EVENING
EVENING AND THANKS FOR JOINING US. I'M BARBARA EDWARD. AND I'M MARCELLA LEE. SUPREME COURT
NOMINEE AMY KONY BARRETT FACE
THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
FOR SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS TODAY
DURING THE SECOND DAY OF
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS ON
CAPITOL HILL. BARRETT WAS
ADAMANT THAT SHE HAD NOT
DISCUSSED HOW SHE WOULD RULE ON
ANY CASES WITH THE PRESIDENT OR
WITH ANY OF HIS AIDES. AS
NATALIE BRAND REPORTS TONIGHT,
SHE WAS ALSO ASKED ABOUT ROE
VS. WADE AND THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT, THE FOURTH IN A LONG
DAY OF QUESTIONING BEFORE
THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
SUPREME COURT NOMINEE AMY KONY
BARRETT ARGUED IF SHE'S
CONFIRMED HER RULINGS WILL BE
BASED ON THE LAW, NOT HER
PERSONAL OPINIONS. JUDGES CAN'T
JUST WAKE UP ONE DAY AND SAY I
HAVE AN AGENDA. I LIKE GUNS. I
HATE GUNS. I LIKE ABORTION. I
HATE ABORTION AND WALK LIKE A
ROYAL QUEEN AND IMPOSE THEIR
WILL ON THE WORLD. SHE ALSO
SOUGHT TO SEPARATE HERSELF FROM
THE LATE ANTONIN SCALIA,
THE CONSERVATIVE JUSTICE FOR
WHOM SHE CLERKED. I WANT TO BE
CAREFUL TO SAY THAT IF I'M
CONFIRMED YOU WOULD NOT BE
GETTING JUSTICE SCALIA. YOU
WOULD BE GETTING JUSTICE
BARRETT. BUT SHE OFFERED FEW
HINTS AS TO HOW SHE WOULD RULE
ON KEY ISSUES. JUSTICE GINSBURG
WITH HER CHARACTERISTIC
PETTINESS USED THIS WAY TO
DESCRIBE HOW A NOMINEE SHOULD
COMPORT HERSELF AT A HEARING.
NO HINTS, NO PREVIEWS, NO
FORECASTS. STILL DEMOCRATS
PRESSED HER ABOUT THE CURRENT
CASE CHALLENGING THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT. I HAVE NO HOSTILITY
TO THE ACA. THEY ALSO
QUESTIONED HER ABOUT ABORTION
RIGHTS. IT'S INCONSISTENT WITH
THE DUTIES OF A SITTING JUDGE
THERE HER HUSBAND THE PRACTICE
OF EVERY NOMINEE THAT SAT IN
THE SEAT BEFORE ME TO TAKE
POSITIONS ON CASES THAT
THE COURT HAS DECIDED IN
THE PAST. JUDGE BARRETT WOULD
NOT COMMIT TO RECUSING HERSELF
FROM POSSIBLE ELECTION
CHALLENGES THAT COME BEFORE
THE COURT. BUT SHE ALSO
STRESSED THAT SHE'S HAD NO
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE WHITE
HOUSE ON SPECIFIC CASES. I
CERTAINLY HOPE THAT ALL MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE HAVE MORE
CONFIDENCE IN MY INTEGRITY THAN
TO THINK THAT I WOULD ALLOW
MYSELF TO BE USED AS A PAWN TO
DECIDE THIS ELECTION FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. TWENTY TWO
MEMBERS OF THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE WILL HAVE ANOTHER
CHANCE TO QUESTION JUDGE
BARRETT ON WEDNESDAY. NATALIE
BRAND, CBS NEWS CAPITOL HILL
THE REPUBLICAN LED JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE HAS SCHEDULED A VOTE
ON BARRETT'S NOMINATION FOR
THIS THURSDAY WITH
THE EXPECTATION THAT DEMOCRATS
WILL REQUEST A ONE WEEK DELAY.
