[crowd booing] in fact, we saw that religious intolerance writ large when amy coney barrett was up for court of appeals post a couple of years ago. you remember? the number one democrat on the judiciary committee said that she was concerned about amy coney barrett's christian faith. in fact, she said, and i quote, because, "the dogma lives loudly within you." [crowd booing] and hollywood liberals have been attacking amy coney barrett for her christian faith ever since everything. well, i got news for the democrats in washington and their hollywood friends. that dogma lives loudly in me. [cheering and applause] that dogma lives loudly in you. and the right to live and worship according to the dictates of our faith lives loudly in the constitution of the united states of america.

in fact, we saw that religious intolerance two years ago when amy coney barrett was up for her first court of appeals. you remember it? the democratic leader of the judiciary committee actually said she was concerned about amy coney barrett's christian faith. she said, and i quote, the dogma lives loudly within you. and hollywood liberals have been attacking judge barrett ever since. well, i got news for the democrats in washington. and their friends in hollywood. that dogma lives loudly in me. [cheers and applause] that dogma lives loudly in you. and the right to live and worship according to the dictates of our faith lives loudly in the constitution of the united states of america.

gorsuch, kavanaugh, and of course amy coney barrett, of course in october was confirmed.ffectively a 9-0 decision here. president trump has a very different understanding of what it means to be on the supreme court than do the justices. he expected payback for their appointments. yesterday they said that's not how it works. >> the president was not shy in the months running up to the election that he anticipated that this -- the outcome would be determined in the supreme court and that he thought that he would win for exactly that within, that the conservatives have a majority and he appointed three justices to the highest bench in the land, including amy coney barrett, which, a nomination rushed through and she took her seat on the bench weeks before americans went to the polls on november 3rd. that is, of course, not what happened yesterday. despite the president's remarks at that operation warp speed event at the white house, despite the president in the afternoon tweeting out a number of memes about the justices, including amy coney barrett, despite that his allies si

this includes the historic opportunity to confirm a pioneering justice, amy coney barrett to the supreme court. we worked together in this chamber to quickly deliver relief for this first in a century pandemic. thanks to president trump, vice president pence, majority leader mitch mcconnell, and all of my colleagues who demonstrated leadership and commitment to these important missions. we saved the wart hog from being mothballed -- -- again. and i told the whole world in a senate armed services committee hearing that as a pilot and u.s. senator, i'm a survivor of sexual assault. my path of healing, of finding my voice and strength to not be held down or held back was not easy but i can say like joseph in the old testament, what others intended for evil god used for good. i'm grateful god gave me the courage to tell my story. i'm blessed to be a senator to use my platform to be an example of hope and healing for others. during my time serving in the air force, i developed a commonsense approach to solving problems that i took with me when i deployed to d.c. despite the division and dysfu

united states have both tested positive. >> the announcement of the formal nomination of judge amy coney barrett seems to have been a super spreader event. >> despite multiple republican senators testing positive for covid-19, the senate moved quickly to confirm barrett, solidifying a 6-3 conservative majority. by election night, a record number of americans cast their ballot by mail or in person. but it would be days before a result would be clear. >>> cnn projects joseph r. biden, jr., is elected the 46th president of the united states. >> the election was over. for everyone but president trump and many of his supporters. >> the trump administration is still refusing to say that joe biden is president-elect. >> as biden moved forward, building a diverse cabinet, president trump launched a failed bid to overturn the results oh of the election, and moved to purge disloyal officials. >> the president fired aco official at the department of homeland security. >> the supreme court speaking and rejecting president trump's effort to win the election. >> jig is up. the president of the united states h

just as amy coney barrett on the bench, some of these cases went the other direction with chief justices the swing vote but the new york case was very strong, governor cuomo has limited churches to ten or 25 people depending on who, no matter how big a church. some 1200 people. i think it strikes a lot of people as not reasonable to limit them ten. paul: dan, this has had i think a cellular taylor deterrent effect on some governors to impw restrictions. dan: yes, it has. governors have been exercising their authority in extraordinary ways through this pandemic without much pushback on the public or their legislatures this week as well, in washington d.c., the mayor pulled back the restrictions on churches onto the threat of a lawsuit from the archdiocese of washington. she ruled they could have services of the 25% or maximum 200 and50 people and that is a good example of these political officials deciding the supreme court, citing the first amendment religious liberties made a strong statement that if you try to restrict them, you're going to run them should lawsuits be filed like this.

