was absent from the conservative parliamentary group meeting on monday germany's conservatives are falling apart at the seams but merkel's conservatives remain optimistic. i think whoever has good intentions will in the end find a compromise so i say is deputy party leader we also support our party to angela merkel because she has good arguments and then. the dispute is about the details of germany's migration policy the bavarian c.s.u. party wants to turn away migrants who have already registered in another e.u. state or have already applied for asylum. the chancellor has always made it clear that this wouldn't be part of germany's migration policy something she reiterated once again to her own conservatives earlier today but the c.s.u. boss and german interior minister hosts a hoe for isn't about to back down quietly after a long meeting of his party delegates say hoover threatened in the early hours of monday to step down as interior minister as well the c.s.u. party leader. sort of said that both posts will be fake and that this will happen in the next three days and that we will now a

and propel young conservative and legalal intellectuals and i wonder if the conservative movement has this parallel organization in other areas. one of their was a federalist society for health care policy wonks who are center-right. effort --ffort the might the effort to reform health care might have gone smoother? he hasn't wavered and hasn't waffled hasn't gone back and forth on this. so far, knock on wood, things have gone well from a conservative perspective because of those institutions. one of the things i think conservatives learn is not to be out there speculating on how they may or may not judge someday. i think it would be unlikely to find anyone on that list who has really go out of their way to say i'm going to rule this way. without that, i think all the republican senators are probably inclined to vote for a drop nominee. -- a trump nominee. host: in the case of roe, does anything suggest for many of these three how they might vote aside from religious belief that your legal backbone or opinions? guest: i think in the case of amy coney barrett, she's only been on the be

launched the conservation initiative. three years later, his groundbreaking initiative facilitated a bipartisan dialogue with stakeholders from across the political spectrum. there resulted in three annual reports and adoption of a policy resolution and policy recommendations. this month released a discussion draft for endangered species act of 2015 based on the western association's principles and policies. earlier this year i received a support signed by the chair and vice chair, the governor of north dakota and hawaii. they commended our efforts to address this polarizing topic and an inclusive thoughtful matter. >> it off as meaningful, bipartisan solutions to be continued. the proposed bill is generally consistent with the western government association recommendation and they offer support for the portions of the bill consistent with existing governors policy. the draft was shaped by two committee hearings last year. >> we heard from a diverse bipartisan group, including former democrat governor of wyoming and fish

aid a minute ago they're all conservative but different kinds of conservative. what do you me by that? >> well, first of all, i think they're strong conservatives,k and i th can take that as a given because they have been vetted and approved the conservative federalist society which has helped construct the list for president trump of who should be, in their opinion, on the supreme court. even those who have been unhappen put with justice kennedy, conservatives unhappy ustice kennedy over the years, have not really eriticized the four short listers that the pdent is looking at. now, you're right, they're not all the same. they all espseriginalism and textualism, but to different degrees. some seem strongethan others. take them individually, you can see some of their differences in where they come from, where they were educated, take judge kavanaugh, for example, he's probably considered the most insider of the four short lister p martirtially geography. he's been here in washington, d.c. on the federal appellate court for 12 years. he has the pedigree president

justice to join the highest court in america they say brett kavanaugh is a public loyalist he's too conservative and the right wing so can he win an expected space confirmation battle in the senate this is inside story. i know they're welcome to the program i'm laura kyle the latest political battleground in the u.s. senate as soon set become donald trump's choice for supreme court judge the president's nomination a republican loyalist brett kavanaugh is opposed by democrats they say trumps trying to tilt the nine justices in the highest court in the land towards the conservative right of the groups have already begun spending millions of dollars to persuade senators to make the right choice when they vote in the or some confirmation is expected to shape the supreme court for at least a generation we'll get to our guests and a couple of moments but first john hendren has this report from washington. with all the suspense and drama of a reality t.v. show president trump picked the favorite tonight it is my honor and privilege to announce that i will nominate judge brett kavanaugh to the united st

supreme court has already begun a battle between liberals and conservatives that will cost millions of dollars and could dominate the november midterm elections mr trump's presentation and mr kavanagh's almost was a political campaign appealing less to judicial philosophy than to what people might think they were voting for as a political candidate if confirmed by a narrowly divided senate fifty three year old kavanagh is expected to tilt the nation's highest court decisively to the right in opposition to such issues as abortion and gay rights despite making this promise i believe that an independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic if confirmed by the senate i will keep an open minds in every case. and i will always strive to preserve the constitution of the united states and the american rule of law with respect to the constitution he believes in paying attention to what the framers thought they were writing when they wrote that language in that sense he's not going to be an attractive candidate for those of the more liberal persuasion. pro-abortion demonst

