Now there are more calls for him to step down from investigations into the trump administration. And finally, going nuclear. Senate democrats continued their obstruction to the president s nomination of judge neil gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Democratseem on course for a filibuster attempt of judge Neil Gorsuchs Supreme Court confirmation. Does that mean republicans will trigger the socalled Nuclear Option . There is a lot to get to. We begin, though, with that old yogi berra line, when you come to a fork in the road, he said, take it. Thats not an option for the trump white house, but now that his Health Care Replacement plan has collapsed, the president has to choose between two very different paths forward. He wants to move on from health care. He wants to move on to his next bigticket item. That is tax reform. The question is, how . Option one for trump, he
My interview with Stacey Abrams and why she refused to concede in georgia. And the growing outrage over a president attacking and ignoring american veterans. Wouldnt it have been nice if we got osama bin lauden a lot sooner than that . All in starts right now. A nice mansion. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. In 45 days, the 116th congress will begin. Democrats will be in power in the house of representatives and President Trump is now hurtling towards the biggest political collision of his administration.

The last three months. Never before have we had a nominee display such flagrant partisanship and open hostility at a hearing. I do not see how its possible for my colleagues to say with perfect confidence that judge kaf fall has the temperament, independence and credibility to serve on the United States Supreme Court. Give notice that totally uncorroborated allegations of officially, officially enough to destroy an americans life. Or will declare our society cannot and must not, will not set the bar so low. The question is, is it the sense of the senate that debate on the nomination of brett m. Kavanaugh of maryland to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court shall be brought to a close .
