There is blaming and a look for who is the villain. Bernie sanders to ghastly attempted murder. This guy was essentially radicalized by the leftwing media. If people are using rhetoric like this president is a traitor and the republicans are treasonous and destroying our country, that might give the unhinged among you an excuse or target as it were. Howie the shooter was a Bernie Sanders volunteer who loved Rachel Maddow. The Washington Post reports bob mueller is examining obstruction of justice allegations against the president. Trump launches a media offensive against the special counsel. Its particularly a nightmare for the president of the United States. If President Trump fires Robert Mueller he might as well hire a sky writer to fly over the white news, i am guilty. Howie is the speculation getting way ahead of the facts . They call you the most paranoid man in america. Is that true . Absolutely not. A paranoid person would be hiding out in their house. I go out there and battle
Served on ken starrs investigation of clinton. And before all of that. He clerked for the justice. Chose in off to succeed. A point he mentioned first in his remarks tonight. Mr. President , i am grateful to you, and im humbled by your confidence in me. 30 years ago, president reagan nominated Anthony Kennedy to the Supreme Court. The framers established that the constitution is designed to secure the blessings of liberty. Justice kennedy devoted his career to securing liberty. I am deeply honored to be nominated to fill his seat on the Supreme Court. Judge kavanaugh does not have a paper trail to speak of on marriage rights. On the record if a president should be shielded from criminal litigation until they leave office. He has the written that, they should. That, that, could of course been consequential. In any event. As you saw at the top his nomination sparked protests already. Already lobbying is under way by the white house to overcome it. The target. Wavering republicans and red
Know how many we know what you have done in the lower court, thats the best basis for knowing whether or not you ought to be on the Supreme Court. So we have 307 cases that this nominee has written decisions on as a basis for that and and weve got 488,000 other pages and maybe the senators havent read them but their staff is fully informed because last night before 11 00 on the 42,000 pages that have come to our attention, the staff on the republican side has gone through them but why did you ask for the white House Counsel document . They were not germane to this hearing. Why would you ask them. Thats a rate of 7,000 pages per hour. Thats super human. Theyre amazing. Theyre amazing. Mr. Chairman, if i may proceed. Ive been through Nine Supreme Court hearings is this your Opening Statement . Its part of it. Why dont you make your Opening Statement . Shall i . Would you please i ask an opportunity to respond to my colleague from texas because he is directly challenged us with i said you
Case involving alleged wrongdoing by the president were to come before the court. He has stated that marbury versus madison, youngstown steel versus sawyer, and the United States versus nixon, are three of the four greatest Supreme Court cases in history. What did they have in common . Each of them is a case where congress served as the check on president ial power. He believes that precedence is not just a judicial policy, it is constitutionally dictated to Pay Attention and pay heed to rules of precedence. Despite the turbulent, bitter fight surrounding his nomination, my fervent hope is that Brett Kavanaugh will work to lessen the divisions in the Supreme Court. We are covering this from all angles. Alan dershowitz joins us in a moment. And chief correspondent mike emanuel is on capitol hill. What are we hearing from those who intend to support judge kavanaugh today . The republican supporters say that the way that judge kavanaugh was treated during the confirmation process was sham
