and i have watched his career for much longer than i have had the privilege of interviewing him, and to see how close under the surface all of our horror and grief is for the atrocities being carried out by vladimir putin and russia really, i think, pushes forth ali velshi s point that it s time for us to do something more than nothing. your thoughts? look, admiral kirby s the best d.o.d. public affairs spokesman we have ever had, bar none, and i also need to add, unequivocally, that the biden team, secretary blinken in particular, and secretary austin, secretary of the treasury, have been utterly magnificent in pulling together nato, the global community, military support, economic sanctions. it s been unbelievable. the war is entering a new phase. and washington, which will take five years to make a simple
jackson. i think that should be a really big signal to democrats as to what lies ahead after the midterms. if the republicans retake control of the senate, it will be a very long two years for president biden who will be faced with the same sort of obstruction that president obama had toward the end of his term. so, i mean, really, this is on the wrong side of history. antonin scalia got a unanimous confirmation. ruth bader ginsburg got heavy support. how far we ve fallen. that s a perfect segue to questions that republicans had to field over the weekend, at least from george stephanopoulos about whether they remain supportive of clarence thomas ruling on january 6th cases before the supreme court. there s an undeniable perception
to procedurally move judge jackson s vote to the floor. all day long, all of us on capitol hill have turned into amateur flight trackers, trying to figure out exactly which flight the senator was on, when he was going to get to dca. dick durbin joked that he would send his capitol police detail to pick him up and get him here faster if he could, but with all senators accounted for, we just had the vote, a tie as expected, no republicans crossing over to vote for judge jackson, and chuck schumer has started this process now to move her to the floor, and interestingly enough, because of this procedural step that has to be taken because of a tie, i think we re going to find out tonight, rather than on friday when the final votes will be taken, whether there s any more republican support for judge jackson, if you re mitt romney or lisa murkowski or any other republican who hasn t otherwise said how you re going to vote, you ll have to vote on this procedural motion tonight so we ll get all

among some of the republicans and the clips that we just saw, is that they recognize that in taking this stance against someone who is unquestionably qualified and who has more support among the american public than any other supreme court nominee in recent history, that they know they re on the wrong side of history, and they re trying to bedress that, sort of pillow that with nice words about the nominee, which only lays more bare how what a political pander this is. i was interested in what senator lindsey graham had to say, where he seemed to continue this vengeance theme, saying that, you know, essentially threatening that when republicans are in control, they would block a nominee as qualified and as eminently able to serve on the u.s. supreme court as judge ketanji brown
