supreme court justices, who had great friendships with antonin scalia up just like with bader ginsburg at -- ruthator bait -- ruth bader ginsburg had, it influenced the way judges worked and courts worked, in every way of american life. that alone makes scalia one of the most important americans of the last 100 years. >> two sides of the same coin. >> you can dance in the head of a pin with this. there are many views on this. my view on this is that where the constitution and its divisions were concerned, and ditto for statute passed a year ago, 10 years ago, 50 years ago, scalia's approach was the same. he wanted to know what the original meeting was. what was it understood to mean at the time, that is the original meeting -- meeting. the first resort is the text. i say that textualism is what he used. >> he was introduced to maureen mccarthy, and proposed 90 days after they met. >> they had not spent a whole lot of time together because he was coming for finals as a harvard law students -- student. maureen is a central character in this book, scalia: rise to greatness. the former secretary of l

we know that justice ruth bader ginsburg had actually taken a trip to jordan for a two, that was also, what do you think is the precedent that is being set with respect to the supreme court, and how it handles these ethical dilemmas? >> well, right now, the court is setting a precedent that essentially says we don't handle these dilemmas. we simply ignore them. when congress probes us, we fight back. the chief justice sent a letter to the senate saying i will not testify this operation of powers give me the right to essentially blow you off. i think there is a serious problem here that does apply to justices of both ideologies but has historically been much more of a problem on the right flank of the court. you know, you mentioned judge ruth bader ginsburg troops, including to israel and jordan, we can questioned the propriety of those. but she did disclose them. and i think it's important to remember that this is really fundamentally about an existing federal statute that says justices must disclose certain gifts, and things like private flights do not fall under an exemption. and so

moment where anna nicole smith, you know, the buxom "playboy" pinup girl, winds up in front of ruth bader ginsburg> ruth bader ginsburg writes the opinion and the supreme court decides that anna nicole smith can pursue her claims in the lower courts. >> reporter: there was no end to her court battles. she was in litigation continuously for 11 years. >> it was affecting her tremendously, ruining her mental health and her physical health. >> do you remember going up this street when you were a baby, when you were little? here's our old house. that was our family room window right there. that was my bedroom. they changed the gate. >> and i remember we were laying the bed, and she took my hand, and she put it over on her stomach. she had this big glowing smile on. she brings out the pregnancy test and she shows me that she's pregnant. >> i was being a little bit vocal about medications she was taking and making sure that everything was done right. >> she actually told me that she was pregnant and that larry was the father. i don't know how it got to where it got. >> she was told that he was only after

and she remains a great friend and mentor and recommend her book that came out last fall with ruth bader ginsburg >> we got one over here. >> it comes naturally to, me. >> it's about me so i am -- i love talking to strangers and now you inspired me. >> on an airplane he can't walk away.hi [laughter] >> we got one over here and then decide. >> i listen to npr a lot until i can't anymore. [laughter] the world is so dark and there are so manyy dark stories. from your perspective, doesn't this depressgi you? can you give any message of hope that there is any way we can get out of this mess? >> number one, all things considered in the last year we made anff effort to in every haf hour include humanity, hope, joy, life is so much more than the worst things that happen in the world so hopefully you have heard a a change as we have been cautious about. there is bill gates way of looking at the world which is more people have clean water, fewer living in poverty than ever before, you are dying in childbirth than ever before so the world is in a better place now than it's ever been for all human existence

then go back to full city jones as well who played ruth bader ginsburg a few years ago.rds season. these imminent releases out next week. maestro out at the end of the year. both are expected to figure in awards season. the controversy and debate and discussion around their casting which i think is very welcome and needs to be discussed would probably run all the way through to awards season. i certainly never want to hear another hollywood actor howling up another hollywood actor howling up an irish accent in a movie. there have been some bad ones. we are in agreement. absolutely. thank you very much forjoining us. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. we're going to have all sorts of weather on friday — from morning thunderstorms across the south of the country, to sunshine in the lake district and scotland. so a real mixed bag on the way. so let's have a look at the big picture. here's the satellite picture — jet stream pushing along this developing area of weather. multiple areas of low pressure and multiple weather fronts heading our way. and yes, there'll be some s

