what what this really does it puts the spotlight for the next two years on the likes of say ruth bader ginsburg because we already know this will be a deeply conservative court but still probably five four but if ruth bader ginsburg who is really now the oldest member of the court for some reason were to step down now you're talking about a dramatic generational historical shift in the court should that happen does the new justice. think that that will take fifty vaults that's the problem that they votes because vice president pats can cast the tie breaking vote and they will force it through. and that's the way they're going to do it they're going to try to do it the democrats are drown. they want to forty nine and that's why it's critically important the democrats want to have a prayer here that they have people who are fighting. and fighting all frauds around people want to sit around and you know drink coffee at a donuts and you know run around playing local politics this is a very very serious situation. for the democrats and quite frankly a lot of moderate to liberal republicans who have

ruth bader ginsburg: one question about the proceeding. when the immigration judge ordered a removal in absentia, was the court aware that pereira hadn't received any notice of the hearing place and date? frederick liu: i believe the answer is no. i admit the record, the administrative record, we have is not exceptionally clear on that point, but my understanding is that in 2007, when that initial removal order was issued, that the i.j. assumed that pereira had received notice. when it turned out later that pereira hadn't received that notice, the ij reopened those proceedings. that's the precise consequence that congress attached to the failure to give the date and time. you see it play out in the very facts of this case. this is the (b)(5) consequence. when congress said you need to get notice in accordance with paragraph 1 or 2 of section 1229(a), this was the consequence it had in mind. you cannot get removed in absentia, and you have the authority to rescind it. now my friend says the date is important because it reflects the seriousn

ruth bader ginsburg is 85. beyer is 80 this summer.> tal, you cover immigration for us. there is an important message i don't want to be lost. just six children have been reunited with their families from the separation at the border from the trump administration policies. i don't think we should let this fade into the headlines. there is a lot of work to be done for the administration to reunite families. what do we know? >> christine, we know that six children -- six fewer children are in hhs custody than a week ago. we don't know if they have been reunited or released to a sponsor facility. hhs is not answering that question and not answering a lot of questions. including the question of who is in charge. we should note somewhere upwards of 500 children were reunited before the executive order came down. they were mostly in hhs custody. we have 2,000 kids remaining in hhs custody. we now have a court order that they need to be reunited, youngest ones of them in two weeks. the majority of them within 30 days. we have continued to ask

and you can see that down here we have ruth bader ginsburg at 85, justice kennedy almost 82, and thenand thomas and alito, sotomayor, the chief justice john roberts is here, and then kagan and last but not least neil gorsuch. now let's put those appointed by democratic presidents on this side and republicans on the other side. and consider this. the average age on the democratic side is 71 1/2. the average age on the republican side is nearly 66 1/2. and look what happens when kennedy leaves. suddenly the two oldest justices are both on the democratic front and according to an analysis by the pew research group, they have already been on the court longer than expected based on their age when they were appointed. so has clarence thomas, but he is the only one on the conservative side and he is still about nine younears young than breyer. and gorsuch is just 50. pew center found when a justice is appointed around that age, he our she will tend to serve close to 19 years. if kennedy is replaced with a much younger justice, the republican nominees will certainly dominate the court for at

i really think everyone who cares about women's equality should give thanks to ruth bader ginsburg. as a young lawyer and then establish lawyer before she became a supreme court justice she brought a lot of those cases. i can remember i was practicing law. my husband was attorney general. the attorney general of arkansas. made $15,000 a year. i was making somewhat more than that as a lawyer. i applied for a credit card. this was probably 1977 or 1978. the houston conference. i was told i cannot get a credit card in my own name. i had to get it to my husband. that seems like ancient history. those of us sitting here remember that. the move to knock down barriers so that young girls could play sports was title ix. and so much else. really did begin a move toward legal equality in our own country. meanwhile around the world that was a distant dream. if you traveled over the last 30 or 40 years and you could see with your own eyes and much of the rest of the world the denial of opportunity and rights to girls and women. it was not only something that was personally shocking and troublin

years, are democrats looking saying geez, why wasn't the last administration doing this with ruth bader ginsburg? >> there are a lot of lessons there. democrats should learn how to be like republicans. it was very lyndon johnson-esque which was what some of us were talking about. the democrats have been outmaneuvered but they've been outorganized by republicans who have spent 40 years in the wilderness getting themselves together and their voters are motivated. roe v. wade, not that i would accuse the republicans of cynicism but roe v. wade is the a very powerful motivation and so in some ways you don't want to overturn it you just want to keep it motivating voters, there are a host of other issues that a conservative court would bring you. they could rule on affirmative action, on campaign finance laws, issues with corporations, on unions. all the things we've seen this week so it is a wish list that is payday. >> and the white house strategy, it test first time the "new york times" has accused the white house of being competent and if president trump were to take that be nice to other people h

