Excerpt
SUMMARY: Syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks join Judy Woodruff to discuss the week's top political news, including outcomes of the shutdown fight for the Republican party and the president, the outlook for the online insurance exchanges, plus remembrances of former House Speaker Tom Foley.
MARK SHIELDS, syndicated columnist: Tom Foley, I heard him say time and again, you are the speaker of the House. There were only two -- he was a great historian, scholar. He said, there are only two offices that are defined in the Constitution, the president of the United States and the speaker of the House.
And he said, you're not speaker of a party.
