in 1953 judge robert jackson observed the supreme court is not final because it is infallible but it is infallible only because it's final. in other words the recourse we the people have when judges overstep their bounds when it comes to constitutional interpretation is to amend the constitution itself. something that has only happened 27 times in our nations history. it is a steep hill to climb to be sure. but it is important for the legitimacy of the supreme court itself for the judges to be seen as staying in their lane and interpreting the law not making it up as they go along. i am reminded of another quote about the scope of the judiciary's duties and powers. 1820 thomas jefferson wrote, to consider the judge as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous and doctrine indeed. and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. once again, our founding fathers had the wisdom to establish three branches of government that share power to avoid any single person or institution from wielding absoluteha power. and ton ensure we maintain the

know this, robert jackson was actually a huge defender of the fourth amendment and of due process.e know that there is a fair trial going on. so tom cotton has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to the legacy of that particular supreme court justice. but more to the point, tom cotton in fact is the person not doing the things to prosecute the people who actually ran a coup against this country and this government. he's a sympathizer to fascism, not ketanji brown-jackson. he's -- as much as i can say about tom cotton on a family network show. show new republican tactic of smearing everyone who disagrees with them as supporting pedophilia. then, -- >> i do not need to spell out with the so-called filtration camps are innocent of. it's chilling. >> the allegations of war crimes grow as we get new insight into the chilling pretense of what russia means when they say they want to de-nazify ukraine. plus, the january six committees ivanka trump is

cornyn: justice robert jackson famously said the supreme court is not final because it is infallible. it is infallible only because it is final. i trust that would not be the case if the american people saw the supreme court as just another political branch. in simple terms, it means the supreme court is the last word in interpreting and applying our laws through the 70 to 80 cases it decides to hear each year. mainly because it is seen as an umpire, not as a player. while i view the judicial branch as the crown jewel of our constitutional republic, it has over the years gotten out of its lane on more than one occasion by acting like another political branch. over the years, the supreme court has developed various legal doctrines like substantive due process to create new rights out of whole cloth. rights that are neither in the text nor what the framers ever envisioned that these rights existed or would be created by nine unelected judges at the time of the founding. by investing federal power in article one, federal legislative power in article one and then reserving to the states t

times, everyone who was been in the supreme court was had a degree from a law school, justice robert jackson was one of the most notable supreme court justices, was the last justice to serve on the court who has earned his law degree through apprenticeship. it is not the case that all supreme court justices have had to serve as judges. my colleague was not a judge before joining the supreme court, she was a the united states, but she not been a judge. the chief justice have to had been president of the united states before joining the supreme court. many different professional background can do the job but it is difficult for me to see how someone who was not a lawyer could in. mr. ryan: you mention law school, you're the only justice who did not go to harvard or yale. i know you've said you could teach the others a bit about football. do you think -- what are your thoughts on the diversity of schools represented and what it should be going forward? justice barrett: diversity in every respect is good. including background of education. people choose law school for different reasons. i chose

like chief justice roberts, judge jackson has lived up to the values set out over 230 years ago and in doing so she has protected and defended our constitution. after a time as a public defender, judge jackson served as vice chair with the u.s. sentencing commission. she was confirmed unanimously by the united states senate. judge jackson was then nominated to the u.s. district court for the district of columbia. she was confirmed unanimously by the united states senate for that post. and last year president biden nominated judge jackson so serve on the d.c. circuit court of appeals, oftentimes referred to as our nation's second-highest court. yet again she was confirmed by the u.s. senate with bipartisan support. during the decade that she served as a federal judge jackson had a track record as a consensus builder just like justice pryor. during the -- breyer. during the decade she served, judge jackson has been evenhanded and she has been impartial. during the decade she served as a federal judge, judge jackson has ruled for and against the government, in favor of prosecutors and for

the deadlock vote puts judge jackson in the same company has justice clarence thomas and robert borico not be voted out of the committee favorably. that is on purpose. they do not want soon to be justice jackson on the court as a black woman unscathed. but unlike thomas and boric, judge jackson is neither an extremist nor accused of sexual harassment nor married to an insurrectionist. should give some republicans pause. clearly, it does not. support for jackson in a market law school poll among black adults sits at 86%, hispanics at 76% and among whites at 59% easily making her the most popular supreme court nominee since john roberts was elevated to chief justice in 2005. joining me now is former assistant u.s. attorney maya wiley who will next month become the president and ceo of the leadership conference on civil and human rights. congratulations, maya. i have to say, it struck me. i'll only put this on myself watching that montage of all of these, you know, right wing republican senators denouncing essentially this judge and saying they can't support her, and only these three not

