can you explain why you thought brett kavanaugh was a morally bankrupt man?nk you for the question, senator i recognize those statements were overheated rhetoric and a rhetorical advocacy and if by signing the letter i created the impression i would fail to respect justice kavanaugh'sf authority is a supreme court justice or any of the justices authority then i i do sincerely apologize. but i can commit to you today that i would've confirmed as i have throughout my career would respect all of the courts presidents without reservation. >> when the authors of that letter whoever contacted you to sign it, did you have a moment to say we can disagree that's fine that is within the bounds of civilized discord but to call him morally bankrupt we should look into that. >> a i appreciate the question, senator as i stated before i simply signed the letter i understood the statements were rhetorical when i signed it i believe the only intended audience was my law school administration and they would understand those to be rhetorical but i do apologize if by signingin i

then the nomination of brett kavanaugh, and then to top it off -- of amy coney barrett. you may remember the infamous covid superspreader event at the white house marking her nomination just days after ruth bader ginsburg's death, before she was even buried. now, there are a lot of motivations for this, obsession the, key one the one that really mobilizes, much of what was organized was to get rid of abortion, and when you just confront them, when you say the obvious thing, i know what you believe in, they just fly. abortion rights, no, nothing to see here. >> i think the likelihood of roe v. wade being overturned is very in minimal, i don't see that happening. >> this is not a referendum on roe v. wade. >> i do not believe that brett kavanaugh will overturn. >> i would never produce how judge amy coney barrett would rule on the supreme court of the united states. >> the point is that the president also is opposed to roe v. wade, that is on the ballot as well. >> you don't know it's on the ballot? why is it on the ballot? >> because you say -- >> it's not on the ballot?

collins delivered a 45-minute speech going to the mat for brett kavanaugh accused of sexual assault. >> to my knowledge, judge kavanaugh is the first supreme court nominee to express the view that precedent is not merely a practice and tradition but rooted in article 3 of our constitution itself. as the judge asserted to me a long established precedent is not something to be trimmed, narrowed, discarded or overlooked. in short, his views on honoring precedent would preclude attempts to do by self that which one has committed not to do overtly. >> mind you, her reliable republican ally senator lisa murkowski of alaska announced she would break with her party and vote for against beer chugging judge. collins vote helped deliver the 50 votes kavanaugh need and by doing so the so-called ally of abortion rights co-signed their demise. at the time collins was pressed by cnn's dana bash if she was sure kavanaugh wouldn't undermine precedent. here is what she said, indignant the question was posed. >> i do not believe that brett kavanaugh will overturned. >> his precedents are overturned all

do you believe that brett brett kavanaugh is a morally bankrupt person? >> senator, as -- >> sitting here today under oath. >> sitting here today under oath i i can assure you that i respect completely the authority of justice kavanaugh as a newly confirmed supreme court justice of the united states. >> yes, ma'am, but you believe he is morally bankrupt? >> senator, as i stated i respect his authority and the authority of every supreme court justice sitting on -- >> but he believed he is morally bankrupt? >> my personal opinion is not for me, it's not appropriate for me to say. i respect his authority as a supreme court -- >> so you do think he is morally bankrupt? >> i did that say that. >> but you signed a letter saying he was morally bankrupt. >> seven years ago as an alum addressing my law school alma mater i did sign a that a belief was addressed only to my law school administration. >> you didn't think it would be public? >> i did not understand that it would be used as a public advocacy piece, no. i believe it was only addressed to my law school. >

has anyone died as a direct result of brett kavanaugh being confirmed to the supreme court. >> thankquestion, senator. as a stead on —- said before and understood those to be rhetorical advocacy only. i do understand that i have to take responsibility for signing the letter but i would like to assure you, the public and every supreme court justice that i do respect the authority of the court as every justice duly confirmed and iou would follow without reservation all of the courts president. >> you cannot point is y somebody who has died in the last three years as a direct result of brett kavanaugh being confirmed? >> no sir. >> just toat be clear the supreme court issues a ruling b whether that opinion is offered by brett kavanaugh or stephen breyer or clarence thomas you will create it with equal weight and follow it through the ninth circuit. >> absolutely, senator. >> senatoror feinstein. >> justice robinson, i noticed in reviewing your background you have significant experience h in deciding legal disputes. justice robinson you served for more than a decade on the vermont suprem

