court justice and that is a good thing who most religiously voted democratic. >> and mike, you once worked for mitt romney. do you see a problem when republicans like mitt romney vote to confirm this pick? republicans like murkowski, collins, is there a reason for them to make a big deal about the democratic nominee? like their party did with merrick garland? given that they have a 63 lock on the court already? >> a couple may. and i will explain why. but i disagree with gene a little bit. i don't think that the issue will be that big. it's not about changing the ideological makeup. it's about replacing a good center-left justice with another. and the democrats have the votes. so if you are the republicans, the choice you have to make is, do we raise a lot of hell and with the nominee from president biden through to kavanaugh to a grilling? and gin up base democratic