but if he is solidly conservative, replacing someone who is usually conservative, or traditionally conservative, is it that big of a swing on the court, is it really given especially the last years of opinions by this court where anthony kennedy was with a 5-4 majority on every opinion of great consequence? >> that's a good point laura, you will see a lot of scare tactics. kennedy was not a moderate or liberal, he was for the most part a conservative justice especially in issues like separation of powers, federalism, areas of religious freedom, free exercise in particular. weaw saw the last term and he voted with the conservative majority of the court, 75% of the time. so this is hyped up. and we know why, because the left wants to have a court that. is outcome based. they want to make sure that they get results from the court that they know they can't get through the political process. >> that hits the nail on the head, does it not? we now have a federal court system that is doing the difficult and ugly jobs of legislating them. you know this as well, barack obama had a profound effect on our

conservatives means a lot of things, the editor of the american spectator, a conservative journal for many years, i started reading it in college, in law school, but he said conservatism is a cast of mines. it is a way of looking at things. being a little cautious sometimes and not -- and not unassuming as some or many of the people today, if they can remake history, and the world can be entirely different, a few years from now, history doesn't tell us that is not going to happen. we need to be cautious about things and sometimes. i just would say to you, i am proud of you, that you would work hard to prepare yourself for the challenges in college. because it is a different world there. sometimes one we have been and and i want to say -- [ cheering ] a lot of people love the way sandra thinks. don't you? kanye west, he likes that. he's got the same kind of energy that he said the president has, i have to say. actually that is a very good description of the president of the united states. the man has extraordinary energy. he has been gifted with it, it allows him to be a constant leade

here in the united states and in many other countries around the world liberal versus conservative as most popular political construct of the day. anomic class and race political parties and beliefs are often used as the great dividers in a society here in the united states this is most often represented geographically with the snobby over educated liberals enjoying the coastal cities while the god fearing un educated conservatives and have it the middle of the country or fly over states and never saw the two meet unless at family reunions are in political talk shows and that's where filmmaker john mcgovern comes out with this new documentary film and titled the other side a liberal democrat explores conservative america and the film mcgovern forces as liberal self to travel across the country and into the fly over states to meet and better understand the conservatives who are so opposite his own political beliefs our own johnstone caught up with mcgovern to discuss this new film and the divides between right and left that are tearing so many apart. from time to time we liberals try t

there's an argument within the conservative world about what is it mean to be conservative. this is an argument i went to engage in. i'm not person in that context. i'm happy to publish people from a broad range of perspectives. i'm happy to publish people from the left saying conservativism is a bad thing. what i would say in relation to that is that i find it more interesting these days to publish cookbooks on left and-- critical books from left and right. right-wing attacks on liberals, i find we have run that out. i don't find it that interesting trick you can still publish those books and sell them, but they don't excite me. what i'm interested in is the sectarian argument about sites. you know, the argument between the left and the liberal is fascinating. i have a number of one of the other writers i've signed up on the left who you didn't mention is nathan robinson who's also the other of a magazine millennial socialist intellectuals called "american affairs" and he's a brilliant young author. i plan to publish all of them because i'm-- is the millennial generation is

it is about criminalizing it ostracizing female conservatives for being female and conservative.considers it and ideological felony to be a woman and conservative, and even more than that, a capital offense to bebe a minority and and a femaa conservative. that is what this is really about. >> judge jeanine: pam, what she says is so true. you were in a movie theater, and have gone to universities, i have had security, and going forward, it doesn't sound like they are doing anything to tamp it down. what should republicans, conservative women do? >> first of all, you want to be bullied, michelle won't be bullied, sarah won't be bullied, ivanka won't be bullied but the other side has got to stop it. you've got to just unequivocally, all of our democrat friends out there who we all know need to come out and say, stop it for you to stop it, this isn't right. someone is going to get hurt. and i told you, there was a state representative with their children being screamed at and a harassed by the same people who came after me. women attacking women, it's got to stop. >> judge jeanine: m

