The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up - the murder of Dr. George Tiller shocked both sides of the abortion
debate this weekend. We'll talk to William Saletan, author of "Bearing Right:
How Conservatives Won The Abortion War," and Washington Post Health Policy
reporter Ceci Connolly to get the facts about his career and the circumstances
surrounding his death.

Next up - General Meltdown! With GM's declaration of bankruptcy today, we're
wondering if the economic woes of the once largest corporation in the world
reveal greater problems concerning U.S. solvency as a whole. We'll ask the
Interim Chairman of GM Kent Kresa and Los Angeles Times auto critic Dan Neil to
analyze the fallout.

Next up - Senate Shakeup? Rep. Joe Sestak's (D-PA) announced last week that he
would not be stopped in his pursuit of a Senate seat in the Keystone State,
despite the President's backing of newly-minted Democrat Sen. Arlen Specter
(D-PA). Will he run? The Congressman will appear on Hardball tonight to talk
about his intentions for 2010.

And finally, in the Politics Fix, we'll ask MSNBC Political Analyst Howard
Fineman and Eugene Robinson to weigh in on the opening arguments that were made
today before the Minnesota Supreme Court in the recount case surrounding the
disputed election between Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman and Al Franken.
