if you look back to a net at heal, clarence town -- anita hill, clarence thomas, that bruising hearing, a number of democrats who voted for clarence thomas faced a very hostile crowd back home. hisof them in georgia, lost race. alan dixon was up for that she was trying to be reelected to his seat in illinois, he lost his seat to carol moseley braun over this particular issue. ,o, voters are paying attention particularly at the supreme court level. and because there is so much more engagement, so much more excitement, at least on the progressive side, i think this will be a huge issue. announcer: watch the entire newsmakers interview with nan ar >> c-span, where history unfold daily. in 19 79, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television>> c-span, wherd daily. companies. today, we continue to bring you unfiltered coverage of congress, the white house, the supreme court, and public policy events in washington, d.c. and around the country. yourn is brought to you by cable or satellite provider. >> the app industry is now 10 years old and there are nearly 4 million

certainly today within clarence house, there is deep regret as the prince said in his statement.d their raise anger that the good faith which was invested in this man was so grievously betrayed. nicholas witchell, al royal correspondent, there. the us economy is growing at its fastest rate in four years, prompting president trump to describe it as historic. growth rose to 4.1% between april and june, driven by strong consumer spending and a surge in exports, as firms rush to beat new trade tariffs imposed on the us. the white house hopes the strong economy will divert attention from the controversy surrounding alleged russian involvement in the 2016 election. jon sopel reports. the sun shone and donald trump beamed as he basked in the warm glow of these latest economic figures. this is what he promised the american people and now 18 months or so into his presidency, he can say this is what he's delivered. these numbers are very, very sustainable. this isn't a one—time shot. i happen to think we're going to do extraordinarily well in our next report next quarter. i think it's goin

what they did to clarence thomas was a disgrace but it's going to happen.aying this for weeks. it's predictable. >> it doesn't matter who president trump would have nominated, these same smears would have occurred but i admire president trump. he had the courage to make the right choice notwithstanding the fact that he could have chosen somebody who would've been an easier confirmation but no. he made an important choice, the right choice, a brilliant dressed, no question. >> sean: what i read to you about his judicial philosophy, what he said. >> he is a textual list an end originalist. >> no doubt whatsoever. 300 opinions plus prove it. >> sean: this is why i keep saying, dr. gorka, we have less than a minute. this 2018 midterm election is the most important in our lifetime. all of those senate seats that could change hands and become republican, the republicans have a very slim margin and that means rand paul, ted cruz, susan collins, lisa murkowski. in that sense, do the president to make right call? >> i think he did. i think he absolutely did. you hea

as clarence said, he's linked that to race. many of our students using our material shouted murray down. we're entitled to our opinion. i think the fact that students used our material to shout professor murray down was the right thing to do, i think it's the right thing to do and we commend it many times. i think it's the fault of their teachers both before they got in college and in college not to make them understand better their specific education needs. so while i think many students have done outrageous things in colleges, i would give the university administrators more of the blame. it's a c for the administrators, a b for the students. >> thank you very much. do you have a microphone? >> i think i do, yeah. and a booming voice. otherwise it would be silencing my speech, right? >> exactly. you're like me. we've been working in the media here on the beltway more than we have on any college campuses in recent years, but that doesn't stop us from talking about college campuses, telling them what to do, anyway. from your poi

and bork was in full play during the confirmation of now supreme court justice clarence thomas. by the way one of the best justices i think we have ever had on the court and in our lifetime. ama back in 1991 democrats rolled out a former colleague, anita hill to make allegations against him and it became so nasty that justice thomas called it a "high-tech lynching." watch this. >> this is a circus, it's a national disgrace. and from my standpoint, as a black american, as far as i am concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves or do for themselves, to have different ideas. it is a message that unless you cow town to an old order, this is what will happen to you. you will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the u.s. senate rather than hung from a tree. >> sean: it has already begun right now, by democrats, to judge kavanaugh and to his family. as we speak, it didn't matter who the president would have picked. and by the way, if you ever want to read a fantastic book, "my grandfather's son," it was written by

