My view is if you want to destroy ISIL, you should not limit yourself to time, geography, or means. You should just destroy them.

Does America treat people humanely? My answer-- inhumanely. My answer is no, and from all I have seen, America's answer has always been no.

I would like to get out of that club.

And there was a crosscurrent here.

Well, is it fair to say that Judge Gorsuch, who I interacted with a lot, said that waterboarding is illegal under the Detainee Treatment Act?

I will fight to the death to say that you are equally qualified.

Neil Gorsuch is a very hostile appointment and a very bad decision, well outside the mainstream of American legal thought.

I have decided not to do that because I think it would put the country through something that is not going to bear fruit.

He never bought the idea that waterboarding was consistent with the Geneva Convention.

It would be news to the families who have lost a loved one in this fight. So I think we are at war.

I do not believe that waterboarding was ever an appropriate technique to gain information, and I am sure you agree with that.

I am going to make the argument that there is a compelling state interest at that stage of the pregnancy to protect the child against death that is going to be excruciatingly painful.

No matter who had won our primary, no one could have chosen better than Neil Gorsuch to represent conservatism on the Supreme Court.

The bottom line is, are we at war, in your view, as a Nation?

I thought they led exemplary lives quite frankly.
