i think one thing overlooked it's possible to force an actual talking filibuster and get back to the traditions of the senate, if democrats want to filibuster this nomination, they should follow the advice of the heritage foundation, rachel bow vard wrote a piece in the hill today she talked about the two speech rule which would enforce a natural talking filibuster. that's what the people want to see. >> elizabeth, your thought on that? >> i think neil gorsuch is going to be confirmed this week but i think he'll be confirmed after senator mcconnell changes the rules. i agree wheith brian. i think it's a mistake. i think it really undermines the role of the senate. listen, the supreme court is -- it's a critical appointment they're dealing with. and they should be able to have some kind of middle ground consensus requirement that's what 60 votes does. the president has come up short in terms of his ability to find a consensus nominee and i think it's going to have a long term
