Continuing to go down. this is not bipartisan effort or bipartisan hearings. doug collins wrote a letter to jerry nadler. throughout this hurried impeachment process i requested near fairness from members of the majority, equal distribution of ex-period of times for the december 4th hearing would be a small concession to demonstrate to the american people this impeachment inquiry is not merely political theater. that is a great point what he is saying. democrats are bringing for academics to dis...

The american people. im not sure even in watergate they understood all the nuances. remember, we had a whole slew of charges. it wasnt just the cover-up. it was illegal wiretapping, it was trying to get the irs to audit political enemies. okay, so -- and a lot of other things. im not sure they got it all. but they saw that it was a proper, fair process. so i think -- i dont think you can make predictions about it. i think the democrats are doing it in a fair and reasonable fashion. what will hap...

Profound threat to democracy and a sharaand. thats the way you kick off an important week thats supposed to be partisan. >> two years ago i stood before you and i urged you to resist and you did. we are more than resistance now. we are a majority. we are a majority in one house and we will become the majority in the other and we will send-we will send that charlatan in the t white house, back to the golden throne he came from. >> oh, yeah, were going to get a real fair process. he has written th...

Legitimacy on both sides. i think these guidelines put in place by devos will do that they will give the whole process more integrity and more satisfying conclusion i think will come from having a more fair process in place. >> martha: it also divides which pieces are possible to adjudicate on campus. and just so everyone knows the panels that make these huge decisions affecting peoples lives are usually three professors who has been picked sort of somewhat randomly to listen to this case and de...

Fundamentally undermine? >> before we get to the 2020 election for every state in the union to go back and reevaluate their voting process, look at the way the ballots are put together, to clarify where there may be confusion as some comments noted so as we go into what will be a very contentious presidential election in 2020, we can take this issue off the table. now, it wont be complete. we know that. i think in large measure when you look at how this played out, the actions taken by certain e...

Through before real allegations could be investigated and that the fbi probe didnt go far enough and republicans will always say this is just an effort by democrats to delay all along both before dr. fords name surfaced and after and it was also not a search for the truth. so its almost amazing. partisan characterizations of the other side are like a mirror of each other. we know that the senators that tried to push for this, senator flake with senator coons, the democrats backing. so in an effo...

The reporter who later wrote the story. that was long before any democrat knew what was going on. she felt a sincere need to come forward. to call her political, which is what by ricochet the leader is doing is so unfair and so wrong. to call all three of these women who came forward, whether you believe them or not, as political actors is treating women in the same way that unfortunately too many women, as weve learned over the last few years, have been treated in the past. that doesnt mean all...

Used for political purposes. i think again, thats what the democrats have been doing from day one. >> neil: they say the same of republicans. that might shock you. let me ask you about the timetable for this, senator. mr. connell has said likely a friday vote out of committee. setting the stage for everyone staying in town for debate that would end with a tuesday vote in the full senate. is that doable? given these other womens charges? >> you know, from a timing standpoint, it will depend on wh...

Misconduct but theyre not accusing them in a criminal setting, not in a court setting. >> yeah, its really a challenging question for me to answer, and its a challenging thing for the senate to deal with. one of the reasons there are no rules for the senate, theres no burden of proof, there are no rules of evidence determining what theyre allowed to consider versus not. and no doubt they will look to civil and criminal rules for guidance, but theyre not bound by them, and thats because theres no...

Minorities in the house of representatives for democrats make up something like 32% and 42% of lawmakers in the house respectively. we have seen how women and minorities have been rushing it in elections this cycle. it is no secret because of that that congress will look more diverse after november. i dont think that means well be a gender parity. but at least on the democratic side, we could expect it to be more loose and more women. >> it will be interesting to see that composition and whether...
