of my favorite things i remember him saying is he used to talk about one of his former clerks, brett cavanaugh, who was my boss, who said, brett was always working hard. i would say go home, brett, it's too late. you have to have a life outside of work. he told that story a lot of times about judge cavanaugh. >> correct me if i'm wrong, i believe this is the first time a sitting supreme court judge has had one of his or her clerks

and attacking brett cavanaugh. always the attackers have the slight edge. it is easier to make a charge than refute it. >> thank you for being with us tonight on this big night. it is nice to have you here. >> always a pleasure to be with you, rachel. >> thank you very much. what she was saying there about the declining responsiveness of nominees at their confirmation hearings over time, in the case of brett cavanaugh that will run up against this interesting thing, that he does have a paper trail a mile long. not only 300 opinions he's authored in the d.c. circuit, which deals with a lot of the naughtiest issues that comes before the -- never do homonyms on television. there is also his record, an extensive record in the george w. bush white house and his time in politics. that will all be up for discussion. you heard several references to rowe v. wade and whether or not judge cavanaugh, if he's confirmed, would be the justice to cast a deciding vote to overturn rowe v. wade or get rid of the right to legal aborti

so, is there a litmus test for brett cavanaugh?cannot be, he cannot have made and he will not have made a commitment on to vote in any particular way on any particular issue. why? because it would really be inconsistent with the integrity of the judicial process and frankly would be inconsistent with the oath to make a promise. this is the way i'm going to vote. this is not congress. >> you are saying, no promise on abortion and no promise on anything else? >> if i know brett cavanaugh and i do, he will not have promised to vote in a particular way. he will as i'm sure you will hear time and time again say, i will listen to any position within reason. and i will listen to it respectfully and there's the other thing, he is one vote and there's a process, you are in the room as a supreme court justice, just yourselves, you do not have staff giving you guidance or direction. it's the nine men and women that were chosen to serve in this very important function and that in itself is a weighty consideration to listen to your colleagues,

i suspect brett cavanaugh will not have an issue with him because there's oversight.with the oversight. not you don, but meaning voters. with an independent counsel if that independent counsel were to go in a direction that the country posed, there was no elected oversight and with a special counsel although there's been a lot of fear that trump would exercise his power to fire mueller through his deputy attorney general, the truth is there's oversight. i don't think brett cavanaugh will have any issue with the special counsel's existence. >> i want to talk about the fbi director christopher wrey. he was asked about the mueller investigation. >> i do not believe he's on a wimp hunt. it's a man i've known to be straight shooter. >> i don't think it's a kwiwitc hunt. the president calls it a witch hunt. that's a direct rebuttal. >> it is. it's consistent with what they have said. it's being carefully supervizzed. it's been well within the mission and mandate and it's been very productive. we've seen this support from the fbi and from doj for the special counsel investig

judge brett cavanaugh, d.c. born and raised was a justice. now along with justice himself, neil gorsuch. he helped write the camstar report and even investigated vince foster's death. he's also a marathon runner, so he will be ready to run the gauntlet on the hill. judge raymond kethledge is considered a d.c. insider. he likes to hunt and fish, and he often writes from a spot in the barn with no internet. he also has written a book and that mark ten years on the federal bench. judge amy kony barrett had a lot of tough questions from senators franken and durbin. they focus a lot on her devout catholic faith and it's quite a backlash from a lot of folks who said those questions were inappropriate. she was a clerk for justice antonin scalia, and she has a law professor and writer profession. judge thomas hardiman likes things from guns to religious liberty. he was a first and his family to graduate from college and he put himself through georgetown law school by driving a taxi. no matter whom the president picks, with senator mccain away from wa

unlike brett cavanaugh whoette went to nail law school, justice kethledge is a wolverine, university ichigan. his judicial record is not as comprehensive as cavanaugh. judge jamie barrett is drawing fire from democrats who fear she would overturn roe vs. wade. her support for overturning judicial precedent if she believes they were erroneously decided. i'm told the president would like to appoint a would map and nominating her would effectively put democratic senators like joe manchin, joe donnely and tim cain into a box they voted to confirm her last year. regardless of who the president nominates, there's going to be a big battle in congress over the confirmation. as you pointed out at the top, trace, this would 'ment a 5-4 conservative majority in the court for decades, years if not decades to come. listen to maryland senator benl carden speaking about this. >> clearly the president is looking at a list prepared by an extreme group that has an agenda that really wants to just ratify the president's policies. i think what the american people need to be concerned about is we're talki

