they cannot block amy coney barrett's coffin fir nation barrett's condition fir magts if they have thees. they can slow it down, perhaps some options on the floor, but i think that the big question now, how do democrats want to approach this. do they want to try procedural wrenches into play, no the meet with the nominee, not show up for the hearings or try to use the hearings to talk about issues that they believe will help them politically? no fibnals have been made. i think that the idea right now is that they are leaning towards let's go through the full. probably 50 ther/50 over who 3m with the nominee. and they understand that there is nothing that they can do to stop the nomination. and the first thing to keep an eye on, next week mitch mcconnell on tuesday i'm told is expected it to meet with amy coney barrett, and so expect lindsey graham to follow shortly thereafter. and then one of the big questions will be how much of those democrats decide to sit down with the anonymous knee. and already senator blumenthal hats said that he wijrkts hats will not. >> so very significant. an

confirmation hearings for judge amy coney barrett are set to begin in just a little over two weeks on2th. if senate majority leader mitch mcconnell sticks to this proposed schedule we showed you, judge barrett may be confirmed just days before the november election. with me now pulitzer prize winner michael schmidt, and author of "the new york times" best-seller "donald trump: versus the united states, inside the trouble to stop a president." and suhail kapur. that is a breakneck pace. is that really what we're going to be seeing? >> it looks like it. and it looks like they have the votes and the ability and the control to do that. but i think the most important thing for us for understanding what's going on today and what's going to happen in the next few weeks is this type of nomination, this type of justice is the umbilical cord between the president and his base. it has been the thing that has allowed the president to behave and get into trouble in ways that other presidents haven't been able to survive. and it has allowed the president to have this tie to the republican party in

why is the amy coney barrett nomination so troubling? american people should make no mistake about it. a vote for judge barrett is a vote to take away health care and its protections for over 130 million americans who now have protections against pre-existing conditions. for over 40 million americans that pay less for drugs on medicare. close to 10 million americans that will lose their health care all together. a vote for amy coney barrett is you a dagger aimed at the heart of the health care protections americans so desperately need and want. by nominating judge barrett to the supreme court, president trump has put americans' health care at grave risk and

what is the strategy in choosing coney barrett over lagoa? >> coney barrett is more conservative.hasn't been on the courts as long. coney barrett energizes conservative christians and those oppose abortion. it is clear that the president is trying to court a group of conservatives with this choice. >> morgan, what does your reporting tell you about the benefits for republicans? confirming coney barrett before the election or after? >> trump made clear he wants to have coney barrett confirmed before the election. it is clear that republicans are setting up a strategy quickly. barrett is expected to meet with senators next week on capitol hill. i have been told we are expecting some confirmations within the next two weeks and setting up a vote for the end of october which is a very quick process. >> josh, i want to turn to you now. we know barrett was a member of the federalist society. what can you tell us that group and its shaping on the court as we know it? >> this is the group over the last 20 years has been increasingly influential during republican presidencies in determining

so they attack amy coney barrett's family. e abortion industry lobby group tweeted that barrett "belongs to a group believes that husbands are in charge of their wives." larry is considering amy barrett's life and she seems pretty self-directed but other outlets places like politico and the guardian suggested that barrett belongs to a cold. they said the usual partisan operatives and think takes exist to give way to fake stories. in fact, barrett is a member of the mainstream christian group and part of the renewal movement that started in the '70s. of tens of millions of charismatic christians around the world. this is not a fringe sect. in fact, some members of people are actually politically liberal it turns out. one indication of this is pope francis. one of the auxiliary bishops from portland, oregon. but the details aren't the point of this. attacking christianity is the point of this. why do they hate christianity, at its core, christianity is a threat to the left because it acknowledges an authority higher than the demo

