u.s. supreme court? >> brett kavanaugh, that's right. he got the nod, but now comes the spectacle, that's what the editors at "usa today" say, who conceded he's a highly accomplished judge and deserves the thoughtful consideration of the senate, but the paper is predicting that now the circus will begin, the spectacle, if you like. it's kind of a similar opinion from "the wall street journal." the editors there approve of donald trump's pick, calling kavanaugh the intellectual leader on the bench. but the paper predicts, "a political brawl quds aren't the nomination as it heads to the senate because, i quote, "this is the polarizing america of 2018." >> all right, let's end on a story that's not about football. it's about a new game in the u.s., starting where the prize is not what you might imagine. >> it's a quiz show basically, a tv quiz show. it seems orwellian. it debuts today in the u.s., where the prize is not money, but the chance to get part of your student debt paid off, as this briret says, rather sarcastically, isn't this wha

now we laugh to think about it, especially because the whole time ruth was in the courts, most notably the u.s. supreme court bringing the cases that would supply plenty of material for the books. another story that we share with other early women law professors is that we did not set out to be feminists, much less feminist law professors, but rather we fell into it, or rather we were pushed into it by our students. ruth ginsburg was interested in civil procedure, particularly as practiced and developed in scandinavian countries. and even further afield, my interests from my earliest days was in studying and practicing criminal defense law. i was the director of the public defender's service in washington, d.c., and ruth ginsburg was teaching procedure when a delegation of students came to each of us. they wanted a course in women and the law. and none of the regular faculty at georgetown where i was located or rutgers, where ruth was teaching, was interested in teaching such a course or even willing. and so we each, so we both became feminist law professors by necessity because no one else wo

u.s. government were not to abide by this order there's really very little the court can do it can hold the u.s. government in contempt of court and that's pretty much about it i think it bears repeating what you said that there are parents who were deported without their children and so when you look at how all of this is played out and the fact that. i went to court today knowing they had to go to court and still were not able to have all these records together what does this say about how this policy the zero tolerance policy has been implemented. it means the parents lost or they the government lost track of these children it means the u.s. government had no plan for how to reunite them when it separated them at the border is part of it zero tolerance policy and if if you reflect on this the u.s. government keep better track of postal packages than it does of these human beings it's actually using d.n.a. tests to try to match up the parents with the children it also means that we were misled at the very least by alex's are the health and human services secretary when he spoke to the sen

a u.s. court set a deadline of today to reunite separated migrant children with their parents the department of homeland security claims that it is on track to comply but government figures show that out of two thousand five hundred children around thirteen hundred of them are still separated and even those figures are uncertain as the reunions take place health professionals in the u.s. are sounding the alarm about the long term damage already done to these children. the lucky few reunited after months of not knowing whether they'd ever see their children again and for others even this moment soon turned to heartbreak after being separated for so long as some parents had their children didn't even recognize them. the difficult reunifications we've seen so far have highlighted just how hard it's going to be to bring these children back together with their families and how much damage has already been done by the trumpet ministrations original policy of taking them away from their parents. dr lucy

court. this comes at a time when the choice is fraught and consequential in ways that have never applied to any other u.s. president ever. consider for a second the snap shot. the president's first national security adviser has pled guilty to a charge. he will appear in court tomorrow. a federal judge is about to hold a hearing on the start of his process. and the start of two federal trials on multiple felony counts. the president's long time personal lawyer has just secured the legal services of one of president clinton's lawyers from his impeachment fight in the 90s. while prosecutors mull charges against him and while he is widely considering cooperating with those prosecutors in a potential plea deal. if the president ends up in the cross hairs of the investigation, any number of the elements of his defense may end up before the u.s. supreme court. therefore potentially before the nominee he has named tonight. can the president be subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury? can a president be criminally indicted? can the president pardon himself? can he pardon others if the goal of the pardons is to

u.s. supreme court decision last week that found public unions like the n.e.a. can no longer charge fees to nonunion members who are covered by union agreements the n.e.a. says that ruling is likely to cut its income from dues by fourteen percent over the next two years it has silenced my voice and has really. taken away my ability to have some collective power on behalf of my students and my colleagues in my profession unions are the last line of defense that's what this was about the move was praised by republicans including president donald trump who called it a big loss for the coffers of the democrats supreme court who said that the asians can make unlimited political contributions but the court has limited the sources of union contributions nevertheless these teachers seem enthusiastic determined to make a difference. the high court ruling will not affect states like florida with so-called right to work laws that already bar nonunion workers from paying dues but it does affect public union workers and twenty two other states that don't it is going to make

cavanaugh is 53 and serves on the u.s. court of appeals in dc. what is often seen as a steppingstone to the supreme court. critics say the two biggest things against him or five years in the george w. bush white house which led to some labeling as a insider. and several of his rulings led to obamacare being upheld. amy barrett meanwhile is no stranger to confirmation hearings for the 46-year-old mother seven is a staunch catholic and has been outspoken in her belief that life begins at conception. democratic senators really went after her for the last year during her confirmation hearings to the seventh circuit court of appeals in chicago. and the question how her views would impact her ruling on issues such as abortion. she will likely face a lot of the same questions if she is picked for the high court and sources tell fox news that republican senator susan collins of maine has already voiced the same concerns with barrett. there is a growing sense inside the white house that raymond kethledge could be the front runner right now. the 51-year-old