liberals wanted ruth bader ginsburg to retire so president obama could appoint someone else so that'srprise but when you look back at the last year and a half, president trump has talked so much about neil gorsuch, it's one of his biggest accomplishments, it's not a surprise he would want a second chance at that. >> and one thing trump has despite his sort of known life-style whatever you want to make of it, it would not side him with the reverends of this world, the religious right. but on abortion right, life issues, i think it had a lot to do with him winning pennsylvania. i think he's playing this hard. >> and publishing that list of potential nominees for the supreme court that he did during the campaign sent a clear signal to the christian right, to the evangelical base, that he was going to prioritize the court and trump thinks that that's what helped him lock up the base and win that election and don mcgahn, the white house counsel, has been the hand behind all of that. they've been stacking the federal bench with conservative justices. >> how did they get kennedy to quit? >>

and there's also the question of ruth bader ginsburg. that was something top of mind for candidate trump in 2016. >> we'll have many appointments. could be as many as five. probably will be three. could be four. one of the really big factors in this election. supreme court justice is so important. this could be a presidency that chooses the most supreme court judges in history. could happen. >> wait until you see what she does to the united states supreme court, but we're not going to give her that chance. >> and we're going to appoint justices to the united states supreme court who will uphold and defend the constitution of the united states. >> all right. several issues in your life and your family's life could be influenced by the selection of a new supreme court judge. in 1992 anthony kennedy's vote saved roe v. wade. the decision that legalized abortion in the united states. a more conservative justice could open this up to further litigation if anti-abortion groups think they have a better chance. it's something the president did h

ruth bader ginsburg, oldest at 85. anthony kennedy, 81 anthony breyer, 79.d left-leaning, people with a lot of the more liberal and progressive folks out there, very, very nervous. how consequential could it be, then if there was another conservative justice who makes it to the high court? you know, the president still has two and a half years left on his term. >> i've followed this well over a decade. one thing that fascinating me the modern trend of presidents trying to appoint the youngest possible judge that can squeak by nomination, who's still done enough in his or her career to be 2340notable but not controversial. nothing too exciting. maybe on a court didn't hear a lot of dramatic cases. each president, democratic and republican, have succeeded. starting with justice roberts who was quite young when appointed chief justice, and the effective appointing a young justice, it's so significant. almost a shame. there are probably so many very capable circuit court judges who might be older and maybe being subtly discriminated against, because who wants to

on the supreme court right now, it is justice anthony kennedy on the conservative side and ruth bader ginsburg on the liberal side who get mentioned most about the idea of stepping down from the high court. so it wasn't that big of a surprise. i think that some people are expecting this would have perhaps come out a little bit earlier leading up to the announcement that we saw yesterday, which obviously, helped the president. the latest 5-4 decision announced by chief justice roberts. but what we see right now is an opportunity for the president to move the court more solidly in the conservative column. melissa: yeah, and mitch mcconnell made the argument last time around, they weren't going to bring up a vote on merrick garland, they wanted to let the voters decide. here's pretty much the same situation. they're obviously going to move it through quickly, from all indications. how much heat does he face for that or is that politics, it's expected. so there you go. >> it is expected, and we are hearing from democrats who say that mitch mcconnell, the majority leader ought to hold off in terms

to put another justice as well, and alan dershowitz just told us he wouldn't be surprised if ruth bader ginsburghrows in the towel at some point soon in the future as well. anyway, if he has the opportunity to appoint two justices, that will certainly mean a lot for his legacy and possibly change the direction we're in as a country. one can anticipate this will be a big issue as we go into midterms. here's the president. >> you know i'm talking about justice kennedy will be retiring. and he's a man that i've known for a long time, and a man that i've respected for a long time. he's been a great justice of the supreme court. he is a man displaying great vision. displayed tremendous vision and tremendous heart, and he will be missed, but he will be retiring, and we will begin our search for a new justice of the united states supreme court. that will begin immediately and hopefully we're going to pick somebody who will be as outstanding. so i just want to thank justice kennedy for the years of tremendous service. he's a very spectacular man. really a spectacular man. and i know that he will be arou
