cornyn: and does not have any way out.resident zelenskyy is trying to think of way of how to achieve their goals which is to restore ukrainian sovereignty, while giving president putin some way out of this, where he can save face. this is the reason why putin is so dangerous. although it is not part of their doctrine to use it tactical nuclear weapons in a situation like this, he does have them. they keep mentioning them. that would be a tragedy for everyone involved. it is a very delicate matter. but it is going to have to be dealt with. i agree, with what ben said, this looks like it is going to continue for some time. >> senator cardin, one of our questions asks about the role of civil society and nongovernmental organizations in terms of providing aid to ukrainian refugees and other kinds of humanitarian assistance. as chairman of the house safety commission, can you speak to what you have seen of the contributions of civil society to aiding ukrainian people during this tragedy of war against them? sen. cardin: one of

cornyn: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from texas. mr. cornyn: mr. president, later this week, perhaps in a day or two, the senate will vote on the nomination of judge ketanji brown jackson to serve as a member of the united states supreme court. last week i laid out my -- the reasons for my opposition to this nomination and yesterday i voted against her nomination in the judiciary committee. but i want to make clear that my vote against judge jackson is not a rebuke of her legal knowledge, her experience, or her character. judge jackson is obviously very smart. she has vast practical experience, which i think is very useful. she's likable and she's very clearly passionate about her work. the senate's constitutional duty to provide advice and consent, though, requires us to look beyond judge jackson's resume and personality to understand her judicial philosophy and the lens through which she views her role as a judge. certainly the senate must evaluate whether judge jackson will act fairly and impartially. we've also got to make a judgment whether sh

so why do you think -- and i asked senator cornyn this.n the polling, given the concerns about what we're going to see happening at the border, why do you think we're not seeing a pivot from the white house on this issue? >> because the hard left controls their party. they are ideologs that run the department of homeland security. that is secretary mayorkas. he thinks anyone that comes to our border should be allowed to come into our country, stay in our country and never been sent home. there's 1.1 million people who have went through the court process. they have had their day in court and the judges said you're not entitled to stay here that they're not sending back. they're just staying here. this is their policy. this is what their doing for the country. i don't know the motivation but it seems to me that is what they believe. they believe what i think secretary clinton said several years ago in a presidential campaign. they believe in a borderless hemisphere and we're seeing that play out in real time on our southwest border. >> marth

chair durbin: senator cornyn? sen. cornyn: justice robert jackson famously said the supreme court is not final because it is infallible. it is infallible only because it is final. i trust that would not be the case if the american people saw the supreme court as just another political branch. in simple terms, it means the supreme court is the last word in interpreting and applying our laws through the 70 to 80 cases it decides to hear each year. mainly because it is seen as an umpire, not as a player. while i view the judicial branch as the crown jewel of our constitutional republic, it has over the years gotten out of its lane on more than one occasion by acting like another political branch. over the years, the supreme court has developed various legal doctrines like substantive due process to create new rights out of whole cloth. rights that are neither in the text nor what the framers ever envisioned that these rights existed or would be created by nine unelected judges at the time of the founding. by investing fed

cornyn: i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be dispensed with.he presiding officer: without objection. mr. cornyn: madam president, the senate is now, of course, back in session following a two-week homework period as we refer to it. that's when we get to go back home and see our friends and constituents and travel around our states and in my case, representing 29 million texans, that entails a fair amount of travel, but it's always good to get reconnected with your friends, neighbors, and constituents. i know we're eager to hit the ground running here this week and certainly we have a lot to do. for example, the conference committee process for the china competitiveness bill will begin soon and i'm eager to work with the fellow members of the conference committee to reach a strong bipartisan bill. the long list of unrelated partisan provisions in the house bill, though, have no place, in my opinion, in if the final agreement. but i'm ready to get the ball running so we can pass a bill that serves the american people, our economy and most importa

when asked by senator cornyn if she believed that natural law is reflected in the bill of rights, she stated that she, quote, would interpret the bill of rights based on the methods of constitutional interpretation, the supreme court employs. not based on principles derived from natural law, close quote. these responses eliminate any hope that i had that even if judge jackson interprets and applies statutes incorrectly, she would still be guided by our founding documents. every part of judge jackson's record -- that is every part that we've been given -- seems to indicate something of a desire to separate herself from grounding principles in order to reach her desired outcomes. this is why judicial philosophy matters. this is why it isn't just some esoteric exercise for law nerds. this is why it matters and should matter to every american. when a judge can impose their own policy views in contradiction of the expressed will of the people through their elected representatives in congress, it doesn't just undermine our representative system of government. as we've seen here, it can put

