a well-known author wrote "being nixon" and he is working on a biography of sandra day o'connor. he wrote of barbara's old story, the women lawyers, barbara cap -- babcock has led the way by being smarter and tougher than men. also, more empathetic and self aware, funny and shrewd. her memoir "fish raincoats" is a joy to read. barbara has followed the council of u.s. supreme court justice william patterson. who served from 1793-1806. patterson said "laugh where we can is one of the best maximums to pass through life with ease and comfort." please join me now in a hardy welcome to barbara babcock. [applause] professor babcock: thank you, having had that from a supreme court justice that you really admire. [applause] i, like many of the people in this room tonight, feel that i have traveled with ruth ginsburg on some little part of her improbable journey to iconic fame. i also feel that we have participated together in a great revolution in the legal profession. most people, even many of our lawyer colleagues, are unaware of the scope and how much things have changed, and the vast

the other question about, what , i will quote what sandra day o'connor said about that. said, "get out there and make a good show. the more women are out there doing things, the more women will believe that they can do things." that would be my answer to your second question. [applause] >> thank you, justice ginsburg and professor babcock. i am to your left. for all of your inspiration, i have your first book, professor babcock. i got it when you were at the national association of women lawyers meeting many years ago in california. i'm looking forward to reading the second one. i'm going to follow up on the last question, and something that professor babcock said earlier. this association, the american bar association, numerous women lawyer groups have studied why women are leaving the legal profession early on and later in their careers. also, produced surveys showing the stagnation of women once they get into partnership ranks, not moving up into leadership roles. interestingly, in this city, and slowly across the country, a lot of judges are responding to this by inc

there was some who noted that those who know sandra day o'connor might bristle a that the idea. would you agree the court still lacks a true or lacks having a true conservative woman? that the next nominee would fit that bill? >> i'm so fortunate to have worked for justice o'connor, who was active in republican politics and served as a state court judge before she ascended to the supreme court. my sense is that any justice on the supreme court, take some time to figure out what their judicial philosophy is and how that works on an institution with nine members. so justice o'connor found her own path, and i'm confident that judge barrett, if she were nominated and confirmed, would also find her own path. >> jennifer mason mcaward, thanks for much for taking the time. >> thank you. >>> coming up next, an elusive ally of paul manafort's believed to have close ties with russian intelligence reportedly had a much bigger role in the manafort company than previously believed. we're going to have the details. >>> plus, president trump is escalating his attacks on congresswoman maxine wa

the plurality opinion written by justice o'connor does not even in gauge in these historical -- engage in these historical arguments. prompted me to write the book, to tell more of this history, to uncover more of the stories, to highlight just how well entrenched this framework >> we have a couple of audience questions. prisonerssk about the down in guantanamo bay. can you discuss the extension of habeas corpus to them? more difficult and complicated questions have continued to arise as the war on terror has unfolded. what is theone is role of the article three federal courts. this is a hard question. if you want to look to history, most people doing constitutional law start with history and the question is where did they go from there. if you want to look to history, there aren't great analogies to be drawn between those at guantanamo bay and classic war models. there were clear lines of division between american prisoners who were traitors and could claim the protection of english law, what ever those protections were, but for the captured,en they were they were prisoners of war gov

it was a big deal when sandra day o'connor was appointed to the court 37 years ago. yet, though he weighed the still the law of the land. it is pretty clear that justices have a way of surprising us. could've predicted the justice scalia would strike down a ban on flagburning? it's a fools errand then to try to predict our justice our rule on some hypothetical future case. this regular uproar about road the wade show the difference between how many democrats and republicans view the courts. liberal outside groups and many democrats have a litmus test. they seem to be results oriented and focusing on policy outcomes of judicial decisions. they expect and even demand their judges to rule in favor of their preferred policies. liberal outside groups and their allies just simply want judges to be politicians hiding under their robes. that is why senate democrats were so blamed in changing senate rules so that they could stack the dc circuit court of appeals. former democrat leader harry reid made no bones about making sure there were enough dc circuit judges to protect ob

