in this regard i completely associate myself with by remarks from senator kohl. i said before that i do not understand why the only person who cannot express an opinion in it virtually anything that the supreme court has done in recent years is the person who the person dinner can public needs to most you. it makes no sense in a. they can hear future cases, not withstanding the fact that we know their views on the legal issue because they wrote or joined an opinion a previous case that raise a similar issue. but nominees with a court can't refuse to tell what they think about that previous case under the theory that doing so would compromise their independence or the ability to keep an open mind in a future case. i remained unconvinced that the dodger that all nominees now use i can answer that question because the issue might come before me on the court is justified. these hearings have become little more than theater where senators try to ask leverage questions and nominees try to come up with clever ways to respond without answering. this problem survey did no

the next senator is senator kohl. >> thinking. let me extend my welcome to you and your family. you are to be congratulated on your nomination. your nomination is a reflection of who we are as a country, and it represents an american success story that we all can be proud of. your academic and professional accomplishments as prosecutor, a trial judge and appellate judge are exemplary. as a judge you have bought a richness of experience to the bench and judiciary which has been an inspiration for so many. today we begin a process in which the senate engages in this constitutional role to advise and consent on your nomination. this week's hearing is the only opportunity we, the american people will have to learn about church judicial fall -- philosophy and your motivation before you put on the black robe and are heard from only in your opinions. the president has asked us to trust you with an immense amount of power. power which by design is free from political constraints to, unchecked by the people and unaccountable to congress except in the most extreme circumstances. our democ

senator kohl? >> thank you very much, senator leahy.judge sotomayor, you have told us that you will follow the law and follow precedent and you have made a very big point of this and that's all well and good. but some of the court's most important landmark hearings, landmark rules, overruled long-standing precedent like brown versus board of education, which ended legal segregation. as an appellate judge, as we know, you're required to always follow precedent but as a supreme court justice, you will have the freedom to depart from precedent. so tell us how you will decide when it is appropriate to alter, amend or even overrule precedent. >> the doctrine of stare decisis is a doctrine that looks to the value in the stability, consistency, predictability, of precedent. and it starts from the principles that precedents are important values to the society because it helps those goals. it also guides judges in recognizing that those who have come before them, the judges who have looked at these issues, had applied careful thought to the ques

>> guest: our dear friend, allen kohl, his mail that. he says we have to be careful for what we ask and he is absolutely true, and bright because of what impact national public radio potentially and all other media potentially. let's face it, they have control over most of the mainstream media. their thoughts permeate most mainstream media so i think they are on slippery, slippery slope and then the eyes. >> host: you mentioned president obama and he has got a bit of that track record in talking about these issues and certainly he is a smart politician to the extent he will put people in place will do the heavy lifting in the dirty work for him so he can look like a good cop as opposed to say john podesta or the head of the fcc who will be the bad cop in these situations. first of all is there a public statement on the record by president obama on the fairness doctrine? >> guest: yes there is. he says he does not favor the fairness doctrine. however, he does favor diversity of media ownership and diversity of viewpoints on our airwaves,
