it is interesting to see how justice kavanaugh fills that place. there are many criminal cases make their way up the dc circuit. so we cannot determine what his approach might be. >>. >> and as it comes to criminal procedure what is the next on the horizon? . >> a handful are making their way up, automatic license plate readers used quite frequently in many jurisdictions like baltimore have a program h the planes fly over and record everything and stored indefinitely so they can find anyone who was near a crime. and i tell mice students i future - - i fear the futureut of robot overlords i am very nervous about these tech knowledge not just because it makes it easier to commit a federal offense but it affects all of our c lives that is potentially quite disturbing. >> another thing that justice kavanaugh said during his confirmation hearings was his admiration for brown versus board decision in 1854 of the segregation is unconstitutional to create a monument of legal testimony and scholars may have different views but it did honor the importance of

and it is relatively early for both gorsuch and kavanaugh. i should say, if you look over the last several decades, of the supreme court's history, one of the dominant trends is the way that many gop appointed justices have drifted left word overtime. that statement could be true of my old boss, justice o'connor. justice kennedy, in certain respects. certainly, justice stevens, justice souter. there are lots and lots from the rights perspective, disappointments on the supreme court. what makes me think that gorsuch and kavanaugh are unlikely to follow that trajectory , is that the people i just mentioned a moment ago, including o'connor and stevens and souter, none of them had experience working in an executive branch. all of the current gop appointed justices have experienced working in the executive branch in a republican administration. what that means is, these folks are sort of battle tested. and they are not going to be seduced by cocktail parties in georgetown overtime. right? they are not going to fall prey to what used to be called t

kavanaugh had an opportunity to run in the 1970s.y declined to do so because they said it doesn't violate the eighth amendment's of cruel and unusual punishment. it doesn't even qualify as punishment for purposes of the constitution because it doesn't stem from a criminal conviction. but if we are serious about taking the text, these folks are trying to live up to the commitments and we have to take them at their word and offer the arguments, it is possible, freedom of speech we may be able to make some common ground in order to have a constitutional doctrine be better than it currently is. >> a packet is given example that the happiness terms. there is a case called kim's verse indiana that is pending. it was argued a few weeks ago. it's about whether or not the eighth amendment's excessive fine club. you probably never heard of anyone not be alone. it is right between the excessive bail club and the cruel and unusual cost. whether or not it applies to the state, because the supreme court never made that decision whether it's incorp

remember, she was one of the leaders in the rush to judgment on justice kavanaugh. even releasing a deceptively edited video, why? to smear him. and speaking the video, harris as serving as attorney general in 2016 teamed up with planned parenthood to target pro-life activists david delight in, remember him? after he exposed a series of undercover videos discussing the sale of fetal body parts. and it did not stop there, that is illegal. harris then sent agents to rate his home and whatre his attorns called was an impressive abuse of government power. and it happened while she was running for the u.s. senate, on pro planned parenthood platform. and when she was champion women's rights, one of her own longtime aides, larry wallace, he was forced to resign laten' last year after a $400,000 sexual harassment settlement came to light. and shortly after, she denied any knowledge, but her hometown paper, "the sacramento bee" fired back in a blistering editorial writing that "wallace was not out on the periphery of harris' staff, he was a senior aide that she knew for 14 y

so it's questionable what kavanaugh will mean. was his clerk and respects him and may not want to jab him, but more importantly now, in the lower courts, and you know, it's a longer discussion. when people say conservative justices, the people appointed by the bush administration, really, who reached these decisions in the d.c. circuit, not that they're conservative. they're more than conservative. i mean, justice kennedy and justice o'connor are very conservative people politically, but they believe firmly in the principles of the united states, and most importantly, they believed in separation of powers. that says -- you know, i mean the big argument in the guantanamo and all the guantanamo cases to start with, the government said leave it to us. we know what we're doing. we have the responsibility for the security of the nation. let us decide who to detain and who to release, and the courts, by o'connor and kennedy and stevens, stepped in and said no, that the courts have an essential role to play as a check against executive d
