Kin was candidate considering four candidates. Senator Lindsey Graham saying the president cant go wrong with either of these contenders. Republicans are holding four lottery tickets, and all of them are winners. If you are conservative republican, thomas hardiman, they are all winners in every republican should embrace these picks. Jesse regardless of who the president picks, its being sent to the senate for a major confirmation battle. Democrats using scare tactics to try to damage trumps nominee. We already know President Trumps nominee will be prepared to overturn the precedents of roe v. Wade. We know that because President Trump has said so. It is about more than the next election. Its what the United States is going to chart as its course. Ive never seen a president of the United States in effect make himself a puppet of outside groups and choose from a group of right wing fringe ideologues. Figure out that we should be considering is nominee. Jesse we begin with gutfeld. I mean
Trump has made a moderate selection from the judicial mainstream in the form of judge kavanaugh, think again, look at his record. Dana im joined by the anchor of special report bret baer. Were waiting for the republicans and democrats to come out of their policy luncheon, might give a flavor what was discussed. Well take that when it comes live. But i have youve been through a lot of these Supreme Court nominations and the confirmation battles. Do you see any difference with this one at the start of it . Chbltses two things. Good afternoon, dana. This is the swing vote to replace answers any kennedy. It takes on a different fevered pitch. Can you hear it in the sound bites from Democratic Senators like the Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer. Also, two, this is a nominee with this president , the second, that he has made. And it is really a Court Changing potential nominee. Greg kavanaugh has a long list of rulings from his time as a d. C. Circuit court judge. A long history here. The

In a private ceremony that we the public were allowed to watch and listen his friend, former arizona senator john kyle spoke of the dedic
But we begin with mike emanuel. Mike . Reporter dana, good afternoon. There are reporters and news crews following key senators all over capitol hill these days. A short time ago we had an unusual instance where you had Lisa Murkowski talking to reporters. She jumps in with maine Susan Collins another critical senator on the kavanaugh nomination. Murkowski told us shes been told the fbi will be thorough. What i have been assured is that they are conducting this Background Investigation as they do all Background Investigations, allowing for the investigation to take its course. Thats important. But what i think we all need to do now is to wait and see exactly what comes back. I dont think its proper for the senate to be telling the fbi how do their job. They know how to do this.

Usually the president s healing in that moment and apologizing to kevin on behalf of the nation, it felt, again, like a trumporchestrated political event. This is what power looks like. Republicans have the power to do this, and they did it. They timed it so more people would be watching, morgan would be
