sincerely, mitch mcconnell, republican leader." and i ask unanimous consent the letter be added to the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: so i plan to return the exact same letter, the exact same letter, to my friend, the majority leader, with the same requests. in 2009 the then-minority leader called these benchmarks "contributory negligence "-- -- "commonsense standards" these standards don't indicate a lack of maturity. they show an abundance of common sense. just as his letter said. and i remind the majority that several, if not most of the nominees, have actually failed to meet the qualifications laid out by this letter, given the hearing schedule. mr. president, the majority leader is fond of mentioning that many obama nominees passed quickly in 2009, and he asks this we do the same. but there's a big difference between 2009 and today. president obama's nominees made -- met all the standards laid out in then-minority leader mcconnell's letter. president-elect trump's nominees have not. back in 2009

i urge my colleagues to sincerely consider the consequences. it is no longer just a game for political minds to repeal. to replace.e so far, in five years we have of repeal,years repeal, repeal so far nothing to replace it. need for the average americans, if you repeal the 30ot just for million who would lose coverage. many people are at very red, port states. will happen to the overall marketplace if you rip the aca.of some people across the aisle, people will lose their benefits, the insurance marketplace would fall apart long before the repeal would go into place. as insurers raise their prices, because they have to with the repeal. to the average american who has employer insurance will go up as well. my colleagues will own that just as we owned what happened previous to the selection. let me to you mr. president, if republicans pull the plug on health care reform on medicare, medicaid, it could mean absolute chaos. not affordable care. it would likely increase prescription drug costs, out-of-pocket cost for american families. the families

>> i wouldn't say it's sincere. i think it's just rhetoric he spouts off and doesn't necessarily think about what the policy implications are. i mean, this is i think something that we have gotten used to through the campaign and now during his preelection period, but as soon as he takes the oath of office, the significance of that changes dramatically. here is the fundamental point when it comes to obamacare. as soon as you repeal it, you're essentially repossessing people's health care. those 20 million people that didn't have make thhealth care w do. that is significantly consequential and has a much more dramatic political impact than if you were just giving something in the beginning. in terms of coming up with a replacement plan, there are no details, there are contradictions in the different proposals, let alone what's going to happen on the hill between republicans and democrats trying to fight -- deciding they have the advantage. the president-elect can say whatever he wants but once he takes the oath of of

i found him to be nothing but honorable, sincere, and really work for the people that elected him. and i have nothing but the highest regard for senator sessions. and i think that he -- when he says that he will be fair, especially like recusing himself with any hearings against hillary clinton, i think that you can trust him because i found him to be that way in court. >> so you didn't know him personally but you did have interactions with him as a judge yourself. >> yes. as a judge. and of course, attorney general coming through the court all the time. and so i found him to be nothing -- i mean extremely honorable. >> well, thank you so much for calling and weighing in, especially since you had such close proximity. wayne there, calling from birmingham, alabama. taking your calls while we watch the nominee for attorney general come back into the room. as soon as they start the testimony we'll end our calls. want to try to get one more here, bruce from warwick, rhode island, independent. bruce, sorry we're going to have to have you turn down your tv there. we're going to get start

and it's my sincere hope that democrats will include themselves in that "we" and i hope they will help us bring relief to the american people today and better health care solutions going forward. we want their ideas. we want their input. we value their contributions and the construction of durable, lasting and effective reforms. while i'm not the kind of guy who believes history takes sides, i know some of our democratic friends do. and by now they must surely have concluded that the obamacare or nothing crowd cannot be anywhere but on the wrong side of history. there's no future with that crowd. these are the guys who say obamacare's innumerable, well documented problems are a case of bad p.r. bad p.r. they tried to laugh them off, literally. tried to blame republicans, blame the media, blame the american people themselves. they have even taken to denying reality altogether. they say obamacare has been wonderful for america. they call its implementation fabulous. and just before the election, president obama actually said this: the par rad of horribles the republicans talked about hav

i believe he's sincere, i think if anybody can get this job done, it's president trump.iz: it looks like you met donald trump and spent time with him. what was it like meeting with him today. can you tell us what president obama means to you and your family? >> again, he's helping us have faith in the country again, that we count for something. he treated us like family. he knows a lot of the families by name, and he's just -- he's done and lot of things on his own time. i can't say enough. there was no other politician that -- on other side that reached out to me. liz: he said your children did not die in vain. donald trumps saying on just enforcing laws tt are already on the books. what are your final thoughts? >> i feel the same way. if they would just even 40s laws already on the books, my son would still be alive and so would a lot of these other americans that have been killed. i think that that's the key. we have good laws, we just need to enforce hem. >> why wasn't president trump able to do something like this? >> i think there is political reasons. and probably

sincerely, mitch mcconnell, republican leader." and i ask unanimous consent the letter be added to the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: so i plan to return the exact same letter, the exact same letter, to my friend, the majority leader, with the same requests. in 2009 the then-minority leader called these benchmarks "contributory negligence "-- -- "commonsense standards" these standards don't indicate a lack of maturity. they show an abundance of common sense. just as his letter said. and i remind the majority that several, if not most of the nominees, have actually failed to meet the qualifications laid out by this letter, given the hearing schedule. mr. president, the majority leader is fond of mentioning that many obama nominees passed quickly in 2009, and he asks this we do the same. but there's a big difference between 2009 and today. president obama's nominees made -- met all the standards laid out in then-minority leader mcconnell's letter. president-elect trump's nominees have not. back in 2009