and o'connor talked about her ranch life and growing up on the ranch impacted her when she went to the united states supreme court. he was the first female ever appointed to the court, being appointed by president ronald reagan. broke almost a 200-year all-male supreme court, when she was appointed. then, of course -- i'm sorry, confirmed. now, when this happened, this was 1981. so it wasn't without some controversy. at that time, women's roles were changing a bit, and not everyone was on board. there were some political cartoonists that took a look at what culture and pop culture was saying about this. of course, you had some very conservative, religious groups that thought that a female should not be serving in this capacity. but then others, like one of the cartoons that we have here from 1981, thought it was really great and highlighted this is no long ear boy's club. so some of the artifacts we talk about, we've got her -- this is a copy of her letter, her letter of nomination. and then, of course, as you would expect, she made "time" magazine and then also "people" magazine. we a

sandra day o'connor was on the french appointed by ronald reagan.he president, of course, looking at about a half dozen or show finalists. we believe two of them are women. the white house is saying the president is not specifically asking candidates about spink cases like roe v. wade or other hot button issues. one of the reasons, of course, they do not want to make the confirmation process any more difficult but the reality is, all of the finalists on the list, the list of 25 people or so, have been vetted and have the stamp of approval from the federalist society. that's the group here in washington, all of them suitable to conservatives. the question is, are they suitable to more moderates. senator susan collins of maine, senator lisa murkowski of alaska are two that support the abortion rights. i'm told that the president is intrigued at picking a woman. he believes that is what is the answer to what conservatives are calling it the year of the woman. >> with amy conybeare eey barree list. the bottom line, judge barrett has given every indicati

so almost a uniform solution was to take those cases out and call it procedure and renquist and o'connor had never heard of that. thinking is sometimes affected by the courses you had in law school. thought of every case as an exercise in federalism. hould we extend the federal power to this issue in the state courts. we think of criminal procedure whole.nified so that's how that came about. taught for, i don't 1988 night law school. i mentioned we know that you had -- you spent some time in the oil fields i the oil fields i a stint in the army and know you have a very fondness use this m going to phrase for the working man but the working individual and the struggles that they go through. tell us if there is something, one thing -- > there's a lot of wisdom in the working man. the working woman. >> does that inform your experiences? >> well, it makes you realize that behind the cases, there's person.a real that's the whole idea, meaning of the law. ut my uncle was in the oil business. he was a bachelor. he was lonely. him in would go with the summer. i think i started with when i for 4

piggy backing off commissioner covington, just for point of information, myself retired officer, tom o'connorthe three individuals that were honored by being named on mayor's transition policy team. as commissioner covington indicated there were many different identifications. what was interesting about that summit on the -- former president andrea evans was part of that transition committee. it was wonderful it see different segments of san francisco that came together. we had 24 members. of the members were only three that are fire. how that was conducted by two cultures, over two conference calls. if you can imagine, a concentrate cal--conference cal4 different individuals stating their point of view. the rest were consumers as well as different representatives from the san francisco police department. i applaud the pair for organizing this concept of transitions because in terms of our on ours. many have been part of transition teams. mayor breed was trying to figure those areas. for fire we were able it use the resources in the department and some of the members of the command force and

davidaid that about souter and sandra day o'connor and anthony kennedy and those three justices got on the court and they formed the plurality that end up voting to affirm roe v. wade. that they always say this to propose a republican nominee and often it doesn't reflect reality. think that folks often remain open-minded about brett kavanaugh. they have to see that he is an official. he is a leader in the judiciary and a good human being. i hope that folks keep an open mind. i host: this is joe from new jersey. good morning. is an important season for voting. it is important for democrats to be engaged. as far as women's issues, i don't believe that i should be engaged in women's issues because i'm not a woman. and i don't think it's my what they should do. they should be educated to make their own decisions. we don't have to make a decision for a woman. menendez, think about the election. host: thank you. guest: 1, i think this is an issue that impacts everyone and should impact everyone. as the father of six children and married to the most incredible woman i've ever known, childbear

rehnquist and o'connor had never heard of criminal procedure. the thinking is sometimes affected by courses you had in law school. they thought of every case as a case of exercising federalism. should we extend the federal power to the state courts? in a more modern era, we think of unified seizure as a -- unified procedure as a whole. aught for 1965 to 1988, night law school. timeaught for 1965 know you spe fields, working in the oil fields, working in the oil fields, a stint in the army. i know you have a very fondness individualworking and the struggles they go through. could you tell us what, if there is something? justice kennedy: well, there is a lot of wisdom in the working man and working woman. >> dollars that inform your jurisprudence? justice kennedy: it makes you realize there is a person be hind the whole idea of the law. my father was in the oil business. he was lonely. i went within in the summer. -- with him in the summer. in the oil fields, they had what they called a dog house, a tool shed. they wanted me to nail the siding on.

