ruth bader ginsburg had 90 something votes to confirm. you are over this last generation, you have seen the narrowing of the vote and the more partisanship fuel-injected into the process. harry reid going nuclear and mitch mcconnell said the supreme court as well. that ensured that we were in a place. if you don't need 60, you don't need to reach across the aisle if you have a majority. >> and the decision hold back the seat on merrick garland. you can see the results on all of the tension and bitterness from both sides. >> even ruth bader ginsburg complained about the system. she was an aclu lawyer and she said it got out of control. she has not dawk of talked directly on this, but she lamented how these confirmation processes have changed. >> any future senate will go back to that 60 number you need which generates support for more moderate middle of the road candidates as opposed to the 51 that is the requirement right now. up next, a republican senator's reaction to today's vote. mike is standing by and you see him on capitol hill. we

host: in your opinion, what was the standout feature for ruth bader ginsburg testified before the senate? guest: what everybody likes to say is she created this ginsburg give nominees will not forecasts on how they are likely to rule. but i think the standout feature was how much she did say. she talked a lot about roe versus wade. she explained she did think it was rightly decided. she thought the reason he was wrong and she explained why. and she had written about it previously, so she was not saying something new that people on the committee would not have already known about her, but she was willing to explore that. and she was likewise willing to talk about a lot of previously decided cases and indicate whether or not she thought they were rightly or wrongly decided. unfortunately, in recent years, nominees have not been willing to be that candidate. host: if you go to art video library you can see ruth bader ginsburg talking about her thinking on roe versus wade and related issues. go ahead. >> you asked me about my thinking about equal protection versus individual autonomy. and my

. >> what was your -- what about ruth bader ginsburg stood out? >> what everybody says is that she created the ginsburg rule which means that nominees will not give a hint of how they will likely rule. actually, what the standout feature of her testimony is how much she did say. she talk a lot about roe v.waede, and -- wade. she didn't say anything new that people on the committee won't have known about her. but she was wlky to explore -- she was willing to explore that and she talked about whether they were rightly or wrongly decided. in recent years nominees have not been wlky to be that cap-and-trade -- not that willing to be that candid. >> here is ruth bader ginsburg. >> you ask me about my thinking about this individual and my answer to you is it is -- it is both. this is something central to a woman 's woman's life, to her dignity. it is a decision she must make for herself. and when government controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a fully -- less than a full human responsible for her own choices. >> i also apprec

brett kavanaugh will not be going to the opera with ruth bader ginsburg. i doubt that as well. you know. they are very aware of the political differences. you know, they know this will be a different court going forward. justice kennedy was the center of this court in a way that no one? my lifetime has been. the power he exercised was so enormous on abortion, on affirmative action, campaign finance, marriage equality, all the gay right caseses were written by justice kennedy. he's gone, and he has been replaced by someone who was selected by the federalist society, because he disagreed with justice kennedy on all those issues. it's going to be a very different court. >> you will see that quickly? >> it depends. the moment the cases in the pipeline are not super earth-shaking but it never takes long for these cases to come up. the more conseven tiff states, they know who's on the court now. they're going to pass abortion laws that will force the justices to re-evil waaluate ro versus wade. >> he said he believes in precedent not just as a tradition, but rooted in the constitutio

reporter: if there was another vacancy, if ruth bader ginsburg were to relieve the court, would you are the president to put another conservative in that seat? senator mcconnell: of course. reporter: will you try to encourage more female republican women on the judiciary committee after all of this? senator mcconnell: that's a good question. we have encouraged several women senators to go on the committee. i intend to do that. their particular priorities, there has been no effort to avoid it. i've encourage them to do it, obviously without success, and we would love to have worn of one of our wonderful senators on judiciary. hopefully that will be the case next year. thanks a lot. >> shortly after the senate confirmed him, brett kavanaugh and his family traveled to the supreme court building, where he took the constitutional oath from supreme court chief justice john roberts, and the oath which was administered by retired justice anthony kennedy. this photo of the private ceremony is from the collection of the supreme court of the united states. president trump will host the ceremonial

