supreme court justices require 60 votes for confirmation. >> if this nominee cannot earn 60 votes a bar met by each of president obama's nominees and george bush's last two nominees, the answer isn't to change the rules. it's to change the nominee. >> he knows the difference between speaking for a court and for himself. >> a committee evaluating judge gorsuch gave him qualified rating. horace: now covering metro and it's official. metro passengers will soon pay more to ride the train and the bus. stephen tschida is joining us live from the dupont circle metro station. how much more and when does it all start? stephen: well, it all starts july 1. i can tell you a lot of the commuters tonight thinking a about the fare increases after the metro board voted today to raise fares and cut service. fewer trains, higher fares heading to metro july 1. >> if i had my druthers i would not have voted for fare increases. i would not have vented for service cuts. stephen: but you did. they all did. they voted unanimously to raise fares. >> all in favor, say aye. >> aye. >> the ayes have it. stephen: peak r contracts. offpeak up a quarter. they will spen

supreme court justice in history has been defeated because he was filibustered. the only arguable example is the nomination in the face of a scandal. the notion was largely the invention of track schumer when george w. bush became senate -- president. i hope the democrats do not choose to filibuster gorsuch today voted unanimously one decade ago but if they do of what they have gone over two centuries with the easiest centuries is justice clarence thomas with a great supreme court justices in history we all remember it was highly controversial at the time and those friends were very animated about justice thomas b. yeah he was confirmed with 52 votes not as a single view demanded the 60 vote threshold. . . senate minority leader chuck schumer and other democrats are calling for disclosure of those supporting neil gorsuch supreme court nomination.

supreme court. thank you. the program on justices of the supreme court continues with president barack obama's first appointee. she was confirmed 6 sixty-day-31 and 2009 replacing david souter appointed by george h. w. bush. she previously served on the second court of appeals and is the first hispanic to serve on the supreme court. we will show a brief portion of the confirmation hearing including an introduction by the new york senator charles schumer and her opening statement. >> embodies what we strive for as american citizens, her life and career are not above race or gender although as for all of us, these are important parts of she is. her story is about how race and class at the end of today are not supposed to predetermine anything in america. what matters is hard work and education and those will pay off no matter who you are or where you come from. it is what each of us want for ourselves and our children and this shared vision is why this moment is historic for all americans. she was born to parent parents t moved from new york to puerto rico during world war ii. her father was a factory worker with a third-grade education denied when she was nine. her mother worked and raised she

supreme court. jonathan turley, a constitutional law professor at george washington university right here in washington, says that this past administration has created a constitutional crisis the likes of which our country has never seen. professor turley talks about how a president now has shown future presidents a new precedent of how to run the government without congress, by blocking the senate and actually creating the fourth arm of government -- the regulators. i think this is the time in the history of our rope that we have to reestablish the balance of power between the three power, the legislative underreach, the executive overreach and now the establishment that rules coming from regulators have every much the same weight as laws produced right here behind debate in the united states senate and the united states congress. this is a time that we have to have a jurist that will bring a balanced view for all americans to be represented in the united states supreme court. i'm proud to have the opportunity to support this nominee. i urge my colleagues in the senate to put partisan interests aside,

george w. bush administration and that was overruled by the u.s. supreme court.ut we're in a new era, a new era with an unconfengs vengsal president and with an unpredictable supreme court. whether california can prevail this time remains to be seen. but clearly there's a lot at stake for the state and the nation. >> okay. really interesting as always. thank you so much. >>> and stay with us, we'll be right back with more news in just one moment. >>> at 7:50 wurn temperatures around san jose peeking of 51 it's 51 degrees right now and with the cloud cover probably not warming a whole lot today. highs in the low 60s around the santa clara valley. 53 in san francisco with the rock-n-roll marathon under way. some light rain at times that has seemed to have backed off in the last half hour or so. some showers up here towards san ra fell into the north bay, little less so for the moment closer to san francisco. central bay into the south bay a lot of clouds, not much rain. up towards past east of dublin seeing some light showers approaching liver more but unlike the r

while the law school at george mason university bears the name of late justice antonin scalia -- that school will not be getting papers from his time on the supreme courtd - scalia's family is donating those writings to his alma mater -- they won't be available anytime soon though. the first batch of documents will become available in 20-20. material related to specific cases, won't be accessible as long as any of the justices or judges involved in the cases are still alive. students in alexandria city will have a day off on wednesday. schools will be closed, after more than 300 staff members asked for the day off. it's believed to be tied to the planned protest "a day without a woman." wednesday will be considered a "teacher work day." due to the lack of snow days this winter, it's unlikely students will have to make up the day later in the year. the lack of snow days is not just limited to the d-m-v. in fact-- this mild winter is really impacting an iconic race. the iditarod started monday morning in alaska -- but with a pretty big change. organizers had to change the course because there isn't enough snow! this is the second time in three years the

supreme court justices had over 60 votes in their process. both with every president who, from president clinton, george w. bush, to president obama. this is about getting a nominee who can get 60 votes. from my perspective, this is someone that has always sided with big institutions, big corporations, entities. you know the case of the truck driver in michigan who unfairly was fired. six different judges said he was unfairly fired and then it got judge gorsuch and he had sided with the company. this was a gentleman who was essentially freezing to death in the cold and trying to get some help. or the child who is trying to get special education and their parents are concerned, the entire supreme court had ruled against a standard judge gorsuch set up in ruling against the child. so there's case after case after case. in my book, this is somebody out of the main stream. we should have a nominee that can get a bipartisan 60-vote threshold. that's really what we said when we were in the majority. we didn't change rules in the supreme court because we get it should be 60 votes. >> but senator, there is nothing written anywhere that say

supreme court in american history. [applause] it is true. it is true. but remarkable, this week, senator chuck schumer and the in his party in the senate actually announced that the democrats plan to filibuster george gorsuch's -- a judge gorsuch's nomination to be an associate justice. that is something that has never been done successfully in american history. let me say this to you, west virginia -- if we can get the help of senator joe manchin, and with the help of other senators, judge neil gorsuch will soon , ande justice neil gorsuch america and the rule of law will be better for it.

