I am delighted to be moderating this incredibly timely conversation about a terrific book written by teethree about our history going to the most recent with kavanaugh and then outlined the possible path forward and when i read the book for the first time so professor Randy Barnett scooped me on those words thats how he described it as the indispensable guide and then also waiting the judicial confirmation and network book about the recent fight of Justice Kavanaugh.

To the stories that you have told, including the story of veronicas family. Very moving. If i were a justice, the commitment i would make to you and to all people affected by follows is that i would the law as you enacted it, and i have no agenda. I would not be coming in with any agenda. I would do equal justice under the law for all, and not try to force or disrupt in any way the quality choices that you and your colleagues have adopted. Sen. Hirono so are you saying that the impact of the Affordable Care act on the millions of people who rely upon it, that you would deem to be policy considerations that we should address . Sen.

You watch this unfold since friday. What concerns you the most . I think again there is an area where the president might think that he is able and its hard to know how the president is doing and what the side effects of the medication might be. Still not incapacitated enough that the 25th amendment was necessary going to kick in. But theres a potential were the president has been paired but not incapacitated and that is what worries me most now when we m

Now live to the senate floor here on cspan2. Mr. Lankford mr. President. I have three requests for committees to meet during todays session of the senate. They have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. The presiding officer duly noted. Mr. Lankford mr. President , we are once again in a conversation about freedom of religion and the free exercise of religion and what that means. There is simply i would argue that it means the ability to have any faith, to have no faith at all, change your faith, and to be able to live it out. The ability to have a faith as a part of who we are. Its our most precious possession within us. Its not that. If its something less than that, the free exercise of religion has limitations on it, then its simply the freedom to worship or to have a name fa
