[0:34] correspondent Bob Schiffer. And now from

[0:43] >> Welcome. Joining us here first today is
[0:45] Lonnie Guineer, professor of law at the
[0:47] University of Pennsylvania. Welcome,
[0:49] Professor Gwineer. You just returned
[0:51] from a vacation on Martha's Vineyard
[0:53] where the president was also
[0:54] vacationing. Up until a couple of days
[0:56] ago, he had made no attempt to contact
[0:58] you and there were people talking about
[1:00] that. Did he ever call?
[1:01] >> No.
[1:02] >> Do you regard that as a snub? Uh an
[1:04] attempt to distance himself from some of
[1:06] the controversial positions that you've
[1:08] represented.
[1:10] >> I don't think that the president's
[1:14] social calendar while he's on vacation
[1:16] is the most important issue for either
[1:21] him or me. I think what um I'd like to
[1:24] talk about is the president's civil
[1:27] rights policy and the civil rights
[1:28] agenda for the future.
[1:30] >> Uh and we'll get to that. But in
[1:32] connection with your own uh case, your
[1:34] own nomination, having had a chance to
[1:37] think about this some what does the uh
[1:40] way you your nomination was handled,
[1:42] what does it tell us, do you think,
[1:43] about Bill Clinton as a leader?
[1:47] Well
