Page 22 - Murkowski News Today

From a majority of democrats to move -- he says he plans to nominate by february, but this is a very, very close and divided summit, and if there is a sense there is a tragedy, anything can go wrong, you cant afford to lose a single democratic vote assuming you dont get any republicans. that said, there is some talk about the idea that this is one of these thing where is you might be able to get some bipartisan support, especially from senators collins and murkowski. and this is also seen as a r...

You just give up and look for a different way? >> he might get mitt romney, murkowski, who knows, but can he get ten republicans to vote alongside him? because thats what he needs, ten republicans to pass major legislation, unless theyre doing it through reconciliation. all right. so in talking about the numbers, again, and approval rating, and how americans are feeling, rev, when youre talking to other civic leaders, who is getting the blame for whats happening in washington? is joe biden getti...

Person who shares the presidents philosophy. elections have consequences. you will hear from g.o.p. lindsey graham, among those who voted for judge brown jackson, if she is the nominee. multiple republicans said if they are qualified, its their purview and the right they have as a president and not the only one, senator collins, senator murkowski. so if judge brown jackson is the nominee, they can stick and vote against they are, i dont think they peel off manchin or sinema. >> sandra: manchin i...

Democrats stay together behind whoever it is that biden nominates, and thats one of the reasons that the white house was so quick yesterday to make clear that they are standing behind president bidens campaign pledge to nominate a black woman to the supreme court. they have had a short list for quite some time dating back to the campaign of folks they think are qualified. chief among them is of course judge brown jackson, who is someone who is already on the appellate court and has the benefit o...

Reelected. collins just got reelected, murkowski is in a tough fight. i think all three of them are potential in play. lets dip in quickly to the president. >> -- growth in a long time. the strongest economic growth in 40 years. but we face some real challenges. weve got to get prices in check and for working people out there. thats why the last component of my plan is so important and why the support of these incredible business leaders means so much. let me start by saying -- lets take child...

Through this list, president bidens potential short list of picks. who stands out to you? >> yeah, don, i think any conversations going to start with the same two names. theres judge ketanji brown jackson whos currently on the d.c. circuit. very important appeals court in washington. she spent eight years on the district court bench in d.c. don, as you know, she was confirmed just last year by this same senate. 53-44. with three republican senators, senators collins, graham and murkowski joining...

Believing this notion that the 2020 election was stolen from them, and that mike pence had the ability to unilaterally overturn it. pence pushing back creates an off-ramp for those people to go from the radical side hopefully to the rational side, but i will still say this, lindsey. when i joined the republican party many, many years ago, our ambition was to be a big tent party. instead we are a big lie party at this point and its still an access of insurrectionists that are running the gop. >> ...

Votes of senators collins, murkowski and graham who today said -- on judiciary still said that as to breyers replacement they have the power to replace justice breyer in 2022 without one republican vote in support. elections have consequences. is it your sense from sort of knowing this body and knowing what is so stunning and the public facing notes of anxiety and angst from the chief justice and others about the political lens through which 60% of the americans view the court. will this court b...

Confirmation to the supreme court, folks like senator collins and senator murkowski. even though this is not likely to be an overwhelming vote in favor of a nominee, we havent seen that in quite sometime, the white house feeling fairly confident that regardless of which one of these women based left, theyre going to be able to get this through in fairly short order and it will help them change the narrative thats been so difficult for the biden administration over the last couple of months, will...

They still have a 6-3 majority on the supreme court. they still have what they think is a very strong agenda to use against president biden in the midterms. and so i think this is going to look very different, don, from the last couple of supreme court confirmation fights that weve been through. >> hey, steve, youve been going through this list, president bidens potential short list of picks. who stands out to you? >> yeah, don, i think any conversations going to start with the same two names. t...
