maryland, he is taking a constitutional law course and he is reading these dueling opinions, scalia and ginsburg and he says to himself, this this could make a very funny opera and i'll give you just ado taste of of the opening pieces. so starts off with scalia's rage which goes like this. the justices are blind, how can they possibly support this, the constitution said, absolutely nothing about this and then i explained to him that he's searching for bright line answet solution but the great thing about our constitution is that like our society it can evolve. so that is the set up and that is roughly based on the magic flute, justice kolea is locked up in a dark room, he's he's being punished for excessive dissenting. [laughter] and that they come to help them out i enter that scene through the ceiling and then as in the magic flute i join him for the last trial and we sing a duet, we are different, we are one, different in our approach to the interpretation but one in our fondness for each other, our reverence to the constitution and the institution we serve. >> and that friendship and relatio

so with a constitutional law course with these two legal opinions from scalia and ginsburg and said they are very funny it is not proper: i will give you just a taste of the opening piece . so with starts off in that the justices are blind house candidate constantly spout the constitution and says absolutely nothing but then i explain there's an easy answers because like ours society and then to be locked up in a darkroom. [laughter] and then as in the magic flute then we sing a duet we are different with our approach of thee interpretation in with the fondness of each other with the constitution and the constitution that we serve and civic and the friendship than the relationship maybe we can all learn from that glaxo's relationships that have different perspectives and justice scalia said you made his opinions better? that you point out those older abilities or weaknesses or try to make what he said your participation? because this was when you were together on the d.c. circuit. and then wanted to run the microphone. >> i was the beneficiary of that relationship more than he was wary w

there's only one vacancy at this point and it's justice scalia's seat, so would probably be a conservative for conservative. 80-year-old ruth ginsburg, and 80-year-old steven briar. >> and very quickly on the attorney general, what are your thoughts? >> i think it's going to be rudy giuliani, and i think he's going to prosecute hillary clinton. >> not so sure. >> everybody is saying oh, he's going to be nice -- >> i'm not so sure it's going to be giuliani. >> do you think it's senator sessions he would do the same thing? >> absolutely. what were they chanting at donald trump's rallies? >> lock her up. >> all right. we'll see. everyone thank you very much. we'll be right back. more news ahead. ♪ is it a force of nature? or a sales event? the season of audi sales event is here. audi will cover your first month's lease payment on select models during the season of audi sales event.

most lawyers in this country and nearly every judge knows that justice scalia attended one offer after another with justice ginsburg and taught justice kagan how to hunt. speaking strictly for myself, by the way, i'm not sure which was the greater example of good faith we geology. during 35 years worth of long, difficult to follow opera's, or teachings of potential avid teri hatcher use a gun. [laughter] i said some nice things about justice scalia and i can add a few more. he wrote like jackson and holmes, saw the long-term stakes like to justice marshall. but all of these talents would have been worthless, truth be told, potentially dangerous, if that is all there was to the justice. the indispensable thing to stay about justice scalia is that he passed the bedrock test of judicial character. he respected the line between law and personal opinion. that was never going to be an easy road traveled and not just because the justice had a few ideas about how the world should work. surely, someone as smart as justice scalia you have helpful it would have been to his legacy to bend his views now and then to accommodate

scalia. during his term, trump may get to shape the high court for decades to come. justice ruth bader ginsburgthony kennedy is 80. justice steven breyer, 78. trump released a list of possible jusises to fill the seat -- justices to fill the seat during his campaign saying the list is definitive and will choose only from it in picking future justices of the supreme court. our supreme court reporter is back with me. is there an even shorter list that is circulating now, especially among republicans? i mean, what names would you be looking at most closely now? >> it's worth noting that no other president-elect has ever put out such a list. frankly, it was done to soothe the conservatives. a short list has, merge emerged william pryor, 54. he's called roe v. wade an abomination. diane sykes, 58. she's on the seventh circuit. a dark horse candidate is joan larsen. she serves on the michigan supreme court, not an appellate court. she hasn't been on the bench that long. but the conservatives have a lot of faith in her. and she's a former scalia clerk. and then finally there's senator mike lee. he's 4

include the man of whom this convention is honoring justice scalia, chief justice roberts, vice president chaney, ray randolph, douglas ginsburg, john allison, and senator tom cotton. that brings us to today's lecture. this is my honor to introduce senator ben sass. after earning a history ph.d. at yale, he worked for mckenzie and company and private equity terms before becoming the president of the midland kbrufrt which he pulled out of some very difficult financial straits. then the fifth generation ran for rt senate. he also since he's been elected, senator, he has not only done a couple things that i mentioned quickly. he's also moonlighted. and my understanding is that he has a five star rating. [ laughter ] [ applause ] but in addition to his bio and uber driving, i would add that senator pass is despite his youth exemplifies as few in the senate do the idea our founders had for the senate. some wise heads who would be focussed on the good of the country. and who would look toward the ways in which our republic needed to meet the everadjusting challenges of governing a free people. i think the senator may have a little b

