the senate, i look forward with speaking with members from both sides of the aisle. to answering their questions and to hearing their concerns. i consider the united states senate the greatest deliberative body in the world and respect the important role the constitution affords it in the confirmation of our judges. i respect, too, the fact in our legal order it is for congress and not the courts to write new laws. >> bill: that from last night. no leaks, no leaks. not even peter doocy got the word. live on the hill now. peter, good morning to you. do we know how much judge gorsuch will interact with lawmakers today? how many he will meet with and for how long? >> his meetings with lawmakers who may be skeptical about his nomination will be later. today it's a meeting with the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying he is confident gorsuch will join the supreme court and reminding people to ignore a lot of the noise of people who are coming out and criticizing the gorsuch
