Weve even been mocked on "saturday night live" for it. i thought last week the untold story was just how biassed top to bottom the press was on reporting the story. mika also expressed real concerns about political commentators going on networks and calling brett kavanaugh a rapist. columnists, respected columnists calling him a serial sexual predator. and there didnt seem to be the push back that there should have been from network executives, from opinion page editors. i thought the whole thin...

He said of judge kavanaughs partisan comments on the 27th of september, i think there were several commentators with written pieces that demonstrate his potential pie i cant say involving unusual potential litigants before the court that he would not be able to perform his full responsibility, its not healthy to get a new justice who can only do a part-time job. whats your concern that despite the job in the "wall street journal" that he damaged himself as it relates to the impartiality of a sup...

For revenge, some of the republican commentators today are crowing about the fact that they believe kavanaugh has been radicalized by this experience, and they hope he behaves as a anti-democratic vengeful radicalized judge on the bench. what should we look to in history in terms of understanding how the public may view the court in that context? because its still our supreme court, even if it does change with his elevation. >> yeah. the court loses respect for itself, it loses legitimacy. often...

>> other people arent. what theyre doing is. >> doesnt look like we have that audio. i want to bring back my political panel, commentators. republican strategist doug high and hillary rosen. i want you to react to these protests right now. as miguel said, no one there thought they would change a vote but clearly they want to be heard. for them, this confirmation is not the end of the story. maybe, in fact, just the beginning. >> i think were facing a couple of things. first of all, being heard i...

Seen the last couple years -- couple of weeks, that could suggest that the court is going to go in a very different direction. >> if the court does go in a very different direction, if kavanaugh does behave on the court in the way that he seemed to be threatening in that angry statement last week, where he is talking about what goes around, comes around. >> what goes around, comes around. >> against democratic senators on the left, anger in his statement, if that is borne out in terms of his beh...

Court, if he goes up there for revenge, some of the republican commentators today are crowing about the fact that they believe kavanaugh has been radicalized by this experience, and they hope he behaves as an anti-democratic vengeful radicalized judge on the bench. what should we look to in history in terms of understanding how the public may view the court in that context? because its still our supreme court, even if it does change with his elevation. >> yeah. the court loses respect for itself...

Shepard smith reporting. >> dana: live look at the senate floor where susan collins is set to announce her vote on judge brett kavanaugh. she may well be the deciding vote on whether judge kavanaugh is confirmed. the vote falling along party lines. among the commentators i have seen and read, those who support democrats embrace his accusers narrative and dismiss kavanaughs. those who support republicans side with kavanaughs narrative. i can think of few exceptions. im joined by former white hous...

Deciding case that justice stevens fully supports. so in saying hes a fine, federal judge, those were his words, a fine federal judge, justice stevens then said this -- >> but i think that his performance during the hearings caused me to change my mind. i think theres several commentators, larry tribe among them was a constitutional professor at harvard, have written pieces in which they suggest that he has alienated -- he has demonstrated a potential bias and enough potential lit gaens he would...

Piece to "the wall street journal" tonight. lets listen to what retired justice stevens said today in florida about what he saw in the hearing room last week. and this came today when justice stevens was speaking -- it came right after extended praise that he offered for brett kavanaughs years as a federal appeals court judge. in fact, justice stevens was especially pleased that justice kavanaugh approvingly cited justice stevens dissent in a deciding case that justice stevens fully supports. so...

Margins, and the president there is making it clear that he believes his voters want them to vote for judge brett kavanaugh. well find out soon if hes right about that. >> lets discuss this now with a bunch of smart people. sabrina siddiqui, scott jennings, and margaret hoover. scott, if i can lead with you. were hearing this now as sort of a unanimous view of, well, the president, republicans on the hill, but also republican commentators, that this is playing well for republicans. this is energ...