i'm going to bring clarence page into this conversation.e play for you what conservative political commentator eric balling said today about pruitt. take a listen. >> you're a public servant. you're serving at the behest of the president, but you're also serving the public. i don't think anyone out there on eerd side of the aisle or the middle would say that what scott pruitt is doing is serving the public. it sounds like scott pruitt is serving scott pruitt. >> what's your reaction to that, clarence? what's your assessment of what he's doing and when you're hearing conservative commentators like that and saying scott pruitt is not serving anybody but scott pruitt? >> it's a different experience hearing eric bolling criticizing a fellow conservative like that. i can't say it's not well deserved. everyone knows about scott pruitt's attitude. he's a former attorney general who has one head for the law and another for ethics. he seems to be entirely blind or tone deaf to ethics. we've seen it repeatedly. and we have a situation where he is bei

first, joined by clarence page to look at the politics.a president is hiring an executive like this? >> well, i mean, aside from his record in terms of dealing with sexual harassment -- which we'll get to in a moment. >> the relationship he's had with fox, and the way that fox has been responding, tony snow came and worked for the bush administration. but there was some daylight between fox and the bush administration at that time. not -- they were more focused on republicans. but in this instance, it seems like the entire network is there to push donald trump's line and perspective. and, i mean, frankly, it's disturbing, too, because, you know, sean hannity, the second most powerful guy in the country, we're not talking exactly brain trust here. and so i think, you know, what we have is donald trump increasingly speaking only to his base. and creating a second sort of narrative of what has been going on. you watch fox for a day, you will hear none of what the rest of the world essentially is reporting about the trump administration. >> cl

of democrats who voted for clarence thomas, faced a very hostile crowd,. one of them in georgia, lost his race. alan dixon was up for that she was trying to be reelected to a seat in illinois, he lost his seat to carol moseley over this issue. so, voters are paying attention, particularly at the supreme court level. and because there are so much ,ore engagement and excitement at least on the progressive side, i think this will be a huge issue. >> three minutes left, one last question from each of you. siobhan: i wonder if though, the risk is you end up energizing an already energized them aquatic base, but do not necessarily expand the pool of public that has concerns? nan: my assumption is, based on a lot of experience, that once people come to understand who brett kavanaugh is and what he stands for, and the threat that he would pose to all of our rights and liberties, not just for two years, four years, before a generation, i think people will come to understand just how important this debate is, this discussion is, and pressed their senators to vote ag

clarence thomas is a better originalists that justice scalia was because clarence thomas was more opens history books and historical scholarship and i think judge kavanaugh, when he's justice kavanaugh, when he does, will be very open to reading good historical scholarship, trying to give him a better sense and his colleagues 0 what the document really says. >> neil: so you want to get away from this idea that it goes, as you said, the ping-pong, hearings that prove nothing. you want them to prove something. you want them to elevate this debate. >> i think it would be amazing if the senate became a serious for serious confirmation. a nominee can show his chops and a precedent would be rewarded for a really good nomination that reflected glory and down to the present and the nominee. the american people would get a good lesson in a serious constitutionalism and where reasonable people actually disagree. i know it's a utopian, pie in the sky. we're deeply divided. i'm trying to find a way forward. >> neil: no, you offer a lot of good ideas, a way to bridge the gap and a hot and feisty ga

certainly, today, within clarence house, there is deep regret, as the prince said in his statement.tration and anger that the good faith invested in this man was so grievously betrayed. the extreme weather has caused major disruption for travellers, with problems on the roads and railways. flights are also being disrupted with air traffic control placing limits on the number of departures; leading to delays and cancellations at airports including edinburgh, gatwick and birmingham. the storms are expected to continue overnight, with a yellow weather warning in place for the east of england and scotland. chi chi izundu reports. the summer holiday getaway, stopped abruptly in a car park. those hoping to go via eurotunnel told they can't because of the heat. and there's caution for those planning long drives. in london, in surrey, in new york. the summer heat wake breaking in spectacularfashion. the met the summer heat wake breaking in spectacular fashion. the met office issued an amber warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms will not flash flooding could pose a risk to life. police ha

in those days, in several separate confirmations processes for robert bork, justice kennedy, and clarence thomas. tell us first what you learned from those experiences on the committee as things progressed, and apply it to this current situation with brett kavanaugh. >> sure. i think what those hearings showed is that a nominee should be asked very specific questions and they should answer those specific questions. outside of -- with the exception of pending cases before the court, i think everything else is fair game. people tend to look at the bork hearings and say a nominee should not answer those questions because bork answered them and wasn't confirmed but i think the real lesson is from justice kennedy. he followed bork, his hearings did, he answered very specific questions and in fact he was confirmed 97-0. it seems quite extraordinary given today's environment, but not a single senator voted against him. >> you talk about specific questions. you write about the right questions in an opinion piece in the "washington post." asking the right questions. here's a look at it. what are t