with his last nominee, amy coney barrett, he was kweconcerned ofe election and he wants to make sureresentative iss is the court. you know they're not his representatives. they represent democracy. >> it is clear though there is no legal standing for the lawsuit. 126 members of congress still signed onto it. a number of them attorneys including kevin mccarthy that clearly, we just talked to congressman republican riggleman says there is a grift going on and surely is. did you ever think the republican party would go that far? i hate to make this about the republican party or democratic party but it is a brigrift goinn and americans are giving huge amounts of money and the president is playing them for su suck suckers. >> you remember when barack obama was elected, mitch mcconnell's number one objective was to make sure president obama would not get elected for the second term. now in the face of a clear resounding win by president-biden, republicans are playing politics. who loses out? it is the erosion of our democracy and it is going to have consequences that are not good for ameri

after they said you can't touch amy coney barrett's faith. >> well, first of all, happy birthday week. >> it's transparent. the irony that they are attacking the man who has inherited dr. king's pulpit. as dr. king was attacked from that same pulpit. and then to attack the ritual of the black church. it's as if they want to take us back when we were enslaved and hide in harbors to worship. and the plantation owners had to make sure we weren't planning to escape chl the fabt of the matter is georgia is planning to escape in january. the real deal is it's knot about so much the religious practice as it is the numbers the devil is worried about the details. organizations like the black church political action committee, knocked on 30,000 doors. called 2,000 georgiaens. during the phone bank. and doing that again for the run off. that is what they're worried about. the reason run off was set up to be discriminatory. it may not work out this way. for loeffler and perdue. they are afraid of the power of the black church. that's the bottom line. >> you have newt implying that stacey abrams s

and during the committee hearing while she did ask amy coney barrett a number of questions about issuese also praised barrett multiple times, and she also praised the handling of the hearings by the senate republican chairman lindsey graham at the same time democrats are trying to contend the hearing process was a sham. that all led to democrats saying she needs to step aside, and ultimately chuck schumer said he had a stern conversation with her afterwards. and "the new yorker" article said he had to have that conversation with her on multiple occasions, and i'm told from a source that is an accurate reflection how that interaction went down. so she has stepped aside from that top post. even if democrats take the senate, jake, she would have been the first woman to chair the senate judiciary committee, but that's not going to happen anymore now that dick durbin is the top of the committee. she's the oldest member in the senate at 87. >> my grandmother use today have needlepoint in the kitchen that said old age is not for sissies. a sad situation. >>> any moment the fda could recommend

that's why he wanted justice amy coney barrett but on as quickly as he did.arly he was going to rely on her and the cavanaugh and gorsuch, but none of them stood by him. are you surprised by that? >> i'm not because, first of all, they were very clear, each of them to say that they were not going to be, and i'm paraphrasing, a marionette and they would abide by the rule of law. the constitution says that states are the ones who administer their own elections and they're not going to weigh in because somebody prefers them to. they're not beholden in that respect, which should give some comfort. but, again, you also have the idea here that none of them have om misinterpretation of what the bush versus gore case was about. specifically it was in question who won the election. it was an equal protection related clause that they wanted to try to interpret. here, none of that was present, and only, frankly, two of the justices who actually decided that case, bush versus gore, are on the court. talking about justice breyer and justice thomas and both of them did not

including justice amy coney barrett.remember under the last administration our values and freedoms were under regular assault. the last administration trampled the religious liberties of americans on a regular basis and compromised the conscience rights of doctors and nurses and religious charities and they everyone hauled a group of nuns known as the little sisters of the poor in to federal court to force them to compromise their faith to live under the mandates of obamacare. in fact we saw the religious intolerance two years ago when barrett bathe was up for her first seat on the court of appeals. remember? the democrat leader of the judiciary committee said she was concerned about amy coney barrett's christian faith. she said and i quote, "the dogma lives loudly within you." and hollywood liberals have been attacking judge barrett every since. i got news for the democrats in washington. and their friends in hollywood. that dogma lives loudly in me. that dogma lives loudly in you. and the right to live and worship acco

amy coney barrett going through a tough hearing. do you think she has been treated fairly?? >> no.ever, she is holding her own and doing a great job. we're real proud of her. >> she is so amazing. it's like they can't, they keep trying to trip her up and they just can't. i've never seen anybody like it. >> are you impressed with her? >> i am. she is making all the democrats look really stupid. it just makes me so happy.ve >> you seem happy. >> yeah, i am. >> i think she has an intellect like no other. probably one of the smartest people that is ever going come in the supreme court.h, i don't think she is fazed by the questions she was asked. >> what do you think happens at the end of the day? do you think she is confirmed? >> absolutely. absolutely. you know what? i think if some of the democratic senators don't vote for her, then they are, then they don't need to be re-elected. how can they look at her andot think she is not qualified? >> sean: coming up my interview with the "dirty jobs" host the-e great mike rowe. a we talk about america's resiliency in the covid-19 crisis as th

