even one of the most conservative justices, antonin scalia, had a key vote in both - saying while he doesn't approve of it... it is fundamentally protected. reporters on the hill asked senator john mccain about the issue... here's what he said. politicians have continued to introduce legislation for the past few decades as well as proposed constitutional amendments... but a large majority of those have failed due to the first amendment decision. so now we want to hear from you.. go to 12-news- dot-com-slash- your-voice.. and tell us "do you think people american flag?" we'll update you with live results throughout the show. still ahead on 12 today - do you play tennis? why you may want to pick up and racquet and learn. plus, have you ever seen what 100-million dollars looks so now we want to hear from you.. go to 12-news- dot-com-slash- your-voice.. and tell us "do you burning the american flag?" we'll update you with live results throughout the show. still ahead on 12 today - do you play tennis? why you may want to pick up and racquet and learn. plus, have you ever seen what 100-mil

so donald trump has often praised, alan, he's praised justice antonin skacalia and he talking now --cause he doesn't know anything about justice scalia. he just knows that he was a conservative member of the court and he was pandering to the hard right. what worries me more about donald trump is not the flag burning. most elected politicians would vote to ban flag burning, so that's a close question. what i'm worried about is anything donald trump doesn't like, he'd like to ban. he'd like to ban criticism of him. he's like to ban the large media. he thinks that as president he's going to get his way, and it's going to be free speech for me but not for thee and it's going to come home to hurt him if that ever happened. if he ever eliminated the laws of li bechbel, he's protected b first amendmet. >> what would happen to his twitter account? >> the good news is presidents as powerful as they are don't get to change constitutional law. that's up to the courts. >> that's up to the justices. >> that's certainly true. but i do think that the troubling aspect of this is not his expression -

not just antonin scalia. analysts say the election destroyed the democrats chances for a liberal majority. it's over. republicans now have a chance to set up conservative leaning supreme court for a generation. back in march, president obama nominated the federal judge to the high court after conservative justice antonin scalia died. he has still not had a confirmation hearing. longest wait for any supreme court nominee in the history of our republic. republicans in the senate refused to schedule a hearing saying the next president should fill the seat. let the people speak. ed henry with more on this live in washington. it's not just one seed potentially there are more. >> there could be maybe two or three more after that. right now democrats not happy because they say he was a moderate jurist that president obama put up and not only did he not get a hearing, because of that he didn't get a simple up or down vote. you mention senate republican leader mitch mcconnell said again today at a news conference that

president-elect trump could fill the seat left vacant by justice antonin scalia. feel president obama should have made and the appointment could have repercussions for decades. >> take a look at trump's short list of 11 potential candidates. later trump added asian, hispanic and african-american judges. let's bring in errol lewis for time warner news and michael moore, former u.s. attorney for the middle district of georgia. let's get to that point that snl was making. ruth bader ginsburg is 83 years old. stephen breyer is 78. how possible is it that in a four-year term he may appoint more than one? >> i think there's a likelihood. i think there will be a lot of people praying that justice ginsburg stays healthy as we get through the three, four years. it's very likely he could end up with four appointments. you may have some justices on the liberal side delaying retirement plans to see how things go through the first term and to see if there's a second term. >> let me turn to you, errol. through this list, these baseball cards we call them of the potential next j

just like justice antonin scalia. this is one of the basics protections of the constitution. we can have that debate but let's not go over board every time he tweeting something out. he likes to communicate through twitter. he does a pretty effective job communicating through twitter. sometimes i agree. sometimes i disagree but i'm not going spend all my day muse aggregate b the tweets he puts out. >> it is one thing when a it is the president elect taking an opinion on twitter about what should be constitutional, not and what the supreme court should be doing not and who -- >> i do want to move on. >> i hope that next time a democrat starts talking about taking away our second amendment rights and shrinking our -- >> when the democrat is the president of the united states or the president elect, that is the difference. >> obama did many times. and clinton did many times and it wasn't the whole media just exploding like you are doing about this issue. >> i would not put this as exploding. i can show you exploding congressman. >> okay. sounds good. >> but went woe do that. let

