>> i believe gorsuch was recused.hey came from the 10th circuit and he was not on the panel but he must've voted on whether to take it on in the 10th circuit. >> it is one of those issues that is like an old sweater with a loose thread. they are a little nervous on pulling on that loose thread, and how much do we give georgia back to the cherokee? there is a whole lot of ramifications for this. i have no idea which way they will go on it. >> other questions? >> i can say that waste on the couple of cases that came up in the last term, if justice gorsuch were participating in the case, he is pretty friendly to native american rights claims. >> and that sex stereotyping case? >> well, i think kavanaugh is the swing vote here. and i don't know -- i mean, what we have seen in the administrative state and devotion of text and separation of powers would suggest he said, look, congress passed the statute. we knew it they meant when they wrote it. that is why there have been efforts to add sexual orientation to statutory lang

it was always going the to be gorsuch followed by kavanaugh. so gorsuch, i told the story earlier. the day gorsuch's hearing is in the hart building, the first day, some of you may remember his mother was the head of the epa who got involved in a scandal, forced out of a job, her life disintegrated after that. and gorsuch was at the same school as kavanaugh. and i'm sure for a kid in high school, this was a really disorienting thing. in the book i even talk about he went to his mother and said how can you quit, you know? you're being forced out. why would you quit? you told me not to be a quitter. so the day the hearings started, in the hearing room i was in the back with the white house guys who were shepherding him through, and i said, hey, i've got a theory about gorsuch. he's still really mad about what happened to his mother, and he wants to destroy washington, and they said that's our theory too. [laughter] true story. woody. >> [inaudible] supreme court justice has been impeached, is there a likely possibility ever that impeachment of a supreme court justice could happen aft

gorsuch and cavanaugh are against reproductive freedom. he has emboldened legislators across the country to overturn roe v. wade because he doesn't want women to get access to health care they need. as president i will codify roe v. wade into law so it is the law of the land, i will only appoint justices that believe roe v. wade is the law of the land, i will repeat the hyde amendment, which makes it impossible for low income women to get access, and i will make sure that no matter what state you live in, you can have access to reproductive services, hopefully through medicare for all, where anyone can buy in at a price they can afford, it would be a percentage of income matched by your employer. it will create competition overnight with for-profit insurance. and for-profit insurance is trying to have shareholder value. they have to have quarterly profits, they pay ceos millions of dollars. what you think that money goes? not for your health care. they deny you a day in the hospital because they want to make more money. when they say you c

cavanaugh and gorsuch. they are phenomenal people.hey are big believers in the second amendment, which wayne is also an im. -- i am. that is no president feels more strongly about the second amendment and i do. however we need meaningful background checks so that sick people don't get guns. end wayne and the nra will either be there or maybe we will be a little bit more neutral. that would be ok too. up very toughken stance on everything. i understand it. it's a slippery slope. they think you approve one thing and that leads to a lot of bad things. i don't agree with that. i think we can do meaningful -- very meaningful background checks. i want to see it happen. i have a lot of support. i also have the support of other people from the other side. i think the democrats and republicans have a chance to really come together. why wasn't there a better system in place to deal with the migrant children? pres. trump: you can't let anybody know, otherwise nobody will be there. a big factor is to let people outside of the country that were to

we have justice gorsuch. they feel very strongly about the second amendment. the nra made a great decision in supporting me. nobody else would have won. aside from everything else. i have a very good relationship. i have a great relationship with the nra. i have a lot of respect for the people at the nra. i have already spoken to them on numerous occasions. numerous occasions. frankly, we need intelligent background checks. this is not a question of nra, republican, or democrat. i will tell you, i spoke to mitch mcconnell yesterday. he is totally on board. he said, i have been waiting for your call. he is totally on board. i spoke to senators, friends of mine, pretty hardline senators. when i say that, i say that in a positive way. hardline for the second amendment. they understand that we don't want insane people, mentally ill people, bad people, dangerous people, we don't want guns in the hands of the wrong people. i think the republicans are going to be great and lead the charge, along with the democrats. i spoke yesterday to nancy pelosi. we had a great ta

she's gone out of the way to praise her new colleagues, justice kavanaugh and justice gorsuch. i'm not going to engage in morbid speculation of what's going to happen. as far as tearing the country apart, i think we knew whoer to the country apart in the last confirmation battle. do we want to go through that again as a count with the the presidential election coming up? i certainly hope no. i wish her the best. and she's been extraordinary in this effort to keep the court itself as an institution away from partisan politics. i'm sure you heard about an event in washington last month hosted by one of her former clerks. and he made the statement that it's a shame that these days supreme court justices are no longer primarily chosen because of their legal ability or personal decency and she immediately shot back and said justices gore savin -- gorsuch and kavanaugh are very decent people. i wish them the best. >> shannon: you hear them talk about each other in a collegiate way. they don't see the ideological splits. they couldn't have been more different on their legal philosophi