objectivity and impartiality that chief justice roberts, also guide her as a mar of principle and philosophy. there were other criticisms of judge ketanji brown jackson, and one conservative commentator c described them, these attacks as meritless to the point of demagoguery and he was right. theco concocted outrage, the old grievances in the ancient it complains about the past hearings and treatment of the nominees and all will fade and be forgotten because what her performance was hurt her integrity and warmth denigrates and her dignity. far from being softon on crime, very movingly, she describes what it is like to have a family member walks the beach, as her brother is a cop and her uncle is a chief of police she ridescribes the worries and concerns and even fear that the family members have in the relatives or police and when there uncles, puts himself in harm's way. and it is probably the way in recent has been endorsed by largest rank and violent that fraternal police as well as international association of chiefs of police, high-ranking officials from the department of justice, and nearly 100 former assistant united states attorney's, many of

them and racial affirmative action and higher education that new justice jackson will sit on, and, you know, chief justice john robert once said that, you know, a new justice can make you think differently about cases, can chanllenge some of your assumptions and we might see that with justice jackson. the chairman referred in his opening remarks, as you heard, to how the temperament was really tested during those hearings and how the public is responded to her. there's a huge favorable rating for this nominee that is standing in contrast to where republicans are ready to oppose her, but i think she can have an effect even though as you say, jim, at the outset, she's not going to be able to do more than just replace another liberal on this court, but she could somehow enhance that with her distinct approach. >> manu raju, the committee stage of this likely will be an 11-11 tie. no republicans supporting the advancement of a nomination but given democratic majorities in the senate, it will continue onward and she'll get the votes if she has at least one republican with susan collins but it has taken on with what we've

that same impartiality that chief judge roberts described that will guide her as a matter of principle and philosophy. now, there were other criticisms of judge jackson and one conservative commentator described them, these attacks as quote, meritless to the point of demagoguery. he was right. the concocted outrage, the strawman, the old grievances, ancient complaints about past hearings and treatment of nominees, all will fade and be forgotten because what shone through her performance was her integrity, her depth and warmth and her grace and dignity. far from being soft on crime, very movingly, she described what it's like to have a family member who walks a beat because her brother is a cop, and her uncle, a chief of police. she described the worries, concerns, even fear that the family members have when their relatives are police, when their brother or uncle puts himself in harm's way, and that's probably the reason that she's been doorsed by the large est rank and file, the fraternal order of police as well as the international association of chiefs of police, high ranking officials from the department of justice and nearly 100 former assistant

jackson was treated respectfully. we talked about her record and her record only. if you wanted to talk about the way they treated robert work, bork or brett kavanaugh that's my of a disrespectful process there was nothing during the jackson confirmation that was related to her record, which is the precisely what the consent process in the senate is about. >> bret: what is your assessment of how the white house is handling russia's invasion in ukraine? >> too little too late in most instances. i think the president has been a little too cautious. he has generally gotten to the right place, we need to give the ukrainians everything they want as my colleague ben sasse says give them anything that will shoot. they have demonstrated they have the willingness to fight. the ability to fight. and our goal ought to be to win. >> bret: do you think the biden administration wants ukraine to win? >> well, i sure hope so. i can tell you a bipartisan group of members of congress want the ukrainians to win. they believe they can win. and we want to help them win. >> bret: and do you think it's genocide what's happening on the ground

roberts, and he was treated very fairly by democrats. serious questions were asked and answered, and there wasn't anything resembling the over-the-line, juvenile theatrics like that shown for judge jackson. things changed when president obama's final nomination was stolen by republicans. they refused to even hold a hearing or consider the sitting president's nominee on just fabricated grounds. democrats are trying to maintain a sharp focus on legal questions and personal qualifications. faced with sideshows and personal attacks, we stuck to issues. and what was particularly striking about those attacks, they were attacks against somebody that senate republicans had voted for unanimously when she was nominated to a lower level court. my view is the radicalization in the court and the nominations process is just poisonous to our democracy. but that was what was on display when republicans attacked judge jackson. so i want to start setting the record straight on several of the key issues. first, judge jackson was squarely within the sentencing norm for cases involving child sexual abuse material. she was smeared anyway as going soft on predators. it was a gross and baseless accusation, mor

robert handa will dig into the details to separate what some legal analysts called well-intended goals versus reality. >>> a celebration for the confirmation of judge can a tan -- ketanji brown jackson. she became the first black woman confirmed to serve on the nation's highest court. jackson summed her journey saying, it took one generation to go from segregation to the supreme court of the united states. >> it has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a black woman to be selected to serve on the supreme court of the united states. but we have made it. >> to know she was in the same place as i am and she made it up there gives me hope for my future. >> that student, she is from miami's palmetto high school, which is jackson's alma mater. >>> the conflict in ukraine. a deadly day in the war. 39 were killed and 87 wounded in a missile strike on a railway station in eastern ukraine. it was filled with women and children. speaking to the finnish parliament, he called it a deliberate attack. he said there were no military personnel at the station at the time of the attack. russia denied involvement. thousands of families who fled ukraine are returning to their besieged town. >>