clerked for supreme court justices byron white, and anthony kennedy, who remains a key player on the court today. he spent ten years in private practice, and one in the justice department under georgebush, who appointed gorsuch, then just 38, to a seat on the 10th circuit court of appeal, based in denver. you're not surprised that he's up for a supreme court nomination? >> well, actually, i'm shocked! >> brown: you are? >> yeah, to be honest with you. because he's such a down-to- earth guy. you just don't get that sense of, he's going to go try and run the world. >> brown: jamil jaffer worked with gorsuch at the law firm and later as his law clerk and has remained a friend. jaffer now teaches at the antonin scalia law school at george mason university, named for the man who neil gorsuch may replace. >> one of the interesting things about judge gorsuch is that he really is a judge's judge, you >> brown: what does that mean, exactly? >> yeah, so he's not looking to get a particular outcome. he doesn't have a particular policy view that he wants to impose upon the law. it's applying the laws congress wrote, applying the constitution as the people who wrote it understood it. and not go

i wases in the oval office with george bush and he had just had a doozy. it involved a supreme court harriet miers, and in a small meeting he said, you know, i rarely make mistakes, but this time, i got ahead of the american people. he didn't say, it was a bad choice, he said, i got ahead of the american people and didn't explain it to them. and all i'm saying is that there's a different kind of view sometimes when you have that much of, you know, a view maybe of yourself. and i'm just saying, that's -- >> they all do it! >> they all do it, the congressman says. but, here's one point that we can't forget to point out. this isn't a bit of a surprise to a lot of people. the country voted him in, knowing he did not tell the truth all the time. let's go right back to the conspiracy with ted cruz's father. they knew this. >> they don't all do it. and that's dangerous when we start talking about presidents lie, because they don't all lie -- >> president obama did. >> they don't all mischaracterize the truth. the problem is this white house and this president have eroded the credibility gap

george w. bush's rating after hurricane katrina. on capitol hill, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has scheduled a vote on april 7 on whether to confirm neil gorsuch as a u.s. supreme court justice. senate democratic leaders have vowed to filibuster the vote, setting up a confrontation with republicans, who've threatened to change senate rules to allow gorsuch to be confirmed by a bare majority, rather than 60 senators. in iraq, a suicide truck bomb struck a police checkpoint south of baghdad wednesday, killing 17 people and wounding about 40 others. meanwhile, fighting raged in western mosul where civilians remain trapped amidst fighting by u.s. backed iraqi forces and isis. on wednesday, the head of u.s. central command committed to a house committee the united states probably played a role in the deaths of as many as 200 civilians in an airstrike on mosul on march 17. at the white house, president trump said tuesday evening the battle to retake mosul was going well. pres. trurump: we're doing very well in iraq. our soldiers are fighting andd fighting l like never before. the results are very, very good. amy: meanwhile, amnesty international continues to criticize the

george gorsuch is a fellow westerner. where your from influences your understand offering cultural and regional sensitivities, and the current markup of the supreme court has an unmistakable lack of geographic diversity. of the eight current justices, five of. the were born in new york or new jersey. we say in arizona, and elsewhere, new york city, this is nice to have someone from the west with a western perspective, that fortunately judge gorsuch fits that bill. when i met judge gorsuch earlier this week we talked about our respective western backgrounds. i told him about my days greg up on a cattle ranch in rural arizona. he told me that his heart has always been in the american west. you learn a lot about a person by how they spend their time with their friends and family. there's no mistaking it with judge gorsuch. he is a westerner through and through. not what makes judge gorsuch a true we werer is more than just where he lives or what his personal interests are. in the west pre pride ourselves on being a free people with strong communities, and limited government. judge gorsuch's juris prudence reflect is what every westerner knows to be true,

george gorsuch: senator, whether i did or did not doesn't matter. hatch: answering judging the impending litigation. but, you have been very hesitant to even talk about very supreme courtecedents. i know chief justice roberts, when he was before as he said he -- we have had justices nominated by republican presidents. who had been willing to discuss. i was just hoping you would be as transparent as these prior nominees were. during the campaign, president trump promised to appoint judges very much in the mulder justice scalia. he had every right to say what he wanted. he could have picked anybody. the vice president said you two would you mind explaining the difference between all of these issues for those who may not be experts in administrative law? judge gorsuch: i would be happy to, senator. section 706 of the administration procedures act says basically two things, and i'm paraphrasing. it says the courts are supposed to defer to the factual findings of agencies. some extent you are talking about, expert file just my chemists, whatever manner of regulatory expertise we are talking about there. the courts do further and they take that seriously. and we do. just as

george w. bush wrote a book about him. when he won in 2000 in the supreme courting he did when he got into office was go up to ted kennedy and say let's do education reform, try to get a big unifying thing because to bring the country together because i know i'm politically weak. it's not just that donald trump doesn't understand his own populism but he didn't understand how politically weak he was coming in, and that if he was going to get anything done he couldn't do it with 36% of the country behind him. >> you said you wanted it simpler before, simpler tan that. i don't think he has taken control of the agenda in any way. he is not putting his stamp on either the cabinet or the congress or the bills that are coming out. a bully pulpit is what he kept talking about during the campaign, but he has lost control of the bully pulpit. in part, because he tweets and that changes the oxygen from what he was supposed to be saying. the russia thing has taken up a lot of room. i'm not sure that he has even gotten ahold -- i don't know that people know what he really car
