Calendar. There is not one argument they have made that can apply there. In my view, that decision was made in november 2013. For 200 years, the standard for confirmation of a federal judge in the United States senate was 51 votes. That is how the constitution has operated, its how the senate has operated for most of this countrys history. Indeed, no Supreme Court justice in history has been defeated because he was filibustered. The only arguable example is a nomination that was withdrawn in the face of the scandal. No justice in history has been filibustered. The notion of filibustering federal judges was largely the invention of Chuck Schumer in 2001 when george w. Bush became president and Senate Democrats then began unprecedented filibusters of federal judicial nominees. I hope that next week the democrats do not choose to filibuster judge gorsuch, a candidate for whom they voted unanimously just a decade ago. If they do, i am confident the senate will return to the rules that gove

I respect that in our legal order, it is the congress and not the court to write new laws. It is for us to apply, not rework the peoples laws. A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge. Stretching for those he prefers to those the law demands. Tucker ted cruz of texas valves that he would get this nominee chosen for anything. He joins us tonight from the white house, senator, thank you for coming on. Congrats on the new show by the way. And all the success. Tucker i appreciate that. Is this the judge he would have chosen for the Supreme Court . I think judge gorsuch is a home run. Im very, very happy.

Its remarkable, this is been the most transparent promise weve ever seen for a Supreme Court
So, is it business as usual for i. C. E. . Or is it something more . We have really done a great job.

To his Campaign Promises because over the last week, i. C. E. Arrested over 700 aliens. Including those convicted of murder, Sexual Assault on children, drug trafficking, dui, and weapons charges. So, yes, i. C. E. Is busy. But there is zero evidence showing that emigration agents are doing more under the Trump Administration then during the obama administration. In fact, the numbers show they are not doing nearly as much. Considering last week, the nationwide i. C. E. Operation targeting convicted criminal aliens netted 680 arrests in march of 2015 under president obama, a nationwide fiveday operation netted more than 2,000 criminal aliens. Under the eight years of george w. Bush, more than 2 million illegal aliens were departed. Under president obama, it was well over 3 million. Experts say the difference now is fearmongering, like fall social media reports of people being arrested on their way to church, or about raids and sweeps that never happened. Secretary kelly says nobody is g