NEW TONIGHT A MARINE OFFICER
HAS BEEN RELIEVED OF COMMAND
FOLLOWING A DEADLY ACCIDENT OFF
THE COAST OF SAN CLEMENTE
ISLAND. YOU MAY REMEMBER ON
JULY 30TH EIGHT MARINES AND ONE
SAILOR DIED WHEN THEIR NAVY
SANK WELL ON THE WAY BACK FROM
A TRAINING EXERCISE. NOW
ACCORDING TO THE MARINE CORPS,
LIEUTENANT COLONEL MICHAEL
RAGNAR WAS REMOVED FROM HIS
POST TODAY AS COMMANDING
OFFICER OF THE LANDING TEAM DUE
TO A LOSS IN TRUST AND
CONFIDENCE. THE MARINE CORPS
SAYS THE DECISION WAS BASED ON
SUBSTANTIAL INFORMATION.
THE INVESTIGATION INTO
THE ACCIDENT IS ONGOING. WELL,
THERE WAS DEFINITELY A HOT ONE
AND EVEN HOTTER THAN YESTERDAY.
CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CARLENE
JARVIS WE HAD A RECORD TODAY
THAT WAS SET FOR CHULA VISTA AS
WELL AS BACK INTO THOSE TRIPLE
DIGITS AS YOU'RE SEEING WITH
HIGHS TODAY 100 INTO EL CAJON.
ONE HUNDRED FOUR FALLBROOK. ONE
HUNDRED IN ONE VALLEY CENTER.
EVEN NINETY FOUR DOWNTOWN AS
WELL AS NINETY ONE DEGREES FOR
OCEANSIDE TODAY. AND SO
BASICALLY BORREGO SPRINGS
WASN'T THE ONLY CITY THAT WAS
IN THOSE TRIPLE DIGITS. ONE
HUNDRED AND TWO WAS THE HIGH
TODAY TAKING A LOOK AT
THE RECORD. IT WAS BROKEN TODAY
BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS IS HIGH
OF NINETY THREE DEGREES. THAT
PREVIOUS RECORD SET ON THIS DAY
BACK IN 2001. SO WE STILL UNDER
THAT HEAT ADVISORY. THAT'S
GOING TO KEEP GOING ALL THE WAY
UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT AT 5:00
P.M.. DAYTIME HIGHS WERE
THE COAST BETWEEN 85 TO 97
DEGREES UP TO 100 IN DUE FOR
THE INLAND VALLEYS. THIS
OBVIOUSLY IS WELL ABOVE
SEASONAL ABOUT 10 TO 20 DEGREES
AND WE COULD BE IN STORE FOR A
FEW MORE RECORDS OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. WE'LL GO AHEAD
AND TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR
COMPLETE FORECAST COMING UP.
THAT'S MARCELLA AND BARBARA
LEE. ALL RIGHT, THANKS.
CURRENTLY THE ELECTION IS THREE
WEEKS FROM TODAY. BOTH
CANDIDATES ARE ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL IN BATTLEGROUND STATE.
JOE BIDEN REACHED OUT TO SENIOR
CITIZENS IN FLORIDA TODAY WHILE
PRESIDENT TRUMP RALLIED IN
PENNSYLVANIA TONIGHT DEBORAH
VERRONE HAS MORE FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE. EARLY VOTING GOT
UNDERWAY IN TEXAS TUESDAY WITH
LINES WRAPPED AROUND POLLING
PLACES. THE COUNTY THAT
INCLUDES HOUSTON SAYS IT
SURPASSED ITS RECORD FOR FIRST
DAY. EARLY VOTING HAD BEEN
EARLY VOTING AT THIS LOCATION
FOR 30 YEARS. AND I HAVE NEVER
SEEN A TURNOUT LIKE THIS. I'VE
NEVER EVEN WAITED IN LINE AT
THIS LOCATION. EARLY VOTING
MORE THAN 3 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE
REGISTERED TO VOTE THERE SINCE
THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
AND THAT'S GIVEN DEMOCRATS HOPE
THEY CAN FLIP THE LONE STAR
STATE. THE FORMER VISE
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS ALSO
GUNNING FOR FLORIDA WHERE
PRESIDENT TRUMP WON IN 2016.
