not to say we don't like you to do bork in your homes, we -- to do work in your homes, but maintenance will help home repair. i have some slides here. let's take a quick peak here -- peek here. we'll look at the outside buildings first and inside buildings next. outside buildings are typical maintenance issues. a whole plethora of maintenance issues. the siding, the windows, the doors, the stairs, the sidewalk, the landscape. so let's just look at a couple different kinds of buildings and the typical problems they might have. so, for example, here's a building with final siding. what kind of maintenance do we need with the vinyl siding? we have to wash the thing, that's for darn sure. what do you think? >> it's got to be washed, caulked, checked to make sure water is not getting behind the siding. >> caulking is not a replacement for good flashing. caulk something sort of a -- an interim waterproofing material that has to be maintained. if somebody says, we have a leak, let's caulk it, what that means is we've got a temporary solution that's going to leak some more unless you maintain

bork did not hold back. of course he was not confirmed either. that left its own message, but there was no hesitancy to express positions at that point. >> i was going to add, we are focusing just on supreme court nominations. it is worth saying a word about the lower federal court. the reason is the supreme court hears such a tiny percentage of cases. last year the supreme court for the entire term decided 73 cases. this year will probably be about the same number. everything else is left to the lower federal courts. one difference between republican presidents and democratic presidents is republican presidents use much more of an ideological litmus test for lower federal court judges than democrats. if you look year, reagan, bush, and bush compared to clinton and obama, the republican nominees have overall been much more conservative than the democratic nominees have been liberal. also, what we have seen over the last couple of years in the obama administration is that the republicans have used the filibuster far more for the obama nominees tha

i remember judge bork who was savaged here by the other side in the united states senate; one of the greatest political and economic thinkers, but most importantly judicial thinkers i've ever known. and he was savaged for remarks that were not any less or not any more than goodwin liu. in closing, the fight over judicial nominees is really a fight -- is really a fight over judicial power. judges must either take the law as they find it, as the people in their elected representatives make it or judges may make the law into whatever they want it to be. those are the two choices. our liberty requires that people to whom the constitution belongs alone have authority to change it. our liberty requires judges who will be controlled by that constitution. president obama and professor liu instead advocate a judiciary able to control the constitution, to change the constitution, to literally create from scratch a new constitution, or at least new provisions of the constitution. that will destroy our liberty. when i look at professor liu's record, i see that he consistently and strongly advoca

. -- rather desperate the limitations, and the importance of bork against tyranny. >> thank you. i wondered -- i will be heading up the court committee and senator sessions is the ranking republican. what do you see is the greatest challenge facing the federal judiciary right now. >> i feel like it would be presumptuous of me to comment on that question having not made it to the job yet. >> trying really hard, though, you must have some thoughts. >> i do not have more thoughts on this than any layperson might have. i have paid attention because of my own involvement. i had observed many claims made about the crushing caseloads that have affected not just the ninth circuit, but many of the circuit around the country. that attest to the importance of this process and some of the challenges that he will face in the years to come. >> thank you very much. i think about myself as a student in law school and somehow they got through this committee and they got to the senate. i hope that the same will happen with you, professor. you have great credentials, thank you. >> that concludes ou

>>host: i was disappointed in the south carolina tea party four infighting judge bork was is sponsoreds out of the state building. he i thought he was there last time because he was better known. but i think the tea party is that a point* where they need to reach out to people who are more credible and can get elected a and broaden their support.n >> ron paul cheapens himself by getting on the stage with these clowns. it is a new world baltimore. you're on with craig crawford talking politics. >> caller: hello? you mentioned this briefly earlier, somebody asked about grover norquist? the new house republicans had to sign a pledge where they wouldn't raise taxes and also the new senators. i my question to you, i did not watch the debate that i want to verify whoever runs on the republican side come i cannot imagine they have been running on not
