People should be encouraged by is all of the people who were on the list that President Trump put out when he was still running for the presidency are incredibly established jurists very much in the mold of scalia much like nile gorsuch. Word is that it has come down to 2 or 3 finalists. Bret kavanaugh who sits on dc circuit, Raymond Kethledge on sixth circuit and amy cony barrett on the seventh court of appeals. All of them have their different qualifications and points in their order but may come down a bit to the president and which way he goes in terms of his connection with them when he met with them. Paul dan, Bret Kavanaugh has been on dc circuit, has the most experience, kethledge 51, amy barrett 46. All in the age that they would be in court for a long time. He was with the Bush Administration, and therefore that somehow disqualifying for Supreme Court, what do you make of that . I would say at this point if they are fetching about kavanaugh serving in the Bush Administration, they are getting greedy because these three people are excellent. Lucky if we get any one of the three of them. Bret kavanaugh grew up in washington, went to school in yale, came back to washington, it should not be a mark, he was secretary to president bush, he was the one who brought him papers and things like that. Really no basis hes made decisions on the whole range of constitutional law over 13 years, a lot of decisions, one or two exceptions people sometimes think his decision on obamacare let to Justice Roberts decision with obamacare, mandate was attacked, that was held against him. Paul thats not true. He associated himself with johns decision not the basis on how they ultimately decided. Maybe the bush thing, bill, it was 8 years. Yeah. Paul if youre a republican who we wanted to play politics, wanted work in government, what are you going to do . What other administration are you going to go to . Look at the other justices, the administration they served. I worked very close with Bret Kavanaugh. Hes very conservative. I think although i like them all and i have heart for amy barrett. Very few people go with decision hes had. 12 years on the bench. People will be satisfied whichever one jurist is pick. We will not get anthony e kennedy, how close to scalia these people are going to be. Paul he belongs to a christian group, volunteer group called people of praise and thats been on the left criticized as somehow weird religious cult. Tell us whats the real story . The real story is exceptional level of religious ignorance by those calling this a cult. This is a Spiritual Forum of the type that millions of christians belong to across the country. Its a group of people who want to take outside regular sunday church, help out each other. Its a very common place thing. Look, this is going to be emblematic. When it comes to Juris Prudence they are topnotch. They will go after questions of biography. Paul kethledge is less known than the others because he has worked out on sixth circuit. He has written on property rights, strong con cities constitutional background too. Kethledge and kavanaugh have the most experience. Hardiman interviewed the first time, hes somebody who has an appealing background, likes him personally, maybe not the same level of jurist prudential and talent. The big fear is someone will be put on the court and then they will become a kennedy or a sutter and go the other direction. All of them were in 20s. Sutter and kennedy were appointed 30 years ago. This is a generation, all of the judges are aware of story, they are acutely aware of what scalia represented, this is a different generation of judges and i think they understand and are not going to go there that those are not going to be that optimism.

The future of america is at stake. Let me be clear to all of you, and let me be clear to america, we are down in this fight but we are not out. Paul thats just a sample of the democratic rhetoric ahead of President Trumps announcement monday of his pick to replace kennedy. Grassroots groups on the left are planning to mobilize against nominee immediately with protestors set to swamp Senate Offices prezzing lawmakers to oppose the pick as on as it is announced. Bill, is there any way that any of the names that donald trump has on this list will not spur that exactly. I find that very heartening because seems to me that theyre verifying in backhanded way the character and ability the people on Donald Trumps list. The big problem is every republican senator has veto over this pick. They need all republican votes. I dont think they will get any democratic votes unless they get the majority, have 50 votes themselves. Paul show they have 50. Susan collins an his a murkowski have made noises on roe v. Wade that would affect different candidates. That has to be the president s calculation in the pick. Is anyone going to be a problem in the senate among republicans . We know the democrats will not the bulk of them are not going to vote for anyone and even the ones who vote, for example, amy barrett the last time, tim kaine, he has made clear he will go the other way this time. Paul they only have, what, 49 votes. Well, look, they know its an uphill fight and this is a biggest for chuck schumer, its his job to keep them united. If they were to lose a vote there, theres potential to derail a nominee and derail this Supreme Court strategy that the white house has which could be very devastating to republicans were that to happen. That is his goal, keep troops on board, whoever the nominee is, pair them down, finds something that makes them unacceptable and having mobilize into midterms. Paul keep the pressure on, enough of a fight, negativity that to the say this person is unacceptable that you scare this is going to be intimidation. Two people, lisa murkowski, Susan Collins, they will be hit over and over, roe v. Wade, womens right to abortion and try to intimidate them. She has said she want today know whether these justices are going to overturn roe v. Wade, beyond that point, if they said turn Something Back to the state i dont think thatll be sufficient. Paul i dont think we dont know. Im going to Pay Attention to it but im not going to tell you how im going to rule. Joe donnelly is running in a very tight race in indiana. If they satisfy the base by voting against they may pay. Paul why are democrats thinking its Something Like armagedon. They think they wont be kennedy swing vote. Much more conservative than anthony kennedy. The era of activist judging arriving to conclusion and figuring out reasoning later is coming to an end. Liberals for about 50 years have been using the courts lawsuit to achieve policy. They will find a big backstop there at the Supreme Court after one of the nominees is confirmed. Paul kim, briefly, what do you make of democrats running in trump states, do they have a lot of stake here and they will basically tote the party line . No, when we were salking about Susan Collins but the pressure on them will be more intense, some of them are on record having to voted, manchin voted for her, donnelley voted for her and this is a tough choice for election prospects and how they handle the base. Paul thank you all, when we come back, a look back at biggest decisions in the last term and how the justices ruling in janus is affecting public union.

