| 00:00:00 | GET REALLY SPECIFIC INFORMATION. |
| 00:00:03 | >> SO IF YOU COULD ANSWER THE SECOND PART. |
| 00:00:05 | THEN WHAT'S IF POINT AFF OWL ALL OF THIS? |
| 00:00:09 | >> I THINK YOU TRY TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU CAN. |
| 00:00:12 | AND THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN THE HEARING HAS BEEN DECISIVE OR EVEN THE FACT THAT THH HEARING IS COMING UP AND PEOPLE START EXPLORING QUESTIONS HAS BEEN DECISIVE, WHEN PRESIDENT REAGAN WITH DREW ONE OF HIS NAMES BEFORE THE HEARING EVEN BEGAN. |
| 00:00:31 | PRESIDENT GEORGE W. |
| 00:00:32 | BUSH DID ALSO. |
| 00:00:36 | ARE THERE DRAMATIC CHANGES? |
| 00:00:38 | YES. |
| 00:00:39 | ARE WE GOING BACK TO THE OLD DAYS? |
| 00:00:42 | NO. PROBABLY THE BEST EXAMPLE IS SHE IS REPLACING JEAN-PAUL STEVENS. |
| 00:00:48 | I WAS IN THE SENATE WHEN HE WAS NOMINATED. |
| 00:00:51 | NOMINATED BY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. |
| 00:00:54 | IT WAS AN OVERWHELMINGLY DEMOCRATIC SENATE AND HE WAS CONFIRMED IN TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. |
| 00:01:04 | AND HE MADE COURTESY CALLS ON A NUMBER OF SENATORS. |
| 00:01:08 | THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME FOR HIS SUCCESSOR. |
| 00:01:12 | SHE HAS MADE THE COURTESY CALLS. |
| 00:01:15 | I THINK SHE HAS TALKED WITH PRACTICALLY ER SENATOR. |
| 00:01:20 | AND BUT THH QUESTIONS WILL BE SIGNIFICANT. |
| 00:01:24 | I'M CONCERNED, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE TREND OF THE COURT, IT'S BECOME A VERY ACTIVIST COURT. |
| 00:01:32 | WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF LONG-STANDING LAW THAT HAS BEEN OVERTURNED, FOR EXAMPLE WITH THE LED BETTER CASE. |
| 00:01:40 | YOU HAVE BASICALLY SAYING MEN CAN BE PAID MORE THAN WOMEN. |
| 00:01:44 | WE HAD TO REWRITE THE LAW. |
| 00:01:46 | THE FIRST LAW THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA SIGNED INTO LAW SAYING WE SHOULD ALL FEEL THAT WOMEN AND MEN GET PAID THE SAME FOR THE SAME KIND OF WORK. |
| 00:01:55 | SO TURNING BACK THE AWARD IN THE EXXON VALDEZ, I WONDER IF THE SUPREME COURT WOULD DO THAT TODAY AS THEY WATCH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE GULF. |
| 00:02:07 | AND I THINK THE MOST EGREGIOUS DECISION THE CITIZENS UNITED, WHICH HAS THE INTERESTING EFFECT, THIS IS THE ONE THAT SAYS THAT CORPORATIONS CAN BE INVOLVED IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS, CAN BE INVOLVED IN SPENDING ON POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS, SOMETHING THAT SINCE THE TIME OF TEDDY ROOSEVELT WE SAID COULD NOT BE DONE. |
| 00:02:29 | YET BP, IF THEY WANTED, COULD SAY SOME OF THESE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE BEING TOO TOUGH ON US AND ASKING QUESTIONS. |
| 00:02:38 | SO WE WILL SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO ELECT SOMEBODY WHO WILL SAY WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING. |
| 00:02:44 | NOW, I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. |
| 00:02:46 | BUT UNDER WHAT THE SUPREME COURT SAID, THAT COULD HAN. |
| 00:02:51 | >> HAPPEN. |
| 00:02:52 | HOST: YOU SEEM TO BE CRITICAL OF THE COURT UNDER CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS. |
| 00:02:57 | ARE YOU TRYING TO PAINT THE CONSERVATIVES AS THE ACTIVISTS? |
| 00:03:03 | >> I THINK IT'S HARD TO DEFINE WHERE THE LIBERALS HAVE BEEN ACTIVIST. |
| 00:03:07 | IT WASN'T THE LIBERALS WHO SAID THAT MEN COULD BE PAID MORE THAN WOMEN. |
| 00:03:11 | THE |
