Bush, he was told that he was going to be the \u201cdesignated survivor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was the night of Bush\u2019s State of the Union address, a moment when basically every single person\u00a0 in line to be president if Bush died was on hand in the Capital to listen. Gonzalez\u2019s role was to get on an airplane and simply fly around while the speech was being given just in case of disaster. If that happened, Gonzalez would assume the role of president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery major department in the federal government had a representative there with a thick binder that explained all the protocols, classified procedures for them,\u201d Gonzalez told a class of UTC students on Friday, Nov. 30. He said that, while watching the president give the State of the Union, &#8220;it suddenly hit me, \u2018Oh my gosh, if something happened back at the Capitol, I would be President of the United States!\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was one of the thoughts that Gonzalez, who served from 2005 until 2007 under Republican President Bush, offered to students in the \u201cIntroduction to Judicial Process\u201d class. Gonzalez is now dean of the College of Law at Nashville&#8217;s Belmont University.<\/p>\n<p>The class is taught by Deardorff, head of the Department of Political Science and Public Service, who says that, along with Gonzalez, she has brought in judges, prosecuting and defense lawyers and others to speak to the students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to get them to move from description to analysis, to make sure they\u2019re capable of doing that before we move them to the upper-division law classes,\u201d she said. \u201cThe second thing we have to do is we want them\u00a0to see how the theory connects to the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his 50-minute talk, Gonzalez discussed such topics as the structure and role of the federal judiciary and the role of the president and Congress in the judicial nomination and confirmation process. He also discussed characteristics such as intelligence, courage, previous experience and discipline that he thinks are necessary attributes that judges, including justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, must have.<\/p>\n<p>One topic raised by students was the recent confirmation hearing held for new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Accusations that he sexually assaulted two women, one in prep school and one in college, raised during the hearing, allegations that directly tied into his character.<\/p>\n<p>As attorney general, Gonzalez hired Kavanaugh to work as a lawyer on his team and said, \u201cI have confidence in Brett.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose of us who worked with Brett and know him as adult, all of us were shocked by the allegations. I\u2019m not saying they didn\u2019t happen; I don\u2019t know,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cHe is incredibly bright. And even though Brett is very conservative, he doesn\u2019t wear it on his sleeve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also was asked about the role of social media in\u00a0changing the longstanding guidelines and procedures for how government operates. \u201cI think the norms are really changing and I don\u2019t think all those changes are to the good, honestly,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t hazard a guess on how or which direction it\u2019s going to change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like to think that we still have certain expectations of qualifications and morals, of integrity, of the people who occupy our highest offices in this country. In the Oval Office is the most powerful person in the world. And I like to think that power, which can affect your life, your property, your liberty, is constrained by the rule of law, constrained by the Constitution. I want to know that person is not going to use that power \u2026 for personal or political gains. That\u2019s not right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can think of very few occupations where integrity matters more than the President of the United States. I\u2019m surprised about some of the things this president says. I like a lot of the policies this president has done; I don\u2019t like the way the president treats people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He is especially concerned by Trump\u2019s recent calling out of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for its ruling that his immigration policies were unconstitutional. Trump called the court \u201ca disgrace\u201d and \u201ca complete and total disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A president can respectfully disagree with a court\u2019s decision without making it personal or deliberately antagonistic, Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it\u2019s OK to disagree; sometimes the courts get it wrong; that\u2019s why we have courts of appeals; that\u2019s why we have the U.S. Supreme Court,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cBut to criticize, to challenge the judges being political or unqualified raises the possibility that all of us lose confidence in our judiciary. I think that\u2019s a dangerous place to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope the White House counsel is advising the president: \u2018You know what? This isn\u2019t any good for anybody.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alberto Gonzalez comes to UTC to discuss the U.S. judiciary and its role in our government and society.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2018\/11\/former-u-s-attorney-gonzalez-offers-his-insights-to-students\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":24303,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7712,10170,64,12778],"tags":[83341],"class_list":{"0":"post-24301","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-faculty-and-staff","8":"category-lectures-and-speakers","9":"category-news","10":"category-political-science","11":"tag-alberto-gonzalez","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
