john paul stevens was northwestern and rehnquist was stanford.his kind of professionalization or goldplated credentialing in the legal profession, and this is the pinnacle of the legal profession, is a fairly recent development. in earlier decades, you did not necessarily travel far, especially to law school, if you wanted to practice in chicago, you went to law school in chicago. now the law is becoming nationalized and elites in all professions becoming nationalized, there is the skew. having gone to the university of chicago law school myself, i think it's a breath of a to have some of midwestern experience. -- a breath of fresh air to have some of midwestern experience. susan: the hearings of course will be televised live, streamed live on the internet, followed by social media, blog about and covered in every way. when was the first public confirmation hearing in our history? they were not always. ilya: for most of our history, we did not have them. the first was 1916. we don't have c-span footage, unfortunately, but i would contend it is th

john paul stevens is going to end women's rights. vid suter was going to send vulnerable people into the dark ages. john roberts was going to declare war on health insurance. and now our democratic colleagues want americans to believe that judge barrett is a one woman crusade, is on a one-woman crusade to hurt americans with pre-existing conditions. one senator has literally claimed the nominee would quote, listen to this, create a humanitarian catastrophe. same old scare tactics. totally predictable and totally dishonest. these baseless attacks over health care are supposedly founded on a technical argument in a four-year-old scholarly article. then professor barrett analyzed the supreme court's ruling on one piece, one piece of obamacare. the unfair, unpopular individual mandate penalty, which we have sense sorried out. the constitutional arguments over with whether that terrible idea was a penalty or a tax are now moot. because whatever you want to call it, republicans in keeping zeroed it out three years ago. working americans are