ruth bader ginsburg and stephen breyer. both of them are very interesting justices on the united states supreme court. they're our friends from the carter days. both were well-known liberals. before joining the bench, ginsburg had been the aclu's general counsel. breyer had been ted kennedy's chief counsel. but they were both well respected and had solid reputations on the court of appeals. i knew that and i helped them. so when president clinton called me in 1993 to ask my views on who he should nominate to the supreme court, i suggested ginsburg and breyer because i was sure he was going to pick the most left-wing nutcake that he could find. [ laughter ] they were certainly not the nominees i would have chosen had i been president but as ranking member on the senate judiciary at the time, i thought it was important to work with the white house to dial back the problemses with the confirmation process. and the bitterness that was existing. and the rankor that had been escalating for so long. to his credit, president clinton

reporter: if there was another vacancy, if ruth bader ginsburg were to relieve the court, would you are the president to put another conservative in that seat? senator mcconnell: of course. reporter: you tried to encourage more female republican women on the judiciary committee after all of this? senator mcconnell: that's a good question. we have encouraged several women senators to go on the committee. i intend to do that again ta the -- at the beginning of the next session. there has been no effort to avoid it. i've encourage them to do it, obviously without success, and we would love to have worn of our wonderful centers on -- one of our wonderful senators on judiciary. hopefully, that will be the case next year. thanks a lot. >> this week, "newsmakers" brian walsh. >> one of the things i have is that it will not go down ballot. we are anecdotally and in data, we are seeing it all over the country. it is why you see the president on the stop at these rallies. he's telling people that you have to get out and vote. there will be a blue wave. there will be a red wave. but it -- the red

and ruth bader ginsburg and then to say too far too fast. and it is also based looking what roe v-letter wade a lost. but you can argue that it is responsible for the radicalization of the republican party. and then in the museums. but for roe v-letter wade you never would've had ronald reagan now it's not the straight line but certainly that help to radicalize the party to energize a movement of social conservatives. not a straight line that may have happened but the far better argument to do things in the political system because both sides could fight it out. >> i couldn't say that about graham that when they finally woke up to the fact with enormous society not dealt with by the political branches? and forced us that that did not precipitate a massive backlash? the democratic party lost the south because of brown and enforcing those tactics it doesn't matter that we would be better off segregating the schools and a stock loan - - strong democratic party in the south it is a tactical argument. and to have a considerable amount of time and

why are people making an issue of ruth bader ginsburg in 2016 saying donald trump was a faker and she can imagine what would happen to the country if he got elected. how come she doesn't have to recuse from every trump related. >> exactly. there right. >> this is why the left on these issues, the issue is not the word said by a supreme court justice. it's whether you are a liberal or conservative, and if you're conservative they're coming after you without principle. so, now they want to apply a different standard to bret cavanagh, how dare he say anything political at that hearing, ruth bader ginsburg doesn't mind. i'm sorry, this is hypocrisy, but the deeper problem for the country is the democrats question the legitimacy of the election because donald trump won. now there lessening the legitimacy of a supreme court because bret cavanagh sits on it, they keep changing the rules. >> there also questioning the genesee of the senate. >> and you said, give me a break emma not plausible, not credibl credible, but will it happen. >> yes it will happen, just as the legitimacy of his electi

ruth bader ginsburg and stephen breyer were confirmed with a large bipartisan vote. i think it will be a cooling-off period. the senators have gotten it out of their system. the republicans were saying this can't happen again, this character assassination can't happen again. we will see if there is a democratic president and the appoint someone whom the republicans don't like or change the balance of the court. will they refrain from attacks? kaganave justice elena and sonia sotomayor -- they were not too tough on either of those justices when obama nominated them. they tend to go a little easier. my prediction is we see a cooling-off period. the reason this was such a contentious fight is it was so close to the midterm election following a very divisive presidential election. eventually it would alter the balance of the court -- potentially it would alter the balance of the court. divisivede, the most decision in recent history. it made it a perfect storm. i don't think it will be quite as nasty the next couple of times, but who knows? host: there are no permanent r

