Guest thanks for having me. We heare of the terms from this preparation process is the war room. Can you tell us how neil gorsuch has been prepared . Guest he has been preparing almost since he was nominated. People are very aw preparn that i have spoken back throughs gone his articles he has written, and he has looked at case law. Obviously, he has done the murder boards, as well, which we referred to a lot. It is basically a mock hearing. Officials play the role of each senator, and it is to get the judge prepared for the grueling he will take in the spotlight this week. The specificas people involved, who is involved in the preparation process . Guest a lot of people. Thethe office leading preparation is the office of white house counsel. Role fored a Crucial Supreme Court nominees. Another persons former senator kelly ayotte of new hampshire. She lost her reelection last november, but she has been on capitol hill frequently throughout the last couple of actto act as george as Neil Gorsuchs socalled sherpa. Throughbeen guiding him capitol hill. She has been handling a lot of the logistics. And a lot of it is just former clerks on the 10th circuit of appeals that have been helping to get him ready for what will be the biggest moment so far of his career. Host as far as preparation, isnt more about learning specific cases and how he ruled on them are more about the philosophy behind those cases or how he would react if such a case came before him . Guest i think it is a lot of all that. If you look at judge gorsuchs paper trail, he has been involved in 2700 cases and has opinionsbout 240 himself. That is a lot of paperwork to go through and a lot of decisions you have partaken in. He has to familiarize himself with all that again. He has written a lot of al opedsd, a lot of articles, speeches in the matter. He will be grilled on his record. It is a lot of going back and reviewingwhat you what you have done, looking at current case law and major hot button issues. And it is learning had to answer, or maybe even dodge, when you get a question such as would you vote to overturn roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion . He would probably say that i dont want to comment on cases i may have to vote for someday. Politicong min kim of joining us. She is an assistant editor.
