, through the 9th circuit. the supreme court has been asked to stop in. they are refusing to block "don't ask don't tell" until this issue is on appeal until they can get to the merits and contents of the case.
