justice stevens would not necessarily take the same position as justice marshall and justice brennan and justice blackman in terms of dissenting from denials of certain, preventing stays if there were other considerations, equitable considerations or so forth. but if it were actually squarely presented to him, i don't know from his opinion in bath what the answer to that is. and i just wonder what your instincts are. >> well, from his opinion -- he says very clearly in baze that he defers to the precedent of the court. and he is very much a judge who has put a great deal of value and weight on precedent. and so i think it isn't -- i think it was very intentional in baze, even though his conclusion was clear, and even though i think what could make the argument that it was the moment to dissent, that he did not because of precedent. so i guess i would say i remain hopeful but not optimistic that he would necessarily take the blackman step. and one reason which i'm really ill-qualified to speculate about but others i think have alluded to is that he continues to be an active member of the

administration. it is now solely a war with al qaeda and its violent extremist allies, said john brennan, speaking yesterday at the center for strategic and international studies, a think-tank in washington. the semantic shift is intended to bring precision to the way othe president and his aides tak about the nation's efforts to defeat al qaeda. to say the u.s. is fighting jihadists is wrongheaded." more from the washington times, "is using a legitimate term, and g hyde, mean to purify oneself or to wage a holy struggle for a moral bowl, which risks giving these document it risks reinforcing the idea that we're somehow at war with islam itself. as for the war on terrorism, mr. brennan said, the administration will not use the phrase because terrorism is but a tactic. a means to an end which, in al qaeda's case, is global domination by a islamic caliphate. he also dismissed global war as a term that feed al qaeda's vision of itself as a highly organized global entity capable of replacing sovereign nations with a global caliphate." we want to get your reaction to the white house dropping

a thought the school paper was. i remember i it just brennan artie about parent night which i thought was probably the most boring thing in the world, and was talking to a teacher, mike sheppard hill said i really want to write things that are more interesting. he said why don't you? done under his encouragement i went off and wrote an article about laetrile and the school paper and thought that was kind of interesting. that started me down a path of writing about topics that apaled to me and ultimately i realizeds a writer you can look at anything in do anything. you can if you decide you are interested in politics, the reporting for politics is the same as the reporting for a scandal or repoing have a feature story and you just have to apply it. so i started eventually at the time i started jumping around from tic to topic of just things that caught my fancy. c-span: bob strauss, how does he really to the adm corp.? >> guest: bob strauss, starting in the late 1960's when he and dwayne andreas went to the same fund-raiser for a senator from texas, bob strauss and dwayne andre

christine brennan sports columnist of for "usa today" one of the best in the business. man, elizabeth lambert really went it for. are our young ladies becoming more violent? let's start with these soccer cases here. what you are seeing. >> well, what i'm seeing is violence in sports which has always been there and what i'm seeing is that more women are playing sports and more girls are playing sports so the girls and women are starting to display the same kinds of aggression in sports the boys and men already have. they do it for the same reasons. they do it, one, because they think they'll get away with it and they think somehow it's going to help them win. in other words, they think they'll be rewarded it for. so, if it goes unpunished and they are rewarded you're going to see more people being violent or aggressive in sports. >> you are just saying they are emulating the guys, not a societal message we are giving the girls the green light to become more violent a strict sports thing. >> well, i do know in many sports you see lots of aggression and foul play and if it's caught, it g

counter terrorism advisor, a man named john brennan. more interesting, i think, rather than just following the, you know, trail of bread crumbs to what led to this is he is also going to get a report on the half a million potential terrorists that appear to want to do some harm to the united states that are already on some sort of watch list. time to begin, i would say, investigating them and doing some background checks because we know that this guy was on that list but nothing ever went anywhere with that information. clayton: you are right. that 500,000 person list that didn't rise to the level of then putting them on the no fly list which is about 14,000 or 7,000, different numbers back and forth. one of the main points that i love though in this report is that president obama is going to look for finger pointing. this is one of the report numbers. number three on the list anyway according to politico. look for finger pointing and leaking among intelligence agencies. you don't need a report to tell you that has unfolded. dave: finger pointing well underway. let's go back to y

brennan on the injured reserve, they dot have a young guy to turn to. >> we have to leave it there. >> thank you. >> and we'll keep steering everybody toward your show, 106.7 the fan, the yankee and let's turn to tony crunk -- the junky. let's turn to tony for the weath. >>> not going to warm us up a whole lot. cool and breezy. winds out of the north at 10 miles per hour. high of about 51 degrees. your five-day forecast, saturday looks good. 60 with sunshine on sunday. and that's a quick look at the forecast. steve and allison, back to you. >>> it is 7:45 right now as we continue to talk about what is our big story this morning. 13 people now dead after the mass shooting at fort hood in texas. the worst shooting on a u.s. military installation. >> for more on the stress of life in the military, we are joined by major general bob scales. good morning, sir. >> good morning. how are you doing this morning. >> we're doing okay. this is terrible news. you must have just been heart breaken you served 30 years in the military and served in vietnam. talk about the stress this soldier could