that's what she said out loud when dana bash questioned her during the confirmation hearings of brett kavanaughieve that brett kavanaugh will overturn. >> he said for a precedent -- a long established precedent like roe to long overdue it would have to be grievously wrong and deeply inconsistent. >> so se, as reported, "roe v. wade" is a dead letter in the state of texas so how koss susan gets that. it could be be -- the mechanism which which the courts could allow that non-chaotic rumg to go forward. these are nine straight people and you would think they would hand texas and texas women a bit more of, you know, stability and a road map going forward, but there are all kinds of problems with this law. i say that as a pro-life person. i'm with the majority of americans who believe "roe v. wade" is settled law and abortion should be legal, safe and rare, and especially this law makes essentially illegal, unsafe and impossible, and i don't think that's good for women. it also just feels really punitive, john, when you're forcing women to carry the child of their rapist or their brother or their f

going back to the nomination of brett kavanaugh in 2018, he saw the republicans who voted in favor ofnd amy cey barrett, another conservative justice, republicans taking a lot of flak to -- i a lot of flak for voting to support them because of abortion. you are going to see this become a major issue. i have been on the phone for abortions rights groups who say they are going to campaign hard r democrats going into 2022 and 2024. ros: i want to be clear on the politics on the state level in texas. it is fair to say that this law is in line with what the majority of voters want? and what republicans in texas would want? >> i have not seen pulling directly out of texas. we know republicans in texas control the governor's offices, and state legislure. they are in control. however, i have not seen direct polling. that being said, nationwide, a poll came out earlier today and found that a slight majority of americans are in favor of allowing abortion to happen in all or most cases. it is unclear whether that is reflected in texas but that is the case across the country. ros: stay with me on

and no one auditioned harder than brett kavanaugh. as a circuit judge, he campaigned through 27 federalist society events. i think he set the record for auditioning at federalist society events. he knew who and he knew where and he also knew what the big donors wanted. so he made sure his circuit court opinions signaled his chops. on abortion, garza v. hargan. okay to force a teenager to wait indefinitely for an abortion as the clock ran. check. on guns, heller v. district of columbia, a dissent in the follow-up case to the supreme court heller decision, in his case one even more extreme than scalia. check. for polluters, p.h. -- waiving the federalist society union taker executive banner, even saying that regulatory agencies are a significant threat -- i'm quoting him here -- regulatory agencies, the things that protect us from pollution and cheaters, are a significant threat to individual liberty. if you're a polluter. check. and most important to this dark money scheme, "emily's list" vfv exr where he said front groups are constitu

if susan collins was deluting herself or being dill luted or simply lying or was lied to by brett k kavanaughveryone knew or most people knew at the time what she was saying was not likely to be vindicated and it now has been proven to be false. but, you know, this -- you know, i remember when i covered supreme court nominations and john mccain always used to say elections have consequences. and donald trump was elected and there were three vacancies during his tenure. and he filled them with abortion rights opponents. that was one of the major issues or should have been in the campaign and now we're seeing the consequences. and believe me, this is just the beginning. texas will be a model for the rest of the country. the red states that want to ban abortion and they are already starting to do it. so we are heading to a system where there will be abortion illegal in major tparts of the country, not the whole country, because many blue states will keep the right, but we are heading very quickly to a system where abortion will be illegal in a third or more of the country. >> jeffrey and joan, t

. >> i do not believe that brett kavanaugh will over tturn -- he says for established precedent like to be overturned it would have to be deeply inconsistent. >> well, justice kavanaugh was part of the majority that didn't fight to honor that precedent. senator susan collins calls the texas law extreme and harmful and in a statement says that she opposes the court's decision to allow the law to remain in effect for now while these underlying constitutional and procedural questions are litigated. the keywords here, "for now." for now, it is indeed the law in texas. and could quickly become the law in many other states. let's hope the decisions of the lone star state do not become our judicial north star. congressman jamie raskin is here. what's he think democrats' priority should be when all this is going on? i'll ask him, right after this. in the romo household we take things to the max oh yeah! honey, you still in bed? yep! bye! that's why we love skechers max cushioning footwear. they've maxed out the cushion for extreme comfort. it's like walking on clouds! big, comfy ones! oh yeah

woman's head, it was okay to defend andrew cuomo because he was a democrat but you can go after brett kavanaughs a republican. >> kat: a very major difference in the way they treated those two situations. even though there was a lot more evidence and a lot more accusers on andrew cuomo side. >> greg: the other issue, dagen. when the head of the works for andrew cuomo. it undermines their whole believe all women because they are not believing his women or his accusers. >> dagen: absolutely. and they actually stepped up and wanted people not to put out a statement, one of the organization not to put out a statement when the women started coming forward. pump the brakes. look at the guy. he is english liberal with power, and if you squint come even kind of looks like harvey weinstein. they didn't know that was going to go against him. i don't have enough life experiences to write about. i don't have enough to put it on the post-it note but i will say one thing and this is going to get me in trouble. if a woman ever tells you, i am a champion of women, no, they're not. they are the first to talk ab

