this is harry blackman. he was from minnesota, conservative lawyer, a judge first appointed to the federal bench by dwight eisenhower. he became richard nixon's second apointment to the united states supreme court. but blackman was not the first pick. the first picks got dissected during the confirmation process. both of them were rejected by the senate which was a big and embarrassing blow for nixon. so, for his third try, nixon chose blackman because he was seen as so uncontroversial he would be hard for anybody to vote against. >> judge blackman made a good first impression and the senators will vote to decide his fate and barring the unexpected his nomination should sail through. thus far no one has even asked to testify against him. but the unexpected aural has occurred twice, so most senators still are not committing themselves. >> we find a super uncontroversial guy strategy worked for that nomination. harry blackman's nomination to court was unanimously approved by the u.s. senate. on june 9, 1970, h

justice blackman's daughter said he always traveled with security after that. >> blackman who used to go alone on walks has been under protection since receiving letter last fall and another last week threatening him with death. anti-abortion demonstrators have singled out blackman for his decision decriminalizing abortion. >> that's how the modern day abortion wars have been fought in this country from day one, with violence and the threat of violence always hanging in there. when the supreme court cleared the way for legal abortion in every state, clinics sprang up all over the country to accommodate women who were coming out of the shadows to access this now legally protected procedure. but as quickly as abortion clinics opened their doors, organized opponents gathered trying to shut them down. >> after the supreme court legalized abortion, an abortion clinic opened in st. louis. anti-abortion groups have been picketing ever since. they also got the legislator to throw up various roadblocks to abortion. >> by the 1980s and '90s this is what it was like to be an abortion provider in

one about justice blackman was called "the emotional ju jurisprudence of harry blackman." poor joshua, have i to tell that after i wrote that, i clerked the same term, said he'd been working on a case called shmuck versus united states and glad it wasn't poor shmuck. . you're saying that really was wrong, justice blackman was not primarily a top-down emotion emotionalist but driven from the bottom up from the facts. >> that's what i saw. >> and that influenced you. jeff, you've heard the clerks on the previous panel give particular examples of either personal encounters with the justices or especially illuminating moments that really changed their philosophy. you emerge from your clerkship preferring justice scalia's textualism and originalism to balancie ining although you com them both, but can you share with us a moment of two with the justices that helped push you in the that direction? >> i really -- it was so much fun to listen to this last panel and think a little more than i usually do about the roots of where i am and my problems. i think i took half from both of

as bob blackman says, the end of tenancies isa blackman says, the end of tenancies is a massive issueey find themselves homeless. what we need to look at is the scale and increase in the problem and ask the question, why has it increased so much that so many young people are facing homelessness. we have 120,000 children facing christmas in temporary accommodation. and that's exactly why we are talking about it. it's not about identifying the problem, it's about asking you as politicians how you solve it. there are a whole raft of issues, many of which were put into practice in previous years, so we have some good learning here. the first is to get those who are sleeping rough off the streets and to physically build the homes they need to live in. the second is to give the support they need, so when we talk about support with bereavement or mental health issues, all those support systems have been pulled away so when you have been pulled away so when you have that crisis it is much harder to find help, so we need to put those support systems back in place. but we need to look at the wi

there is kirsty blackman. apologies, we have got to you now. to hear what the conservatives are saying about that today, saying they would bring overall immigration down without putting any real detail on it. the snp has a very different approach to immigration in scotland. you would like to encourage more people to come there, wouldn't you? absolutely, we would. looking at our plan for the future for scotland, we would like to encourage people to come here and we would like to encourage eu nationals to come here and we would very much like full freedom of movement to continue. we've got the social and cultural benefits of having so many people come and be welcomed in scotland but also the economic benefits. every eu national that lives here as on average £10,400 to government revenue average £10,400 to government reve nu e every average £10,400 to government revenue every year. if we cut immigration, government revenue will go down. we will have less money to fund the nhs, for example. we have had figures this week, speaking about revenue, we

he rise along with state adjuster following blackman challenge whether they were indeed valuable arrestors. basically saying too many black people voted we believe they should be investigated. the new york times ran an incredible story about this.gi he also challenged latino groups whenwh they had the audacity to register the community. by the time we got to the november 2018, my evidence of his bad action was leisured. more important, what we knew was that more has to be done. what fair fight was doing is doing, building the capacity of citizens to fight back. not to fight back against secretary of state but. to figt back against the national system of voter suppression because we have to recognize while voter suppression was a singular example of what happened in 2018, it's not fully committed to georgia. we know across the border suppression is alive and well. in the state of texas, there was a law pending thatl, would criminalize driving people to the polls. luckily at the very end it was voted down but the problem is, it made it that far. 90000 african-americans were registered to vot

that is still unknown but perhaps my guest might have some more light to shed on that this is josh blackman who actually used sided with the government in filing a brief for this very court i did explain to me 1st what is the reasoning that you support the trouble ministrations position that dhaka is illegal our position with the cato institute is that docking is a good policy but congress to not give the president the power to enact this unilaterally and because dr was contrary to law the press was justified winding down dr and we saw that the conservative justices really got to the heart of what you were saying questioning the government attorneys as well as the plane the defenders of the of the dhaka but how do you think that this thing will fall i mean we still we do have a slim majority carried by the conservatives here i think this case will probably 'd rule for president trump but i'm very narrow grounds when the basic questions is this ken doll because rescission and the cancellation of dr even be reviewed in the courts the government argues that this is not subject to judicial revi

let's get more on this with kirsty blackman, deputy leader of the snp's westminster group. debate? well, ithink, as going to be taken before the debate? well, i think, as the lib dems have said, as she discussed, we will look very carefully at the judgment, we haven't got the full details yet and we need to look carefully at that before we decide what to do, but i think it is hugely disappointing this decision has been made. looking at what we have heard today from other party leaders talking to business at the cbi, the conservatives say they will postpone any cut in corporation tax, that will save, they say, five or £6 billion. yes, so the conservatives and the labour party have both upset the cbi today over their immigration proposals. the cbi have been very unhappy with the fact there will be a skills shortage with the conservatives and with the labour party, they say there will be extreme ideology and a crack in the foundations of the economy. the proposals that we are putting forward a much more pragmatic in this space, so we are very keen on freedom of movement contin