justice ruth bader ginsburg and alena kagen and clarence thomas and this is all due to the public informatione court. >> let's talk about the other justices. a lot has been made of how they will react to brett kavanaugh now that he is a confirmed appointed supreme court justice. how do you think the other justices will treat him. will they sort of put this behind them, close ranks or will this be something that they have to kind of confront with every coming case. >> a few things. even before this nomination, this fiery nomination, there were justices on this court who thought this has gone too far, too many politics. they must have been shuttering now, given what's happened with this nomination. but they'll embrace him. as you saw, they were there. and keep in mind, he knows a lot of these justices. when he was working in the white house as a young lawyer, he worked on the confirmation of the chief justice. he was hired by alena kagen when dean of harvard law school to work there and went to the same school as gorsuch. the former clerk of kennedy and then if you think about it, remember, jus

why are people making an issue of ruth bader ginsburg in 2016 saying donald trump was a faker and she can imagine what would happen to the country if he got elected. how come she doesn't have to recuse from every trump related. >> exactly. there right. >> this is why the left on these issues, the issue is not the word said by a supreme court justice. it's whether you are a liberal or conservative, and if you're conservative they're coming after you without principle. so, now they want to apply a different standard to bret cavanagh, how dare he say anything political at that hearing, ruth bader ginsburg doesn't mind. i'm sorry, this is hypocrisy, but the deeper problem for the country is the democrats question the legitimacy of the election because donald trump won. now there lessening the legitimacy of a supreme court because bret cavanagh sits on it, they keep changing the rules. >> there also questioning the genesee of the senate. >> and you said, give me a break emma not plausible, not credibl credible, but will it happen. >> yes it will happen, just as the legitimacy of his electi

he didn't apologize for anything -- >> if you're going to excuse ruth bader ginsburg because she apologized then we have to also -- >> i think ginsburg was wrong. this is all wrong. this is all terrible. it's all politicizing the court. both sides are guilty. >> but can we just go back to this ad for a minute, though? because it really speaks to something bigger, which is this constant desire to portray judge kavanaugh as a victim here. i think that that is what is super offensive to women across america. he is not a victim. he is actually the accused. and importantly, he is the one who decided to go on fox tv and present himself as a choir boy and throughout his high school and college years. he brought this upon himself. so this constant notion that republicans are pushing in these ads and others that there are multiple victims here starting with brett kavanaugh which he then reiterated again in his op-ed i think ends up being the thing that most angers women. >> stick around, everyone. we have much more to talk about. i want to talk about what happens when a republican senator tells prot

. >> dana: while i was away, ruth bader ginsburg gave an interview in which she was very harsh against. trump. i wonder if the republicans should start impeachment hearings about ruth bader ginsburg because she couldn't possibly be an impartial judge when it comes to the business of the united states in front of the supreme court. that is the same argument. >> juan: i believe she apologize. >> dana: oh, oh, that's all it takes. >> greg: as collusion evaporates like a fever dream, they are into creating a new one and is it good for the country? it doesn't matter. what's good for the country, that's never matter to the left. the democrats, it's great. i don't know if i should divulge this because i don't want them to realize how stupid they are but there are two options here. they only help the republicans. if they get kavanaugh, they might get a blue wave. you might get a blue wave but you have kavanaugh. if you lose kavanaugh, you get a massive red wave and a more conservative female george to boot afterward. it's a win-win for republicans. that's why i'm not that sad. >> juan: someone

. >> we're looking at ruth bader ginsburg there, the justice of the supreme court. john roberts, of course, there and a couple of other justices. they're all coming in now to join in the celebration. they look very happy, gene. >> yeah. they do look happy. >> clarence is wall-to-wall happiness. >> everyone should pay attention to this. this is what power looks like. this is what power looks like. republicans have the power to do this and they did it. they didn't care -- >> not that you're -- you are on the progressive side, i think, i'm just wondering how democrats -- this is what losing looks like to them? just chuckling here. >> this is a terrible moment i think for the country. whatever you think of brett kavanaugh, a majority of the country still opposes him, and i think just -- >> in the polling. >> just to respond to what robert said, you know, i think the challenge for the republicans is that they'd like to call those women on the mall and the supreme court the mob. >> here comes the president. >> they may well be the majority of the country. >> there is the

