justice byron white. they were roommates and he said he was sending me up and that's how i ended up working for byron and the happy assistant was fred dutton and for me, the rest is history. >> and what a rich history. thank you so much. [applause] thank you so much. she has been our point person on this. i want to introduce you to marry white to happens to be a neighbor of mine. a real pleasure. she was a kennedy administration staffer who worked for ted sorensen and you were instrumental. tell us what sorensen was like. >> he was unbelievably intelligent and i wasn't going to mention this, but i was going to give you a sample of what it was like. having worked for a speechwriter, i write speeches. it was a sunday evening in january of 1962 and i shared a large georgetown apartment with three other women and two of my roommates were hosting a party. the phone rang and one of the guests answered the phone. it was ted sorensen asking me to come in immediately. i said i was babysitting my three month old ne

. >> so you mentioned at the very outset justice byron white who famously, when he left the court, burned all of his papers and backgrounds and said my opinions are what i had to say. that was what i'm leaving behind. is that what you plan to do, or is that -- >> no, i've already given my papers to the library of congress. and i think they should be available in due course. >> did you keep everything? >> did i keep -- i kept a lot of stuff. >> yeah. >> an amazing amount. [laughter] i just recently, i'm doing another book right now, and i found i have my yellow original draft of chevron -- >> oh, my goodness. [laughter] wow. >> and i'm not sure anybody wants to try to read my handwriting. >> oh, you'd be surprised. [laughter] so let me, i realize we should wrap this up, but let me ask both of you -- i'll first ask justice kagan, you know, what do you do for fun? and what would your advice -- if you have any time for fun. i hope you do. and what advice would you give to young lawyers today? >> yeah. well, we have great summers, so i work awfully hard from, you know, mid september through th

look at my own justice byron white. the only justice appointed was one of the two centers in roe versus wade and he was at the center and miranda. finally, with respect to the supreme court confirmation process, i just brought along some statistics with me and i know that president nixon is a republican nominated william lindquist to the supreme court on october 22, 1971. the democratic had a 54/44 majority in the senate. he was confirmed on december 10, 1971, less than 2 and a half month later. it's incredible how our system has now gotten to the point where i fear for what will happen next. democrats elect the president and the republicans retain the senate and they will just say we like eight justices and we won't even consider judge garland or any other nomination until four years later we have a republican president. we can't do it if we will retain our system of respect for the rule of law. >> a quick response, randy. >> if the democrats had confirmed robert, someone who i do not support and who i believe was qual

how i ended up on the campaign working for byron white. i am from cincinnati, ohio came from an irish catholic democratic, pretty well-known family. the chairman of the democratic party, his secretary and my dad's secretary were best friends, and i worked downtown. right before i graduated from college in june, i was planning on coming to the campaign around july 20 and i ran into the chairman, and he said, where are you going? i said, i am just going to volunteer. he said, well, we can do better than that. we walked up to his office with his old-style telephone so he got out his little black book and he dialed a number and he said, whizzzer this is sacko. he was talking to a guard of the detroit lions. whizzer was in and to the detroit --end to the detroit lions, they were roommates and that's a landed up working for iran -- byron. >> what a rich history. thank you so much, nancy. [applause] >> nancy has been instrumental in keeping this group well-connected. thank you so much. she has been the point person on this as well. i want to intr

look at my own justice byron white, he was one of the two in road v. wade and miranda.supreme court confirmation process i just brought along statistics with me, i know that president nixon a republican nominated william rhenquist to the supreme court when the democrats had a 54 to 44 majority in the senate. he was confirmed on december 10th, 1971 less than two and a half months later. it's incredible how our system has now gotten to the point where i fear for what will happen next. the democratic elected president and the republicans retain the senate, we like eight justices on the court, we are not even going to consider judge garland or any subsequent nomination until four years later when we have a republican president. we can't do that if we are going to retain our system of respect for the rule of law in independent judiciary. >> quick response, randy. >> i think if the democrats had confirmed robert, somebody who i did not myself support, but who i believe was qualified by every measure that merrick garland is qualified, we wouldn't be in the situation that we ar

there was a liberal group that was controlling the court at the time per look at my own justice byron white. the only justice appointed by president kennedy, he was one of the two in row v wade and he was also at the center in miranda. finally, with respect to the supreme court confirmation process, i just brought along from statistics with me, i know that president nixon, republican nominated william rehnquist to the supreme court on october 22, 1971 when the democrats had a 54 - 44 majority four majority in the senate. he was confirmed on december 10, 1971 less 71 less than two and half months later. so it's incredible how our system has gone to the point where i fear for what will happen next. the democrats elected presidents and the republicans retain the senate. will they just say we like the justices on the court and we won't consider judge garland or any subsequent nomination until four years later when we have a republican president. we can't do this if we are going to retain our system of respect for the rule of law and the independent judiciary. >> your response randy? >> i think

