Fast. After republicans refused to even consider president obamas nominee for the seat. Merrick garland. The republicans wouldnt even hold hearings for nearly a year. Some democrats calling it a stolen seat. Both the president and judge gorsuch know they are in for a tough fight. As this process now moves to the senate, i look forward with speaking with members from both sides of the aisle. To answering their questions and to hearing their concerns. I only hope that both democrats and republicans can come together, for once, for the good of the country. And you hear him say for once, now that hes president now, its not president s nominee being discussed. So a different set of standards democrats would say there. Nevertheless, the first Courtesy Call from judge gorsuch with senators begin in just hours. Lets bring in Laura Jarrett live from the white house. The white house did a very good keeping this a secret. And the theatrics surrounding it very well orchestrated. Thats right, john. As the president announced last night, neil gorsuch has an Impressive Academy background. Hes got degrees from columbia, harvard law school, oxford. He spent his teenage years in washington, d. C. Incidentally, his mom was the first woman to head the Environmental Protection agency. He clerked on the Supreme Court for justice kennedy. And his judicial philosophy isnt a secret. Hes described as predictively and socially conservative, much like in the mold of the late justice scalia. He believes in following an original interpretation of the constitution. Now, on some of his more notable cases he was one of the original judges in the hobby lobby decision where the 10th circuit ruled that corporations can refuse to cover Birth Control under their employees Health Insurance plans. That ruling was later uphold by the Supreme Court. He was somewhat of a sleeper choice up until recently. He wasnt even on trumps original list put out in last may. But in the past several days we heard he was rising to the top. And republicans are just thrilled with the choice. The Senate Majority leader mcconnell came out last night saying this is an outstanding choice. But Chuck Schumer was more measured, the Senate Minority leader. He came out and said, look, we need to see how this goes. And we need someone who is going to stand up to President Trump. Well see what happens. More democrats at least does seem theyre going to have hearings on judge gorsuch which is much different than what happened with Merrick Garland. Lawyer remarks thanks so much. Lets discuss with former prosecutor for the middle district of georgia. Michael moore is back with us live from atlanta this morning. Good morning. Good morning. So what were hearing about judge he has a really solid legal pedigree. No one is questioning the legal mind of judge gorsuch. But you hear from the right, hes an outstanding choice. What you hear from the left, nancy pelosi, the democrats, hes outside the mainstream. Which is it . Well, i think youre right, nobody can question his credentials. He has a Great Academy pedigree. Hes developing a reputation on the bench for writing wellreasoned opinions. Theyre scholarly. Hes an audit textural. In other words, he believes that the words mean something. He believes we ought to look at the intent as we interpret the constitution but he also gives great deference to the legislative branch. Hes been known to say in the past, really the liberals are counting too much on judges and courts to affect their social policy as opposed to the ballot box. In other words, liberals maybe ought to look at how they win elections, let the legislators write the laws and let the judges interpret them. Its interesting, though, hes also known to say he doesnt think judges should pigeonhole themselves. And for one Ideological Group or another. He thinks thats a bad thing. He thinks that an ideologue misses what we call the gray areas of the law. I think we have to nominate who is clearly aegdly qualified to sit on the bench. At the same time, weve got somebody who says i dont want to be pigeonholed. But my opinions seem in line with a conservative judge. I want to listen to something judge gorsuch said. Hes a man known as a great writer. If you can get that title, a conservative thinker. But hes talking about what he see as the importance of the Supreme Court and why his work is so important. The Supreme Courts work is vital not only to a region of the country but to the whole. Vital to the protection of peoples liberties under the law. And continuity of our constitution. The greatest charter of human liberty the world has ever known. Its interesting if he is confirmed it will mean that all nine justices, again, went to Ivy League Schools which is interesting. Hell be the only episcopalian on the bench. The others are christian or jews. And hell be western. He comes from the ooeft i think kennedy is from sacramento but the rest of the justices come mostly from the east. So there will be some geographic diversity at least. Its interesting to see that. Do you think that there will be hearings, we think. Democrats will allow hearings. And this is a man good with words. Is he likely to impress given answer questions in public . I think rightly so. Even the rollout last night. And i give judge gorsuch in the remarks that he made. I think hes clearly an impressive nominee. And he is a wordsmith. He has a way getting his word across and make a compelling comparison nor the cases hes writing or and his own story. Theres no question as we look back i think anyone would say Merrick Garlands were mistreated. He often didnt even get meetings with the senators. Hopefully, Going Forward the senate will meet with judge gorsuch, and i think ultimately, his nomination will advance. I think the democrats need to weigh that out very carefully as we think about the nuclear option. Whether or not thats a rule change in the senate that would affect the ultimate vote required for him to move through and receive confirmation. But i think hes an impressive candidate. Im not sure hes the one that the democrats need to pick a fight over at this point. Thanks for stopping by. Facebooks chief operating officer Cheryl Sandburg is condemning President Trumps travel ban as, quote, particularly unforgiving to woman. In a Facebook Post sandburg wrote the executive orders written over the past week defy the heart and values that define the belt of our nation. Families have been separated. Frightened children have been detained and separated without their parents. People seeking receive few have been turned away. We heard tim cook telling wall street journal in an interview, the apple ceo, hes going to ask and has asked the highest reaches of the government to revoke that travel ban. Its been difficult for his employees. Hundreds of employees affected and its just wrong. You wrote a piece on cnn. Com which i recommend to you which discusses the fact that ceo in businesses weighing in on values more than we have seen in the past. Thats shareholder values but moral values suddenly, you hear Business Leaders talking about dignity and business culture. And this, of course, all follows at least more recently the fallout over the travel ban. The white house trying to get out ahead of the optics of this now. And also trying to sort of shift the language, saying that the ban is not in fact a ban. What do they want to call it now . Thats next. Mountains, and racetracks.

