accountable questions like this. do not diminish yourself and the court and the work you serve with these cheap shots. the supreme court is an old diminished institution. the are a few quick fixes for these. but that has its own dilemmas of partisan pay back and warfare. durbin does have a proposed bill to strengthen the cower's required dependent investigations of violations. i can tell you over 40% of the senate actually cosponsored it, but all democrats while republicans are blocking a floor vote on that very bill, which would try to fix this. as for the facts a more binding approach to ethics is clearly required because exactly of justice like samuel alito, trafficking in spin and apparent
june 24 marks two years since the hand-picked majority on the supreme court overturned roe v. wade with the dobbs ruling, stripping the right for abortion access for american women. ahead of that anniversary, congressional democrats are stepping up their efforts to protect what is left of reproductive rights. house democrats unveiled a plan to try to force a vote to codify the right to birth control access, yes i said birth control, and force republicans to go on the record opposing the right to access all fda approved contraception. the measure would require 218 signatures, and majority of the house, to get around republican leadership and force a floor vote. >> it is time for republicans
america. >> he became the man from the district in louisiana to the speaker of the united states. and look at the entire world had to carry the burden of that and make the right decision. >> rank and file member at johnson largely oppose funding for ukraine. he cited his debriefings from intelligence officials as the reason for his 180 and why he decided to move ahead with a floor vote on the 60 billion-dollar ukraine bill on saturday. more democrats voted to pass that which angered hard-line conservatives who did not want to advance it without measures for the southern border. as lawmakers had to a weeklong recess congresswoman marjorie taylor green leaves it will feel the anger from their constituents and back the effort to oust johnson. she said on "sunday morning futures" with maria this morning johnson should step down or he will be vacated. some democrats may be willing to cross the aisle and save it jjohnsonif that does happen.
republicans opposing it. then you have to look at the overall though. it was a bipartisan vote. well over two thirds of the house supported it and that's hard to get a mother's day this year. we always knew the votes were there. it was a matter of whether or not there would be a time for a floor vote. >> conversely, on the israel question you had 37 democrats voted no on the aid israel arguing that there needs to be conditions on offensive weapons amid this rising death toll, the humanitarian crisis in gaza. democratic congressman jason who voted for the measure, he told me on the show yesterday that he really struggled with the provision because he had been pushing hard for shift in israeli tactics. do support the protest vote and i'm curious what kind of leverage members of congress are going to have who share these concerns right now. >> these are legit concerns. we are trying to do two things at once that are hard. we are trying to help israel defend itself. the attack shows
the four foreign aid bills, the ukraine bill among them, to the full house. less than 12 hours later the democratic caucus again helped move the bills along, voting with republicans to set up a floor vote on the bills. as the new york times notes, what happened in the rules committee basically never happens at all. the rule for considering a bill is historically a straight party line vote passed with more democrats than republicans. this essentially formalizes something of a coalition government in the house of representatives. a coalition government born of the fact that republicans have shown that between their slim is already, two or three votes in the marjorie taylor green maga caucus, they are simply incapable, utterly, of governing on their own. that is something california democratic congressman eric swalwell pointed out to me last night. >> we've raised the debt ceiling and provided the majority of the votes to do that. we expelled the fraudster santos, provided the majority of votes to do that and i expect on ukraine, we will
spark a revolt on the right and hit his field. new calls to oust him from the speakership. a third republican member that's paul gosar of arizona, announced today that he was signing on to officially co-sponsor that resolution on the motion to vacate the speakership. other highlanders not quite ready to go that route though, making their fear three with the speaker known, but speaker mike johnson has delivered a forceful defense of his plans on foreign aid. take a listen we would we would write if republicans were in charge of the house and senate and the white house this is the best possible product that we can get. >> these circumstances to take care of these really important and so we let look forward to every member conscience and their desire. and that is exactly how this process is supposed to work and how the house is supposed now, the house has adjourned for the de already. >> so the earliest that marjorie taylor greene could actually force a floor vote on the motion to vacate is tomorrow. that is the same day
foreign aid bills on the floor. there's also just a lot of concern about the chaos of yet another potential motion to vacate and the harm that could do to the institution long-term. a few feeling certainly shared by many republicans as well. >> so what happens now so the house is going to vote tomorrow on these foreign aid bills that is likely to pass with the support democrats. >> and then it's going to head over to the senate the timeline a little less clear. there. the senate is scheduled to be on recess this next week, so it's something they could pick up after the recent that's and president biden did say he would sign these bills if they come to his desk, but some of the things anderson that we are watching out for tomorrow are does marjorie taylor greene finally forced this floor vote on the motion to vacate, do any more republicans get behind her and importantly, as we mentioned to democrat, step up and say, they are committed and willing to saving johnson speakership. so just a lot to look out for here on capitol hill over the next 24 hours. anderson, louise. thanks very much so what are those who know mike johnson best think about
put this package of critical foreign aid bills on the floor. there's also just a lot of concern about the chaos of yet another potential motion to vacate& the harm that could do to the institution long-term. a feeling certainly shared by many republicans as well. >> sure what happens next? >> so the house is going to vote tomorrow on these foreign aid bills that is likely to pass with the support of democrats. and then it's going to head over to the senate the timeline little less clear there. the senate is scheduled to be on recess this next week, so it's something they could pick up after the recess and president biden did say he would sign these bills if they come too his desk, but some of the things anderson that we are watching out for tomorrow are does marjorie taylor greene finally forced this floor vote on the motion to vacate. do anymore republicans get behind her? and importantly, as we mentioned, to democrat, step up and say, they are committed and willing to saving johnson's speakership. so just a lot to look out for here on capitol hill over the next 24 hours, sanderson will is unknown and thanks very much. so. what are those who know mike johnson
marjorie taylor greene could potentially force a floor vote on this motion to vacate is tomorrow. that is also when house is expected to vote and pass that package of foreign aid bills before they send them over to the senate. but just given the simple math here, given that there's three republicans on this resolution and that at this point, johnson can only afford to lose two republicans on party-line votes. that means that he is going to have to rely on democrats to potentially bail him mouth and save his speakership. now, democrats have not made any commitments just yet, but they have signaled some willingness to save him. and that is because they appreciate the fact that he was willing to defy his right flank, put this package of foreign aid bills on the floor. i package that does closely mirror the senate passed version. and there's also just some general concern, not just among democrats, but also among republicans about the chaos of a potential motion to vacate. but of course, around here in this congress, nothing is guaranteed. so it's certainly something we're going to be watching out for it and the coming days. there for in some ways to feel sick, the chaos is guaranteed though in this congress. but i'm going to maybe that's just me. melody.