and then brett cavanaugh is one of the most distinguished jurists in america.not a natural that he is being mentioned. he has over 300 opinions. he is respected by both sides on the political and ideological spectrum and 80 barrett, similarly is one of the most talented and distinguished women in the legal academy anywhere in the country. former law clerk to justice scalia. as someone who, again, people across the spectrum greatly admire. >> chris: i want to ask you specifically about circuit court judge brett cavanaugh, who as you point out is one of the front runners. he has written that the president, not this president, any president should be exempt from "time-consuming and distracting lawsuits and investigations which would ill serve the public interest, especially in times of financial or national security crisis. given the fact that president trump is now facing lawsuits, given that he is no dealing with a special counsel, wouldn't be any kind of a conflict if you were to pick somebody like brett kavanaugh, who is on record was saying he's opposed to th

sean: it is official the president has nominated brett cavanaugh to the supreme court the second timen 18 months to have the opportunity to send a judge to the highest court in only a lifetime position and move to shape that it may makeup of the u.s. up in courtho and the judicial philosophy which was so important of judge kavanaugh and we will show you all the ways predictably the democrats will try to obstruct which is his constitutional daddy. with the fear mongering and the character of judge kavanaugh. you heard him in his own words we have over 300 opinions he has written and is considered a brilliant judicial mind. tonight we have the corrupt tonight we have the corrupt and tied trumpnd agent to give you a preview this is a busy week. he will testify in public on thursday. and also as the president in brussels and london and helsink helsinki, we will be in all three locations will be one of the busiest new cycles in years. tonight's breaking news, a new supreme court justice nominee. nominee. monologue straightahead. >> we will talk to the president'slk attorney. besides making

mcconnell: yesterday i had an opportunity to theesterday, i had opportunity to meet with judge brett cavanaugh. impossible not to come away impressed. has an all-star legal resume, topflight academic credentials. his extensive judicial record is defined by fairness, thoroughness and analytical precision. i was already confident the pred had made -- the president had made an outstanding choice. now i'm even more confident that my colleagues here and americans around the country won't have to take my word for it. just look at one of judge kavanaugh's former professors at yale law school. here's what professor akhil amar wrote in "the new york times." it is hard to name anyone with judicial credentials as strong as judge kavanaugh. current faculty at yale law describe him as a, quote, true intellectual, and a wonderful mentor and thinker to our students. even at harvard, his alma mater's archrival, a scholar agrees that judge kavanaugh is, quote, a generous, honorable, kind person. or ask the legal professionals who clerked for him on the d.c. circuit. they are in a better position than most to s

brett cavanaugh, the steady washington insider. he served for the same court, that serves as a stepping-stone. he has worked for kennedy. he has ties to george w. bush. raymond, he is less high-profile. a bit of a loner. he is also less controversial, which could help him get confirmed. and then there is amy coney barrett. the only female finalist. seven children. she is a devout catholic. her writings have raised a red flag with a very critical republican senator. she fears that she might overturn roe v. wade. trump will make a decision on sunday, on monday a big primetime announcement. something he made it official during that rally in montana. listen here. >> if you tune in on monday. you'll be extremely happy. i want to think justice kennedy for his lifetime of truly distinguished service. he had confidence in me. he left he he said you are going to pick someone great. >> and they are now putting pressure on susan collins. one liberal group is planning on spending millions of dollars on advertising and activism and the home sta

tonight, it is my honor and privilege to announce that i will nominate judge pratt -- brett cavanaugh to the united states supreme court. [applause] >> mr. president, i am grateful to you. and i'm humbled by your confidence in me. announcer: brett kavanaugh of the united states courts of appeals is president trump's nominee for the supreme court. >> i am pleased with the nominee the president has chosen. after talking to him yesterday morning, i look forward to supporting his nomination and doing whatever i can to ensure his bipartisan confirmation. if judge cavanaugh is confirmed, women's freedom to make decisions about their bodies, reform store health care system, the quality of our era and -- air and water, and much more will be at risk. >> frankly, i cannot think of anybody who was more qualified to serve as the next associate justice of the supreme court. announcer: follow the confirmation process on c-span through congress as judge kavanagh meets with key senators, the senate confirmation hearings, and the vote. watch live on c-span, watch anytime on c-span.org. or listen with