ruth bader ginsburg for instance called our president a fake.was an exact quote from her, a sitting justice. we see former justice zeempbs come out and get extremely partisan. >> and brett kavanaugh apologized to senator klobuchar for the comments he made at the hearing and he has further explained. >> he didn't apologize. >> yes, he did in the hearing. yes, he did. >> i'm not talking about that. >> he said i'm sorry. >> he did not apologize for anything that he wrote in this op-ed. he just said he gave reasons for why he was emotional. there was no apology that said i'm sorry for saying these things. >> there was an apology at the time which is even better. >> he only apologized for calling senator klobuchar accusing her of drinking. he didn't apologize for his hyper partisanship. >> if you're going to excuse ruth bader ginsburg because she apologized. >> this is all terrible, all politicizing the court. both sidesized are guilty. >> can we go back to the ad. it will speaks to something bigger which is this constant desire to portray judge kava

justices elaina kagan and ruth bader ginsburg joining samuel alito and clarence thomas for the ceremony. deep divisions remain. republican senator susan collins, whose vote proved decisive, told "60 minutes" that she now has a security detail because of threats she's received. and while she believes christine blasey ford is a victim of sexual assault, she says she's also not convinced kavanaugh was not her attacker. >> she was clearly terrified, traumatized, and i believed that a sexual assault had happened to her. what i think she is mistaken about is who the perpetrator was. i do not believe her assailant was brett kavanaugh. >> reporter: north dakota democrat heidi heitkamp, representing a state where president trump is popular, is poised to pay a political price for voting no, but she says it was a matter of conscience. >> do i have work that i want to continue to do? absolutely. do i want to compromise my principles and my conscience for that job? no. and do i want to compromise the supreme court for that job? no. >> reporter: president trump predicts the confirmation battle will h

nominations, and those wald, abner, harry edwards, and ruth bader jimmyrg, so we can thank wald, carter for both stephen breyer and ruth bader ginsburg. they are highly respected jurists. i care for each one of them, even though they do rule the wrong way sometimes, maybe, maybe quite a bit more than i care for. the time between nomination and confirmation for all four of president carter's nominees was 2-3 months. breyeronger than stephen had to wait, but not all that much longer in the grand scheme of things. what about the confirmation votes? as best i can tell, judge edwards and judge ginsburg were confirmed by voice vote or you and i miss consents. -- or unanimous consent. richard -- majority of republicans supporting the nominee. her nomination. -- the other one had 18-31. after president carter came president reagan, and for a while confirmations continued as before. there were some votes here or there, but mainly nominees were confirmed easily. and quickly, and with wide support. let's start with sandra day o'connor, nominated by president reagan to the supreme court in 1981. she received some criticism from pro-life groups w

for example, the late justice scalia, justice ruth bader ginsburg, no relation to our speaker today. justice thomas, and chief justice roberts. the first justice to be nominated by president trump, neil gorsuch, was a student of doug ginsburg. he graduated from the latin school in chicago in 1963 and attended cornell university for 2 years. he told me he was studying classics and english -- in english and was heading in the direction of a phd and a career in education. he realized he did not want to be a professor. he left cornell and together with two friends from harvard, these three young men way back then, founded the first computer dating service called operation match. it was very successful. after a few years he decided he wanted it to -- a career in law. he returned to cornell, got his bs and then the university law school and then graduated in 1973. at only 29 years of age, 29, having been howard -- hired right after graduation and clerking in the courts, he clerked also for justice thurgood marshall, he was hired by harvard law school. judge ginsburg was tapped to serve in t

>> well, i thought -- what ruth bader ginsburg said during the campaign was entirely inappropriate and>> yeah. >> and she was -- it was a terrible mistake on her part. but what judge kavanaugh is doing -- i'm remembering it's not just campaign contributions. it's redistricting, which is a huge subject before the supreme court, voting rights, you know, democrats and republicans have entirely different views about these issues, and they all file briefs in these cases. you know, what are they -- will a democrat get a fair shake from this judge? >> we're getting another story that's just posted in "the new york times" about a letter that brett kavanaugh wrote back in 1983 offering some advice for high school students about a beach front property in that some of the classmates were looking for in ocean city, maryland, and the letter, which was reviewed by "the new york times," the young judge kavanaugh warned his friends of the danger of eviction from this ocean city, maryland, condo in a neatly written postscript, he wrote this, "whoever arrived first at the condo should warn the neighbors

