Focus on the loss of the justice and her enduring legacy. Jedediah overnight, hundreds gathered at the steps of the Supreme Court to mourn Justice Ginsburg. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has ordered flags to fly at halfstaff at the u. S. Capitol. Shannon bream has more on her remarkable life and the legacy she leaves behind. I, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, do solemnly swear. She might have seemed small in stature as the second woman to be nominated to the u. S. Supreme court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trailblazer for womens rights and a champion for civil liberties. Ginsburg was born Ruth Joan Bader on march 15th, 1933. In a working class neighborhood in brooklyn, new york. The daughter of nathan and celia bay der. Ginsburgs mother died when she was just 17, the day before she graduated from high school. It was one of the most trying times in my life. But i knew that she wanted me to study hard and get good grades and succeed in life. So, thats what i did. She finished first in her class at Cornell University where she met and married Martin Ginsburg an aspiring lawyer and, quote, the first boy i dated who cared that i had a brain. Like her husband, ginsburg pursued a law degree and enrolled in harvard daughter jane Columbia Law School where she graduated in the top of her class. She stayed in the world of academia and while at Rutgers University she gave birth to son james. She soon left rutgers to become the schools first tenured law professor. She described the 1970 as a time for womens rights. I was fantastically lucky to be born when i was and to be in the right place to help advance this movement for womens equality. She went on to create the American Civil Liberties unions womens rights project and as general counsel for the aclu, ginsburg began appearing before the Supreme Court. She argued six cases for womens rights before president jimmy carter nominated her to serve on the u. S. Court of appeals for the d. C. Circuit. Then in 1993, president bill clinton nominated her to the nations highest court. She was only the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court and the first judicial woman. What a long way we have come in this nation. After a series of hearings, the Senate Confirmed ginsburg to the post by a vote of 963. And Ruth Bader Ginsburg i believe the nation is getting a justice who will be a guardian of liberty for all americans and ensurer of equal justice under the law. Known to lean left of center and caution restraint in her decisions. While she never claimed to have a favorite opinion. My favorite opinion is a little bit like asking me which of my four grand children. [laughter] ginsburg said the ruling in the Virginia MilitaryInstitute Case which predicted the state from operating an allmale institution with taxpayer dollars gave her tremendous satisfaction. That was a very satisfying opinion for me to write. And her dissent in ledbetter v. Good year tire was a precursor for the ledbetter fair pay act which Congress Passed into law in 2009 to addressed a perceived pay gap between men and women. She suffered losses, too. In an interview with new republic she said if she could overrule one decision it would be the 2010 Citizens United rule chicago allowed corporations and unions to financially support candidates running for office. Ginsburg said, quote i think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be so thats number one on my list. In her personal life ginsburg battled four separate cancer diagnoses. In 1999 it was colon cancer. A decade later pancreatic cancer, in 2018 she underwent lung cancer surgery and in 2020 she announced she was undergoing chemotherapy for liver cancer. My colleagues so rallied around me and made it possible for me to go on and not miss a day in court. Outside of court, ginsburg loved opera, a passion she shared with conservative Justice Antonin Scalia and was famously sara nateed by domingo in 2011 where she earned honoree degree she worked out twice a week with her trainer. My father came to the United States when he was 13. And he came from a small town outside owe des. Is a she was also very proud of her jewish heritage and advances made for american jew us. For some years, jews were careful about things who they were, but today you can say it openly and with pride will. Thats, i think, something i witnessed in my own lifespan. And throughout her life, she remains an optimist. We still have a way to go to ensure that all people in our land enjoy the equal protection of the laws. But considering how far we have come, there is good cause for optimism about our countrys future. Jedediah Justice Ginsburg was extraordinary woman with extraordinary list of accomplishments. She faced many odds throughout her career. She battled sexism of her own when she was rising in her own career. And she wanted a better life and better opportunities for women of future generations so she paved the way for so many women when it came to issues of equal pay, when it came to opportunities that they would have in the workplace and beyond. She battled discrimination of all kinds. She was also a pop culture icon which is not always common for a Supreme Court justice. She was referred to as the notorious rbg at one point. I know everyone looked at those workout videos at some point i think bret baier our colleague had posted a photo on instagram with her with weights at one point. It was so inspirational. She was a fighter and she fought for what she believed in. Empowering people everywhere to do the same. Battled cancer as we said four times. No small task. Missed so few days at the court. And really a tribute to not only the personal dream. This is a woman who came from brooklyn, new york from lower middle class upbringing but really just empowered everyone to say you can stand up. You can fight. You can battle the odds. And you can succeed. A great message that so many need right now and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family. This is a great loss for the country. Will jedediah it strikes me that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was not only a trailblazer as an individual but the leadership of the relationship she had with Justice Antonin Scalia showed you can be totally ideologically opposed to someone and, yet, not just be cordial but friendly close with someone you disagree with its the type of relationship we need in a divided country. Here we are on the precipice we are divided issues hot next Supreme Court justice nominee. President trump has put published a list of his potential nominees. Here have a few examples of the potential candidates on President Trumps list. You have senator tom cotton. Senator ted cruz. Senator josh hawley as well as judge Amy Coney Barrett from the u. S. 7th circuit of appeals. Daniel cammeron from kentucky. Paul clement famous u. S. Slitter general and Noel Francisco the question becomes. When does this get done before the election . Pete we all want to pause for a moment. You dont want to get political right away but thats unavoidable at the moment we are at right now. Can you both recognize that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trailblazer no doubt. She fought real discrimination against women to get where she is. You have to respect that while disagreeing with probably in my opinion. Most of every opinion she