I had been general counsel to the American Civil Liberties union for several years. Favor. E was 963 in my my biggest supporter on the Judiciary Committee was not senator biden, although he was certainly in my favor, but it was orrin hatch. I think today he would not touch me with a 10 foot pole. [laughter] friends, but if it came to a vote on me, i dont think he would be the supporter he was in 1993. With stephenr breyer when he was nominated the next year. This was well into the 90s, a vote in his favor. Theas not been that way for four most recent members of the court. On both sides of the aisle. I wish there was a way i could wave a magic wand and put it back to when people were andectful of each other congress was working for the good of the country and not just along party lines. Someday there will be great elected representatives who say enough of this nonsense, lets be the kind of legislature the United States should have, and i hope that day will come while i am still alive.

The American Civil Liberties union for several years. The vote was 963 in my favor. My biggest supporter on the Judiciary Committee was not the then chair, senator biden, although he was certainly in my favor, but it was orrin hatch. I think today he would not touch me with a 10 foot pole. [laughter] we are still friends, but if it came to a vote on me, i dont think he would be the supporter he was in 1993. It was similar with Stephen Breyer when he was nominated the next year. This was well into the 90s, a vote in his favor. It has not been that way for the four most recent members of the court. And it has been on both sides of the aisle. I wish there was a way i could wave a magic wand and put it back to when people were respectful of each other and congress was working for the good of the country and not just along party lines. Someday there will be great people, great elected representatives who say enough of this nonsense, lets be the kind of legislature the United States should h
Justice ginsburg when i was growing up, the first branch was very different than it is today. And that persisted. I think back to 1993, when president clinton nominated me for the good job i now hold. I had been general counsel to the American Civil Liberties union for several years.

Classes for you. Futures in the United States, the s p 500 on a three day losing streak. Look at the euro. 1. 08. The politics, the risk diminishes a little bit. A confluence of different pressures taking us there. Alix part of that has to deal with the new pressures. The pound, look at that, 1. 24. That is up 0. 8 . Gold is going nowhere. It is treading water. Crude oil is up about 0. 6 . Jonathan we start with the French National debate last. Macron and le pen coming out on top. Our Deputy Europe chief covers french politics joining us now. Lets start with macron. Where did he strike his blows . I would caution you on saying this is an actual win for him. He went into this as a potential frontrunner, tied with le pen. What he needed to do was maintain that position. It is fair not to say that he maintained that position. Two polls since the debate last peoplehow that 29 of thought macron did best in the debate. That is better than anybody else. That is a good thing. He probably conso
Anyone might get a free pass to american citizenship but heres the thing. Millions of people who have come forward and worked to get right with the law under this policy have been living here for years too. In some cases even decades so leaving the broken system the way it is is not a solution. In fact that is the real amnesty, pretending we can support 11 Million People or build a wall without spending tens of billions of dollars of taxpayer money is abetting what is really factually incorrect. If it is not going to work it is not good for this country. It is a fantasy that offers nothing to help the middle class and demeans our tradition of being a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. In the end it is my firm belief that immigration is not something to fear. We dont have to wall ourselves off from those who may not look like us or pray like we do or have a different last name, because being an american is about something more than that. What makes us american is our shared comm
