George W. Bush: 'It's a problem that Americans are so polarized' they can't imagine him being friends with Michelle Obama

Former President George W. Bush reflected in a new interview on the surprise many Americans expressed at his friendship with former first lady Michelle Obama.

 

In an interview released on Sunday with CBS News's Norah O'Donnell, Bush noted several times that his friendly relationship with Obama has gone viral, including when they hugged at the 2016 opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture and when he passed her a cough drop during former Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) 2018 funeral.

 

"It shocked me," Bush said of the reaction to the viral moment at McCain's funeral. "We got in the car, and I think Barbara or Jenna said, 'Hey, you're trending.''

Supreme Court Lifetime Appointments Opposed by 63% of Americans: Poll

6 hrs ago

 

A significant majority of Americans approve of ending lifetime appointments for Supreme Court judges, new polling shows.

 

A group of Democratic lawmakers on Thursday unveiled a proposal to "pack" the Supreme Court, adding four new justices so there would be 13 judges instead of the current nine. The effort came after former President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Senate added three new conservative justices to the nation's top court to replace deceased and retiring judges, shifting the courts balance to a 6-to-3 conservative majority.

 

While relatively few American support expanding the Supreme Court, according to the new polling by Reuters and Ipsos, most would like to see some kind of term or age limits placed on judges serving in the judicial body. The survey found that 63 percent of Americans approve of ending the current lifetime appointment system, which allows justices to serve until they retire, die or are impeached.

 

Just 22 percent said they would oppose term limits, and the rest of respondents did not have an opinion on the suggested change.

 

Meanwhile, just 38 percent of those polled said they would approve of adding four additional justices to the top court, as the group of Democratic lawmakers has proposed.Comparatively, 42 percent said they opposed the idea, and the rest of Americans were unsure.
