And america strong tonight. The woman who lost her leg in the boston bombings. The man who saved her and what has the whole town celebrating. Good evening, and its great to have you with us here on wednesday night, and we are following two major headlines coming out of trump white house. Tonight, that warning to iran, pulling that country, quote, on notice. Also less than 24 hours after the president revealed his puck for the Supreme Court, he is telling republicans to go nuclear to get his pick through if it comes to that. Judge neil gorsuch at the capitol beginning to meet with the senators who will decide his fate, and some democrats vowing to block him, calling it a stolen seat after president obamas final Supreme Court nominee was never even given a hearing. Abcs chief white house correspondent, jon karl starting us off. Reporter as newly minted Supreme Court nominee neil gorsuch began making the rounds on capitol hill today. A little bit of colorado in washington. Reporter back at the white house, President Trump urged Republican Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell to do whatever it takes to get him confirmed. If we end up with that gridlock, i would say if you can, mitch, go nuclear because that would be an absolute shame if a man of this quality was caught up in the web. Reporter by going nuclear, he means a rare change to the senate rules to effectively make it impossible for democrats alone to block to block the nomination. Either way, it will be a bruising battle so let me get this straight, you are against neil gorsuch no matter what . No matter what happens in his hearings, no matter what others say about him, you will do everything you can to stop him . I am indeed for two reasons. The first, that this nomination should have never have occurred and second, the mans record. Reporter democrat senator jeff merkley accuses republicans of stealing a Supreme Court seat because for ten months, they blocked Barack Obamas nominee to replace the late justice antonin scalia. And youre not going to back down on this no matter what happens . No, im not. No matter what happens in those hearings nothing . No. Reporter gu gorsuch comes with a sterling resume, degrees from columbia and harvard law and a phd in legal philosophy from oxford. Conservatives applaud his opinions in two cases voting for a religious exemption to the Obamacare Mandate requiring coverage of contraception. Hes written nothing significant about hotbutton issues like gay marriage or abortion but he did write a book backing laws against euthanasia, writing,all human beings are intrinsically valuable and the intentional taking of human life by private persons is always wrong. I will do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant of the constitution and laws of this great country. Reporter gorsuch is a great admirer of justice scalia, who he would be replacing. But he also clerked for Justice Anthony kennedy, the key swing vote on the high court. His nomination has unified republicans, even trumps strongest republican critics are lining up to fight for him. Neil gorsuch what do you think . Home run. Judges judge. This is the kind of person who the founders envisioned sitting on the Supreme Court. He knows what a judges job is. On karl with us live at the white house, and were seeing republicans say judge gorsuch is eminently qualified. You have the democrats saying look at what republicans did to president obamas nominee. Are the democrats going to do what the republicans just did . Reporter well, democrats are still furious about the way Merrick Garland was treated without even getting a hearing, and there is no question they are taking it out on neil gorsuch. Theres hypocrisy all around, and the bottom line is few people question whether either nominee is qualified for the Supreme Court, and both have been opposed by senators for purely political reasons. Here we go again. Jon karl, thank you. There was a moment late today driving home. President trumps sobering role as commander in chief. Taking his daughter, ivanka to pay respects for the navy s. E. A. L. Killed in yemen. Also coming today, saying they are putting iran on notice. Does this mean military action is on the table . Heres martha raddatz.

Reporter general flynns warning came after irans test of yet another Ballistic Missile and another actions including high speed approaches to u. S. Warships. Reporter . They continue to threaten the u. S. And allies in the region. Reporter he called it an adequate response to iran in the past, but the white house didnt speci specify how they would hold them responsible now, but that they would take appropriate action. Mean while, the president today along with his daughter, ivanka, took that somber trip to joint pace andrews for the remains of William Ryan Owens killed in yemen. This is the First Service member killed since donald trump became cha commander in chief. Those duties difficult for any president , and martha live from washington. I want to two back to iran for a moment. Did the white house rule out military action in iran . Reporter they didnt put it out there as an option, be you they didnt rule it out. What Michael Flynn did was let iran know there is a new sheriff in town, and he may not be pulling his gun out, but its in his holster. Thank you as always. In the meantime, the showdown on capitol hill. Fireworks tonight, just 5 of the 21 nominees for the cabinet have been confirmed.

Well, i will refer back to senator enzi and the school he was talking about in wyoming, and probably there, i would imagine there is probably a gun in the school to protect from potential grizzlies. Reporter and new allegations she may have plagiarized part of her answers on a Senate Confirmation questionnaire. Many of the answers look copied and pasted and are not true responses at all. Reporter the confirmation now in jeopardy. It could require Vice President mike pence to step in and break a senate tie. I have 100 confidence she will be the next secretary of education. Reporter but team trump did notch one big victory today. The Senate Confirming former exxon Ceo Rex Tillerson of secretary of state, a contentious pick because of images like this.

Steve bannon can be heard on recording saying islam is a dark religion. Not a religion of peace. Does the president share his chief strategists apparent beliefs on islam . I think the president has been clear that his number one goal is not to target any one religion, but places, and areas where we believe that there is an issue. There is a big difference between islam the religion and radical islamic terrorists. Nothing about the kmnt that he wants to distance himself from . I made it clear theres a difference between the president s view. Reporter in a rare white house move, the president recently giving his confidant a permanent seat on the Security Council where he sits side by side with secretaries of state and defense. Bannon also played a key role in crafting President Trumps extreme vetting order, that temporary ban from seven countries with pro dominantly muslim countries. Why even let them in . The opportunity cost to put in a structure to vet these people, the cost to do that. To what end . Cant that money be used in the United States . I think the issue is should we just take a pause and hiatus for a number of years . And cecilia vega joining us live, and some House Democrats now asking President Trump to remove steve bannon from the National Security council, that seat he has been given .
