many bar associations such as the national bar association take seriously the appointment, the nomination and appointment of a supreme court justice especially one filling the shoes of justice ginsburg. and there is a process. we need to vet and be able to submit our own recommendations, our own views on each of the candidates. that is part of the american way. that's part of the process. with them rushing like this, what it does, even though we have our teams of scholars, our teams that are vetting and are looking at potential -- right now they're potential nominees, it really in compressing that process and rushing to get someone appointed and confirmed before the election, in less than 45 days t takes away the democracy and it takes away the ability of organizations who are doing proper vetting with their ability to vet the process. we want to know what this person's opinions are on various issues, voting rights, human rights, health care, immigration, all of the things that are important to the american people. no matter what partisan politics play out. with it going through this proc

they were thinking of nominating somebody to a court they would give that name to the american bar association. it was a problem apparently during the reagan administration. it got out the american bar ministration -- american bar association was feeding these names to prepare the opposition research ahead of time and certain conservative groups found out about this and started saying why can't we get that information ahead of time? they stopped sending it to the, that was sort of the background of it. i think what second president bush santa office, they cut it out of the front-end. so under president bush, they found out what everybody else did and they would be able to do their evaluation afterwards. president obama then put them back in the front and position and then when trump took over he went back to the george w. bush plan, which they find out whenever video starts. the trick of that is that we move pretty quickly. at least early there was concern that they weren't able to get ratings out by the time there were hearings. our member commending chairman grassley for just moving ahead wi

host: mike, at the beginning you mentioned the american bar association and specifically pointed outomething that i think could be an interesting factoid many viewers may not know. fact that inut the recent years, the aba review process has been post nomination. expand on that a little bit and how that might have been different and prior it in estrogens. >> the -- and prior administrations. role has varied considerably from administration to administration. history as i understand it was eisenhower was the first president to sort of invite them into the judicial evaluation process and they had a pretty standard role from eisenhower up until george w. bush. when they were thinking of nominating somebody to a court they would give that name to the american bar association and have them run a review. , during the reagan and distraction, got out the american bar association was feeding these names to prepare the opposition research ahead of could certain conservative groups found out about this and started saying why can't we get that information ahead of time? stop sending the informati

and then the judiciary was all matter of the bar association screening and the nomination and process a totally partisan process with the judiciary committee to get the nominee onto the appellate court. and the net result of that we don't have partyline votes there is some ideology so often they have a consensus the people on the right foot for that side and the left on that side so that partyline vote between 2,002,009 the one partyline vote per year but by the time they got through 2010 there were seven partyline votes each year and so what has happened the judiciary system is a bedrock then we struggle with this partisanship. we all heard of gerrymandering that is a congressional district and that goes back a number of decades and then there is three chances to strike down and guess what happened they passed all three times what could be more anti- democratic to get your type of candidate to win but that goes through the supreme court. and that they could deliver more value in that has broken down a significant degree in the united states. >> and without talking the crisis and the

thanks to the bar association for hosting it. just hearing justice kruger's remarks starts a series of memories floating. it -- floating. thank you. i am going to try to pick up on a few of the threads justice kruger talked about and run them through what he called in his memoirs perhaps his most significant majority opinion he ever authored. it was called printing versus new jersey. it was a case that most laypeople, many lawyers would not know by name. i want to talk about that. the justice itself singled that out. i want to weave together the story of justices, the justice's approach to the work and interaction with his colleagues. i wholeheartedly agree one of the defining features of justice stevens was his peers independence -- fierce in terms of his own views and expressing them when they were not otherwise given voice on the court. by the time i clerked for the late justice, he was the lead associate justice with the most than yours he and found himself in a position to do things like a sign opinions or build a coalition.

thank you to the bar association. i'm glad to see so many people interested in this topic, and here to honor the legacy of a justice who served the court for many years and who i think added so much to public discourse about the law. i will say i did not clerk for justice scalia. for justice stevens, excuse me, so i'm sort of the joe six pack of this group here. and i can offer comments that are much less informed than theirs. but what -- let me begin by offering some personal recollections from my time clerking on the supreme court, having seen justice stevens in action. one thing that i think really stood out is just the civility and the humility, the way in which he carries himself and the kindness he showed to everybody, whether they were a law clerk or a justice, and i think the supreme court is a small building. if you work there, you start to learn the names and you start to realize it's a very tight community. and justice stevens was very much a part of that, and he, i think, was unfailingly polite, and i neve

thanks to the bar association for hosting it. thanks for inviting me to be a part of it. hearing the remarks starts a series of memories flowing and it's a neat opportunity to spend time reflecting on the justice in a way like this. thanks. i'm going to try to pick up on a couple of threads justice kruger talked about and run them through what he called in his memoirs perhaps his most significant majority opinion. it's a case that probably most lay people and many, many lawyers wouldn't even know by name. so i want to talk a little bit about that since the justice himself singled that out as an important feature of his juris prudence and as i do that, i want to try to weave together a bit of a story about the justice's pickiapproach to the and his interaction with his colleagues because i wholeheartedly agree that one of the defining features of justice stevens was his fierce independence, not just as a judge in general, but as a member of the court in terms of his own views and expressing them when he felt like there was no -- there was not a voice on the court. but at t

the senate confirmed its first-ever nominee rated not qualified by the american bar association. and it never happened before in american history. once was noth. enough. the senate went on to approve six more trump nominees. not qualified by the - you cannot find qualified lawyers. you can find a lawyer, but even exceed, just means these people are unqualified. what qualifies them is that any of them are in the 30s. they're going to be in the course to my lifetime. and i that that was all rock-bottom. the last friday, one hour after we learned of justice ginsberg his passing, the majority leader issued a release saying wpresident trump company will receive a vote on the floor of the united states senate. the opposite of what he sent out with justice scalia with the majority leader blocked judge garland, when he said the american people should have a voice in the selection of the next supreme court justice. there were 342 days left in president obama his term. 342. there are 119 days left in president trump's term. there are 41 days left before the selection. here's with the histo

the judiciary was all a matter of the bar association screening, if you're really good then you get a chance to get nominated. the nomination process was an attempt to find consensus about which person with the best qualified. that was totally broken down. it's a totally partisan process to get appointed. the parties fight bitterly in the judiciary committee in order to get their nominee on to the supreme court or onto the appellate court or whatever court it is. the net result of that is we used to have in our judiciary, including the supreme court, we didn't have partyline votes. there was a lot of overlap in ideology and thinking on the part of the justices of the court. often they would have consensus, i'll vote yes for this and know for that. what's happened is that is we are seeing more and more partyline votes. the people on the right book for that side and the people on the left foot for the side. today we have been every year, the partyline vote between 2000-2009, partyline votes actually were one per year, the one partyline vote for your in the supreme court. by the time a c