host: so you mentioned at the very outset justice byron white, who famously, when he left the court, burned all of his papers said, my ounds and opinions are what i had to say. that was what i'm leaving behind. is that what you plan to do? or is that -- justice stevens: no, i've already given my papers to the library of congress, and i think they should be available in due course. >> did you keep everything? stevens: i kept a lot of stuff. -- i'm doing ow another book right now, and i original ve my yellow draft of chevron. [laughter] justice kagan: wow. sure e stevens: i'm not anybody wants to read my handwriting. host: you'd be surprised. should - i realize we wrap this up, but let me ask both of you, i'll first ask justice kagan. what would you do for fun, and what was your advice -- if you hope ny time for fun, i you do, and what advice would you give to young lawyers today? justice kagan: we have great summers. so i work awfully hard from mid-september through the end of june, but we have these terrific fun.rs, so we have some gosh, i like to travel in the summer. i'm a baseball

to answer your question, i am reminded of byron white, who every time there is a new justice on the courtit is a different court. so you cannot summarize the changes just in terms of time that goes by, each member of the is a changes and it different institution and that is the most important change that ever occurs on the court. assuming there will be a new someday,n this court, i should also say i am very happy to be able to say that my excellent,s very because i almost never disagree with her. [laughter] justice stevens: although i think it might have disagreed with her in the case i decided this morning. when they could have been for-four and gotten rid of the case, they somehow or another struggled to keep the case alive. i am sorry. what was the question? [laughter] changedhe court has over the time in which you have been involved. the majorevens: changes the fact that they do a much better job of managing their docket. they do not take twice as many cases as they are capable of hearing, which we did. cases and they court is now much better at was and ihan it assume that will contin

. >> you mentioned at the very white whenice byron he left the court burned all of his papers and background and said my opinions are what i have to say. that is what i'm leaving behind. is that what you plan to do? justice stevens: i have already given my papers to the library of congress. i think they should be available. >> did you keep everything? justice stevens: a lot of stuff. anotherecently am doing book now. i found i have my yellow original draft of chevron. >> wow. [laughter] justice stevens: i don't think people want to read my handwriting. -- i realize we should wrap this up, but let me ask both of you. first, justice kagan, what do you do for fun and if you have any time for fun -- i hope you do -- and what advice would you give to young lawyers today? justice kagan: we have great summers. i work awfully hard from mid-september through the end of june. we have these terrific summers so we have fun. gosh, i like to travel in the summer. i'm a baseball fan. i go to lots of movies. a fair amount of reading novels and things like that. for me, it is really important even during the

police believe wood attempted to stop a pair of gunmen in a white suburban as they tried to gun down fellow biker byron was riding a motorcycle next to wood. wood and evans had just left a south philly gentleman's club. police believe they were followed by two, three hit men possibly tied to the rival motorcycle club. >> they're looking for ways to open and get back in that case. >> a lot of times you know who the doer is and you know people who know who the doer is but it's not enough to make an arrest. >> wood's murder rocked help angel chapter in phillies just months after it was established. his funeral drew hundreds of bikers from across the country, including the leaders of the help angel's mother club. also sparked concerns about a biker war. >> i remember distinctly saying that we were going to lay the law down, and we were going to stave off any retaliatory shootings that may result. >> reporter: within days of wood's murder, doorway and another pagan were questioned. only was there as they left homicide headquarters. >> are they asking you about the murder. >> reporter: neither man wanted to

byron. >> thanks, josh. has the president or the white house been tracking what's happening or what happened in nevada at the democratic state convention there? sanders' supporters reportedly making death threats against the state party chair. however, the state party actually filed a complaint with the dnc. obviously, there's a lot of emotion around this primary process still. is it time for the president to sort of step in and calm the waters and help unify the party moving into the final stage? >> well, as it relates to the delegate selection process for individual states, i would refer you to the dnc. they have a very well-established process whereby they review the plans that are put forward by individual states for choosing their delegates to the convention, and every state does it differently. that makes the process a little cumbersome, but it's the way that each state retains control over the process for selecting delegates to the democratic convention. but i think at the same time you have heard the president on a number of occasions talk about how political disputes can never justify an act of viol

white house. ben carson, who is helping with the selection process, even suggested trump would consider a democrat. let's bring in byronork, a fox news contributor. good to see you. >> good morning, maria. >> start off with characteristics of that person. who should donald trump be looking at, what kind of person or characteristics do you think is most important? >> i think he needs to keep several things in mind. he needs to pick someone who will actually pick his offer. what we've seen with paul ryan in the last few days tells you that a lot of top republicans are having a little trouble wrapping their brains around the fact that trump has just won their party's nomination. trump needs to give them time to decide how they are going to treat a trump nomination. the second thing is, i think you need someone with experience in government. i think there's no doubt that trump has that outsider thing nailed down. he could probably have somebody who is more experienced or who has some experience at laos in government. third thing, i think he needs to pick somebody who is well respected inside the republican party and somebo
