Overlap. i was interested in your article when she talks about, she didnt think it was too late for biden to revive his earlier vision. what do you think she meant by that? >> well, your point is a great one, that first of all, the issue of the border tends to be as andrea herself told me a kind of threshold issue that ends up determining the sort of sense of political possibility around all other issues within the broad frame work of immigration stuff. i think when she speaks about the fact tha...

Their path, still allowing the filibuster to stay in place, they made practical changes to get things done. sometimes on small things, but sometimes onll really, really b things like r supreme court justices, which mitch mcconnell did, like the bush and trump tax cuts, the trump tax cuts, the recent ones for the wealthy, all on 51-vote margins. >> senator klobuchar, you have beenbu telling this history in various waysen throughout the debate and particularly as the debate has p become more and m...

Majority in the senate and trump was inna office. during that time, right, republican senator mitch mcconnell is running the senate, trump is in the white house, during that time, mitch mcconnell and the senate republicans went nuclear and decided it would be a majority vote only, 50 votes only to confirm supreme court nominees. then mitch mcconnell went nuclear another time and said it would be 50 votes needed for lower executive branch nominees. then he went nuclear a third time and decided he...

Recognize it. i would not call up mexico a third world country there are parts of that country were cities, towns are in control of say drug cartels. they run the cities. the idea that los angeles, chicago, new york, parts of the cities are falling under the control of these gangs because they have no fear prosecution, is quite astonishing. here in new york city with the newly elected mayor, eric adams sings going to get control of crime in new york. but he has been at cross purposes the past tw...

Vote threshold in the united states senate is notn about a senate that doesnt work. its about bloke agenda that doesnt sell getting rid of the 60 vote threshold in the senate, in my judgment, would be like giving whiskey and car keys to a teenage boy who went to the biden administration has mismanaged covid. it has mismanaged inflation. it has mismanaged the border and it has mismanaged foreignd policy. all in one year. if aliens landed tomorrow and said take me to your leader ,it would be embar...

Reinstating the voting right acts preclearance provision which gave the department of justice the ability to challenge laws with a history of discrimination. that was destroyed by the supreme court under john roberts. the obstacle is republicans dont like this. there is not one vote for it. they are not going to vote for any of it. they will of course filibuster this legislation and 48 members of the democratic caucus are onboard to allow democrats to bypass that 60 vote threshold that has opini...

Bench. theres nothing republicans can do in a 50/50 senate to stop this confirmation, if all democrats stick together. but theres plenty they can do to slow it down. and anything that moves slowly gets a little bit more challenging to do in a 50/50 senate. all it takes is another covid case. the democrats will do everything they can to avoid that. as soon as the president names a name, i expect well see the formal process begin very quickly. democrats want to try to aim at that roughly a month t...

Justice coney-barrett. >> we have not even begun here. we dont have an official retirement so we have to work through a process here but do keep in mind that coney-barrett was pushed in as a justice when donald trump was already on the threshold of losing the presidency so this is a rather different moment. joe biden has just finished his first year of a four-year term in office and announced in general who he wants to look at for a supreme court nominee. we have been able to do background on a ...

Hes still sitting on the bench. >> sean: im not allowed, i cant do it. theyre going to yell at me and i want to get my ice-cream cone. anyway, right off the bat, biden is excluding all potential candidates who are not african american women. but ask yourself, isnt this agenda in and of itself discriminatory? imagine we put out a pole, we said okay, next time im on vacation, you get to pick the villain for the show and they have what two categories only can you choose from? you decide. would that...
