gorsuch made a decision to block that in one state. and those people should not be for neil gorsuch, and democrats have a right to stand up for that. neil gorsuch seemed more like a mitch mcconnell guy more than donald trump s chosen one. is there an argument to be made that things should be pushed off and give it more time here? absolutely not. bill clinton was elected twice to the presidency without getting a majority of americans, and george w. bush was not elected with the majority you know it was 3 million votes? yeah, whatever, california. californians are not americans. let s get to the question about whether or not neil
hill where chris jansing is standing by. what can we expect? fireworks, because yesterday by general consensus as hard as some of the democrats tried there was no real body blows that handed to neil gorsuch. he was often disciplined, and using words like golly and gosh, and he was given a lot of softballs by the republicans, but the democrats feel they have gotten some fodder to follow-up today. each of the members of the committee will get 20 minutes for their follow-up and expect the democrats to hit him hard on things like abortion and campaign finance and gun rights. the white house tells me they are feeling confident about this, and they like the way it went yesterday, and some democrats will privately tell you they think there are democrats that would support him but nobody is completely taking the possibility of filibuster off the table, although there are certainly democrats that believe they should save that for the next supreme court nomination that this one would
majority in the senate. it doesn t need the 60 votes but just 51. in order to get on the reconciliation vehicle you can t put all the changes on it. only some will past the test and what conservatives in the administration and paul ryan are fighting about is what will pass the test of the parliamentarian. it s one of those little details that is annoying to people. here is the thing, matt, you have had seven or eight years to figure it out. what is going to happen in the next seven or eight hours different than what happened in the last seven or eight years? i think that s a fair charge. republicans have been criticizing obamacare for years and this is the time to put up or shut up, and that s a fair charge. it s day three of the confirmation hearing for neil gorsuch with testimony to resume in a few minutes from now. i want to take to you capitol
listen up, hallie. you know it is women s history month. i love what you ve been doing with it. today we ve got a good one. #onegreatwoman, sandra day o connor. the first female justice on the supreme court. nominated by ronald reagan in 1981. and are you listening to this. today neil gorsuch, she was confirmed unanimously on a day when we are seeing, i m guessing, some fireworks during a hearing. sandra day o connor, truly a great woman in history. a great woman for justice. and if you have somebody else you want to nominate, send it my way. #onegreatwoman. that s going to wrap me up for the day. hallie jackson, you re next. i can t wait for your show because you have robert costa on. do your viewers know you went to high school together? we are high school buddies. i think that s amazing. i think you need to bring a yearbook. maybe. thank you guys for joining us here from washington. behind us at the white house, the president on health care has to prove he really is the ne
president trump said it s complicated and this is all complicated. i wouldn t worry too much about the market just yet. if you average the gains versus what we have just seen, this does not qualify as a pull back. it s part of his quote. i believe he said health care, nobody realizes how complicated it is, and the thing is, quite a few people do realize that. thanks. next, judge gorsuch is about to sit down and begin day three of his confirmation hearing, and we will talk to our legal experts about what we can expect today. because i was interested in building a career. i came to ibm to manage global clients and big data. but i found so much more. ( ) it s really a melting pot of activities and people. (applause, cheering) new york state is filled with bright minds like victoria s. to find the companies and talent of tomorrow,
