i personally think brett kavanaugh always is sending mixed signals and always giving hope to the other side but typically ending up firmly in the right-wing camp and that's what happened here. >> the investigation into that leak continues. it began may 3. any discoveries? >> reporter: so what we found out, as we previously reported the marshal of the court, gayle curly, had already asked the one-year law clerks to sign affidavits related to the leak and turn over cell phone information. i learned in doing this story, ana, she had also sought electronic devices from some of the key full-time staff in the justice's chambers. they've been very aggressive towards these employees and there's been really mixed resp responses with some of the clerks feeling they have been invaded. they are still investigating vigorously. there's sentiment wondering whether the culprit will ever be found. >> wow. it's so interesting, joan biskupic. great reporting. >>> ahead for us, another sign the justice department's own investigation into the january 6th capitol attack is revving up. up next, why the grand

especially with brett kavanaugh who counts ambivalent and sends mixed signals but then in the end sidedith the far right to decide how much encouragement he might have given to the chief. assigned it, his vote was solid, but he never said that he wasn't going to listen to the chief. so the chief kept trying. the thing that happened, as i said, really thwarted things, was when it was clear to the public how justice kavanaugh and justice coney barrett may have voted. it locked them in and made it all the more difficult. and, you know, i do think that brett kavanaugh despite what he said during his confirmation hearing and despite the way that he sort of publicly wrung his hands of this issue was likely never going to switch. he was probably never going to change after he first said that he wants to reverse roe. his signal from the bench during the oral arguments, john in december, before they took that vote was, you know, pretty strong. it's just that he has been in play before, and the chief just did not want to give up. he felt like this decision would be so wrong. they did not even tak

it is frustrating i am sure for our viewers to see protesters outside brett kavanaugh's home when theyr think there is a law that says you can't protesters try to influence a supreme court justice. we know what the department of justice position is on that statute? and why more is not being done to protect our justices? practice it in judiciary committee a couple months ago when it was a panel that was dismissive on some of the things we have seen more recently with brett kavanaugh, we have said look it doesn't stop there. you cannot just sit there and think this is going to be at a conservative judge for it is going to go all the way down or should take supreme court judge. federal circuit, district court, state supreme court. this behavior is unacceptable. we have to actually, i think, take a look at additional crimes or a ways for prosecutors to be able to go after people who are going into homes. there is a website a social media app where someone was paying $50 to find conservative judges out in d.c. but they pay $50 if you find them for they pay a bonus if they are there 30 minut

pro-choice republican senator who is running for re-election and who, by the way, didn't vote for brett kavanaugh's confirmation. is there some responsibility that the pro-choice activist groups have? 'cause the criticism of planned parenthood is that they became a wing of a political party rather than a sincere issue-advocacy organization. >> i think absolutely. there's no question. i don't think they ever endorsed me, either, as a pro-choice republican. no, there's no question. this happens with all of those groups. environmental groups, the same thing happens. and, unfortunately, planned parenthood allowed themselves to be defined as pro-abortion rather than emphasizing the family-planning part of the -- of their name and of their mission. they let that go by the side. they decided to adopt this. they were going to really fight for pro-abortion issues. and i get it, but that was wrong. and i think they are responsible for part of this fractioning that we have, this splitting. but, you know, margaret, the good thing -- the encouraging thing in all this is, we actually aren't as far apart as a cou

brett kavanaugh said to the roe v. wade question, it entitles the respect of the principles of stare decisis, my belief is rooted in the constitution, and importance of the rule of law, i am i don't rock the boat kind of judge. amy coney barrett, i will avail all the rules of stare decisis, and if the question of roe v. wade comes up before me, i will follow the law as the court is articulating, applying all the factors reliant [indiscernible] just the standard of factors. under oath. i know everybody here gets frightened when they have to put their hand up. they believe they have to tell the truth. and yet, what happened in the dobbs case? what happened to president, -- what happened to precedent, stare decisis? i said in the judiciary committee, if we are to yield to states rights and glorifies states rights, i might not even be free. i might not be even free, i would certainly not be a first-class citizen, i would be a second-class citizen because of my heritage. how dare you tell me to celebrate states rights? and

but they lionized one and buried the other same thing with the brett kavanaugh's hearings when brett kavanaugh ducked questions didn't answer them because no nominee anymore answers questions about cases that are pending before the court the headline on the new york times was he ducks questions when elena kagan before her nomination hearing in the senate did the same thing and didn't answer questions the headline in the new york times was she follows precedent. time and time again want the media is easy on the democrats and relentless on the republicans. and that's where i blow my whistle and i'll give you one final example that's in my book. in 1998 when stacy abrams lost their governor's race in georgia by a margin that was four times the size of donald trump's defeat in georgia. she lost by more than 50,000 votes trump lost by about 12,000 votes. she refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of her opponent's when the republican win senator cory booker booker of new jersey said the election was stolen senator sherwood brown of ohio said the election was stolen if the media had called t

dan: i want to play a clip from aoc who made fun of brett kavanaugh. >> i think the thing that was sozy about that incident is not even that it happened, but that it happened on the capital steps. he was engaged in very clearly sexually threatening aggressive behavior. dan: she said that about being harassed. but when it came to kavanaugh, she thought it was funny. >> i don't think it's funny when you have a sitting justice on the highest court, coupled with what he went through during this confirmation process. coupled with what chuck schumer said on the steps of the supreme court. an assassination attempt on one of the justices of our highest court in this great nation. but that's the kind of thing x get from the -- we get from the left it seems. dan: coming up on "unfiltered." democrats say climate change is on the verge of wiping out the planet.