of democrats who voted for clarence thomas faced a very hostile crowd back home. fowler in georgia lost his ace. alan dixon was up for trying to e re-elected in illinois and he lost his seat over this particular issue. so, voters are paying attention, particularly at the supreme court level. and because there is so much more engagement and more excitement, at least on the progressive side, i think that this will be a huge issue. host: three minutes left. last question from each of you. siobhan: i wonder if the risk is you end up energizing an already energized democratic base but don't expand the pool of the public that might have oncerns. nan: my assumption is based on a lot of experience in this is that, once people come to understand who brett kavanaugh is and what he stands for and the threats that he would pose to all of our rights and liberties, not just for two years, four years, but for a generation, i think people will come to understand just how important this debate is, this discussion is, and press their senators to vote against. mark: just to stay on

we also have clarence thomas out of that. that's one of my favorites, anyway. >> in 1992, the press called that year the year of the women, because there were so many women elected to congress, 24 women were elected to the house. what did that feel like for you to suddenly have more women in the ranks of the house? >> well, it was very exciting. and, of course, that was, i think, the fallout from the whole hearings that we just talked about. the hearings with clarence thomas. people were so mad about anita hill's treatment. so a lot of women got elected. and yet, even then, we were not 10% of the house. okay? and so i remember walking out there as they are swearing them all in. and one of my colleagues said to me, well, i hope you're happy, this place is starting to look like a shopping center. and i said to him, where do you shop? burlington -- 10% of the people are women. really, it looks like a shopping mall to you? yeah, so there were some people really kind of shocked by it. and when i first got elected, i was in this re

it started with the character assassination of robert bork and and culminated with clarence thomas. tensions seemed to subside for a time but then came the unprecedented filibuster of samuel alito and the public flagellation of neil gorsuch. the nominee had -- but in every case my colleagues sought to drag these men into the partisan gutter, asking questions designed to parse their political positions rather than their legal philosophy. mr. president, in my 42 years of senate service, i have witnessed the gradual deterioration of the judicial confirmation process. as the former chairman of the judiciary committee and now its longer serving member, i have taken an active role of every justice currently sit og and the supreme court -- sitting on the supreme court and those who retired. i participated in half of all article three judges who have ever served. throughout the process i have met some of the brightest legal minds that they have to offer. i watched as the on the other side of the aisle looked to undo their gain. this is merely a symptom of a much larger problem, the politica

clarence house said prince charles didn't know about the caution until 2009 and he said he hadn't beenion carried an acceptance of guilt. one of ball's victims, who wants to remain anonymous, told me he did not feel that was good enough. i felt very let down by prince charles. we have been fighting for 25 years for this inquiry. and the fact that prince charles did not come out and say that he was absolutely devastated as to what had happened to us was hurtful. in 1997, peter ball and his brother were found this house in rural somerset, then owned by the duchy of cornwall. prince charles wrote to him, saying he longed to see him settled somewhere that gave him peace and tranquillity. the two men exchanged letters over two decades. "life continues to be pretty nasty for me," ball wrote to the prince. "it seems my accusers still want to continue their malicious campaign". "i wish i could do more," prince charles wrote later, "about the monstrous wrongs that have been done to you and the way you have been treated." two years later, the prince calls one of ball's accusers "a ghastly man",

your boss clarence thomas had similar problems and that they brought -- they threw everything it clarenceding the kitchen sink. he decided to respond with righteous indignation. this is another way to go. watch. >> this is a circus, a national disgrace. from my standpoint, as a black american, as far as i'm concerned, it's a high-tech lynching for uppity black who in any way deigned to think for themselves, do for themselves, have different ideas. it is the message that unless you count outward old order, this is what to you. >> laura: never have truer words been spoken to my former boss, clarence thomas. brilliant jurists, has had an amazing career on the court. ultimate revenge is life tenure. raymond arroyo, thank you. if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough, it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission.

