they then right afterwards blocked bjork. we turned it into a verb, to bjork.ing back then, was blocking people and calling them racist. not much has changed, by the way. it wasn't a good electoral strategy then, it's not one now. jeff sessions is a very well-liked senator. and i think it's going to be extraordinarily hard for these senators who have worked with him for years to stand up and suddenly say, no, we're not confirming him. we didn't say anything this whole time, but that -- >> sarah, i think you look at the record of mr. sessions, that was not a bjorking. there are some really serious concerns and issues raised about his past, his temperament, the things, quite frankly that -- >> he prosecuted the leader of the kkk and y'all are calling him racist. it's crazy. >> but he also said that the kkk was -- he was okay with them until he found out that they smoked marijuana. >> oh, my god, he was sarcastic. he made a joke and said, yeah, i was fine with them until i found out they smoked pot. sarcasm is lost. >> adam, is the dnc going to spend money and mob

pick could go down as they have in the past with harry meyers, and then robert bjork under the reagan administration. but in the end, donald trump will pick the next supreme court justice. if not more than one, bet though that ginsburg and briar may likely will certainly postpone retirement plans. that's what i was going to get to. she's been very vocal about her hang on for another four years? take to bank she will try to hold on long as her health holds up i do not see any scenario she publicly said what she said she regretted and decided to retire. and say okay, president trump please pick my replacement. it doesn't work that way. but then again, i have to face the realities of age and health too. that's going to be a decision that both of them are going to make. and you know, certainly have the possibility of unexpected things happening scalia. so yes you have at possibility of not one but many more. and with that donald trump has said that he wants a supreme court that would reverse roe v. wade you can't rule out that possibility. he wants reversal same sex marriage. i think that

stepped into the elevator jammed the button and as the door was closing he said unitel hem that bob bjork does not wait for anyone laugh laugh. [applause] that is a true story and the rest as they say is history. shortly after his passing members of the senate were invited to submit into the congressional record statements commemorating his remarkable career. i am sure the federalist society crowd here can see the irony and a request on the congressional record of all things with praise for justice scalia given his sterling sense of humor i suspect he would rather have been joint learning of that. after all we talk about a man who waged a three-year war of legislative history the idea that the congressional record was something more than the public musings of self important legislators who like to hear themselves talk , well, he would have been in use by that and i'm glad that is not a feeling that i suffer from. i can almost see justice scalia leaning back grinning ear to ear to say that is some request how about if they really care they stop passing unconstitutional laws? [applause] iro

the committee indicating that more than 1,000 secret service agents, 1/3 of the agents onboard have bjorked -- worked so many hours that they maxed out their annual overtime and salary. some agents started working overtime for free as of early june and are exceeding the pay cap by as many as $50,000 to $60,000 per agent. current law prohibits them from receiving any additional overtime pay and that is what this bill is intended to fix for calendar year 2016. i would hope that at some point, and these spikes in overtime are a necessary factor in these election campaigns, as we know there were 16 republican candidates in the primary, all that received secret service protection, as well as several candidates on the democratic side. there were countless stops across the country over the months of the campaign, and i don't think there's any way to avoid the need for overtime. i would hope, and i'm glad that this is a bipartisan bill, but every four years we have to have agents working without pay. and there's got to be a way that we can estimate roughly what the overtime needs will be every four

responding, understandably, to the perceived judicial activism of the warren and burger courts, big el, bjork, scalia and others focused on the ocountermajoritarian difficulties in passing virtues. but they ignored the majoritarian difficulties which deeply concerned for the framers. the framers stood for liberty first, majoritarianism second. as only one means toward liberty. their main means was structured federalism. we think of federalism as state prospecting liberty vis-a-vis the federal government but it cuts the other way too, protecting against grass roots tyranny. and that's what justice scalia too little appreciated. was rk for securing it invaluable and he'll be long remembered for that. but let's secure the whole of originalism. thank you. [applause] >> good afternoon, it's great to be here. judge pryor came and visited the harvard law campus back in my day. i don't think he was a judge yet. i think he was rumored or something, it was controversial, a lot of the harvard faculty thought he would commence a reign of terror on the bench, wuns i -- once i heard that, that was probably
