Opposed to act in a different way. But where there is an indication that the vote will somehow be harmed, i believe the department of justice certainly has the obligation to review that matter and look carefully at all of the facts and evidence and proceed accordingly.

And if she is not confirmed, everybody in the senate ought to just resign their positions is what should happen. On to alexander in pennsylvania on our republican line. This is barry of the just make sure folks, you turn down your television or radio when you call in. Barry, go ahead.
