affirmed back in 2006 and will need confirmation as new supreme court justice. >> we will have a burden to show that they will be independent and serve the pope role that the ju dishary serve. >> i hope that democrats and republicans can come together for once for the good of the country. congratulations. >> he is a respected conservative because of his relationship with justice kennedy hoping that he will sway him in key decisions and unpredictable vote. as for senate confirmation he was unanimously approved for the 10th circuit court and we will see how he fares this time around. remember that first time around it was a completely different senate. 39 senators are in office from his previous approval. everyone is saying he should sail through because he was unanimous back then but it is not the cast now and democrats have been promising a fight on

the heels of what happened to merrick garland. >> we know that judge neil gorsuch is conservative what about key issues like abortion? >> everyone wants to know whether he is and thai borg or not. he has never written a legal opinion on that but we do know when it comes to euthanasia or assisted suicide that he is vehemently opposed to that and he was critical saying liberals were addicted to changing social issues through the court system. >> a simple majority to get him affirmed. is that what they need. >> yes and we have to worry about the democrats filibustering on the senate floor. most senators are saying if that happens they are not worried about it. hinting perhaps they may use the nuclear option to go ahead

and do that by canceling the filibuster and we will have to see how it plays out. the speak speaker of the house supports it. paul ryan says it is the president's job to put nation's security first and admits the roll out of the order was confusing. >> i think it is regrettable that this was confusion on the roll out of this. no one wanted to see people with green cards or special immigrant visas get caught up. i think there was regrettably the roll out was confusing but i'm confident that secretary kelly will make sure it is done correctly. >> president trump's signed the executive order friday. it includes 90 day travel to iraq, i ran, sudan, so nalya and syria and yemin and 120 day suspension of the u.s. refugee program. the number of states suing the trump administration over

billion in federal funding it will affect federal entitlement programs medicaid healthcare and children's programs. legal experts expect that this case will head all the way to the supreme court. >> as a city we will fight back and today we fight back. >> in san francisco, tara moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. its news that raider fans have been waiting to see. moving to los angeles is unlikely. another group of investors is backing out. >> joe fonzi is here now and we always thought it would not be easy for mark davis and it isn't. >> it got harder. the raider move to las vegas took a major hit yesterday and a bigger one today. too early to call the idea are the las vegas raiders dead in the water but another obstacle has surfaced and the plan by mark davis to have a two billion dollar stadium built there. yesterday casino mogul sheldon

addalson that committed to a third of the financing pulled out of the deal. the raiders had said that they had backup financing in the event that happened. that financing was to be provided by the gold man sack group. today comes word that goldman sachs commitment was contingent on addalson's involvement and that leaves a 600 million- dollar hole in the deal. additionally the climate in las vegas may be poisoned. addalson used his influence with the nevada legislature to get 750 million-dollars of public money committed to the deal. john hallston is the editor of the nevada independent that wrote a column yesterday detailing the break down of negotiations between addalston and davis. after goldman sachs and the raiders went to the nfl and it was announced that goldman sachs was going to finance the deal even if addalson got out addalson is was not thrilled with that and made for already

bad negotiations worse and the gold man folks realize that where the bread was really buttered went to addalson this morning and said don't worry, sheldon, we are getting out too. put it this way. sheldon was going to put in 600 million-dollars. there is no too many people that can do that. back in the bay area, the fortress investment group headed by ronnie lott issued a statement once again making the case for its stadium proposal in oakland. the group says the bottom line is if the raiders want to stay in oakland we are more than ready to be a partner in making that happen. the only problem is that davis doesn't appear willing to truly partner with anyone. that would involve giving up control of ownership in exchange for the money and that's had the negotiations have bogged down. of course the nfl owners will meet in march and expected to vote on a deal and if the raiders don't have a financing plan in place, what happens if. >> the raiders have filed papers and there is that

meeting in march. i can't imagine the nfl owners voting on a deal that is not fully vetted that has the investment aspects of it ironed out. >> it appears that mark davis is running outside of oppositions. las vegas is off of the table and lost out on los angeles and no place in going to qualcomm stadium because that is as old as the other coliseum, what does he do? >> there's st. louis. no, i think it will have to be -- he has the lease for two more years in oakland. there could be another investor in los angeles. but i still am waitinging to find the person that said i am willing to put in 600 million- dollars and do what you will with my money. i don't want any stake in decision making or ownership but here is the money, have at it. i'm waiting to see that person. >> pretty hard to find that. >> i think we will wait a

while. joe, thank you. so how do raider fans feel. >> this is exciting for oakland and especially those surrounding ronnie lott and his investment group to build that stadium at the coliseum site. >> sometimes plans change and that seems to be the case for billionaire casino tycoon sheldon addalson after spearheading a plan to bill a stadium for the raiders near the league strip. addalson is done saying he will no longer invest 650 million- dollars to help pay for the project. griz jones founder of forever oakland says that development helps the cause of keeping the raiders here. >> we knew that vegas is a healthy choice because of the swaggard. >> addalson is ticked off after being left out of a key lease agreement meeting between the las vegas stadium authority and the raiders. there's also word without addalson's involvement investor

goldman sachs is out too. >> those of us that want to keep the raiders in oakland it was a pleasant surprise to hear that mr. addalson is out of the pictures. >> chris dobbins says the deal is far from over and up to the nfl owners to decide whether to approve the move to vegas. >> we need 9 votes, 32 owners and we need to make the dream to go to vegas for mr. davis not to be reality and we will be focusing on all of the other nfl owners. >> oakland is the better market and meeting the household income and i believe nfl openers will come to the conclusion with the news we are hearing outside of oakland that oakland is a healthy choice. >> the raiders released a statement thanking addalson and his family and read we know this project could not have advanced to this point without them. the raiders are steadfast in honoring mark davis' commitment to governor sandoval to moving to las vegas. mayor shaft remains focused on

her goal. >> i'm indicated about keeping the raiders here and excited that we have a business partner now that has the capacity and the willingness to privately finance a stadium in oakland and we have some things that las vegas will never have. and this is a legacy and loyalty. as we have said before, a move to sin city would need approval from 3/4 of nfl owners and it is unclear when they will take a vote but all eyes and ears will be watching when the nfl owners meet in march. cristina rendon. ktvu fox 2 news. thank you, cristina. still ahead. a driver claiming to have a bomb shut down a major bridge in northern california. the string of events that has that driver behind bars. a dui crash leads police to alleged kidnapper. how one woman is safe as a result. we are tracking the next round of rain. getting here soon and it will impact the commute soon. we will let you know when.