officials, including john brennan and others, to continue planning for what the president and his administration talked about earlier this year. what we saw building up and what affected communities throughout the company and affected countries throughout the world hit in many ways at the back end of our own flu season. that very likely give us a preview of the severity that we will face come the fall. we are taking steps by working with state and local officials, working with communities, working with school districts, to ensure that they have the best information and what steps can and need to be taken to get ready for what we know is coming. obviously, many countries around the world -- we have seen a preview of the attacks in nature that this is going to provide, the ability of which this is going to affect our infrastructure. i know the team is working through the decision making on the development of antiviral and production of anti barrels and production for the texting -- anti-virals and production of that vaccine. there are a lot of things that we can and need to do to ge

chief medical officer dr. troy brennan. good morning. we were out here, you had your big van and people were getting vaccinations for the regular seasonal flu a couple of weeks ago. what has been the response before we get to h1n1 for the seasonal flu in because i'm just guessing a lot of people are showing up for those shots. >> there has been a tremendous response to the seasonal flu this year. and a lot more people are getting vaccinated. we're seeing people getting v vaccinated at much greater rates. >> do you have enough vaccine for the seasonal flu? >> there are spot shortages every wrrk but we're still obtaining vaccine and we still have vaccine in our stores 37. >> let's to h1n1 because as that is trickling into the stem, the nasal stuff was available first, and then the shots will be coming online. do you sense that there will be enough h1n1 to go around? >> we do believe there will be enough. the government's been very careful in terms of the amount of h1n1 it's ordered and that's coming on line right now. it goes from the federal government out to the state health depa

the redskins. but did we learn something? >> it looks like colt brennan could learn the number three quarterback spotnd shawn suisham the kicker spot. and you looked at the crowd there in jacksonville, there were 30,000 people there and they're making people pay regular season prices. >> but that's they're fault for going to the game. don't put more money in their pocket. >> appears that malcolm kelly has emerged as the receiver over randle el because they did spend three second round draft points on receivers because they felt they needed to update at that spot. they need a big weapon and maybe malcolm can be the guy. >> randle el, did that hurt his chances. >> i think they drafted them. randle el hasn't been roe ducttive and -- productive so i think kelly will start in week one as number two. randle el is an old veteran and he's good for the older guys but he's not a productive number two receiver so i think he will be the number two. >> and he's had a productive training camp. he may end up being the number two receiver to start. we don't know. it appears to be malcolm kelly, but

in the decisions they make. they must understand as justice brennan put it, the pulse of life beneath the official version of events. the pulse of life beneath the official version of events. justice sotomayor understands those realities because she witnessed them first hand as a prosecutor, litigator and a judge working up on our laws and keep our community safe and give people the chance to live out their dreams. work that she has done with devotion, with distinction and with an unyielding commitment to giving back to this country that has given her so much. and she understands these things because she's lived these things. because her life is one of those only in america stories. raised by a single mom in the south bronx, determined to give her every opportunity to succeed. prupo p propelled by the talent and hard work that would earn her scholarships at the best schools in the country and driven by the belief that it doesn't matter where you come from or what you look like or what challenges life throws your way, no dream is beyond reach in the united states of america. with her e

liberties. justice william brennan said in order for government to ensure those rights, government officials must be attentive to the realities at stake in the decisions they make. they must understand the pulse of life beneath the official version of events. justice so tommyre or understands those realities because she has witnessed them firsthand. sonia sotomayor understands these realities. we give people a chance to live out their dreams come out work that she has done with devotion and with an unyielding commitment to give back to this country that has given her so much. she understands these things because she has lived these things, because her life is one of those only in america stories, raised by a single mother in the south bronx determined to give her every opportunity to succeed, propelled by the talent and hard work that would earn her scholarships by the best schools in the country, driven by the belief that it does not matter where you come from or what challenges life throws your way, no dream is beyond reach in the united states of america. with the depth and expe

president and we'll see fit caps on much as the concept dignity did when justice brennan and chief justify underlying principal that the constitution protected. everyone think, we're giving a trial run this time. host: lorraine joins us. good morning. chris: good morning. i have comment. and the comment i have, and then i will follow with a question, is all i have heard is political divisions. in our country, that is promoting racism. i've heard from viewers, nothing but angry, racist big two-fisted comments. whites, blacks, hispanics and everyone in between are pitting against one another. and this is bringing about a destruction of our country. host: certainly the debate this morning people had been bringing up race quite a bit. are you hearing that discussion on the hill right now? is race really a factor? >> well, i think it's been said racism is the original sin of the united states. the country's founding and incorporating slavery was an issue that has continued to haunt the unite ever the way that society has developed. but i think more specifically there's a particular issu

that. >> you have to see new blood. you're 2-6 and colt brennan is on ir. and thomas and kelly have done nothing. >> let's look for better news. for better news we'll turn to allison and to, a look at somet nice out there today and that is our forecast as we take a look at some beautiful autumn conditions out there this morning. >> very pretty, gentlemen. thank you so much. >>> and the colors are coming in nice. and i have toel you -- i have to tell you, tony, it was a great weekend. the leaves got raked up. >> andeverybody seemed to do that. >> was it was calm. and you have another one today if you didn't get it done yesterday. take a look at that picture. just gorgeous. and the temperatures are in the cool to mild range is wat i would call it this morning. take a look at the regional temperatures. here we're 49 degrees. elsewhere across the eastern u.s., temperatures are a mixed bag. 49 in new york city, 42 in boston. 50 in pittsburgh, 57 cape hatteras. 43 in raleigh, north carolina. here is a look at the surface map for today. high pressure, that's it. calm conditions. a good amo

