clinton. these are democrats appointed by clinton and obama. from ginsberg with 96 votes to kagan with 63. now republican nominees by bush 43 and now president trump. from roberts with 78 to brett kavanaugh with 50.senate democrats have been much less likely to cross the aisle and vote for a republican nominee the republicans have been to vote for democratic nominees. let me also point out some of those were below 60. the filibuster was not used until neil gorsuch to change the number from 60-50. so the change senator mcconnell made to the rules on the supreme court, really caused us to be much more partisan in this. chris: but in fairness, you did it first in 2013. not for the supreme court but lower court judges. i agree.
where trump won, know what i think about this process. chris: we were talking before we came on the air and i see you have a list of all the people that the president said were on the list of potential nominees. what s your point? here s my point. this was a list compiled in november but he put it out during the campaign.there are twentysomething people on this list. i m asking chuck schumer, name five, name three, name one that would be okay with you. brett kavanaugh was a mainstream judge. i would have chosen him had i been president. bush supported him. everybody running for president on our side believed brett kavanaugh and neil gorsuch were outstanding conservative jurists. so chuck, you want someone new, look at this list and see if there s anyone you agree to. but what you want to do senator schumer is overturn the
process. chris: we were talking before you came on the air and i see you have a aist list of all the people the president has said is on the list of potential nominees. here s my point. here is the list he filed in november but he put it out during the campaign. there are twentysomething people on this list. name five or name one that would be okay with you. brett kavanaugh was a judge i would have chosen him bush supported him everybody running on our side believe that brett kavanaugh and neil gore such were great and the other side wants to cancel the election so if you want somebody new then see if there is anybody he agrees to what you want to do senator schumer? you pick the judges we will not let you pick the judges if you want to pickt d judges then you need to win the white
ginsberg with 96 votes not the republican nominees of bush 43 and now president trump and kavanaugh with 50 senate democrats have been much less likely to cross the aisle to vote for republican than republicans vote for the democratic nominee. but you also pointha out even thoseom were below 60 the filibuster was not used until gore s itch. so that rule to the supreme court caused us to be much more partisan. chris: you did it first with the supreme court in 2013. but of course, republicans blocked president obama.
in the white house but among some people particularly the 2011 obamacare decision where he ruled in his opinion that the individual mandate was a tax as opposed to a penalty and said we don t have the jurisdiction to hear this case because the tax doesn t kick in until 2015. laura: he is a circuit court judge. judge amy coney barrett has written about it. then there was an idea that he was very tight with the bushes. he met his wife ashley in 2001 and talked about that day because i was here at the white house when we are all told to evacuate the white house because they thought there was a plane coming in here. it was flight 93. people thought he was a little bit too tight with the bush administration. the fact that he actually nominated him and put him out there with such conviction as he did tonight really was quite extra ordinary.
