Who is right on history know . This is unprecedented. History is written by the victors. We will find out after this plays out. We can say this about joe biden, he was speaking hypothetically. Lets member where joe biden was in 1992. He had just presided over the confirmation of Clarence Thomas, which was not a very great moment in his own record as a senator. He managed to disappoint both sides. Felt as thomas was republicans vote counts thomas wasnt treated fairly Clarence Thomas was not treated fairly. Confirmation of an extreme it conservative justice to succeed one of the most liberal justices in history, thurgood marshall. Joe biden may have been under special pressure 1992 to say that he was not going to let that kind of debacle occur again on his watch. I dont know if he was speaking more broadly for the democratic caucus. Lets remember where he specifically was at that point. We can see there is a movie that much on hbo. We will see how great can near put trays people see how
Important. A matter of who is occupying that ninth seat in the Supreme Court. It has to do with how we as a thecracy operate, and particular authority that a court has to bring in order for work. Mocracy to that was a really long answer. [laughter] others will not be as long. [laughter] let me ask you about that, mr. President. This point . Et to you hear sometimes that the problem is the Supreme Court has into political issues, and so of course it gets inmeshed in politics. Court has been controversial almost from the jeffersonansom the attack on the martial courts. And we havent had this before. So do you have an explanation what it is that i think there are a variety of explanations. Important to its underscore what you just said. All i dont have you law students all of you law students, i think just from reading cases you will that theres politics in legal rulings. Make decisions about right, wrong, what are the rules governing our society, et cetera, that thats an extension of our
[cheers and applause] john kasich when you went to college in the 1970s you appreciated a peaceful protest every once and a while. Yeah. You do. First of all, when you are in the arena, and you are struggling and leave your family to go on the campaign trail and deliver a message to america because you believe that you are the best qualified person to be president of the United States and you put it on the line, i want this crowd here tonight to give a great response to a very great, talented and fine United States senator, marco rubio for the effort he has done. [applause] john kasich tonight we arrived in cleveland. We went to a restaurant. We thought we could sneak in and grab a quick meal. When we walked through the restaurant, people started to cheer. My reaction, please dont do that because youre going to make me cry. But to have people believe in you and to believe that you can bring people together and strengthen our country, i have to thank the people of the great state of ohi
Press. We put together the coalition for court transparency. It was a single issue group with five or six clients. I was a part of a Consulting Firm in d. C. , and the issue was ending the broadcast media in the federal judiciary. From the federal level to the Supreme Court, we had 20 different groups together, and pressed various different forms as lobbying, media, it going on tv, programs like this, trying to get cameras in the Supreme Court. After doing a number of events like cspan, i realized it wasnt just the issue of a lack of broadcast media inside the courtroom that made the Supreme Court very opaque. It wasnt just the cameras issue. It was the fact that they dont follow the same ethics rules as every other federal judge, the fact that they serve for life where as most other democracies there is a term limit. They dont put information online. They dont say when justice cane is speaking in massachusetts or in georgia. He wasnt as this one issue, but a whole host of issues that
Ted cruz has organize really well in terms of making sure that his delegates representing him, delegates favoring him our representatives on committees and going into the convention, he will have a decent amount of individuals he will be deciding on the rules of the convention, this is it is important at point and im sure john kasich as well, they have been paying attention to it. Whats the snapshot for the democrats . Uluru clinton continues to be the large front runner, but i think Bernie Sanders is the front runner in wisconsin and just like that too weak period that two week period of no vote, i think he could potentially win wisconsin. 12lary clinton is only up points in one poll this week, so it is still a competitive race. Ae continues to accumulate delegate lead and the superdelegates, but the democratic contest is not over. Thanks to both of you for being here on newsmakers. The media teaches us that democrats and republicans are supposed to be at odds with each other, and i t
