Public defender, in private practice and i know we confirmed you as a member of the u.s. sentencing commission. this may seem like an easy question but i just ask you. you have had such broad experience, but they are all different in a way. how does that shape your approach when deciding a case? >> thank you, senator. as i mentioned at the beginning, i have a methodology that i apply when i am deciding cases. and maybe my various experiences helped me the get to the point of understanding the im...

Our responsibilities. we understand at the district court level, at the court of appeals level, and at the supreme court that judges are restrained, are constrained in the exercise of our power under our constitutional scheme. my methodology is designed to help me to make decisions within those confines at every level. its no different now that im on the court of appeals than when i was on the district court with respect to my understanding of the constraints on my authority and my responsibilit...

On crime or generally in specifically soft on child porn. it was really fascinating to listen to her this entire time, really talking about what her judicial philosophy, judicial methodology is, this idea that she approaches cases by essentially clearing the deck, trying to get to a point of neutrality and then listening to the arguments from both sides and then trying to stay in her lane. she kept saying that. so it really is a pushback against this idea that somehow shes captive of the radical...

Bush 43 put forward and 2005-2006 she was filibustered two years as a black conservative judge and there were members of the senate at the time and biden was on the judiciary committee that did not want to put her forward because one of the people anonymously said in the paper they did not want a republican in a position to nominate a black woman to the supreme court because they wanted to do that themselves. she was a very qualified judge, the same thing, its been 22005-2006. judge soft on crim...

Have work to do were going to be meeting with senators on both sides of the aisle from now up until the time of the vote on the floor. >> can you get any republicans, do you think? >> i hope so. i believe so. you just listen to some of the questioning and if you listen to the answers, so much of the answers she gave about her methodology of approaching cases is exactly what so many people on both sides of the aisle are looking for. they want a consistency, they want to have an idea of where this...

In some ways weve only scratched the surface of your decade and the more than 570 opinions youve written. but its clear to me from what ive reviewed and from just this sample that as we also heard from colleagues, from conservative lawyers, from judges who wrote to the committee, that you are judicious and evenhanded, that you have a demonstrated record of excellence, that you adjudicate based on the facts and the law and not as an advocate activist or partisan. and i encourage my colleagues who...

Thats just, lets see. picking her, childs, would demoralize the base, side with corporate america. the fact that lindsey graham was vouching for her should give the white house pause. our revolution. joseph, whatever his name is, sorry about that joseph. bernie sanders pac director. did you know all of these people were declaring war on judge childs? >> senator, i did not. >> well, not saying you did. you said you didnt know, ill take you at your word, but i am saying that, what is your judicial...

Casey that allows for regulation so long as theres not an undue burden on the exercise of the right previability. >> some of what were wrestling here is the question of -- i think what senator cornyn was driving at is how particular the concept of deeply rooted goes and how that is abound on what the judiciary can do. i want to thank you. were nearly at time. i want to thank you for engaging in the back and forth. i want to think more about what you said and look forward to further discussion to...

What we learned was not much about her judicial philosophy as well. several senators keyed in on that notably been sass. she keeps referring is a clip you played about her methodology, clearing her mind, listen to the parties arguments, look at the facts, apply the law. thats not really a philosophy it is the nuts and bolts of what in the judge does. and, although she did say good things about a regionalism about the original public meaning of the text, kind of like the tribute vice pays to virt...

In article ii, and gives it to the president, the power to execute the laws. and it puts the judicial authority, the power to interpret the laws in article iii, and gives it to the court. the separation of powers is crucial to liberty. it is what our country is founded on, and its important as consistent with my judicial methodology for each branch to operate within their own sphere. that means for me that judges cant make law. judges shouldnt be policy makers. thats a part of our constitutional...
