they thought they would get bob bork. the warren court was deemed to have gone too far and one thing ronald reagan was going to do was appoint justices that will push the pendulum back a little bit. so, in the office of the attorney general the thought was great we will get bork or somebody like that but the attorney general came to them and said, no. the president says i want a. woman unless you really can't find one we are going to have a woman. the problem was that, although society was moving, the law was still very male in 1980. out of 600 federal judges, only eight were women and most of them were liberal democrats. there was maybe one other, cornelia kennedy who was qualified on paper but was not deemed to be the kind of personality that would relate to ronald reagan. and so, very quickly, judge then, arizona court of appeals judge o'connor rose to the top of the pile. with no constitutional experience. she rose to the top of the pile because bill rehnquist was pushing for her. because the chief justice of the unit

there are remarks i quoted from judge bork. we all know the first amendment protects speech. we have to define what speech is and early on the court said speech doesn't include libel so that's why we can ask libel laws though it becomes what is libel? and what the supreme court has done in sullivan and in the cases that came after it is what judges do, they make a reason constitutional determination about what for constitutional purposes these terms should be defined as and when they're talking about public figures, justice brennan ultimately said and he used these words, what he thought the malice standard was was distinguishing the calculated falsehood, the intentional lie on the one hand which has no business being protected by the first amendment even against public officials and speech that the press did not have an awareness was probably false for anybody, not just the press did not have an awareness was false when they published it which should be protected against public officials. i agree with that and that's my answer to the first question and the second question is

where there's a corporate actions where the complex between french german or looks and bork whatever different countries might take over to. tending to in the way because you know collaboration is your financial source i would say you know that i'm a journalist but i'm doing independent filmmaker so when i see collaboration it's not only collaboration but i have to say from my. from my salary have to keep it have to cut my different things to produce film in a low budget do you work with what you have and i also think that and i think this is also interesting for europe because the field funding landscape is changing everywhere right and depending on the political dispensation of countries more films it's difficult to fund films everywhere in the world and more and more people are trusting it like informal sources and independent ways of working and that for me also makes for stories that are much much more interesting because i'm saying that europe has run out of stories i don't think interesting stories don't come from europe anymore when it's from that established see in the in in

i think that reaches back at least to indictment certainly that story as quoted but with the bork brief supports that broader view remember that was the agnew grand jury investigation and in the course of that brief it explains why the vice president did not have this kind of immunity but offered reasons why that would be with the grand jury's work that this is important and said at the end of the opinion this is not true with respect to the president that was a grand jury investigation and subpoena. >> what about the moss memo quick. >> that seems to suggest there are things that can be gathered while the president is still president even if he cannot be indicted while in office. >> the answer is yes but it's not the things he gathered from the president. >> but the tapes gathered from the president of the united states supreme court in the unanimous opinion they will be disclosed even with executive privilege argument that there is no application to presidential immunity to preindictment subpoenas in that case. >> first the president was the third party and not the subject and we rema

bork was ordered to fire special prosecutor cox.l. you kept saying, that couldn't be. but it was. >> i can make no further comment now other than their offices have been sealed by the fbi. >> how could you possibly bring this man to justice if it was within his power to call the investigation to a close? >> please, everyone. >> basically, the president has seized full control of the special prosecutor's office and is in full position of potentially incriminating evidence that could lead to the conviction of his closest associates and to his conviction and that is the definition of tyranny. >> there could be no doubt this was a constitutional crisis. this was are a president trying to stand above the law, and i remember thinking at the time the country is not going to stand for this. >> i think it's amazing that the country is not already fighting in the streets. he's divided the country that much. >> events of the past few days leave us little choice but to move ahead with preparation for impeachment proceedings. >> do you think the

interest test i think we'll would like the court and again we stated in our brief , i believe judge bork provided a very good discussion in the bracy decision and i think the court was quite persuasive in its decision so i would urge the court to look at judge works words there. and the one other thing is again my friend who by the way is a phenomenal oral advocate, i believe what i heard the answer to i believe chief judge thomas's question was no. it's a practical manner and nobody can sue. the appropriations clause can be violated and will by the president in such a major and public way and there really is nothing the courts are going to be able to do about it because we the justice department are going to oppose anybody come into court to try to enforce this absolutely central part of the u.s. constitution with roots going back hundreds of years into british history about the importance of the power of the purse being exercised by the representatives of the people. i have no other questions. >> thank you. good to see you. >> thank you. just a few points in rebuttal if i may. first of

it was robert bork, a controversial figure in his own right, who ultimately fired archibald cox that night. that's a separate debate for another night. but i think that someone like ruckelshaus, and we're almost exactly a year away on november 30th from the one-year anniversary of the death of george h.w. bush, who also belonged to that company of men and women who believed in the system. they believed in the constitution. and they knew that at some point, however imperfect they were, however ambitious, however many things they got wrong, they believed at the end of the day that the system, the country, was the thing that had to come first and their own ambition, however much they had serviced that ambition, however much they had worked and driven through the arena with it, had to take a second spot. >> let's fast-forward to a week from today. second round of the hearings and a new and different committee for television voters -- viewers opens up. tell us what high crimes and misdemeanors may look like in 2019 because the only thing your profession has in common with, say, a supreme

[laughing] >> i don't know them personally, but -- >> no, lee makes the point there's a fast expansion of libel cases out there that are being funded by nefarious dark money, and i'm not aware of them and and i would just like to be introduced to them. [laughing] >> this gentleman here in the front. please keep your questions brief so we can get to as many of them. please wait for the mic, yes. thank you. >> thanks. having heard lee describe an upsurge in at this activity against the press, for example, libel, it sounds like even without a change in the law from a legislature or the supreme court, consequences are being introduced to the press, and thus th

how do you go to a dinner for bork when he was turned down for the supreme court? how do you do it?id simple. i stand up during the standing ovation that i don't clap. you can figure it out. i try to find common ground here and guess what there really is, great if you look. >> dr. safer, have you ever brought mr. brookhiser to a hillary rally? >> i have never gone want to myself. however, i did bring in to a branch of my psychoanalytic colleagues. this was -- >> very early on. were we even married? >> was her of a lot of analysis going on? >> no. >> there was one obnoxious -- obnoxious guy. >> one man called rick crypto nazi. >> he was saying it jokingly. he thought he was saying it jokingly. >> he was attacked me. i went into attack dog mode, which i recommend in the book is one of the things that you -- >> it's one of the rules, defend your spouse. >> and i said, and rick it off. rick is very gracious and easy-going. i said to this band, someone i didn't know, i said, i want you to retract that. that's a serious, extremely serious accusation to make to my husband. he doesn't deser

host: i want to get your reaction to another businessman set to enter the 2020 race, mike bloom borkbloomberg, the former mayor of new york and now a successful businessman is set to announce his candidacy, at aheadhe filed in alabama of the election. today is the deadline in many states. what are your thoughts on michael bloomberg. guest: i have not met him but i know some of his political team. he's a shrewd political operator. if he decided to do this, it means he's calculated a path to victory. i think he stayed out earlier because he looked at biden as a more centrist candidate, now he's looking at biden collapsing in the polls and sees a lane for him. far leftjected the progressive policies of elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, and he will run as a centrist moderate out of new york. you have new york billionaires running and he's invested in the nomination. i don't ultimately agree with his policies, he does like to use government to intervene in people's lives. but i think it's a change in the democratic part may -- primary and he will try to pick up that moderate lane. rochell