you had the kavanaugh conversation, ruth bader ginsburg's untimely passing followed by amy coney barrett's confirmation, highly charged confirmation battle that focus the public attention on this issue. in the ensuing years, you had rulings like the overturning of roe v. wade that have really thrown the public for a loop, people who took that for granted that was 50 years old. we were trying to tell people that was on the line and a lot of people didn't believe it until it actually happened. i think you are now seeing that the issues have never been more salient especially among democratic voters. they tell us in polls more than republican voters that this is a voting issue for them in a complete flip from 2016. you also see it in the form of the low approval rating the court has. they have an historically low approval rating and this creates the supreme court as a highly charged political issue. more than it's ever been host: i want to talk about the election and the impact the supreme court decisions can have on the election. break that down a little more for us as far as where you think

i work across the aisle to pass bipartisan legislation to place the supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg o'connor on capital grounds. both of these women were trailblazers long before the ensupreme court opening doors fr women at a time when so many are keeping themm close. it's only fitting we are remarkable lies and legacies honoring them in the heart of our democracy and we shouldn't there.go there wasn't a single room in the u.s. capital named after a woman so i work with my friend former senator in honor of rubber, longest-serving woman senator and thet first woman elected to vote congress. one was a democrat and the other a republican. the room is decorated trailblazing women to strengthen this institution. the first woman and first black woman in thepr house of representatives and simply other women who broke doctors and kamala harris and you name it. and decadeses ago and this is about so much more to changing course and i see the girls visiting with their families and schools by showing them the rope they have. and tonight's event, you deserve it,. >> if you find one thing, it's

yours to that justice kolya got almost every boat in ruth bader ginsburg got almost every boat.pening in respect to the judiciary and how it's being treated. >> i think the way the public is being treated as a reaction to what is happening with the approach of justices in the court. most of the last century the court despite the fact the majority of the nominees were by republican presidents the court was very liberal giving the left and in many cases the media and a lot of the members of congress were giving them what they wanted there was no reason to complain and make the political attacks on the court. that shifted after justice kolya was confirmed with the judge and when suddenly we will confirm everyone the political process they didn't want somebody like bork who is going to be an originalist and pushback in the growth of a legible list in the justices who say were docketed do what do you say is politically advisable we have to look at the text of the constitution that threatened the left and that's why we see them pushing back first in judicial nomination and making that

i mean, the late justice ruth bader ginsburg as far as we know took one of these trips a single time.everyone we talked to said is what she was supposed to do in accordance with the law. this disclosure statute, which ethics experts tell us justice thomas has been violating, you know, does not appear to be something that's been enforced for, you know, decades now. >> and justin, the piece notes that the total value of the undisclosed trips since they've given thomas since 1991, is difficult to measure, but it's likely in the millions. so who? who's paying for all of this, and how are these wealthy people benefitting, if at all? >> yeah, it's a great question. so what we found is that so far we know of four very wealthy in some case billionaire businessmen who are picking up the tab for these vacations and private jet flights. you know, we've written a lot about harlan crow, the dallas real estate billionaire, in this story, you know, the wealthy businessmen include a guy named david sokol who was a top executive at berkshire hathaway, warren buffett's company, the late wayne hizenga w

so the first time any anybody won a sex discriminate was ruth bader ginsburg, 1972. and it was basically it was over the question of can women read contracts as well as men? shouldn't we just presume that men really can read contracts a lot than women? and that was the law in idaho. and she's like, you know, i just don't think that reading a contract is something that's related to you know, your reproductive equipment. so so there was that thing that the anti-feminist in every generation and i look at the revolutionary generation and the women there who had by that time accepted the the idea that women should be able to read. but please don't give us more than that. and then the next generation said, well, women should be able to go to school. that's catharine beecher, but please don't give us more than that, because that would just be, you know, terrible women would become men and men would become women. and the world would fall apart. and each generation has something like that. in fact, ida tarbell, who's famously like one of the appointing i'm sorry to bust your
