Jockeying to bourke each other. Democrats want to stack the bench but republicans have the power to block any nomination until Bernie Sanders is sworn in and can nominate karl marx jr. In a black robe. The precedent has been set. Its been over 80 years now since in the last year of a sitting president there is a Supreme Court nominee. Its up to Mitch Mcconnell to stop it it many called delay, play, delay. I think president obama will nominate a person who in all likelihood will be out of the mainstream and the senate will reject it. Kennedy former scotus clerk ted cruz.

To the small town of wellfleet. Im here to learn about a strange inheritance that shaped a familys life for half a century. My name is elena delbanco. In 2011, my sister and i inherited an extraordinary object from our father. This was my fathers home for many years. He and my mother built it in 1955. Elenas father was the virtuoso cellist Bernard Greenhouse, who died in 2011 at the age of 95. [ Classical Music plays ] greenhouse spent most of his career playing with the renowned beaux arts trio, which made its debut in 1955 and catapulted to fame.

Tonight iowa proclaimed to the world, morning is coming. Morning is coming. Kennedy so lock it up, ted. The one great joy to be gleaned from the madness i knight i are donald trump nor Hillary Clinton were coronated.