for abortion and replacing justice scalia when president trump will announce shortly will not affect the overall balance. the question is who leaves next? ruth ginsburgre, obviously reconsidering at this point. >> i don't think she wanted to retire. liberals angry for not leaving when president obama had a democratic majority in the senate. same with stephen br'eier. and anthony kennedy, those three of the five justices in the pro-choice majority in the supreme court of all elderly. >> so when you think of the issues that -- we've talked about abortion. talked about same-sex marriage. what other issues do you think could come before the court, or the clock is really ticking on them? >> i think there will be a lot of issues related to immigration. you know? obviously there will be a big increase in deportation. maybe not all 11 million. maybe 3 million, but a lot of those cases are going to confined up before the courts. what are -- what's the resolution that? you know, church and state issues. you know, whether you as a religious person can excuse yourself from government organizati organizations, came up in the hobby lobby case. certainly more oppor

replacing justice scalia with another conservative won't change the makeup of the court, but there could be other vacancies coming. ruth bader ginsburgs 83. she turns 84 in march, though she will likely remain in a trump administration as long as her health permits. but anthony kennedy, a reagan appointee who has voted with the liberals on gay rights and abortion, is 80. and stephen breyer, appointed by bill clinton, is 78. in either of them were to be replaced by donald trump, the court would be more conservative and might revisit recent rulings against restricting access to abortion and favoring gay rights. >> with each of those, we have relatively recent decisions. so the court would have to reverse its earlier rulings, but if they had the votes to do that, i'm not sure they wouldn't. >> reporter: trump has said he thinks the core abortion rights ruling roe v. wade should be overturned, but he might need two more appointees beyond filling scalia's vacancy to have a chance at that. still, abortion rightings advocates are worried about more restrictions. >> while women might technically have the right under the constitution to choos

scalia joined by justice kennedy. kennedy has long had a very broad view, broader than anybody on the court, of first amendment protections generally. and ginsburg, stephens at the time and souter. and the dissnts was justice breyer from the left and justice roberts, scalia from the right. we also have from the court the decision in laurela tobacco. most relevant, it struck down a ban on billboard advertising of tobacco. that basically made it impossible to advertise tobacco in virtually any area in this particular jurisdiction -- or -- let's say a wide range of areas. the rationale was, you put to a billboard as opposed to the pages of some adult magazine. some magazine aimed at adults and lots of kids can see it. say, well, yeah, maybe lots of kids can see it but lots of adults can see it. you can't restrict the speech available to adults, at least in any very broad way, simply to shield children. that's a principle the c.a.r.ou developed before. it applied it to commercial advertising. that's an important point because a lot of the kinds of advertise -- restrictions in advertising to children that i've sign, whether it has to do with food or

the election of donald trump means justice antonin scalia's seat which will almost certainly be filled by a conservative nominee. ruth bader ginsburg83, stephen breyer is 78. joins us is carey severino with judicial crisis network. thank you for joining us. i appreciate it. i want to dig into your opinion. we have an updated list of almost two dozen possible names. i want to get your opinion on who you think -- we saw anyone from senator mike lee from utah to judge margaret ryan from the iowa supreme court. i could go on. we have about half of them there, half of the people who have been tossed around. i want to ask you who has the best chance of getting approved? >> i think this list is an excellent one. it was so great that trump took the historic precedential step of putting out a list. the presidential role of ap pointing supreme court nominees is one of the most significant they have. what they'll want to look for is someone with a long record on the bench so we can see they don't don't just talk about philosophy but put it into practice, but they put it into practice when they felt it wasn't going to help them politically. su

the majority was justice scalia joined by justice kennedy, who had a long view on the court of first amendment protections generally. and the ginsburg, stevens, at the time, and suter. the dissent was justice breyer from the left, chief justice roberts, alito. that is the context of commercial advertising. we also have from the court the decision where the court struck down -- a complicated case -- but for relevant purposes, struck down billboard advertising of tobacco. basically made it impossible to advertise tobacco in virtually any area of this jurisdiction. the rationale for it was, you put it on a billboard as opposed to the pages of some adult magazine -- does not mean the same thing, a magazine aimed at adults. lots of kids can see it, but lots of adults can see it. you cannot restrict the speech available to adults in any broadway -- broad way simply to shield the children. that is something the court had developed before. it applied it to commercial advertising as well. that is an important point because a lot of the kinds of restrictions in advertising to children i have seen, whether it has to do with food, violent video
