the work of the judiciary -- neil gorsuch will be there for 30 years. go way beyond the time that president trump gets to be there and affect policy, and the the thing not only for supreme court, but for all the lower court. president trump has been absolutely excellent. you cannot give me another name of a senator or a representative that would have done better. he has nominated 26 -- we have confirmed 26 appellate court judges. 24 appellate court judges -- 26th district court judges. 26 district court judges. he has been incredibly successful, and i think it has to do with that first instinct. unknown.an the left continues to say that heritageeople that chose. they keep throwing names, and he checked on advisers, but it was his instinct to do this for the american people so that they could get to know him, and i think it has paid off for him immensely. >> do you want to make a point on that? >> we now see that there are members of that list who are moving on up. week, aust this judge get confirmed from the state of georgia. britt grant was a solicitor

and we should not take it lightly, if you remember the nomination and confirmation of justice neil gorsuchwhich we celebrated and we worked so hard for, what the replacement of justice an on -- antonin scalia so you are basically replacing a strong constitute -- constitutional list with constitutionalist. we were trying to preserve the status quo. you heard from the panel before, hillary was sure she was going win and going to get to nominate scalia's replacement and just with this issue being at the forefront, majority mcconnell putting it on ballot, let the american people make their voices heard with their vote and then with canned at a -- candide donald trump reassuring conservatives was amazing turn of effects that nobody could have predicted at the time and that gave us the amazing opportunity to put justice neil gorsuch in supreme court but now you are getting to replace what has been determined by everybody the swing vote. even though many media outlets want to portray as conservative the reality is that he did not help a strong constitutionalist view as we would call it. he would

he went to the same prep school that produced justice neil gorsuch. was told that they went to the same school at the same time. the motto, is that one's objective is to be a man for others. as you look the life and work and character of judge kavanaugh, you can see that it's always about others. he graduated from yale, he clerked in the third circuit, and then he declared for the man who he would be replacing. he served as the associate counsel of the white house, what many regard as the second highest court in the land, the court of appeals of the district of columbia. during his time on the bench, he has been called the judges judge, stunning 39 of his 48 clerks of gone on to clerk at the supreme court. his peers and see him as a thought leader, his opinions are cited by courts across the country, and the supreme court has endorsed his opinions more than a dozen times. i think that is worth a round of applause. he has a record of credibility on the bench, he is 307 opinions, they prove his intellect, and you can see he has a judicial philosophy. he

like supreme court justice neil gorsuch, who is doing a great job, and judge brett kavanaugh, who we are trying to get through right now.

confirmation process for neil gorsuch. now we have brett cavanaugh's confirmation coming up next week. if i could, what are your expectations for that and timing of a replacement for mccain seat is going to be crucial. >> it is. i think this is an excellent nomination by the president. i will expect he will be confirmed before the election. tremendously qualified both in education and experience. just like justice gorsuch, i think you will have a strong votes and it will be a bipartisan vote. >> sandra: i'm so sorry for your loss. he was a friend and mentor to you. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me on. my heart goes out to his family. what a wonderful group of peop people. >> sandra: thank you. joining us now, john kyle who was mccain's colleague from arizona in the u.s. senate from 1995 until to 2013. he's been discussed as a possible replacement. thank you for coming on. you join us by phone. could you share with us your thoughts this morning.

look at neil gorsuch, he had a unanimous and well-qualified rating from the american bar, though here been confirm of the , alle in 2006 unanimously the three democrats voted against -- all but three democrats voted against conforming justice gorsuch. they are pulling out all the stops on judge kavanaugh. , notd in the unthinkable it was unthinkable that a senator would announce their opposition to a nominee before the nominee was announced. happened, fively senate democrats announced they were opposed to president trump's nominee to the supreme court before president trump nominated judge kavanaugh. that is simply obstruct and oppose. the people deserve better. senator schumer's leading democrats to come got -- they are demanding a ridiculous number of documents into judge kavanaugh's past, the chairman has been sending strong and we are praying for him, chairman grassley has a long reputation of credibility for vetting judicial nominees. but is also putting guardrails of reasonable expectation around document production. think about this, during the confirmation of elena kagan, they