that are there was a speech given by john brennan, who is a home security adviser and said that jihad does not mean holy war but it means peace and love. that was a carryover from the michael chertoff memorandum from 2007 that said they would not use the word jihad. i think that is a tremendous mistake. if we cannot define the enemy as to who he is, we can never expect to defeat them. the reality is that the apologists for jihad want to define it in terms of spiritual good struggle. it can mean that but for the holy warriors, and they know who they are, jihad means a holy war or struggle to impose islam. host: next up is our line for independence from springfield, virginia. caller: i want to ask about the right wing politicians like dick arfmemey and bill like -- and te like -- are they considered homegrown terrorism? i'm talking about undermining the president of the united states. they undermine him with their rhetoric they accuse him of being a socialist and accuse him of not being born in the united states. they are undermining the president of the united states that was jus

virus this country. i want to thank john brennan, are cdc director and secretary sebelius and the polish town on and others for all -- all the good work that they have been doing to get ready. when we fall -- when we saw the first cases of this fire is back in spring, i want everybody to be prepared. we know that we usually get a second, larger wave of these filoviruses in the fall, as a response plans had been put into -- as a fluke of viruses -- flu viruses in the fall, so response plans had been put into place. we're looking for a safe and effective h1n1 flu vaccine. we expected to begin soon, and it will be completely voluntary but strongly recommended. for all that we do in the ad federal government however, every american has a part to play in responding to this virus. we need state and local governments to make antiviral medications and vaccines available and be ready to take whatever steps are necessary to support the health care system. we need hospitals and health care providers to continue preparing for an increase patient lead in to take steps to protect health-care wo

brennan, cobbling together majorities of people for positions that don't -- that aren't always intuitively obvious as a legal matter. but in some sense, have this real underbelly of pragmatism and politics in the best sense of the word, in terms of making people of all sides and all persuasions come together and celebrate the decision. and there are some costs to that, of course. a cost in terms of fidelity to the statutory text and a precedent as well, but there's a multimember of court. maybe a real strong case to be made for it. on the other hand, you could say, well, there's the view of the true intellectual, the frankfurter, or the then judge rehnquist -- justice rehnquist, writing these lone decents in the 1970's, which ultimately become in many cases the law of the land. there justice thomas i think is really staking out a bit of that territory and not being afraid to be the lone decenter in the voting rights act case or in the trip search case. it's unclear to me which is the right way to be. but i do think that that is a really powerful question that is set up by the v

that decision was vacated by the circuit to reconsider that case in bank. brennan engaging in a serious inquiry into the witness for the supreme court many of my republican colleagues have made this nomination into a referendum on whether the newly minted individual right to bear arms to be incorporated against the states for the first time in the nation's history very this is doubly unfair. first judge sotomayor could not answer questions at her hearing that would suggest how she would ruin in later cases. that is inappropriate. second it is inappropriate to try to force on a giant a particular political view us of the price of admission to her judicial office. criticisms of effuse reliance in the various speeches are equally perplexing. judge sotomayor's long and noncontroversial 17 year judicial record and should have to allay any concerns about those remarks. but social the context of those features themselves. the wise latina, and we have heard so much about came in a speech that are you how important is for judges to guard against bias in to be aware of their own prejudice

william brennan from eisenhower. -- presidents pick members from their own party is certainly for the supreme court, by and large for what the constitution calls the inferior of federal judiciary. how the answers -- how do any of you answer that riders saying, look, what you believe this one to do is substitute an opaque form of politics for a transparent form of politics. >> that is so wrong. under a system that i helped design for arizona, we set up a bipartisan commission of citizens to consider applications of people who want to be a judge. when there is a vacancy, they let anybody apply. this application and those records are open to the public. anybody can find out who has applied. when they interview these people, they are open to the public. they asked that the person wants to be considered file forms and answer questions. that is also open to the public. the commission is not dominated by lawyers. there are a handful of lawyers on the commission paid by and large, it is citizens and they have to be of both political parties. i do not see how you could be more open than th

, john brennan, arne duncan and our entire team have tried to engage in the most rigorous planning exercise to make sure that anything that may occur in the fall we're prepared for. and so i won't go through the details of this. i'm sure that kathleen and janet and others have laid out what the potential consequences are of a new outbreak of h1n1. we want to make sure that we are not promoting panic but we are promoting vigilance and preparation. and the most important thing for us to do in this process is to make sure that state and local officials prepare now to implement a vaccination program in the fall but also that they are working on an overall public communications campaign with the white house and the possibilities that we may need to be dealing with schools that are seeing significant outbreaks of h1n1. and we've looked at past cases of this being properly handled in situations like this being improperly handled. and one of the most important differences is where it's well-handled state and local officials have complete ownership over this issue. they are providing good i