amy coney barrett a few weeks ago, people were going after her for her faith and being a good mom.d some people out. i said are we americans? are we american women? shouldn't we all be treated the same? sarah sanders, i tweeted. i wasn't defending anybody. i was calling out the offensive thing the people were saying about parts of our culture, women, children, lgbt. >> katie: yeah, no. it's been completely acceptable for decades to go after conservative women in ways that you would never get away with and you shouldn't get away with when it comes to how you criticize women on the other side of the aisle. democrats have always argued that they are the party of women that they respect them. their actions have spoken much louder than words when it comes to how they've treated not just the trump family but margaret thatcher for example over in the u.k. and the way they've treated her in the way she handled things. we know that's the standard. conservative women tend understand that they are not going to get those kind words and they move forward and they do their jobs well and they don

it was one of the justifications, of course, for rushing the amy coney barrett confirmation through. >> as john said, it's pretty much over. and even if some of these lower-court cases may, somehow, make their way to higher courts. the problem for the president is that he's lost so many states, he's behind by so many electoral votes, that no one state is going to reverse what we are seeing here. and what the entire country, frankly, will see on monday when the electoral college meets. so, this is over. the president doesn't even get to have the supreme court weigh in on this because the court knows that this kind of request, to basically have the court weigh in, throw out millions of votes, is completely unprecedented and would really throw the country into incredible turmoil. not to mention, the fact that there is virtually no legal basis for the claims being made in the suit. >> and abby, for a president, who hates -- who -- who -- whose criticism -- greatest criticism or, you know, what he thinks is the most cutting criticism of all is calling someone a loser. for him to be a one-

any kind of thought that the president might have had that the supreme court -- he just put amy coney barrettn the court, for example, and he said that outloud at one point. you know? maybe they will help me out here. well, they are not going to help him out. i think the next question is what do those republicans do in the senate whom we have not heard from and those republicans in the house whom we are not heard from, now that the president's avenue seems to be exhausted. it's absurd at this point for anyone to deny that joe biden is the president-elect and i'm waiting to hear what the white house says about this. >> i want to go to the white house once again. jim acosta is standing by. every time a republican, whether a governor, like a governor of georgia or a republican governor of arizona, a republican or any of the state secretaries of state others involved saying no evidence of widespread fraud, a free and fair election. the president has attacked them. when the attorney general of the united states bill barr said the justice department investigated and the homeland security department

and there were no recorded dissents by any of the justices, including amy coney barrett and neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh, all of whom appointed by president trump. there's no doubt this is a clear message from the supreme court that they want no part of this campaign in the courts to overturn the election. trump's allies were trying to get millions of votes invalidated in pennsylvania and in this brusk way, the supreme court just said no. and that should end it in the courts. >> terry moran on the breaking news from the supreme court tonight. thank you, terry. >>> president-elect joe biden introducing members of his health care team and revealing what he will do on the virus in his first 100 days. what this means for masks in this country and vaccinations, calling for 100 million vaccinations in the first 100 days. there was also news on children and schools and dr. anthony fauci was right there today. and what he said. here's abc's mary bruce tonight. >> reporter: president-elect joe biden today introducing the team he says will bring an end to the covid crisis. >> good afternoon. >

and naming a lot of judges and justices over the years especially 2020, ending with justice amy coney barrett>> that is right. if you look at what trump is done, he has appointed 54 courts of appeals, 174 lower court cases and the supreme court. he's going to have an impact on the judiciary for generations to come, just because he appointed all these constitutionalist judges, won't be activist judges, looking what the text of the statute say congress passed rather than pushing their liberal agenda and this will have an impact for generations to come and i think the media has been silent on this and i'm glad we are reporting on it. jillian: and affect every person in the country, operation warp speed and the fact the president has been able to do a lot of work to cut through red tape and make sure we had a clean, two of them, before the end of 2020. >> if you look at the democrat primary and the general election where the media and joe biden were literally marking the president when he proclaimed they would have a vaccine by the end of clear, they said no way that will happen. it is all politi

independent despite several people's concerns over the past months with the rush to confirm justice amy coney barrett. but, in fact, this is a very clear sign that it has not affected the independence of the supreme court and regardless of the president's power to appoint and to give those lifetime appointments, it's the lifetime appointment that remains tremendously important in ensuring the independence of that court. so, you know, i think going forward, once president biden has been installed in office, when that question of the supreme court reform comes up, people are going to have to think very, very hard about some proposals which are going to have term elements on justices that independence is just tremendously important. >> so the system health, but what about society? theeven presented with two possibilities, one, there was a massive fraud in both parties across several states with dozens of judges, democrats and republicans supporting this, including the ones the president appointed, that's one, or two, donald trump lost and given that, how governable will this country be? look into the fu

