and i refer specifically to brett kavanaugh. people remember dr. ford.mber his horrible confirmation hearing. but let's not forget, after he was confirmed, there were still 83 ethics complaints outstanding against brett kavanaugh, and 10th circuit chief judge tim kovich said he could not rule. he did not exonerate rhett. he dismissed the 83 ethics complaints, saying that as a lower court judge, he had no authority to impose any kind of sanctions or penalties on brett kavanaugh, right? so this idea that the lower court judges can impose the supreme court's ethics reform, i think it's a great idea. does chief justice john roberts think it's a great idea? do the other six conservatives think it's a great idea? because if not, we still have a fundamental problem. so this is a good thought, this is a good kind of test balloon and i think i'm happy to say that it looks like people in power in the democratic party are finally getting the memo that the supreme court is extremist and out-of-control and needs to be brought to heel. but we have a long way to go fro

neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett. they're great people. they're courageous people. we've also achieved what the pro-life movement fought to get for 50 years. they've wanted to get this for 50 years. they've been working so hard, getting abortion out of the federal government. they wanted it out. that means everybody democrats, liberals, republicans, conservatives, they wanted it out, and they wanted to bring it back to the states for 51 years, to be exact. and that's the way everybody, all legal scholars, virtually everybody, they wanted it out of the federal government brought back to the states. and now it's up to the will of the people in each state. it's up to the voters. they're doing it. and some some states will be more conservative in what they vote for, and other states will be more liberal. i mean, ohio, we love ohio, but they voted quite a liberal law. kansas, same thing, very liberal. then you'll have a texas and you'll have other places. but it's now being voted on all over. the people will decide. and that's the way they alwa

one was brett kavanaugh and one was justice roberts. >> vance grew up in middletown, ohio, a small toedium-sized town about an hour north of cincinnati in western ohio. he claims to be descended from hillbilly royalty, that is his term. a distant relative was involved in the hatfield mccoy feud, the famous appellation feud. -- the famous appellation feud -- he grew up in a troubled and broken family. his parents got divorced when he was very young. his mother struggled with drug addiction. he was raised primarily by his grandparents. he spent his summers growing up returning to kentucky, to coal country where meemaw's family roots were. he said he felt like kentucky was his spiritual home even though middletown, ohio was his actual home. his mother struggle with drug addiction has become essential part of his political story. the way republicans have been using the opioid epidemic and tying it to immigration is a good symbol for the various assaults on national sovereignty -- this is how they would put it. the united states has surrendered control of its border and its people to outsi

roles, right, a district attorney, attorney general, senator, somebody who held, you know, a brett kavanaugh to task, somebody who's a fierce prosecutor, somebody who's a fierce champion for not just one community, but all marginalized communities. so she's fought for women. she's fought for children. you know, she's fought against predators. so this is somebody. so when we look at her, we are in awe. seriously. and archive, you asked about it. it is literally an army of her supporters. we're all volunteers. but what we do is we push back against the misogynoir that she faces simply by virtue of being the, you know, being a black woman, being an asian american woman, being a woman in those political spaces. so we push back against those false narratives and remind people who she is. she's authentic. she's fierce. she's fearless. and, you know, she's also a global leader. she's traveled to 100 countries in the last year to increase her standing on the global stage. right. she's bringing people leaders to the round table. she's convening black maternal mortality roundtables, convening roundtab

she gained attention in 2018 for her interrogation of then-supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. >> i'll repeat the question. can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body? >> i'm not -- i'm not thinking of any right now, senator. >> reporter: harris was part of a crowded democratic field vying for the nomination in 2020 before biden picked her as his running mate. if harris is at the top of the ticket now, there's a long list of potential vp contenders, all of whom have their own presidential ambition including michigan governor gretchen whitmer. if she's chosen it would be the first all-female presidential ticket. california governor gavin newsom, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, and transportation secretary pete buttigieg are also possible contenders. it's not yet clear if all of president biden's delegates will line up behind harris. polling shows while she measures up stronger than biden against former president trump, she still trails him. and some democrats would prefer an open primary process during the convention. cbs

