Senators Schumer & Flake on Immigration, Guns
Sunday, we’ll talk with two influential members of the Gang of 8, a bipartisan group of Senators working to reform the country’s immigration system. Is the group the best hope for reaching a consensus in Congress? We’ll discuss with Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sen. Jeff Flake on Sunday as well as the debate over same-sex marriage and gun control.
Guns & Immigration take Center Stage
An impassioned plea from President Obama this week set the stage as he hopes to regain momentum on gun control legislation in Congress next month. But what is likely to pass Congress? Did Washington miss the chance to pass legislation following the tragedy in Newtown? Plus, both sides seem to be willing to work together on comprehensive immigration reform, but can it get done this year? Our roundtable weighs in: former top adviser to President Obama, David Axelrod Former Rep. Tom Davis the Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson and the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan
In addition, a panel including Rob Reiner, the actor and director who is a critic of California’s same-sex marriage ban and attended last week’s Supreme Court arguments, and Brian S. Brown president of the National Organization for Marriage, will weigh in on the decisions now up to the court.

We'll also have Mariann Budde who is the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. Our subject this week is going to be on religion in America. Focusing on the question "where is it now?" There are not as many people who say they belong to churches compared to years ago. People now select "none" when they fill in forms about religious affiliation.