. >> i do not believe brett kavanaugh will overturn -- >> i could not vote for a judge who demonstrated president is not something to be trimmed. >> i asked him is this sufficient if five current sitting justices believe that roe should be overturned and he said no. >> is this the supreme court quote, "reaffirming roe" this week? >> no. it is definitely not doing that. and you know there is this phase. if a couple of months the court is very clear of a direct channel to roe. in the case of mississippi, of 16 weeks. the state is asking the court to overturn roe and a number of conservative groups and pro-life groups are doing the same. there is opportunities for the court. chief roberts had always been hostile to abortion rights in general. that six or five members of the court would constitute a majority to overturn roe. in the meantime, we've got the states. to be fair, ari, the court majority said, look, we're not ruling on any constitutional question here but we shouldn't take this up for procedural reasons. the liberals, not the chief justice but the liberals by and large i think tr

. >> i do not believe brett kavanaugh will overturn roe v. wade. >> the president also is opposed to roe v. wade. that's on the ballot as well. >> you don't know what's on the ballot? that's not on the ballot. you don't know her view on roe v. wade. >> i don't know. >> donald trump a stupid man in many ways but with good political instincts, understanding he doesn't want roe v. wade on the ballot. but he pointed out he only appoints justices who oppose roe v. wade. so the conservative court under justice john roberts, that court has had a few main projects, one of them protecting corporations from government regulation, and that may mean rolling back the sort of jurisprudence, they've been laser focused on rolling back voting rights, and making abortion more difficult. they've been laser focused on that agenda from the beginning. do not believe anyone who tells you that's not what they're doing. they are either idiots or lying to you. now we have arrived at this moment in which the wolf is at the door. i mean, if you don't like abortion right

at the end of the day people like brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett will be remembered as deplorable a person who in real time saw the evil and did what she could to fight against it. i think she won the week because they are decision will stand much longer than these texas anti-abortion wing nuts. >> this is going to go down the dred scott road in terms of their reputation. i needed off the news entertainment to keep me sane during this madness. i am pickingnia decosta. she became this week with 22 million in the bank from august 27 to 29 for her film "candyman." the first woman black director at number one. thank you guys very much. that's tonight's "reidout."

you think the direction under the prior administration, brett kavanaugh, amy coney barrett taking the place of people who were abortion rights advocates or not advocates but they would make decisions that were more toward abortion rights, now those people have taken their place. we'll see how this tees up. there's also another place that the supreme court could weigh in on this texas ban, and that is in an emergency application filed by some abortion providers in texas to try to block this law from going through. they could still rule on that shortly before they get to that mississippi case. >> that could happen today, this morning, this afternoon. julia, stand by for a second. barbara, let me bring you in here. it's important to note this texas law has a provision in it that is different from other anti abortion laws that have passed in other states. that is this is not about state officials who are having to enforce the law, right? this gives private individuals like we talked about the ability to sue, so against as julia said an uber driver, somebody who pays to provide an abortion

statement in her testimony before the committee during the confirmation of now supreme court justice brett kavanaught did you think watching her? >> well, what i thought was, you know, the second part of what i wanted to discuss which is that the process hadn't changed. that the process hadn't changed in any appreciable way, that the process -- that there was still between 1991 and 2018 there still hadn't been put into place a complaint process so that christine blasey ford could submit her complaint about justice kavanaugh's behavior, that it could be fully investigated, and that there could be a fair and open hearing for her to be heard and for there to be a reasonable response to the allegations. and we, as far as i know, there still is no process in place. and that's really the problem in many instances. we talk about the behavior and we talk about the cultural aspects of gender violence and what perpetuates it. but what is also troubling is the fact that we put people who have complaints into processes that are not meant to help them. and we have examples of this that, you know, we have been --

