The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to begin on Monday its highly anticipated confirmation hearing for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. In her opening statement, Judge Barrett will say the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia inspired her philosophy that "a judge must apply the law as written, not as the judge wishes it were." Nancy Cordes reports.
President Trump has nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Ilya Shapiro, director of the Robert A. Levy Center for constitutional studies at the Cato Institute, joined CBSN with how she could change the Supreme Court in the years to come.
Ilya Shapiro, director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute, joined CBSN to discuss the legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday at age 87, and the impact she made on the country's laws.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died Friday, and the nation suffered one more loss in a year replete with them. Bill Whitaker ends the broadcast with a note about the woman's rights pioneer.
"She said at one point that when they were judges together, initially on the appeals court, they sat next to each other and my dad would whisper jokes to her during arguments," Scalia's son recounted.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's famously close friendship with Justice Antonin Scalia seemed, at first glance, an unlikely pairing. "I think we were all aware that it publicly seemed like an odd couple, but you know, when they were together, it never felt like that," Scalia's son Chris said on CBSN.
The Supreme Court justice told Lesley Stahl about her view of the Constitution and her friendship with Antonin Scalia.
In 2008 Ginsburg told Lesley Stahl, “the genius of the United States is that, over, now, the course of more than two centuries, the notion of "we the people" has become ever larger.”
In a 2008 60 Minutes interview, Ginsburg talked about the mutual reverence for the court she and Antonin Scalia had, as well as the relationship the Supreme Court justices have with each other.
"If I see something in his opinion that I think is not well stated, I will call him or send him a note, just to him," Ginsburg said in a 2008 60 Minutes interview about her fellow Supreme Court Justice.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reportedly said she hopes to stay on the bench for at least another five years. Ginsburg made the comments after a play about the late Justice Antonin Scalia. She told journalists that she's 85, and that Justice John Paul Stevens was 90 when he retired, so she thinks she has at least that long.
Ginsburg, 85, also disputes the idea of setting term limits for justices, citing the Constitution