this is in response to neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh, as well as the gutting of the unions and some of those decisions. we've got a big fight on our hands. >> kat: it drives me nuts when i hear anybody talk about the supreme court and politics in the same sentence. i really get triggered. i do! [laughter] i can admit it, i am a snowflak snowflake. >> lisa: i didn't know you are a democrat! [laughs] >> kat: it's not supposed to be political for either side. it's supposed to be loyal to one thing and one thing only, and that's the constitution. i'm not just upset about this because i'm someone who supports the second amendment, i'm upset about this because i'm someone who supports what this country was founded on and the role the court was supposed to play. you should be talking about politics and making the sort of threats, threatening to restructure it, when you are saying blatantly that you are doing so for political reasons. >> elizabeth: 's or change the courts if you don't get your way. pack the court, restructure. do something to the federal reserve if you don't get your way. y

kavanaugh and gorsuch. they are phenomenal people. they believe in the second amendment also, which i am. there has been no president that feels more strongly about the second amount than i do. however, we need meaningful background checks so sick people don't get guns. >> [inaudible question]. >> i think in the end -- i think in the end wayne and the nra will either be there or maybe will be a little bit more neutral. and that will be okay too. look, the nra over the years has taken a tough stance on everything. and i understand it. it's a slippery slope. you think you approve one thing and that leads to a lot of bad things. i don't agree. i think we can do meaningful -- very meaningful background checks. i want to see it happen. so i've got a lot of support. and i have the support of other people on the other side. i think the democrats and the republicans have a chance to really come together. >> [inaudible question]. >> the reason is you have to go in. you can't let anybody now. tpheuz when you get there, nobody will be there. but

we now have two supreme court judges that are phenomenal, kavanaugh and gorsuch.elievers in the second amendment as i am. there's no president that feels more strongly about the aesecon amendment than i do. however, we need meaningful background checks so sick people don't get guns. i think in the end wayne and the nra will either be there or maybe will be a little bit more neutral. and that would be okay, too. look, the nra has over the years taken a very, very tough stance on everything and i understand it. it's a slippery slope. they think you prove one thing and that leads to a lot of bad things. i don't agree with that. i think we can do very meaningful background checks. i want to see it happen. so i've got a lot of support. and i also have the support of other people on the other side. and i think the democrats and republicans have a chance to really come together. [ inaudible question ] >> the reason is because you have to go in and you can't let anybody know. otherwise, when you get there, nobody will be there. but a big factor is to let people outside of

court justices, and as you know, we have named two supreme court justices, justice kavanagh, justice gorsuchi want to congratulate mitch mcconnell, and you have him come and he is a champion, and he fights hard. he really is something special, and he loves your state. i will be campaigning for mitch, and i will be campaigning for matt, and we are going to get them both back in. i just have to say, because mitch has been somebody very special, and matt knows that as well. this year, we commemorated the 75th anniversary of d-day, june 6, 1944, when thousands of american patriots stormed the beaches of normandy and went through the fires of hell to ensure the survival of liberty. this year also marks the 75th anniversary of the organization that took care of those victorious veterans when they returned and every generation of veterans since. incredible job. whoy we celebrate amvets, are 75 years of love and loyalty and lifelong service to our military personnel, to our veterans, and to their families. congratulations. thank you very much.

they still believe neil gorsuch is a stolen seat.re is anger over brett kavanaugh being confirmed, all of which he was accused of sexual assault. this is going to be a major touchstone for democrats as well in the election. usually conservatives have the advantage on this issue. there is a muscle memory that goes back decades about the importance of the supreme court. really dates back to roe versus wade. but now democrats are paying attention in a way that we haven't seen in a long time. >> yeah, for sure. both sides talking about it a lot. there is this quinnipiac poll that came out in the spring which asked if they should be reduced. 51% said yes. just 32% of republicans. but democrats say yes by a big margin, 69%. >> look, restructuring, who know it's anything like that could happen. but, sahil, what could that look like? >> it's highly unlikely to happen. i think this is just a signal that democratic trust in the court is plummeting and there are activists who are pushing this sort of thing as a signal to voters, basically sayin

