that is not amy coney barrett's style. i think attackinghi her as a mother plays badly in the selection particularly with kamala harris as a member of the judiciary. judge jeanine: allll right, very quickly, in terms of sensor kamala harris, how do you think she will handle her? >> i think, she's going to take the lead in opposing amy coney barrett. my personal take is, if she leans in too hard, you heard ticket. joe biden is advertising himself as being decency and empathy back to washington. amy coney barrett is the epitome of the end if we see kamala harris about a suburban working mother, under minds with very little argument they have for office at this time. we will see what happens. judge jeanine: royal -- thanks show much for being here tonight. all right. three days until what could be the most watched debate in history. more on the attacks against amy coney barrett. ♪ historics in this nomination, final weeks of the most critical campaign in our lifetime in the first presidential debates between child and biden

so they attack amy coney barrett's family. the abortion industry lobby group tweeted that barrett "belongs to a group believes that husbands are in charge of their wives." larry is considering amy barrett's life and she seems pretty self-directed but other outlets places like politico and the guardian suggested that barrett belongs to a cold. they said the usual partisan operatives and think takes exist to give way to fake stories. in fact, barrett is a member of the mainstream christian group and part of the renewal movement that started in the '70s. of tens of millions of charismatic christians around the world. this is not a fringe sect. in fact, some members of people are actually politically liberal it turns out. one indication of this is pope francis. one of the auxiliary bishops from portland, oregon. but the details aren't the point of this. attacking christianity is the point of this. why do they hate christianity, at its core, christianity is a threat to the left because it acknowledges an authority higher than the d

and he gets that certainly with amy coney barrett. now of course the people who were a part of the rose garden ceremony today who are supporter, friends, and certainly on the same thought process as the white house, view her as someone that they believe will follow in the footsteps of the justice she clerked for, antonin scalia. and we saw today how she tried to use that piece of her own biography to connect herself to ruth bader ginsburg because of the personal friendship we've all heard so much about with the late justices ginsburg and scalia, their personal friendship. now she also spoke about her family and the white house has emphasized that a great deal, to talk about her seven children, two of whom were adopted from haiti. she today did not describe her faith explicitly, but many people do describe her devout catholic background. and of course her time at notre dame supports that. the president emphasized her intellect, the fact that she has that bipartisan support that you noted. only three democratic senators. but that was a

why is the amy coney barrett nomination so troubling? the american people should make no mistake about it. a vote for judge barrett is a vote to take away health care and its protections for over 130 million americans who now have protections against pre-existing conditions. for over 40 million americans that pay less for drugs on medicare. close to 10 million americans that will lose their health care all together. a vote for amy coney barrett is you a dagger aimed at the heart of the health care protections americans so desperately need and want. by nominating judge barrett to the supreme court, president trump has put americans' health care at grave risk and

how did he come to amy coney barrett? >> well, i think you could probably say, leland, this was a decision that had its beginnings, if not, was mostly done back in 2018. judge amy coney barrett of the 7th circuit court of appeals, was when judge kennedy retired and the president ultimately went with brett kavanaugh, but to have the seat if and when. and here we are todayment multiple sources have told us as you pointed out at the time that it will be barrett, but some republicans, some republicans who have been told it's her say they're not going to be 100% sure until she walks out with the president at 5:00 this afternoon. he does like to keep us guessing. when the announcement is made, the clock will start ticking toward confirmation, the election is in 38 days, using history as a guide that should be plenty of time to get barrett through. hearings would likely be, the judiciary has to hold the nomination for a week before holding a vote and take a couple of days for a vote in the senate. likely around october 28th. but

you can see why they've got to stop amy coney barrett. here is one connecticut senator telling you with a straight face that amy coney barrett is illegitimate. >> i have no intention of meeting with judge barrett because i simplyec refuse to trt this sham process is really legitimate and fair. >> tucker: okay. so this isn't just a debate over procedure. on saturday, the most powerfulhe democrat in the senate, chuck schumer, announced that amy coney barrett actually stands against everything that america believes in and stands for. grotesque. watch. >> just about everything that america believes in an and standser for when it comes to issues with health care, lgbtq rights, women's rights. judge barrett stands against all of that. just as ginsberg will be turning over in her grave to see that the people they chose seems to be intent on undoing all the things that ginsberg did. >> tucker: okay. so follow this>> reasoning. if you can. ruth bader ginsburg is quote turning on her grave, we must honor her final dying wish, from a party that is a

particularly given the fact that judge amy coney barrett is 48 years old. she could serve on this bench for a long time to come. but, of course, there are political implications in the short-term as well. the president and his campaign certainly hoping that this will rev up his conservative base, encourage them to turn out to the polls on november 3rd in droves. there is a question about the impact this will have on the left. democrats who have been criticizing president trump for moving ahead with this nomination before election day, they are driving home the point that this could really not only fundamentally alter the balance of power on the supreme court, but put into question things like obamacare and those pre-existing conditions, the protections for those pre-existing conditions. a case on obamacare is coming before the court in a matter of weeks and the white house certainly hopes that judge amy coney barrett will be on the court by that point. we should note, of course, a majority of americans, nearly 6 in 10 americans, believe it is the president

