that he disagrees with some of the decisions of the two men, kennedy and souter. i offer them as examples, mr. president, both men vicious of opinions that are sharply reject, but during a period of divided government, both of the sort of compromise candidates who are appropriate for the court and whose confirmations i supported. in my view, the contemporary confirmation process functioned well in rejecting judge bork and approve his justices kennedy and souter. even in so succeeding, one can see within the process and explosion that was to calm with the promise nominations -- was to calm with the promised nominations. as i said earlier, the root of the collapse of the confirmation process is the administration's campaign to make a supreme court an agent of an ultra-right conservative socialist agenda which lacks support in congress and the country. i will just point out again, mr. president, the entire socialist agenda of the reagan administration has yet to gain a majority support in the united states senate or the united states house of representatives, or amon

among the most frustrating aspect of the souter and thomas hearing was the one i tried to question the nominees and whether they thought individuals had a right to privacy, everyone, the press, the public, the nominees, my colleagues, thought that i was trying to ask about abortion in disguise. no matter how many times i said truthfully and frankly, quote, know, forget about abortion, how you will face the many unknown questions that will confront the court in the 21 stupid century i must know whether you think individuals have a right to privacy. end of quote. no matter how many times i insisted, everyone believed i was asking about abortion. that is how powerfully the issue dominates our process. second, in the period between bork and thomas's nominations, they developed what could be called an unintended conspiracy of extremism between the right and the left to undermine the confirmation process and question the legitimacy of its outcome. simply put the right could not accept that any process which resulted in rejection of judge bork was fair and legitimate. notwithstanding contempo

critiques of justice souter. i might add with a kind of independence the nation sorely needs any federal judiciary that has been and is still the envy of the world.i remember when the soviet union broke up . came toof new members washington to visit with members of congress. they sat in my conference room and said let's ask you one question. we have heard there are cases where people sue the government and the government loses. i said it happens all the time. they said you don't replace the judge immediately when that happens? [laughter] >> it struck me how much different we are and how much we can show the rest of the world if we stay independent in our judiciary. we see in the recent stories about the planning and fundraising on both sides of the whate as they prepare for has been characterized as an upcoming confirmation battle. just this week in the wake of the supreme court decision on primitive action -- affirmative action, the headline read "angry groups seek justice who oppose affirmative action." focused

you need about 100 nuclear power plant shooting into souter space and hitting a sail which then pushes sail to 20% the speed of light. we have huge lasers on the planet earth. kennedy: and we don't have anything like that. wham the closest thing we have to something about that much. >> in california we have a gigantic machine which has laser beams to create a mini hydrogen bombs. but it only work for a fraction of a second. we need two minute to shoot this thing up to 20% the speed of light. kennedy: people are sketched out by nuclear power. especially after fukushima. people are worried about what can happen, the what ifs, if there are meltdowns and natural disasters. >> it could be a coal plant or oil fire plant. we need 100 watts of power to energize the laser beam. if you aim it wrong it will miss alpha centari. kennedy: do they believe there is a habitable planet with people having the same kind of conversation. >> it's a triple star system. not one, not two, but three stars going around each other. we think there is a planet there but it's not confirmed yet. we think there could

>> i didn't talk to justice souter during the writing process. the way i was trying to depict the supreme court and some of the lessons that i thought were imminent in the historical material did come from my experiences clerking for him and some of the things that he said. so he didded have an influence on -- did have an influence on the book in that sense. >> i sent the book to her, and she wrote me a letter back that said something like i think it's really interesting that you used the name "tuttle," because there's a former judge from the 5th circuit -- >> right, right. >> i forget his first name? >> elbert. >> and he would never have had a mid-life crisis. [laughter] >> that's great. that's great. kim, i want to go back to you on your book. what concerns did you have about writing fiction about real figures like justice black, justice frankfurter? you also used real names of other characters like eugene gressman and some others. was that -- why did you do that, and was it a tricky thing to work out? >> well, in some cases it was a little tri

the military basically taking after these zoot souters, and people who didn't look like zoot suit 'er was attack and a filipino was beaten up by the sailors. as a result long beach passed an ordinance saying there could be no congregation of large numbers of people that might develop into a mob. and probably the most interesting ordinance i found was that on ve, victory in europe, and vj day, all of the bars and liquor stores were ordered closed. after the war was over everybody was ecstatic. rationing was no longer in effect. it's interesting about rationing because one of the things they rationed were fabrics and this is something that the sailors and the soldiers loved because it meant that women's skirtlines went up, away within the pleaded skirts and guess what developed? the bikini this the two-piece bathing suit. that was a benefit of rationing. one of the other things that was -- that happened after world war ii was the beginning of the atomic age. and it was so sad for those shipyard workers who had built so many ships during world war ii, to see them taking -- taken off of o

souter opl, my big fat greek late. greg: myrna. thank you very much for supporting "good day there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. but i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the american horizon. to a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. is paid to all. an america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren. a nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone. i know we can create that america if we listen to our conscience and our hearts and not to the pundits and the naysayers. i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message, and i ask for your vote. fios is not cable. we're wired differently. in the last 10 years our competitors have received a few awards. but we've received a few more, including jd power who ra

we're going begin with former justices at the time souter and sotomayor which is called the good faith exception. >> if the mistake which leads us to conclude that there has been a fourth amendment violation was a mistake not made by the police but made by the judge or a magistrate who issued the warrant, that should not preclude the introduction of evidence on the theory described in mapp v ohio. then you gain not guilty in influencing police conduct by keeping the evident out. >> what doctrine it underlays is that you don't want the police violating your constitutional rights without a good faith basis without probable cause and that's why you have a judge to make that determination. it's why you require them to go to a judge. what i had them look at is whether we should make the police responsible for what would be the judge's error, not their error. they gave everything they had to the judge. and they said to the judge, i don't know. even if they thought they knew, that isn't what demands the warrant. it's the judge's review. susan: so interesting renee that these were coming up as
