that's the job of a judge. a good judge doesn't come up the way they want all the time. that is a willful judge. you don't want a willful judge. you don't want a willful justice. that is not good for democracy. that is not what our constitution intended and it is not what you want for a nominee to the federal bench whether it is the appellate level for supreme court. justin: can i add something i forgot. on the question of the constitutionality of the institutional mandate, he did say it may be unprecedented and there may be a problem with it not having a limiting principle. if you look at the roadmap the supreme court followed saint the commerce clause did not mandate, it was similar to those two things that judge kavanaugh struck. i just wanted to make sure that i'm not accused of inconsistencies. elizabeth: other questions? deputy director of the center here at the heritage. let's say you walk up the front door and mr. and mr. average american are walking by and they ask you the question that is the title of the event today. what kind of judge is judge kavanaugh? being

so what you see here is a judge who is a judge's judge. a judge who does not try to make it up as he goes along but interpret the law system with the text written by members of congress, the political branches. and the constitution as understood by the people who wrote it and as understood by those who expositors -- exposited it at that time. that is an important thing is we talk about the potential nomination of a judge to the supreme court. you want a judge who has a healthy respect for the role of each branch, including his or her own. that is the kind of judge you see in judge kavanaugh. we have an extensive record. 184,000 pages of material given to the judiciary committee. this idea that there is not enough paperwork or material and september 4, which is longer than any other modern judge or nominee has awaited confirmation is ridiculous. i'm hoping we will see a swift effort and rapid action on the floor. elizabeth: thank you. with that we will open it to questions. so please wait for the microphone. we have a microphone and identif

i knew he was a judge, but i was not particularly interested in judge's. i was planning to go back to graduate school. clerking really wasn't a thing, the process was very scary to me. i didn't have the stomach for it, i was several years older than your average law student. i didn't think i have the time to spend years slaving away for some stuffy judge. i had done any of the rings that you do that qualifies you and i have done -- like starting with learning the names of the most illustrious judges in the country. if you met him, you know that he is disarming, kind and open personality and he does not lead with his resume, the opposite of intimidating. i chatted with him about all sorts of things, talked about growing up irish catholic, he didn't talk about himself at all , . he directs the conversation away from him elf dennis from himself. he was a normal, down to earth conversation. he was an exceptionally nice person. he did not take that time with me that night, he spent the evening -- he gave a talk and then had a spur of the moment invitation to spe

hero to him, a role model as a judge. i think those similarities are going to be obvious in terms of things like textualism. there are some differences. i think justice scalia was famous for writing a very strongly worded dissent for example that would bring out sort of the worst in a majority opinion. point out if the majority opinion is in fact correct, we are not just at step a, we are already at step z already. i think my guess would be that judge kavanaugh is unlikely to pursue that particular strategy. instead, he is a very sort of disciplined and restrained writer in dissent as well as in the majority opinion, and very concerned with collegialaity and things like that. i think his opinions will have a different flavor than justice scalia's did. >> microphone? right down here. >> hi. i'm with breitbart news. i have been to some of the antikavanaugh protests and interesting to hear from three women because one of their main complaints is they think he will be a very bad juror as far as women's rights, reproductive rig

judge kavanaugh wrote an opinion over a defense from a judge often viewed as a conservative, saying that trial court did err, and this woman should have been able to present this evidence, and that was an error. that was an example of judge kavanaugh taking each case as it comes, applying the law impartially, and that often does result in an outcome that favors women. >> i wanted to add that i think any special interest group that is looking at the judge and trying to evaluate what he is going to do for them when he is on the bench is looking at this question the wrong way. and misunderstanding judge kavanaugh. as we have discussed at length, that is just not the way he approaches cases. he has a long record of not approaching cases to the point of view of which constituency the outcome will serve. i think probably every special interest group will find something to like and dislike in his record. i think that is kind of a distraction from what the real conversation should be. >> what i heard from the panel is it looks rather than discussing how judge -- the supreme court will improve th

i will exercise both the fortitude and humility required of a judge. and i will always support the rule of law and independence of the judiciary. thank you.

