wade, here is judge kavanaugh back in 2006. if confirmed to the d.c. circuit, i will follow roe v. wade. if i were to confirm the circuit, i will follow and confirm. i understand, what s your opinion? you are not on the bench yet. you talked about this issue in the past and other people i am sure. the supreme court held this repeatedly and i don t think it is appropriate for me to answer that. you heard them then, what about now, travis? do you anticipate any changes if he were to be a justice. the answer of a confirmation hearing will follow along a line of a precedent setting a clear rule of speaking generally about fears and approach to tes
president should not face criminal investigation. no investigation of a president, is there any wonder that president trump chose kavanaugh from the list of 25 when we know he s obsessed with this investigation? why did the president stick with kavanaugh? because he s worried that mr. mueller will go to the court and ask if the president be subpoenaed and ask to do other things necessary to move the investigation forward and president trump knows that kavanaugh will be a barrier to prevent that investigation from going there. that s the worry from a number of democrats, travis, you tell me how do you interpret kavanaugh s executive power. i know judge kavanaugh and 12 years on his d.c. kcircuit and e has seen a lot of cases involving separation of powers
win over senators for his hearing, he faces intense opposition from democrats and chief among their concerns how kavanaugh would vote on women s reproductive rights and what s left on the affordable care act. with judge kavanaugh as nomination, the president has put women s productive right and vital healthcare protections particularly those that protects families at preconditions at grave risk. if confirmed, he s the most conservative justices in supreme court history. his views are outside the mainstream and there is every reason to believe he would over turn roe. lauren fox is with me now from the hill. do the democrats have any chance to block kavanaugh. what are you hearing on the
hill? mitch mcconnell has a tough task ahead. he has to hold his conference together and he does not need any democratic support to do that unless he loses those republican moderate members. i talked to lisa murkowski, a republican voted at times we related to healthcare and abortion rights. she s going to be pouring over his record and meeting with him one-on-one. i asked her if she s comfortable of where kavanaugh was on the issue of roe v. wade. here is what she had to say about that. first look is that he s certainly has the qualifications. i don t have an impression on judge kavanaugh as to where he may fall on the issue of abortion. again, that s why i think all of
and the administration of state. there is a deep record of to look at in terms of what he says the law is. i want to point out of a talking point that s been spreading and that s what minority schumer said there. while he was a sitting judge and in that article, he did not state as view of what the law currently is. he advocated or suggested a policy change that congress may choose to make if it wish in order to change and have the executive branch may interact with investigations that would be going on. i do think it is important to know when people are making statements of judge kavanaugh views and investigation of a sitting president, the view expressed in that article were expressly views of what could be if congress wanted to change the rules and not views expressed about what is and that obviously is a critical difference. that s a fact check on that talking point. the big picture, if trump is