going back to the 1980's, justice o'connor, people were worried this was the vote that was going to overturn roe versus wade. justice kennedy. justice souter. so i think speculating on what anyone would do is very difficult. one that merrick is people seem to think is more out there than others, but when i have looked at it, even watching a recent video, she says this is not the way to look at a judge at all. judges are not going in there, here is a case i want to overturn, here is how i am doing it. they look at the law, look at the facts of the case, and text oft based on the the law and the text of the constitution. any of the top three we are looking at is going to do that, and things that senators murkowski and collins have said is their number one thing. yes, they are concerned about roe versus wade and the president but the biggest priority is having someone that will abide by the constitution, and that is what we have seen in all of these candidates. host: we heard from senator collins the roe versus wade will be a decisive factor for her? carrie: sure. that is totally understandable

this was one of the worst decisions ever because of the warren court anthony kennedy sandra day o'connor were adamant in maintaining role and reagan said i don't understand this so the idea that you know what some judge is going.

this was one of the worst decisions ever because of the warren court anthony kennedy sandra day o'connor were adamant in maintaining role and reagan said i don't understand this so the idea that you know what some judge is going to do if and when they are presented with this by the way gun laws like justice thomas says or an orphan issue you're not going to be hearing about second amendment if you you know i could be hearing about roe you're going to be hearing about regulation you're going to be hearing about business you're going to be hearing about that which they're going to say. fortifies covers cost protection but doesn't impede free free enterprise that's what you should be watching for a very somber and interesting fact we appreciate you didn't get into this line of why no media counselor thank you for your time thank you sir that. time now for a quick break but stick around because when return we'll be joined by chris martenson. founder of prosperity dot com to discuss the circumstances and potential for dire consequences regarding iran and their continued ability to export oil

if you look back at sandra day o'connor, she saw her legacy cut back a great deal, and you wonder if it could be anthony kennedy next year. it will be fascinating to get his perspective on that. >> i would not be surprised to see affirmative-action overturned by a new course. it is sort of hanging barely there anyway. justice kennedy's embrace of the university of texas plan was so limited, i don't think a conservative majority would have qualms about overturning that. >> you look back at justice o'connor's opinion in the michigan affirmative action case a 25he essentially spent year lifespan for that, and that was in 2003, 15 years ago. >> [indiscernible] -- the new swing vote, with , doice kennedy's retirement you think he might moderate over the years? >> does the panel think chief justice roberts might moderate his views in order to avoid, to bolster the courts institutional reputation? i'm not sure that is a great summary, but it will do. >> you are quite right, he is an institutionalist, he cares about the authority of the court. he is also an incrementalist, he takes things on

justice o'connor was the vote they were worried would overturn roe v. wade, justice kennedy, justice souter. all three voted to uphold roe v. so speculating what anyone would do is very difficult. is one people think has more out there than others. i was watching a recent video. she said this is not the way to look at a judge at all. judges are not saying here is a case i want to overturn. they are supposed to be looking at the law, the facts of the case, and decide based on the text of the law and text of the constitution. any of these top three we are looking at is going to do that. day, senatorsthe have said it is the number one thing. yes, they are concerned about , but. wade as a precedent the biggest concern is someone faithful to the law, by by the constitution. steve: we heard from senator collins that roe v. wade will be a decisive factor for her? carrie: that is totally understandable. it is difficult to predict what any of them would do. something the president can or should ask. perhaps they will ask it during the confirmation hearing. in ac

it was an issue with sandra o'connor, david souter, annhony key, all of whom people would set would overturn wright. nobody is pretty g speculating about these things. i don't think athe end of the day it's about roe v. wade. it's about having judges on the interpret tng to constitution the way it's written and part of interpreting the constitution is taking into account precedents, and that's going hr happen. >> c: as you well know, sometimes justices adhere to presidents and sometimes they overturnhem. >> mr. leo: aolutely but jor precedents of the court require a lot of attention and respect and scrutiny and we've seen there's only on justice out of 9 over a period of 36 years who is saying that h o would explicverturn it. >> chris: that's clarence thas. this doe figure into the confirmation battle because seven the much gnomic republican majority in the te and the fact that there is no longer a filibuster, one othe few ways that a trump nominee cou fail to be confirmed is if g you one ofhe two -- here they are on the screen, if you lose one of the two republican senators, susan collins o
