Isabel wilkerson entered. Washington journal continues. Host we are back with richard , who is here to discuss with us the history of president s Court Roosevelt packing attempt. Good morning. Lets start with information for our cspan viewers. What does the constitution say about the size of the Supreme Court . Guest nothing, really, except that there shall be a Supreme Court and achieve justice. The number of justices is left of congress to prescribe. Host the only people who can decide on how many justices sit on the Supreme Court is the congress of the United States . Guest thats right. By ordinary legislation subject of course to the president s veto. Host what size did the Supreme Court start at . The constitution requires a chief justice. How many were there . Guest six at the beginning. It was an even number. In those days the nation was divided into judicial circuits. In those days the Supreme Court justices had real duties in each circuit. With respect to any given circuit. Co
Senator from alaska. Ms. Murkowski mr. President , i want to start with a personal you this to you as the thank you to you as the presiding officer for indulling me for an additional few moments here so i may speak this afternoon on the nomination of judge Amy Coney Barrett to be an associate justice of the u. S. Supreme court. And while i intend to share with you my intentions on how i will vote, id like to start by just expressing my disappointment with where we are in the senate as a whole right now. Theres been some good discussion hering this morning as were considering discussion here this morning as were considering the unanimous consent agreements, some statements made, but not action moving forward. I i had hoped that if we were going to be at this moment in time just over a week out from our national elections, that we would be here on the floor debating debating the merits of a receive relief bill. And in my home state of alaska, as in so many states around the country, were
Associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. I will be voting in favor of her nomination, and i urge my colleagues to do just the same. As was made clear to millions of americans who watched her hearing, judge barrett has the temperament, the modesty, and the humility that we should all expect in a judge. She approaches cases without bias or personal agenda. She made that very clear to almost every question asked to her by every member of the Judiciary Committee. Most importantly, judge barrett understands the proper role of members of the judiciary and our constitutional system of separated powers. That is, a judge should interpret, not make the law. Making law is under the constitution the responsibility of the congress. Not the Supreme Court. She also made that very clear in almost every question that she was asked by members of the Judiciary Committee. Judge barrett has an impressive command and of course a respect for the law and the constitution. Clearly from her testimo

I have trumped the video, it may surprise you, this is the crowd lining up for the president s event in florida, it is absolutely endless. And to impact largely mass close crowd, the president danced up a storm, he should his apparent boundless energy, the man is back, he is planing two or three events a day until the election. Then theres joe biden he went to ohio, forgot mitt romneys name, said he was running for the senate in question the memory of voters who say they are better off now than they were four years ago. However, the main event obviously, the hearings fo
As well. They appear to be imply caughted in what is implicated in what is another deep state coverup. Both agencies had knowledge of joe and Hunter Bidens relationship with burisma, and both agencies buried it. Thelations come in the form of revelations come in the form of newlydiscovered emails extracted from a computer hard drive. The computer had been abandoned at a Computer Repair shop in delaware in april of last year. An fbi subpoena shows the laptop and its original hard drive were taken, seized by the fbi in december. And intriguingly, that subpoena came a day before the radical dems started their failed effort to impeach President Trump. Had it not been for the Computer Repair shop owner who backed up the laptops hard drive, the contents of the computer likely would have never been seen again. At least seen by the American Public. The smoking gun email pulled from the laptop is a message sent to hunter biden by the number three executive at burisma. The april 17, 2015, email
