sentences for juveniles but did not vote on retroactivity leaving that issue unresolved until the michigan supreme court makes the ultimate decision. i'm disappointed we were right back to the old stereotype of we need to punish people and that punishment is an eye for an eye. flint michigan consistently ranks as one of the most dangerous cities in america it is here that thirty three year old pizza delivery man michael nettles was robbed and shot to death by a group of teenagers. during the ensuing trials there was conflicting testimony as to which one of the juvenile offenders actually shot and killed mr nettles as he tried to escape but only one of the defendants john wick where was ever found guilty of felony murder for the past four years one thousand year old with where has sat in prison sentence there for the rest of his natural life. what was it like a no growing up in. flint radicals enjoy about bruno single because believe me anything like that have a survive again. i just needed a have a feeling. this way did you ever feel scared or threatened. by me at a lot of times. i have only chosen to a

michigan. unlike many supreme court justices, he did not attend harvard or yale. conservative groups are happy with him. his judicial record is not as comprehensive as kavanaugh's is. when you're on the d.c. circuit, you deal with fundamental things. judge amy barrett is in the running but she could be seen as the one to overturn roe v. wade. nominating here likely with democrats like heidi heitkamp and joe manchin could be in a box. like if you're a democratic senator running in the state the president won, how do you say no to a woman being appoint on the supreme court? it would only be the second time a republican president has appointed a woman. the last time was ronald reagan, who was a moderate republican. so the president looking for a more conservative justice. the tip could tip his hand in montana tonight. if he doesn't say anything before, we could expect an announcement 9:00 p.m. monday. melissa? >> thanks, john. let's go to the couch. when senator cardin was talking about the agenda that the group has, is it fair to characterize what the right wants as

supreme court justice. "politico" reports michigan-based appeals court judge raymond kethledge is getting an 11th-hour push as a consensus push for conservatives. the judges' boosters call him imminently. joining me jeffrey rose, a law professor at the george washington university. jeffrey, let me start by playing a bit of tape of the president in big sky country yesterday talking about his pick. let's take a listen. >> as you know, there's now a vacancy on the supreme court. and if you tune in monday at 9:00, i think you will be extremely happy with the selection. right. and they're all great. they're all great. >> appointment viewing monday night at 9:00. jeffrey, you followed the court for a long time. suffice it to say this process is different from what we have seen before right down to the self-imposed deadline of monday night. how is this process different? what are the consequences of that? >> well, it is different because the list is so firm and the deadlines are so strict. it is like -- almost like journalism where it is all about the deadline. the president has said he will pick from these 25. a

supreme court. the current eight supreme court justices fit that mold. if it is kethledge, he went to michigan.ent to notre dame. that would break tradition. michigan and notre dame talking about football. adam: i did not go to notre dame and i lived in south bend. i've been to the grotto. those are notre dame grads, i have been there. i did not light a canned dell. i'm jewish. i would rooting for barrett. reporter: this michigan grad might say otherwise at least relates to football. adam: studebakers, catch you later. we have to talk about serious stuff. president trump's announcement kicks off contentious nomination process that fired up both sides of the aisle ahead of november mitt term elections. we're joined by fox news contributor deroy murdoch and doug schoen. deroy, let me start with you, isn't this all about nothing? the democrats can not stop the domination, end of discussion, right? >> if they get, manage to pull aside, pull to the side susan collins or lisa murkowski, they might be able to do it. absence of john mccain adds to the difficult math here. but i think that more than lik

supreme court seat vacated by justice kennedy. there are two women on that list. and the seven names probably don't look familiar. a few are from the sixth circuit court in michigan. although candidate mike lee is a u.s. senator from utah, he is an attorney but has never been a judge. and thomas hardiman was a close second to neil gorsuch, who was president trump's first appointment. >>> a homicide investigation at a brent wood home. a woman was found dead inside. a woman we spoke to today says she's surprised something like this would happen in her neighborhood. >> it's quiet. everyone keeps to themselves. we're friendly. everyone kind of knows everyone. we've had some turnover lately. it's a quiet place. there's never been issues, ever. >> we have a reporter on the scene, we'll bring you an update at 6:00. >> and a backup on the bridge. this is on dunbarton bridge. this happened just after 3:00. chp just reopened one of the blocked lanes. so right now only one eastbound lane is block. no word as to why that trailer flipped over. >>> it is now the size of fresno, that massive wildfire burning in yolo, napa and sonoma countys has nearby doubled in the past 2 h4 h

michigan, court of appeals, sixth circuit. >> another recent transplant to the court of appeals. she came off the state supreme court. she hasn't been there very long. has been regarded in academic circles for quite a while has someone who is a very, very solid conservative. in the president is interested in somebody who is interested in somebody who has more judicial experience, he might go for larsen. >> your wild card, william h. prior jr., alabama, the 11th circuit, is known for one thing and that is his resistance to roe v. wade. >> oft stated and strongly stated. if the president decides i really need for movement conservatives, evangelicals to get out there and support me, get to the polls, support this nominee. if you want the nuclear option, it's bill pryor. deeply respected intellect, but he is the one person who could throw into question some of the support of the centrist republican senators who do express some concern about roe v. wade. but he would really, really, really create an all-out war and maybe a distraction from other things in politics. >> please keep in close touch with us between now and jul