particularly given the fact that judge amy coney barrett is 48 years old.he could serve on this bench for a long time to come. but, of course, there are political implications in the short-term as well. the president and his campaign certainly hoping that this will rev up his conservative base, encourage them to turn out to the polls on november 3rd in droves. there is a question about the impact this will have on the left. democrats who have been criticizing president trump for moving ahead with this nomination before election day, they are driving home the point that this could really not only fundamentally alter the balance of power on the supreme court, but put into question things like obamacare and those pre-existing conditions, the protections for those pre-existing conditions. a case on obamacare is coming before the court in a matter of weeks and the white house certainly hopes that judge amy coney barrett will be on the court by that point. we should note, of course, a majority of americans, nearly 6 in 10 americans, believe it is the president wh

hilarious considering amy coney barrett's life. she seems self corrected. veral other outlets suggest she belongs to a cult. they are betting that you don't know the first thing about religion. in fact, barrett is part of a mainstream christian group as a part of the charismatic renewal movement that started in the 70s. tens and millions of charismatic christians around the world. this is not a fringe sect. in fact, some members are actually liberal it turns out.ra one of the. the details are not the point of this. attacking christianity is the point of this. why do they hate christianity? because at its core, christianity is a threat to the left because it is acknowledges authority higher than the tick of a producdemocratic national . duringst her first confirmation hearing, the dogma lives in you. that mayba be her dogma may be more powerful and enduring than the democratic party's dogma. the very idea of that is deeply offensive to them. watch mazie hirono explained that attacks on barrett's personal faith are fair game. >> of course i will question judge

what's the preparation like for amy coney barrett ahead of a confirmation like this? >> it's an intensive process, i ran this process for justice gorsuch when he went through this process and judge barrett is an extraordinarily smart, extraordinarily qualified and go through her rulings on the 7th circuit the last three plus years and go through her academic writings the at notre dame law school where she served as a professor. she may have to look at what she wrote when she was on the supreme court a law clerk to the late justice scalia. and she wrote bench notes and those could be public depending on the timing when the library releases those. she needs to go through and look at her record, refresh her record and be prepared to answer the senator's questions and unapologetically defend her conservative record. leland: there's her conservative record and the issue that john roberts brought up. we already saw the attack by dianne feinstein and others on amy coney barrett based on her religion. how do you prepare for something like that? >> well, we saw a test run of th

a vote for amy coney barrett is you a dagger aimed at the heart of the health care protections americans so desperately need and want. by nominating judge barrett to the supreme court, president trump has put americans' health care at grave risk and as covid-19 continues and we need more health care, the nomination by president trump of amy coney barrett will mean less health care for over 100 million americans. health care is the most important issue on the ballot to americans and as americans learn judge barrett's views on health care and so many other issues, she will become less and less popular and hopefully they will call their senators and say don't vote for someone who will take away my health care. what is donald trump and what is judge barrett going to tell parents who have kids with pre-existing conditions, that they can't get health care? the insurance companies can pull the rug out from under them? that is so wrong. and when it comes to eliminating health care, the aca, pre-existing conditions, president trump has found the deciding vote. judge barrett herself strongly criti

on the new story about trump's taxes and more on what's at stake in the supreme court as amy coney barrett's and center and the boycott talks is already beginning. will it matter at all? we'll talk about the covid-19 restrictions affecting the debate as well as those interviews with barrett. and michigan gop senate candidate john james on how the high court drama could impact his race to become the senator from michigan. don't miss a minute. we have a lot to go over. i'm taking attendance. gradually get dressed, unless you're in a zoom class today, then it doesn't matter. just a shirt. don't forget your lunch! i'm making pizza on king's hawaiian mini subs. yum! king's hawaiian. jillian: welcome back. the president firing back after the new york times reports he paid no federal income tax for 10 of the past 15 years. >>> the times report claims the president paid only 75 $750 in taxes the year he was elected and again during his first year in office. the president says the report is completely false. >> total fake news. actually, i paid tax. we should give those pulitzer prizes back because e

