want an extension of time to file their petition and justice ginsburg's manual and now mine basically tells incoming clerks, this is what the justices want. is the request to extend time, timely? has the person exercised due diligence? what is the nature of their excuse for seeking the extension and ultimately what is the value of petitions being sought or that might be sought? those sorts of things i would not have known intuitively or otherwise. it would have taken me time to develop those for myself. having her manual was invaluable but unlike my other courts, nobody offered to tell me how they set up chambers. and i guess i could've come and found out, but at that point i had been a judge for 17 years and so i had my way of doing things. so i figured that out. there are a lot of things in the court that are not written down, that are just what happens and i often felt that i was walking into the middle of a conversation among the other justices. a lot of them had been together for decades and it would happen or somebody would say something, only it myself and say, i wasn't in the

. >> we are not asking or the remedy we would propose, justice ginsburg, would not affect marital couples, and the government has pointed -- >> but wouldn't have an anomaly been that parents who are not married are preferred to parents who are married? >> it does appear at first that there is an anomaly there, but i would submit that that anomaly is built into the statute as we see today. if you take the case of the unmarried mother, eve she marries the father the day before the child is born, a 10 year requirement applies. if she breaks the father the day after the child is born, the one year of lies. >> that's true but isn't it something else when we devised the remedy that deepens and extends an equal protection violation? have we ever done that? >> well, i don't think the court would be extending the equal protection violation. >> whatever it is, it wouldn't be gender discrimination. >> it could possibly and legitimacy just commission i think -- >> it would be a legitimacy discrimination. what are the subject to, the past cases have involved discrimination against the children of unwe

if you are sandra day o'connor or written bader ginsburg, their persona few women in your class. when you got out, notwithstanding, they had been absolutely star students. law firms did not want to hire them and judges did not want to hire them as clerks. they really -- the doors were shut in their faces. from all the standard employers and they really had to make their own way. they created these brilliant careers, but they did it. it was so -- they made it up on the fly as to how they were going to get around the fact that all the standard employers said, not interested. and that was not true by the time sonia sotomayor and i came around. all the judges wanted you to be there clerk and i never faced that kind of discrimination. i didn't because of the incredible work and efforts that people like justice ginsburg and justice o'connor made. judge williams: that applied to me too. i am not in their group. [laughter] justice kagan: i did not mean to. judge williams: i know that. [laughter] judge williams: you mentioned opportunities and one of the things because a lot of these stud

if ginsburg, kennedy, or breyer retires, it will be a whole new game. it will be much like the early years of the rehnquist court, when they got a fifth vote and they didn't waste any time. they started to accept big ticket cases. we have gone through this period where judge merrick garland, for now all purposes, done as a nominee. i said months ago when someone asked me about garland, i said it's a very in washington when everyone is saying nice things about you. you only see that at eulogies and when your nomination is dead. soledad: candidate trump talked about mass deportation. jonathan: i think he's going to increase deportations. he has the power to do it. soledad: but deportation -- he framed it as deportation teams that go in. i mean, a little different than we think of deportation today. a muslim registry, which some have likened to internment camps. jonathan: on immigration, he can do exactly what he said. this is a bill for democrats. they embraced the unilateral presidential actions of the obama administration. i was one of the critics at th

justice ginsburg, i am so glad you are here. this is the 100th anniversary of the nomination and confirmation of louis brandeis as an associate justice of the united states supreme court. despite all of the slurs thrown at him during a four-month confirmation battle, especially the charge that he lacked judicial temperament, today he is considered on every poll as one of the three most influential justices ever to serve in our nation's high court. before examining that influence, which is still with us today, let me take a brief look at his career before he went on the bench. many years ago when i first started working on louis brandeis, i went to harvard to visit one of his former clerks. paul fry's office was piled from floor to ceiling with books, papers, exam booklets and as i discovered after his death, unanswered letters and unsigned messages. the professor cleared a chair for me by dumping a pile of papers from that chair onto another chair. and for the next hour, we talked brandeis, a topic he relished. and some insights

. >> absolutely, justice ginsburg. it identifies two places where cities can sue. one is a havens like situation in which a city like the ngo in havens is combatting secrete instances of discrimination by a defendant and outlaying things so testers or something. took the allegations in this complaint and made them out to be the banks were engaged in some sort of discriminatory loans and the city had to the basically expend funds to test that out, to enforce housing statutes, that looks very much like the one to run relationships both for zone of interest and proximate cause. >> the test theers were not city employees. in havens it was their job to do this. so why are you attributing the testers work to the city directly? >> because, justice sotomayor, it is appendix page 2 in havens, the can complaint asks for the city's expenditures to combat -- it identifies specific things, including testers and other -- >> why is this different than the other allegations in havens that had to do with lost revenues, with lost tax base, which the court cited as well. here there a

as we do, i want to bring ben ginsburg back in. ben, talk about if you would there's been a lot of discussion about director comey. and the role that he has now played in this election cycle. the fact he now has this sort of terrorny relationship with donald trump and secretary clinton. he was even quoted as saying might be awkward when there is a new president no matter who wins. how does this impact his roll with the potential next president whether it's trump or clinton. >> well, by him doing what he did both opening the investigation because he thought it was important to do that and to tell people about it, and him having resolved it within 48 hours of the election, but before the election he brought the fbi front and center into this campaign in a way that it never has been before and i suspect they are not particularly happy about being put in the role that director comey thought it should be. let me also make the point we can rest assured behind the doors of the trump campaign right now, there's some very frenzied activity

