anthony kennedy comes in as a swing vote. for democrats the question is as well qualified as brett kavanaugh is in the aba has said he is thoroughly well qualified, is he so conservative that he would tilt this court forever and a day to the right? and lower public trust in the ability of the court to be impartial? >> we're expecting to hear a lot from democrats in their opening statements about these documents, 42,000 pages released by the white house last evening on labor day evening on the holiday evening, judge. how does this change things? >> this is exquisitely unfair to release that number of documents the night before the hearing starts. it is literally impossible even for a team of democratic staffers in fairness to them, to go through all of this and find what they are looking for. what are they looking for? they're looking for antipathy for roe versus wade expressed by brett kavanaugh looking in the george w. bush white house and comments that they believe he made in writing that are in favor of torture or as the b

again, we cannot underscore enough the importance of this particular seat that the swing vote anthony kennedy is gone and this is the nominee to fill that seat. thank you so much, joan. we'll be seeing a lot of you over the next week. here with me at the table to share their reporting and insights, cnn's abby philip, jeff mason with reuters, david drucker, with the washington examiner, and cnn's manu raju. what have you been hearing? >> talking to senate democrats, they plan to hone in on four key areas in the questioning this week beginning on win. the four areas include untruthfulness, referring to specifically the 2004 and 2006 confirmation hearings when brett kavanaugh came before the senate judiciary committee. they believe he was not truthful in his testimony in some key areas, his involvement on some wire-tapping issues as well as detainee policy as well as three federal judgeships. they say he was more involved than he let on during that testimony. also the affordable care act. there's that very controversial texas case going through the courts right now. he may have a chance to rule

he would take the place of anthony kennedy, sometimes voted with conservatives, sometimes liberal. >>xactly. conservative justice replaced scalia, who died last year, president obama denied to fill that seat. two trump appointees. whole idea is shift the court to the right. main idea to get rid of reproductive rights for women in america. as mike pence has said for decades, i want to put roe v. wade on the ash heap of history. this is something think kavanaugh will do. >> you bring up mike pence, subject of your new book. call him shadow president. vice president of the united states. how deeply important is his presence on the ticket for trump's continued presidency or his presidency from the beginning? >> it was everything. funny story, i was on cnn the morning that pence was selected. there was a great deal of mystery about who will he choose. for some reason i had the instinct that it was pence because pence balances out trump almost perfectly. as pious as donald trump is profane, serious and measured as trump is chaotic. balanced trump temperamentally and also in the culture war

reporter: judge brett kavanaugh, now hoping to occupy the seat of a man he once clerked for, justice anthony kennedyd.c. circuit court of appeals since 2006 and spoke of kennedy during that confirmation process. >> he conveyed to his clerks and certainly conveyed to me to use one of his favorite phrases the essential neutrality of the law. >> reporter: kavanaugh spent years working for independent counsel kenneth starr, helping investigate president bill clinton's affair with monica lewinsky. "the new york times" says kavanaugh urged prosecutors then to question the president about oral sex and masturbation. kavanaugh also helped outline grounds for president clinton's impeachment. later in 2009 kavanaugh wrote "the nation's chief executive should be exempt from time consuming and distracting lawsuits and investigations." some have interpreted this as opposition to the indictment of a sitting president. cnn has learned that the trump white house was aware of these comments during the vetting process. on health care and abortion, kavanaugh has already made controversial decisions. last year he sided

