what do you know about ruth bader ginsburg 's first days? >> guest: we heard earlier michele obama reached out to get data on being a good first lady. there is a lot of stuff that is oral tradition and you have to learn it from somebody and sandra day o'connor taught a lot of to ruth bader ginsburg. she went to her chambers and explained how to do the lighting so it would be a softer and more pleasant environment to work in. and the etiquette of arguments. there were many unspoken ways in which o'connor helped ginsburg to be a success because o'connor wanted ginsburg to be a success. >> guest: is ruth bader ginsburg going to miss her buddy? >> guest: she misses her so much. someone asked gins how sneelt in 2006 and she said lonely. she really missed sandra day o'connor in a thousand ways. here is a really cool way o'connor was of enormous value to ginsburg. she was senior by the time that -- by the end of her term she was very seen knior and the think in order of seniority. so by 1993 when ginsburg came on, o'connor was very senior. she spok

when ruth bader ginsburg died -- died. when ruth pater ginsburg graduated from high school her mother date -- died the day before. he she found out even in those lean times of the depression, her mother had set aside money for her to go to cornell. i believe, inferring from those facts, that her mother placed all her own ambitions as immigrants often do, and beautiful musical child. >> with michelle obama, she grew up with electricity and water. chicago had those things. she grew up in a bungalow and said all that i am now happened in the four walls of this house, apartment above the house, and if you said it was more than 1100 ft. i would say i was lying. michelle's heroes, people they could touch, they were not astronauts or singers or performers of any kind, people she knew in the neighborhood, people whose stories she heard at home, parents and grandparents, they came north in the great migration and found a time in chicago, it wasn't very easy for many people but in particular her paternal grandfather came from georget

ruth bader ginsburg is different from the obama's. she isy a true liberal. she was taught by robert cushman, a liberal a liberal from cornell in the 1950s. she has a well worked out liberal jurors philosophy which is that america is the story of increasing inclusiveness and that it started with a bunch oft rich, old white men, some of them slaveowners in the 18th century. the great story of america, to ginsburg america, to ginsburg is the story of how that experiment widened, and widened to let in white men whoe do not own property, to lead and black men, to lead in women, to the equal protection and she was the author of that movement. and to admit gays and lesbians to full citizenship just recently. so she would be, she said you could not now appointed justice to the supreme court like me.l d she is a clear, coherent, jurisprudential liberal. if i could have one wish it would be that someone could appoint a justice like ruth bader ginsburg. [applause]. >> i would like to shift gears and talk about the research project and the research process for your book

ruth bader ginsburg was really with friends with scalia. and sandra day o'connor was really friends with lois powell and she and john and loi circumstanceslois went on vacation together. it was clear from their demeanor they had an affectionate alliance. >> host: what was their first meeting like? >> guest: i will say in 1981 when sandra day o'connor was approve pointed to the supreme court ruth bader ginsburg wasn't in washington. she heard about it on the radio and didn't know o'connor well. o'connor was a judge and ginsburg didn't know here but said she was glad to hear it. we know they met before 1983 because when o'connor got on the supreme court she inherited potter stewart lawfirm and that firm had clerks for ginsburg. >> host: what about at the supreme court? what do you know about that? >> well, you know, we heard earlier that michele obama reached out to the other first ladies for information. there is a lot of tipping stepping points with the oral tradition. and the etiquette argument, there are many unspoken ways in which o'conn

ginsburg nail arch and ruth bader ginsburg rap videos and ruth bader ginsburg halloween costumes, ruth bader ginsburg tattoos which she does not like, she told me. i think that all happened just as everyone was telling her it's time to go and it was not coordinated that i think that young woman saw an old woman being pushed off the stage. an older woman being told we don't need you anymore and i'm not saying there were good reasons for her to make sure her 40 years there will be another liberal judge in that seat but i don't think it's a coincidence and i think the fact that our society is now venerating a woman whose 2 old is something incredible and a moment to stop and reflect on how older women are so invisible in our society and so used to being told it's time for you to move on because it's someone else's turn. >> host: okay. [applause] before we go to questions, i hope this isn't a sexist horrible thing but, no i'm serious. i don't want to talk too much about marty and not enough about ruth but there's an extraordinary document in your book which i have marked that marty was dyi