did you hear brett kavanaugh's speeches he wrote before he became on the supreme court?o president can have complete immunity? he wrote a thesis on it. host: we will see how he rules today. we are just a few minutes away from the supreme court telling us what they decided on this case of immunity. this is one of the final cases. it is supposed to be the last day of the supreme court term. that is what the chief justice told us on friday. benjamin in alabama, independent. good morning. caller: i wanted to know, is there a constitutional provision for equal justice before the law? is it expressly shown in the constitution that we are supposed to equal justice before the law? host: your point? caller: that should apply to trump as well. host: richard and me apple us. democratic -- richard from minneapolis, democratic caller. caller: no one is above the law. i do not believe he should have immunity. i do not believe any women would vote for him the way he disrespects them. he is responsible for january 6. he said let's go down there and fight and they did and it was terrible

[laughter] jonathan: you mentioned the questioning of brett kavanaugh. my favorite questioning of senator harris was jeff sessions who got so flummoxed, to use your words, that the ag said, you are making me nervous. [laughter] you covered the democratic national convention for the freeport journal since 1968. that's a time that today's election has been compared with. you've covered many presidential campaigns since. where does this campaign, the 2024 campaign, fit into history for you? >> this is a historic campaign by any measure. it's one of the most interesting campaigns. it is historically significant because of the stakes involved in this election year. we've known that from the very beginning. this is a very consequential election. what direction is america going to take in 2024? is it going to go back to donald trump and all that that means for the future of the country? is it going to turn page? as long as it was trump versus biden, this was not a future oriented campaign. this was going to be a backward looking campaign. vice president harris

there is reason there was a man camped outside of brett kavanaugh's house threatening to kill him. the left refuses to face the music and consequences of its own policies and try to blame individuals on the bench and undermine the legitimacy of the supreme court. this affects future democratic and republican presidents, it is not a partisan ruling. democrats need to be careful who they are attacking and why they are doing so. >> ashley: white house staff is stunned to see hunter joining meetings with the president. any to the soundbite with karine jean-pierre talking to reporters. >> it is a week where there is more family members who will come to the white house, i'm sure i r you will see them on 4th of july. >> the question would be is he participationing in meetings with senior advisors? >> he came back with his dad from camp david, he walked him into the speech prep and he was in the room. anything else coming out of that epiradioing, i can't speak to. >> ashley: this is not small business, help your son out, this is united states of america. and american lives are in jeopardy

i am tired of seeing republicans atta attacked steve scalise, brett kavanaugh, me in 2022, rand paul. this assassination attempt on president trump. the push is republicans and democrats need to talk about unmute versal truth, we settle at the ballot box. if that was joe biden who was on the receiving end of that and i would never wish that in a million years, the left would be w wanting president trump to be indicted and saying this is all president trump's fault. here we are because president trump is aare tacked, there are people who want to blame trump as he had it coming. i want us to unite and bring the temperature down. this keeps happening to know ares and we say republicans and democrats should unite. if happened to joe biden, there would be a push to indict president trump. >> brian: we love a big reset, let's debate policy, not personality and bring the temperature down. looks like 24 lawmakers according to politico, headline, they want joe biden to say have an open convention, here it is. president biden -- delegates who pledged to nominate him for a second term, meaning o

she has clerked with justice brett kavanaugh when he served on the appeals court in washington. francisco that has been described as "radically progressive," the way it is run. she left that well-regarded firm after her husband was named as trump's running mate this week. usha vance was a registered democrat until 2014 but has since voted in the 2022 republican primary, which, her husband ran in. when she was asked about the prospect of becoming the second lady last june, usha vance replied "i'm not raring to change anything about our lives right now but i really believe in jd and i really love him. we will just see what happens with our lives." we have eyes on the convention stage right now. usha vance is expected to begin her speech shortly. we do expect, i believe, that her husband, j.d. vance, will be speaking right after her. we will keep an eye on when she actually starts her remarks. i think, i mean, one of the things that about being a very young person at this sort of position is you and i've been a person whose family gets introduced to the country in a way that is the