, burn down the law conservatives, executive power conservatives so i think there are real distinctions between them. and in particular between kavanagh and hardiman, the last two standing. i think kavanagh is a classic, insider's insider, known to everyone in d.c., and also a real sort of intellectual leader, has something of an agenda. hardima hardiman, by contrast, a definite outsider, both very likable, but not at all a sort of agenda driven conservative. >> liberals may be thinking, oh, this is my worst nightmare, trump getting a second pick and making it more down the middle and more conservative. do they have cause for concern with these picks? or is there a chance that some of them are not going to be as conservative as maybe they're made out to be? i mean i know there were circumstances where justice suitor didn't come out as conservatives had hoped he would. >> i think that lesson has been very well learned by republican presidents, and there wosht be another suit sorrier. i think there are issues that don't matter. there's an issue of we have consolidated our vote. he release

i am less of a conservative in the same way that alan was not really a conservative. someone who is interested in argument. and ideas. in seeing where -- let's see where the logos wants to go. that is a beautiful thing. we will see. ideas are alive. they have spiritual reality. we do not invent them. they come to us. they go through us into the world. we are at times profile of all point. if it is true that our culture has become overly polarized and people no longer argue in a respectful way one another, i'm sure i'd something to do with that. >> yeah. i had something to do with it. as an editor, i had to adapt and adjust to the conditions to which i operate. this is a business. every time something comes in, we consider it. does it meet our standards? does it reflect our tastes, if you will. certainly in the early phase of my career when we were on the attacking kind of charging up san juan hill, we were outnumbered. there was a sense that we were at war. it has been a war. can you give an example of a culture war? do you agree with alexandra holter of the new york

it is not a litmus test for the conservatives.et me read you a quote that comes from donald trump. he says "that'll happen automatically in my opinion because i'm putting pro-life justices on the court. it'll go back to the states, and the states and can make the determination." this is not a secret to liberals, and it's not a secret to conservatives. he wants justices who will undo roe v. wade. >> kimberly: i don't know if he wants to undo, but the pro-life floor in terms of their viewpoint, he was pretty specific with maria saying he wasn't going to ask that question or single it out. versus a constitutionalist that would uphold the constitution and construe and read the case law. >> dana: he said that during the campaign, right? >> juan: rights. >> dana: he said i will work to nominate conservative justices. senator mcconnell has worked to confirm conservative justices. even if the president never asked them what the litmus test, that's the idea. >> juan: "the federalist" society. a >> kimberly: it's one of the factors he campa

>> ...conservatives... >> entitlements. house passed a budget every year since i was budget chair, every session since i was budget chair, paying off the debt, balancing the budget, but we have not been able to get these bills through the senate onto the president's desk, and there's where our challenge lies. >> there are many challenges, as you've just made clear. paul ryan, thank you for joining me on the first episode of "firing line." >> congratulations. thank you, margaret. appreciate it. >> thanks. >> "firing line with margaret hoover" is made possible by... corporate funding is provided by... you're watching pbs. announcer: nature cat is supported by the van eekeren family, founders of land o'frost, a company that's built on family. helping families grow for generations... and we're proud to share moments of togetherness... from our family to yours... today and everyday. and by...the hamill family foundation. the segal family foundation. irving harris foundation. the arthur vining davis foundations. polk brothers fou

tonight, are women's rights at risk as president trump prepares to name his choice to cement conservativeol of the supreme court. my conversation with the prominent conservative mona charon whose controversial new book "sex matters" looks at the cost of modern feminism. also ahead, truth and myth. professor alexander betts on the times immigration and what nations must do to ensure sustainable migration. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> welcome to the program, everyone. i'm christiane amanpour in london. the pendulum of justice is about to swing even further to the right, possibly for decades to come in the highest court in america. president trump reportedly has narrowed down his supreme court short list to a top three and says he'll soon announce his nominee. with a conservative voice on the supreme court and another one, some fear and some hope that roe versus wade landmark ruling on a woman's right to choose could be overturned in the not too distant future. to discuss this, i am joined by a reagan conservative columnist mona charan, and her new book calls for a sexual counter revolution because she think

that is an issue conservatives can win. it is dangerous to go down the road of curtailing speech, curtailing education. it is bad in high schools in terms of not reading books because people are triggered by them. people making these decisions are often baby boomers, not millennials. >> speaking of suppressing speech. i know a bunch of you have been hitting questions over. let's take a few for the panel. she is bringing them up. >> what about climate change? i'm interested in that personally. how much is that a showstopper? >> a big reason why it is an impediment is because young people are more likely to perceive they will be affected by the issue than older folks. you don't see around things like social security, the things people say, this is going .o be generational warfare young people do not want to take social security away from parents and grandparents. but young people think climate change is a thing we are going to have to deal with, if you are telling us you do not care about us by not dealing with it. it is not

