Siouxland lawyers and judges are remembering him as a man who cared about not only his career, but the legal system overall attorney klye irvin says scalia stuck by the constituion, and wasnt afraid to use colorful words to do it. Calling scalias tenure as justice as a great legacy. The fact that liberal justices were seeking to go back to history to show what was kind of in the air when the founders were putting together the constitution shows the impact thatcalib had on the court, because we didnt see that as much before scalia says kyle irvin, anderson law. Irvin says scalias death came as a shock. But even more so when conisdering the timing. Right in the middle of a hotly contested election cycle where the vacancy is causing controversy. We like to see vacancies filled because it lends stability, continuity. En theres an opening, that opening can causus delays says judge jeffrey neary. There have already been fighting words between candidates concerning who should fill scalias vacant spot. Local judge neary says the new appointment shouldnt be a political ploy. But rather an apolitical process, saying judges take an oath, regardless of Political Party they align with those people who can apply the law, and do a great job applying the law. The best in the landshould be doing thth job b respective of litical affiliationsns says judge jeffrey neary. Adding to the excitement and controversy, judge jane kelly, iowa native currently serving on the u. S. Court of appeals, has been mentioned as a potential nominee. Judge neary and judge kelly worked their time at the bench and says hes thrilled to see his colleague mentioned even as a potentntl candidate, saying hes honored at the thought of iowa being represented in the highest court in the land. That would be jusus fabulous. It w wld be a real feather in our cap to be able to have someone out of our niche to become a United States Supreme Court justice. And shed do a fabulous job if she got the chance says judge jeffrey neary. Lukas the political world also responding. Several republicans suggesting president obama should wait to appoint stice to the vacant spot. Including iowa senator chuck grassley. Grassley says hes against obama appointing a justice statatg quote given the huge divide in the country, and t fact that this president , above all others, has made no bones about his goal to use the courts to congress and push through his own agenda, the pesident should defer the appointment for the remainer of his term critics of grassley have brought up the last time this citing the Justice Anthony kennedy during regans last term as president. Lukas siouxland senator potential scotus appointment. Nebraska senator deb part of he monday in south nebraska for a qanda. The potential appotment. Fischer said, just like Supreme Court juices, we need to look at past precedent in order to make the best decision for scalias replacement. Im just looking at the process and i dont believe that the president should have a confirmed Supreme Court justice at this point in his tenure in the white house. It has been a long long time since that has happened and theres a reasas for it. So i probably would be supporting that the president not have that pointment confirmed. Says senator fischer. Fischer also spoke to nebraskans about other issues facing the nation such as free tuition and manufacturing in the us senator fischer also stopped by our studio for a chat with our own tim seaman.

Now, iraq is harvard for terrorist, you go to iraq. But trump got defensive when asked exactly when he was quoted as being against the war. donald trump r president ial candidate i said many things for a long time, but i wasnt a politician, so im not getting publicity if i say about.

But he did reflect on what has been happening during his weekly press conference. Months ago he said he didnt think donald trump was a serious candidate. But it seems hes changed his mind after the iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. Branstad donald trump is definitely an unusual candidate and hes done things unconventionally. In both parties in the tremendodo appeal of the anti establishment candidates, bernie sanders, trump aned cruz.

Remember when he called me to say how terrible the republicans have been to me and to hillary, and how unfair they were, and what a brilliant job hillary had done as a senator. So, and by the way, a lot of republicans thought that and thats why they spend the last three years trying to tear her down, because they know if they nominate her, they are going to have to eat the words th said when they werent running for office.

We surprised a lot of people in New Hampshire, were nevada. Sanders still riding momentum from his commanding win in New Hampshire prompting clinton to g gback to the drawing board. At every stop, shes telling voters sanders is focused on wall street and wall street alone. Her campaign made a video to drive home the point. hillary for america ad but so far, it seems to be working sanders exceeding even his own expectations. sen. Bernie sanders d president ial candidate the idea that i am a singleissue candidate. We are the only nation, major nation on earth, that doesnt guarantee healthcare for all people. Weve got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. Its not one issue.
