Lawyer, william burke. However, the lawyer then says but they were okay with giving this information over. This administration isnt. Make some sense of this for me. Well, i think the thing to think about is this, im not sure at the end of the day how much difference its going to make. Partly this is a matter of arithmetic. The republicans simply have the votes. But secondly while this will be, and you can count on it, that the democrats will be following joe bidens advice, theyll be saying how can we vote on this guy until we know every possible thing about him. The crucial question will be how will he vote as a judge, what can we learn from his time on the Court Of Appeals here in the district of columbia. I think thats where the bulk of the questions will be. Whats going to be new and different about this Confirmation Hearing is questions about how far you can go in subpoenaing or possibly indicting or other Legal Process against a sitting president. That becomes important obviously because of whats going on with
bob mueller and President Trump and its an important question for judge kavanaugh because when he worked for ken starrs team during the Monica Lewinsky investigation, he had one view that you should be able to go after a sitting president. Since then hes changed his mind and say, no, president s should be beyond the reach of that sort of Legal Process, although he has said that it would take acts of congress to give them complete immunity. Danny, i want to just refer to a quote that i think weve heard before. Its not a quote but a recording weve heard of kavanaugh talking about morrison versus olson. This is a case which is about executive its about a special counsel. Its the legislation that allows for a special counsel. Listen to what kavanaugh had to say about this. Can you think of a case that deserves to be overturned . Yes. Actually i was going to say one, morrison v. Olson. Thats the independent counsel statute case. Exactly is in control of the independent counsel . Can you have this creation that lives outside of our three branches of government that has really its responsible or answerable to no one. Conservatives have long criticized it and it was effectively overruled, we say quietly in a 1997 case, an opinion authored by justice scalia. So i should caution people, dont look too closely into that criticism of morrison v. Olson as Justice Kavanaugh indicating that he would withdraw the power of the special counsel. So its not that the president cant be investigated, just conservatives and kavanaugh dont like what that law, which has essentially been overturned, does do. But i want to ask you something about settled law. Well be hearing over the next few days in these hearings about whether Kavanaugh Deems things like roe v. Wade to be settled law. We use that term a lot on tv. Whats it supposed to mean . Settled law is about the
concept of Stare Decisis. Thats the principle that you let established precedent lie. The controversy with roe is that roe is built on a weak foundation. In fact a criticism of roe is that it was decided too quickly. When the trends were changing and congress and other State Legislatures might have arrived at that conclusion without the court summarily yanking all of these Abortion Laws from the State Legislatures. Thats not my opinion, thats the opinion of Justice Ginsburg in some speeches that shes given back dating back decades. The idea is the court shouldnt be doing what legislators should be doing. Thats a core tenant of texturalism, the idea that the Supreme Court, by simply deciding that something should be a right because it feels good is overruling essentially the peoples vote through their representative government, through their legislatures. So when we talk about settled star, Stare Decisis is not the
trump was prescreened by two rightwing extremist groups. One of those groups, Executive Director has made clear that his number one goal in life is to overturn roe versus wade. The other group has made a top priority rolling back Health Care Coverage for tens of millions of americans. So these are immediate issues that will touch people all across this country. Well, for my next guest, the battle over the Supreme Court touches her family. Its entirely personal. She argues that confirming kavanaugh to the court would jeopardize her daughters life. Jamie davissmith is a photographer in washington, d. C. She joins me now. Jamie, thank you for joining me on this. Look, there are some questions about what Brett Kavanaugh would do about the Affordable Care act, but yours is a very specific situation and it refers to a 2007 ruling in which kavanaugh wrote a decision in Dotarlo Versus the district of
columbia arguing that the government has the right to make Health Decisions on the basis of individuals who otherwise may not have that decisionmaking ability themselves. Tell me about this. Sure. Well, my daughter, claire, was born in 2006 in washington, d. C. , and faced a lot of challenges, but we my husband and i always hoped that shed be able to live a life with dignity and with some right to selfdetermination, whatever that meant for her. And then in 2007 this decision came down with Brett Kavanaugh as the judge in that case and he decided that contrary to what the majority of americans and what the majority of other judges across the country have found, that individuals with disabilities, intellectual disabilities like my daughter dont even have the right to have their own wishes considered when it comes to elective medical procedures. And for me its just hard to imagine any scenario in which an individuals own wishes about their own medical care would be