there is an argument within the conservative world about what does it mean to be conservative and this is an argument i want to engage in. i am not partisan in that context. i am happy to publish people from a broad range of perspectives and happy to publish people from the left that say conservatism is a bad thing. i would say i find it more interesting these days to publish critical books on the left and right from left and right. right-wing attacks on liberals i find what kind of run that out. you can still publish those books and sell them, but they don't excite me. what i'm interested in is the sectarian arguments on both sides. the arguments between the left and the neoliberals. one of the writers i signed up on the righ the rights that yout mention is made in robinson who is also the editor of a magazine of some millennial socialist intellectuals called american affairs and he's a brilliant young author and stable writer, clandestine plan to publish all of them. but the millennial generation this is what we should be talking about. if i could hand the keys to the conservative in

, or conservative leaning, without a doubt, for the next generation. >> i think conservative leaning. i don't think you can say conservative yet. it's a history of the supreme court shows they have their independent mooits minds that they use. justice roberts might turn out to be more moderate than people think. we don't know. i value intellect, i value temperament as opposed to positions taken. i want to see what kinds of minds our justices have. that's the most important thing. a lot of it from the right and the left, you go too far how far change can go. and especially for an institution like the supreme court. we'll see. >> and, dennis, with respect to the hearing itself, what do you think some of these candidates, or nominees are going through right now, meeting with the president, four have met, two more as i understand it are going to be meeting with him. how do you think they communicate to him without him asking the question, how conservative and supportive they would be? >> i think we have to take the president at his word that he hasn't asked for a litmus test. i think ther

it's with moderates and conservative democrats. jon kyl doesn't necessarily have relationships, especially with those democrats, because they're new to the senate and he was from a previous generation. >> what is the -- we know he's going to be the sherpa. what's the white house expecting of him? >> well, they want him to make sure and that he's prepped on the internal side and all the meetings go well. whenever you have a judicial nominee, supreme court nominee, you pay a lot of house calls. these are somewhere between informal and formal where they sit down with united states senators and have a conversation away from the cameras about what the judicial philosophy would be. most of the supreme court nominees are very careful not to give any indication of how they will rule. and that's what gives you -- makes some of these choices so interesting is there's such a short paper trial with amy coney barrett, if she is the choice of the senators behind closed doors. >> if we get word on who the president has chosen earlier than 9 p.m.,

some conservatives believed that paved the way and other conservative say that's a misreading of the case because if you look at the minority opinion from the supreme court and the individual mandate, they really bought into what kavanaugh had been saying in his opinions. now come up with the tea leaves pointed toward kavanaugh, it could also be thomas hardiman from the third circuit court of appeals. he was a finalist for the supreme court supreme court vacancy left by the death of anthem antonin scalia last year. the president's sister recommended him last year and the president really liked him, we are told and almost picked him to replace gorsuch, but didn't. that's where we are at 8:00 tonight, but either way you cut it, ed, there's going to be a huge battle in the senate with democrats to confirm the president's picked. the president has 50 votes in the senate so if he gets every republican, he could do it, it would be 50-49, but he would also like to get some democrats which is why they are targeting joe donnelly and heidi heitkamp. >> ed: that's right, john all over the drama

conservatives him -- conservatism is a lot of things.onservative journal for many years, i started reading it in college, law school, and he says conservatism is a cast of mines, a way of looking at things, it's being a little cautious sometimes and assuming is some people today, that they can remake history in the world can be entirely different a few years from now. history doesn't tell us that is likely to happen. we need to be cautious about things sometimes. i would say to you, i am proud of you that you would work hard to prepare yourself for the challenges at college. because it's a different world there. sometimes from the one we have been in., to think candace owens, -- i want to thank candace owens, i know a lot of people like the way candace thinks. don't you? she has the same kind of dragon energy that the president has i have to say. actually that is a very good description of the president of the united states. the man has extraordinary energy. he has been gifted with it and it allows him to be a constant leader every singl

some conservatives claimed that showed a lack of fire for conservative causes.do you make of that? >> i don't know if i would call it a proceduralist. of all of his opinions, the one that brought the most of criticism from conservatives is individual mandate challenges. where he says the case wasn't ripe for the court because of its procedure in a tax context. neil: he was right at the time. >> in his broader body of cases on the separation of powers and agency structure and the deference courts give to agencies, he's been good on these substantive questions. i would call him a accept raiption of powers guy. -- a separation of powers guy. neil: thank you very much, adam white. there are some protests on the choice the president is going to make, no matter who it is. you already see a crowd at the supreme court. no matter which way the no matter which way the president goes, they won't i have to tell you something incredible. capital one has partnered with hotels.com to give venture cardholders 10 miles on every dollar they spend at thousands of hotels. all you h

