an orthodox catholic? dogma and law are two different things. when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. and that s of concern. tucker: who are these people? senator mike lee of utah serves in the judiciary committee and he joins us tonight. senator, that looked pretty close to a religious test to me. it certainly felt that way to me, tucker. and as a religious minority myself, i am someone whose ears perk up very quickly when i start hearing questions into someone s religious belief and saying that they are of a concern to my colleagues.eo look, this was settled in 1787.o this was part of the original constitution pre bill of rights. we cannot have religious tests that determine someone s qualifications or lack thereof to serve in federal office. tucker: what would happen
$800 billion is an extraordinary sum of money. these cuts come at a time when republicans on capitol hill and hhs secretary tom price are defending their passage of the obamacare repeal and replace as an agenda or an item that would somehow improve medicaid coverage. so i don t know how exactly you improve it by cutting almost a trillion dollars from it. but these are questions that are not going to go away for republicans. as they go back to their districts, as they sit through these town hall meetings, what you re hearing is not a lot of questions about russia or the fbi investigation or jim comey, you re hearing questions about health care and these bread and butter issues that are at the front of voters minds, although they might not always be at the front of ours. jeremy, karen, short
condemns the taxi and has confidence in egyptian president faah el sisi, that he will handle the situation properly. while the president is here at palm beach spending a little bit of downtime away from washington, a couple of days after the summit with the chinese leader, alex. hallie, let s talk about the administration s plans for followup on syria. what comes after the strikes? reporter: listen, alex, that is kind of the billion dollar question here, because it has not been made clear specifically what the long term strategy in syria is going to be. that s why you re hearing questions from, for example, members of get about what the plan is, essentially. the administration has alluded to more action if and when necessary and appropriate but hasn t said what that action will be, hasn t said what the plan will be if bashar al assad were to come out of power there, and that s raising questions. you have the secretary of state being one of the most fixable
more in american life to be honest. that is a different thing than what he is being interviewed for. he is nominated for supreme court and a judge s job is not to make law. judge s job is to defend all of our constitutional rights and the bill of rights in light of the precedential questions he s been talking about. so, he has another book besides the one you re talking about. i haven t read it, i ve read in it. i ve seen excerpts in his book about assisted suicide. he has another book on the role of precedent and that s been a key part of a lot of our hearing questions today and it s pretty clear that this guy isn t running for the supreme court as if it s an election or a campaign so he could be a super senator or super precedent. he believes in law as he receives it, not laws he wishes it to be. you ve been critical of president trump particularly when he was the republican nominee. i wonder, how confident are you that judge gorsuch, if confirmed will stand up to the trump white
part of the medicaid program. assuming he comes out of committee, are you a way or a nay on confirming tom price? i can t vote for tom price. i think you saw during the hearing questions, where tim kaine, ably interrogated him. he s just out of the mainstream. he s actually he voted against the children s insurance program, which was an initiative of orrin hatch s. he is against the affordable care act. and the cbo, he cited the cbo study. the cbo yesterday came out and assessed that there would be not 22, but 32 million individual americans without health care coverage, and we can anticipate that the cost of health insurance will go up 20 to 25%. so tom price is about to take us a off a health care cliff. the republicans clearly have no plan, if they did have a plan, they would have introduced it by now. they are in the dark, with respect to what s happening between the chambers, and even among legislatives and
