whenen those requests went out. some inquiries were made. how would you like to come to the white m house. people took that as a cue their candidate might be the one to be the nominee. we should also tell you, by the way. president trump and don mcgan informed every member of the judiciary committee to ask them theirat thoughts. everyone took the call, except for one senator. california senator kamala harris. she would not take the president call. interesting. we ll see how she does, as it proceeds to the i committee. thank you for staying late live at the white house. judge kavanaugh is contentious contermation battle when president bush nominated him to the d.c. circuit what we can expect, as he now takes the next steps to the path of the top court of the land. tomorrow brett kavanaugh will begin the high stakes and bruise seeking confirmation to the supreme court. with the senate majority leader pushingt to get this done ahead of november mid-term elections.
then some lawmakers stepped up senator elizabeth warren called him a political animal for his time in the bush white house and call justice kill brand and bernie sanders vowed to fight his nomination. he did exactly what he said he would do. he has h appointed someone, who will not protect a woman s right to make decisions about her life, her healthcare, her reproductive freedom. this judge must not become the next justice on the supreme court. i am not going to kid anybody. this iss a tough fight, but it s a fight that we can win. the liberals clearly dislike his conservative bent and dislike what he did in 2015. arguing in dissent that obama care for contraception coverage infringed on the rights of religious organizations and dislikee his dissent from the decisionli last fall that permitted the undocumented immigrant teen to u have an
