the position open for a year to give the people a voice in selecting a supreme court justice. i just heard the remarks of the republican leader. it is obvious why he is so defensive. this is what leader mcconnell said in 2016. mere hours after the death of justice scalia. his words, "the american people should have a voice in the election of their next supreme court justice. this vacancy shall not be filled until we have a new president." no amount of self history contained what he said then -- sophistry can change what he said then. 2016 op-ed on february 18, with senator grassley, mcconnell thee, "given that we are in midst of a presidential election process, we believe the american people should seize the opportunity to weigh in on who they trust to nominate the next person for a lifetime appointment to the court." electiondst of an , february, before the election. now these words do not apply? it does not pass the test. no matter -- no wonder he was so defensive in his comments. at a press conference in march 2016, leader mcconnell said, "we will look forward to the america

the challenge is a lot of supreme court justices are elected and subject to a lot more politics than the supreme court itself which is at least as isolated as you can be from lifetime appointments, so i think that presents one of the most interesting challenges in the whole situation. i think a reasonable republican argument, you know, for the president and mitch mcconnell is, look, you can't have an evenly divided supreme court during a contested election. but as danny points out, that was what happened in 2016 when the nominee then, marerrick garland wasn't confirmed and didn't get a hearing. >> all right. we appreciate your time this morning. >> the battle ahead over a supreme court seat. >>> in a moment, the political battle on capitol hill and why the krit ticks of the senate majority leader accuse him of hypocris hypocrisy. ypocri hypocrisy.

supreme court justices. right exactly so the majority of the supreme court now is 5 republicans toward 4 and with her death it might be possible that donald trump only 45 days away from the election might pick the next republican supreme court justices before election day and that would really give him kind of a solid republican majority in the supreme court and this you know is important because supreme court justices are wonted for their lifetime and so that would mean for the for the next years to come that the republicans would have a really solid majority in the supreme court and therefore everything is highly politically politicized right now so close to election day. your in denver reporting on the u.s. presidential campaign it's a delicate moment there are 45 days to go until the election does that give president donald trump enough time to install a conservative replace. yeah that is a very good question and this is kind of the 1st thing people debate here legally he has the right the republicans hav

she was appointed by bill clinton, the second woman supreme court justice. there are now two women in court and two remainder women on the supreme court right now. and obvious lyanly anchor of th liberal size of supreme court of women's issues and abortion rights and gun issues as well. so certainly a mix of sadness for the loss and a lot of questions obviously with supreme court justice of what happens next in terms of the politics situation. >> joining us now is amanda, a former law school of justice ginsburg. thank you for joining us, i know this is difficult news. your thoughts when you heard it. >> absolutely devastation. those who were lucky enough to work with her and work for her just know what an incredible, and a national treasure. to lose her now is just devastating. it is devastating for all the obvious reasons but it is also devastating because i nefear in the political context in which she has passed, we have not spent nearly enough time to talk about her incredible legacy and all she did to make this country, you know, so much better. >> amanda

supreme court justices are acting more and more like elected officials, how so? >> sure. so in the very basic way, if a law is passed and the supreme court says this law is unconstitutional, in the past, congress would go back and rewrite the law, same thing with the executive order. the president would go back and rewrite the executive order. now that doesn't happen anymore. it used to happen a dozen times a year. two dozen times a congressional session. now it almost never happens. just a few examples, the supreme court invalidated part of the voting rights act that passed 98-0. when it was invalidated seven years ago and in that amount of time, even though the voting rights act passed by unanimous margins, able to rewrite the bill that was invalidated because in that short amount of time, congress became so contentious and hyperpolarized, so instead of the ongoing conversation, what the supreme court says goes. with the dreamers and same-sex marriage, these are things i think congress would weigh in but instead falling to the supreme court to make these decisions for th

a voice in selecting a supreme court justice. r.i just heard the remarks of the republican leader, it is obvious why he is so defensive. this is what leader mcconnell said in 2016, mere hours after the death of justice scalia, quote, his words, the american people should have a voice in the selection of their next supreme court justice. therefore this vacancy shall not be filled until we have a new president. no amount can change what might connell said then, and it applies even more so now, more so, so much closer we are to an election. an op-ed on february 18, 2016, with senator grassley, leader mcconnell wrote, given that we are in the midst of a presidential election process, we believe the american people should seize the opportunity to weigh in on who they trust to nominate the next person for the lifetime appointment to the courts. in the midst of an election system. in the midst of an election process, february before the election. but now we are not? now these words don'ton apply? does not pass the smell test in anyway.

so there's definitely a fair amount of thought that goes into the process by the supreme court justices this has come up twice now, both times when the justices have passed away unexpectedly. >> senator schumer said he'll hold the call with his caucus at 1:00 p.m. today. what options do democrats have other than to try and build some ground swell across the country that this is at odds with what went on four years ago? >> i think that -- you know, their option is to build ground swell, and perhaps with that ground swell, you know, to try to convince at least four republican senators to vote no on whoever the president puts forward. you know, they need at least four because if only three republican senators vote no, then the vice president mike pence can break the tie. and a nominee could be confirmed. >> amy, may i recommend the obituary that you wrote for scotus blog. it's very detailed. it has a lot of substantive information. and also a good snapshot of justice ginsburg's personality. thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> let's see what you're all saying via my smerco

there's no such thing as a supreme court justice seat that is liberal or conservative, there are just good justices who interpret the law of the way congress intended and we need a justice on the supreme court to interpret the law properly consistent with what a judge is supposed to do, not reengineer the constitution, rewrite it or give us a different constitution from what we all supported originally. >> tucker: you make a very wise point. if the institution can't function under stress, it's a dysfunctional institution. peter schweizer is a best-selling author, frequent guest on this show, we are happy to have them join us tonight. for our viewers just joining us, supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg what next? >> i would say justice ginsburg is not somebody i would agree with in terms of judicial philosophy but i admire the fact that she had friendships with people across the aisle, the judicial aisle like a justice scalia. this is going to be a major stress on our system because what has happened is the left has become so engaged in judicial activism. they can't accomplish th

supreme court is the size it is and how it works the way it does. give us some context here about changing the composition or the process of nominating and appointing supreme court justicesas neil said, the size of the court has changed in the 19th century. it was a political football. the jeffersonians, when they won the election, were denied a supreme court seat because the federalist changed the size of the court to prevent jefferson from making appointments. in the civil war it went up and down because of politics and then franklin roosevelt threatened to pack the court but the democrats refused to go along because they thought it would threaten the institutional legitimacy of the court. that's what is so extraordinarily significant about this battle. if the democrats pack the court in response to a republican replacement for justice ginsburg this will threaten the nonpartisan legitimacy of the court in ways that it will harm its statue in precisely the way justice ginsburg would have most feared. that's why her statement to her granddaughter as reported by npr, it was her most fervent wish she not be replaced until the next president was elected is a reflection not

[laughter] david: now, the best way to win a case if you are arguing one before the supreme court is to write a great brief, to be a great oral advocate -- does the oral argument make a difference or does the brief make a difference? what is the best way to win a case in this court for someone who mi
