i think this is an activist court. getting rid of roe v wade was an incredible thing for pro-life. simply because people disagree with an opinion is not a basis for questioning the legitimacy of the court. is the u.s. senate confirmation process to blame for polarizing the entire judicial branch? what you want to do is destroy this guy s life, hold this seat open and hope you win in 2020. donald trump, mitch mcconnell and their republican buddies are shoving aside the wishes of the american people in order to steal the supreme court seat. is the court now out of sync with the american public? a court that s already pretty illegitimate is going to be in full crisis mode. and now new questions of ethical standards. have the justices damaged the court s reputation further by failing to disclose financial relationships and gifts from wealthy donors? the perception of the american people is important to me. the highest court in the land should not have the lo
demonstrations in the coming days. people here are encouraged to come back tomorrow. all right. donee in d.c. let s head to los angeles where camilla is. we saw abortion rights supporters marching on the freeway there. what s the latest now, camilla? reporter: hey, don, we were on the freeway for about 15 or 20 minutes, but lapd officers sort of blocked the protesters from continuing to walk on the freeway and kind of push them back inside of downtown l.a. and that s where we are right now. the crowd is still fairly large as you can see. you can hear the cars honking. many people shouting. they are screaming and saying, you know, our body, our choice. they took a water break and just like in washington d.c. organizers here in l.a. also getting ready to do this all over again tomorrow. they are already organizing and saying they re going to gather in the afternoon and a lot of them just saying they want to call the attention to what is happening here in los angeles, in cal
decision, news of that broke and the u.s. and all around the world. we ve seen thousands of demonstrators pass through this area outside the supreme court today. you know, when we were here first earlier this morning, there were groups from both sides of this debate and anti abortion activists were here celebrating as we reached into the evening, it was pretty much exclusively hundreds, possibly thousands of proabortion choice activists. the crowd really has dwindled out now. speakers just finished talking but say come back tomorrow. they want people back here tomorrow. what we did see here today, don, is a huge security presence across washington d.c. i will say that it was very, very different to the security presence we saw in washington d.c. on the morning of january 6th. there was police all over the city. some demonstrators also this evening marched from s.c.o.t.u.s. through washington and came back. so we are likely to see more demonstrations in the coming days. people
Then President Obama had seven new cabinet level officials confirmed. Trump only as of right now has two. Do you think that youre going to be able to stop some of his nominees, or are you just trying to slow down the process . Well, let me say this. First, this cabinet is unusually unique and a lot different than others. We call it the swamp cabinet, billionaires and bankers. The number of wealthy people, the number of people rife with Conflicts Of Interest and the number of people who have disagreed with what trump has campaigned on is so much more than just any other cabinet weve seen, and so that means they need thorough review. Thorough review so they dont have Conflicts Of Interest, thorough reviews so we know, for instance, is dr. Price going to try to privatize or end medicare when trump campaigned against it . And and are republican colleagues, i dont blame them with this cabinet, have tried to rush it through. Advise and consent does not mean
very easily be confirmed who have
He is a heck no on trump care. Im a heck no on this. I think theyve got problems with the vote. Ive personally spoken to 29 of my conservative colleagues who are no on this as of today and were not even counting the moderate republicans who are a no. I think theyve got a lot of arm twisting to do between now and thursday if theyre going to pass this bill in the house. Does he sound scared to you . Because congressman massey was in the room today when donald trump came to the House Of Representatives to urge republicans to vote for the bill. Here is how congressman massey describes tough guy donald trump. Threatening and pushing around all those republicans who oppose the bill. He was very charming. There was some lighthearted jabs at his opponents in the room but it was all in good fun. Lighthearted jabs. That ought to do it. Thats what tough guy trump is delivering to republican opponents of his bill. Thomas massey doesnt claim to
be a tough guy the way donald trump does, but he certa