completely irrelevant. But that is in fact what judge Kavanaugh Has said he believes. And if he is given a seat on the Supreme Court, its very likely that that could become the Law Of The Land and would affect not just individuals with disabilities like my daughter, who live in d. C. , but could affect all americans with individual disabilities across the country. And this case had been decided in a prior court in favor of people with disabilities. Just so we know, tell me what the practical effect of this would be on someone like your daughter. Well, there were three plaintiffs in the case. One was subjected to an unwanted eye surgery and two were objected to unwanted abortions. My daughter could be subject to any number of medical procedures as she grows older. She is a medically complex child. Shes 12, so shell soon be a medically complex adult. She does have disabilities that affect all organs in her body,
her brain, her heart, her kidneys, so its easy to imagine that she has a number of surgeries in her future. And if any of those are considered voluntary or elective, she would have no say at all in whether she wanted that surgery even if her wishes she doesnt have the decisionmaking over what she can do but in your view shes able to express desires, wants, things that she may want to have or not want and under the decision that kavanaugh made, that wouldnt be regarded . Exactly. So using the example of an eye surgery, she does have problems with her eyes. This is something that has actually happened. If there were a surgery that could perhaps improve her vision slightly but she didnt want that surgery and she could express that, maybe she doesnt like the side effects of anesthesia or doesnt like being in a hospital, she could express perhaps that she would rather live with slightly less vision
than have to go through that procedure. Under judge kavanaughs view, her wishes dont have to be considered at all. Even though its a highly invasive procedure that carries risks. Jamie, thanks for sharing this story with us. Jamie davis smith. Tomorrow join msnbc for special live coverage. Confirmation hearing starting at 9 00 a. M. Eastern right here on msnbc.

Capuano hasnt had a primary challenger in i guess 20 someodd years so for folks running in this race, yes, its about turnout but its also difficult to model and predict what turnout looks like because you dont have very much to compare it to from capuanos last elections. Both teams out here today canvassing, trying to get out the vote because at the end of the day its going to be a question of turnout. When i talked to presley a little while ago, she said she feels like the wind is at her back, but capuano feels the same way. We asked him what it says about the Democratic Party that these two are going up against each other. Heres what he had to say. Take a listen. I would tell you that the Democratic Party, like all parties, but the Democratic Party is no different, we always have issues internally. Thats what families do. Its always a struggle for the hearts and minds and the soul of the party, and once that happens, my hope is that democrats understand that we have a common enemy with people that dont share any of our
values. Reporter and so whats fascinating about this race is while presley has been likened to people like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who unseated joe crowley, this is not a direct parallel because these two actually on paper, on policy, its not like shes running to the left of him. Hes pretty much a good democrat, a good liberal here. His voters feel that he is in line with what they want. Of course trump is someone who has taken a central seat in this race. When we spoke to both of these candidates, they have spoken out against the president. But the comparison there to Ocasia Cortez for Ayana Presley is shes not looking to wait in line to run against mike capuano. She said shes someone who wants to show that she can be a new face for a changing demographic here in this 7th district, and tomorrow night well find out if thats actually the case. If you had to figure out what the beef really is that presley
and her supporters have with somebody like capuano, is it generational . Is it that they didnt theyre not fighting enough for progressive interests . Is it that theyre not kw capuano is not progressive enough . What is the actual complaint . Reporter i dont know if ive heard the not progressive enough argument made here, but this is a district that has gotten more younger and racially diverse. Presley is a black woman and she would be the first black woman to have this congressional seat if elected so i think there is an argument among presley supporters that the district is changing, the demographics are changing and they might want someone who reflects physically what their experience has been and her experience has been growing up here. So i think that is the beef, so to speak, in this race. That being said, capuano supporters would be the first to tell you that they feel like he is progressively in line with where they would like him to be on policy in d. C. As well as bringing home the bacon for his constituents here in boston and
the surrounding areas. This will be a great race, well watch it closely tomorrow. Thanks for reporting on it for us.

