writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government. laura, i think we are going to hear that type of language, that dystopian nightmare will be painted again. the black alley abortions, they are going to try to paint kavanaugh with that same brush. it worked in the case of judge bork because he was very defensive. he was very defensive and sharp and didn t quite know how to fight back and clear his name. laura: i remember. i was working at the white house when that went down and i loved judge bork of course. the charm factor wasn t on display during those hearings. and he kicked puppies too. i m surprised ted kennedy didn t say that. elena kagan, associate justice, she had a very interesting way of dealing with tough questions. watch this exchange from 2010. christmas day bomber. where are you at? i should ask exactly what you
road. but also want to address the point about which countries were and were not included in the list. let s remember that the total number of terrorist attacks carried out by in america from these countries is zero. zero. in addition to the ones you mentioned, there was the christmas day bomber from nigeria. the orlando bomber from afghani descent and the san bernardino bomber who was pakistan and times square from pakistan. the arbitrary nature of choosing these countries is a huge problem. and i recall theresa may speaking to the republican conference in philadelphia and what she said was not only combat terrorism militarily but the ideology of terrorism and the way to do that is by not giving in to the narrative that u.s. isn t at war with a religion shared by george w. bush that s been eroded today. i want to go to jerry nadler