first of all, clarence thomas i was very aware of. mary, myself and gary each had submities and we had -- subcommittees and we put ours together to talk about equality and all of these things. and we had clarence thomas come to testify and he always laughed at us and told us it was a stupid law and blah, blah, blah. it was so frustrating to think this guy did not believe in what he was supposed to be doing so no wonder he was not doing it. so suddenly he is up and we had not heard much about what was going on and suddenly this wonderful woman says i would like to testify. we looked into her background and she was amazing. she was a southern baptist all the way through, very straight arrowed, straighter than straight. she had interesting stories to tell about the chairman. she had volunteered to testify and asked to testify. they said no. no thank you. so we got really upset and one morning we did one minute speeches, and a wonderful young woman who did my press i said what can we do and she said go outside and walk to the senate this

chappaquiddick was a disgrace to the senate and then what they did to clarence thomas was a disgraceo the senate. >> it will happen. i have said this for weeks. it is predictable. it doesn't matter who president trump would have nominated the same smears would have occurred. he has the courage to make the right choice as a president notwithstanding he could've chosen somebody to be an easier confirmation but he made an important choice in the right choice but with that judicial philosophy with statutes and and originalist with the constitution and with those opinions so this is why i keep saying this 2018 midterm election is the most important and that could change hands to become republican they have a very slim margin that means rand paul or susan collins or murkowski. and you heard him. i don't believe in legislation and that constitution is to be interpreted. and now it is even more important than the 2016 elections.s. >> judgege scalia said to make the considerations that the law demands. we will have much more tomorrow. heather: it is tuesday july 10th and this is "fox & friend

if you look back to anita hill, clarence thomas, after that huge bruising fight and hearing, a number of democrats who voted for clarence thomas, they stay -- they had a very hostile crowd back home. fowler from georgia lost his race. dixon was up- alan to be reelected to a seat in illinois and he lost his seat to carol moseley braun over this particular issue. voters are paying attention. particularly at the supreme court level and because there is so much more engagement and excitement, at least on the progressive side, i think this will be a huge issue. >> arch the entire newsmakers today at with nan aron 10:00 and 6:00 p.m. eastern on c-span. on friday, dan coats, director of national intelligence talked about cyber security, counterterrorism, and russian election interference at an event hosted by the hudson institute. this is 45 minutes. >> good afternoon and welcome to the betsy and walter's stern policy center here at the hudson institute. i am ken weinstein. hudson is a policy research center for a secure, free, and prosperous future. ouruld like to welcome audience as well a

hill and she hired anita hill and they became close friends then when she was testifying at the clarence thomas hearing she came to rely on ada and i just want to read quickly what it is she had to say about ada. >> as i settled into my goal at every step she supported me from the day i got there through her tenure and finally when i needed her when my job was threat and after i testified in 1891 at the senate confirmation hearings for judge clarence thomas. her support was vocal and private and public settings at a university function days after my testimony she greeted me in her familiar manner and said anita, you are my kind of old men. i knew that i could weather the trials that laid ahead because 80 -- ada told me that i could she was my role model of strength and leadership and my inspiration to remain help -- hopeful and she still is. the question? >> so the first half of the question, was doing research on girls in the 50s and then to find out about the black girl so i just went to the library to pull out black cat copies of ebony and paged through the pages and whatever there wa

that's what it means to be an originalist, that is what antonin scalia, clarence thomas, samuel alito clearly understand who they are and what it is they revere. their friends the left-wing media, none of this matters. judge kavanaugh's impressive track record and resume doesn't seem to matter at all. the left in this country they want what's called a judicial activist. someone who will throw the constitution to the wind and write laws and legislate from the bench. someone who will use international law, not our constitution as a basis for their findings. most of all, democrats want everybody not staffed by president trump who you the american people elected. they are attacking us in trump's take before they even knew who it was and they would've attacked anybody that he chose. take a look at how members of the left are already sharpening their spears before the president's announcement last night, take a look. >> you have to remember how extensive the conservative agenda is here for the supreme court. it's not rolling back abortion rights, is not willing back gay rights, is not elimi

who has heard of clarence errol gideon? okay. was the -- the conventional description is a drifter in florida. drifter in florida. he's got to be guilty, right, because he's a drifter. he's not really attached to anybody or any community. he's in florida. and he's accused of breaking in a pool hall and stealing the money from a jukebox. nobody actually saw him do it, but, you know, he was an ex-con. he was a likely suspect. and in the course of his case, the supreme court is going to decide that not just have a right to a lawyer. remember we have right to counsel? what it meant in those days is you had the right to pay for your own counsel to show up in court. in some of the courts you didn't have a right to be represented by counsel. the judge did all the deciding and the evaluation. if gideon's case, it's going to be not only does he have the right to have an attorney, but he has the right for the state to pay for him an attorney. this starts with the conviction of the gentleman who were known as the scotsborough boys in califo

