>> WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT WORKING
WITH YOU AND REACHING OUT TO
MEMBERS OF THE SENATE IN BOTH
POLITICAL PARTIES, THAT MEMBERS
OF THE SENATE AND THE PEOPLE
JUDGE BRETT KAVANAUGH IS QUITE I
VICE PRESIDENT PENCE.
THIS WAS HIS FIRST VISIT TO
CAPITOL HILL AHEAD OF WHAT MANY
EXPECT TO BE A CONTENTIOUS
CONFIRMATION PROCESS.
JOINING US IS A FORMER CHECK FOR
JUDGE KAVANAUGH ALONG ARE
JUSTICE ROBERTS.
AND A FORMER CLERK MORE JUSTICE
SCALIA.
ED, LET ME START WITH YOU.
ON ONE HAND I -- WE HEAR SOME
OVERTURES INCLUDING INTERVIEWS
WITH COLLINS AND MURKOWSKI TO
MAKE IT SEEM LIKE MUNICIPAL CANS
WILL HAVE ENOUGH VOTES TO GET
THIS NOMINEE THROUGH.
BUT THERE ARE SERIOUS EMBEDDED
PUSHBACK GOING ON AND SOME
DISAPPOINTMENT EVEN BY SOME
REPUBLICANS THAT MAYBE THE
SO-CALLED ESTABLISHMENT WON
AGAIN.
>> WELL, I THINK WE HAVE AN
OUTSTANDING CANDIDATE IN BRETT
HIS RECORD THE MORE THEY WILL
APPRECIATE HIS SUPERB QUALITY.
WE HAVE SOMEONE MONTH WILL MAKE
A GREAT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
AND I THINK REPUBLICANS WILL
UNIFY AROUND HIS NOMINATION AND
THERE WILL BE RED STATE
DEMOCRATS ON BOARD WITH HIM AS
LESS OF A FIGHT THAN PEOPLE ARE
PREDICTING.
CHARLES: ANY POSITION IN
WASHINGTON, D.C. THESE DAYS
COMES WITH A WHOLE LOT OF BARBS
AND BUSHBACK.
-- PUSHBACK.
WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD SO FAR ABOUT
JUDGE KAVANAUGH WHAT HAVE YOU
HEARD THAT BOTHERS YOU THAT YOU
THINK IT'S AN OUTRIGHT
MISCHARACTERIZATION OF HIM.
>> WHAT I MOSTLY HEARD ABOUT IS
IT'S GREAT TOP HEAR THOSE
BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.
ANYBODY WHO WOULD SUGGEST THAT
HE ISN'T ONE OF THE MOST OF
BRILLIANT LEGAL MINDS OUT THERE,
THAT WOULD BOTHER ME.
HE'S INCREDIBLY FAIR.
ANY CASE THAT CAME BEFORE HIM
WEB WANTED TO SEE BOTH SIDES OF
IT.
POSITION, HE NEEDS TO YOU
EXPLAIN WHY THE OTHER SIDE
WASN'T RIGHT.
HE'S A TRUE JUDGE'S JUDGE.
HE'LL COME TOP EACH CASE, DECIDE
I HOPE EVERYBODY SEES THAT.
CHARLES: THERE IS SOME DEMOCRAT
OPPOSED ROBERTS ON OBAMACARE.
AND SAYING A SITTING POTUS CAN'T
BE INDICTED AND THE PRESIDENT
CAN FIRE A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.
SOME ARE SAYING THAT'S FAKE
NEWS.
WHEN YOU HEAR THOSE THINGS -- WE
HAVE TO BRACE FOR IT.
THIS IS WHAT HE'S GOING TO HEAR.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S MADE UP
HIS MIND ON ROE VERSUS WADE, FOR
INSTANCE?
>> I'M SURE HE HASN'T MADE UP
HIS MIND ON ANY CASE THAT HAS
COME BEFORE HIM.
HE TREATED EACH CASE THE SAME.
EACH CASE HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT
WAS THE LAW, THE PRECEDENT, THE
SCOLT ALLY ARTICLES ON IT.
EVEN IF THERE WAS AN EASY
DECISION, I'M SURE THERE IS NO
CASE HE PREJUDGED.
CHARLES: WITH RESPECT TO THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
OUR VIEWERS ARE CONCERNED.
WE HAD AN AVALANCHE OF
REGULATORY IN THE LAST
ADMINISTRATION.
SOME OF THEM BEING TAKEN AWAY.
THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT
DODD-FRANK, AND OBAMACARE.
AND MANY ARE WONDER WHERE YOU
THINK THIS JUSTICE WOULD COME
DOWN WITH RESPECT TO THESE
BUSINESS RULING?
>> THERE ARE TWO GREAT ATRIBUTES
TEXTUALIST.
WORDS MATTER.
HE CAN LOOK AT THE LAW AND
CRITIC OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
STATE.
HE HAS LED THE WAY IN REINING IT
KEEPING IT IN CONTROL.
