FUND: Regardless of how this ends up, Congress has the right to dictate to the courts what their jurisdiction is. And that‘s what they went and did.

Let‘s talk possibly, John, about overkill here. The lawyers for the parents have said, if their daughter dies, there will be a damnation of her soul. This is overkill.

FUND: Chris, one of the worst things that‘s happened in this...

MATTHEWS: These are Roman Catholics saying that their daughter will be punished in hell because of the way this case is coming down. I have never heard theology like that. I have no idea where it is coming from. But it smacks me as overkill. And I don‘t think it is going to help the parents‘ case.

And not to be nit picky .. but this is an example of why I can't stand Chris ... he didn't even let John Fund respond
MATTHEWS: No, I want your response.
FUND: Chris, one of the worst things that‘s happened is...