i have a couple of slides about the future of the conservative movement, and what ideas the conservative movement should be talking about, how to think about that. real quick, housekeeping notes, when i talk about future of conservatism of going to talk about the future of the republican party, because in american politics, the republican party is the vehicle for the movement of conservatism. republican party is the vehicle for the movement of conservatism. about threelk you points, are republicans winning now, can they keep winning, and what should happen after that? this is one i put together when i was working at my last job. is, it is an index across a bunch of levels of government, which party has power when. 2016.ther way to higher, black line is the republicans have more power and when it is lower, the democrats have more power. if you follow it all the way you see 2016,d, republicans actually have a lot of power. partye-trumped republican had a good strategy for winning elections. ofy did not get a ton nonwhite voters, black voters, hispanic voters, but the free trump political p

some conservatives claimed that showed a lack of fire for conservative causes.ake of that? >> i don't know if i would call it a proceduralist. of all of his opinions, the one that brought the most of criticism from conservatives is individual mandate challenges. where he says the case wasn't ripe for the court because of its procedure in a tax context. neil: he was right at the time. >> in his broader body of cases on the separation of powers and agency structure and the deference courts give to agencies, he's been good on these substantive questions. i would call him a accept raiption of powers guy. -- a separation of powers guy. neil: thank you very much, adam white. there are some protests on the choice the president is going to make, no matter who it is. you already see a crowd at the supreme court. no matter which way the president goes, they won't like the way it's going. so no matter what you trade, or where you trade, you'll only pay $4.95. fidelity. open an account today. jardiance asked: when it comes to managing your type 2 diabetes, what matters to y

a staunch conservative. he was known as your guest pointed out the runner-up and doesn't trump feel like he owes him this time around. the same circuit as president trump's sister. and he's in town. again. it would be ironic, shep, because he's on the judicial conference of the united states, which typically meets up at the supreme court. so there's a chance that the supreme court nominee is at the supreme court today. wouldn't that be ironic? >> shepard: it would indeed. these confirmation battles, the first i remember and the biggest one that sort of kicked off this long string of them, i was a senior in college and it was my senior year in 1987. the bork confirmation hearing came up. it was a battle royale. you wonder if we're about to see something similar. >> it would be difficult to bork as it's become know in the vernacular. somebody like hardiman or kavanaugh. the wore i have is with kavanaugh that they may get some dissension from conservatives that don't like his 2011 ruling on obamacare. borking k

>> ...conservatives... >> entitlements. house passed a budget every year since i was budget chair, every session since i was budget chair, paying off the debt, balancing the budget, but we have not been able to get these bills through the senate onto the president's desk, and there's where our challenge lies. >> there are many challenges, as you've just made clear. paul ryan, thank you for joining me on the first episode of "firing line." >> congratulations. thank you, margaret. appreciate it. >> thanks. >> "firing line with margaret hoover" is made possible by... corporate funding is provided by... you're watching pbs. >>> welcome to amanpour on pbs. tonight he exposed one of the start up scams in silicone valley history. john carry on the multimillion blood business too good to be true. >> plus, how the west has failed the people of syria and talk of a trump-putin bargain to keep assad in power. >>> good evening, everyone and welcomo

he's not a rabid conservative, and that might not sit well with rabid conservatives. as if they had somewhere else to go, but what do you make of that? [laughter] >> when you're an originalist like i am, neil, it's not as important where a judge comes out on any one particular case, what's important is the legal reasoning they use to get there. and time and again judge kavanaugh has been thoughtful, careful and clear in his legal writing, and he's also been skeptical of federal government power which i think in an age of increasing administrative and regulatory authority is incredibly important on the supreme court. neil: go ahead, finish that, i'm sorry. >> i was just going to say i take him at his word when he said what's important to him, if he's confirmed as a justice will be, first, to be independent, second to interpret the law as written and, third, to stick to the text of the constitution. i think those are three really important characteristics in a supreme court justice. neil: three out of the four candidates the president was considering were catholics, and

place where conservatives can win. what is happening really is bad on campuses and in high schools for that matter in terms of not reading certain books because people might get trigger and all. that that is a fight worth fighting. the people making the decisions are often the baby boomers. >> speaking of suppressing speech, i do not want to do that on this panel. a bunch of you have been handing questions over. let's take a few questions for the familiar. she is bringing them up. >> i am going to ask a question. what about climate change? i have been sort of interested in that personally in the last couple of years. how much is that a show stopper if you seem to be denying that it is any problem at all? how much is that a show-stopper in getting support from the millennials. >> young people are much more likely to perceive they will be affected by the issue than older folks. they don't see things around issues like medicare. young people do not want to take the social security away from their parents and grandparents.