BIDEN CAMPAIGNED THERE TODAY IN
SMALL SOCIALLY DISTANCED EVENTS
ONE WHERE ATTENDEES SAT IN
THEIR CARS AND HONK THEIR
APPROVAL. DONALD TRUMP REMAINS
PRESIDENT A MORE RECKLESS HE
BECOMES THREE MORE BEFORE WE
END THIS MADNESS BEFORE HEADING
TO FLORIDA FOR VISE, PRESIDENT
BIDEN MENTIONED PRESIDENT OBAMA
.HE SAYS THE FORMER PRESIDENT
IS DOING WELL AND WILL BE
CAMPAIGNING FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET SOON. PRESIDENT TRUMP
HELD HIS SECOND RALLY IN HIS
MANY NIGHTS, THE MOST RECENT IN
PENNSYLVANIA, A STATE WHERE CBS
NEWS FINDS HE IS TRAILING BIDEN
AND WHERE HE SHARPENED HIS
ATTACKS. JOE BIDEN WOULD
TERMINATE OUR RECOVERY. DELAY
THE VACCINE. PROLONG
THE PANDEMIC. HUNDREDS STOOD
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER AND FEW
WORE MASKS. IT'S BEEN EIGHT
DAYS SINCE THE PRESIDENT WAS
RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL
WHERE HE WAS BEING TREATED FOR
CORONA VIRUS. DEBRA L. THROWN
CBS NEWS THE WHITE HOUSE. VISE
PRESIDENT BIDEN GAVE ONE OF HIS
MOST DIRECT ANSWERS YET ON
WHETHER HE WOULD ADD SEATS TO
THE SUPREME COURT TO OFFSET A
CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY. SPEAKING
TO A REPORTER IN OHIO LAST
NIGHT, MR BIDEN SAID THAT HE IS
QUOTE NOT A FAN OF COURT
PACKING. GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM HAS
REVERSED A PAROLE BOARD'S
DECISION TO RELEASE THE KILLER
OF A SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICER,
HE SAYS AND CENA WAS CONVICTED
OF THE 1978 MURDER OF OFFICER
ARCHIE BUGS. A CRIME SCENE
COMMITTED WHEN HE WAS 17 YEARS
OLD. BUGS WAS SHOT FOUR TIMES
AFTER PULLING PACINO OVER IN
THE SKYLINE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS
IS THE SECOND TIME THE GOVERNOR
HAS REVERSED PAROLE BOARDS
RECOMMENDATION FOR SOCIETY'S
RELEASE. THE NEXT PAROLE BOARD
HEARING FOR SEENA, WHO IS NOW
59 YEARS OLD IS SET FOR
DECEMBER 20 21. SHERIFF'S
HOMICIDE DETECTIVES HAVE
IDENTIFIED FOUR CHP OFFICERS
AND TWO SAN DIEGO POLICE
OFFICERS INVOLVED IN A DEADLY
SHOOTING IN CHULA VISTA. ALL
SIX REMAIN ON ADMINISTRATIVE
LEAVE FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF
CHRISTOPHER OMER. DETECTIVES
SAY OMAR DIED OF MULTIPLE
GUNSHOT WOUNDS FOLLOWING A
CHASE FROM ORANGE COUNTY INTO
SAN DIEGO COUNTY ON OCTOBER
3RD. IT IS STILL UNCLEAR IF
OMAR WAS ARMED WHEN OFFICERS
OPENED FIRE BECAUSE BOTH CHP
AND SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICERS
WERE INVOLVED. THE SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT IS HANDLING
THE INVESTIGATION. SAN DIEGO
COUNTY WILL REMAIN IN THE RED
TIER FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER WEEK
WHEN IT COMES TO THE STATE'S
FOUR TIER REOPENING PLAN.
