the aba tries to play it fairly. they will use outside interest groups to promote those things. >> is that the benchmark, the aba rating, is that the benchmark that everyone looks to? >> no, i think the benchmark is how they feel and what their opinion is after reviewing the entire record of the nominee. the members take it seriously. the supreme court is so important for the country and the american people. members taken very seriously. i don't think any of them was beholden to any sort of outside interest groups, whether partisan or non-partisan. they really wanted to look at and review the records themselves for their own purpose so they could make a candid assessment of the record and a good judgment of whether they believe the nominee is qualified. >> when these records are delivered to the staff, what is the staff looking for? >> you are looking for a couple of different things. obviously in today's world, we were the first nomination where you had access to the internet. it was widely used to research people.

national, legal and law enforcement groups have already endorsed her nomination including among them the aba giving her the highest rating of well qualified complimenting not only her intellect and rrd of deciding cases based upon the legal issues before her and following the law as it exists and that she has a healthy respect for the lented role of judges and the powers of lemming is lative and executive branches. and she has a healthy respect for the limited role of judges and the balance of pow er. the president of the fwra ternl order of police said she's mindful of the constitutional protections afforded to all u.s. citizens. a nominee's experience for a legal advocate for civil rights certainly must not be seen as a disqualifying criteria for confirmation but instead a hallmark of an individual's commitment to our founding principles of equality, justice and freedom. like ruth bader ginsberg's participation in the aclu women right's project or thurgood marshall's participation on behalf of the naacp legal defense and education fund, judge sotomayor's leadership role in the puerto rican

he said, she's not only qualified, she has the aba, ranking. why did you vote against?e with the fact that she's qualified and got a good academic background. in fact, you know, it was a tough vote for me, because this is the first time in 29 years that i voted against a republican or democrat nominee to the supreme court. but i did it this time, and so then to answer your question, because all of these good qualifications are very basic. but we want somebody on the supreme court that's going to interrupt law and not make law. and let me explain that it's my job to make law, because you can vote me out of office if you don't like the law that i make. but judges should be restricted to interpreting the law to the reason that they have a lifetime appointment. in other words, that means that she has to keep her personal biases out of it. and you have to realize, over the course of 15 years as a judge, she's made a lot of statements that have raised a lot of concerns about whether she can leave her personal views out of a case that she's got to decide. >> let me play a litt

>> actually, we've gone back to the witnesses, the aba there, senator whitehouse, sheldon whitehousechairing for he. we're going to take turns on these witnesses. you know, i was there for all of judge sotomayor's testimony, but on these panels of witnesses, we traditionally, most senators are not there. we have different senators take turns. >> well, when do we expect to hear from frank ricci and what do you think the impact of his personal story will be? >> i don't think it will affect the outcome at all in that case. it was very clear that judge sotomayor not only followed precedent, the district court below followed both second circuit and supreme court precedent. would people rather have had a different outcome? sure. i imagine most people would. and if the case would come up again now, there would be a different outcome, because the supreme court has changed their precedent. but a lot of judges agreed across the political spectrum agreed with judge sotomayor. i think she did what a judge is supposed to do. she followed precedent. >> from what we've seen, jeff sessions, your cou

particularly the issue you are addressing right now, is likely to be considered by the courts, the aba no judge should make comments on the merits of any pending or impending case. this clearly would be an impending case. >> okay. it's fair to say, though, in your own decision, you gave deference to congress, just like you answered my neutrality, the same thing, it's up to congress. it feels like this is very explicitly up to congress? >> i gave defrerence to the exat language that congress had used in the voting rights act and how it applied to a challenge in that case. >> okay. now, voting to overturn the federal legislation to me at least seems to be one definition of what people understand as judicial activism. i want to talk about some cases that i have seen that i think showed judicial activism functioning on a more pernicious level. first, let's take a look at a case called gross versus fbl financial services that the supreme court issued last month. are you familiar with that? >> i am. >> gross involved the age discrimination and employment act or adea. before gross, you could

