Candidates, nominees from president republican president s have learned a lot about how to deal with the hearings. When you heard kavanaugh say as he did, talking about the parties to the case that theyre Flesh And Blood Human Beings and we need to have empathy for them and real world consequences of the court are very important. As a political matter, great stuff. A legal matter, its nonsense. Were youre an Appellate Judge and an issue comes before you, the issue is not the parties. Youre to re...

System which we have now and have had historically is a distinct system, appointed by the attorney general. morrison has nothing to do with that. that dealt with the old statute as you said which is expired in 1999 under overwhelming consensus that statute was inappropriate. secondly, morrison, justice scalias precedent, does not prevent the supreme court precedent that allows independent agencies to exist. those independent regulatory agencies continue to exist, of course. so both on the indepe...

Take a listen. >> no one is above the law in our constitutional system. federalist 69, hamilton makes clear all the ways that the executive branch, as designed by the framers of the constitution, was different from the monarchy. under our system of government, the executive branch is subject to the law, subject to the court system, and thats an important part of federalist 69. its an important part of the constitutional structure. >> judge kavanaugh says the roe versus wade decision legalizing a...

Dissented in the anthem case last year. your opinion would have allowed a merger between two of the four nationwide health insurance providers, which was eventually blocked because it would lead to higher prices for health care in the long term in what was viewed as poor-quality insurance. here you went a step farther than whole foods. instead of just trying to raise the bar on what the government would have to prove to block a merger, you also tried to lower the bar for merging companies trying...

Ignore a law even after a court upholds it, like you said? >> so ignore is not the concept there, as we discussed when we met. we had a good back and forth on that. the concept is prosecutorial s discretion. thats the concept i referred to, to explain the footnote youre referencing. in prosecutorial discretion, its obviously firmly rooted. united states versus richard nixon case says the executive branch has the absolute exclusive authority and absolute discretion whether to prosecute a case. th...

Case, so i cannot talk about it. >> okay. this is just my concern because of this expansive view of executive power, where it brings us and where we end up. i want to move on to some consumer issues. in 2016, you wrote an opinion which was later overturned by the full d.c. circuit in which you found the consumer financial protection bureau unconstitutional. the majority recognized that millions of people were devastated by the financial crisis, and they upheld this bureau and we know now in real...

Texas and represents the state of texas in many case where is the sovereignty of the state of texas to pass its laws and enforce its laws was critical. and the sovereignty of the individual states is important for the people. again, both for the accountability, the local government, and also, for the protection of individual liberty and i think the tenth amendment underscores that. it also makes -- it helps underscore something else which is the states cant be commandeered by the federal governm...

An umpire, whos not wearing the uniform of one litgator or another, one policy or another. someone who reads the law as written, informed by history and tradition in precedent and constitutional cases. the law is written, informed by the cannons of construction that are settled in statutory cases, that treats litigants with respect, that writes opinions that are understandable and that resolve the issues. i think civility and collegiality help make a good judge. a good judge understands that rea...