one thing i know about brett cavanaugh, on a very broad level, he's got great character, great judgment, great compassion, great intellect, i think he'll be a really good supreme court justice. >> all right. thank you gentlemen. always a pleasure to have both of you on. >>> when we come back, we're going to brach down racial comments. each down racial comments. k down racial comments. this car is literally my baby. which is why i use armor all ultra shine wash wipes. they effectively remove dirt, dust and grime with no water. that car is in tip top shape! we are both in tip top shape! armor all, it's easy to look good. ♪ lean on me, when you're not strong ♪ ♪ and i'll be your friend ♪ ♪ i'll help you carry on ♪ ♪ lean on me. the chili pepper sweat-out. not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that's cool! coolsculpting safely freezes and removes fat cells with little or no downtime. and no surgery. results and patient experience may vary. some common side effects include temporary numbness, discomfort,and swelling. ask your doctor if coolsculpting is right for you and v

two of the main people he's looking are brett cavanaugh and judge amy barrett. of them are conservative. interesting choices for a different reason. cavanaugh has an interest with george w. bush. barrett is 46. when she ran -- when she was selected by trump in 2014, her confirmation hearing were tricky. she was drilled about her catholic faith. >> you hear a lot of rumblings about the white house to bring in a woman so that you have your first woman conservative on the bench. is that just talk or is there something there? >> it's no doubt something that is -- they're thinking about. when we talked to the president on air force one friday, he mentioned there's two women and the top five candidates. clearly the president and the white house are focusing on the long-term when they're making this choice. they're looking for somebody that would uphold the law and uphold conservative principles that the president talked about as a candidate. politically, you can't rule out the politics of this move and choosing a woman. something that might help the president with in

> reporter: one potential nominee is hitting some push back from top republicans, field judge brett cavanaugh. he worked in the white house under president george w. bush. >> he'll be a good umpire and a good judge. don't be a jerk. >> reporter: he's also said judges should be willing to change. >> it means having an open mind, a willingness to change your mind. that's something that judges have to do. >> reporter: some republicans are worried he won't be a reliable conservative vote. abc news has learned gop senators rand paul, tom cotton and ted cruz called the president to express concerns. sources tell abc news the anti-abortion rights groups are pushing for judge amy coney barrett, a devout mother and catholic. that formal announcement will in a prime time event on monday night. >>> breaking news now regarding the trump administration. the associated press is reporting that a federal judge in sacramento that ruled that private employers must comply with federal orders seeking information about immigrant employees. the trump administration's effort to block two other california laws faile

not somebody like a scalia, but sort of a main screen conservative.th president may go towards brett cavanaugh is more like a john roberts. i do think there's no doubt this e urt is going to move to right. roberts is now the new swing vote, not necessarily, yes, it's not kennedy, but roberts member, joined the liberals to save obama care, yes, we will be more conservative than kennedy as a swing voter, i don't know if'l be taking the hard right turn that people fear or hope. i think it's going to be more of a drifut >> of new york, we saw some news with this 20-year-old, exandra cortez beating the incumbent. >> to me it was more emblematic of the gulf between washington democrats and the rank and file ght now. and it's not surprising that nancy pelosi or chuck schumer right now, the leadership of the decade might be out of touch with it's rank and foul. but crowley, was supposed to be the next speaker of the house, that most people thought he would be. turns out he's out of touch too. he didn't see thi coming. it tells many ethts me t the de party in washington doesn't understand the movement

brett cavanaugh is 53, raymond kethledge is 41 and amy coney barrett is 41. very conservative. cavanaugh comes from the bush administration. he's closely aligned with george w. bush which some people have seen as a potential weakness for him with trump who has had his beef with the trump administration. amy coney barrett is a a mother of seven. that come up in her confirmation for appellate court judge, keptledge wrote a book about how he likes leadership as a personal kind of lonely enterprise, so less of a high-profile but all three of them closely watched. >> he's a michigander, he likes hunting. >> the president is said he's not interested in selecting a supreme court nominee who is going to engage in judicial activism. what's the message that he's trying to send here? >> i think he knows that this confirmation battling in the senate is going to be extremely difficult. considering all of these are conservative candidates, some more so than the others. but and he's facing this slim majority where really he only has room for one gop defector, if even that. s