michigan. jim: [laughs] david: coming up next, setting up a confirmation fight. the path to the supreme courte senate, and they cannot afford any wavering votes for president trump's pic. we will tell you how they are preparing next. coming up, special coverage of president trump's supreme court decision. we will have several guests. from washington, this is bloomberg. ♪ his is bloomberg. ♪ david: this is "bloomberg markets: balance of power." i'm david westin, reporting from washington. whomever president trump chooses as a supreme court nominee tonight, he will have to work hard to get senate confirmation before the midterm elections in november. our hill reporter for bloomberg. give us what the president has in store to get it through. >> it is going to be a whale of a fight regardless of who the nominee is. the names on a shortlist are great capital, amy coney barrett, raymond kethledge, and thomas hardiman, and all of them are expected to be more anthonytive than kennedy to this is obviously a rough moment for democrats in the senate, because they have to choose, especially those in cons

planet fitness had a similar issue in michigan a few years back from a woman who sued. initially it was thrown out, the supreme court take another look. there is not a lawsuit yet in this case but a hint that there could be one to come, liberty counsel in his letters planet fitness says she was kicked out under a policy that if someone is acting up they are not allowed to stay in the gym. the letter says only after three offenses of judging, those get you kicked out may staff terminate membership proposal. planet fitness employees failed to abide by the policy, judging cannot include calling attention to behavior which is unlawful or harassment on the basis of sex which mr. rice actually ring presence in the locker room was. they stole out the claim, she got no warning, made a complaint about something she felt was a threat, she's gone. >> he is applying her makeup in the locker room, miss h who has not identified herself harasses her, attempting to get her thrown out of the gym, miss rice called the police and complained. and the harassment on the part of what got her thrown out of the membership. could this revise

michigan that's the most per capita of any state. but in two thousand and twelve in the case of miller versus alabama the u.s. supreme court banned mandatory life without parole sentences for all juveniles even those who commit murder. now judges would have to hold a separate sentencing hearing taking into account a list of mitigating factors before sending juvenile murderers away for the rest of their lives. in this episode of the system we'll examine the cases of two juveniles serving life without parole in michigan one years before the miller decision and one sentence immediately after thirty four year old. has spent more than half his life in prison for his role in the robbery and murder of a convenience store clerk when he was sixteen. i've come to grand rapids to meet his defense attorney larry failon. what do you want people to know about this case it's not a typical case no no eyes that tip number one. which is tragic enough itself that someone. could be involved in a murder. from sols perspective you look at him and you you meet him in you talk to him within minutes even you know sought solace different was differ

supreme court justice anthony kennedy. the president has interviewed at least seven candidates there are two women, judge amy coney barrett of indiana and judge joan larsen of michiganof appeals by the trump administration. abortion took center stage at their joint confirmation hearing. >> i would be bound by the precedents of the supreme court. >> i agree with justice larsen. >> conservatives have rallied around judge coney barrett. she is a former law professor at notre dame and the mother of seven children, one with special needs and two from haiti. democrats question how her catholic fate would affect her decisions. the president says he will announce his choice monday. >>> well, some scary moments above new york harbor today. a woman now identified as 44-year-old terese okum u spent about four hours evading police at the base of the statue of liberty. rangers cleared before closing time. as a precaution, a special team of nypd officers finally captured her using climbing equipment. she now faces federal misdemeanor charges and will be in court tomorrow. she wore a t-shirt from the group rise and resist which has called for abolishing i.c.e. and earlier today u.

supreme court too. >> raymond kethledge 51 years old out of the 6th circuit. university of michigan law grad so not necessarily in the mold of the ivy league. the story in the new york times that mcconnell has pointed to kethledge as one of the two that could have the easiest nomination path. >> he hasn't attracted the kind of criticism from a few conservatives that brett kavanaugh has. he has a long judicial track record, on the sixth circuit for ten years possibly longer. also clerked for kennedy, university of michigan is a fine law school. also wrote a book recently about leadership that i think was well done and attracted a lot of attention. he would also do a fine job as associate justice. >> amy barrett, 46 years old, 7th circuit, on the federal court of appeals since november i believe. you're talking seven eight months. there's some questions about whether or not her resume is long enough and notre dame law graduate. is the resume there? >> she hasn't been a judge for very long. but she's been a very distinguished academic for a long time. she was a gw and university of vir