will be conservative will be very likely to join in a five to four conservative majority possibly overturning things like the roe v wade one nine hundred seventy three decision on abortion and when it comes to cavanagh he has worked for president george w. bush's staff secretary he worked for kenneth starr who prosecuted bill clinton and he eventually joined the republican side in the two thousand election battled bush v gore that was ultimately decided in favor of president george w. bush whom he ultimately came to work for and intriguingly kavanagh has been outspoken about saying that a sitting president cannot be indicted that might just be too tempting for donald trump to resist at a time when he's being pursued by a special counsel himself. john let's look past this because that at some point there is going to be i know many made by donald trump and it is going to be a conservative leaning so what happens next how a both sides of the house gearing up for the the congressional hearings that are going to take place. well in a formal sense what the republicans do is they pair up the nominee

your conservative rhetoric and the conservative thinker, what price you pay for being so critical ofdonaldtrump ? >> i don't call myself a never altrumper. i thought that term lost its relevance after the election. i call myself a trump skeptic. sometimes he says he'll agree with him when he doesn't agree with him. i think all of those labels are a little abit of thought but i just take the position that no offense, i know you were a grand who bought in the worldof journalism . i think most journalistic ethics is a justification for the guild that runs the columbia journalism's school in northwestern but one of the things i take seriously is that it's part of my job not to live. i won't say things that i don't believeto be true . one of the most painful things would be to hear from longtime fans and friends who are essentially disappointed me to say i failed to live down to their expectations and they thought that once he's president or once he got the nomination i would have to fall in line and become, that's not my job. it cost me friends. it's very disruptive of what you might call my b

nearly half the conservative party supported leave.eron has supported at how many more would have done so. we had a referendum and parliament handed this decision to the british people. where the house of commons to find itself in a position where we were not accepting it or were determined to do that it so much it is unrecognisable as a vote to take back our self—government, it would be like saying next general election, jeremy corbyn is elected but business don't like him and the civil service don't like and so we will not him —— will not have him as prime minister. you cannot do that ina prime minister. you cannot do that in a democracy. the vote has to be respected and the prime minister made that clear in her remarks this evening. thank you very much. further to what he was saying, we have had our statement from the solicitor general that a question of leadership has been put to bed. if you had said that, earlier today i would have it in your hand off. so perhaps at the moment she has seen off the challenge. perhaps it is a case o

it is a conservative thing, friends. it is conservative to be cautious and careful.o say, "my goodness, we have a wonderful constitution." [applause] a.g. sessions: it has protected us. very few people in the world have anything like this. we have got to defend it and the heritage and the freedom and the prosperity and has brought forth for us. president trump's strong leadership. the department of justice is doing its part to protect the republic and protecting the right of speech and debate. [applause] we are going to court. we are going to court to protect students around america, and we are winning court cases. the university of california -- californiaedly berkeley, and allegedly had a been to apeakers conservative groups. they appear to have almost complete discretion over the time, the places and conditions for hosting campus speakers. that discretion of allowed them to have apply different rules to arbitrarypeople in an way. a group of students argued that that is precisely what the university did, they alleged that by placing unrealistic burdens on conservat

she's think he's very conservative. others don't think he is they would prefer amy barrett who has a stronger record they think and more likely to overturn roe v. wade if that ever came before the court. that may be a reason that the president doesn't choose amy barrett because she may not get confirmation, may lose susan collins and you can't lose republicans in this fight especially if the democrats come together. there's infighting here. we will find out tomorrow but a lot of people think all the picks are pretty conservative and you can't go wrong with either of them. julie: other top candidates include amy coney barrett, you just mentioned, raymond kethledge, also served as federal appeals court judges, also thomas hardiman sits on the philadelphia based 3rd circuit court of appeals. barrett is young, catholic, a conservative, especially when it comes to her stance on antiabortion. she is also a woman. she was a front-runner up until days ago, you know, the sentiment might be that she might be falling behind. how m
