and they are still going to get a gun. >> final word, mr. casey. sen. casey: in no way were those three manners infringing on law-abiding gun owners.should n. that is what we need to focus on. that is a red herring. i know it is a good way to divide people. it is a typical washington politician talking about how to solve a problem. are we just going to surrender to this problem as a country? there is nothing we can do about it? that is not american. we can solve this problem. i am not saying we will eliminate it completely but we could substantially reduce the likelihood of another newtown or another parkland. we should move in that direction totally consistent with the second amendment. >> there is no question whichever one of you is elected, over the next six years, you will be called upon to make confirmation, advise and consent with respect to justices to the u.s. supreme court. mr. casey, last july even before president trump named judge kavanaugh to the u.s. supreme court, you announced he would oppose any nominee the president made to that court.

mr. casey. sen. casey: i want to thank you, john and lynn. this election creates a very clear choice. so much is at stake in this election, for the middle class, for seniors, for our children, and especially for workers threatened by policies by the republican congress and this administration. think about health care. we have a basic disagreement here. i have voted for and will make every effort possible to protect people that have an insurance policy that will protect them against pre-existing conditions. i have come forward over and over again to defend medicare and medicaid and social security. my opponent votes a different way. i have worked all my time in the united states senate on behalf of folks in the class, folks trying to get to the milk labs and pennsylvania workers. it is a clear divide. you have given me the opportunity to serve as your senator. i have enjoyed working with people in western pennsylvania. the tremendous work that has been done in this region to recover. people in western pennsylvania do not wait for the future, t

moderator: mr. casey? >> presidential leadership has to be brought to bear. and the president should be clear. we don't condone the killing of a journalist. even in the jurisdiction of a country we have a relationship with. the president should be clear about that. i'm glad the senate and the foreign relations committee in a bipartisan way has already sent a letter that triggers the so-called the [inaudible] act which commences an investigation and determination can be made about sections but the president needs to be clear about we don't tolerate this and value a free press and value journalists and we cannot allow even a country we have a relationship with to get away with this. finally, i don't trust the saudi's to deduct an independent investigation. moderator: mr. barletta, is the pressure on president john to act here given the fact that there is this a bro manse between himself and nbs. >> i don't think there is pressure but he will act appropriately. let's get to the bottom of it and i agree with

. >> mr. casey, i think that we can all agree on one thing at least. our politics and our politicia politicians. do you see yourself as a legislator capable of compromise and if so can you please cite a specific issue where you have compromise with the other site in the past. >> you are right about the stability we all need to do more. but in terms of the actual legislation, i've had a number don't have time for a list that i have a number of pieces of legislation that became law where i had to work with a republican to pass it. i also worked with another republican senator ticket and opioid bill on as it relates to helping provide resources to grant parents who are raising a grandchild because of the opioid crisis. so the record is pretty clear working for the other side. is there more that we can do and are there ways that we can work better together? i think that is possible. where have you compromise with the other side? >> i hate to be a talk or hear but it's not really your bill, mr. senator, the house bill from pennsylvania that was his belt and

mr. casey: thank you, mr. president. i would ask consent to speak as if in morning business. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. casey: thank you, mr. president. i come to the floor once again to raise concerns about the nomination of judge brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. these concerns, i think, permeate every aspect of the nomination process and the nominee himself. when judge kavanaugh's name came forward because of the nomination by president trump, he came from a list of 25 names. these names were assembled by the white house in consultation with the record indicates just two groups, the heritage foundation and the federalist society. both are far-right organizations that have a view of public policy that on most issues i don't agree with, but i think that's true with most pennsylvanians. i can't speak for the whole country, but i would guess not in agreement with many people around the country. the heritage foundation, for example, has called labor unions, quote, cartels. that's one view that they s

mr. casey: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator for pennsylvania. mr. casey: thank you, mr. president. we come together today to talk about a critical nomination to the united states supreme court at a time when the court will be considering a range of issues that are critically important to the american people. right now one of the issues that a lot of americans are most concerned about is the issue of health care. so many aspects to that issue that we can examine today. i'll get to larger overriding concerns i have with the nomination in a moment, but for now what i'll do is walk through some concerns i have when it comes to health care itself and in particular americans with disabilities. because i think this part of the debate and this part of judge kavanaugh's record and the potential impact that his decisions as an associate justice of the supreme court could have on health care itself and people with disabilities, this whole part of his record and what might happen has been maybe not unexamined, but not examined enough in this debate. i'll start w

mr. chairman. thank you all for being here today. >> thank you, senator jones. senator casey? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank the panel for being here today and for your work on these issues. i'll start with dr. bunting for a question which involves the issue of what we do on school property with regard to firearms and what's been asked and referred to several different times. i think there is one part of this question which i'm not sure has been asked. as many of you know, the two leading unions in the country for teachers are the american federation of teachers and the national education association. both have certainly opposed arming teachers and have jointly called proposals to do so, quote, astounding and disturbing, end quote. i'll read a much longer quotation from both unions. quote, we must do everything we can to reduce the possibility of any gunfire in schools and concentrate on ways to keep all guns off school property and ensure the safety of children and school employees, unquote. that's directly from both organizations. dr. bunting, i would ask you the first question,

mr. bobther senator, casey, who is just there because of who his father was -- and his father was a great a great governor -- he is in his last days as senator anyway. and to that one caller talking about selling out to the devil and all of that, when i voted for president trump, i did not look at him as my spiritual leader. i was not looking for him to be, you know, my guide in life. however, when he started saying "i am going to put conservative judges on the court," right there i knew he was my man. as far as speaking out against , justice ginsburg speaks out against trumped all the time. thank you very much. tweeting, justr ran into don mcgann in the senate. me, do you have the vote? him, shoulder shrug. me, is this an intimidation tactic or a good luck charm? shah interjects come a jokingly, "leave him alone." senator bob corker, who is retiring, as you know, and wanted to hear testimony from judge kavanaugh before he made his decision -- he has said he would vote yes. transferring account was injustices that happened to women for decades onto one person who had nothing to do with th

casey? >> madam chair, thank you for the second round. i is have two questions. mr. cavanaugh, i will start with you. you get extra credit because you went to penn, but that's not why i'm asking you the question. i want to take you far away from a big city like philadelphia into rural communities, as you know, from your work, you've got a proven track record working in those parts of states like mine. i have, i represent a state that has 48 of 67 counties are considered rural. that means we have a larger rural population than any other state except maybe three or four. over 3 million people living there. so access to health care in rural areas is a big issue in our state. people who worry about getting food on the table, or figuring out a way to get to their doctor's appointment is a bigger deal when you have great distances to travel, as you know. we know that in our state, and a lot of state, the area agencies on aging are critically important. i guess in light of your experience with these rural communities, and access to care, can you explain the importance of co

mr. chairman, i'm sorry. there is a matter that senator casey brought up -- >> okay. >> -- with respect to a procedural process as it relates to disability rights. it's called the reconsideration step that he will like to have there to ensure the protection for folks who are dealing with disability claims. i would just ask unanimous concept that that question that senator casey feels strongly about, which i do as well, also be something you respond to as well, mr. saul. thank you for that courtesy mr. chairman. >> thank you. i want to thank everybody for attending this, and their participation in this hearing today. and i would once more like to thank mr. saul for his willingness to serve. we really appreciate you. and your willingness. i ask that any member who wishes to submit questions for the record do so by the close of business thursday, october 4th. mr. saul, you have acquitted yourself very, very well, i'm proud of you. with that, the hearing is adjourned. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >>> looking at today's debate coverage, republican congressman dave brat debates abigail spanberger in virn's 7th distri