and although justice alito reeved the aba highest rating and then senator obama filibustered the decision fact, senator obama never voted to confirm a supreme court justice. he even voted against the man who administered the oath of presidential office, chief justice john roberts, another distinguished and well-qualified nominee. now, if the compelling life story, academic, and personal excellence make a con vinesing confirmation case, estrata is a respected lawyer, one of the top supreme court prakt tigs ner in america. ones who today say these same factors should count in judge sotomayor's favor. now, whether i vote for or against judge sotomayor, it will be by applying the principles that i've laid out, not using such tactics used against the nominees in the past. judicial appointments have been extensive. some of the things said about judge sotomayor have been unfair. there are now newspaper reports that left-wing groups, the extreme left people for the american way are engaged in a smear campaign against the plaintiff in one of her more controversial cases, a man who will be testifyi

the aba has showed obvious support for sonia sotomayor.embers like the mayor here of new york giving testimony before the committee. >>> robbery, pure and simple, that's how the law in pensacola describes the killing of a wealthy couple with several special needs children. a short time ago, we have learned that police have recovered the safe stolen out of byrd and melanie billings home. several weapons are in the evidence room. one may be the murder weapon. eight people charge. more people of interest out there and the sheriff is making it clear to the best of his knowledge that federal drug agents on the case are not focused on the billings family but on the suspects. >>> the international space shuttle is preparing for a new group of visitors. the liftoff last night didn't come without problems. foam insulation came off the external fuel tank. it was hit several times and the damage looks to be less extensive than what happened on the last shuttle flight.

host: the aba? guest: they gave her their highest rating of highly qualified.n the question of reversals, as i see it her opinions have been reviewed 10 times and been upheld 1 time. i don't want to make too much of statistics, but that suggests that in some important cases her reasoning has been rejected. she has made a number of controversial statements and speeches. not just a particular passage about a wise latina, but the whole series of propositions in that speech that call into question the does our ability of in porsche ability as the judicial norm -- the impartiality as theorm. she celebrated in that same speech the fact that judges can develop novel approaches to take a lot in new directions. when you look at her various statements there is concern that she does not have a bounded view of the role of judging and they viewed as another form of policy-making. host: chicago, on the line for democrats. good morning. caller: i have to say that i used to have a lot of respect for the supreme court, but do not have any respect for the roberts court. if you l

national legal and law enforcement groups have already endorsed her nomination, including among them, the abating unanimously and giving her the highest rating of well qualified, complimenting not only her intellect but her mature legal mind and her record of deciding cases based on the precise facts and legal issues before her, also faithful in following the law as it exists. she has a healthy respect for the limited role of judges and the balance of powers for the executive and legislative branches. the president of the fraternal order of police also stated she's a model jurist, tough, fair-minded and mindful of the constitutional protections afforded to all u.s. citizens. a nominee's experience as a legal advocate for civil rights certainly must not be seen as a disqualifying criteria for confirmation but instead, as the hallmark of an individual's commitment to our founding principles of equality, justice and freedom. like ruth bader ginsburg, participation in an aclu project or justice marshall's participation on behalf of the legal education and defense fund, judge sotomayor's participa

if a compelling life story, academic and professional excellence in a top aba rating make a convincing confirmation case mckeel a straw that would be a u.s. circuit judge today. he is a brilliant come universally respected lawyer, one of the top supreme court practitioners in america but he was fiercely opposed by groups and repeatedly filibustered by democrats senators, the ones who today say the same factors should count in judge sotomayor's favor. whether eidbo four against judge sotomayor it will be by applying the principles i have laid out. judicial appointments have become increasingly contentious. some of the things that have been said about judge sotomayor have been intemperate and unfair. there are no newspaper reports of left-wing groups specifically the extreme left people for the american way are engaged in a smear campaign against the plaintiff and one for more controversial cases. the men who will be testifying here later in the week. if that is true, and i hope it is not, it is beneath both content and the dignity that this process or cummins but there must be a vigorou

that experience that you look for in choosing a judge, whether it's the aba rule that says the judgeas to be >> it's the experience that your committee looks for in terms of what is the background of the judge? have they undertaken serious consideration of constitutional questions? all of those experiences are valued because your system is enriched by a variety of experiences. and i don't think that anybody quarrels with the fact that diversity on the bench is good for america. it's good for america because we are the land of opportunity. and to the extent that we are pursuing and showing that all groups can be lawyers and judges, that is just reflecting the values of our society. >> if i can't interrupt you right now, that is the key. it is good because it shows these young people you are talking to, that with a little hard work, it doesn't matter where you come from, you can make it. and that is why you hope to see them on the bench. i totally appreciate that. the question, though, is whether you leave them with the impression whether it is good to make different decisions because