mcgahn has played a key role in shaping the president's pick including supreme court justice neil gorsuch and now nominee kavanaugh. sources close to mcgahn tell cbs news he was surprised by the tweet. there is speculation the president was upset with mcgahn's 30-hour interview with special counsel robert mueller. mcgahn was involved in discussions that could be key if mueller's team looks to build an obstruction of justice case against president trump. >>> time now 4:42. a california man on probation caught with a 3d printed gun inside his home. why police could not arrest him. while other burger places serve the same old stuff, i'm the only one that has the bowls to serve something different. i mean, just look at my teriyaki bowls. choose from steak or chicken, covered in teriyaki sauce, plus your choice of white or brown rice. what about these bowls jack? hey! you got some pretty nice bowls there. and so does dan! thanks jack! those are some nice bowls. everyone's gonna want to get their hands on jack's bowls. try my bowls! see that right there? you can't say that. what? i was just say

when neil gorsuch was nominated by president trump to serve on the supreme court and fill the vacancy, he was not notified by the white house. the white house called the federal society had been asked him to call mr. gorsuch and tell him the good news. to say that the federal society play critical role in the selection of a nominee is an understatement. if you don't clear their background tests. their litmus test you cannot be considered by the trump administration for the supreme court. that's offensive to me. you don't see reference to the federalist society for the heritage institute in the united states constitution. to get to any special interest group, light rafter center, that kind of authority is beyond what our founding fathers imagined would be the process for selecting someone for the supreme court. that gets more complicated. before we consider nominee to the supreme court we have to review their records. it takes time. literally scores of lawyers sit down and go through the published opinions and speeches and other documents which evidence a person's background. when it c

burke also served as presidential representative during the neil gorsuch nomination but i did not hear anything about the involvement in that nomination. and they did not object to mr. lindsay is involvement during nominations. your objection to the role now is another opportunistic attempt tto discredit the process and to avoid talking about judge "after words" -- kavanaugh 's nomination.the national archives are not being cut out of this process. it has been claimed by some people. under the presidential records act, he has the right to request his own administrations documents. he can choose to make a document public or claim that is protected under executive privilege. this is precisely what he is doing now. the ipresident is providing a very valuable public service to the public at what is a very considerable cost. it happens to be in nonpublic expense. he is expediting the review process and making sure that they have all of the documents it needs to conduct a timely and efficient confirmation process. the president and his legal team should be thanked. not scorned for providing

when neil gorsuch was nominated by president trump to serve on the supreme court, to fill the vacancy of antonin scalia, he was not notified by the white house. the white house called the federalist society head, leonard leo, and asked him to call mr. gorsuch and tell him the good news. so to say that the federalist society and heritage institute play a critical role in the selection of a nominee is an understatement. if you don't clear their background test, their litmus test, you cannot be considered by the trump administration for the supreme court. that's offensive to me. you don't see any reference to the federalist society or the heritage institute in the united states constitution. there is a clear reference to a president, elected by the people of the united states, but to give to any special interest group, right, left, or center, that kind of authority is way beyond what our founding fathers imagined would be this process for selecting someone from the supreme court. but then it gets even more complicated. before we consider a nominee for the supreme court, we have to carefu

if he has to subpoena president trump, would supreme court justice neil gorsuch have to recuse himself interesting question. gorsuch, in the sense that formally from a legal ethics standpoint, there's no formal reason to recuse himself because this person appointed him. on the cavanagh one, interesting because he has written a lot about executive authority and the president. so, you could make a claim that maybe he should recuse himself if it got down to that. i think formally, with both of them, the answer is no. as i said with cavanagh, it might be more compelling. >> doug, what do you think is better, to sit down with mueller or have him subpoenaed? >> from the standpoint of the defense, you mean? no, at this point, it's clear he shouldn't voluntarily sit down. that forces the hand with the subpoena. as you have heard people say, and they are right, it sets up a legal showdown and tracks back to your question a minute ago into the midterm elections. mueller may walk away from that. the better course is to simply, ultimately not agree, use the pr spin, i wanted to go in, my lawyer sa