amy coney barrett has been very serious about that. but they have different philosophies of the law, she's originalist, she looks back to the original text and meaning of the constitution. that's a very specific position, very different from somebody who thinks about the constitution as something that is very living and should be interpreted through the modern era. and, of course, one's positions are reflected through that legal analysis. so there is a lot at stake. i think if we look at amy coney barrett's positions on any number of issues, they are deeply embedded in legal analysis. but, of course, they reflect a certain -- a certain view of the law and of precedent. so there is a lot at stake. we have seen how this plays out. but i think really when you talk about moving a court from 5-4 to 6-3 leading conservative, that ability to kind of, you know, for chief justice roberts to be a deciding vote is really changing. so there is a lot at stake. >> all right, so many more questions, but we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much

so, what do we know about his reported pick, amy coney barrett? judge on the circuit court of appeals, a position she was nominated to by president trump. she's 48 years old, was born in new orleans, and has seven children. previously, she served as a clerk for the conservative supreme courtjustice antonin scalia, who died in 2016. and she's described as a devout catholic, making her a favourite among religious conservatives. speaking to reporters earlier, president trump said he'd made his decision but refused to confirm who it was. well i haven't said it was her, but she is outstanding, they are all outstanding. they are all very outstanding people. top—of—the—line academically, and every way possible. so... our north america correspondent david willis told us more about amy coney barrett. amy coney barrett is a devout catholic, she is the mother of seven, and a8, if indeed this does proved to be the case, then she would be the youngest member of the united states supreme court panel. she would be replacing ruth bader ginsburg, a liberal icon, a

supreme court of amy coney barrett.are just two days and eight hours away from the first debate between president trump and joe biden in person on a stage, obviously, socially distanced from one another and our own chris wallace there to ask questions. and you can feel that pressure already building. i want to get right to mike emmanuel to take it from here. mike? >> reporter: harris, good afternoon. democrats think they may be able to extend the process a bit but don't seem confident they can derail this nomination. today a key senate judiciary democrat spoke about what is at stake. >> what's at issue is both this rush to partisan confirmation in which president trump has told us he's choosing someone who will overturn roe v. wade, he's choosing someone who will overturn the aca, and he's choosing someone who president trump himself says he will need to put their thumb on the scales so that he can win the next election. >> reporter: judge amy coney barrett is a 48-year-old mother of seven from the great state of louisi

question in to mitch mcconnell as he is now being introduced formally and officially to judge amy coney barrett by vice president mike pence, barrett, of course, the nominee for that supreme court seat left vacant by the death of justice ruth bader ginsburg. this idea that barrett should recuse herself from any election-related cases is one that is coming up specifically, hearing more of it from democrats who feel like, hey, if coney barrett is confirmed and she's the president's pick, she should not have a say. if there is some sort of issue that the supreme court needs to decide on as it relates to the 2020 election. >> reporter: i think we'll hear that during the confirmation hearing. they intend to ask coney barrett those questions directly. you heard mitch mcconnell doing what he does so well, not answering a question he doesn't want to engage with. for viewers at home, this is a little bit of a covid era change in how the meetings are typically done. that was the mansfield rooms, that's where lunches are typically held. all meetings will be in that room rather than going to office to offi

it was judged amy coney barrett. we knew from the beginning she was on the top of president trump's list. what this really does is so he lit did i phi and under score what president trump plans to do. white house chief of staff, mark meadows, just after the pomp and circumstance of the rolling out of her name, he told me, we plan and hope to have this wrapped up by november 1st. he's being very clear on the time line. democrats want to slow it down. the white house feels pretty confident that they can get judge barrett confirmed. >> let's play a clip from amy coney barrett regarding ruth bader ginsberg's legacy. here is part of what she said. >> should i be confirmed, i will be mindful of who came before me. the flag of the united states is still flying at half staff in memory of justice ruth bader ginsberg to mark the end of a great american life. she not only broke glass ceilings, she smashed them. for that she has won the admiration of women across the country and, indeed, all over the world. >> what's your sense