in the supreme court of georgia, judge kavanaugh introduced me. the constitution is a cherished document that protects liberties through its recognition of rights. at my senate confirmation hearing, with judge kavanaugh seated behind me, i learned that judges could disagree without being disagreeable. it is our duty to separate the law from our own policy preferences. this, i will strive 's live up to judge kavanaugh example of stability and commitment to the rule of law. he has been a force of stability and a defender of liberty for the american people. thank you, judge kavanaugh, for these ideals. as i take on the honor of serving on the 11th circuit, i also want to thank others. thank you to my parents, who stand with me today. you instilled in me the love of country that has been my bedrock in public service. like you for telling me from day one that i could do anything that i set my mind to. our three wonderful children, who among other things, continue to keep me honest. hankey to the president for my nomination and appointment and all those in the administration

in short, he is a judge's judge. in fact, nearly every one of his former clerks signed a letter extolling the qualifications he has, his virtues, and his temperament. so widespread was the support of their former mentor, only those prohibited by their employer from signing off were left off. newspaper editorial boards from across the country have endorsed his nomination. here are just some of the dozens of glowing testimonials about judge kavanaugh. the "wall street journal," judge kavanaugh has an exemplary record that suggests that he will help restore the supreme court to its proper more proper role in modern politics and society. he has the experience and intellect to be a leader on the court, not merely a plea democraticable vote on this or that issue. the "detroit news," brett kavanaugh's credentials, his unassailable character, his record as a judge dedicated to the constitution, and his like ability should overwhelm the senate skeptics who will oppose him simply because he was appointed by trump. the "remind t

we do not have to imagine what kind of a judge she will be because we see what kind of a judge she has been. so it seems to me it is pretty clear that we have an equal amount of evidence to look at of judge kavanaugh's qualifications for being on the supreme court, and the amount of documents that we are going to have for judge kavanaugh is at least five times the number of records we have got for justice kagan and then we will get -- in other words, we going to get five times as much for judge kavanaugh as we got for justice kagan. that also adds up to something we think is more than the records for five previous supreme court justices. combined. so i think that anybody saying we don't have records and a very good basis for hearing and determining what judge kavanaugh is all about being on the supreme court, and i will end with this. unsubstantiated questions about the accuracy of judge kavanaugh's testimony in 2006, do not require the productions of millions of pages from his position as white house staff, secretary. then, chairman leahy refuses, referred these allegations to the dep

it may mean a consideration that judge kavanaugh does not occur in september. maybe a few weeks later but no need to rush. no extraordinary circumstances here that preclude the senate. from actually doing its job. doing what they are sworn to do, paid to do, elected to do, and what the american people expect us to do. if the senate is to be the conscience of the nation. trumpct that president join a nominee with a lengthy partisan record is not exclude the committee from that in such a record. some responsibilities of the senate are routine, but some are extraordinarily important. the vote to go to war, very important. is hard to think of anything more important that our responsibility, how we vote on a lifetime appointment to the supreme court. that is an important responsibility. i think we ought to demonstrate to the american people that we are willing to carry out our responsibility. we have done it in the past in a bipartisan way. let's at least have all of the facts out here. then every senator can vote the way they want. we will not question any senators

we have the judge's record from the federal bench. that is a public record or do have even before she was designated by the president, the judge's mainstay -- mainstream record of judicial restraint and modesty is the best syndication of her judicial philosophy. we do not have to imagine what kind of a judge she will be because we see what kind of a judge she has been. so it seems to me it is pretty clear that we have an equal ofunt of evidence to look at judge kavanaugh's qualifications for being on the supreme court, and the amount of documents that we are going to have for judge least five times the number of records we have and thenustice kagan we will get -- in other words, we going to get five times as much for judge kavanaugh as we got for justice kagan. up to something we think is more than the records for five previous supreme court justices. combined. anybody saying and a veryve records good basis for hearing and judge kavanaugh is all about being on the supreme court and i will end with this. unsubstantiated questions about the adequ