the reality is that trump can scream and yell his way to the presidency, brett kavanaugh can yell and scream his way to the supreme court, but women and minorities simply are not allowed politically to show anger. and the democratic party as a party of women and minority voters, restrain themselves from showing anger or tapping anger. that has all changed. in the recent california recall, the democratic party has become the party of angry vaccinated voters, and there are millions of them. >> you laid it out so well, and it's interesting because i think what you say will be so familiar to people who have been in environments and offices and social places where these double standards kick in. your point is if you're sitting around in the campaign and you've worked on them, you're not changing that, you're trying to get to 50 plus 1. so the obama folks are saying in the longer project of shifting that workplace sexism, et cetera, it's going to happen after november. and yet you're also helping expose some of that why there is this sort of gap. to the point you raise, we were looking at t

ago today, the senate judiciary committee voted along party lines to advance the nomination of brett kavanaughtified that he assaulted her at a party when they were in high school. kavanaugh denied it. for some that brought back memories of anita hill's testimony that clarence thomas sexually harassed her when they worked together. then-senator joe biden chaired that hearing. since thin, anita hill has continued teaching law and policy and women's issues. she has a new book called "our 30 year history to end gender violence." one of the themes is something then-republican senator arlen specter said to you when you testified that clarence thomas routinely talked about porno graphic films in front of you, recounting graphic details about women's body parts. here's what senator specter said back then. take a listen. >> you testified this morning in response to senator biden that the most embarrassing question involved -- this is not too bad -- women's large breasts. that's a word we use all the time. >> that phrase, this is not too bad. you write it's something women almost always hear. it's not

reproductive rights advocates led a protest outside the maryland homof supreme court justice brett kavanaugh one of five conservative justices who refused to halt the texas law. a group of senate democrats introduced new voting rights legislation tuesday after reaching a compromise with conservative west virginia democrat joe manchin. the freedom to vote act includes a ban on partisan gerrymandering, universal no-excuse mail-in voting, automatic and election day registration, two weeks of early voting, and makes election day holiday. the bill, however, does away with some of the provisions of the sweeping for the people act, including the creaon of a voter id requirement, which voting advocates say disproportionately targets low income and communities of color. but the id requirement would be far less stringent than those many states are trying to impose. it's unclear whether democrats can convince republicans to vote 10 for the bill, prompting renewed calls to abolish the filibuster. and in new york, more than a dozen elected officials visited rikers island this week following repeated repo

recent controversy over the fbi's lack of enthusiasm, shall we say, to more deeply investigate brett kavanaugh'sourt confirmation hearings. and you see an agency that i think systematically underplays sexual assault and abuse allegations. that this is an agency that remains far too white, far too male and presumably does not take these cases with the seriousness across the board that it should. and that across the board is an important thing as well because what this -- what the inspector general showed here is a deep level of rot inside the indianapolis field office. for all that we talk about the fbi as this giant monolithic, super investigative agency you have to remember it's made up of 35,000 personnel spread across 56 field offices and 400 smaller resident agencies. and that sometimes there are just offices that are not operating at the top of their game. >> talk to me a little bit more about that. i find that interesting. you say there's no one fbi. there's no fbi per se. it's more of a collection of these 35,000 people. what are the implications of that? >> yeah. and this is something wh

i thought that justices barrett and maybe, excuse me, brett kavanaugh to a lesser extent might have wanted to wait. but this has been a bombshell summer at the supreme court and it's going to impact americans across the country as well as the biden administration. and its new initiatives. >> joan, as always, thank you so much for your report. >>> with inflation on the rise and the delta variant punishing businesses, this fall could really be make or break for the economic recovery. we have cnn's chief business correspondent christine romans here to tell us what to watch. speaking of pivotal, this is a pivotal time. >> it really is. goldman sachs, brianna, this morning trimming its growth forecast for the u.s. economy again because of delta and fading stimulus for consumers. it now sees 5.7% economic growth for this year. 5.7%, that's still the strongest year since 1984. so important context there. the economy is booming, but the head winds are real. big question this fall, can job creation pick up? economy still down 5.3 million jobs since the pandemic began. only 235,000 jobs added back i

fierce opposition to justices the brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett were swept aside.ipping away at abortion rights for decades, but a ground swell seemed to be building again. in direct response to the texas ban, another large scale protest set forth next saturday. this time it's called the rally for abortion justice. now, this new law is deplorable and should be fought tooth and nail, but we also may see it as ushering in a new wave of warriors in the front lines of this fight. joining me to disjust, jennifer who has a new book out, the author of the new book "resistance." welcome to both of you. good morning to both of you. jennifer, let's start there because your thesis of the entire book is that women saved democracy from donald trump, but we haven't really seen democracy saved from the impulses of the democracy of donald trump and of the worst impulses of republicans in this country. i say that only because there are moderate impulses in this country that have a lot of space in the dialogue of where we go right now, but mostly we're seeing the most impulses right