the same with the attacks on donald trump or justice brett kavanaugh, the messaging is meant to go beyondhose individuals that if we can do this to this person, imagine what will happen to you if you do not comply and that is what happens in domestic violence. it is natural to begin to adjust. but when it is a constant message of human mind is fragile and powerful at the same time. you begin to believe it, you begin to believe it, self-esteem goes down, you worry about threats against your family, you see living creatures killed or they go missing or you worry about your children. most women leave when they cannot overcome it for themselves but they can for their children and that is when they are in the most danger is when they leave a batterer to save their children's lives. it is the same i think with our situation here during covid lockdown. we go along with our lives, we can adapt, we want control, but then we saw what was happening with our children, not just with covid, but at. this is something that it does not matter who you are, we are reminded that we have courage, we can make

former speaker nancy pelosi and the california man who threatened to kill supreme court justice brett kavanaught today as the investigation into the attack begins, the political unrest only seems to be getting more intense. >> and that was angelica k that was reporting for us tonight. the fbi is going to be leading the investigation with efforts local law enforcement going through cellphone footage and also trying to learn as much as they can about the shooter. of course, all of this is going to be happening. all of this actually is happening just a few days before the national republican convention kicks off. >> east bay congressman eric swalwell joining a long line of politicians talking about what happened condemning violence. all of them calling for unity. >> to anyone who is seeking to use for any political benefit. urge you not to do that. that unity must be antidote in a moment like we've been through too much political violence in this country. we all suffered through january 6. the former speaker of the house, speaker pelosi in our backyard in the bay area had her husband her husband w

brett kavanaugh was staffed secretary i think was his title. he decided who and what the president saw and materials that went in to the president. most of these guys felt for all their lives, that presidents were being harassed by the opposition party, harassed by plaintiffs, harassed in all kinds of ways that made their jobs very difficult to do. and that is reflected in this decision today, and the only member of the conservative super majority who dissented at all was justice amy coney barrett, who did not have that experience, who said look, if you can show he accepted a bribe you have to be able to present that evidence in court, you cannot limit evidence. not only is the president basically immune from prosecution for a great many things, for those things you can prosecute him for you cannot use the evidence of his wrongdoing if it involved official acts in order to prove to a jury that he did something bad. she said that's basically where i'm getting off this boat. i don't agree with you, i agree with the dissenters. >> even with her di

egregious and outrageous arguments and now with john roberts, with samuel alito, clarence thomas, brett kavanaughl gorsuch giving this outrageous notion the blessing of this faction we stand on more from the rule of law in america and this court must be held accountable. i support every effort to hold it accountable to reform this court and to restore our democracy from the reckless decision of these men to try to destroy the rule of law while claiming they didn't. let me finally say this -- these justices, each of them -- john roberts and the others -- told congress when they were facing their confirmation hearing is that no one was above the law. and yesterday, for donald trump, they were willing to set aside that fundamental principle in american law in our constitution that no president is king and basically get president trump retrospectively king like powers and perhaps prospectively. this comes as trump has been calling for the political prosecution of his enemies and for being in essence a dictator on day one and many other days should he be elected president. this could not be a more dan

but it contradicts what some of these conservative justices have argued in the past and here brett kavanaugh said it's almost unthinkable and stated in the hearing that no one is above the law and when neil gorsuch is a president could a president be prosecuted for waterboarding someone and he said no man is above the law. amy coney barrett said nobody is above the law not once, twice but three times and chief justice roberts said that no one is above the law under our system including the president. and that's quite the change of heart and while criticism of the ruling has rightly pointed out the absurd levels of power it gives the president but it puts into focus the excessive power in the hands of that institution, the courts itself. as we worry about america backsliding into authoritarianism under a second donald trump administration, it is important to understand the role the courts have played in other countries that have already started their backslide. in a new york times magazine piece last year, the question was raised of how much power the court should have and she named countries

wife lucia vance, a lawyer who once clerked for john roberts and future supreme court justice brett kavanaughhen he was a federal judge. this is part of j.d. vance's speech at the republican national convention on wednesday night. >> never, go my wildest imagination could i have believed i would be standing here tonight. i grew up in middletown ohio. a small town where people spoke their minds, built with their hands, and left their god, family, community, and our country with their whole hearts. but it was also a place that had been cast aside and forgotten by america's ruling class in washington. when i was in the fourth grade, a career politician by the name of joe biden supported nafta, a bad trade deal that sent countless good jobs to mexico. when i was a sophomore in high school, that same career politician named joe biden china a sweetheart trade deal that destroyed even more good american middle-class manufacturing jobs. when i was a senior in high school, that same joe biden supported the disastrous invasion of iraq. at each step of the way in small towns like mine in ohio or next-do

