That kind of accommodation and lack of a c# or disagreements ideologically? >> i think that is right. and also to the extent the court some people call a three -- three -- three court. three on the left, three on the right and three in the middle. and so you do not even need any of the progressive block to make a coalition if you will. but certainly there would be fewer opportunities of this sort that kagan and breyer orchestrated in a decade ago where john roberts switched famously on justifyin...

Tennessee. congressman, you in many ways represented the progressive block for quite a bit of time in the house. you now have a lot more company today. arguably than you did a decade ago. but you caught my eye on something earlier this week. it dove tailed with something said yesterday by clare mccaskill. a lot of the younger progressives have never been in the minority in congress, and you seem to be saying a version of the same thing going hey, you got to realize what the senate looks like ove...

All we want is medicare for everybody. $15 minimum wage. do you think thats a message that will work? >> the way that christine said it will work. the way bernie sanders said it is not. she was not out there saying i am a democratic socialist. she was talking about rights and thats the crux of this argument. we americans in persuit of life and liberty should have access to healthcare and education should be affordab ablable and only have a minimum wage but a living wage. it was not about the pro...