There have been 32 indictments, 5 guilty pleas and two people behind bars. One of those guilty pleas is from former Trump Campaign advisor George Papadopoulos. On friday he is set to appear before a federal judge. Over the weekend his attorneys filed a 16page Defense Sentencing Memo alleging that mr. Trump and Attorney GeneralJeff Sessions approved of the meeting between trump and Russias Vladimir Putin during the 2016 campaign. Joining me now is joyce vance, former u. S. Attorney and msnbc contributor and john laurel, former federal prosecutor. Thanks to both of you for being here. Joyce, i was talking to somebody, a lawyer on friday maybe, who said to me that Rudy Giuliani carrying on about this 60daytime limit before an election is either 99 wrong or 100 wrong. But those are the only options there. There is not a rule that
prevents an actual indictment or an actual report from coming out from the Justice Department if it is not with the intention of influencing the outcome of an election. Thats right, theres not a rule in this regard. What there is instead is a prudential policy of restraint that doj imposes on itself to carefully scrutinize actions that are taken within some window leading up to a federal election or a State Election too, not necessarily 60 days, but for prosecutors to think about whether the actions that theyre taking are necessary at that point in time or whether they might unduly influence the outcome of an election. So, for instance, we have a situation here where people could potentially be indicted who are not on the ballot and doj would be under no situation to consider those situations. But mueller will be very p
prudential and think through whether actions he takes will affect elections. John, former federal prosecutor yourself, so is Rudy Giuliani. He obviously knows this stuff, but Rudy Giuliani has now for a few months been saying things that are contrary to the law, but hes not doesnt seem to be all that concerned with that. He seems to be waging a campaign in the Public Sphere that isnt all that concerned with the law. I dont understand the strategy. If any of this stuff shows up before a court or a judge, theyll soon find out what Rudy Giuliani has been telling the people isnt exactly the case. I think his approach is a Public Relations approach. Its not based on what the legal situations are. The Justice Department can do what it wants. But Mueller Cannot want to be criticized in any way of having an effect on the election, so my suspicion is hell hold off until after the elections. Lets talk about papadopoulos a little bit. Joyce, this thing has gone back and forth. Papadopoulos we thought was cooperating. The investigation seems to not feel that he gave up as much as he could, but agreed to a Sentencing Recommendation of between zero to six months. His attorneys now saying this guy in fact ill read a little bit of this. Papadopoulos attorneys on the meeting with putin saying while some in the room rebuffed georges offer, mr. Trump nodded with approval and deferred to mr. Sessions who appeared to like the idea and stated that the campaign should look into it. It almost looks like theyre trying to squeeze any juice they can out of this lemon to look like they were cooperating. I think that thats true and its dangerous to take this sort of a statement at face value. Its really very vague and says it appeared to be and looked like this. Thats not what federal prosecutors look for when they want cooperation. Theyre looking for evidence that can be backed up with hard proof that can be used to make additional cases. So that, i think, is the distinction between what we see with papadopoulos and what we may see in other cases where defendants have in fact cooperated with prosecutors. This is one of those instances where the Trump Administration any time anybody gets arrested or charged with anything, they throw them under the bus and say they werent that influential. It might be George Papadopoulos wasnt that influential. The bottom line is i want to listen to what the Prosecutor Says at the sentencing. Thats going to really reveal what his cooperation is. The one thing i would say, if he was really going to be a key witness in the trial down the road, he wouldnt have gone to sentencing. They would have held that off until the actual testimony so he would get the benefit of that cooperation. Joyce vance, this new tweet by donald trump, hes been tweeting about the Justice Department for a long time and Jeff Sessions for a long time. Now its Jeff SessionsJustice Department. Again, there are a lot of people like you and like john who have worked for the government who have who have taken this very seriously who feel that this undermining is dangerous for the system and there are others who say, look, donald trump is all hot air and talk, its not really corroding anything. Whats your view of it . Its reprehensible conduct by a president. Our criminal Justice System is about fair consideration of crimes, not about using the system for a president , for instance, to protect his allies or to punish his enemies. Trump seems to believe that the Justice Department is his to command, and its not. For him to continue to undermine it really undermines a fundamental American Institution without which we are much less a democratic nation. The republic will be worse off if trump continues on this course unchecked. The problem, john, is that if the Justice Department wishes not to be politicized like the fbi, which the president targets all time, that means they have to stay out of this fray. We havent had a single comment from Robert Mueller the entire time. Jeff sessions has generally stayed out of it. He did comment a week ago where he said the Justice Department will not be politicized but ultimately nothing else can happen. The only answer is charges, indictments, grand jury performance. As professional prosecutors, theyre doing the absolute right thing which is not to make a comment, not to engage in a political tit for tat. The bottom line also is these charges were brought by local u. S. Attorneys offices that are independent from the department of justice. So its hard to say to the Attorney General you are responsible who has recused himself from things having to do with this in particular. Exactly. For example, the local Attorneys Office here in manhattan brought the Michael Cohen case. So it shows the independence of the local offices trying to do their job and do it without any political influence at all. John, thank you. Joyce vance, thank you as well. Up next, were heading to milwaukee, wisconsin, where thousands of workers and Trump Supporters are feeling the economic consequences of the president s trade war. Theyre telling us what they want from the president as they face tens of millions of dollars of potential losses. Youre watching msnbc. C. How can we say when you book direct at choicehotels. Com

