and by watching perry mason shortly after that information came to me i figured out that half a show involved investigation of the crime and the other half, his work in the courtroom, to prove the guilty party guilty. the guilty witness guilty. now that's never happened in real life to me and it's never happened in any transcript i've ever seen that a defense lawyer breaks down someone to confess. but it wasn't that that motivated my desire to be a lawyer. it was the investigative part of it. it gave me a way to accomplish the that childhood desire to be nancy drew. the idea, though, stuck and it stuck as i proceeded to sort of start thinking about educating myself in public speaking, in debate, in student government. all of those activities reinforced for me that i might make a good lawyer. but i think in the end what convinced me to be a lawyer the most was understanding that it was -- law was a way to help people structure their relationships. >> rose: which is why we need rules and regulations and law. >> i talk about the importance of "lord of the flies" in my life. >> rose: tel

mason moments it really everyone they looked at each other did he really just say that to you just say it's a phenomenon that is called perpetual perpetuation of racial entitlement he would refer to folks he'd read it somewhere and he'd earlier said that the court doesn't like to get into racial cases which i find incredible to hear scalia say that because i also love looked at fisher of the university of texas just this term which he's speaking about he has is he's got to be speaking for himself and the court has certainly gotten from the dred scott for what our state court is i mean it's got for you i mean you can go before you're going to go all right i got you going to john adams and and and the various cases be argued i mean this is the most absurd thing that we've ever heard but you know this this this. this pre-clearance provision is extremely important and all one has to do you don't even as speaker after speaker said in the route that you don't have to go back to forty eight years you can go back to just last year with the efforts to suppress the vote in so many different stat

but i don't think there's going to be a perry mason moment, where she's going to suddenly -- >> desolve into tears. >> she's got at this. >> what do you think has been the biggest victory for the prosecution? >> the biggest hindrance to the prosecution? >> victory for the prosecution, in terms of their cross-examination of her? >> i think the biggest victory for the prosecution has largely been brought on by arias herself, when she gives a scenario about what happened. she claims that in less than two minutes, she has a confrontation with the murder victim. she's taking naked photos of him in the shower, sexy photos. she runs into the closet. climbs a ladder, turns around. he hits a wall. she stabbed him 29 times. drags his body back. puts it into the shower. washes him off. all this happens in two minutes. impossible. >> the implausibility of the story. >> she's saying horrible things about him that she never said before. that's the big problem. >> that he abused her. >> they're bringing up her old diaries. but i've never seen testimony as graphic as the testimony in this case. >> it's