when ruth bader ginsburg died -- when she graduated from high school her mother died the day before ruth bader ginsburg graduated from high school and she found out even in those lean times of the depression her mother had set aside money for her to go to cornell. so i believe, in stirring from those facts, that her mother placed all of her own ambitions as immigrants so often do on her brilliant, beautiful musical child. >> michele obama grew up with electricity and water. chicago had those things. chicago had those things. she grew up in a bungalow and says all i became happened in the four walls of this house, this apartment above a house that her brother told me if you said it was more than 1100 square feet i would say you were lying. her heroes were people they could touch. they were not astronauts or singers or performers, they were her relatives, people she knew in the neighborhood, in part together people who she heard stories at home, her parents and grandparents came north in the great migration and they found the time in chicago that was not easy for black people. wasn't easy

two years later when ruth bader ginsburg got them to say that it meant the world to me. and similarly, i was a professional woman in the '70s and part of the movement to try to get the president to appoint more women to the federal courts at all much less the supreme court. so when sandra day o'connor was appointed to the supreme court it meant the world to me. i was so hoping it would happen just like she said. she said it is okay to be the first but i do not want to be the last. and i was watching her and i didn't want to have her fail. i wanted to be the next one. so they were really my offense. >> host: when will see see a woman chief justice? >> guest: there was talk about making it o'connor. she would have been great and is widely respected. john roberts was a young man so i want to say some years. >> host: next caller is jade from ohio. you have we are listening and you are on with linda hirshman talking about the supreme court. >> caller: thank you. linda, you have such a wonderful sense of humor. it is great to hear that on c-span. thank you for that. what is th

ruth bader ginsburg always saw possible women heroes in every walk of life. it is one of her great characteristics. >> host: last call for linda hirshman is jerry in charlottesville, virginia. >> caller: good afternoon. i am sorry i didn't go to brand ice to partake in your outstanding methods of delivery. my question is if you had an opportunity to appoint a justice, or recommend to president obama an appointee, or the next president, give us a couple of examples of people you know in the law that you feel would be an appropriate choice to make. >> host: jerry, do you have any choices you would like to share? >> caller: i would like to put my name in contention. [laughter] >> guest: i would like a job with life tenure as well. >> host: any recommendations? >> guest: pamala carlman is someone i would love to see appointed. she was the dean of stanford law cool and she is a very, very great constitutional scholar. she has never hidden her liberal beliefs in an effort to make a blank record to qualify herself for the supreme court of the united states. she thou

from the chambers of ruth bader ginsburg, the liberal d.c. circuit judge. ith ruth's recommendation. to get into a position, the republican appointee's chambers. they are chattering away like old friends and o'connor said did you like working fur judge ginsburg? it was so wonderful to clerk for a judge where you agree with her. on every single thing she said. she told me she said to herself oh my god. what did i just do? so so comfortable had justice o'connor magically made this smart, sophisticated rising young legal star and o'connor said to her how would you feel about working for at judge that you don't always agree with? and not being stupid she said that would be fine too. o'connor hired her on the spot which is a beautiful reflection of o'connor. i don't know if you can teach that. it was something she had when she was very young. ginsburg has figured out something hillary could use, how to relate with younger women. they have made her an internet mean, the product of a lesbian woman. i am not outing her. i asked her before, i quote her in the book wh

ruth bader ginsburg is 83 years old. it's a life aappointment, i get it two other justices breyer 80. these seats are going to come up. you don't think trump is going to stack that court? so, again, i would have been a little more subtle and played my card a little more subtly if i were her. >> i would have hoped at the end of the day at least when people get to the supreme court would try to be decent. whether it's who you put on the bench use your best mind you think is fair and the right person. i just actually find this rather shocking. even though i think ted is angling for a clerkship with justice ginsburg because he is the only one. ted, even the "new york times" and the "the washington post." >> i don't care. we're all human. she is an american. she has her opinion. and she can exercise that opinion from the bench. >> nobody said she doesn't have a first amendment right to say it what we are questioning her judgment. anyway, ted, katie, thank you both. >> exactly. >> oh, brother, more disturbing news tonight. man

this is a case that ruth bader ginsburg brought from the very start.e book. i wonder if gloria steinem makes -- ruth bader ginsburg find out about this. and brings the case, this violates the right to equal protection and it also, she made a kind of multi prong of alternates, said it violated his rights to the caregiver to his child, violated the the days d greeted his wife's wage earnings, because she was a dead woman and not a dead man that her work accounted for less. on behalf of the child, the child was being punished and that turned out to be the argument that convinced chief justice rehnquist. it is interesting because sometimes people said she wrote all these cases for men because she was arguing in front of nine men, she had to convince them but what is interesting is if you look at the notes angora arguments of that case the justices are befuddles. they cannot figure out why a man would want to do this. they literally wanted to dismiss the case that there was no standing because they didn't believe him that he wanted to be the primary caregiv

