President , came out when that war started and said, we are all georgians now. John mccain was pledging, basically, that if he were president , the United States would act as if we were georgia. We, america, would go to war with russia on behalf of this other country. And at the time that john mccain president ial candidate was pledging a war with russia because we are all georgians now, at the time that he was doing that, the lobbying firm of his top Foreign Policy adviser Randy Scheunemann had u. S. , been hired and put on the payroll of the government of georgia. Thats the one time you might remember Randy Scheunemann, that might have got the United States in a shooting war with russia. But mccain didnt win the presidency and he went back to a standard government policy guy. You havent heard much about him since then. Until this week. Until this week a really, really weird story about Randy Scheunemann was broken by the daily beast. He belongs to a private skiing club in montana. I
He will appoint liberals. If donald trump is president , your Second Amendment will go away. Hold on. Hold on, gentlemen. Im going to turn this car around. I just dont think it looks good that the republicans with an eye on this president has a right to voice its constitutional responsibility. The president needs to appoint someone with a proven record similar to Justice Scalia. All in the newsroom. Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Im fredricka whitfield. The leading ideological conservative, Justice Antonin Scalia, is being remembered today. Headlines calling him a force in the courtroom, a powerful force on the bench and memorializing the Lasting Legacy that he leaves behind. He skied in his visit to a hunting retreat in texas. His body is at a funeral home in el paso. Officials say they have no reason to suspect anything other than natural causes. And the immediate question is what it will mean for the u. S. Supreme court and the cases the justices for a liberal majority a
Now setting up an Election Year fight that should shift the balance of the Supreme Court. This morning were following reaction from last nights debate. Jim acosta from washington, good morning. Good morning victor and christi. Justice scalia dead at the age of 79 while on a hunting trip in texas he was said to have gone to bed not feeling well. Found unresponsive in the afternoon. And appointed in 1986 by president reagan. First Italian American on the high court. A strong vocal conservative voice. A critic of row v. Wade and a dissenting voice in last terms samesex marriage case. Criticized recently for his comments regarding affirmative action. And who will succeed him now . And who will appoint that person. President obama said he intends to make the nomination in due time. But republicans made it clear in the senate they did it almost immediately they want the next president to fill the vacancy. And just scalias death and the battle for his replacement on the bench loomed large at
Shopping controversy and moving on to iphones and this debate over privacy and security. Trump was asked about it. He was asked about apples ongoing battle with Law Enforcement over security data on the phone of one of the San Bernardino killers. Heres what he has to say. Tim cook is looking to do a big number. But apple should give up they should get the security. Or find other people. When these two people had bombs all over their apartment, those people are as guilty as the ones who did the shooting. We got to get to the bottom of it and youre not going to do that unless we utah common sense. I like the idea boycott apple until such time as they give that information. I think thats a great idea. Thinks its a great idea. Boycott apple, thats the latest from him as he continues to lead in this state in the polls.

Kristen fisher has more in washington. Shes in total. At this hour, what are the results there in your state where you are . So far ten counties are in and Bernie Sanders is winning all of them. He was always expected to win wisconsin. This is a very prerogative, very liberal state. But what is surprising in these early results coming in is that sanders is doing very well in counties that Hillary Clinton was hoping to take. Counties that are out east, much more rural. Clinton had even campaigned in one of the counties that Bernie Sanders won. She had campaigned there earlier this week. There is a lot of boeing engineers, a lot of earospace engineers. She had been hoping which boeing benefited from, would really help her. So far based on the very early preliminary results, that does not appear to be the case. Were s
