A founder answers to be substantive and thoughtful and she's impressive individual look forward to continuing to listen to what she has today. As she goes to the hearing process have made final decision. But obviously she's a strong candidate."
[0:35]" He is or something or are there things specifically you're looking for and -- looking to learn more about her position on those issues."
[0:44]" Now really on issues specifically I just wanted to understand her approach to jurisprudence. Whether she used. Staying within the four corners of the constitution is a priority. Whether she looks to present -- to determine how you decide -- case. Or whether she approaches. -- sort of new political correctness it's being. To what some are law schools which is its whatever you'd say no with a loss."
[1:10]" And on the subject of supreme court's David Souter I don't you know him. I'm sure he's looking forward to private life but we I'm sure you'll miss him on the court."
[1:21]" Well David Souter is. A wonderful individual as good friend. He's obviously I've had differences hilltop positions on a few cases to say at least that I admire his intellectual capabilities strengthen the the members spree -- it was obviously nice for New Hampshire have a member of the Supreme Court. We welcome back -- New Hampshire -- never really -- stories that's where his heart and that's where he's physically and a lot of times those guys I -- coming back there and wait buyers service."

Live together but marriage has -- tradition. Hit Judeo Christian tradition of being between him and the woman for purposes appropriation. Having children. I think -- which -- so I don't agree that the law."
[2:29]" Senator Gregg on the issue of health care I know you are behind in an effort to reform our nation's health care system tell us what you'd like to see what reforms."
[2:39]" But Hibbert started her great America sham insurance that protects them from catastrophic event -- so that you don't afterward losing your house and losing your. Here savings if you get sick. Every American should have access to good quality child care. In addition we need to incentivized prevention regions -- healthy lifestyles. We need change airlock to allow. Health insurers to do that. What we really don't need though is a system where the government comes into his control and health care systems you end up with Washington bureaucrat between you and your doctor. And up with the texas' and they haven't -- which lead to delays in England area delays and you have -- rationing people -- certain age. Where they simply can't get treatment in time to. Interest there needs. So. As we -- health care system here as we reform it my view is humidity make coverage available to everybody. He encourage prevention -- in Georgia healthy lifestyles. He tried to -- the cost her so that basically. We can afford our health system what you don't end up with some sort of nationalization or single Payer plan as it is being proposed here in Washington unfortunate by the administration."
[3:51]" And just how partisan is a debate."
[3:53]" Well right now there's a very aggressive bipartisan effort here in the Senate led by senator baucus. And I'm a member of the group -- about xmas in this group kind of -- and position here that can be reached and where we're making we were making very good progress until yesterday when the president came -- said that he basically wanted to government plan. As a non starter for a lot of us as we do feel strong -- in most Republicans feel strongly that you do you know on a plan where Washington. There was between you and your doctor. And public plans inevitably lead to rationing. And to -- into delays in delivery of health care and their not a good way to approach this approach reforming the system."
[4:35]" Well good luck on that front sounds like. Big battle ahead."
[4:38]" Could be hopefully it will make some progress."