as for who that person is, multiple sources are pointing with confidence at amy coney barrett. she was reportedly the only potential nominee to meet personally with the president in the days following the death of justice ruth bader ginsburg. and just a couple of hours ago, judge bear receiparrett and her left their home in indiana, reporters asked her if they were on their way to washington or whether the president had kacald her. no answer. and we've learned that proceedings s will begin octob 12. and jeremy diamond is at the white house. and you have some reporting about why this event is decorated the way it is. explain. >> reporter: about an murdhour now, we expect president trump to nominate judge amy coney barrett who would be replacing the late justice ruth bader ginsburg. and in a nod to that confirmation from 1993, the look here is very similar. a white house aide saying that it is intention am, this look where you can see these american flags draped rooalongside wheree president is expected to walk out and announce his nomination up to the spreechl court, very simila

amy coney barrett has been a favorite among conservatives. she was one of the top contenders in 2018 when the president ultimately appointed or nominated brett kavanaugh to replace justice anthony kennedy. but she's known to senators. she's been thoroughly vetted and aides are excited. obviously eager enough that news of her expected nomination spilled out last night ahead of today's announcement. this is the moment that the white house and republicans have been waiting for since we fist learned about ruth bader ginsburg's death last week. you know, as we said, she's been a front-runner all along but officials did warn us last night that it's not a done deal until we hear it from the president himself. >> you said that she's been vetted. she was confirmed to serve on the u.s. court of appeals for the seventh circuit in 2017. interestingly, three democratic senators actually crossed party lines to vote for her. joe donnelly of indiana. he lost his re-election campaign, by the way. tim kaine of virginia and joe manchin of west virginia. will ka

amy coney barrett has been very serious about that. but they have different philosophies of the law, she's originalist, she looks back to the original text and meaning of the constitution. that's a very specific position, very different from somebody who thinks about the constitution as something that is very living and should be interpreted through the modern era. and, of course, one's positions are reflected through that legal analysis. so there is a lot at stake. i think if we look at amy coney barrett's positions on any number of issues, they are deeply embedded in legal analysis. but, of course, they reflect a certain -- a certain view of the law and of precedent. so there is a lot at stake. we have seen how this plays out. but i think really when you talk about moving a court from 5-4 to 6-3 leading conservative, that ability to kind of, you know, for chief justice roberts to be a deciding vote is really changing. so there is a lot at stake. >> all right, so many more questions, but we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much

coney barrett into supreme court justice amy coney barrett. democrats admit they can't do much except install things temporarily. listen. >> and slow it down perhaps on a matter of hours, maybe days at the most but we can't stop the outcome. >> as for judge barrett, those who loved judge antonin scalia are praising the president's pick. she clerked for him in 1996. he i she is someone who interprs the words of the constitution as written. >> judicial philosophy is mine, too. a judge must deploy the law as written. judges are not policymakers and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold. >> dana, one week from today at the start of the fall term, amy coney barrett will obviously be on the bench by then, president trump wants her on the bench by the election. the justices will take up the affordable care act. a lot going on here and across the street at the capitol. dana? >> dana: so much and that building is so beautiful behind you. thank you, david. some democrats in the senate are refusing to even meet with pres

amy coney barrett is a solid conservative. one person who is familiar with her referred to her as the ruth bader ginsburg of the right. she is viewed in a similar way on the right as ruth bader ginsburg is on the left. so it's really a play to solid conservative voters voting on faith based issues and voting on anti-abortion and want to see limits on abortion, which, you know, is going to be a key issue we're going to hear about as we have a number of times in her confirmation. >> i want to get into roe v wade in a bit. heidi, want to get into your reporting first. i spoke to senator bob casey in the last hour, pressed him on the strategy, he talked about aca and about health care and basically how it seems as if to me the impression i had from senator casey, the strategy going forward is we have to win control of the senate, democrats have to win control of the senate he said and essentially win the white house. that's the strategy. doesn't seem like they can block the confirmation of judge barrett. >> their strategy in terms

coney barrett. applause. after the president's comments, amy coney barrett said she was mindful of the footsteps she'd be walking in as the replacement forjustice bader ginsburg, whose death has created the vacancy on the bench. i fully understand that this is a momentous decision for a president. and if the senate does me the honour of confirming me, i pledged to discharge the responsibilities of this job to the very best of my ability. i love the united states and i love the united states constitution. iam truly... applause. i am truly humbled by the prospect of serving on the supreme court. should i be confirmed, i will be mindful of who came before me. the flag of the united states is still flying at half staff in memory ofjustice ruth bader ginsburg to mark the end of a great american life. justice ginsburg began her career at a time when women were not welcome in the legal profession, but she not only broke glass ceilings, she smashed them. for that, she has won the admiration of women across

well, if you want a clue on amy coney barrett. look what she wrote after john roberts said it should stand, when barack obama was still in office, because the mandate was more of a tax than it was a law or a rule, it was constitutional. she had a problem with that. and she wrote about it. on coronavirus litigation, on your ability through this coronavirus period we are. in signs that it's com coming b. on those cases are you allowed to go to church? can i protest? am i actually barred from going to worship? does that weigh in to our constitutional values? and there is other things about that are going to be there title 7, civil rights act. that she is going to be looking at. title 7 this are going to be talking about voting rights. resonate with people. free speech on campus. something the president is taking executive order on. allowing people to speak up due to this horrible thing called be a republican or speak up for conservative values how against them and positions eliminate them because you hash to be one point of view. now
