sonya sotomayor had i believed 17 years as a federal judge. i think more judicial experience coming to the supreme court than any nominee in recent history. elena kagan was highly qualified. my numbers may be off but i think in the justice sonya sotomayor case she got republican votes and i think elena kagan got five. what is going on in the confirmation process? well, i will tell you little story that i heard about the process that is a wake-up call for how broken the system is. so it had appeared right after her nomination that she was calling to get a lot of republican votes. maybe most republican votes. she was a very attractive nominee. i'm going to place just a little bit of water. excuse me. mitch mcconnell the senate republican leader was quite upset by the idea that many in his party might vote to confirm her so he wasn't trying to make. so he went to the national rifle association and he asked them to, quote, score the boat. so if there's any washington insiders here you know that score in the vote means it is a vote in the interest

justices who were nominated, the last three women supreme court justices who were nominated, justice sotomayor and justice kagan and george w. bush's white house counsel, those three don't have any children. they have devoted themselves time to their careers. that's wonderful for those who want to do it. secretary chao doesn't have children. doctor jerry condoleezza rice doesn't have children. women who want to have a more sensible lifestyle choice, those who want to develop less time to their work and to their family, that is a goal, too. it should not be to make 100% of what men make. it should be to have a satisfying career. there is such a great variety of jobs available. flexible jobs, full-time jobs, they can work 60 or 80 hours a week and make an investment on wall street. women have all these choices. the ones who choose more sensible jobs with lower incomes should not be put down. they should not be made to feel as if they are making a valid choice. >> host: we are speaking with diana furchtgott-roth, author of "how obama's gender policies undermine america" and "women's figures: an i

justice sotomayor, and justice scalia from queens, justice ginsburg and justice kegan. staten island is not but you never know when there might be vacancies and we might address that gap. there are six product of harvard law school and three products at yale on the supreme court. there are apparently no other law schools in the united states besides those two. it is a bizarre and unfortunate fact i think actually. but those are i hope interesting facts about the supreme court. but frankly i don't think that they are very important. here is an important fact about the supreme court. there are five republicans and four democrats. i will speak for somewhat longer. but this is basically all you need to know. if there is a takeaway i've gotten to the point earlier there are five republicans and four democrats and that tells you much of what you need to know. it is true the justices where the roads because they are supposed to look alike and it's supposed to give the perception that they are all pretty much the same. but just as the united states congress is a deeply divided

and it talked about president obama picked the first hispanic american supreme court justice sonja sotomayor where you have a large puerto rican population and points out mitt romney has said that he would not have supported that pick for the supreme court. and that's all it says. they leave it at that. and, you know, that's a hard politics clearly going for that puerto rican vote here in the orlando area they hope to make a big difference. >> ed, thank you. we should point out romney camp also had a spanish language ad many of which are airing and criticizing the president over the health care policies. >>> every day, people doing extraordinary things. who are they? they're our cnn heroes and we'll introduce you to a man who's very much so making a difference right after this.

on my right is justice sotomayor. the chief justice will start. he will say, "we heard smith the jones a couple of days ago. you remember this case about," da da da da. he will talk a while and say what he thinks about the case. all of our votes are tentative, in the sense that we do not stop thinking after we say them. but he will say, "i vote to affirm because," and he will give his theory of the case. it will go around the table, with each person talking, until it gets to me. there is a rule that nobody can speak twice until everybody speaks once. if he speaks in the ninth position, that is a very good rule. you want to maintain that. sometimes, that is it. sometimes, everybody thinks, we have said everything we have to say. other times, it will be clear more conversation is called for. that is true if you have a fractured court. people will try very hard to try to keep talking until some kind of majority emerges. in other cases, there will be times when people will want to respond to things that another justice has said, will want to say, "tha

justice kagan is on my left and justice sotomayor is on the other. these young women are not shrinking violets. they're very active in questioning. now the perception is yes, women are here to stay. when i'm asked when with there'll be enough, i said, when there are nine. [laughter] [applause] there have been nine men and nobody has raised the question about that. >> you would often say something and it would be ignored. then a male colleague might say the same thing and people would say, what a great idea. does that cover still happen to that ever still happen to you? can you reflect on why inclusiveness in our society is still such a continuing challenge? >> it does not happen now only because of a very good job i have. there are only nine of us. when i speak, my colleagues listened, just as i listen to each of them. but that experience, women of my generation, all of them have had. when a woman spoke, it was time out. noune -- most of that is gone. >> the challenge of gender discrimination is one that you spend a lot of your career fighting. and i

we made history when president obama appointed sonya sotomayor -- [cheering and applause] a proud latinasupreme court justice. [applause] as the president likes to say, every single one that he appointed wasn't just the best latino for the job, but the best person for the job.

and that doesn't count our wonderful supreme court justices, it elena kagan and sonia sotomayor.

interestingly, the justice sotomayor and she was on the second circuit she wrote an opinion in which she pared back the more extreme process of the time in new york. so it's possible that she would be the same thing at the supreme court level if the issue comes back which i anticipate sooner or later it will on these sorts of practices. unfortunately they are common in many states. in thinking about which way these issues will go in the future, obviously a lot depends on who gets appointed to the supreme court over the next few years if there is any resignation that in addition a lot depends on the chief justice john roberts but not a lot is none but his position on the property rights. he did replace chief justice rehnquist but in the last ten or 15 years was pretty sympathetic to the property rights claims but there is a reason to believe that roberts may be different from rehnquist in this regard in the supreme court confirmation hearing he implied that may be kilo was correctly decided and the protection of the property owners for the abuse of this kind should be left to the poli

justice scalia, he divided that there was an 18th century tort law approach to the amendment, just a sotomayor said that both sides are essentially right. she adopted a property-based argument made clear that it could not deny the existence of the reasonable expectation test in cases where property arguments were not available. the greens became as that privacy should be maintained according to the fourth amendment. a miniaturized constable with a lot of writing materials. i had a pretty good idea of what i think it is. coincidentally, 1967, a book written call privacy and freedom. that was the idea that privacy is controlled information about oneself. i have written at length about the control dimension of privacy, if you will. people use it to describe different things. but the control to mention is that someone has dashed someone enjoys privacy when i have the power to control information about themselves and when they have exercised that power consistent with their interests and values. it is hard to do, particularly hard to do in the online world. i will talk about the off-line world to i

particularly the nomination of justice sotomayor.ro, mayor of san antonio will become the first latino to deliver the keynote address at a democratic convention. but while the president holdsing a 34-point lead among hispanic voters, only 49% of latino voters said they have a high level of interest in this election. democrats are also focused on young voters who vote for the president by a 34-point margin in 2008. but recent polling found just 61% of americans age 18 to 29 plan to be vote compared with 86% of older voters who are breaking for mitt romney by double digits. hat tip to the kids. tonight cal penn, herald and kumar fame, prime time speaking slot shortly after 9:00 p.m. some part of tonight's appeal to the youth vote includes a focus on veterans, many of the troops returning home from iraq and afghanistan are, of course, younger americans. the first lady will speak about her experience working with military families and president obama signed the vow to hire heroes act this past move which already seems to be producing res
