7:06 am
discourse. >> reporter: now, after this contentious vote, one congressman representative, al green of texas, took things further introducing articles of impeachment against the president. now, despite the fact that democratic leaders are opposed to this move, it could force them to take up the issue, george, some time in the coming days. >> yeah, and that's not something nancy pelosi wants. let's bring in jon karl for more on this. the battle lines for 2020 clearly getting drawn here right now. the president clearly wants that squad of four democratic congresswomen to be the face of the democratic party. >> reporter: george, he has been explicit about them. these four democrats represent the progressive left of the party. he wants to basically turn them into his opposition for 2020. just look at his tweet yesterday where he said nancy pelosi tried to push them away but now they are forever wedded to the democratic party. see you in 2020. so in a way, this is working. the party is rallying around those four and the attacks -- in the wake of the attacks from the president, but there is a real risk for the president, because
7:07 am
his highest approval ratings are on the handling of the economy. he could be running a presidential re-election campaign based on that age-old question. are you better off today than you were four years ago? but instead, he's telegraphing an election based on fear, division, racial resentment that will alienate a lot of people that frankly are better off or feel better off than four years ago and, by the way, it's also a strategy that basically failed in the 2018 midterms. >> yeah, you saw minorities and women come out in record numbers in 2018, young people as well, but there are risks for the democrats here, as well. a lot of the successful democrats in 2018, moderates who emphasized bread and butter issues like health care. >> reporter: absolutely. these four particularly alexandria ocasio-cortez are the most famous democrat freshmen democr llhan the part presidential candidates, but they are not particularly popular. in some cases very unpopular in

7:09 am
times were different. stevens was confirmed by the senate 98-0. can't imagine that kind of bipartisanship today. he was the third longest serving justice in our history, 35 years, up until 11 days before his 90th birthday in 2010 replaced by elena kagan. in a statement for the court chief justice roberts says, the retired justice brought to our bench an inimitable blend of kindness, humility, wisdom and independence. when he got to the high courts, stevens sided with conservatives. by the time he left, he was considered a liberal firebrand. he was a world war ii veteran, he passionately opposed the idea that the first amendment protects flag burning and early on found the death penalty constitutional. but he did change his mind on that, siding with liberal justices concluding that capital punishment is unconstitutional. stevens spoke about his decision in a 2014 interview with george stephanopoulos. >> you would define it basically as cruel and unusual punishment.
7:10 am
>> yes, i would think the sooner we get rid of the death penalty, the better it would be. >> reporter: he also became a reliably liberal vote on abortion, education and the separation of church and state. he was fierce in dissent, never more than in a scathing dissent in bush versus gore in 2000. writing that he feared the decision in that to stop the florida recount would undermine the nation's confidence in the courts, an opinion he never let go of, writing in his memoir that came out earlier this year, i remain of the view that the court has not fully recovered from the damage it inflicted on itself. and overnight the tributes are pouring in. the president and first lady sending their condolences in this statement adding the retired justice was known for his humility, legal acumen and affection for his beloved chicago cubs. his work over the course of nearly 35 years on the supreme court will continue to shape the legal framework of our nation for years to come. the chicago cubs posting to

twitter honoring the chicago native and cubs fan. >> is there one decision you're most proud of? >> i really don't know the answer because there are a lot of them that i am quite proud of, and there are others i'm sure i could have done better on. all i can say is i did the best i could. >> reporter: stevens was a man from another time. as a boy he met amelia earhart and saw babe ruth call his shot in the 1932 world series against the cubs. he was really a man who was much beloved by his colleagues, and he will be missed up here, robin. >> such humility. wow, i mean, he led such a full life and was even active after retirement, terry. >> reporter: he really was. it was remarkable. he was playing doubles tennis up until a couple of years ago hiring clerks every year. through his 100th year he won't be able to do that, but he also wrote a memoir this year and remained active publicly calling for the repeal of the second amendment, and criticizing president trump. he never stopped right up until the end. >> all right, terry, thank you
7:12 am
so much. >> robin, you mentioned the justice's humility. he was a humble man, but in that question he was responding to a letter that gerald r. ford who appointed him wrote said, i'm prepared to allow his tremendous judgment to rest if necessary exclusively on my nomination 30 years ago of justice john paul stevens to the supreme court. >> wow. >> he was so proud of that. >> rightfully so. great. >> thanks, george. now to the latest on the turmoil in puerto rico with more protests expected today. a popular cruise ship is now canceling its stop there. this as calls grow now for the governor to resign, but he is refusing to step down. abc's victor oquendo has the very latest. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, amy. despite those fiery protests in front of the governor's mansion for days now, embattled governor ricardo rossello, refusing to step down saying he hasn't committed any illegal or corrupt acts but acknowledges he has committed an improper act. all this unrest comes after hundreds of pages of a group