and so ruth bader ginsburg finds out about this. and brings the case and says that this violates his right to equal protection and she made a kind of multi- pronged argument saying it violated his right to be a caregiver to his child. it degraded his wife's wagering. her work counted for less. and also the child was being punished. that turned out to be the argument. so it is interesting. read all these cases for men because she was arguing in front of nine men. if you look at the notes in the oral argument of the case, the justices are befuddled. they cannot figure out why am i will want to do this. they literally wanted to dismiss the case but they did not believe him that he actually wanted to be the primary caregiver for his son i think it was not just her choosing something convenient, she was challenging them. the 1st oral argument before the supreme court, stood in front of the justices and said i asked for no special favor, a quote. i asked for a special favor. i only ask that they take their feet off on that. so as much as

ruth bader ginsburg was really with friends with scalia. and sandra day o'connor was really friends with lois powell and she and john and loi circumstanceslois went on vacation together. it was clear from their demeanor they had an affectionate alliance. >> host: what was their first meeting like? >> guest: i will say in 1981 when sandra day o'connor was approve pointed to the supreme court ruth bader ginsburg wasn't in washington. she heard about it on the radio and didn't know o'connor well. o'connor was a judge and ginsburg didn't know here but said she was glad to hear it. we know they met before 1983 because when o'connor got on the supreme court she inherited potter stewart lawfirm and that firm had clerks for ginsburg. >> host: what about at the supreme court? what do you know about that? >> well, you know, we heard earlier that michele obama reached out to the other first ladies for information. there is a lot of tipping stepping points with the oral tradition. and the etiquette argument, there are many unspoken ways in which o'conn

ruth bader ginsburg will have to recuse herself.trump will talk about that tonight. >> thanks for putting this out there, with the speculation that it will be that close of an election. i don't think it will be that close and she will have not to recuse herself. i think what's only surprising here is the candor, but let's be clear, i think we've learned that the justice's political leanings for a long time. >> you're not surprised to hear this from her? >> i don't think anyone is surprised and if you hear a lot of the dissenting opinions on the conservative and liberal size you will hear a lot more on the political leanings. citizens united was a very political, in my mind -- >> but you're talking about political leanings. this was personal. >> i think her comments were certainly careless, but on one hand refreshing because all of these judges' opinions are incredibly political. they deal with political decisions all of the time and let's drop the pretense of the robe and get pquit pretending that these uj jes aren't political and h

what justice ruth bader ginsberg said that has donald trump calling for her resignation. some pop-up storms in the area as we head into another patch of hot, muggy weather. how maureen: stuck in indianapolis because of a flat tire on his plane, donald family met with possible vice presidential candidate indiana governor mike pence this morning. the republican presumptive met with chris christie and jeff sessions but seen boarding a plane earlier today. trump is expected to announce his pick by the end of this week. for the second time this election cycle, the supreme court is at the center of a controversy. this time, presumptive republican presidential nominee donald trump says supreme court justice ruth bader ginsberg should resign. ginsberg, though, is not backing down from her comments critical of trump's candidacy. correspondent scott thuman is following this tonight. scott: you are right. both had opportunities to take a bit of a breather and back off the attacks. instead they both doubled down. this all began when in an interview a few days ago justice ginsberg exp

until ruth bader ginsburg forced me to think about it this week. if the integrity of the supreme court is based on the notion that supreme court justices do not have a preference about who wins a presidential election, then the integrity is based on pure fantasy. and everybody knows that. and judicial impartiality does not require a justice to hold no personal opinions. it does not require a justice to be able to -- it requires a justice simply to be able to look at the law and make a ruling despite the justice's own personal opinion. now, no one has ever suggested that the catholics on the supreme court should recuse themselves on cases involving abortion, and none of them ever have. and catholics on the supreme court have very consistently ruled against abortion rights, in agreement with their church. and no editorial board has accused them of doing that because their religion has undermined the integrity of the supreme court, has destroyed the justices' ability to rule on the law and the constitution. mario cuomo, catholic governor of new york a

