But it is still so controversial here, gayle, that the congressional staffers, the white house said, helped to draft it are reluctant to acknowledge it publicly. All right, nancy, thank you. President trump plans to announce his nomination to the Supreme Court tonight in a prime time address in the white house. Sources tell cbs news the president is now deciding between two federal Appeals Court jumps. They are neil gorsuch from colorado and Thomas Hardiman from pennsylvania. The Supreme Court first to identify the judges on the president s short list, jan, good morning. Reporter good morning, down to two judges whose background could not be any more different but they have one thing in mon, both are considered solid conservatives. I think you will be very impressed with this person. Reporter with President Trump just hours away from announcing the Supreme Court nominee. One is straight out of central casting with degrees from halve vast and oxford, established credibles, jump neil gorsuch had the philosophy modeled after the justice he replaced. People talk about the profession. I often have a difficult time understanding the analyses. Not just with justice scalia. Reporter a conservative that sided with religious believerers. With the obamacare contraceptive mandates, he argues for the sanctity of life. Our nominee today is Thomas Michael hardiman. Reporter also on the short list, judge Thomas Hardiman of pennsylvania, his nomination in the fall of 2006 to the federal Appeals Court was so controversial just one senator attended the hearing. Our role as judges is to interpret the law. Reporter hardiman is considered a law and order judge and favors gun rights. Hardiman is blue collar. Hes the first member of his family to graduate from college. Notre dame with honors. He put himself through georgetown law driving a taxi. He would be the only justice outside of an ivy league. I think we should have people from other law schools. Its all harvard and yale. Now, mr. Trump said yesterday, hes already made up his mind, but whichever judge hes chosen, democrats are ready for a fight. They are vowing to block this nominee, just like republicans blocked president obamas nominee of merrick garland. Charlie. Face the nations John Dickerson is here. John, how is it with the development of the immigration ban even within the trump admnistration . Well, dangerous and risky, i dont know. The danger would come from overseas. For example, john mccain said that the ban was propaganda for isis. In margarets report you have state Department Officials agreeing with that. So thats where the danger comes in. In the sense this steps up a religious fight between a christian United States and muslims. But in terms of internally inside of the administration, donald trump gets to fire his attorney general if the acting attorney general wont enact or carry out the laws. Thats not thats significant, though, because even though its within his rights to do that, it is a central question of the new actions hes taking. What is he owed because hes the president , and what do people who believe what hes doing goes against their values. But beyond the comparison total saturday night massacre in 1973 and the firing of the acting attorney general what we were talking about this morning, you have reports now that department of Homeland Security john kelly left out of the loop. General mattis incensed over this. Rex tillerson the incoming secretary of state was upset about this. The turmoil was inside his own cabinets. Thats different. But youre right. What we have is a policymaking process in which chaos may be a perfectly fine byproduct for an administration that has come in and wants to thoroughly disrupt things but the bottom line, people have to look over their shoulders. There are reports that work was done, republicans on the hill, without republican staffers telling their bosses. Its it creates a culture where everybody thinks theyre going to be countermanned. Or if you read in the papers, with various quotes from Administration Officials people have to worry about being thrown under the bus for unpopular opinions. So everybody is suspicious. And that makes it hard to get work done. And it looks having improvisation may be a feature and not a bug. Thats what were learning about the Trump Administration. Certainly, donald trump has thrived in chaos throughout his career. So thriving in chaos may not be something that he personally is that upset about. But it does create a nervousness and frustration in other parts of washington. What do you make of president obama speaking up . He had said before he would not speak up unless he thought core values were at stake and now ten days later he speaks. On a scale of 1 to 10, i talked to one is who said when asked how nervous are you about what the Trump Administration is doing, they said 12. But if the Trump Administration wants to make this a political fight not the question of values but left versus right, theyre happy to have the president in the fight. With the two nominations of the Supreme Court, will meet with satisfaction, not only among the present core supporters but also the Republican Party . Absolutely. And thats why if you see any split between the president and republicans on this question of the travel ban, that would be back together by the fact that they would be supportive of his Supreme Court pick. Thank you, john. For tonight, the president announces his choice for Supreme Court. It begins 8 00 eastern, 7 00 central here on cbs. Were learning more about the frenchcanadian University Student accused of killing worshippers inside of a morph. Canadas Prime Minister trudeau joins mourners. Anna, good morning.