We just heard oral arguments for one of the most important cases in u. S. History. The case of freedom of speech for government employees, fundamental protection of political affiliation and free speech. Paul illinois governor at Supreme Court earlier this year following oral arguments in the case of janus versus the American Federation of state county and municipal employees. The justices waiting on rule on landmark case until final day of term. Illinois state employee mark janus, a big one and public union in defeat in an effort to collect fees. Governor joins us from chicago, welcome, governor, great to have you here. Congratulations on the janus victory. Let me ask you, its risky given power of Public Employee unions for governor as yourself to take on ask me, why did you do it . Well, its one of the primary reasons i decided to run for governor. Government union power has been disrupting our State Government and hurting our taxpayers for decades. The system had to change and i fundamentally believe that the forced dues collection from state employees who did not wish to join the union and did not support political activity, it was unconstitutional and thats why one of the first actions i took when i became governor in early 2015 was to issue executive order to stop the collection of the dues and i also proactively sued ask me to start the litigation process. Paul okay, now that you won in court, whats the impact going to be in your state, what happens next . Well, we have a immediately stopped collecting the dues for 7,000 state employees who did not choose to join the union. So those dues are no longer collected and the typical state employee is paying almost a thousand dollars, a little over 900 an average per year in dues. We also have set up a website to outline state employees rights under the new ruling from the Supreme Court, we have communicated with all state employees by email to let them know of rights and obligations. We also have issued answered to frequently asked questions and we are being contacted by many state employees interested in learning more about what the rights are now that they have newly restored freedom of speech and freedom of political affiliation and state employees are making decisions now whether to opt in or opt out of the due, the dues paying and the union membership. Paul so as i have looked at the evidence in wisconsin and michigan, for example, which changed the obligations of state employees some time ago, about a third of government employees, roughly decide today drop out and not pay the dues, is that your estimate of what might happen in illinois . Well, paul, its hard to know for sure how things will evolve. We will see, we will know more in the coming few weeks. I will say this, illinois is unusual because weve had such corruption in our state, so much selfdealing and conflict of interest between Government Union leaders and elected politicians. To give you one quick example, former governor who is still in prison who proceeded me by several governors, he went to state employees and he said, if you join the union, i will give you 4 annual dues, if you dont, i will never give you a raise as long as im governor. He basically extorted state employees to join union against their will. We will see those who come out, unfortunately whats happening as a result i have managers in State Government who are making less than their staff underneath them and its a broken system. We have to restore good government, Good Management into the system. Paul we are seeing some places like new York State Legislature is moving to be able to compensate the union for whatever losses fees through taxpayers for ability to collectively bargain, i assume thats a nogo . Absolutely. I would stand against anything like that. It show you how broken the system is. What they are interested in Political Support and advocacy for Government Unions. People spin me as being antiunion. This is not being antiunion, its conflict of interest. If they say i give you millions for campaign, state employees to work for campaign and when you get the office, we will then negotiate a new contract. If that happened in private sector, somebody will go to jail. Im the first governor not taking money from the unions. Paul how do you think it would work in second term if you happen to win . Enhance our ability to work in good faith with state employees. What i have said to state employees, i would like to pay you more money but i dont want to do it based on sen orty seniority, lets stop this seniority system and lets stop protecting employees who arent working hard. Lets get real rewards who those adding value for taxpayers. Itll be exciting time for the state of illinois. Paul i assume the speaker to run the show in springfield. Well, hopefully thats right. Madigan has been in power since 1971, speaker for 35 years. Very corrupt and he has been been political domination from Government Union activity and the Supreme Court was so right when they said all Government Union activity is political by nature, all of it and now we have stopped that violation of forcing people to support it if they didnt agree with it. Paul thank you so much for being here. Thanks, paul. Paul still ahead, President Trump marks the sixthmonth anniversary with gop tax cuts with hints of more to come.
