what i ve done is i ve take been four people and done the deep dive on them, meaning this thorough background checks and to see if there s anything in the background that would make them not qualified. is it important that you believe they will get a vote from the republican side? well, i think whomever i pick will get a vote from the republican side for the following reason, i m not looking to make an ideological choice here, i m looking for someone to replace judge breyer with the same kind of capacity judge breyer had, with an open mind, who understands the constitution, and interprets it in a way that is consistent with the mainstream interpretation of the constitution. i know there s a lot going on in the news right now, but this particular decision, who biden chooses to nominate for a lifetime appointment on the supreme court could be one of the most significant decisions that he makes in his entire time in office, and he s narrowed that decision now down to four potentia
biden scoring much needed political wins. what that means for him and his administration, how long he needs to keep this momentum going. chris cillizza, we re going to have to have that conversation at a later date. thank you so much, chris. happy to do it. check out that article, though, from chris cillizza, the job of a supreme court justice, it is a lifetime appointment. but what about their lifetime partners. could their influence be a concern? that s next. taking metamucil everyday can help. metamucil psyllium fiber, gels to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down. it also helps lower cholesterol and slows sugar absorption to promote healthy blood sugar levels. so you can feel lighter and more energetic metamucil. support your daily digestive health. and try metamucil fiber thins. a great tasting and easy way to start your day. ever wonder what everyone s doing on their phones? they re banking, with bank of america. his girlfriend just caught the bouquet,

reversed. i expect that she will get confirmed. democrats have a 50/50 split in the senate. vice president harris breaks the tithe. i don t see why any democratic senator would vote against her. shannon: she got republican votes but there are republicans saying this is different. i m going to look at it with fresh eyes. lifetime appointment. senator lisa murkowski said i ve been clear that voting to confirm an individual to a lower court does not signal how i will vote for supreme court justice. do my due diligence. we heard a similar statement from senator joe manchin saying that i m going to take this advice and consent think seriously. what do you think her meetings will be like and her time before the committee? she has got a winning personality. people saw that. she is gregarious. really grateful and very american i would say. i don t think the affirmative-action charge will really get any purchase.