. >> neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh now sit on the court. the president also placed a number of federal judges on the bench, he also said he would move the us embassy in israel. >> we will move the american embassy to the eternal capital of the jewish people, jerusalem. and we will send a clear signal that there is no daylight between america and our most reliable ally, the state of israel. >> he did just that last year. then there's withdrawing from the iran nuclear deal, the transpacific partnership and paris climate agreement, all promised, all follow through on yet not all of his campaign pledges have come to fruition like this, refrain. >> we will build that great wall and mexico will pay for that great wall. >> so far there is a now. mexico hasn't paid a dime for any part of the wallet remember this promise? >> my contract with the american voter outlines a plan to repeal and replace obamacare. and i'm asking for your vote so we can save healthcare for every family in your state and in this country. >> in 2017 the senate failed to repe

5:4 but over the past year there have been a number of cases including donald trump's pick, neil gorsuchnd brett kavanaugh sided with liberals and democrats are concerned that if the supreme court takes of this case involving new york city gun laws it could prevent other cities from passing similar gun-control legislation so they want the court to just leave it alone. shannon: now the democrats think they could lose a key gun rights case, is it fair for them to issue a threat for the justices? let's discuss with richard fowler, bob goodlatte. this is from democratic senators who say the supreme court is not well and people know it. perhaps the court can heal itself before the public demands it be restricted to reduce the influence of politics particularly on the urgent issue of gun control. the nation desperately needs it to heal. what does that say to you? >> several things. is brazen. secondly it is banana republic politics and they want the court to be healed of politics they should stop filing amicus briefs because that is clearly politically motivated and designed to threaten the co

he nominates gorsuch. he nominates kavanaugh. goal with these 30 legislatures around the country is to overturn roe. these are legislatures emboldened by president trump and his misogynistic language and agenda. >> let's talk quickly about the economy. we're looking at the dow. it's off 450 points right now. there are major recession concerns this morning, senator, as you well know. you said something a few weeks ago that also got my attention. you were talking about the economy and your fellow democrats and you said it's important to stand up, quote, even to fellow democrats on the economy. who are you talking about specifically? and how are you going to stand up to them? are you saying some of these plans are not affordable, and are they being disingenuous saying america can afford them? >> no, i just spent time in ohio, pennsylvania, and michigan talking to voters who voted for tru tru trump. one of the things trump ran on was no bad trade deals. bad trade deals have crippled our economy. i wanted to talk about the differences

ginsburg sends millions of americans who are concerned about the direction of the court, appointment of gorsuchd kavanaugh into a frenzy or some medical issues of their own. having said that, i think, i want to emphasize this has been treated definitively. that's what the statement says. correct? >> right. >> for ruth bader ginsburg, who reached a new level of attention based on the documentary and video of her working out every day. certainly more than many of us. who does an active schedule for her look like? >> let's cut to the chase. what you are really asking is will she step down? i will say no. she consistently said as long as she is healthy enough to do the work, she will stay on the supreme court. there is nothing in the statement that indicates that will change her plans at all. it says she has responded well. no further treatment is needed. it just looks like at this point from what we know, yet another case, where ruth bader ginsburg, because she is so careful with her health and is so often gets check ups that they are dealt with in an early way, she will continue to stay on the co

justice thomas, we saw it with judge fork, we saw an attempt to do it with judge aleto, even justice gorsuch had a lot of smears against them. as we're thinking of the vacancy process, it's not just about the supreme court, it also this past week has gone down to the district court. we saw rachael maddow trying to smear steve minashee for things he had written. >> laura: we saw that. if people don't know, we have 11 courts of appeals across the country. but people don't realize those fights are -- they're important. they're not the supreme court, they're important. they're smearing people. we have to say schumer has said, gail, don't bring -- even think about bringing all supreme court nominee in an election year. >> the republican colleagues in the senate should follow the rule they set in 2016. not to consider a supreme court justice in an election year. >> mcconnell said basically watch us. what do you think would happen? >> it prompts responsibility to nominate for any judicial way -- vacancies while he's president. it's the congress, the senate's job whether or not to take it up and vot

mentioned that president trump has already had two appointees, but as you know, those two appointees neil gorsuchugh succeeded conservative jurists. if ruth bader ginsburg felt the need to step down and donald trump got a third appointment it would be far more significant because this individual would be succeeding someone very much entrenched on the left, and in fact, she is -- she is sort of the left word poll with justice sonia sotomayor on this bench and it would tip dramatically to the right and change the law in america. >> we know justice ginsburg took in a broadway show on thursday evening. she has a speaking engagement on monday and it doesn't sound like she plans on slowing down, does it? >> it doesn't, and each time she has survived cancer she's come back with i renewed sense of mission. she believes very much in being visible and as we heard on friday, the cancer has been treated and apparently eliminated and her feeling is get out there, live each day to the fullest. she hasn't canceled any of her upcoming commitments and fully expects to be back on the bench on the traditional first

