you are on with jonathan turley. turley, i thank you very much for your honesty.o me, money and politics go hand-in-hand. the clintons are a fine example of that. i question is -- we do accept a seat on the judicial supreme court -- would you accept a seat on the judicial supreme court? i wish they would nominate you. thank you and i will listen for your answer. guest: [laughter] i accept your nomination. i will go directly from here to the supreme court and assume my office for that is a great honor and not one i expect i will ever see, so the issue for me and i think for you, and i thank you for your comment, is whether we can get democrats, republicans and independents to step aside in this superheated political environment and see if agree on something that i thought was very basic. we have a right to a supreme court that complies with the code of ethics. we have arrived to judges that are ethical -- we have a right to judges that are ethical. what we have seen in the supreme court is that when they became judges of their own case, something we have long which

we'll talk to jonathan turley, next. >>> professional athletes getting political. >> the shoot to kill the value of black and brown bodies has to stop. but also the retaliation has to stop. >> but it's what they didn't say, the names they didn't mention that's making headlines this morning. mornings are better with "friends." thanks for being here. ♪ >> if you travel down 48th street in midtown manhattan this morning, you're going to have to find another way to work because this street in front of our world headquarters is blocked for the 12th year in a row and we're kicking off the soldier ride shortly at 9:00 this morning. >> amazing. cool thing. >> you know, this city represents so much for all of us. i know that we have worked really hard to get here. this is my goal. but to walk down 6th avenue in the middle of new york city in rockefeller center and see that american flag flying, so cool. >> yeah, the american flag between these two fire trucks which are right behind you. magic wall this morning. it's a beautiful day. >> thank you to our firefighters. >> absolutely. meanwhile, we

you were on with professor jonathan turley. >> caller: thank you. i have a general comment, italy about the american people. and i myself being a citizen and ashamed, ashamed of the american people and the attitude they have and the lazy action when it comes to getting up and going and voting and knowing who your candidate are. you get what you get because you do nothing. and that's why the country is in the shape it is in today host the okay. you have a reaction? >> guest: i think people are getting more involved and that's a good thing. what i worry about is tha is tht the anger grows as partisanship grows, the blindness growth. i think if i was to make one change in this country if i could do it with a magic wand, it would be, growing up in chicago i remember my father saying the worst thing you can be is a chump. don't be a chump. i think the american people have become a nation of child's. that is, we buy this two party t state red state phenomenon and we do all issues that political lives. that's exactly what washington a wants. it wants us to

. >> i used to believe everything that jonathan turley just said. until i thought about it. until ruth bader ginsburg forced me to think about it this week. if the integrity of the supreme court is based on the notion that supreme court justices do not have a preference about who wins a presidential election, then the integrity is based on pure fantasy. and everybody knows that. and judicial impartiality does not require a justice to hold no personal opinions. it does not require a justice to be able to -- it requires a justice simply to be able to look at the law and make a ruling despite the justice's own personal opinion. now, no one has ever suggested that the catholics on the supreme court should recuse themselves on cases involving abortion, and none of them ever have. and catholics on the supreme court have very consistently ruled against abortion rights, in agreement with their church. and no editorial board has accused them of doing that because their religion has undermined the integrity of the supreme court, has destroyed the justices' ability to rule on the law a

. >> jonathan turley joins me now. great to see you professor. what did you make of her comments?re importantly, i think they were facially unethical. canon 5 of the judicial code says that judges cannot make statements of this kind in opposition to political candidates. now, the way these justices get around that is they claim that those rules of ethics only apply to lesser jurists. this may come as a surprise to most americans, but the nine justices claim that the rules of ethics cannot be enforced against them, that they look at those rules voluntarily and decide how they will apply to themselves. as you might imagine, the result is that they often are the judges of their own case and find themselves entirely innocent. >> this is clearly intentional. she made the remarks repeatedly to three different outlets, going on about how if he wins, it reminds her of something her husband used to say. quote, now it's time for us to move to new zealand. it's very clear her opposition to him. and trump on this issue, you tell me. he's entirely right. she was out of line. >> he is right, an

here is what constitutional expert jonathan turley says about the matter. >> they were thoughtless andnnon 5 says juns cannot make statement of this kind in opposition to political candidates. >> this has been a crazy political season. >> it's all about the fact we are taking back our country. this is todd hardy. a fitness buff, youth baseball coach-and lung cancer patient. the day i got the diagnosis, i was just shocked. the surgeon in dallas said i needed to have the top left lobe of my lung removed. i wanted to know what my other options were. and i found that at cancer treatment centers of america. at ctca, our experts examine a variety of therapies, treatments and technologies to identify a plan specifically for each patient. my doctor understood that who i am was just as important as what cancer i had. we talked about options. my doctor told me about a robotic surgery that was less invasive. we have excellent technology that allow us to perform very specialized procedures for patients who have lung disease. at ctca, it's all about what you can do. i feel fantastic now. exploring
