the souter seat came up when the berlin wall was coming down. the following year he nominated thomas. >> he didn't say i will nominate someone that was a moderate swing vote. the conservatives thought they were getting one of their own. >> souter's decision was clear. if you go to ginsburg, sotomayor, kagan, they're as promised. >> who would obama appoint. >> i think did you val patrick is a -- duval patrick. janet napolitano, former governor of arizona. >> the last would be probably last controversial of the three, janet napolitano because republicans have had it in for her -- >> after the speech at the convention. >> clear partisan. that would be pretty controversial. if obama goes the judge route. i think goodwin lou. >> he was filibustered. it is different to filibuster someone for thh supreme court. you really have to talk. the way the senate works, i mean, it is so completely dysfunctional is that a senator who objects to who is going on said i'm going to filibuster and they just simply give up. a supreme court is such a high-profile kind

years ago to focus on heathrow and now birmingham is a bit like a beautiful bride waiting for its souter. -- suitor. i join the 2.3 million people who fly from regional british airports on k.l.m. into amsterdam. in fact, people outside london are as likely to use skip-all to get to their final global democrat destination as they are to use heathrow. >> skip-all is a large airport in a small country. which means in order to expand it needs to lure customers from other countries and britain is the number one target. currently k.l.m. flies from 14 regional airports in britain and why britain has delayed about capacity enhancement, they have six full-length, full-use runways. 70% of all people who use here are transfer passengers. they have no intention of getting out in amsterdam. the equivalent for heathrow is around 30%. so, they've built their entire airport around passengers changing planes. something that might not make sense in london. >> we have the one terminal concept which makes it very easy for passengers that come in to connect to their flights. it's not huge distances that they

i had first identified a clear message in a bottle from justice david souter.a message that i read about gay marriage and to go slow. i read that to ted. ted began to tell me why he would not accept that. he talked about his client and the fact that one of his couples, two women, had children who were in school and ted said the children told them they want their parents to be married to the time they graduate from high school. that said, i cannot look them in the eye and say you need to wait. i thought in that moment that it was so powerful and watching the reaction here. i think they saw the power of that. that moment changed my thinking. one of the things that is quite dramatic about the movement is that there are 40 states that do not allow same-sex marriages. in the brief supporting the proposition 8 case, only 20 states joined the brief compared with all of the states joining in the maryland versus king. kevin noted that there were some that did not join -- it was noted that some that did not join. i still think it is worth -- whatever the outcome in the c

and i challenged ted by reading to him from justice david souter's final opinion as a justice, and in a case that had to do with re-opening criminal convictions with new dna evidence, and inappropriate to that pope was a caution by suiter about when you should ask people to change their traditional ways of thinking. and the need to go slow, and the need to give people institutions, citizens, courts, time to adjust to a change. that a person is not a stick in the mud, he said, just because it takes someone time to get adjusted to new ways of thinking. i had fir identified this as a clear message in a bottle from justice david souter, a message that i read to be about gay marriage to go slow. some i read that to ted, and ted then began to tell me why he would not accept that admonition. and he talked about his clients, and the fact that one of his couples, two women, had children who are in school and ted says the children told him they want their parents to be married by the time they graduate from high school. and ted said, i could not look them in the eye and say, you need to wait. a

my strong support, as he did another one of our new englanders, former justice and now judge david souter. and i am -- i'm sorry that it's taken so long. the senate judiciary committee committee moved this nomination through quickly, it's been stalled on the floor since then. so i'm glad he's going to finally receive a vote. it's well past time for the senate to vote on robert bacharach and richard taranto. as for -- that's for the 10th and federal circuits and those should be moving. we -- you know, i look at a nominee like this where the senior senator from maine, senator collins, her predecessor, or her former colleague, senator snowe, now her current colleague, senator king, have all supported this person from maine. in the past, especially when it's somebody extraordinarily well qualified as he is, in the past the nomination like that would be out of the committee and off the floor within a week. and we've got to go back to those times. if we have a contentious nominee, if we have somebody who should be devastated, let's debate -- debated, let's debate them. but if you have a person

do you accept the criticisms of the pentagon should have been warning about these furloughs souter so that they give the time or the urgency to the congress to do something about it? >> well, first, we started some slowdown in spending in general were a tenth and the number of the measures i mentioned went into effect shortly after that hiring freeze was cut back on the facilities maintenance. and we took a significant effort to try to slow down our spending to avoid more draconian actions later. i know that people feel we should have said more earlier. i will say 16 months ago the secretary send a letter to the united states congress saying defective sequestration would be devastating. the was october of 2011. after that we did a series of assessments and we testified in august and i personally testified in september. we listed every major item we are talking about. we said we would have to do furloughs. we said that the adviser would go down and unit costs would go up to it i mean, all the same things. what we didn't do is the tel budget planning. and i don't regret that because if