they're asking for sup superspreading events and they're getting it, as they did with the amy coney barrett unveiling. and this is not the only way that president trump may hurt himself and the party, because given the president's relentless attacks on the republican governor of georgia, it's very possible that this could be counterproductive politically for the january runoffs. >> susan, when i got the alert for your piece, i was like, man, we're on the same wavelength. the president is acting crazy, so why are we shrugging it off? okay, and you say, in part, donald trump in defeat, it turns out, is even more whiney, dishonest, and self-absorbed. the temptation is to cringe and avert your gaze. but when the president launches a direct attack on the most important traditions of american democracy, i'm not ready to say yeah, whatever, just yet. i talked about this a little bit in the open to my show last night. can you imagine if a relative did this, he would be the crazy uncle that everyone talked about. and you certainly would not elect him to public office. there's no sugar coating it, is

trump's latest supreme court pick, justice amy coney barrett. barrett: if an undocumented person has been in sathe country fo20 years, even if illegally, as you say, why would such a person not have a settleresidence here? >> i'm not disputing at all that illegal aliens form ties to the community in the sense you're talking about. but they're not the sort of ties that are sufficient to qualify you within the apportiment base. g justice samuel alito pressed new york soliciteral barbara underwood, who aruged against the policy, on who should be counted. >> a tourist who is here on a valid visa? >> no. >> a tourist who overstays her visa and is therefore here illegally? >> that person is a resident like any other undocumented person. john: justice stephen breyer suggested the president's order could also affect the distribution of about 1.5 trillion dollars in yedily federal sp on programs like medicare, head start, and school lunches >> i think, are there not many statutes which divide funds among the states on the basis oa poon and then they say

that is why he pushed so far to get amy coney barrett through and he made it clear coming up to her confirmation. the day he thinks someone should join him in the effort to undermine democracy. then he went off on the election. he was pleading for any legislatures and said supreme court justices to help him in the effort. i think the supreme court made it clear tonight they are not going to be playing a role in this. >> biden's team said the election is over and the president clearly lost. the president's behavior is too crazy to ever do that. are they stuck right here? they are in a pickle. >> they are in a trap of their own making that the hyper partisanship has led them to. he is still very popular though with their base. the bar they are setting for themselves is when the electoral meets on december 14th. that will mean that a week from today after the votes are counted on the 14th, which is monday. on tuesday we should hear every senator who has a shred of integrity left the electoral college has spoken and joe biden is the president-elect. mr. trump, have fun over the next four years at le

mother and now take a look at this glamour mag headline the power and threats of mothers like amy coney barrett, general mali as well saying they have really challenging jobs as mothers, as full time workers why this double standard and aren't they tired of doing this? people are really disgusted when they see this stuff, why have they not caught on to that? >> and they are not tired of doing it and they're going to continue because the left believes in intellectual isolation when it comes to women and women's issues and jed as you know i had a book that came out in september on this very topic, the mind of a conservative woman, but the left says, unless you go to our agenda then we don't want to hear from you and if you're pro- life and pro-family and pro- religion and pro-business and pro-military your opinion does not count so they really do have a double standard and they delight, it is very intentional in how they treat conservative women and diminish them and disregard their opinions, and what we have to look at though is that all across the country this year, whether it was state or fede

gorsuch, amy coney barrett, brett kavanaugh, none of the people he appointed which i think trump thinks they can get a free and fair election and saying it was something else. they can continue to do that. they'll definitely try to stop this on the floor of the house as they're counting the elector votes. >> right. of course, most republicans in congress have shown their true col lorsz going along with president trump's false claims of election fraud. only a few have actually dared to speak out. how dangerous is this for u.s. democracy? and how much longer can these republicans keep supporting trump's lie? >> well, i think they're very afraid of him, right? he uses social media as a bully pulpit. i have some sympathy for represents to go. in any other country we would call that a democratic cow. i choose to call that what we would in the u.s. while donald trump is raking in this money and putting out these false claims, he's inciting a lot of violent rhetoric and actions. you saw armed protestors gathered outside of the secretary of state's house in michigan while she's watching the gri

