. >> michael boggs attacked from the left. >> when he was a state lawmaker in georgia, he was prettyonservative on gay rights and the confederate flag. part of the deal that he made with some republican senators, it has progressives up in arms for a long time who have been frustrated with the president when has to do with judicial picks. a situation where you no longer have to deal with the filibuster. a conservative judge this week, chairman of the judiciary committee, saying he has not heard from the white house. and harry reid saying he is not sure if he will bring it to the floor for the vote. >> let me ask about general shinseki. >> the allegations look pretty bad. he testified this week saying he is mad as hell. the white house chief said that there is no one angrier than the president. there are parallels here to obamacare and raises competency issues with the government there. and the administration, the white house, for the time being standing by the cabinet secretary. the allegations that veterans died while they were waiting for treatment and also allegations they were coo

does that in my way change your mind about michael boggs? >> no.osition he had all along. i don't think he's changed. i think his voice may have toned down, but the meaning of his words and his position against same-sex marriage is the same. his position cannot change on his record on a flag and his record on civil rights. he doesn't deserve to have a life-long position on the federal bench. and i'm sorry the president had appointed him. i understand his need to compromise, but i think it was a mistake and i hope -- i'm glad john made it clear of where his position was. because he was a little fuzzy from perspective of some of his colleagues. but now he's clear, all is well that ends well. and i'm grateful for his statement. >> indeed after senator diane feinstein indicated she believed congressman lewis was okay with the nomination, that he'd come to support it, his fellow member of congress tweeted in response to that story saying if lewis approved of that deal, he betrayed african-americans, women, and gays. it was a harsh response. do you think

would you vote against michael boggs? >> well, not at this stage. i want to meet with him, i want to talk with him. i want him to go through the committee hearings first. i did do that. i think the questions are very apparent. i know he has some very strong support, even in the african-american community in the state of georgia. i have spoken to john lewis about him in the house and i have great respect for john lewis who felt that this was a good ticket. i've got to do my own due diligence and when i'm ready, i'll vote. >> i want to move you on, lots of conversation this week about hillary clinton and her health, brought up which karl rove, top republican strategist certainly to former president bush. he talked about her, her accident when she had a blood clot and was hospitalized. even president clinton said it took six months to get over this. when you look at that argument, when you look at the benghazi argument, when you look at a number of things coming up along the way, what does it tell you about the nature of the battle coming up in 2016, s

the street court michael boggs who is currently a judge at the georgia appeals court. he has been criticized for his work while serving in the georgia legislature, including a vote to reinstate the confederate flag. this part of the hearing is two hours. >> please raise your right hand. do you are from the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you god? please be seated. i invite you toto provide an opening statement. blumenthal,, chair ranking member grassley, senator durbin, senator franken. thank you all for being here and calling this hearing and hearing from us today. i would also like to thank president obama for this nomination and for the faith he has put in may. now i would like to recognize several people who are here with me, both family and friends. my parents are seated right behind me. ordained elders and the united methodist church. also with me, one of my college roommates from brown university, tiffany, and her mother whom i lovingly refer to as my fairy godmother. two of my best friends and stu

one of whom is michael boggs, conservative democrat who is opposed by pretty much every single liberalest group, for good reasons. he voted to create choose life license plates and tighten restrictions on minors seeking abortion. and to keep the confederate insignia on the georgia state flag. the other is david barren, he's being opposed by democratic senators, code pink, the aclu and senator rand paul. they're making a simple request. when barren worked in the justice department's office of legal counsel, he co-authored a legal memo that provided the basis for the u.s. government to target and kill u.s. citizen al awaki. they want that memo and others that he authored released. whether or not you agree with the memo on constitutional grounds, i can think of no reason the logic contained therein should be kept secret. senator rand paul in today's "new york times" said, legal arguments that affect the rights of every american should not have the privilege of secrecy. that may be true or not, but we don't know without seeing the memo. the request for transparency is absolutely right, and

have had bargaining if you will with the senators who could support a conservative democrat like michael boggs so you have johnny issacson and saxby chambliss, and those republicans with the president at the outreach deal, and if you are nominate a pre preapproved judges who are supported by democrats and republicans, they would not use their powers as senators to block the nominations. so classic negotiation, and one that would have given the appearance of sailing through, and then john lewis who has such a record of civil rights and holds such a special place in civil rights history, he comes out and makes his views known. of course, as a member of the house, he can does not have a vote, but for him to come out to say that he takes positions that john lewis and other democrats have stood for, he asks for them not to support this nomination. because of the rules change, you need a simple majority and the question is will harry reid bring it forward and will the president reconsider based on what jay carney is saying it is not at that point yet, so it is democrats and democrats talking about h