THE COUNTY STATE CALCULATED
ADJUSTED CASE RATE IS SIX POINT
EIGHT. DAILY INFECTIONS PER
100000 RESIDENTS THAT'S UP FROM
THREE POINT SEVEN LAST WEEK TO
STAY IN THE LESS RESTRICTIVE
RED TIER, THE COUNTY MUST
MAINTAIN AND ADJUSTED CASE RATE
BELOW SEVEN IN CLASSROOM
LEARNING IS BACK IN SESSION FOR
MANY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN
THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT. IT'S PART OF
THE DISTRICT'S IF PHASE 1 PLAN
IN WHICH ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER
OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ARE
ALLOWED BACK ON CAMPUS. THIS
WEEK BEFORE MOORE CAN RETURN IN
THE NEXT PHASE. NEWS ATES
HEATHER HOPE HAS A RECAP OF DAY
1 AND YES, THE EXCITEMENT IS ON
FOR GETTING KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL
HERE AT LAFAYETTE. YOU DON'T
SEE THAT MANY AROUND TODAY AS
IT IS A PART OF PHASE ONE WAS
STARTING TO GET THEM BACK ON
CAMPUS IN SAN MIGUEL'S LARGEST
SCHOOL DISTRICT. JUMPING FOR
JOY THESE LAFAYETTE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE ELATED TO
BE BACK INSIDE CLASS. IT'S LIKE
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL ON OCTOBER
13TH AND WE'RE GETTING ALL
THOSE FUN PICTURES. THE SAN
DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
OPENED MOST ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
FOR ITS PHASE 1. IT'S NOT ABOUT
OPENING THE FASTEST. IT'S ABOUT
BEING THE SAFEST SO THAT EVERY
STEP FORWARD THAT WE TAKE IN
WELCOMING OUR KIDS BACK TO
IN-PERSON LEARNING IS A SOLID
STEP FORWARD. THE DISTRICT'S
SEND OUT VIDEO GUIDES LIKE THIS
ONE TO GIVE PARENTS THEIR DAILY
CHECKLIST BEFORE KIDS RETURN TO
SCHOOL. LIKE TEMPERATURE CHECKS
,LAFAYETTE WILL ONLY HAVE 25
STUDENTS TOTAL ON CAMPUS THIS
WEEK FOR APPOINTMENT BASED
LEARNING. IT'S THE HOME OF
THE DISTRICT'S DEAF AND HARD
HEARING PROGRAM. THESE ARE
TRULY STUDENTS THAT NEED THAT
INTENSIVE SUPPORT THAT ONLINE
LEARNING IS IN PROVIDING FOR
EACH CLASSROOM HAS A NEW AND
SEPARATE VENTILATION SYSTEM
PLEXIGLASS DIVIDERS AND NO
SHARED DESKS. THERE WILL BE A
AND B ROTATING STUDENT DAYS.
HOW DO WE MAINTAIN DISTANCE?
HOW DO WE KEEP EVERYBODY SAFE?
HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE OUR
STUDENTS KEEP THEIR MASKS ON?
NO EASY OR CHEAP TASK. AND
THERE'S A REAL COST TO THAT.
THAT'S WHY WE PUT 45 MILLION
DOLLARS ASIDE IN OUR CORONA
VIRUS RELIEF TO BE ABLE TO PUT
THESE THINGS IN PLACE.
THE SCHOOL IS ADAPTING WITH
PROVIDING OUTDOOR CLASSROOM
SPACE FOR LEARNING. IT'S
LARGELY DEAF AND HARD OF
HEARING STUDENTS THAT ARE
COMING IN FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS
AT A TIME. SOME OF THE STUDENTS
WILL BE HERE ALL WEEK. OTHERS
WILL ROTATE ON DIFFERENT DAYS.
THE SCHOOLS REOPENED EXACTLY
SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THEY CLOSED
MARCH 13TH DUE TO THE COVE AT
19 PANDEMIC. THERE'S STILL
PUSHBACK FROM PARENTS WHO WANT
ALL SCHOOLS TO OPEN SOONER. OF
COURSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND
WE WANT TO LISTEN TO
THE PERSPECTIVES OF ALL
PARENTS. SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AND
MCCARTY SAYS IT'S BEEN HER MOST
DIFFICULT YEAR YET.
UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE ALSO
THE SCHOOL. WE HAD A PLANE
CRASH A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO
WE'VE DEALT WITH SOME
CHALLENGES HERE. LAFAYETTE IS
HOME TO ABOUT 254 STUDENTS IN
THEIR T.K. TO FIFTH GRADES. HOW
WILL THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT MOVE UP TO
PHASE 2 TESTING THAT OUT NOW SO
WE CAN CONTINUE TO OPEN MORE
AND MORE AND MORE AND GO FULL
SCALE. AGAIN, THIS IS PHASE
ONE. THE DISTRICT THEN MONITOR
HOW WELL THIS