we've seen the confirmation hearings of the brett kavanaughs of the world and his demeanor during a confirmation. we've seen justice arthur engoron for the new york attorney general. we've seen judge lewis kaplan from federal court for e. jean carroll's trial. we've seen different judges, and the thing i think so poor in terms of america not being able to know judge merchan is not being able to see and hear him because he is measured and he is calm. even in the face of all this scrutiny and even in the face of all these complex legal issues. why? because this man, judge juan merchan, came to the united states. he emigrated at the age of 6 from clubu. he's one of six children. he was washing dishes. he went to school, graduated -- he's the first member of his family to go to college. he lived in queens. he worked at the manhattan d.a.'s office and the new york state attorney generals and has been a judge since 2006. if there anyone who isn't a fellow new yorker, i beg you find somebody else who's not more new york than judge juan merchan. he is what a lot of new yorkers are, and i think that's a

but half the country and, you know, all the political violence that we have seen, for instance brett kavanaugh breaking into his house, or steve scalise being shot at the baseball game, or now we've seen donald trump. this is all come from the left and it's all really as the result we don't know yet but i mean it's a good guess, as a result of this constant drum beat of demonizing donald trump as an existential threat. america is over if he wins the election. you know, if he really is hitler, then you're actually doing the country a favor in their eyes if you eliminate him. >> well that's it and the dangerousness also is it's not just about partisanship, like you're going to tip democrats over. the language is so overwhelming and becomes like a liquid fear that anyone whose mentally unstable can be pushed over that edge, so they keep saying oh, well we don't think he was a democrat or it wasn't because of whomever. it is the rhetoric that made trump the appealable target, and that means it's even a broader pool of nuts that get affected by this. >> you're absolutely right, and you know, it mak

completed but also a young man who was pushed over the edge by the constant rhetoric against judge brett kavanaughe is always calls that they seen what the result is from the democrats maybe have a pause but i don't know what they'll do if there rhetoric which is been about the dangers of trump and is been that from the beginning from a russian spy hoax to the laufer dynamics and convicted criminals to annex essential threat and went to get rid of that they use that because they can talk about the issues, trump on the other hand talks about the issues of immigration, crime, the economy, et cetera. it's going to be an interesting a difficult situation for the democrats but it must be discussed. we seen the show before. sandra: all that you respond to that. >> thank you on january 6 i saw extremely disgusting vile comments about killing nancy pelosi, aoc and i've certainly seen things about killing former secretary of state clinton, bill clinton, joe biden, this has to stop all around from extreme on both sides. speaking at the convention that were having in milwaukee this week, tom cotton dural pro

trump create list of supreme court text and all three of trump's eventual nominees, neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett came from lists that leonard liao created. the majority of other nominees to the federal bench were current or former members of the federal society as well, but leonard leos influence goes beyond work in reshaping federal courts. you spent supporting project 2025, the blueprint for the next conservative administration and that is grenada by the heritage foundation which is a conservative think tank. last month in a press release announcing the formation of a task force to counter project 2025, the democratic congressman jeff -- jared huffman noted half the groups supporting the effort have received $21.5 million in funding from leonard leos dark money network. will trump recently claimed he knows nothing about project 2025, i'll have more on that in a few minutes, many past and present colleagues including leo are deeply involved in the effort. it is important to note project 2025 is not just about the draconian policies that conservatives want to impose on amer

we have seen the confirmation hearings and the brett kavanaugh is in the world and we have seen the justiceraud trial for the new york attorney general and we saw judge kaplan through federal court and we have seen different judges. the thing that i think is so poor in terms of america not being able to know the judge is not been able to see and hear him because he is measured and calm and even in the face of all of this uncertainty and all of these complex legal issues. why? this man came to the united states and immigrated from the age of six from columbia and he is one of six children and washing dishes and he did go to school and he graduated and the first member of his family to go to college and he lived in queens and he worked in the manhattan das office and has been a judge since 2006. if there is anybody who isn't a fellow new yorker, again you find somebody else who is not more new york then judge merchan. i think it is an interesting thing when you think about donald trump having a jury of his peers but also having a man like judge merchan who is overseeing the personalities and