This morning rng the Trump Administration is defending the rollout of its travel and refugee ban which they now say is not a ban. But thats a whole other story. Cnn has learned the department only got to see the final draft of the ban the day it was signed. I want to bring in cnn politics ror dan merica live from washington. I do think it was notable, dan, the administration really trying to get out in front of this story. The press conference along with the department of Homeland Security, several officials one after another coming to the microphone saying everything is under control here, weve got this. Yeah it seems like kelly and department of Homeland Security are trying to help him out here. Members of his own party are acknowledged this is a bungledout. It caused chaos at airports. And led to massive protests. And this all caught when the white house seems to be focused on whether or not we should even call it a ban our not. Take a list ton sean spicers exchange with reporters yesterday at the press briefing. You say its not a been this was President Trumps tweet yesterday if the ban were announced he says its a ban, right . Hes using the words that the media is using. We didnt hold on. John, thanks, ill let kristin talk. It cant be a ban if youre letting 1 Million People in. 325,000 people from another country cant come in, its by nature, not a ban. Its extreme vetting. So youre confused . Im not confused. I think the words being used to describe it derive from what the media has been calling it. Hes been very clear its extreme vetting. Sean spicer not exactly on solid footing here. Donald trump tweeted calling it a ban. And sean spicer himself said in multiple events that it was a ban. Well see sean spicer and the president later today. I imagine this will come out. No doubt. Dan merica for us. Dan doing reporting. The president appears to have cancelled a trip scheduled for wisconsin to visit harley davidson. There are reports of a protest there. Now the president will not be going. I would think that harleydavidson is a good photo op for the president. Its made until america. Robust. Wisconsin, swing state. Wisconsin dont say wisconsin like that. Thats a north dakota accent. Also, we go to washington. Good morning. Good morning. I thought that rollout, ive got to say, before we get to a ban, when is a ban not a ban or the three little letters. Ive got to say that the judge gorsuch rollout was really sort of the movie president ial such a meticulous rollout in prime time, 8 00 p. M. Hes getting high marks for this, isnt he . Yeah, you know, it was interesting the way he pushed it into prime time. A lot of people thought it it was going to end up being a reality show style of thing. It was very president ial, despite the hour. Before you get to the ban if you compare the rollout of the Supreme Court nominee to the rollout of the travel ban, its pretty stark the difference there. One, you know, was done in secret. And they didnt consult with anybody in the federal government. Or within their own party. And here with gorsuch, they clearly had a methodical process where they went through and found a justice that was going to make a lot of people in their party happy. I think thats an interesting contrast. And i think people will say the unity that this will create within the party. Theres been chaos and people critical over the ban, they were always going to come together and support this pick, as long has he gets it right. As far as theyre concerned he did get it very, very right. The democrats with a way different view. Listen to nancy pelosi. She doesnt have a vote on his. But shes clearly influential. She was part of the cnn town hall with jake tapper, lets listen. Its a very hostile appointment. The family, well meant, im sure. If you drink food, take medicine or in any other way interact with the courts this is a very bad decision. Well outside of the mainstream the american legal thought. Do we know how hard democrats will fight on this . I just want to say about nancy pelosi, that was interesting, this was less than an hour. There was secrecy. They didnt officially know, it was clear that democrats were ready for this, ready for this particular pick to say as much as they possibly could about him. Weve already seen i think this is pretty remarkable weve already seen democrats share ground and some others say theyological oppose him without even met with him. A lot of this i think is going to be carryover from Merrick Garland, president obamas pick who republicans filibustered essentially for a year and denied even a hearing and wouldnt meet with the guy. There might be sour grapes that carry over too. Can we talk quickly about the talking points, with the white house, a ban is not really a ban, where do we go with that story line today . Clearly, sean spicer is going to be asked again about that. Absolutely, i think at some point, the word ban is going to become a semantic thing. There are people out there who used to be able to come to this country not abe to come to this country. You can call it swhafr you want. I think sometimes, we may get lost in the words here. Words that were presented many ties by the white house and administration over time. But that aside. Zach wolf, great to have you with us. You, too.