has more. >> reporter: it's a pressing issue for the new president, nominating a replacement for antonincalia on the supreme court, with republicans keeping control of the senate, president obama's nomination of judge merrick garland, which languished for eight months, is now dead. trump earlier released two lists of potential nominees, mostly federal judges, many in the conservative mainstream. replacing justice scalia with another conservative won't change the makeup of the court, but there could be other vacancies coming. ruth bader ginsburg is 83. she turns 84 in march, though she will likely remain in a trump administration as long as her health permits. but anthony kennedy, a reagan appointee who has voted with the liberals on gay rights and abortion, is 80. and stephen breyer, appointed by bill clinton, is 78. in either of them were to be replaced by donald trump, the court would be more conservative and might revisit recent rulings against restricting access to abortion and favoring gay rights. >> with each of those, we have relatively recent decisions. so the court would have to

president obama nominated him shortly after justice antonin scalia died suddenly in februrary. the senate still has not moved towards his confirmation. if he's not confirmed--- the next president will have to appoint the next justice. and--- for a position that is supposed to avoid party lines --- the distinction couldn't be ce would reflect liberal values. amy howe her primary critera would be looking someone who is more sympathetic to campaign finance side and someone who would be very supportive of reproductive rightsand trump is promising to nominate a conservative justice like scalia. amy howe he has pledged to appoint pro life jsutices. i think he would also appoint a justice who felt very strongly about the second amendment right to bear armsbut the bench- will largely depend on the layout of the senate. in fact-if clinton wins--- republican senator ted cruz vowed to keep the seat open. cut the rest of sentence he noted the constitution does not require nine justices to sit on the bench. tb: 5239 the court continues to work no matter how many justices there are on the fl

grassley's armor, his refusal to of president obama's pick to replace late supreme court justice antonin scalia. grassley has the power as chair of the senate judiciary committee. judge says the move is all political-- that grassley is stalling to keep a left- leaning judge from what was a conservative spot on the bench. grassley says he's just keeping up with tradition. "for 30 years, democrats have said when we have republican presidents-- if you have a vacancy in the last year of the presidency-- the people ought to have a voice. the new president ought to fill it." grassley's alluding to these an election year and there were whispers a justice was going to retire. "president bush should follow a majority of his predecessors and not name a nominee, until after the november elections." like grassley, biden was judiciary chair at the time. he's said his words from that speech have been "mischaracterized". biden points towards the end, when he calls for the senate and president to compromise. cooperates with the senate or moderates his selections absent consultation, then his nominees ma

antonin: to some extent. do agree with valentijn's comment that the fact that the assets reacted ok potentially explains why it is still in. i would question one thing. we called it risk on for the last week. but the biggest asset in the world, the 10 year u.s. bonds, has been in a risk off environment. credit, which is moving in tandem with bonds, it has also been risk off. what has been different in equities -- we would call it a mechanical rally -- is quality is going lower and value is going higher. areeels like the markets going up, but the real story is under the surface. the moves at the s&p r.o.k.. -- are ok. the lack of correlation is gigantic. francine: if yields go up, and we saw the yields go up on the 30, the 10, and the two-year treasuries, it may be more difficult for the u.s. to fund itself. we talk about bond vigilantes. are they, at the end of the day, going to keep the spending plan on track? antonin: i guess some of the inflation moves, the fiscal -- the market needs to revamp. it may get

as repugnant as we find it, as repugnant as antonin scalia found flag burning he understood what the that is what he did. that is what these men and women are protecting, first amendment rights as horrible as it looks. scalia called them weirdoes. meghan: totally agree with you. i hear what you're saying. i look at the college, if you read further into the story, they lowered flag out come to the election. they're doing, that is kind of amazing to me, that the school is doing this. they also cost $60,000 to go to this school. median income in this country is $54,000. what a luxury to sit at this school and burn this flag. wow, those kids are really privileged. eboni: spoke about it last week, i hate extraction of patriotism on campuses but in community. i think that is again, we're going full circle here. that is where the pride around belonging can come from. that could be a food resource for it. i would hope the college and other communities go back to that we can disagree right, but still find pride. >> i lovett rans are out there -- love the veterans flying the flag and wearing j
