so in texas or out of texas. so casey was quite precise in this, and it's talking about husbands and notification. all the women who are getting abortion, you look only to the women for whom this is a problem. and so the only women we would be look at -- it's not all the women who live in austin or in dallas, but the women who have the problem who don't live near a clinic, isn't that the clear message of casey and the husband notification? >> when a law's regulating women as it would in the spousal notification provision, that might be different. but when we're talking about doctor and clinic regulations, when the law going to have a relevant effect is going to be for every doctor and every clinic which is precisely why the fifth circuit noted that was the proper denominator. petitioners have not challenged that denominator holding in their opening -- >> but this is about, what it's about is that a woman has a fundamental right to make this choice for herself. that's what we thought as the starting premise. and t

ted cruz won in texas.

this is what texas looked like when texas declared independence from mexico. you see, maybe you can see it, mr. speaker, i don't know. you see what is now texas over here. but you see a lot of other land. you see oklahoma and part of kansas, part of new mexico, part of colorado, even goes up to part of idaho. almost to the canadian border. all of this area here. texas claimed all that. that's the republic of texas. and claimed it for nine years. texas periodically would try to join the united states as a state. the 28th state. two times texas tried to join the union. and two times congress rejected texas' approval into the union. and on a third time, rather than have a treaty with texas, because texas was an independent ountry, a joint resolution filed, had passed the house of representatives, and it passed the senate, because you didn't need 2/3 vote then, we still have those discussions today, don't we? a joint resolution. and by one vote texas was admitted to the union in 1845. and 1846, actually came into the united states as the 28th state. so it was a re

hillary clinton wins in texas. ted cruz wins in texas. let's take a look at some of the votes actually coming in from texas right now. on the democratic side, 19% of the vote has been counted. she's got a sizable lead. hillary clinton with 66.6%. bernie sanders only 31.5%. we have projected hillary clinton wins texas. on the republican side, a bit closer, but ted cruz is the winner. a third of the republican vote is now in. ted cruz with 39.2%. donald trump with 28.2%. 19% for marco rubio. we've got some more votes coming in right now. first on the republican side, let's take a look at this. in oklahoma right now, ted cruz slightly ahead of donald trump and marco rubio. 33.8% for cruz. 30% for donald trump. 23.7% for marco rubio. very close, a third of the vote, 37% of the vote is in in oklahoma. in arkansas, only 12% of the vote is in, but donald trump has a slight lead right now. donald trump with 32.5%. marco rubio 29.5%. ted cruz slightly behind, 25.2%. that's in arkansas right now. take a look at vermont right now. the republican con

early in texas day because help texas would overwhelmingly for hillary clinton last night. your sense of what is happening in terms of the debate in the african-american community over clinton and sanders? >> i think it is interesting. a lot of the mainstream coverage of the center's campaign has talked about how it is an all-white campaign and very few campaign workers that are black. i have been to some of the events and that the organizers involved, and there is significant black staff. this raises larger russians about the coalition in the history of the democratic party. looking at the results of south carolina on super tuesday, what we're seeing arguments black voter turnout for hillary clinton. she has a compelling -- she is a compelling political figure. on the other hand, there really is a very big base of support, particularly among the black left and among academics, sstellectuals, and le working-class people. i think we have to do an analysis about what has happened. one thing i'm surprised about is the issues of massacres ration -- massacres ration, the war on

texas also, you have 222 delegates at stake, with the democrats in texas. at this point, hillary clinton is poised to have a solid victory there. we'll see. bernie sanders has a powerfully motivated base which has been helping finance his campaign, as well. he's going to be in this campaign all the way to the convention, no question about it. >> i almost threw you into the campaign when i referenced your last name a few minutes ago. what would you do if you were in this race? you ran in 2008. i've got to get your take on how this has been going. >> i ran in '04 and '08. '04, i took it to the convention. i think bernie sanders stays in. i think the candidates on the republican side may be inclined to stay in because every someone hoping for what you could call the sky hook it come down and put them in the chair of the nominee. but frankly, donald trump looks like he's building unstoppable momentum. bernie sanders, even if he falls behind in delegate counts, he will stay in all the way. i don't see that changing. >> very different race this year. former u.s.

so in texas or out of texas, casey was quite precise in this and talking about notifications. you don't look to all the women who are getting abortions. you look only to the women who often this is a problem. so the only women we would be looking at is not all of them who live in austin or in dallas, but the women who have the problem, who don't live near a clinic. isn't that the clear message of casein the husband notification? one oh laws regulating women as it would in spousal motivation provision, that might be different but were talking about doctrine including regulations, when the law is going to have a relevant effect is going to be for every doctor in every clinic which is precisely why the fifth circuit noticed that that was a proper denominator. they do not challenge the denominator. >> this is about, what what it's about is a woman has a fundamental right to make this choice for herself. that's what we thought at the starting premise. this is certainly about, casey made that claim that the focus is on the woman and it has to be on the number of women who are affect

so in texas or out of texas. so casey was quite precise in this, when it's talking about husbands and notification. you don't look to all the women who are getting abortions. you look only to the to the the women for whom this is a problem. and so the only women we would be looking at is not all of the women who are who live in austin or in dallas, but the women who have the problem, who don't live near a clinic. isn't that the clear message of casey and the husband notification -- : when a law is regulating women, as it would in the spousalnotification provision, that might be different. but when we're talking about doctor and clinic regulations, when the law is going to have a relevant effect, is going to be for every doctor and every clinic, which is precisely why the fifth circuit noted that that was the proper denominator, all women of texas reproductive age. and petitioners have not challenged that denominator holding in their opening brief. justice ginsburg: but this is about -- what it's about is that a w

texas is a litmus test for senator cruz. i think the three people left in the race beside trump, well actually carson is there too. but for kasich it is all about ohio. for ted cruz it is all about texas and for marco it is all about florida. those are litmus test, must win states for each of them. it is going to be very hard for them to continue making an argument that they should stay in if they can't win their home state. >> okay. so let's say they can't win their home states and trump just sweeps everything. so what's next for the republican party? >> well that is a very interesting question. you start by trying to identify who the party is. and when people say the establishment, it is really a network. a ratherly loosely affiliated network in some case of consultedn' consultedn'ts. party chairs. at the state level. everybody has to make their own decision. i've talked with a number of people who said they are basically going to sit on their hands. they can't risk having their down ticket, their local races tainted by or

texas is the biggest state heading to the polls today. how are the candidates tailoring their messages? rp >> reporter: here we're looking at a two-man competition when donald trump and ted cruz on the republican side. here on his home turf, cruz is hoping to tap into that tea party base. ted cruz has the endorsement of the current texas governor, and perhaps more importantly, the endorsement of rick perry, and he is attempting to steer his campaign back into the attack of the obama administration. that message has always resinated among texas conservatives, but will it continue to resinate and especially up against donald trump's campaign. trump brings a new energy to this state, judging by the size of his rallies and the chatter on the streets here in texas, trump is a great threat to ted cruz. >> all right. so both cruz and clinton are expected to win in texas. how close are they to meeting the expectations they have? >> reporter: sure, let's turn to the democrat side for a minute here. hillary clinton leading bernie sanders by 21 poin