[cheers and applause] moved the u.s. embassy to jerusalem after promises. we are protecting americans from terrorists with our travel ban that just got by the supreme court. issued executive orders, keeping open guantanamo bay. they wanted to close it. i want to keep it open and use it. renegotiating disaster history deals and imposing tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum and frankly on countries that are taking advantage of us and have been for many decades. we are imposing tariffs. and by the way, they imposed tariffs on us. you ever see anything like this? i will have politicians come to me. sir, we want free trade. i said so do i. well, such and such a country, you are raising their tariffs. i said yeah, but they have massive tariffs on us. 30% in one case. 100%. in some cases, more than that.

neil gorsuch and they are most likely to vote for judge kavanaugh. >> you both hold the fate of approximately93 million won of of childbearing age in your hands. with this vote on brett kavanaugh you will be defining the future of these 93 million woman with one vote. >> stop it! stop it now and make sure we have a democratic house to have a break on the president after the 2018 election. >> really, the lives of 93 million child childbearing e women? >> donald trump during the campaign made it clear that any support nominee that he had the opportunity to nominate where he president, he would run a litmus test on whether or not they would overturn roe v. wade. so that is what is at stake here. there is a lot at stake here and that's why you are seeing all these progressive organizations from demanded justice to -- you name them, they are all aligned, the resistance is aligned here to put pressure pressure on senate democrats to oppose the nation. it's a smart tactic and it shows that democrats are energized and enthusiastic. but at the same time, -- it's false. >> made it very interesting that

the three he's met with at this point are all three that voted for neil gorsuch for the last supreme court justice and three facing really tough re-elections in states trump won by double digits. they're facing pressure to support kavanaugh. they have to take the meeting. >> neil: should we say heidi heitkamp of north dakota, joe donnelly and joe manchin. they're in big win trump states. do you think at this point or are you getting a sense that they would vote for kavanaugh? >> well, they're reserving that they're going to wait to see what happens during the hearings. i think they'll wait to the very last minute to show their hands. i think they're really waiting to see what happens with senator susan collins and lisa murkowski. the two republicans that are sort of the question marks. they have not said which way they will vote. they are both pro choice and have broken with their party in the past. so democrats' strategy is to put the pressure on those two first, to see if those two don't do it, democrats can stand united. if they do vote for him, then you have 50 republicans and he

. >> ron worked with neil gorsuch last year.d with his sherpa. >> the confirmation process has turned into a political campaign for office. while you have judges that have brilliant legal minds, they are literally running for office for the first time. having a sherpa or campaign manager is useful. >> and he knows something about sherpas. he was chief justice for john roberts and harriet meyers that with drew. so gillespie understand what kyle is looking for in the meetings. >> he will get a read, an objective read from the meetings of body language and knowing his former colleagues as he does and report it in to the process as the white house team, the confirmation team tries to assess the standing and where they are in terms of the whip couldn't. >> other sherpas include dan coats for sam alito and chuck schumer guided sonya soto mayo throw her confirmation process. >> the capitol is 880 feet above sea level. but getting to the supreme court, it requires a sherpa. >> shepard: even goats need to play hooky once in a while. this

they also voted for president trump's first nominee neil gorsuch.can senator ron johnson, who has already lauded the nominee. meanwhile, the senate judiciary committee released a third batch of documents from cavanaugh's time as a white house lawyer for president george w. bush and reviewed documents from his 12 years on the d.c. circuit. senator cornyn says more documents on his background are being produced than for any other supreme court nominee. >> the best way to get a sense of how a judge will perform in the future is past performance. >> reporter: september 4 and could last for days. top senate republicans want him confirmed by the supreme court's next term which begins october 1st. in washington, ray bogan, fox news. >>> a construction worker crushed to death by a steel beam on a muni project in san francisco. tonight we are learning the construction company involved had a number of past violations that apparently were not disclosed. oakland's shimmick construction has been hit now with nearly 40 violations in the last 10 years. good evenin