if it is, get ruth bader ginsburg some curly fries right away! right away! cheers and applause ) i will say it's kind of a dick move from chick-fil-a here. they're giving him lifetime free food at 100? let's be honest, there's an understanding he's going to leave soon, right? i hope he lives another 30 years, and then chick-fil-a managers are, like, okay, we're cutting you off. you should be dead by now. get back in your car. what do you mean you ran here! who are you?! let's move on to our top story. ( applause ) for weeks, now, brett kavanaugh's nomination to the supreme court has torn america apart. 45% of the country believes dr. ford, his accuser. 33% believes kavanaugh, and the remaining 22% believes the supreme court is a nacho order at taco bell. ( laughter ) i'll be honest, today has been a very emotional day for people. in d.c. protesters spent the day rallying at the capitol and confronting senators about confronting kavanaugh. and time seems to be running out because the f.b.i. finished its investigation into the claims against kavanaugh, and the

ruth bader ginsburg is 85. the democrats, no matter who they aregainst, donald trump will make that and kavanaugh an issue. jane: we have the midterms coming up. how do you think this will affect the voting? david: right now i think it oth sides. if the republicans did not get kavanaugh through, the base gets upset and they stay home. when no republicans are behind the eight ball this year. democrats have an enthusiasm advantage. ldall the pollsters e that getting kavanaugh through gets republicans energized. you saw it today on capitolot hill, the ts energized by the left now, upset more than upset -- that does not even really properly categorize it for some they will be mobilized to vote against republicans who supported kavanaugh. we have a lot of time, five weeks until the election, and a lot can transpire in that time. i wouldn't say that this is going to be the ultimate decision-maker for voters becausa lot can happen in that amount of time. jane: david catanese, thanks very much indeed f joining me. davi

his volt will not be in flay ruth bader ginsburg the way anthony kennedy had been.ut i think he's so invested in this court appearing neutral that you might see him inch a little to the left just to have a little bit more consensus on what is a deeply, deeply divided bench. >> always appreciate fwlour site. . >> president trump has stayed silent so far about the pending confirmation of brett kavanaugh. but what will he say to his supporters in kansas now that his supreme court justice is hours away from confirmation. does she regret coming forward? her lawyers are speaking with cnn. what does it take to make digital transformation actually happen? it takes dell technologies, a family of seven technology leaders working behind the scenes to make the impossible... reality. we're helping to give cars the power to read your mind from anywhere... and we're helping up to 40% of the nation's donated blood supply to be redirected to the people that need it most. magic can't make digital transformation happen... but we can. with tripadvisor, finding your perfect hotel at the

whether you talk clarence thomas or read bader ginsburg, they would also say -- or ruth bader ginsburgey would say even though i have political ideas that i do not generally express, when i am making a decision, i am basing it on the law as i understand the law to be. they are not grounding their opinions in i am voting this way . they are writing an opinion because they think the voting rights act does or does not cover something or the constitution allows or prevents something or another. that is an important distinction that i imagine they are word is getting lost -- worried is getting lost. are they vocal compared to previous courts you have covered? guest: we have had a few cases -- justice ginsburg infamously called donald trump a "faker," among other things, and then apologized to getting involved in that. in part because the dynamic is what it is in the country as a whole, it is a little harder for them to bite their tongue. yet seen justice thomas go up to the edge on some of his public comments on the other side. it is a tough environment, not to say what you think about poli

so can you imagine if ruth bader ginsburg is suddenly open, and what will they do then? bill marr as saying that the president doesn't have a right to appoint anyone else. >> i think by nominating kavanaugh first, he said if you were with bush, you went to the right schools and you could be caricatured as a preppy. just think what they will do to the next that is in further to the right? and when she is nominated, he can just say look. it's not her, not anybody. and it's 90% of that small rubric, and i will take donald trump in the republican. >> >> laura: i will never get tired, i'm going to take the humor out of it. thank you so much, great segment as always. trump indicated he has no plans to fire him. devon nunez well react to that. we will hear what he has to say. >> president trump: thank you as well to our deputy attorney general rod rosenstein for being here. flew down together. press wants to know, why didn't you talk about it? we had a very good talker, i will say. it became a very big story actually, folks. we had a good talk. >> laura: boy did that keep peopl