supreme court justice "ruth bader ginsburg". the 83-year old -- joined the 'opening night cast' -- at the "washington national opera" -- "duchess of krakenthorp". cheers and applause 'rang out' -- even 'before' ginsburg -- said a word. while the justice did 'not' sing.... she 'did' have a 'speaking role'. the mannequin challenge to beat might be this one from texas a&m gymnastics team. the team's instagram account shared a video of its athletes in various states of balance as the camera pans. some are upside down, hanging from poles and beams by their toes and hands. and finally... something you creating a 'dramatic sight' -- when it let's out a 'huge yawn'! it 'lifts its head' -- all the way back -- and opens its mouth 'extremely wide'... to show off the 'size difference' -- between the two parts of its beak. a small storm that brought some beneficial rainfall to central north carolina has moved to the coast near northward more dry air will move in from the west. this will help bring a clearing sky. since the ground is going to

ginsburg got laughter and applause. she made her grand opera debut at the kennedy center. >> the nonsinging role and ginsburg read her lines, in english, apparently off crib sheets hidden in the props. she still stole is the show. she's an opera fan. someone else will take over the role now for the rest of the washington national opera. >> nice surprise for the people in the stands. after all, she still has her day job. making the rounds on twitter. buzz aldrin took it in orbit 50 years ago yesterday. that's the earth behind him. >> yeah, planet earth. he was whizzing around every 90 minutes. aldrin best known as the second man to walk on the moon durlg apollo 11. these photos taken three years earlier. before selfie was considered, he was taking them. buzz aldrin. >>> if you don't get a chance heading out the door this morning, look up at the sky tonight. the supermoon is back. it's the biggest and brightest in almost 70 years. >> a full moon coming just as the moon makes its closest approach to the earth. about 17,000

you're right, justice ginsburg. that's our broadest argument. and the argument work likes this. the complaint has invoked the idea that they seek any appropriate relief. and here any appropriate relief means nation is available that could be granted by a federal court. if you do -- >> well, that's boilerplate that may or may not be significant. but do you concede, and i couldn't quite tell from your brief, that they will be able to get money damages for everything they're seeking under the ada in section 504 under the idea? >> we don't concede everything, but we do think that they get a part. brief 44 to page 50 here the only thing the complaint seeks is damages. to understand the damages, you have to look to the complaint. the complaint isolates as the red brief goes through in quoting chapter and verse of the complaint. >> right. >> things like compensatory education, things like home school. >> they're asking for other things, right? i know basically -- so are you saying they'll get some of the damages they're seeking, but not all of them? >> correct. >> well, then under jone

ginsburg is 83. briar is 78. both of them are liberal. so the question is could trump actually seat three justice in editor expert craig patrick back with us. good morning to you, craig. amazing really when you thing about this. first let's talk about replacing justice scalia. there there was lot of talk judge merritt garland this will be a republican appointee. absolutely not mer rid garland we don't know who it will be appear donald trump put out list of 11 specific names. you had six in the federal circuit. and 5 across the state supreme courts then expanded that to 21 names. common is a strong conservative bnt. i think donald trump released that list of names to show an example of who he would pick help him galvanize support on far right and long conservative base. but it doesn't mean he will specific actually pick of those those names should used a guide. we know donald trump can be a bit unpredictable. whatever the case, you're absolutely right. from 4-4 split supreme court will clearly take be t yes democrats have an ability to fil

"saturday night live" poked fun at the notion ginsburg will fight to stay on the high court as long as president. >> everyone expected you to retire soon, you're 83. >> you're damn right i was going to retire. clinton was going to win. i was going straight to the dominican republic. even though last time i was there, they thought i was a zika mosquito. not now. now i got to stay alive and healthy, dammit, give me my thing. excuse me, got to take my vitamin. >> yeah. >> and justice ginsburg who was notoriously openly critical of trump during the campaign treaded carefully during a public appearance today saying trump's election will mean a vacancy will be filled on the court after republicans blocked the nomination hearings for merrick garland for several months, it's unclear, erin, when trump will aim to fulfill the vacancy. he's indicated it's a priority. back to you. >> manu is on capitol hill "outfront." you've been talking to the conserve difs in the house, one of them told you trump is not a conservative. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. that's raul labrador, one of the top conser

ruth bader ginsburg is 83 years old. stephen breyer is 78.is it that in a four-year term he may appoint more than one? >> i think there's a likelihood. i think there will be a lot of people praying that justice ginsburg stays healthy as we get through the three, four years. it's very likely he could end up with four appointments. you may have some justices on the liberal side delaying retirement plans to see how things go through the first term and to see if there's a second term. >> let me turn to you, errol. through this list, these baseball cards we call them of the potential next justices, we see that they're very conservative justices that have signed off. i hear something interesting who is the former deputy assistant attorney general under the george w bush administration first term who talked about who should be nominated first. i want you to listen to what he said. >> if trump really wanted to shore up his support amongst conservative constitutionalists, if i were him i would pick a supreme court nominee now and if i were him, i woul

and those justices would include, potentially, a replacement for kennedy, ginsburg, breyer.v. wade. so he could have a transformative effect on the court in all of these cases for generation, but as jeff correctly said, he does have to pick up another vote. but it just turns out that the three oldest justices are the core of support for things like roe v. wade. and there's also a myriad of other decisions that are held in a 5-4 balance. all of those could fall like dominos if he was to replace one of those three justices. >> and this is why there is a lot of liberal resentment of justice ginsburg, justice breyer, as much as they are admired figures on the left, that why didn't they leave at an already advanced age when president obama was in office, and certainly, especially, when president obama had a democratic majority in the senate. >> although, how good is the track record of presidents and those who were selecting justices at predicting how the justice is going to rule? >> it's excellent. one of the myths is the surprise president. you know, and that dates largely from