they have surrounded the home of supreme court justice brett kavanaugh and are shouting something like are not the only people who can get pregnant and need abortions. they have supporters comparing pro-life politician to the taliban because it is islamophobic. we will bring you any updates throughout the hour. i think it's important for you guys to see this. this is what democrats do when they don't get their way. they are trying to pressure the court according to should not be put into politics they are trying to patrol car the court. get rid of the court and tell justices to resign. this is what is happening right now. democrats are getting nervous and it shows. gavin newsom recall election is just a day away. the left wing media is doing their best to smear republican opponent larry elder. the "l.a. times" already called elder the black face of white supremacy that wasn't enough. columnist jean went on cnn this weekend to take it a step further. watch. >> refused to answer difficult questions. often uses the few interview that's does give as an opportunity to give a performance on

and he also criticized brett kavanaugh saying he didn't do enough, goes after chris christie, said nikki haley put out nasty statements. the island is down to rudy giuliani, kevin mccarthy and immediate family members. you have a passage in the "vanity fair" piece about president trump committing to the lies with a straight face. and i encourage everybody to read this piece because he goes off on every conspiracy theory. if you had someone in your family speaking the way he speaks to you, you'd call an emergency meeting and say there's something wrong with dad. what is your sense of whether he believes the garbage he's spewing or needs it to be out there to tell himself or his supporters that he did win? >> willie, it's hard for us as journalists to get inside the head of donald trump, but he repeats the lies again and again so often they might be true in his mind. when you're down there talking to him, there's a distorted reality that he's presenting not only to us but to the dozens of guests that come to mar-a-lago every night for dinner and give him a standing ovation out on the patio

i think everyone is watching justice brett kavanaugh certainly since the death of justice ruth baderpromised to put justices on who would rule against roe versus wade and he put three justices on the court. most people think there's a good chance that the supreme court could overrule roe versus wade or make it much easier for states to impose laws that will make it harder for women to obtain abortions the question is, will they take the steps of overruling roe versus wade? it's possible they could we'll have to wait and see what they do with this request to block the texas law could tell us a lot about what they could do when they finally get the mississippi case in front of them they're likely to hear oral argument in december and issue a decision some time next year. >> amy howe, can't thank you enough. >>> a treatment used to deworm livestock. the fda discourages it as a treatment for covid. now a hospital in ohio is being ordered to use it on a patient >>> two years ago, 23-year-old elijah mcklain died after being detained by police and injected with ketamine. grand jury reaches

i also am aware that they did absolutely nothing when it came to brett kavanaugh.ations, very serious allegations by a former high school mate that he attempted to sexually assault her. the issue they had was that they claimed that the fbi did not have jurisdiction to do anything about it. so there's that issue as well. and i'm worried that some of our agencies are not sort of outfitted to protect us at large. >> well, i think you hit the nail on the head, joy. it's that when you say -- when you have a justice that does not reflect america in values and you don't have an fbi that can actually meet people where they are, you miss a lot of big things. if you contrast what breyer did as compared to sotomayor when it came to the abortion ban, it was very clear. her life experience was able to create and provide judgment that actually met the world in the 21st century. and that is what probably is lacking in the fbi is looking at their statistics and saying who is at the table making the decisions. because if it was a young woman speaking to another woman, you better be

here she is promising that not only wouldn't brett kavanaugh try to overturn roe he wouldn't even trydermine it, which is exactly what his vote last night did. >> there has also been considerable focus on the future of abortion rights based on the concern that judge kavanaugh would seek to overturn roe v. wade, protecting this right is important to me. in short his views on honoring precedent would preclude attempts to do by stealth that which one has committed not to do overtly. >> now, agree or disagree on abortion or roe v. wade this appears dpooktly what the majority did overnight. perspective now from cnn chief legal analyst and supreme court historian jeffrey toobin. jeff, what does that 5-4 split among the justices tell but not the fate of just this texas law should it wind up at the court again but also roe v. wade itself? >> well, it tells you that clarence thomas is really in charge of this court now. the supreme court works by seniority. and the chief justice is always senior even if there is a longer tenured justice in the minority. but he is now in the minority on abortio