[laughter] >> oh, right. right. by the way, with justice ginsburg i was smart enough not to just ask her to fix up by article, but i just threw it all out and interviewed her and let her make the statement. [laughter] so that was similar to what i used to do on the science show. i guess i helped learn it thanks to you and lettie from that experience. what did you spring up -- oh, oh, test toes the roan poisoning. -- testosterone poisoning. i had an idea to write a piece that you were kind enough to print called the 12 warning signs of testosterone poisoning. [laughter] and it was kind of article read in reader's digest about how you can tell if you're net getting this -- if you're getting this terrible disease. [laughter] and at the end of the article, you know, i mentioned that everybody, men and women both, have testosterone, but

who is going to fill -- i hate to say it -- potentially if ruth bader ginsburg leaves the court or clarencemas leaves, the senate control is going to determine that. >> it's interesting to see, too, not only obviously what happens come november, but whether it's about, you know, somebody was talking about over the weekend about trading the majority and getting that supreme court pick, which ultimately is a bigger win for conservatives. >> this is all going to play out, but i think two points, one is the angry mob in reality were women coming forward and sharing instances of being sexually assaulted. it's hard enough to come forward with those stories, and then to be labeled as an angry mob by a president who couldn't bring himself to label neo-nazis in charlottesville as an angry mob, and he found good people on both sides, and a lot of people will focus on susan collins. here was a chance for one of the most powerful women in the country, she set herself up to be the single most powerful person in this country by saying i will tell you at 3:00, and she came out and stood up there as a woma

over a televised white house ceremony in the east room as his nominee, that's right justice ruth bader ginsburg took the constitutional oath of office. golly, i don't remember her saying anything about her husband's swearing-in ceremony. do you? president trump was quick to denounce hillary's comments while answering questions at the white house. >> i guess that's why she lost. she doesn't get it. she never did. i knew that a long time ago. hillary never got it, that's why she lost. lou: well, very succinct and right on point. more than a thousand people, including illegal immigrants may have been incorrectly registered to vote, incorrectly in the great state of california. the state's department of motor vehicles revealing it registered 1500 noneligible people to vote between april and september despite assuring the california public for years that it has safeguards in place to absolutely prevent that from ever, ever happening. this on the heels of a recent study from m.i.t. and yale showing that there are at least double the number of illegal immigrants in this country than generally reported

>> if there was another vacancy, if ruth bader ginsburg were to leave the court, would you -- >> sen. mcconnell: of course. >> will you try to encourage more of the female republican women to join the judiciary committee? >> sen. mcconnell: that's a good question. we've encouraged our women senators to go on the committee, and i intended to do that again at the beginning of the next session. their particular priorities have not -- there's been no effort to avoid it. i've tried to encourage them to do it. obviously without success and we'd love to have one of women senators on judiciary, hopefully that will be the case next year. thanks a lot. >> that was the majority leader from earlier today after all of the republicans except for two voted for judge brett kavanaugh the two that didn't vote for him, one was senator lisa murkowski of alaska who who opposed the nomination voted president, and then steve danes who was in montana for his daughters wedding. this is what senator steve daines tweeted out earlier today. does this count? >> mr. deigns, aye, mr. deigns, aye, mr. donnelly. >> s

at this closed-door swearing-in we saw the chief and kennedy, but also justice ruth bader ginsburg, just thomas, kayent and just alito. the others who weren't there were on travel. they came in to be the first to be a part of the ceremony. that tells you a lot about the court and what the court will try to do. it tells you no you that kavanaugh is a justice, he will try to get back to the judge who has written 300 opinions and distance himself away from the other side. >> it sounds like they were sort of bringing out their arms to say you are one of us, and despite the division happening outside, they're saying we are in and out united supreme court. >> it also means maybe there's no better way of a chance to get a vote than to be welcoming. >> they have to work together. >> they know there may be issues where they could make a 4-4, 6-4, you know, 7-2 if they don't -- if he welcome him and in a sense they say can we play ball on some issues? >> i got to hit a quick paw. we're going to continue our conversation. sotomayor also referenced neil gorsuch and something they've been working on

