>> ZERO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT
JUDGE BARRETT IS SOMEBODY WHO
HAS -- DOES NOT HAVE THE IDEA
OF THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHCARE.
SHE IS A WORKING MOTHER TO
SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN.
SHE IS A MOTHER TO A CHILD WITH
A DISABILITY.
SHE IS A BELOVED TEACHER.
VERY RESPECTED SCHOLAR.
I THINK SHE HAS SHOWN HERSELF
TO BE A THOUGHTFUL JURIST AND
SHE IS JUST A WONDERFUL, WARM,
ADMIRABLE HUMAN BEING.
>> Bill: AMERICA IS ABOUT TO
GET TO KNOW HER A LOT BETTER.
THAT’S JUSTICE SCALIA’S SON
TALKING ABOUT AMY CONEY BARRETT.
HER SPECIAL LIFE IS UNDER
SCRUTINY FROM THE LIFE IN A
SIGNIFICANT WAY.
WANT TO BRING IN KEN STARR
FORMER INDEPENDENT COUNSEL AND
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR.
I WILL POSE THE QUESTION THIS
WAY.
AFTER BORK AND THOMAS AND
KAVANAUGH, WHAT IS RELEVANT IN
THESE HEARINGS WHEN IT COMES TO
YOUR PERSONAL LIFE?
>> ZERO.
THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF, BILL,
PUTS UP A HUGE STOP SIGN.
IT SAYS STOP, DON’T GO THERE.
ARTICLE 6 OF THE CONSTITUTION
RIGHT AFTER EXPLAINING THAT THE
SUPREME COURT MUST FOLLOW THE
CONSTITUTION, THAT THE
CONSTITUTION IS THE SUPREME LAW
OF THE LAND.
IT THEN GOES ON TO SAY AND USES
CLEAR LANGUAGE, NO RELIGIOUS
TEST SHALL EVER BE REQUIRED.
THOSE ARE THE WORDS, NO AND
EVER YOU COME UP WITH NEVER.
SO THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF
ANSWERS THE QUESTION.
ONE OR TWO SENATORS WHO
SUGGESTED THIS WAS FAIR GAME,
WRONG, IT IS NOT ONLY
ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL, IT IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
MORE OVER, THE SUPREME COURT OF
THE UNITED STATES HAS MADE IT
CLEAR THAT THAT RULE ALSO
APPLIES TO STATES.
IT APPLIES EVERYWHERE, TO YOUR
LOCAL COMMUNITY.
YOU CANNOT BE INQUIRING INTO
RELIGIOUS FAITH AND PRACTICE
PERIOD, FULL STOP.
>> Bill: SO ADDRESS THIS, JOSH
HAWLEY RESPONDED TO SOME OF THE
TWEETS THAT CAME OUT FROM THE
LEFT AND HERE IS WHAT HE SAID
IN ONE OF THEM.
HE SAID DEMOCRATIC ACTIVIST AND
HILL STAFFERS QUESTIONING
WHETHER AMY CONEY BARRETT
ILLEGALLY ADOPTED HER CHILDREN
FROM HAITI, THIS IS A
DEMOCRATIC GAME PLAN?
NOTHING BUT RAW BIGOTRY AND
HATE AND IT WILL NOT STAND.
HOW DO YOU CONSIDER THAT IN THE
SETTING OF A HEARING IF IT
COMES UP?
>> A SENATOR HAS BEEN ELECTED
TO EXERCISE HIS OR HER JUDGMENT.
YOU CAN ASK ANYTHING.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE FOR BREAKFAST?
THERE ARE QUESTIONS THAT I
BELIEVE OUT OF BOUNDS AND IF
THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE ABOUT
ILLEGAL CONDUCT I THINK IT IS
IN BOUNDS.
BUT I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT TWO
VERY DISTINGUISHED LAWYERS, AMY
CONEY BARRETT AND HER HUSBAND
JESSE, BOTH VERY DISTINGUISHED
LAWYERS, WOULD ENGAGE IN
ILLEGAL CONDUCT. THIS IS ALL RUMOR.
THIS IS ALL RUMOR.
FROM EVERYTHING I KNOW, IT IS
UTTERLY -- SHAME ON THESE THE
SECULAR HUMANISTS WHO SEEM TO
ENJOY ASSAULTING FAITH AND
FAMILY.
SHAME ON THEM.
CAN’T YOU BE KIND?
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE KINDNESS AS
GLEN CAMPBELL WOULD PUT IT.
LET’S CALM IT DOWN AND BE
DECENT TO ONE ANOTHER AND TREAT
HER WITH DIGNITY.
>> Bill: ALL THOSE KIDS, SEVEN
OF THEM -- OCTOBER 12th
HEARINGS MAYBE A VOTE BY
OCTOBER 30th.
IS THAT DOABLE IN THIS CYCLE?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
IT IS UP TO THE CHAIR.
IT IS UP TO LINDSEY GRAHAM.
HE GETS TO RUN THE COMMITTEE.
ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND
SO HERE WE ARE.
SOME NOMINATIONS IN MY LIFETIME
HAVE GONE VERY, VERY QUICKLY.
SUPPOSEDLY CONTROVERSIAL
NOMINATIONS, JOHN PAUL STEVENS
TO REPLACE WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS.
IT CAN HAPPEN EFFICIENTLY.
IT IS UP TO THE CHAIRMAN.
I HAVE GREAT CONFIDENT IN
LINDSEY GRAHAM TO GET THE JOB
DONE.
>> Bill: WE SHALL SEE TOGETHER.
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT KIND OF
STUFF -- IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT BRETT KAVANAUGH A FEW
