With the US incarcerating more people than any other nation, will other states face similar orders? Even many conservatives say we can’t afford more prisons. Also, some portions of the Patriot Act are scheduled to expire at midnight tonight, and Majority Leader Harry Reid told the Senate it’s time for a vote to renew them. Lastly on Reporter's Notebook, former General Ratko Mladic has been arrested by Serbia, charged with killing 7500 people in the Bosnian city of Srebrenica in 1995.
