way you re putting it tonight, because it suggests bad faith, as i showed, a change from the actual precedent or understood law to the opposite because donald trump wanted it and lost all the other avenues, and then him saying in writing i know i ll get overruled. so we don t want to go to court because i know i d lose 9-0. there is two points there. i can do this quickly. you have to absolutely distinguish between the election litigation on the one hand and the vice presidential presiding over the certification on the other. yes, the first category, there is all sorts of cases where you could read about that. the second category absolutely not. there are none. only there is historical examples, law review articles, that sorts of thing. the second question i wanted to get to, what was it? let s finish on the vp and then we ll finish on that. and i actually went over on time with you, which is fine. i m running over. thank you for that. when he says okay, his final view the vi
with mr. burnham, ari. the guy couldn t answer who even won the 20 tent election which seems a little bizarre, but okay, i guess. he s got a tough job to do. he is trying to do it. notably john burn so weak as to almost laughable. coup plotter is not a description for a lawyer. and if mr. burnham wants to call john eastman s efforts here advising a client or representing a client, then thing is only one word to describe that, which is malpractice, because there is a good reason john eastman is being called a co-conspirator and not a constitutional scholar. if eastman were just writing law review articles or as mr. burnham said debating some law professors on podcasts, that would be one thing. but instead, what he did is actively pressure the vice president and state legislatures to go through with the
ideology. just 38 years old, aileen cannon had very little experience for someone nominated to be a federal judge. very little. she had never held a judgeship before, she had worked as an assistant u.s. attorney in florida for a few years, but only four of the cases she worked on during that time went all the way to a jury verdict. and she had been the lead prosecutor on just two of those cases, both of them about firearms. the rust of miss cannon s resume was similarly sparse. as a new york times reports today, a senate questionnaire asked for every publish writing she had produced. she listed 20 items. of those, 17 were pieces she had written in the summer of 2002 as a college intern at the miami herald spanish language sister publication, harold. now, typically when judicial candidates were asked for work they have published they cite law review articles or opinion pieces about jewish prudence and legal ferry.

over controversial law review articles which is infuriating republicans. that s going to be a really heated fight in the coming weeks. just remember how important the courts are to this president but also particularly to senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. we have 43 circuit court judges confirmed under the president s tenure right now. about 100 district court judges. they will continue to confirm more and more as the as the rest of the term goes on. the president wants that for the campaign trail as well. judges, judges, judges. that s it for inside politics. catch us weekdays as well. we re here at noon eastern. up next, state of the union with jake tapper. his guests include peter navarro and pete buttigieg. i want to take a moment to say good-bye to a friend and long-time member of our cnn family who passed away this past week. dale fountain was the driver of the cnn express, our campaign bus and traveling studio. he was so much more than that. dale was funny, humble,