judges will apply the laws written, including -- we appointed two great supreme court justices, neil gorsuch and brett kavanaug brett kavanaugh. and to help patients with life-threatening illnesses, we also passed something i'm so proud of. 44 years, they couldn't get it passed. right to ps. try. you can use our newest, our best medicine. incredible what's happening. i'm so proud ofib that. this from forever, five decades, we passed for our great veterans. va choice and va accountability. and one of our great friends was a veteran who's been with me in new hampshire. where is our guy. where is he? he's been with me from the beginning. he liked trump. i came in, he said, sir, i have cancer and, sir, i went -- they were very, very late, they have problems, i'm not blaming them. but they gave me the right to go out and get a great cancer surgeon. he had his operation. you look much better than you did three years ago. much better. va choice, right? va choice. great story, thank you very much. and thank you for your loyalty. he's been to every rally i ever gave in new hampshire right from the be

it's why he chose gorsuch. it's why he chose kavanaugh.dent, i will only nominate judges and justices that see roe as the law of the land it's been. it's provided a constitutional right for 40 years to a right to privacy. and one of the reasons i want to make that september debate stage, chris, is because candidates are raising this issue. they're not being asked about it. it's why i went to the front lines in missouri. it's why i went to the front lines in georgia. so i hope your viewers will go to kirstengillibrand.com and help my campaign. send a dollar so i can make the september debate stage because these are the issues we have to be addressing because president trump is literally starting a war with america's women. if it's a war he wants, it's a war he's going to have, and, frankly, it's a war he's going to lose. >> all right. senator kirsten gillibrand, thank you so much for sharing your time. >> thanks, chris. >>> coming up, the 1619 project published in "the new york times" is changing the conversation on the legacy of slavery in

brett kavanaugh a neil gorsuch to a lesser extent our lightning rod -- i'm fully aware, and we are talkingo hang on. >> kennedy: can have one more thing? i want to start with kavanaugh. i don't think we should end there, we should look at larry craig. i think there's unanswered questions into the former congressman. i don't buy his resignation. i think something else was going on there. in fact, i don't think we should stop there. we should look into some of the comments on strom thurmond. maybe finally get some answers -- this is completely necessary, because democrats don't need ideas. they don't need an agenda. they don't need anything on the docket. they just need stunts and they will take the house, the senate, and the presidency with that mentality. >> lisa: he went through six background checks, including a supplemental. they turned over more documents than the last five supreme court nominees combined. i think he has been litigated in the public eye as well as congress, probably more than any other nominee. so i think that's done. >> melissa: how does this politically benefit them?

. >> bloomberg put it pretty succinctly when they wrote, one expert told us short of justices gorsuch and kavanaugh's membership in the communist party, there's hard to think of any development that could undercut trump more than a recession, a.b. >> that's right, it's the most important issue usually but trump is very unpopular, between people who approve of his record on the economy and approve of his job is something like 30 percentage points in some polling. there are people who think he's done a great job on the economy and will not vote for him against. without this to buffer him, he's looking at defeat. people who have not faced recession, presidents who go into re-election with with under 50% approval like jimmy carter and george herbert walker bush, they have lost. he has to turn this around. it's key to the leaks of people around him he's run out of weapons in his arsenal. he's run this so roughshod he's given himself no opportunity to buffer a downturn and that's why he's panicked. >> yes, how much should he worry about the political consequences of this, rick? because if y

kavanaugh and gorsuch is going to do a great job. we're about to cross 150. so this will be a legacy long after we are gone. these are young, energetic women who are going to change the federal judiciary. if you believe in cutting taxes, we have. if you believe in a strong military, yeth yesterday we voted on a budget that was by no means perfect -- anybody got a loved one in the military? anybody got a friend in the military? they've got more money to do their job since ronald reagan. and they've got a commander-in-chief who's got heir back. we've got a lot to be grateful for. from my point, thank you for helping me. i know i can be a handful at times. for you and them. so what you saw this week was frustration. i tried to work across the aisle when it makes sense. i'm trying to get things done that need to be done. but i will not have my good nature abused. i'm from south carolina. smiling faces, beautiful faces. but don't take us for granted. and don't play us. so ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to the republican party, we have come a long way. and our