They said i had afib. Whats afib . I knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. I needed answers. My doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected from a stroke. Oncedaily xarelto®, a latestgeneration Blood Thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. Warfarin interferes with at least 6 of your bodys natural bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor. For afib patients well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. It may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. Do not take xarelto® if you have an Artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. Before starting, tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures and any kidney or liver problems. Learn all you can to help protect yourself from a stroke. Talk to your doctor about xarelto®. Festivities are under way all across the country to celebrate todays holiday, including in wisconsin Where Thousands Of Motorcycle Enthusiasts took part in Harley Davidsons 115th anniversary celebration. Harley announced over the summer it would move some of its Motorcycle Production out of the United States as a result of trumps trade policies, policies that are now becoming Major Campaign issues in states like wisconsin. Vaughn hillyard is in milwaukee with the latest. First of all, i want to see vaughns picture. Last i saw him he was getting
drenched. Lets see. Lets see him. There he is. Hes not getting rained on. Vaughn, you just ran into senator Tammy Baldwin. What did she say about this . Reporter yeah, senator Tammy Baldwin, shes a democrat, and she is one of those vulnerable senators up for reelection this november. Well, theres so often attention paid to the president s approval ratings, ultimately you have to look particularly here in the midwest from the senate race in ohio up to michigan. Here in wisconsin when it comes to the issue of trade, we were here yesterday at a Harley Davidson parade. There were 6,500 biker, more than 100,000 folks that have been impacted by the likes of this trade war. 55 million in losses is what Harley Davidson is looking like as an impact of the steel and aluminum tariffs but also the eus tariff on motorcycles going into the eu. This is what senator Tammy Baldwin told us. I agree with tariffs on china when they cheat. But theres no reason why we
should have pulled in mexico and canada and the European Union in those tariffs for steel and aluminum, especially when were seeing retaliation against wisconsinmade products and harm to wisconsin workers. Reporter now, there is Harley Davidson, to be clear, ali, they are planning to increase production overseas for their motorcycles that are sold over in europe specifically. I asked a couple folks yesterday, a couple riders here from wisconsin about that very fact. Its a huge issue right now and theres a lot of people that are very concerned about it and whats going to happen to u. S. Companies as a result. I am going to continue to vote republican because i agree with most of their policies. If long term this kind of stuff continues and we keep pushing jobs offshore, thats going to be a problem. How long until it would cause me to vote the other way . Reporter correct. I dont know. Id have to see. Reporter do you understand Harley Davidsons decision to
move some of their operations overseas . Absolutely, i do. For keep costs affordable for everyone that wants to purchase their vehicles. Harley davidson has put up a lot of money too, i feel, to keep the costs down. Reporter that second woman that you heard from there, ali, she works in a dealership in michigan and rode in for the weekend. As you heard, oftentimes theres acknowledgement that some of these policies are currently hurting the folks like them, they said at the same time theres others like that first gentleman that said hopefully in the long run it works out and there are still other policies that theyre voting on, not just simply this trade war. Vaughn, thanks very much for your reporting from there. A very interesting story. Vaughn hillyard in milwaukee. Labor day was created to celebrate the Labor Movement and the American Worker. Thats what were celebrating today. President trump marked the holiday by tweeting that, quote, the worker in america is doing better than ever before. But 2018 has actually been a tough year for workers on a
couple of fronts. Lets go back to the other screen n june the Supreme Court ruled that Public Employees have the right to opt out of union and stop paying dues. While American Workers are earning more money, the cost of goods and services are rising. Youve got a 2. 7 2. 9 increase in the cost of living and a 2. 7 increase in wages. So you can see that youre actually not earning more money. Joining us now to take a closer look at this is one of the nations foremost labor leaders, randi weingarten. Good to see you, ali, happy labor day. The president keeps making these comments about job growth and how the worker is doing better. The worker in america not only stagnated but was set back during the recession, finally started to make some of that ground back in 2015, 2016. As we see from the numbers,
