That the American People should have a voice in the decision of the next Supreme Court justice President Trump leader mcconnell chairman graham. Have already announced they will ignore their own standard democrat senator Chuck Schumer quoted a number of republicans own words from 2016 opposing Supreme Court nominations in Election Years now these words dont apply.

It was a trailblazer in her passing should be mourned and our allies should be celebrated but under the constitution we have a job, yes, and its a huge difference from his attitude when Antonin Scalia died in 2016 and thats when Lindsey Graham supported a move by Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to refuse a confirmation hearing for president obama has nominee merrick garland, they said that it wouldnt be right to confirm a justice during an Election Year that was 237 days before the 2016 election.

The team posted this video on twitter in a way of celebrating the news, this is the 3rd Straight Year that oakland has made it to the playoffs as you know though each of the last 2 seasons theyve been eliminated in the wildcard game. So lets see if we can do better this year the as of the first team to clinch the division title. Oakland begins a series against the dodgers tonight in los angeles. As for the raiders they open up their new stadium in las vegas with a big win over the new orleans saints. Heres a look at the 2 billion dollars allegiance stadium. The black hole as i like to call it. And here you have the eternal flame. Carol davis, the widow of late owner, al davis helped light it in honor of her late husband, all right, lets get to the game highlights here we are 2nd quarter raiders quarterback derek carr hitting zay jones. Nice got it right in their 15 yard touchdown. And then in the 2nd half here he is connecting with Darren Waller for a touchdown to take the lead in the 3rd quarter. Derek carr ended up throwing for 282 yards 3 touchdowns in all the raiders beat the saints 34 to 24 they are now 2 and oh on the season. The raiders will head next to. The new England Patriots are going to face them on sunday. And lets get latest on the fortyniners they could really be hobbled on sunday, a number of key players on offensive and defensive side went down and that win over the jets. Yeah, it was kind of tough to watch and what does this mean for the season ahead thats the big question kron fours will tran live at levi stadium with more on the story. Boy twentytwenty keeps on will. This time it hit the needs and to key players. 4 on the defensive end it hit most turned on his knee as well and jimmy g so. Niners not really they would probably change i would imagine they would rather lose and then when in terms of their players still healthy, but unfortunately theyre not you occurred to me guys the niners havent played here since they play the nfc championship game against im sorry they play the Arizona Cardinals but they hope to get back here obviously to the super bowl another road is a lot tougher without a couple of key superstars not just players but superstars lets get right to the highlights. This was passed sunday, jimmy g is the star of the niners make no mistake about it hes the face and a good looking pace at that hes the face and then his knee gave out on a tackle in the 1st half he hangs in there, but he doesnt come back out in the 2nd half. Hes questionable for this sunday right he most hurt he takes off in a blaze first play for the San Francisco fortyniners 80 yards. He was clocked at going a cool 23 miles per hour. He sprained his mcl not as bad easy for me to say not as bad so he is out this sunday but not out for the season. Unfortunately, nick both psyche is that was rock on the defensive and rookie of the year second overall draft choice, 22 years old. His knee gives out when he was basically pancakes blocked in the 1st quarter he knew it right away, i knew right away when he grabbed his knee and then you got carted off. 2 plays later solomon thomas, he also tears up his knee as well so both plays are out. But thats why they have a defense they have so many players on the team coach Kyle Shanahan, basically not accepting any excuses saying next man up. We do have a lot of good players t. Players of people know about who i think can still get better and how something theres a lot of people that people dont know about on this opens up opportunities for get better so yeah, you lose a great guy like that. Its tough. But look at our rooms and stuff and know that so that a lot of guys out there are no play good football and give us a chance to win every game that we show up for. The niners our not back in the bay area they typically stay on the east coast if they have back to back games and sure enough they play at the same field james and darya that they warned the nfl about they walk through that field and said know if somethings not right, its 2 new its sticky is grabbing your cleats whenever we plant them and sure enough they have players that went down the jets, they also suffered some injuries as well although not as catastrophic. As the niners the niners will be back on the same field on sunday against the new york giants and then when theyre back on the field area. Kyle shanahan might not pick up the bill sometimes the i was wondering in that interview he knew at that time that that cost him a 100 grand the way he was wearing that mask around his neck. During the game. He knew that right does he seem kind of down when he was talking, i thought he might have raised today during the press coverage. They knew about it going into the game there were warned after first week on your mask, but they didnt do that its not like hes talking they have a headset on put on your mask. Im just curious story, im serious about this yeah you were the wife of Kyle Shanahan are you upset at him. But a 100,000 per 100,000 right yeah, i like any team has to pay 250 grand. And were showing gruden he didnt get caught i saw so many will so many coaches last sunday where where the slaying instead of over the mouth and the nose like the nfl warned. So its kind of but shandy got caught and 2 other coaches and 2 other teams have to pay the price. Its a million bucks come by for those 3 teams. Seahawks and broncos too. So. What you think hell put that ive seen in the press conference i think he should have put it you know just to be safe keep it open all times even at home. James you lost money care be telling you im just going to say i just know that he was not a good night when he got home pets as well yeah, i get we have money but a 100 grand 100 we didnt have to spend.

Its 7 19 and in california more than a Million People are waiting for their unemployment claims to be processed and this comes as the state put a pause on the Unemployment Development Department for 2 weeks. In an effort to overhaul the system with kron fours dan kerman now to explain. A new study in the states unemployment system finds the employment Development Department has a backlog of nearly 600,000 californians whove applied for Unemployment Insurance more than 21 days ago, and yet their claims have not been processed. Theres also an estimated 1 million cases where individuals receive payments but subsequently modified their claim and thus are awaiting resolution we can plot along. In the short run we can plot along in the medium run we can have a Long Term Strategy or we can come up with new ideas from a different angle. The governor has opted for new ideas and with that has implemented 2 week reset. During that time the state will not accept any new unemployment applications as staff has reconfigured the new technology is deployed to create a faster and better experience for those using the system those people in the next 2 weeks will actually really benefit from this implementation where we make sure they go through an automated process versus having to kick out into a manual that will allow them to get even sooner if theyre eligible dealing with the backlog is not something that will happen overnight in fact. It wont be completed until the end of january but the governor says hes committed to making things better. The reset started this weekend. I didnt want to wait another day to start this reset period to get system back on its feet and get us to a position where we can address this significant number backlog cases. Now that backlog doesnt just go away with the flip of a switch on january 31st, in fact its a gradual process day by day by day leading up to that point the governor says the key here is not adding to the backlog along the way.