you know ruth bader ginsburg.ou sat down with her after she had put this out there, gave her a chance to walk it back, and what happened? >> well, just to be clear, i was in there on monday evening talking about a lot of different topics. the chief, what had happened in this recently completed term, and then i referred to the fact that she had made these comments that had been in other news outlets, including the front page of "the new york times" that morning. i said, you know, what do you think of the criticism you're getting? she repeated the -- she said she wasn't surprised and repeated that line about moving to new zealand. then i said, well, elaborate, tell me why you think that of donald trump. that's when she went on again. i wasn't surprised, in part -- look, if i hadn't seen what she'd already said, i might have been a little bit taken aback, but i knew she'd already been out there. this is a woman who doesn't have that kind of political instinct. okay, what should i be saying here? she's saying what she

and that is justice ruth bader ginsberg. bill clinton appointee and literally his opposite number ideologically. yet, justice ginsberg and her husband before he passed away a few years ago probably spent more time with justice and mrs. scalia than any member of the court. by the way, one of the reasons justice scalia was so active in the friendly sense of st. patrick is because mrs. scalia's name is maureen murphy. and i have to tell you, i was with him many times when the sort of italian-irish rivalry was debated over the dinner table. and she would look to me and say, you won't be fair because he's one of you, nino. >> the bushes, george w. bush and laura bush out with a statement saying, laura and i mourn the death of an important journalist, supreme court justice antonin scalia. he broughtjudgment, intellect and wit to the bench and will be missed by his colleagues in the country. laura and i send our heart felt condolences to his wife maureen and their nine children and the entire scalia family. in the import of what th

until last night, the big question had been ruth bader ginsburg.t this is one of those demonstrations of how important the election is. that could further direct the future of the court. now you have a leading conservative voice to be replaced by the next year or possibly after this election. on the republican side, how does this change the direction of things there? does it play to ted cruz's advantage? he's got strong conservative credentials. >> if you are ted cruz you remind people and go out every day in south carolina, nevada, going in to the primary thafs fighting for conservatives while donald trump, who is main opponent right now was given six figures in 2006, 2005, 2004 to democrats to flip the senate and they would be in charge of the nominee. let's not be fooled by donald trump claiming he's a great conservative for justices on the supreme court. that's his biggest advantage i see in this election moving forward. bush and rubio need to remind people when they were in the actual fight and what they are criticized for now is the complete

we talked to ruth bader ginsburg and sonia sotomayor. justice ginsburg: i thought of myself in those days as a teacher. my parents thought that teaching would be a good occupation from me. women were not welcome as doctors, lawyers, and engineers. i realized i was facing an audience that did not know what i was talking about. they understood race discrimination, that was odious. but most men at that time thought that the law was riddled with gender-based distinctions but they operated in the women's favor. like, a woman did not have to serve on a jury if she did not want to.

the justice in question in this case is ruth bader ginsburg. it was not part of lawyers arguing before the court or opinion, they were just interviews about donald trump. and her comments criticized him. house speaker paul ryan was asked to respond. >> i find it very peculiar, and i think it's out of place for an appointed branch of government. that shows bias to me. those of us who are in the elected branch of government, who get elected to things, i think that's perfectly in the realm. but for someone on the supreme court, who is going to be calling balls and strikes in the future, based upon whatever the next president and congress does, that strikes me as inherently biased and out of the realm. i think that's something she should not have done. i don't think that shows she intends on being impartial in the future. >> josh earnest was also asked about it. >> does the white house have any concerns about that kind of language from a supreme court justice, or feel that it's appropriate for her to be making those kinds of -- opining in that way

justices breyer, ruth bader ginsburg, sotomayor and justice kennedy wrote in favor of texas clinics and chief justice roberts, and justices thomas and alito dissented. joining me is nbc justice correspondent pete williams. this is unusual. it shows maybe an eight member court might be an effective instrument of justice here. >> couple things to think about. justice scalia had been on this court it would have been 5-4, probably the same outcome. secondly, of all those justices, the only one who spoke up and said there was nothing wrong with the law was justice thomas. but it is a pretty strong smack-down of the texas law. basically the court says it raises obstacles to women's access to abortion without any medical benefit, so therefore it's an undue burden. this decision doesn't by itself undercut the other laws but can be used in other states to challenge them. >> does this reaffirm casey and webster and the cases subsequent to roe v wade, bottom line, a
