supreme court for years to come as a leftist constitution. so if they know justices who was that? it was doug. i was going to say hillary clinton s doing everything in mind to have a democratic senate and this is one of the reasons, that democrats take over the senate, somebody like garland will be able to get through this process quite easily, but i think allen nailed it, she s going to have a choice of doubling down on garland or perhaps an asian-american and sticking it to the republicans in another fashion. i believe we ll have our ninth supreme court justice in 2017. douglas, i wanted to and is there an incentive if you know if you re a justice and you know you re seat is not going to be filled does it lead you in a way to retire or not to retire? of course there s politics in things but if you re not going to you know, health is what usually gets people, but hillary clinton has one post to fill and she s probably going to have
there are two implications. nobody is going to retire from the supreme court. we re going to have 90-year-old supreme court justices. nobody is going to leave if they know their vacacy is not going to be filled. hillary clinton will appoint the first asian american and the republicans are going to be the ones not allowing an asian american, when a large number of americans are voting for the asian-americans. and the republicans will lose if she does this. so douglas, cruz isn t the only threatening a scotus blockade. here s clinton last week. i promise you that we will be united against any supreme court nominee that hillary clinton, if she were president would put up. i promise you. he later walked that back. is there any historical precedent for this? no, this would be a again,
different reasons, but you know, the dysfunctional nature of washington, the inability of congress and the president to work together on anything, you know, is has been you know, it s certainly been a major factor for in donald trump s rise, but the perception that we need to throw the you know, the all the rascal out, that s why he got as far as he did and were it not for his manifest flaws on so many other fronts he d probably be doing a lot better against hillary clinton who, for better or worse, is seen as somebody whose been around for many years and is an establishment figure who s part of the system in washington. douglas, if the country agrees with that, then why don t they elect people who can work together? well, look, first off, on that whole broken argument, barack obama has a 55% a prappr
practices corrupt? they re unseeming and they create an appearance the american public is entitled to look at but coming from donald trump making these arguments, looking at it his history, if he would bring to the white house the way he has conducted business throughout his career, it would be far worse so one has to always make comparative judges. you heard him mention doug band, how he helped run what he called clinton , inc, pulling i lucrative deals for in-kind services for hospitality, vacation and the like s. that standard practice, in-kind services? what was going on here was sustaining a lifestyle that bill clinton had become accustomed to, flying around the world, collecting large sums of money for talks and speeches, staying
after the former president. right. for iraq. why is it always republicans wanting to prosecute democrats? they re believe me, there are democrats who want to pro t prosecute republicans. they never followup on it. no it s the radical wing of the democratic party that loses, that got that. if sanders got elected he would probably do that. with the republican party it s the radical wing of the republican party nothing would happen? i think there is only a radical wing of the republican party. these days there s recenterous wing of the republican party. you have a new york attorney general democrat clinton supporter, erik smiednyderman, has launched an investigation during this election. there s plenty to go around. what do you say, douglas? i m going to be a little bit hopeful, which hillary clinton wins, which polls look like she s going to, that country rallies behind her and they ll