it was quite bipartisan, it's come a long way. >> and 20 years ago, ruth bader ginsburg, 96 votes.huck grassley is on deck. it's coming up right now. rgy! whoo-hoo! great-tasting ensure. with nine grams of protein and twenty-six vitamins and minerals. ensure. now up to 30 grams of protein for strength and energy! . . today, 97% of employers agree that skills like teamwork, attention to detail, and customer service are critical to business success. like the ones we teach here, every day. and customer service are critical to business success. mechanic: midas has all the top king: yes! indeed.ires. take these michelin tires for example... king: or these goodyear tires over here! now at midas, get up to $200 off select goodyear and cooper tires with the midas credit card. request your appointment today. i feel happiest when i'm out enjoying my favorite things, like spending time in my garden. that's why i need a humana medicare advantage plan. many humana medicare advantage plans cover everything - from emergency care and hospitals stays, to doctor office visits, and prescription drug

and if -- if he's on the court for -- as long as -- old as ruth bader ginsburg is now, that's 2050. we have to think about this titanic shift. that's what started this up. anthony kennedy, so important on those hot-button issues, abortion, lgbt rights, affirmative action. that is all going to make this court take a hard right turn. and she talked about the process now of the court, and almost -- not only a rehabilitation -- the beginning of a rehabilitation for him, but for the court. she said this process has reached rock bottom. it's dysfunctional. it's gotten to a gutter level political campaign. that was real anger about the process. >> mark, i wonder what you think about what david said. because he hit the nail on the head about this being -- i don't think people out there who aren't part of the conservative movement, who have been working for this, as you said, for a generation, understand the win here. with justice -- soon to be, it seems, justice kavanaugh. >> you're both saying it's not just two supreme court nominations. there are more circuit judges confirmed in the first

if you're looking at the supreme court with cipollone you can look at ruth bader ginsburg placed by amyoney barrett who is another trump believer and catholic. >> what didn't get attention this week is the questions that the trump legal team are preparing the answers to the questions from the mueller investigation. does the cipollone choice from what you know about him make that sit-down the president is willing to have with the investigators more or less likely? >> so i want to go back to the mcgahn issue. say the president doesn't trust mcgahn and flat out laughable given the scope of the issues that he's had to deal with, deregulation, the judges and all of the issues that have come up. whenever there was an issue that the president needed mcgann carried the ball across the finish line on it. moving back to your question about the written questions. i don't think it impacts the strategy at all. he has been advising president all along as outside informal adviser it appears and again is close with emmitt flood. i don't think there will be much change in strategy as it relates to those

and ruth bader ginsburg, one of our liberals, is 85. steve briar, another, is 80., it could be before the trump presidency is finished that you have a 7-2 conservative majority on the court. a lot of it has to do with how long people live and what the midterms are going to tell us. >> the midterms will be certainly crucial for the next several years, even the next several decades. we'll see what happens there. steven erhlinger live for us in brussels, belgium. thank you. >> thanks. >> america's top dim low diplomat has arrived in china. what to expect from mike pompeo's trip to beijing ahead. it was love at first slice pizza lovers everywhere meet o, that's good! frozen pizza one third of our classic crust is made with cauliflower but that's not stopping anyone o, that's good! ignition sequence starts. 10... 9... guidance is internal. 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... ♪ is it possible to save from thousands of miles away? yes. thanks to the dedicated technicians at the american red cross... who worked with vmware... to develop technologies to help redirect the flow of

secretary, very mainstream person and judge it, if he is subjected to this, can you imagine if ruth bader ginsburg's seat is suddenly open, or she retires, -- she says she won't, but what will they do then? bill morris says the president doesn't have the right to appoint anyone else basically. >> by nava nominating kavanaugh first, he demonstrated that if you are a bush person, he went to the right schools, you could be characterized as a preppy. think what they will do to the next units to the right. he can just say look. it's not her, it's not anybody. it's just us. 98% of that small rubric of 10% now say, you know what, i don't have any choice. it's eitherbr scratching on the supreme court door, or, i never will get tired. of watching the video. there is something that is so poetic about that.ti but i'm sorry, i'm just going to take the humor out of it. president trump indicated, and i can't wait to hear what he would have to say. - [narrator] do you have less energy than you used to? - when i was young, into my teens and when i went into college and played college tennis, i could play all day lo