but then i look at people like samuel alito and clarence thomas and amy coney barrett. i don't have a good read yet on judge kavanaugh. i don't have a good read on the constitution. it highlights the importance off those three seats that were filled by the president. >> that's right. no, this is very important. if you ever wonder why it is so important to make sure that you have a great supreme court justices on the bench, this is the example. it is right here right now. and look, the president i think put in really great people. we will see what happens with this but the reality is that the constitution is at stake right now and if the selection is allowed to go forward and if fraudulent votes are allowed to be counted at people do not have faith in the system, america is all but gone. and so we want to uphold and protect the united states constitution. let's hope that the supreme court feels the same way. >> sean: you know, with all the irregularities and then you look at these polls and you see, upwards of 80 plus percent of republicans don't have faith in the outcom

that the president himself nominated for the supreme court, neil gorsuch, breath kavanaugh and amy coney barrettis had no bearing coming before the supreme court. will it have any bearing on other republicans? >> it was all six republican appointees. it should. and i think this is the kind of thing that helps demonstrate to republican voters that it's not some vast left wing conspiracy to resuuse hillary clinton's fa phrase. state and federal judges, just in wisconsin today we had another rejection of a trump lawsuit by a trump appointed district judge in office three months wrote a blistering opinion. the president's had his chance. he's not presented effective legal arguments. he's not presented facts. he's presented speculation and it's done. legally this was over a long time ago. monday politically it will be over. >> you're a lifelong republican. the republicans should focus on making biden a one-term president. you worked with him for a long time. do you think he has enough claim to claim the nomination in 2020 and we bury it? that's the same age that biden is right now. >> i don't think h

we'll speak out about this because of the comity with it, she showed during the amy coney barrett hearings and she hugged lindsey graham and it was the best hearing and that was a bridge too far and they said we'll speak out about this. what do you make of that criticism? >> i mean, the reality is that some of the progressive groups were so upset by her performance during the amy coney barrett hearings and they spoke out. so there's a half truth that it played a part in publicizing this. but what happened during those hearings was that there was a strategy that the democrats had, which was to try to portray the hearings as an illegitimate process that was being jammed down their throats by the republicans and when the ranking democrat, dianne feinstein, at the end of the hearing said they were the fairest hearings she had ever participated in and hugged her republican counterpart, lindsey graham, the chairman of the committee, it exploded the strategy that the democrats had. so it wasn't just comity, it was also a political under -- you know, just it was -- she just was not working in conc

kavanaugh and amy coney barrett. and she was very caged during her confirmation hearing about any legal philosophy. include things people on both sides of the aisle expect her to answer. does this tell us anything about what the court might look like in the future? the legacy of the president trump might be on the supreme court? >> it is absolutely a more conservative court. even to the extent the chief justice sided with the court liberal in the past. there's no question that he is still conservative. you have a 6-3 conservative court taking up questions of executive action by a biden administration. trying to roll back the actions by the trurp administration. cases coming again about religious freedom issues mpt lgbtq rights. likely to cases on the second amendment and gun right cases. where conservatives hope the support for the judicial nominee pays off. down the road. >> thanks very much. >>> finally. some good news if the pandemic. the senate reached a deal as millions of vaccines are shipped out across the cou

away, the republicans pushed ahead with plans to replace the icon with a conservative justice, amy coney barrettit's my honor to nominate one of the nation's most brilliant and gifted legal minds. >> reporter: the white house ceremony was soon known as a covid super spreader event. on october 2nd, the virus reached the highest office in the land. >> standing in the north lawn and watching the helicopter take the president of the united states to the hospital where he is sick with the coronavirus, it is sobering. >> reporter: he would return to the white house three days later, removing his mask on the balcony and delivering this message to americans. >> i learned so much about coronavirus. and one thing that's for certain, don't let it dominate you. >> reporter: it was a stunningly short blip in the campaign, book ended by two debates. >> did you use the word smart? >> don't ever use the word smart with me. >> reporter: the first one. >> proud boys, stand back and stand by. >> reporter: a raucous event. >> why wouldn't you answer that question? >> the question is, the question is. >> radical lef

that's why he pushed so hard to get amy coney barrett go through. he made it clear today that he does think someone should join him in this effort to undermine democracy. he was pleading with anyone at an event that we're supposed to be focused on vaccines and touting that, then he went off on the election and he was pleading toer any legislators or complete legislatures or he even said some supreme court justices to help him in this effort. i think the supreme court made clear tonight, they won't be playing a role in this. >> biden is seeing this election is over, the president has clearly lost. the republicans can't embrace reality until the presses gives them permission to do it. and his behavior is too crazy to ever do that. are they stuck? they're in a pickle. >> they're in a tram of their own making theheimer partisanship has made. he is broadly unpopular with the american people but broadly popular with his base. the bar they've set for themselves, when the electoral college meets on december 14th, that will mean one week from today, after th
