welcome to georgetown law. i'm the deputy director of the center ocenter for privacy and technology here at the law school area thanks for joining us on the association of criminal defense lawyers for today's discussion on location privacy after. i think we have a treat in store for you today with a really amazing group of speakers. just to provide a little context oon the subject i know there are folks joining us remotely as well. ten days ago the supreme court issued a decision in carbon or versus the united states. the question is whether the government have to get a warrant to access historical location information. information. that's ththe records maintainede companies, all phone companies, detailing which towers are communicating with cell phones as they move about and use their phones. and in a 5-for ruling the court held that the government must get a warrant to obtain those records. you will hear a lot of observations and analysis regarding the case from this debate. but i want to open up with a couple

make a contribution to the improvement of the public legal system by writing an article in the georgetown law journal that i identified better ways, in my judgment, to conduct investigations of high level executive branch officials. i then went to kirkland and elliss -- ellis, where i became a partner, represented institutional clients of the firm and did pro bono work for several years. in 2001, i joined the white house counsel's office under judge al gonzalez n that office i did some of the standard work issues, fice, ethics separation of powers issues. i also worked with many members of the staff of this committee and other members of congress on civil justice issues such as class action reform, medical is separation of powers issues. i also worked with liability reform, and the very important insurance legislation in 2002. i also worked on judges on the nomination of judges and had the opportunity to help recommend judges to the president of the united states for him to nominate to the federal courts. in that capacity on the dis-- district court level i worked closely with many members of

thank you to georgetown law, my alma mater, as well as the center for privacy and technology for putting this together. we are very happy to participate in this. for the second panel, it was a fascinating conversation this morning, but then comes the question of the very practical impacts of what happens now. we could talk about it, look at the history, look at the arguments that could be made, but what happens if you are a prosecutor and you are trying to disrupt the network of crime that happens around the community. what happens right now when you think about how to do this in terms of what is being used, you know, if we are talking about breaking and entering, is that different than if we are talking about a string of sexual assaults in what the government should or not should be able to do, or should it be able to do. what happens when the other person who is charged of defending people's liberty? they are trying to protect them from government overreach. how does this change our practice, and what does it mean for those in the most marginalized communities moving forward? so what w

appointee, drove a taxi, that you see him second from the left, drove a taxi to work his way through georgetown law school, he is a colleague from the third circuit court of appeals with president trump's sister, marianne trump. he was a finalist last year for this glia vacancies so president knows a lot about him and made it to some degree feel that it's his turn. we will see. on the far left, you see brett kavanaugh from the d.c. court of appeals. he's always been considered to be the strongest horse and as race, 300 opinions to his credit. however, mitch mcconnell saying that when you have a record that big in that big of a paper trail, confirmation may get dragged out as democrats control through all of those opinions. they've only got 83 days before the beginning of october in the beginning of the neck supreme court term to get him confirmed. also on the list, raymond kethledge said to be a fairly safe choice, could probably be easily confirmed, writes his opinions in a very scholarly and colorful way and then you see amy coney barrett from the seventh circuit court of appeals. she really kind

he was a first and his family to graduate from college and he put himself through georgetown law school by driving a taxi. no matter whom the president picks, with senator mccain away from washington, the democrats are facing enormous pressure to stick together to help they can pull away a republican or two as well. >> ed: i will tell you though if simple math tells with jonathan mccain is absent, one republican senator can decide any supreme court nominee. >> shannon: all of them have run the gauntlet before but they are likely to face a much more difficult road this time around. that's a different ball game when you talk about the supreme court. so far, you may remember the white house brought to justice gorsuch in on a military transport plane last time around, they were very secretive about this. but as you know, we will know shortly after 9:00. >> ed: i have a source that tells me last night they were getting indications from the president that he was leaning toward judge brett kavanaugh as you suggest and he was telling people that barrett could basically be in the bullpen if ther

things from guns to religious liberty and he is a guy who drove a taxi to help put himself through georgetown law. no matter who the president picks, it's going to be a tough confirmation battle that republicans are down one senator, mccain is not actively here in d.c. democrats are counting each about hoping to put their coalition together, maybe even pick up a republican or two. >> i will tell you, simple math tells you that if john mccain is absent, it's a 50-49 senate. one republican senator can decide the fate of any supreme court nominee. >> all of them have been to this gauntlet of getting through senate confirmation before but it's going to be a much different battle of their name as the one that is called tonight and his whole thing kicks off. so far, the name has not leaked, the president has locked on his decision. you may remember last time that nominee neil gorsuch was brought here on a military transport plane, all kinds of cloak and dagger moves and we didn't know for sure until he walked out there and the president called him out. so we stand by. >> harris: real quickly and someti