she would be also nudging ruth bader ginsburg into early retirement so she could do another.. >> matt, i'm really short. go on. >> look, just a week ago people on the left were accusing the republican nominee to the supreme court of being at a gang rape and now hillary clinton's saying we've got to fight tougher? like democrats have to take off the gloves now and we can't be civil? this is the problem. it's a race to the bottom. somebody has to stand up. i wish the democrats had said we're going to be the civil party, we're going to be the party that's not like trump. >> okay. listen, i just -- >> we will. >> i want to read this. this is from september of 2009. the reason that it's so horrifying to me and many people, the comparison being made between protesters, the tea party, and even neo-nazis on this show earlier. washington, cnn. the conservative advocacy group tea party express massed at a u.s. capital on saturday to protest health care reform, higher taxes and what they see as out-of-control government spending. marchers en route to the rally held no feelings in check

remember, ruth bader ginsburg made some very harsh comments about president trump, saying she might movee country if he got elected that kind of thing. she later apologized. there were some suggestions that maybe she'd have to recuse from cases about the trump administration. so i think those questions would hang over judge kavanaugh. but whether he would actually recuse on political grounds if he's confirmed, i doubt it. >> that would be up to him, it's not up to somebody else in. >> correct. >> all right. nicholas there are several issues. about a week ago there were people concerned about the abruptness of judge kavanaugh. but now there are lots of people who don't think it has solved anything. a week ago, or last friday, we were talking about how jeff flake may have paused the fact that there was going to be a cloud over the senate judiciary committee and ultimately over the supreme court. an institution that so many americans are hoping to rely on in politically turbulent times. now we go forward with this nomination. does this have a -- does this put a cloud over the supreme court?

confirmation fight, the justices made a show of solidarity, with two liberals, elena kagan and ruth bader ginsburge y'attending y saturday. >> now your accuweather forecast with spencer christian. >> okay. sunny skies right now, and clear skies overnight with just a patch or two of coastal fog. overnight lows, going to be in the mid 50s. tomorrow, another warmer than average day, but a little cooler than today. highs in the low to mid 60s on the coast. mainly mid 70s around the showline. and low 80s tomorrow. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. further cooling on wednesday. on thursday, we'll see temperatures bounce back a couple of degrees and another warming trend develops at the end of the week, taking us to the end of the weekend. highs back in the mid 80s inland. 60s on the coast. krissen? >> spencer, thank you. >>> our coverage of the north bay wildfires continues one year later. dan? >> kristen, thank you very much. live from santa rosa once again, the fountain grove community so devastated by the fires. as we continue, a look at post traumatic stress. the road to recovery involves h

i think you'll know that his closest friend on the supreme court is a liberal, ruth bader ginsburg. they met in the 70's, both came from the east coast, both servedc types, both together on the washington dc court, the federal appellate used to passey each other's opinions back-and-forth for grammar correction, the kinds of things you would do in academia. when i asked him about this relationship, which to some people could seem strange, he's such a conservative and she is such a feminist and so liberal. out as started academics. we both take things very seriously. during her confirmation hearings, i remember hearing, what is with you and scalia? and i said, he was the only one that could make me laugh. i thought that was funny. she was quite helpful in this , i love nino, but i could strangle him. she says that his approach is so far to the right that it will not endure. isht now, i said i think he prevailing in he has attained the apex of his legal career, in part because of having the votes of john roberts and the second newest justice, alito, both appointees of george w. bush, g

he's too political but i don't remember conservatives calling for the impeachment of justice ruth bader ginsburg over this. >> i can imagine what this place would be, i can imagine what the country would be with donald trump is our president. said the justice come out for the country it could be four years. for the court it could be, i don't even want to contemplate that. now it's time for us to move to new zealand. and it's not that supposed authoritarian, that great undermining of democratic norms donald trump calling for packing of the court, it's the democrats. yes we are in polarized times, but no it is not both sides. conservative academic, however much they disagree with liberals simply don't talk like this left-wing professor at georgetown university. look at this course of entitled white men justifying it serial rapist entitlement. all of them deserve miserable depths while feminist laugh as they take their last gasp. bonus. we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine. by the way, that's not even remarkable anymore. remember, kathy griffin, remember snoop dogg, and now, a new low a