he was one of neil gorsuch's -- on the 10th circuit. he is a graduate of ucla and the united states never war college. i am going to turn it over to justin. >> great to see all of you. i am going to talk about judge kavanaugh's opinions about individual rights. there is not enough time to go through all of them. he has been on the bench for 12 years. he has 3 -- written opinions. hopefully you have watched enough kavanaugh coverage to know 13 of his opinions have been endorsed by the supreme court, which suggests the opinions we are going to talk about our within the mainstream. 13 were endorsed not just by conservative members of the court, but by the courts' less conservative members. since there is not time to cover all individual liberties, i will start with the first amendment and get all the way to the second. [laughter] i want to highlight for judge , aanaugh's opinions religious liberty opinion and the second amendment opinion. kavanaugh,ech, judge one of his recent opinions concerned the obama administration's net neutrality an

the white house counsel has been instrumental in getting neil gorsuch appointed to the supreme court, and mcgahn is now shepherding the nomination of brett kavanaugh. so far he's helped win senate confirmation of more than two dozen appeals court judges. the potential loss of mcgahn as an ally in the white house has sparked concern among republican senators. today senator chuck grassley, chairman of the executive committee, posted about him leaving. he said, quote, i hope it's not true. mcgahn is leaving the counsel. you can't let that happen. there is also talk about replacement for mcgahn. emmett flood, this man, is the one name most frequently mentioned. flood represented former president bill clinton when he was impeached. the "washington post" sent this tweet today saying, flood is widely seen as a likely replacement and was personally recruited by mcgahn to join the white house back in the spring. flood has built a rapport with potus, to mcgahn's relief. but no decision finalized yet. the headline on another blockbuster piece of reporting by the "washington post" tonight reads,

we confirmed the great neil gorsuch to the supreme court of the united states, and justice kavanaugh is doing great. looks like -- very tough -- central casting. how do you vote against him. but the democrats may find a way. $700 billion for our military this year. and billion with a b. our military will be stronger and bigger and better and more sophisticated than it's ever been. ever. and hopefully we'll never have to use it. we have a lot of good fighters out here. i know some of them, i see some of them. one thing about a fighter, the stronger your military, the better chance you have of never having to use it. we don't want to use it. we don't want to use it. and all of that equipment is being built right here in the u.s.a. we make the greatest fighter jets in the world. we make the greatest ships in the world. we make the greatest missiles and rockets. at my direction the pentagon is working hard to create the 6th branch of the american armed forces. the space force. i am very excited. we need it. that's the new frontier. i'm not just talking about sending rockets to the moon.

they both voted for neil gorsuch to confirm them.ase real challenging election bid this is fall. not like them voting yes, unclear if they will, helps them in their re-election efforts but inoculates them from attacks and other criticisms from the right if they do in fact vote yes. david: warning to nancy pelosi and other establishment types inside the beltway in the democrat party, progressive candidates bouncing back in key races last night. joe ding kin campaign director for leftist working families party. he said, tonight's results are nothing less than size i can. you can feel the progressive earthquake from milwaukee to danbury, to burlington. a new generation of trailblazing progressives are running and they are running without the backing of any political machine. so, chad, what do the political machines inside the beltway think about this? >> that is something they do like because they think it will get a lot of democrats to the polls but it is not in those urban areas where democrats have to win. they have to win in rural a

the same with the neil gorsuch nomination. so they been pushing more roadblocks like demanding documents, watch. >> the majority of the senate has still not seen the bulk of his record. >> 100% of the documents that are relevant, at 100% of them are before us, and they are open to any senator to look at. >> judiciary chair grassley just announced another major breakthrough. the panel is releasing 85,000 more pages of documents from his time as a young white house lawyer. that means they have now turned over 287,000 pages. democrats want more and, cavanaugh is a fierce advocate for executive power. democrats are making the case for special counsel robert mueller if he tries to subpoena testimony from the president, that could go to the supreme court and kavanaugh would have left problem there. he's likely to be confirmed. >> martha: very interesting, thank you so much. joining me now is one of the senators as we mentioned to signed the letter and wants her confirmation hearings to be probe postponed. chris, who sits on that sen