. >> anthony kennedy seat and kavanaugh's experience, correct me if you think i'm wrong, gorsuch worked at the justice department. had political experience. kavanaugh in a much more highly political role in the bush white house. he is being less forthcoming than neil gorsuch who was not exactly mr. forthcoming. fair? >> i think the memo this morning forced him to say more about roe and saying i worked -- >> pro-life president. >> precedent upon precedent. he's a super political figure here in this town as dick durbin called him the zelag of republican politics or forrest gump. >> let's go up to capitol hill. phil mattingly is tracking this. we used the word remarkable, unprecedented. this hearing this morning where you had a democratic senator and then several colleagues say, go ahead. kick us out. go for it. quite remarkable. >> reporter: i believe senator booker called it a spartacus moment. this is the reality that democrats have long been frustrated with this process. kind of a very different process just because of the scope of paper trail for brett kavanaugh. but they haven't nece

alleged assault in july after kavanaugh was shortlisted to replace retiring supreme court justice anthony kennedy. she contacted her congressmember and "the washington post" through a tip line. she took, and passed, a polygraph. after her story began to leak, she changed her mind and decided to go public. her lawyer says dr. cream blasey ford is willing to publicly testify before congress. the attempted rape accusation comes only days at before the senate judiciary committee was slated to vote on kavanaugh's confirmation to the supreme court on thursday. in the wake of the explosive accusation, three senate republicans, senators jeff lisa, bob corker, and murkowski, and a slew of democrats, have said the senate judiciary committee should delay the vote. it was senator dianne feinstein of california who had the letter that dr. blasey wrote, but asked her to keep confidential. 17 people in north and south carolina have been reported killed a tropical which has florence, broken all of north carolina's rainfall records. officials are when the worst of ththe storm may still be yet to come as catastrop

court further to the right and it has little to do with the nominee and everything to do with anthony kennedy who announced at the end of june he was leaving. he often voted with the liberals, you know. he was the swing justice. those days are gone because whoever trump nominates, whether it's brett kavanaugh or if brett kavanaugh's nomination doesn't go through, it's someone else, that someone else will be more conservative than anthony kennedy. that will move the court to the right. so, you know, the stakes are high for the republicans. they want to get the kavanaugh nomination through and get this nomination finished before the midterm elections. that's the key thing here. if this nomination for some reason doesn't succeed and they have to have a new confirmation hearing, for a new nominee, i would think two things are going to happen. one is the fbi's going to be very careful with the background investigation next time around. that will take some time and the average time to confirm a supreme court justice right out of the box is about 60, 70 days. there isn't enough time to do that even

by replacing anthony kennedy who was so often a swing vote cavanaugh could shift the ideological balance of the high court. as for the actual questions tomorrow, -- >> i'm not going to tell you because then he will have time to prepare ahead of time. i will say this, he's smarter than me. >> reporter: intelligence aside these battles can be rallying calls for both sides. in this instance the public may not be all that invested in the fight. there's an ap pullout that shows almost half of americans do not have a strong opinion about brett kavanaugh. at least not yet. in washington with fox news. >>> it is labor day monday. let's check your weather. >> yesterday's high temperatures by the coast was pretty nice but half moon bay was only 61 inland. it was warm to hot. east san jose was 86. downtown san jose was 80 . the fog is back. no changes there. a deep system for this time of year. producing pretty good rain and thunderstorm activity. the roots of activity is to the west of us and in the 60s. 50s or upper 50s in lafayette. moraga 54. 57 . water temperatures have not changed at all. hal

. >> reporter: kavanaugh would replace justice anthony kennedy and his ever important swing vote on abortion leaving the future of "roe v. wade" uncertain. >> so essentially in every major abortion case since kennedy has been on the court, as he has gone, so has gone the court. >> reporter: those on both sides are asking if kavanaugh is confirmed, could "roe v. wade" be reversed? him-makers rikki stern and annie sunberg took a look at the history of this debate and looked at how some women's access to abortion in the wake of "roe v. wade" is being restricted. >> we have to look back at the history to really understand how we got to where we are today that we're living in such a partisan world. we're now looking at a president who promised to elect pro-life justices and overturn "roe v. wade" and that's what we're seeing today. >> reporter: already today there are at least six states with only one abortion clinic. >> i do think that we are at a pivotal moment and we're certainly dangerously close to the cliff in which access becomes completely unavailable to many places in this country. >> re