a judicial nominee will be. of course, at the time the discussion was whether judges respected their unique role in our government, one that came to be described as the modest role. in other words, not primarily as a policymaker. but the point is, and i agree with the comments made by our friend, senator schumer, that it is the judicial record which tells us the most about how a judge will perform once elevated to the united states supreme court. at another point, the democratic leader said with regard to then-judge sotomayor, he said we have heard precious little about the body and totality of your 17-year record on the bench, which everyone knows is the best way to evaluate a nominee. again, i agree with him. in one final instance, he said addressing judge sotomayor, he said i want to turn to your record on the bench, which i believe is the best way to get a sense of what your record will be on the bench in the future. again, common sense. you heard it, the best way to get a sense of how a judge will perform in the future is how he or she has performed on the bench in the past, and that's according to our frien

dependent on a judge. say, whoa, that's way less time than what bank fraud you were saying 10 to 12? >> reports are that he's pleading guilty to a $20 million bank fraud which under sentencing guidelines puts him at 10 to 12 years at jail. he's looking at the abyss right now. the only way you get out of that situation in the federal system is by cooperation. that's why it's so significant. >> is that what's implied here? >> the only way that you get a significant reduction is if the government goes to the judge and says this guy really helped me with another case. otherwise he's looking at a long time in jail. that's why i keep going back to the cooperation piece. it doesn't make sense. >> page pate, does it make sense to you? are you befuddled a tad as well. >> befuddled is a good word for it. that's the first question i had in my mind when i came to the bureau and realized there's a plea deal in the works. it's easy for the u.s. attorney to put cooperation language in a plea agreement. it doesn't require

the defense is in a lot of trouble. the judgews this and frankly a lot of times when he's bending over backwards to help the defense he's trying to help the record on appeal because he knows there's almost certainly going to be a conviction here of paul manafort and he knows there's going be an appeal later on. so i think on balance, this judge has actually been good for the prosecution because he's kept tight control over the courtroom. the defense usually likes a judge who lets there be free rein to make it a circus. >> glenn, i want to ask you, this is cnn's legal analyst jeffrey toobin with strong words for judge ellis' behavior. take a look. >> judge ellis is a bully and a disgrace. his behavior in the courtroom is appalling. there are many ways that judges can keep a disciplined courtroom that can move cases along quickly without berating and embarrassing the lawyers, especially when the judge was wrong. >> glenn, what do you think? do you agree with toobin's criticism. >> i don't know if i would use words quite that harsh.

the supreme court has, and 13 separate cases, adopted a legal position advanced by judge kavanaugh's in his opinions on the d.c. circuit. that is a very impressive record. few people on the circuit court of appeals could claim that. the majority staff has already received more than 10000 pages of judicial opinions that judge kavanaugh wrote or joined. more than 17000 pages of materials that judge kavanaugh provided in response to the most robust questionnaire ever submitted to a supreme court nominee. more than 260 pages of e-mails and other records from judge kavanaugh's executive ranch legal service. this morning, the committee received close to 170,000 pages of additional records from judge kavanaugh's executive branch legal service. we now have more than 400 30,000 pages from judge kavanaugh's time in the executive branch. by far, the most ever received from a supreme court nominee. the majority staff will finish reading every one of these pages before judge kavanaugh's hearing which starts the day after labor day. i am following the president does establish during justice kagan's

we have a lot of confidence that and is on a strong pass, judge kavanaugh will do a great job in the hearings despite a lot of the histrionics and the political posturing you are going to see during the hearing. it will probably be after labor day. >> i presume we will look for the other potentially vulnerable democrats to come the right direction. bill nelson of florida. yes. jones in alabama is not up for reelection, but he is a brand-new senator. he did not vote on gorsuch, so we don't know where he stands. we have been doing advertisements about judge kavanaugh in alabama and the other three states. about twont to talk other things, sort of more broadly here. and one is -- let's kind of maybe try and move a little more quickly so we can get to some other subjects, too. donald trump did a very interesting thing as a candidate. he has really may be changed in the game as it relates to presidential candidates going forward by developing a list of finalists that he would consider for supreme court vacancies. he eventually expanded nine and then to 20. 25, right. mins kavanaugh, sure,
