His judicial record on roe v. wade, health care, pre-existing conditions almost in detail that changed or at least stopped when these sexual assault allegations came out. but the threshold based on how she felt about his record was so high she basically laid out she needed to see a lot to change that threshold. she went through a supplementary background check, the entire thing, read through it, talked to people, the entire staff im told. but in the end she was not only comfortable with the reco...

Votes. but i wonder whether or not because of that, because of the fact that were now openly saying you can just jam this through on a straight party line vote, whether it makes supreme court nominations, all nominations more partisan. >> look, 60 votes was never the threshold. that was something that was theoretically was out there as an option, but none of the senators viewed it as a real thing that was done to supreme court justices. chris: they did do it to lower court justices. >> only star...

Administration officials who have lost their jobs because of it. in my state, a fellow went to prison over something where the fbi agent remembered a statement, did not have a recording, just remembered it. thats the kind of scrutiny and threshold that typically is record. i think it should have the same threshold now. >> tucker: i do too. are you going to follow this? >> this is up to the judiciary committee. its up to chairman grassley. the way i look at it, the statements that brett kavanaugh...

Weve had high ranking administration officials who have lost their jobs because of it. in my state, a fellow went to prison over something where the fbi agent remembered a statement, did not have a recording, just remembered it. thats the kind of scrutiny and threshold that typically is record. i think it should have the same threshold now. >> tucker: i do too. are you going to follow this? >> this is up to the judiciary committee. its up to chairman grassley. the way i look at it, the statement...

So effective and why this did not work. why christine blasey ford was not affected and did not have the intended result of making sure that brett kavanaugh was not confirmed and that story was, it was not really controversial. everyone agreed that it was a good story, it was very solidly reported because it was very careful. it met a high threshold. not everybody is a harvey weinstein. hes certainly unique with the crimes he allegedly committed but the threshold should be that high. i hear peopl...

Appointments confirmed to be federal judges either at the appellate level or district court level, and he simply needs a simple majority. >> listen, you know, we can debate about whether or not it was a good idea for lower courts. the one thing that harry reid and democrats understood was when you come to the supreme court of the united states you need to preserve that bipartisan vote that is necessary, that 60-vote threshold. we didnt eliminate it then. if not, merrick garland would have been o...

Should meet a threshold of more likely than not as our standard. the facts presented do not mean that professor ford was not sexually assaulted that night or at some other time, but they do lead me to conclude that the allegations failed to meet the more likely than not standard. therefore, i do not believe that these charges can fairly prevent judge kavanaugh from serving on the court. >> garrett haake, was susan collins endorsement and yes vote of brett kavanaugh a big surprise, or was it a po...

Candidacy for the supreme court. i hope we can get to a better process moving forward, but the seeds of this from my perspective happened by the actions of republicans, both in stopping merrick garland and changing the rules about what a vote to approve a supreme court justice would take. >> dont you think harry reed and your fellow democrats deserve some of the blame for that because when harry reed was the majority leader in the senate, he moved to do away with the 60-margin vote, and mitch mc...

But the uncorroborated mud and the partisan noise and the physical intimidation of members here in the senate will not have the final say around here. the senate will have the final say. so madam president, were almost at the end of the runway. the cross of anger and fear and partisanship have blown strong these past weeks. they have harmed a good man and his family. they have tarnished the dignity of this institution, but all of it can end today. the time has come to vote. the senate stands on ...
