jobs in march. unemployment claims are starting to slow down. the all-important unemployment rate comes out tomorrow. on top of that, the president just signed a new law making it easier for small businesses to raise money. >> because of this bill, start-ups and small business will now have access to a big new pool of potential investors. namely, the american people. >> we also saw something really unusual at today's bill signing. the man right over the president's shoulder, circled in red, republican house majority leader, eric cantor. normally, these two don't see eye to eye on anything. our chief white house correspondent, jessica yellin, was there witnessing this unusual event. an alliance between eric cantor and the president. tell us. why are these two men finally working together? >> because they want to show that washington can get something done. despite all the acrimony here, both parties suffer because of the gridlock in washington. the republican brand, the unfavorable rating for republicans has gone up ten points over the last year. the president was elected promising to get the parties to work together. so both sides have a motivation to show when it comes to the top issue, getting jobs, getting americans back to work, they can cut some deals and that's what today's bill signing ceremony was about, gloria. >> so, jess, this helps some small businesses raise capital, which is important but there are some democrats who have been complaining that there aren't enough investor protections in this measure. so do they have a point? >> they do. there are some protections still in the measure but it is not just partisans who are complaining, gloria, even the head of the s.e.c. has warned that pieces of this bill could lead to abuse. some of the reasons why. there are elements of this bill that mean companies do not have to get outside, independent audits before they go public with their new investors in a timely way. there is a piece that says that they don't have to offer conflict research to investors before encouraging them to invest in the companies and sometimes they don't have to disclose their financials all together in a timely way. the president said, look, we are going to make sure that regulators oversee these companies to make sure investors are safe. a lot of people are taking a wait and see approach to this one. there is some concern, gloria. >> that way, the president gets to keep the s.e.c. funded as a watchdog. thanks a lot. >> there also are new developments in what started out as a legal fight and turned into an increasingly bitter battle involving president barack obama. many conservatives took some of the comments as an attack on the judicial system. kate bolduan reports, justice department had to do some explaining today. >> three pages single spaced. that was the unusual order by a federal circuit court. attorney general, eric holder, personally responded, saying nothing has changed. the power of the courts to review the constitutionality of legislation is beyond dispute. president obama's top law enforcement officials say, of course, the administration believes that the courts have the power to declare acts of congress unconstitutional. a long accepted pillar of constitutional law. still, this seemingly academic exercise is at the center of a testy political dispute over the supreme court's review of the health care law. >> i am just saying there is a lot of -- it is kind of ridiculous to believe that the president wasn't talking about the context of the case. >> the white house remains on the defensive with the republicans remaining in the fight. mitch mcconnell telling the president to back off. all stemming from these comments. >> i am confident that the supreme court will not take what would be an unprecedented extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected congress. >> remarks some interpreted as challenging the court's authority and fueling the flames. federal judge, jerry smith, tuesday, demanded an explanation. the attorney general in his letter defends the president saying his remarks were fully consistent with the principles of judicial review. though, don't expect this to mark the end of the controversy. he is making it clear to the court that the position of the president of the united states and the executive branches that the courts basically should keep their nose out of the shaping of economic policy, except in the most dire of circumstances. so, you know, i think there is still quite a bit tension now between the executive and judicial branches of the government and this is rare. >> will passions clearly remain very high? it is all political talk as it is really the reality. the final word is going to come from one place and one place only, the supreme court. you know that, gloria. this public spat, while getting a lot of attention and very interesting, an interesting debate, albeit. it is not likely to have any real impact on the justices and their final decision on the health care case. we will get that in june. >> you can be sure it will be at the center of the presidential election. >> the politics and judiciary, two different debates. the fight to allow women to join the all male augusta national golf club turned political today. listen as white house spokesman, jay carney weighs in on the push to allow the ceo of ibm who happens to be a woman to wear the green jacket. >> the president's answer to this question is, yes. he believes, his personal opinion is that women should be admitted. i happened to have a discussion with him about this. so i know that's his answer. >> things got pretty interesting after that. some more comments from some more politicians. here is senior politician, joe johns. the candidates are having a ball with this. forget the pun. >> and women are teed off. >> take a look. >> if i were a member and if i could run augusta, which isn't likely to p ha, of course i would have women in augusta. >> even newt gingrich, whose political career is rooted in georgia, has gotten into the act, along with his wife, calista. the former speaker tweeted, i think calista would be a great member of augusta. maybe she would let me play. she tweeted herself, i'm a golfer and i'd love to belong to augusta. i have reached out to the santorum campaign. so far, nothing from them just yet. >> let me make a redix that rick santorum will also be for women to be admitted to augusta. >> it doesn't take a political scientist to figure this one out. >> let pea tell you why. of course, you already know. there is a new poll out, a g gallup "usa today" poll. if you take a look at these numbers, president obama, 51%. mid romney, 37%. republicans need to get their numbers up there with women. >> big gender gap. i was with mitt romney earlier this week. he said, look, i want everybody's votes, women's votes, men's votes. the fact of the matter is, that is not that good of an answer when you consider the population problem here. he has decided to get in the game and out front. >> no more puns. thanks a lot, joe johns. still ahead, outrageous videos of u.s. government workers joking about being untouchable big spenders. a former senate colleague has some blunt advice for rick santorum. >> this campaign is over for the nomination. santorum is looking for 2016 or he may want to write a book or sign on to a seekers bureau. there is nothing left of his candidacy.