addition to him, 18 other gop senators from lindsey graham to john cornyn, mitch mcconnell and mitt romneyonto eight senate bill last summer. it is called the united states innovation and competition at. it is going to be the foundation of what the senate once in its negotiations with the house. according to political, the package they may support what award china with tariff exemptions that at more than 2200 imports that them under trump along with a directive to reopen the exception process for more good. remember, after americans saw how much of our drug supply came from china, and how much of our ppe was made in china, there was a general outcry at the beginning of covid to bring it all back home, bring that manufacturing back home. about two years later, are we to believe, the lessons we have learned is that america should become even more dependent on chinese manufacturing? lifting tariffs on $300 billion worth of imports every year will provide even more incentive for u.s. manufacturers to send their production lines to the communist super state. they both have to partly because and

i want to play this bit from senator john cornyn talking specifically about one of the issues, the issuetion or the right to marry same-sex partner or separate but equal or even things like the dred scott decision, all of these involved the use of this substantive due process doctrine as a way to cover up and hide the fact that it was judges making the law and not the policy mmakers who run r office. >> that's pretty clear. republicans are preparing for an area in which those things will be re-looked at. >> look at some of the laws in place, the so-called don't say gay laws you are see pop up around the country. it's very clear that the most conservative factions of the republican party feel extremely emboldened. and intend on pushing that agenda as far as they can. >> is there anything that can bring us back from this brink, do you think? >> look, we say it all the time. i think on -- the elections had consequences. president trump will be three justices on the court. unless there are some unexpected retirements soon and democrats hold the majority in the senate, the court is locked in

listen to what senator john cornyn of texas had to say about this problem in the deaths from the drugsory the messages from the administration. the point is if you eliminate title 42 this is the last tool available to maintain on the border and if you eliminate title 42 the border patrol tells me they will lose control and the people who will benefit the most are the drug cartels who will have a freeway into the country to funnel the drugs, took 100,000 american lives last year alone. lara: 100,000 american lives taken by drugs alone last year. we know how deadly fat and all is. i think about to the counter during her screens during covid do you think maybe instead of covid deaths we put up the number of americans that are dying every day because of the drugs coming over the southern border. with that perhaps make a difference when people want to care about our southern border a little more say somebody at 1600 pennsylvania avenue? >> the biden administration does not care this is been done with intention i believe that joe biden does not love america or at least not america envisioned

that's why senator cornyn, senator durbin has been talking about immigration for many, many months. it is going absolutely nowhere. the problem is, yes, immigration is a republican base thing, but once there's these images of the border being chaotic and people being hurt or killed in the desert because they were trying to be trafficked or the cartels were bringing them, that starts to impact the independent voters, and it starts to -- so, as you mentioned, a lot of discord. >> dhs says this summer we may have twice the flow as we had last summer. >> we have job openings. no, no, this is the thing. there is real incentives besides concern about their own personal safety. >> chuck, it is not about -- yes, we should -- as opposed to to sending the haitians back, how about putting them to work this these jobs that americans don't wants right now? that's not going to happen because it's a tribal fear what's happening in this country. >> amy, i was reminded yesterday that daca recipients are in their mid-30s now. >> right. >> are we going to be debating daca recipients for -- >> these ar

john cornyn, one of the people engaged in the talks, told me that immigration is an issue on which congressfailed to fail. there is desire to come up with something. so we will see these talks continue. again, as we everything else that congress is trying to do, the clock is ticking. they have 11 legislative weeks left until they go out for august recess. after that, expectations are low for any other legislative achievements. >> you say 11 weeks. that's a lot of time. but in the world of legislation, that's not a lot of time. things move at a glacier pace. is there something they can get over the line? >> reporter: coming up with 60 votes in the senate for anything that would also pass the house is just a huge math problem. house republicans are in lockstep against probably any immigration reform measures that the biden administration would want to take. on the senate side, you may be able to pick a couple of republicans off. the politics cut both ways. you have a number of democratic senators up for re-election, particularly in border states or in heavily latino states where immigration i

my colleague, senator cornyn, talked about legitimizing consent. legitimizing consent means that the american people consent and legitimize the supreme court. if we treat the supreme court like another political branch, it will become one. it is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and right now we are fulfilling it. the united states congress and most especially my republican colleagues are fulfilling that prophecy by engaging in a partyline vote against a nominee that is superbly qualified by character and intellect, and will make history. as the first black woman to be confirmed. voting along strict party lines means it is more likely that the supreme court will vote that way, too. regardless of how the court votes go, the public will perceive the court as more political, more polarized, and less legitimate. the court has many self-inflicted wounds. the failure to adopt a code of ethics is one of them, and i have advocated that code of ethics, and ask the nominee about and she said she would talk to our colleagues. but the partisan combat we are seeing t