michigan, law clerk for anthony kennedy. both sides gearing up for fight over the nominee. protests already scheduled tonight at the supreme court. national abortion rights action league will protest starting at 8:00 on the steps of the supreme court. but if you've been watching fox business today and other networks, there are groups which are buying advertising in support of the president and his nominee. one of those groups, judicial crisis network has already spent more than one million dollars. they will spend 2.4 million promoting whoever the president chooses to be his nominee. one last thing, former arizona or retired arizona senator jon kyle will be the point person to help steer them through the confirmation hearing and people up on the hill they have to impress. back to you. trish: thank you very much, adam. i will have more on the significance of president trump's nominee later in the show with judge andrew napolitano. i want to get to the intel, no matter who the president nominates the liberal media, left, will be very aggressive. watch them here before even announced his pick. >> it is is a historic decision. more

michigan? perhaps he ran from the last time, a judge in pennsylvania. the mainstream conservative is judge bret cavanaugh, often a farm team for the supreme court, a formerlerk for justice kennedy, whose shoes he might fill. he once worked for ken starr and opined a president's words can be used against him in a case obstruction of justice might be an impediment. given the investigation that trump faces from rob muter. the religious fundamentalalist choice, amy coney barrett a law professor, who now sits on the 7th court of appeals in chicago, said to be the choice of social conservatives from outside the bellway. this mother of seven, two children adopted from haiti, from the charismatic group people of praise, she once clerked for antonin scalia. there might be 'path for a compromise candidate, like cavanaugh, he too clerked for kennedy. or maybe thomas hard i man. circuit court of appeals in philadelphia. those are the reported four finalists. although, with president trump, one never knows who will be the last to be voted off the island. here are the most important stats about these potential justices, at least according to me. calf a -- there appear

supreme court precedents. finally there's raymond kethledge, he's 51 years old and lives near ann arbor, michigan. he was a former law clerk to justice ken tee. he was appointed by george w. bush to serve on the sixth circuit court of appeals. he was confirmed back in 2008. conservative radio host and political analyst hugh hewitt wrote his resounding support for kethledge in an op-ed. he wrote that he has been faithful for more than a decade to the originalist approach while white house staffers, by the way, will have read every word of kethledge's many writings and will conclude gorsuch 2.0. let's bring in elliott williams, the principal at the rabin group and previously served as deputy assistant attorney general for the justice department's legislative affairs department during the obama administration. thanks for joining us. >> no problem, thanks a lot. >> let's talk about what president trump is looking for. there's some as hans was just telling us he likes the optics, he likes people who look like they're out of central casting, who would look good as a supreme court justice. it's a little

supreme court opinions. i don't do this b put those by e of the. efforts to provide scientific evidence that children in flint michigan were exposed to lead poisoningrough the water supply. john delaney the first democrat to declare for the 2020 presidential election laid out his vision for america. and amanda carpenter former senior staffer for the republicarepublican senators tee and jim demint provided a critical analysis of president trump political messaging. in the coming weeks on "after words," former white house press secretary sean spicer will discuss his time in the trump administration. comedian and actor hubley will offer his thoughts on race in america and mark adams, shares his experience retracing the 1899 expedition through alaska exploring the differences in the region's climate then and now. >> alaskans love the outdoors. they are constantly in the outdoors especially in the summer because it is the three months when you can get outside and enjoy those long days and things you are not able to do in january and february. at the same time, conservation is kind of a taboo subject in much of america. it's a very deep red state. they a

supreme court for decades. unlike brett cavanaugh whoette went to nail law school, justice kethledge is a wolverine, university of michigans judicial record is not as comprehensive as cavanaugh. judge jamie barrett is drawing fire from democrats who fear she would overturn roe vs. wade. her support for overturning judicial precedent if she believes they were erroneously decided. i'm told the president would like to appoint a would map and nominating her would effectively put democratic senators like joe manchin, joe donnely and tim cain into a box they voted to confirm her last year. regardless of who the president nominates, there's going to be a big battle in congress over the confirmation. as you pointed out at the top, trace, this would 'ment a 5-4 conservative majority in the court for decades, years if not decades to come. listen to maryland senator benl carden speaking about this. >> clearly the president is looking at a list prepared by an extreme group that has an agenda that really wants to just ratify the president's policies. i think what the american people need to be concerned about is we're talking about ch

michigan nominee. >> do you -- that's kethrich and hardeman. think they'll all be -- they're good judges. i think they would be fine justices of the supreme court. i do think the president has to think about who is easiest to get confirmed here. and i expect we'll do that on sort of a normal timetable of a couple of months. >> your colleague, lindsey graham here last week said he believes roe is essentially settled law. he believes in precedent and wants to see a nominee who also believes in precedent. where are you on this? >> i think these judges, which are the ones nominated, should follow the ginsburg strategy, which is no hence, no foretelling -- >> it's the 21st century. i think the american people should know. no? >> you don't think the notorious rbg standard is good enough? >>hihat's --is the 21st century, where we expect everything -- >> i think we t expect judges judge the case that comes up before them. i'm not a lawyer. this is maybe aretty good month not to be a lawntr. but prece is important, but it's not the only thing. we have had bad precedents that were reversed after decades. >> that's notrt a nons for you. >> what is not a n
