such is the case with clarence butterfield. he's been here for two years and now his trial is only weeks away. >> it's a pretty hideous charge. i'm just being charged for, you know, killing my daughter. >> i found her dead about 11:45 on december 26th. i tried to like, revive her. but she was icy cold. it's like she had been dead for a while. all i did was sat there and looked at her for like two hours. >> why didn't you call the police. >> every time i call the police is i get arrested or hassled. all they would have done is i would have got arrested earlier. they weren't going to believe she was like that when i walked in. they're not going to believe that. >> butterfield has pled not guilty. >> it can't get much better than that, right? you can go around the world and not find anything close to this. i don't think they're really looking very hard to find the one-armed man. you know the one-armed man, the movie "the fugitive." i said you've been in homicide for 12 years and you've never seen "the fugitive"? i thought that was

like clarence, i am worried that we are not geographically diverse. i did not think the president was going to pick me because of that. i'm glad he picked me anyway. nobody wants to say it should be them. i think geographic, religious we all believe in god. there are issues that come up in terms of reactions where having a different perspective might be useful. i think we are missing things on the court. we are missing any justice who has criminal defense experience. everybody has either been -- [applause] we don't have a civil rights lawyer except ruth. we don't have one in general civil rights. i think that is a type of practice. tony kennedy did some solo practice. his was unique practice in california. it was a product of his dad who joined -- he joined his father. we have a lot of big term lawyers. there are no small practitioners. you need diversity not just of life background, but of legal experience background. we are being asked to decide questions involving not just ordinary people, but if i had the power, i would encourage the appointment o

joining me now is jess mcintosh and clarence page. thank you both for being here. >> great to be here rev. >> jess how will republicans respond to the president's argument on inequality now that they're in control of congress? >> yeah i mean the reason why the state of the union is one of my favorite times of the year is because when we get to talk about issues democrats do really well. we do really well across the board, even with a republican electorate. i mean minimum wage won on election night just as the democratic candidate in those same red states on the ballot lost. that was a really republican electorate electorate. so when the president talks about things like making it easier for families to take care of each other and themselves by mutting more money in their paychecks, taking a bit off the wealthier 1% that resonates across the board, so republicans are really put in a box trying to explain why that is not sound economic policy when we have seen what happens when you funnel money to the wealthiest and to corporations for

brady about a decade ago as i was finishing my first book, a biography of a 19th century explorer named clarence king. after the civil war, king had led one of the important scientific missions of the west and was the first person to incorporate photography into that sort of study. he chose a man to accompany him, timothy o. sullivan who then worked with king on the survey for three years. he had been a protege of matthew brady, quite possibly meeting him in the 1850s as a boy living on staten island where brady had a home while running a photographic portrait gallery in manhattan. as i read about o'sullivan, i realized there was no first-rate biography of matthew brady, who i thought deserved one. here's a flattering painting of mr. brady from mr. holtzer's museum. how little i knew was accurate even though i spent a year reading enough to write a proposal for the book. it should have struck me, given the industry of scholars and of journalists such as myself, that if there was not a good book about such an important figure there might be a reason why. in fact, there are two good reasons. one i
