Anyone who is in a Higher Risk Group or who is in a household with someone in a Higher Risk Group.

The county currently has a 2. 4 positive test rate. Its still nice to achieve a covid19 case rate between one and 3. 9 new cases per 100,000 residents and keep those numbers for 2 weeks. I guess that we not attend that we dont know how this nominee use a womans right to choose make her own health care. Decisions here. I dont senator Kamala Harris slammed President Trumps pick for Supreme Court as a threat to the Affordable Care act and abortion rights. The california senator and Vice President ial nominee was the last democrat of the day the grill Amy Coney Barrett today was the second day of a Senate Committees confirmation hearing and the first day of questioning joe khalil reports from washington dc. I dont have any agenda. I have an agenda to stick to the rule of law decide cases as they come he didnt take one tuesday for senators to ask judge Amy Coney Barrett about how she would rule on the Affordable Care act in cases involving abortion rights do you agree with Justice Scalias you that roe was wrongly decided so senator i do want to be forthright and the answer every question actually be wrong and a violation of the candidates for me to do that there it didnt directly answer how she would rule on any specific case which is typical of nominees, but she did distanced herself from decisions by the late Justice Antonin Scalia who she called a mentor and whose philosophy she says she shares if im confirmed you would not be getting justice scalia. You would be getting Justice Barrett senator Amy Klobuchar was one of Many Democrats who press judge barrett on her past criticism of the courts decision to protect the Affordable Care act you think we should take the president at his word. When he says his nominee will do the right thing in overturning the Affordable Care act over sharp and others pointed to President Trumps tweets a promising a justice who would overturn it. He said also on twitter that it would be a big win. If the Supreme Court strikes down. The health law an ocean republican senators and judge barrett shot down if you committed to the president or anyone else that you will vote to repeal the Affordable Care act if confirmed by. To the cork absolutely not i was never asked if i hadnt been that would have in a short conversation, what i want. Is to have a judge who doesnt want to take away the job of a legislator that account a legislature thats accountable to the people republican senator ben sasse said barrett independence on the bench was one reason hell support for confirmation and why he says barrett has support from legal scholars who often disagree with her the notre dame law faculty as i had people unanimously recommend you. And joining us now to talk about all of this David Mckeown a Political Science professor at sonoma state university, thank you for being with us tonight professor, so most observers felt that today was really just the senators on both sides reiterating their positions on various issues did you get any feeling that there was anything of real substance. It came from the nominee tonight today. I look at you think horn now a nation 1. 8 1880 of obviously when Justice Ginsburg came up. Some years ago when she was nominated to the court. Nominees dont want to say a lot about specific cases and about issues of the day now there was a discussion about roe v wade in terms of being a super precedent the idea of a super president in the scholarly legal field about certain precedents that cant be touched like brown people order marbury versus madison that was very insightful because the judge justice judge merrick did provide some information about how she feels about the roe decision but youre right at least in terms of the lead at this really was about the senators on both sides of the aisle campaigning for president in 2024 and campaigning right now for 2020 and whats in just a few weeks because david the bottom line is theres nothing democrats can do to stop this nomination right. You nailed it there really is nothing they can do to stop this nomination and mitch mcconnell, the leader of the senate will bring this nominee to the floor when he has the votes now there will be a little bit of a pause it does move us closer to the election itself, but theres very little that democrats can do other than to kind of slow go this so as we move forward over the next 2 days and wrap this up and then come back next week for a vote. Its a virtual slam dunk that that. Judge barrett will become Justice Barrett. As a professor of Political Science though were you concerned about some of the things that she did not answer for instance, whether a president can delay an election whether intimidation at the pose of polls is allowed. Whether a president can change the election date. We are we are led to believe that those are things that are loss. Thats right or whether there could be a peaceful transition of power if the president loses the election kind of a bedrock of american democracy these questions in which she demurred until she was pushed a little bit and you would think that in this environment given the pandemic given the protests in the streets given the historic nature of this particular election that of judge that judge barrett could at least move forward on key elements of what we all agree or superprecedents not of legal theory, but super president s of democracy meaning like the transition of power access to the ballot key elements of our democracy that people have been battling about for years that we think are is all these are key questions and you would think that that judge barrett would be able to say rather than rule on these things i think that access to the ballot. The power of peaceful transition of power key elements of our democracy these are things we all can agree upon. One thing that kept coming up over and over among the democrats will see for double care act and the Supreme Court is expected to hear the case right after the election. So democrats are trying to pin her down on what she may or may not do with that right. Thats right and you also have an element here the person who was not in the room and that was President Trump President Trump was mentioned by both sides over a 100 times today and that means that what is happening with the ac a with obamacare after the election or that the movement of justices on the Supreme Court or federal judges period have to meet certain criteria in the white house to be moved forward and part of that criteria is are you willing to move forward against obamacare or to sia and there really is not a quid pro quo here, but there is set of legal opinions judgments, arguments and essays if you will that nominees put forward like judge barrett where its very clear what their positions are and that theyre willing to visit many of these things it doesnt mean a ca gets overturned. It means you have another vote of someone who is willing to listen to the arguments about overturning a sia and certainly democrats one of the press very that today. Policy matters like a sea will is one thing but lets go back to those key elements of our democracy youre a Political Science professor does that trouble you are you concerned that a nominee could not say i will stand up for these key principles of democracy. Yeah i think that one thing that has to happen is you have to press the nominee any nominee regardless of policy about where we Common Elements what things we do agree upon and that is access to the polls, the ability to cast a ballot that is unfettered that theres that theres an intimidation and for that vote count that the equality of opportunity per to participate in the franchise of citizenship is something that is regardless of deal radiology that all democrats republicans should agree upon and this is where there could be rather than a 24 minute speech by ted cruz about the bill of rights and then asking her whether she speaks Foreign Languages there could be a real discussion about what we all agree upon as americans especially 3 weeks out from the most historic important election of our lifetime in a generation if not ever. 3 weeks from today is election we can maybe look at the polls and speculate that. President trump loses hes behind in national polls. The democrats take the senate which they appear to be on track to do of course all of these polls could not pan out in 3 weeks and there it is on the Supreme Court so we could have a democrat. White house senate and house and a conservative Supreme Court. Whats that going to be like. Yeah, i mean if you think about this that thats why this particular moment and all of your questions so far this is whats so important because lets a pop the size that President Trump loses maybe republicans lose the senate. Nancy pelosi gets a slightly bigger caucuses of democrats in the house and folks have been willing voters have been willing to move to something a little bit more in terms of one party controlled to see what that looks like. But what you really have here is a test for democracy and a test for the nation to not only be responsive to those voters and their preferences but to deal with this pandemic what does that look like this is a key element and moment and the most historic one that weve seen in a long long time and thats also evident today in dc at this hearing because it also goes to what the gop looks like coach trump. What is the conservative movement look like post trump if democrats lose they never have gotten over what happened in 2016 what does the Democratic Party look like next, so the generational change that we saw from a 48 yearold nominee to the Supreme Court has been a federal judge for 3 years an Appellate Court judge for only 3 years this is a moment of dramatic change which captures if you will the next 3 weeks and what happens in the aftermath of whatever happens on november, 3rd. Professor mckeown we always appreciate your analysis. Thank you for being with us tonight on kron 4 news at 10 oclock thank you. Thank you very much members of the Senate Judiciary committee will have another opportunity to question barrett tomorrow starting at 09 00am in washington dc which is of course 6 oclock in the morning here in california.
