they are both in red tape with grapher election campaigns. so about six foci of getting gorsuch to 16 outlays for, with the so-called nuclear option. requiring just 51 votes. they established the president in 2013 for the lower courts but never been used at the supreme court level. timing wise, here s what to look for. there s a key procedural vote thursday morning that could set up a confirmation vote writing night before senators plan to head out for easter break. leland: an exciting week for sure. thanks, caroline. a lot to talk about on this. elizabeth: for more insight, let s bring in congressional reporter with politico. thank you for joining us. we heard in reporting there, senator mcconnell confident he will be confirmed. i am curious to you not only the obvious question, will they have filibuster proof go to do that, but a sissified democrats want to pay? is this the nominee that they
republicans on the hill right now? right. i think the reality is that repiece and replace obamacare has been a snappy political slogan. it worked very well for the republican party to russian on the slogan for many, many years. getting their party base very refused up saying this is a law that doesn t work and we are going to get rid of it as soon as possible. and you know, keep in mind that republicans have actually moved very quickly during this new congress to get that process started. we saw that procedural vote happen last week. and now they are getting started and writing the actual repeal bill. but i think the big question is whatever they do with the replacement, they are going to need democrats on board, some democrats, because they will not have the filibuster proof process once they actually move on to replacement part. so getting democrats on board on top of getting, you know republicans on board, republicans who are also feeling nervous right now, is going to be a very,
six or seven particular national security team in place on day one. now to the future of the affordable care act and the effort to dismantle the law and the millions of americans in government health care is anything but clear right now. democrats protested on the senate floor into the early hours this morning as their republican colleagues sought to work language into a budget resolution to repeal obamacare in a move that would be filibuster-proof. show us your plan. you know, your health care plan. you must have one. we would like to hear it. republicans have been rushing around capitol hill for the past couple of weeks huddling in meetings and trying to come up with a plan to replace the affordable care act. and they are shocked, shocked to discover that guaranteeing americans access to health care is a complex business and they don t have any good ideas. they are trying to reassure each other that they know what
which benefits those at the top. we don t know what donald trump s going to do, because he s changed his position 97 times. my attitude is, let s see if we can find common ground with him. one thing i m glad we have still a filibuster proof minority in chuck schumer, who s one of the toughest negotiators in congress and very smart, is going to be the minority leader and he s going to have to work with chuck schumer and chuck schumer will work with him, and i think that s what we should do for the sake of the country, but you have to find common ground. we re not going to give on core principles like human rights for everybody and like making sure people who need help get help, and i think rewriting the tax code to benefit the top is exactly what we don t need and hopefully we won t do that. all right, governor howard dean, thank you so much for your time. thank you, gentlemen. thank you. coming up, reaction from the global markets after news of donald trump s win. what voters sho
that happens in mississippi you draw straws. today the democrat won and there s no filibuster proof anything for republicans. jeb bush: leadership means you ve got to be all in.
