we then went and saw casey. whenever you're in a death penalty case, you must, under your professional obligations, one, convey the plea to your client and, two, pursue a resolution. so it's not a situation where we felt in any way that she was guilty or she was going to lose the case. it was really more of us exercising our professional responsibility. behind the defense table there's a door where she comes in and out of and right behind that door is a small little holding cell and we're all tightly squeezed in this room and we start talking to her and we say, listen, we have been offered a plea to count three and casey was, no, stop right there. i'm not interested. i said, casey, you have to hear me out. i have to tell you what the offer is and you must consider it. we then told her what the offer was. she said, okay, i've considered it. the answer is no. and she said, listen, i'm innocent. i'm not going to plead guilty to something i didn't do and that is the end of it. to this day, when i think back about th

joining us from capitol hill, democratic senator bob casey of pennsylvania. good to see you, senator. good morning. >> thanks, chris. >> you have said in the past you're for filibuster reform. what's going on happen here? >> we don't know for sure, but i think it's the time now to consider a rules change which is limited in nature. what we're dealing with here is not the larger question of whether the rights of a minority in this case, the republicans in the senate would be -- would be degraded. what we're talking about here is a very limited change for cabinet nominees, for judges and those instances where it's very clear. the record is abundantly clear that republicans are using pure obstruction. they're not saying this candidate for the district of columbia circuit is unqualified or this nominee for a cabinet. it's pure obstruction, so i think zee to move forward with the rules change, and i hope that we would get support on both sides of this. >> is that a yes for the nuclear option on your part? >> oh, sure. if there is a vote where there would be a rule

. >>> and now libby casey joins me for more reaction from washington. this 6-month deal is essentially a chance for iran to prove itself. what are world leaders hoping rain will do in the initial step. >> president obama says it will help iran prove that it is only using nuclear power for peaceful reasons. this is an opportunity, the president says, for them to make good on that, and help prevent iran from building a nuclear weapon. all the steps outlined by phil ittner are important. they'll lead to the ability for the international community to watch iran more closely and it would be impossible for rain to build a nuclear weapon below the radar, if all the steps are followed. the inspections are a key part. six months is the time line and if everything goes it will be an opportunity to move forward on a deal that could go further. >> what happens if iran doesn't lie up to these commitments? >> there's a rolling back or minimising of sanctions, $6 billion to $7 billion. they'll be out the window and boosted. that's what the u.s. is threatening. preside

so that's really important. >> let me ask lee casey for a response. >> well, i think maybe that's the answer. they were not acting as clinicians. they were acting effectively as i suppose you could say consultantses to the government to help them design interrogation strategies that would be effective with particular individuals. >> what do you see as the role of medical personnel in situations like this? >> well, i think there are two roles. first of all, obviously, the united states has a number of people in custody. that means we have an obligation to those people to take care of their health, their basic well-being, and that involves obviously medical care. in addition, of course, when you're putting together an interrogation strategy or assessing a particular individual, the assistance of psychological professionals, psychiatrists and psychologists would be invaluable and it may not have been done before. but then this is the kind of war we've never really fought before. >> well, that's-- does that fit your definition of the role of medical person snell. >> no, it doesn't. and mo

libby casey is in washington, and this time in the senate, that's supposed to be safe territory for the democrats but that was not the case today. >> reporter: that's right. chaired by senator mike bacchus of montana, he is the chief author of the affordable care act but he warned that the it's implementation was not handled correctly the law could turn into a train wreck, so he brought a stern set of words to her and was anticipated that the administration is not anticipating that the website would be so problematic, and called it inexcusable. now secretary i sebelius said ts has been a miserable five weeks since healthcare.gov launched, and we're hearing the same conversations that we've heard on capitol hill, but she's pushing back against a republican drum beat to delay the law itself. >> how some have asked why not delay implementation of the new law until all of the problems are fixed? and there is a pretty straightforward answer. delaying the affordable care act wouldn't delay people's cancer or diabetes or parkinson's or need for screenings or prenatal care. it does not delay fo

we want to get more on this from casey hunt from nbc news. i guess, first of all, if the site works great in a month, will this go away or now is this taking on a life of its own? >> well, it could, but the administration isn't even at this point promising that it will be done. that's what they have said, but girls testifying up on capitol hill yesterday wouldn't commit to meeting that deadline that they have set for themselves. and at a certain point you start to get into a place where it's not actually mixable, the numbers just don't add up. the risk pools they're trying to build to make the whole plan work would fall apart and right now we have no indication that the website is on its way to be able to ham the capacity that it will need to be able to handle. >> so the key yes, are democrats starting to bail on this. >> we're starting to see early signs of that. and senator jeff merkley, who is not exactly a red state democrat from oregon, signed on to this plan that mary landrieu has been pushing that would essentially try to keep the prom

i will let libby casey who has been up on the hill following this give you the details. but basically where you stand -- that classic phrase none truer what we are talking about today. what is senate has done is changed the rules the threshold that 60 vote threshold, of course there are 100 senators in the united states senate. for judicial nominees and cabinets with the exclusion of supreme court nominees. that will stilt require 60. that still remains in place. of course president obama -- you heard him site many of the statistics how this practice of filibustering and blocking his nominees has accelerated over his time. he named chuck hagel as the poster child, really, for cabinet nominees being blocked after all the first defense secretary to be filibusters and after all he was a republican. it bears in mind, -- at various times depending on if you are the minority side or the majority side, mitch mcconnell and harry reid, the minority and majority leaders have switched positions whether depending on whether they are controlling the senate or not, and as a matter of

libby casey is in washington on capitol hill. libby, why are senators divided over this bill. >> reporter: many senators agree the problem of sexual assault cases is an intense issue and one that really follows along a very important line. the chain of command in the military is an essential way that things are done. but if you're a victim of sexual assault or accused of sexual assault it's your commander who deals with the case. some members of the senate believes it should be taken outside of that complain of command. one is senator gillibrand, sponsor of this amendment. so far she has 50 senators on board. some conservative republicans, some democrats, here is senator gillibrand talking about one young woman who came all the way to washington from colorado to share her story this week. >> sarah's story is disturbing. she was raped as a young marine in 2003. she said i knew the military was notorious for mishandling rape cases so i didn't dare think anything good could come from reporting the rape. having to report to your chai