obstacle with two proposed nominees set to be considered tomorrow, one of whom is georgia state judge michael boggs is o'owe posed by pretty much every single liberal interest group. he voted to choose life license plates and tighten restrictions on minors seeking abortions, and to keep the confederate insignature nia on the state flag. the other judicial knock any is david baron, opposed by a coalition that includes code pink, the aclu, and senator rand paul. they're making a fairly simple request. when baron worked in thity department's office of legal council he coauthored a memo that provided a legal basebays for the u.s. government to target and kill anwar a.l. -- aulaqi. the bipartisan coalition of senators wants the memo and the other ones released. whether or not you agree with the memo on constitutional grounds i can think of no conceivable reason the logic contained thin should be kept secret from americans and yet that's exactly what this administration has done. summaries of the memo have leak and the obama administration to make only that one memo available to the senators that want to

democratic senators on capitol hill were critical of judicial nominee michael boggs.we will have that hearing in 25 minutes. later, in case you missed it, the story about a girl who survived being kidnapped the boko haram. >> i wrote something that stated that in the south, he was looked at as a hero. anytime we have a crisis, people are looking for someone they can look up to. whoe is a person here escaped a blockade. people in the free world, europe and stuff,, respect and was ships. no planes. did on the high seas was he captured the imaginations of people everywhere. people were constantly writing about him. anybody, you would hate the lowest names you can think of. he was a very honorable man and he hated that his name was being was not beingthat honorable to him or his family stop the united states government frowns upon this. abilitydisturbing their to fight a war and you are disturbing their commerce. he countered with this. he said he was doing nothing that had not been done before. especially by the united states. during the war of 1812. especially during th

so today members of congress grilled obama's nominee for the northern district court in georgia michael boggs and with good reason for his blog doesn't exactly have a stellar track record to say the least in fact as a georgia state lawmaker he voted in favor of keeping the confederate insignia on the georgia state flag lovely but even more shocking was his support of a radical amendment that would have made it easier for anti abortion activists to target abortion providers according to ny roll pro-choice advocacy group when boggs was a legislator he quote voted in favor of an anti choice amendment that would have required internet accessible profiles of doctors to include the numbers of abortion procedures the doctor provided in the previous ten years and effects of such a measure could put physicians at risk wow so why on earth would obama nominate such a backward thinking judge and first place because of a little tricky measure allowed by senate judiciary chairman patrick leahy which grants state senators the authority to veto the president's judicial nominees in their home state which woul

judge michael boggs was recommended to the president by senators isakson and chambliss as part of a compromisemocrat questioned his views on confederate flag, abortion right, civil rights. will the president stand by and demand this vote or pull this? i asked this in the context of this is a federal judgeship. michelle nunn could be the victim of this if african-americans in georgia are mad at the president and don't come out and turn out and vote in high numbers this year she loses. >> they're weighing both sides of this right now. this is really a fascinating insight though into how washington works. you've had the president of the united states having huge issues getting judges through capitol hill. hes goes and decides to try to work with republicans in georgia, make sure the two senators there back this nominee. and now he's having problems with democrats getting the nominee through. so they say you want us to work together, you want us to reach across the aisle and then this is the result. sometimes when you actually do that. >> think maybe they should have done this in an odd year, not

michael boggs is his name.ncerns about his views on abortion, views on gray gaye rights, twice voted to keep the confederate flag on the state legislature. did the white house not do this? did they not do enough work with the white house to get the support? >> i heard from two this morning that said that he has bipartisan support. they indicated that ultimately he is going to get through but he's going to need all the republicans and two democrats on the judiciary committee. look, this is emblematic of the larger problem the president has had with progressives in the judicial nominees. they think he has been too willing to compromise. you would think he could get thoou through the progressive judges but still he's nominating conservative judges. it shows they haven't mastered the nomination process here. >> in the state of georgia in particular where they think they can pick up a senate seat, might be competitive in the judges race. this timing is bizarre. >> georgia is a tough state when you're a democrat. you

michael boggs that president obama nominated for the georgia appeals court who. is who. he voted to pass a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage he voted to keep the confederate insignia on the georgia state flag he voted to require doctors who perform abortions supports their names and the number of abortions they perform on line. these are you know just a few of these things. john lewis on the other hand the congressman from georgia. said i'm not you know this because the president put this guy up i'm not going to be a good democrat go along he said this is in direct opposition to everything i've stood for during my entire career it's very very easy as i've worked tirelessly to rid george of the south in this nation from the stain of racial discrimination in any form including the display of confederate emblem in the georgia state flag so i'm not going to change their position now so we find this really interesting we talk about schism in the republican party i mean here you've got the democratic party in the administration because obama was willing to com

we also had a bit of a flap last week over a federal judge in georgia by the name of michael boggs who the president nominated and harry reid withdrew his support of box because of comments and positions you take and when was a state representative regarding the confederate flag and abortion. so that kind come through the whole deal the white house had struck with georgia's republican senators and the question over judge. >> host: a lot to watch this week and, of course, we will have coverage of the white house as well. go to c-span.org for all the details. bob cusack, managing editor of the hill. thank you both. appreciate your time. >> guest: thank you, greta. >> live to capitol hill for missouri senator claire mccaskill holding a first of several discussions on fighting rape and sexual assault on college campuses. >> today as you know we'll focus on the clarity and save act and talk to you about the challenges that those rules and regulations present. two weeks from today we will cover title ix. and in four weeks from today we will cover both the administrator process that's been a