roberts with burnley�*s first. it's now four points in two games for interim manager mike jackson after he took over from sean dyche the game on sunday? that is the way we are moving with this now. it's just about now, just enjoy the night, enjoy winning the game, and then tomorrow we can start to think about wolves and if we are still here, then prepare for that. former manchester united captain — and current derby county manager — wayne rooney says erik ten hag must be given time from the club and patience from fans if he's to succeed at old trafford. the dutchman — who is currently in charge of ajax — will take over at united at the end of the season after signing a three—year deal. ten hag will replace interim manager ralf rangick and becomes the fifth permanent manager to be appointed by united since alex ferguson retired nearly ten years ago. emma raducanu says she'll play without pressure in the quarter finals of the stuttgart open — where she'll face the world number one iga swiatek for the first time. raducanu booked her place in the last eight, beating germany's tamara korpatsch in three sets. it's the fi

this puts ketanji brown jackson in the same company as clarence thomas who was the last person not to be able to move out of the committee in a favorable way. another person was robertcourse he was voted down in committee. but now she is in the same company as those two people despite what most republicans say are her excellent qualifications. now, listening to not only today but also the confirmation hearings a couple weeks ago as well, this is just grudge after grudge, payback after payback between republicans and democrats on the committee. we've heard clarence thomas' name, robert bourque's name, amy coney barrett's name who republicans say that the democrats mistreated those nominees. and so senator lindsey graham threatened to -- when republicans are in control, not to bring a democratic supreme court nominee before the senate, not even to hold a hearing. and so these 20 years of really bitter, bitter, 25, 30 years of really bitter confirmation processes are really weighing on the senate. >> and when you think about it, there is also 2024 politics at play because you have people like ted cruz and hawley, a couple others, people who have an interest in proving

jackson became an avatar for the campaign slogans for the mid termidterm elections. >> gone are the days of big majorities supporting a president's nominee. we saw, of course, senator obama voted against john robertstreated her. it's gone from voting against to really using this as a theater, if you will, for 2024 campaign. it was striking. to your question before, will anyone -- say there's a vacancy in the second two terms of the biden term if republicans control the senate, there will be a vacancy on the supreme court. >> for years potentially. >> that is what has changed dramatically. we thought the garland situation was an outlier, that's not the case in mcconnell's eyes. >> she will be seated later this year. but the reason all of this matters is because the court has made a word shift in recent years. this year, and in the coming year, on the docket with pretty much an array of issues that cover so much of american civil light from abortion to gun control to religious liberty and lgbtq rights, affirmative action, the architecture of legal rulings going back to the '60s. her vote won't be a swing vote. it makes you wonder, what is the fwu future for the court with her on it? >> what you were

remain in favor of the right but what judge jackson will do with her confirmation is add legitimacy to the court as april institution which clearly chief justice robertsmost concerned with. she has stellar qualifications, in many ways is overqualified for the role. she survived three prior senate confirmations already. and she has experience on every level of the federal judiciary as well as being a supreme court clerk. i am thrilled that she's doing the report but i don't expect any brand shift in the court's ideology. that's something we have to wait for future president's terms for that to play out. >> i want to stick with you for a second. you have an impressive resume and are before students frequently as a professor. curious your thoughts personally. what does it personally mean to see this black woman ready to be confirmed to the supreme court? >> it is something i never could have imagined. when i was in law school over 15 years ago, there weren't any u.s. supreme court judges on the horizon that looked like judge jackson. she is not just a black woman, she's dark skinned, wears her hair naturally. she had stellar credentials. and most importa

jackson browne has said she will recuse herself from the harvard case. it will be a hard juggle for john roberts, but i hope he will be able to persuade clarence thomas not to be involved, even though he voted for the trump information to be released. let's see how he juggles this, you know? host: how do you think the chief justice has done in his job, has grown into this job in the many years, now, he has been on the court? caller: i think because of his age, a lot of the elders there probably have greater influence over him. although he has been on the courts for a while, i think he is being overpowered by the elders on the court. that is my opinion. he has done ok. host: he is 67. he is not an elder on the court? caller: compared to their compared to alito -- compared to clarence thomas, compared to alito, compared to sotomayor, he is still in his late 60's. these folks are hitting their 70's and 80's. host: one stephen breyer steps down, clarence thomas will be the oldest member of the court. i believe clarence thomas is 71-year-old. -- 73 years old. there you go. he will be the oldest membe