inflation is back too. Gas prices are up, Education Prices are up, Health Care Prices are up. The worker is not making as much money as they can to overcome those other increases. So the president is kbeer empire kael incorrect. You see a correlation when you have a strong Labor Movement like in new york, you see wages go up. When you dont have the density, you see that wages have really stagnated. And then when you look at what happened, for example, in West Virginia, the teachers went out on strike because their real wages had actually gone down since 2012 because of the huge escalating costs of Health Insurance. And then when you layer onto that that most people need some
higher education, whether its Career Tech Ed or whether its college and theres now 1. 4 trillion of debt that students have, and these are the Kitchen Table issues, you know, in addition to the tariff issues that you were just talking about in your last segment that when workers basically look at President Trump and say what are you talking about, because their pocketbooks, what we are seeing is that were not achieving a better life and thats why you see so much energy on the streets right now this labor day to try to change that. What do you make of people who were talking to Vaughn Hillyard that say im still supporting republican policies and the president in this. You saw an example of workers who are negatively affected by this. The president imposed tariffs on europe, europe imposed tariffs on americanmade goods so now Harley Davidson is going to export the manufacture of some
of those motor psych motorcycles to other countries costing American People their jobs but theyre saying im still sticking with him because hes making it better for us. I think this is a trust issue in lots of different ways. You have a lot of American Workers who voted against their interests in some ways in 2016 and even beforehand because of their frustration, and they were looking for somebody who would shake the system up. Look, globalization has really hurt the American Worker for a long time. So has automation. What we need both in washington and, frankly, in governors is people who are willing to focus on Wage Increases and how you ensure that people have a better life. People want to work hard, but how you ensure people have a better life. So things like paid family leave, things like abating student debt. All of these things would make the dollar in a Wage Increase go further and these are the kind of policies that one can pursue. But the biggest policy is, you know, let workers organize in a real way, not have companies try to stop it in every which way so let me ask you about this. Lets just look at workers organizing. 10. 7 , according to the bureau of labor statistics, you and i both like citing their numbers. 10. 7 of u. S. Workers are unionized. 6. 5 of private Sector Workers are union sized. 34. 4 of public Sector Workers are unionized. Those numbers continue to go down and americans seem accepting of that. Strikes arent what they used to be, people cross picket lines more than they used to. Theyre more than the exception than the rule these days. I think look, im not let me be clear to your listeners. Nobody wants to go on strikes. Strikes are last resorts so i dont want to romanticize strikes. But what were seeing in the l gallup numbers is millenials see unions our union has grown over A Hundred Thousand people in the last couple of years. Even with this janus decision which was ton by the right wing overturning 45 years of precedent, even this decision an everything that the right wing is throwing at us, what were seeing is that people see the value of a union, the value of a union contract, and what theyre doing is sticking with the union. If people bernie sanders, chuck schumer, others, have said lets have laws that will make Union Organizing more available, and i think youd see a lot more people organizing. Randi, well continue this
conversation. Thank you for joining me today. Coming up, weve got some encouraging news in the nations devastating Opioid Crisis.

Nbc has a special series called one nation tackles the of the Opioid Crisis in American Communities the nbcs kate snow traveled to boon county, West Virginia to talk to folks there about the crisis and how one federal program called geared up gear up is giving kids like brooks a chance. Reporter every year New High School graduates visit Elementary Schools to inspire kids to aim high. I went to school at madison elementary.

starting at 11. 99. Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood. President trump state stayed in the whouts to make calls days before talks between the u. S. And canada on a new trade deal are set to resume. The president tweeted a stark warning over the weekend. There is no political necessity to keep canada in the new nafta deal. It we dont make a fair deal for the u. S. After decades of abuse, canada will be out. Congress should not interfere with these negotiations or i will simply terminate nafta entirely and we will be far better off. The president may be able to terminate nafta, but the u. S. And canada will be far from better off. Lets take a closer look at this. Since nafta took effect in 1994, the United States has become canadas largest Trading Partner. Canada has become americas second largest Trading Partner after china. Almost 80 of canadian exports go to either the United States or meks coal because of nafta. In 2017 the u. S. And canada traded 673 billion in goods and services. The u. S. Had a Trade Surplus with canada of more than 8 billion. I dont know how the president sees this as abusive. Since nafta took effect, exports of u. S. Goods to canada are up 181 . Service exports are up 243 . Abusive much, mr. President . In addition, nearly 2 million jobs in canada are tied to canadian exports to the United States. Nearly 9 million American Jobs Depend On Trade and investment with canada. And putting this in a much wider perspective, canada is the Top International destination for exports from 36 u. S. States. So, if these negotiations fail or the president pulls the plug on nafta, the impact is going to be felt on both sides of the border. That is a closer look at nafta and that bringds this hour to a close for me. Thank you for watching. And enjoy the rest of your labor
