Very clear message that theyre all wanting to vote out senators that supported kavanaugh in all this. that said, one of the plans by one of the organizing groups is to get as many people as they can into the capitol and possibly into the gallery itself to see if they can disrupt the proceedings when the vote comes around. see if theyre successful. a lot of police are around to make sure they dont get out of control. >> we appreciate it. thank you so much. joining me, south regional director fr...

Conscious, i could not conclude that he is the right person for the court at this time. >> maryland democrat, chris van holland complained bitterly about the process. >> the decision to plow right through will undermine and haunt the integrity of the supreme court for decades to come. >> 31 days out from the midterm election and the supreme court bite seems to have ignored it both sides. >> when you hear these democrats talking about plowing through with the nomination they look at harry reid wh...

Our television screens. dana: right. >> it was not a pretty sight for the senate or the country. dana: and when we led into the segment we showed a tweet from president george h.w. bush, 41, hes in maine where senator collins is from and george w. bush, he obviously didnt tweet, but a lot of people say they havent seen the g.o.p. this united in many, many years and george w. bush played a role behind the scene talking to senators where he could because of course, he supported brett kavanaugh. te...

Assault, and only 2% of women make up stories about sexual assault, so the culture war pinning women against men, women, i hope in particular democratic women will be inspired and well see a record number of women going to the polls for midterm in the same way we have seen a record number of women running for office. i cant imagine anyone, a mother, daughter, anyone thats watched the process and the thought of a man thats been accused credibly by three women of sexual assault is ascending to the...

Theres a lot of irony in whats happening. chief among them is the democrats i think were trying to boric kavanaugh in order to perhaps juice up their enthusiasm. maybe increase their numbers in the margin. in the midterm. but right now, the enthusiasm gap has evaporated if you believe the poll. and the generic ballot has gone to neck in neck. well have a good midterm as well. the other irony, sure. this was this is kennedys seat. if you look back, this was roberts seat. he got as we say hes. >> ...