has ever given can you recognize and give respect for that. We look to the future. And michigan mcconnell ixd indicated we got reports last night he is going to move this in the senate right away. Feels like if the president s party is in control of the senate this can happen right away. This is a big one, guys. For real. Not that it wasnt big before. But with gulch you were replacing scalia which is a effective live one for one. Conservative for conservative. Kavanaugh replacing kennedy who was nominated by a republican but had become the swing vote. With this you have a conservative the people you just listed will, conservatives replacing a die hard leftist on the court Amy Cohen Barrett top much the list female to replace a female potentially. We will see where this goes. This will go almost straight to the discussion of you who the senate handles it with big 2020 implications just unfolding right now. Jedediah and its going to get ugly. We have to be honest about that. Pete big time. Jedediah garland will be brought up. And the fact that he didnt get a floor vote will be brought up. Are the republicans saying Something Different this time around because it benefits them . That conversation will be brought up. And the court, you remember, President Trump won last time largely because of the Supreme Court. Many people said well, i dont know how i feel about trump but the Supreme Court picks are really pivotal. Now this places the court front and center as part of this debate and also puts a little bit of pressure a lot of pressure, actually, on joe biden to release some of those names and tell us what is he thinking about when it comes to picks. Lets take a look at a flashback spot from joe biden. He actually promised to release a name of black women he could nominate to the court. Take a listen. Updated list of no. Knees. You had said you would put a black woman there are groupings calling for you to release a list of specific names are you going to do that . One thing i hesitate to do is follow anything the president does at all because he usually does it all wrong. I have we are putting together a list of a group of africanamerican women who have qualified and experienced to be in the court. I am not going to release that until we go further down the line of vetting them as well. Jedediah yeah. Thats from june 30th. He should release them. You should be proud of the individuals that you would like to sit on the court. These are very press tinge just decisions. These are Lifetime Appointments. You should be proud of those decisions. He should put that front and center in the name of transparency as people are making a really big decision right now. We are very close to election time. This is a key important issue. Give people the information that they wants and let them make that choice. Will yeah, jed, it strikes me when our politics are absolutely taken over by identity what groups you belong at superficial levels. The Supreme Court is a place that absolutely should prioritize your mind and your character. I hope whoever the next president is, i hope whatever list that is put out, prioritizes someones legal judgment over whatever groups they might belong. To say. Pete give me the best person. Man, woman, black, white, whoever it is to serve on the Supreme Court. Its all on the line. Its really just liberty. Second amendment. Immigration. Prolife. Thats why this will be such a big battle. 44, 45 days until the election. In fact, people are voting right now in some states early. All right. Up next, investigation in the ivy league. The Education Department probing Princeton University rightfully so after the schools president said it is embedded in racism. The follow up on that coming up next. Ahhhhhhh eat like an animal.

Jedediah we are back with a first alert. Breaking overnight Police Investigating a shooting hay house party in rochester, new york. 14 people dead and two others hurt. Officers say more than 100 people were at the Backyard House Party when the gunfire broke out. No suspects are in custody and the motive remains unclear. The citys police chief says the 14 shooting victims are expected to survive. And several homes are destroyed after a wildfire spreads to a mojave dessert community in california. The bobcat fire growing to 72,000 acres. Mostly driven by strong winds and warm temperatures. This as investigators consider charging the people who spark the el dorado wildfire after a firefighter is killed while battling the flames. Authorities say a device used during a Baby Gender Reveal Party started the massive fire earlier this month. And overnight a 4. 6 magnitude earthquake rattled parts of Southern California where the fires are burning. There are no reports of damage. Over to you, bill. Will thanks, jedediah. Now continue to credible story. Princeton university is under investigation by the department of education after the schools president says racism is embedded in the school. In an open letter, princetons president writes racism and the damage it does to people of color nevertheless persists at princeton as in our society. Racist assumptions from the past also remain embedded in structures of the university itself. Joining us to discuss is commentary writer for the Washington Examiner tiana lowe. Thanks so much for being with us. I cant imagine that a department of education investigation is what the president of princeton anticipated when he said this but yet, here he is. Is this deserved . Is this for real . Is it for show . Is this investigation going to turn up something, tiana . So, sources familiar with the investigation tell me it is not politically motivated. I mean, obviously, this is devos sending a very clear signal that words mean things. If you are going to go on a public flatulation tour to score points. The Civil Rights Act the department to investigate cases where universities mishandled sexual misconduct. If a University Says we throw away rape allegations they would be investigated in two and a half seconds. This is a new president , sure, but its one that is kind of justified. I mean, consider, if you are saying that racism its not that it happens at princeton but it is embedded in the university, the department argues that they are legally obliged to investigate it under title 6 of the Civil Rights Act. Very similar to investigating sexual misconduct. Will jonah goalberg Fox News Contributor if mcdonalds said their burgers were rife with salmonella you might want the usda to look into that. Princeton says they are right with racism and here comes the department of education with an investigation. They are saying based on the admitted racism the usdoe prince concerned equal assurances in Program Participation agreements from at least 2013 to present may have been false. So, in other words, tee anna, help me understand, they have been telling the doe, no racism here. And now they are saying publicly no, there is racism. Im curious, what could the doe find in an investigation then . So, mind you, princeton has a 26 billion endowment and the u. S. Taxpayers are giving them tens of millions of dollars. This is not mcdonalds where you go willingly as a consumer. We are giving them this money. What could turn up . They are looking for records requests with regards to the his industry of this letter, staffing discrimination, because, mind you, there was an open letter from hundreds of
