Early america stuff that i am fine with. the idea that a couple, a handful of senators can just stop bills from even coming to the floor and getting an upward down vote, i just dont think that makes sense. in the house, weve got so many bipartisan bills, things that have passed with both democrat and republican support the do not even get an up or down vote in the senate because of those rules. >> at the moment, if joe manchin wins his reelection in west virginia, and the democrats were to hold ...

Order to go through committee, that even if the speaker didnt love, them we still got a number down, votes to the floor i think that to me is something were, we dont have to all like each others bills, lets give them an upper down vote, theyve gone through regular order. so the republicans propose some of that, but they put in so many other poison pills, that is when he gets buried. and id like to separate the good from the bad, and start from there if we ever get to that point. >> all, right it...

Pregnant people across the country. who are absolutely clear that they do not want any supreme court justices, or government, or republican elected officials in their bedrooms making their decisions. this is about the freedom that we have to determine life. it is not just about a short period of time. it is really about our entire lives before us. and the fact that we are the only ones who have the information that can make these decisions. and what you saw last night was overwhelming support, n...

Typically pass them very close to a government shutdown sometimes. so the bill will be crafted by just a handful of very high ranking members of congress and their staff who do it often behind doors negotiations, and then they roll out the complete product sometimes mere hours before a vote. so even if a member of congress really wants to do their due diligence, it is simply not possible so they end up voting for something they vent read and they have to get the whole package a single up/down vo...

Pinch. but at the same time, as i mentioned, unemployment is down, wages are up. >> well, it is always the big issue in every question. and, so if this is simply an upper down vote on the economy, it would be historically catastrophic elections. so, their mission, and jim remember this obviously since 2012, barack obama got reelected with an unemployment rate around a percent. the highest any president got reelected. but we made that a choice between what rodney would do for the economy. he woul...

The for the people act, or the freedom to vote act. but -- hes one of the principal authors. we heard him today, he said he would support rules changes by not ending the filibuster, where you dont have to end the filibuster in order to -- you dont even have to have a carve out in the filibuster, you can change rules in ways that would allow ultimately for an upper down vote. the filibuster has been so bastard over the years, you can do a lot short of getting rid of it, changing rules that would ...

Every senator could have spoken twice, that is actually in the senate rules, rule 19. then it wouldve been an upper down vote. that, which was a pretty simple way of doing this, and really would have allowed ample time for the murder nor the to do this case. it still wouldve worked against manchin and sinema. so, voting rights has died, basically on the sword of the filibuster. it is a long history. something chaff -- talked about at length, as you mentioned on the show. maybe we will come back,...

As part of the league’s Season of Giving, the NBA Foundation announces its largest grant round to date.

Day but inevitably in washington the talk turns to the high court and thats where we are once again. no vacancies on the court at this time. however if one opens in 2024 and the g.o.p. is the top dog in the senate, dont expect an up or down vote. >> i dont think either party, if it were different from the president, would confirm a supreme court nominee in the middle of an election. >> thats the minority leader, mitch mcconnell speaking. he famously refused to give then supreme court nominee mer...
