looking at it candidate, we can t just look at whether or not they are qualified but whether or not they re going to apply the laws of our land in an equitable manner. i think that s where the problem lies with his nomination. tucker: he s qualified but he shouldn t be allowed to sit in the supreme court. kerry, do you think that he is the best possible nominee that president trump could have found for this open seat on thebe supreme court? i think he s an amazing choice, not just because we commented on, he s very well-qualified for this but there is more to it. this making sure someone has anm approach to the constitution which is faithful to its original understanding, faithful to the text of the laws. i he showed that today in spades, he talks a lot about the o importance of judicial independence, the importance of putting law before politics. all judges are going to come to a decision they don t like some of the time, the jugs to make their to make sure you re following the la
same principles he doesn t know what to my car to, everyone t knows what they want to hear atp the hearing. i ll follow the law, i will follow the constitution. he has that record to prove it.a and to prove it in cases where he was getting political pressure, people who were taking him to task at this time, we don t like the result he reached but at the end of the day it s about coming to the right legal result in the fact that he s done it for ten years is greatsu evidence that s something he s going to continue on the court. tucker: this judge is going to sit on the supreme court i think no matter what, my question to you is democrats are putting on a show of fightingrt his nomination. can you imagine a judge, a conservative judge, who you support? is there anyone donald trump could realistically nominate who you would say okay, i support this guy? i can t think of a conservative judge at the top of my head that i would support. i can think of a judge who would be more bipartisan
putting your personal politics for a spirit of all of those things are the reason he has broad bipartisan support. the democratic senators love him so much but people like obama s acting sg talked about with a fair-minded judge he is i think he has brought it support like in colorado as well.ac people who know him best. tucker: isn t that sort of what you want? i heard senator after stender state today i don t like the conclusion that you reached, and i saw judge gorsuch say i don t really like the conclusion i reached either. i m not revealing what ie thin, but it s possible i don t agree with myev own decision but is consistent with the law and that is my job. why is that out of bounds? i think the problem is he was very evasive in a lot of his answers. i think he s trying to appeal to that bipartisan support. the biggest problem i had with one of the answers he gave when he wrote a speech for the former attorney general gonzales who concerned national security and whether or not
acts of a few. for example, we are not after dylann roof, who murdered nine people in a church in south carolina. we don t say all white people are terrorists. tucker: slowdown. i m not saying all hispanics are terrorists i m not saying anything like that. you re the one who explicitly compared federal immigration authorities to nazis, who is using the dog whistle here? who is making statements? they are what to mark your calling fellow americans citizens federal law for are you really and officer? why would you say something like that? what i m doing is comparing the plight of my great-grandmother who came here from austria to escape hitler s gas chambers to the same fate as my honduran neighbors who come here escaping violence from their country and just want to build a better life. tucker: that s not what you re saying, let me read you a quote, this is from yesterday from the city paper from baltimore.
you re stuck, watching spinning wheels and progress bars until someone else scoops your story. switch to comcast business. with high-speed internet up to 10 gigabits per second. you wouldn t pick a slow race car. then why settle for slow internet? comcast business. built for speed. built for business. tucker: the elaborate ceremony that is the supreme court nomination hearing continued today. judge neil gorsuch presented himself as a neutral arbiter of the law and will not expose his own thoughts on any contentious issue. democrats played the opposite role by aggressively questioning him at every turn. i had a career in identifying absurdity. [laughter] i know it when i see it.
