don t you, melania said to her husband, echoing a perspective held by millions of the time. melania did not believe it was true. first off, it was fun to get some of these behind-the-scenes things not just at the white house, but in the senate. we talked with so many people at the white house and in the senate to get this. what she was saying was not that surprising. she did not think she was credible. millions of americans were saying that. this is not something you were getting if you watched the news media. laura: i have to bring this up because conservatives are concerned about brett kavanaugh on the bench. a couple of cases stand out. idaho versus garza, he joined with chief justice, with liberals, and it was a plea agreement case, a lot of conservatives saying is he new kennedy? he was recommended by justice kennedy. kennedy was the swing vote.. could they have fought for the wrong just as? could this turn out to be another republican slap in the
