You are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor starts now. I am at bill oreilly. Thanks for watching tonight. Civil war in congress the subject of this evenings talking points memo. It is all about hating trump, not partisan politics. There is no doubt that judge neil gorsuch is qualified to sit on the Supreme Court and he will, with the confirmation coming on friday one way or another.
