Hardiman. he is only 53 years old and he s important because the president really liked his personal story. it was the first in his family to graduate from college. he drove a cab for a while. and the president liked what he could bring to the table. he was the runner up last time around. and there are two other people we don t think that they re in play tonight, largely because they re in their home states. but one was ray kethledge. he was considered gorsuch 2.0 because he shares the same judicial philosophy as neil gorsuch and scalia. finally judge amy coney barrett. president trump put her on the bench for the lower courts. she doesn t have a very big track record of opinions, but she has a lot of academic writing on religion. and some people here thought that maybe she would be a vote to overturn roe v. wade. and that s what these protesters are talking about tonight on both sides of the issue, anderson. are there any potential wild cards at this point? ....
Unveiling? everybody is looking for everything. you know, i think all of these choices are completely conservative as we know and it will be interesting to see whether the president is interested in how potential judge feels about presidential power or life story or whether he is interested in a woman who has been vocal about the question of abortion, whether he is going to go with somebody that s kind of more bland, a gorsuch 2.0 as one of the judges has been referred to. so it s interesting. conservatives are saying trump can t go wrong. i think trump wants to find somebody he feels comfortable with. i think he is looking to fill another campaign promise, i think that s a shortcoming of what s happening. you can pick out the ideology of each supreme court justice, this is telling us a president can cherry pick who he would like to have in terms of the mind of the supreme court. either way, a proactive punch ....

Despite the earnest promises of justices roberts and gorsuch at their hearings. so when they say they will obey settled law, you can t believe it. you can t believe it. because it just hasn t happened in this new conservative court. that s so eager to make law, not interpret it. and there s a second reason, maybe even more important why the principle quote. i ll follow settled law no longer works. that s president trump. we already know that president trump s nominee will be repaired to overturn the precedence of roe v. wade. we know that because president trump has said so. when the president has a litmus test for his nominees and only chooses from a preapproved list ....
People on the list. another one is ray kethledge. he s also 51 years old. he s been on the bench for ten years. he s considered gorsuch 2.0 because of his philosophy that matches gorsuch and matches a little bit antonin scalia. then we have tom hardeman. he was the number two last time around for justice scalia s seat. the president really liked him for his personal story. first in his family to go to college, drove a cab. he has a big second amendment case people like. and finally, amy coney barrett. she s new on the bench. trump put her in a few months ago for a lower court. she doesn t have this long list of opinions, but she s got a lot of writing that she did at notre dame. a lot of that writing is on issues regarding religion. during her confirmation hearing, senator diane feinstein talked about her religion a little bit f you remember. ....