congratulations again. >>> brett cavanaugh is spending a third day on capitol hill making! ing lawmakers that could make him justice cavender. -- cavanaugh. so far they have been supportive with some even predicting that they could pick up democrat votes from states that trump voted for in 2016. >> if we have 51 votes to pass them i think democrats will jump on board but they will be hesitant. >> democratic opposition seems to be coalescing around an effort for the moderate republicans. joining the democrats to launch a coordinated campaign ahead of the confmation. spending $10 million to highlight the stakes on key issues like his healthcare and abortion. >> supporters see it as a way to not sink the abomination -- keep the red states from supporting cavanaugh. >> we are trying to rise to the challenge here, and try to put 10 chili oppose this nominee. >> the two most likely defectors because of their support for abortion rights. both are remaining noncommittal for now, but, flipping their votes could be a challenge for democrats unless cavanaugh indicates a desire to overt

and that highlights brett cavanaugh's role as a political actor, as the lead author of the ken starr report. he was a lawyer who was involved on the bush side in the bush v. gore recount issue. he was involved in all sorts of partisan republican fights over the years. and, therefore, crgrappling wit these issues of presidential accountability. the issue is when you are getting named to the supreme court and there is no supreme court precedent on these matters, this supreme court will essentially be called upon, if these things come to them, to create supreme court precedent on these matters. he won't be bound by anything the supreme court has done before because the supreme court has never grappled with whether a president could be indicted. he's on the record saying that would be a terrible thing that would happen. but, again, this all has to be fought over by people who are now going to start going over the millions of pages of documents that make up his public record. >> rachel, if i could talk to one harvard law school professor tonight about this nominee, it would be professor e

we are looking at brett cavanaugh, amy barrett, people he interviewed in the last couple of days. if the president brought in somebody who wasn't on the list, if he had expanded it we would have heard about it by now. it is unlikely that the conservative legal leaders in washington, d.c. who have dominated the president's thinking on the supreme court would let that happen. at the same time though, this is setting the stage for a bruising confirmation process. it is going to be all eyes on susan collins. there is a good likelihood she'll be a tough vote for the white house to win over in large part because she said she doesn't want a judge that will overturn roe v. wade. she's one of the few pro choice republicans in senate. that said, the white house will lobby to get her on board. it could be a challenge for them. >> natasha, i'm curious about that with susan collins. she said roe is the issue with her. she's been saying, hey, let's look beyond the list out there of these federalist society approved. but if that's what donald trump comes up with, i'm trying to square those threa

"the washington post" bounty incurred credit card debt to buy washington nationals tickets for friend. a more charged issue is will a more right-leaning court overturn roe v. wade? already some states are laying the groundwork. west virginia has a valid element ballot measure that if agreed to will remove protection rights for funding. another amendment would have them alabama's constitution to give rights to a fetus. indiana will soon decide whether the challenge that's ruled the state cannot ban the abortion of a child. separate court of appeals are now considering whether texas, arkansas and alabama can prohibit second trimester abortions. the aclu has already challenged a similar kentucky band. it's cases like these that have pro-choice advocates more worried than at any time since the 1

two leading contenders are federal appeals court judges brett cavanaugh and amy barrett. cavanaugh has the credentials the president wants and is the favorite of the establishment. at his confirmation hearing in 2006 he said as an appellate judge he considered roe settled law. >> if confirmed i would follow roe v. wade faithfully and fully. >> barrett is a favorite of the grass roots and would most fire up the base. >> my personal church affiliation or religious believes would not bare in my duties as a judge. >> democrats focus on her catholic faith to suggest she would overturn roe versus wade. >> dogma lives loudly within you and that's a concern. >> that backfired on democrats amid allegations of antireligious bias. barrett was narrowly confirmed garnering three democratic votes. >> the president said he will be talking to two contenders that are front runners. it's possible others could emerge. and this nomination has to be airtight so they have a new justice on the bench when the court returns the first monday in october. jan crawford, cbs news washington. >>oh man
