Once i select a nominee, ill ask the senate to move promptly on my choice. in the end, i will nominate a historic candidate, someone whos worthy of justice breyers legacy, and someone who, like justice breyer, will provide incredible service on the united states supreme court. >> that was president joe biden earlier today promising that he will announce his pick for the supreme court by the end of february and that his nominee will be a black woman as promised. in the weeks between now and then,...

Nomination confirmed because joe biden is expected to make that pick by the end of this month. then they expect about a 40-day confirmation process. so that could potentially put it into april or so before we see those key votes. now, that also assumes that theres not going to be any hiccups in the confirmation process, nothing that changes the trajectory and everything goes okay with ben ray luhans return expected in four to six weeks time and they keep all their votes together. in a key moment...

Just as apparently it must have been an important factor for barack obama to choose joe biden. it seems to me now, that same kind of care is looking at the nominees and saying, who among them has already been confirmed by the united states senate? it is hard for me to see this decision being made for someone who has never gone through the confirmation process. >> lawrence, i obviously agree that senate confirmation is a big advantage for someone. they are familiar with the process itself and the...

Now, the u.s. supreme court has the final word on any legal appeals that come before it, with adherence to the u.s. constitution as the guiding principle, of course. their decisions can directly affect daily life in america for generations. the court is made up of nine justices, who span really the political spectrum from the left to the right as you can see on your screen. under former president trump, three right leaning justices were confirmed, giving conservatives a 6-3 majority. the most re...

Confirmation process, maybe i should, but i default to the word battle because thats the way its portrayed in the press. maybe it wont really be a battle, some conservative activists are saying they are not planning to go scorched earth against president bidens nominee to replace justin stephen breyer. since whoever the nominee is will not change the balance of the court. but lets be honest, fox wants a fight. right wing radio and tv wants a fight. they need a fight over the supreme court. they ...

Theyve talked to people and say to them who say, ive never voted in an election so far, and get them to the polls. with donald trumps message, will democrats be able to do the same? is the supreme court nomination something that will help the democrats in november? >> certainly, and it already has. i think its been out there for about a month. we know hes gonna pick a black woman, and that is a good thing. by doing that, biden will get a little bit more of an electoral van as we move into the sp...

Case of really terrible and historic lawlessness into sort of a culture war, where half the people say hooray for the patriots. theres no doubt about that, as a matter of culture and politics. and that is very toxic in and of itself. >> while we have you, i want to pivot to the supreme court briefly. you think about the process. i was taking a listen to the daily a few days ago talking about the supreme court process now versus years ago. you actually helped shepherd justice stephen breyer throu...