of democrats who group -- who voted for clarence thomas faced a very hostile crowd back on. alan dixon was up for trying to be reelected to a seat in illinois. he lost his seat to carol moseley braun's over this particular issue. are paying attention. particularly at the supreme court level. and because there is so much more engagement, so much more on theent, at least progressive side, i think this will be a huge issue. entireer: watch the newsmaker interview with man aaron, sunday, at 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern here on c-span. 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 confirma

now, whether kavanaugh is a clarence thomas or not a clarence thomas, again, you've got 100 organizationsto this evil devilish figure. the left has really, whether it's trump, whether it's supreme court nominees, whether it was reagan, whatever it is, the left has really become extremely hostile to even our political processes, don't you think? >> without a question, and i find it interesting that when kagan was nominated, republicans voted for kagan, not because they agreed with her, because she would rule as they wish but because the president has a right to make the decision under the constitution, soto mayor, the same thing, i don't want him to appoint a conservative or a liberal, i want him to appoint a constitutionalist. mark: exactly right. >> i want him to appoint a person who is i'll use the term, agnostic when it comes to political ideology, what it meant when it was written and apply whatever law to that constitution and strictly stay there. the supreme court and the entire judicial branch is exactly what you said. it is one of three equal branches but it is not a superior bran

again, clarence thomas, ginsberg and a llito and gorsuch and perhaps now cakavanaugh that's pretty evenspan over the presidents we've had. what we have to insist on in our daily politics, which is now minute-to-minute politics, is understanding that every vote counts. i understand why senator warren was out there with the quickly printed stop kavanaugh signs. i understand why senator booker was on television, senator harris. this is in many ways not the beginning of the 2020 race, but it certainly is related to it. but the court certainly does have a tendency to surprise. i say to those who are about to set their hair on fire, at least wait until morning. of the justices that nixon appointed justin renquist recused himself. the other three voted to make nixon turn over the tapes, which was the precipitating event that actually led to nixon's resignation. three of his appointees went that way. earl warren went in -- eisenhower wasn't quite sure what he was going to get. things do unfold. these are human institutions. if you're really concerned about judge kavanaugh, you need to get out a

as a very small child, i sat with my grandfather who was in the 26th division under clarence edwards. if you're familiar with him. and my grandfather explained over and over and over again, many, many days, that clarence edwards viewed it very much that same way. so, there may have been a common concept, you know, at least in some portions of the army that the common man, my grandfather was a machinist. machinist, apprentice. he is coming from that industrial, you know, process getting right into it. so my question is really, you know, you're concentrating on this group of people that come to life in world war i and then they certainly make impact in world war ii. but there's this cloud pushing others, that are in leadership and something about what they are doing translates to these folks. do you have a sense of that? looking at these folks, i guess goes to the mentor question. you know, how does that all, because there's a culture that grows out of this into these men. and i just wanted to see if you had a legacy kind of thought as you went through. >> it's interesting. one of the r

clarence thomas, ginsburg, breyer, alito, kagan, gorsuch, kavanaugh, that's an even span over the past four or five presidents we've had. what we need to insist on, in our daily politics, now minute to minute politics, i think, is understanding that every vote counts. i understand why senator warren was out there with the quickly printed stop kavanaugh signs. i understand why senator booker was on television, senator harris, this is in many ways not the beginning of the 2020 race, but it's certainly related to it. but the court does have a tendency to surprise. and what i would say to those who are about to set their hair on fire, at least wait until morning. of the four justices that richard nixon appointed, rehnquist had to recuse himself, but the others had nixon turn over the tapes. three of his appointees voted that way. warren did not go in as this remarkably progressive voice. eisenhower was not sure what he would get. so, things do unfold. these are human institutions. and if you are concerned about judge kavanaugh, get out and elect someone else president. >> john and david, t

after princess elizabeth's succession, clarence house became the home of the dowager to queen mother while she resided in fading grandeur. britain he's austerity often symbolized post war britain. the bombed out sight on the south bank of the thames was identified as the foek cal point as nationwide, daring cultural events celebrating britain's past and looking to a new confident future. the modernist pavilions showcased britain design, arts and culture and introduced color into a bleak, gray cityscape that was atonic to the nation. it was a new dawn for enjoying life on modern terms with modern technology. and this exposure to contemporary culture coincided with nostalgic look to the nation's past. probably not dissimilar to the opening ceremony of london 2012 olympic games. so how to draw these strands to a close and to consider the place of british decorative arts in relation to the united states. certainly the 18th century of the chippendale style in new york reflects the political colonial experience and the 19th century reflects the embracing of commercial enterprise. the 20th

after princess elizabeth's succession as queen elizabeth ii in 1952, clarence house became the home of the dowager queen mother, where she resided in marvelous, gradually fading grandeur over the course of the next 50 years. britain's emergence from postwar austerity in the 1950's is often festival ofin the britain. site wasd out identified as the focal point for a series of nationwide bearing cultural events, celebrating britain's past and looking forward to a new confident future. the modernist pavilion showcased british design, arts and culture and introduced color into a bleak, gray cityscape that were a tonic to the nation. it was a new dawn for enjoying life on modern terms with modern technology. this exposure to contemporary culture coincided with a nostalgic look to the nation's past. probably not dissimilar to the opening ceremonies of london 2012 olympic games. how to draw these strands to a close and to consider the place of british art in relation to the united states? certainly the chippendale style in new york reflects the political colonial relationship and the appearan

he's closer to clarence thomas. that's significant when we're talking about the balance of this court. >> don't forget that anthony kennedy had two kinds of clerks. he had liberal clerks, but he also had conservative clerks. neil gorsuch was one of them. brett kavanaugh is one too. keep in mind, this establishment pick, he has over 300 opinions, as gloria was saying. and they're issues that the conservatives really like. issues of executive power and religious liberty. but there are some controversial ones too. he had a controversial opinion on the affordable care act and another one about some kinds of abortion restrictions. so those are out there, and these hearings are also going to feature george w. bush for his time there. some people wonder really, do they want to relitigate those issues, things that happened during the bush years, during those hearings. it's for sure going to come up. >> a classic washington insider from the george h.w. bush administration. all right, everyone. stick around. you can see arian

served in the same court that produced supreme court justices ruth bader ginsburg, antonin scalia, clarencerts. kavanaugh has been reliably conservative throughout most of his career dating back to 1989 when he was a student writing for the yale law journal. >> he ultimately was one of the authors of the starr report to congress that recommended a number of grounds for impeaching president clinton including, you know, a number of misstatements, obstruction of justice, things of that nature. >> reporter: kavanaugh went on to serve as counsel under the bush administration and is considered an establishment choice for the nomination. >> you'll find him to be a very calm and thoughtful man. >> reporter: tom bossert, former homeland security adviser under president trump, knows brett kavanaugh well from his time at the bush white house. >> what people will be most surprised about over the coming days and weeks will probably be the human side of judge kavanaugh. he is a very soft, very kind, very smart individual. >> reporter: despite overwhelming support tonight, his record has raised red flags

he's just not quite as conservative as clarence thomas and antonin scalia and probably neil gorsuch. i think i counted five cases where he sided with the liberals. you know, and none of them except for obamacare are the kind of ideological cases we think of. however, having said that, you know, for example, there's a case working its way up that tests -- it was brought by texas. that tests whether the pre-existing conditions mandate in the affordable care act that says you can't discriminate based on pre-existing conditions, whether that's unconstitutional. i have no idea where the members of the court stand on that. but it's a very big issue for lots of people who like the ban on discrimination against people who have pre-existing medical conditions. >> let me go back to cecile. it seems to me that we all watch the news, you watch particularly when it comes to reproductive rights. one of the causes out there is the 20-week limit. in other words, after 20 weeks of pregnancy you can't have an abortion. it seems to me that kind of a thing would be plausible, possibly accepted by the su

court now only one has ever expressed specifically what they would do on roe versus wade and that's clarence thomas and he is willing to overturn roe versus wade the other eight are not on the seven plus now this nominee are not on the record we can speculate about it one of the questions is going to be what will the challenge be and this goes back to part of why kavanagh was attractive to conservatives attractive to the trump white house attractive to senate republicans and that is it's not about political preferences it's not about the outcome that you want it's not about a judge acting as a legislator or it is about textualism and originalism these are two terms that mean a lot in conservative legal circles and they have been gaining mostly because of the legacy and the lifetime of service of antonin scalia textualism refers to looking at statues as sandy mentioned earlier looking at the actual language what is the language of the last say and interpret ing it very specifically originalism looks at the intent of the founders at the time the constitution was written and so if you are an or
