The political showdown over the shifts to the senate. President obamas choice Merrick Garland, will go to capitol hill this afternoon to meet with democratic senators. Republicans are standing by their vow not to consider garland or any nominee before the nevada election. The 63yearold federal appellate judge wants to be the 113th justice to serve on the nations highest court. We are covering the fight from the white house to the Supreme Court and talk with Elizabeth Warren and senator jeff flake. Margaret brennan is at the white house. Reporter this was a calculated decision by president obama to pick a nominee that would be hard for republicans to shoot down. And, today, Merrick Garland goes to personally lobby on capitol hill and make is case he is a political moderate who can break that partisan divide. I will not be voting on this nominee. The next president is going to make the decision. Reporter last night, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell said it would be a waste of time and insisted that Congress Must wait until americans elect a new president. If this was a republican president , submitting a nominee to a Democratic Senate in the middle of a president ial Election Year, no circumstances under which the nominee would be confirmed. I have fulfilled my constitutional duty. Reporter on wednesday, the president said Senate Republicans are october tobligated to consider garlands nomination. I simple ask the republicans in the senate to give him a fair hearing. If you dont, it will indicate a process for nominating and repair. Reporter polling shows more than half of the americans disproof of the Senate Republicans refusal to consider a nominee, but Republican Leaders say their argument stems from then senator joe bidens own rule back in 1992. Action on a Supreme Court after the Election Campaign is over. Reporter but the Vice President defended himself last one biden rule i followed while in the senate.

Reporter in 2010 when justice picked elena kagan, hatch said he would be confirmed. Hatch said yesterday, times have changed. A whale of difference being on any Circuit Court of appeals and being a nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States. Reporter today, president obama will join a Conference Call with progressive groups to build support for merrick. The bet is putting pressure on senators may change some minds. Margaret, thank you very much. Closer look at the nominee. And why the president chose justice antonin scalia. Jan crawford is at the Supreme Court. Reporter the president is really gone with someone he sees as a reasonable pick, a compromise pick. Certainly not the home run that some of the liberal groups would of wanted. Garland is a moderate, a centrist. He is no liberal flamethrower. I think youll see the white house make the argument the president is not going as far left as some of the groups on the left would of wanted. Now the republicans time to compromise a little bit by all accounts, judge garland is deeply experienced, he is respected, hes a chief judge at the d. C. Based federal appeals court, he is a former prosecutor who supervised the Oklahoma City bombing trial. I mean, he is seen by some as really the best pick that a from a democratic president. And so now, the hope for many on the left is that as the summer progresses, and it looks Like White House in november, you know, maybe republicans will recognize that this guy is the best that they can hope for and finally go ahead and confirm him. Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren of massachusetts is calling on her republican colleagues to schedule a hearing on judge garland. Hill. Senator, good morning. Are you enthusiastic in your support of judge garland . You know, the way i think of this, filling a Supreme Court vacancy is one of the most solemn tasks undertaken by this government. This isnt supposed to be a circus. The president has done his constitutional duty. He has sent us a nominee. And now it is our job in the United States senate to hold hearings, to examine his credentials, and then to have a vote on him. Thats what the constitutional calls for. With respect to, senator, the question i asked will you but thats the whole point right now, is that we want judge garland to come over. I want to meet with him, i want to look at his credentials. I want to see him perform in a hearing. And then i want to be able to have a vote on him. Thats what advise and consent means. Its not supposed to be some kind of crazy political process. You know, senator toomey said the republican from pennsylvania said, well, if he had been nominated by a republican, then, yes, he would be willing to consider him but not since he was nominated by president obama. You know, this is just really taken off in a direction that is a direct insult to the president , it is a direct insult to the constitution, and now it is a direct insult to judge garland. But, senator, the republicans are now pointing to joe bidens comments back in 1992 when he said a nomination should not be put forward in an Election Year. So why is this different this time in 2016 . Just go back and look at the history. Every single republican every single Supreme Court nominee to a vacant position has had its hearing and a vote. The only ones who didnt get a hearing didnt get a hearing because they went straight to a vote. That is a hundred years of actual fact. Senator, let me turn to the president ial race in 2016. All of your female particularic senators have endorsed senator hillary clinton. You have not yet made an endorsement. Will you do it before the convention . I dont have a time line for this. But i go the to tell you, watching what has been going on the democratic side really makes me prouder to be a democrat. We have been out there talking about the issues, both hillary and bernie, about how it is that young people are going to be able to get an education without getting crushed by student loan debt, how we can better rein in wall street, how we can have trade deals that dont just leave workers in the dirt. You know your lack of an endorsement at this stage has let me ask you this do you believe that senator clinton should release the transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs . Look. I think that our candidates are out doing what they should do in a primary. They are debating the issues. Youre not answering my question, senator. What im doing is im telling you what i think should be going on right now in this election. Its a yes or no question. Should she release the transcripts or not . What i told you i think the primaries are doing what they should be doing and the candidates are being tested. What will it take for you to make an endorsement of either candidate . What more do you need to hear . What im glad to see is what is happening right now. And that is that the democrats are out talking about the issues. I think it makes it very distinct what happens between our side and what is happening over on the other side. Someone said that they are doing some kind of reality show, we are out here trying to talk about the issues that affect American People. When one of the questions that is being raised, has the Democratic Party and has senator clinton, secretary clinton moved from being a clinton democrat to a warren democrat . You know, what our candidates have told us is what they will stand for as president of the United States. Is it moving to the left . I think what it is is moving to where america is. Americas hard working families, americas middle class is really on the ropes. And what we need is somebody in the white house who is going to be out there fighting for them. That is what this next election is going to be about. The republicans make it clear, they are going to keep working for the rich and the powerful. The democrats are making it clear they are going to get out there for working families. They are going to fight to build a future. Not just for some of our children, but for all of our children. Senator warren between those. Its always good to see you. Next hour, we will talk with republican senator and Judiciary Committee member senator jeff flake.

Six of the states remaining are winner has all primaries totals 217 delegates. Even if trump wins every one, he would still need nearly 40 of the rest of the delegates to secure the nomination. I dont think anybody is going to have enough delegates. Reporter john kasich trails trump and cruz by hundreds of delegates but denied he is just a spoiler. Neither of those guys can win a general election. Maybe they are spoiling it for the Republican Party and for the conservative movement. Reporter trump warned wednesday the future of the conservative movement and the gop was in danger as he arrived at the Party Convention with the most delegates but lost the nomination. I think youd have riots. You know, im representing a tremendous, many, many, millions of people. I think bad things would happen. I really do. I believe that. Bad things would happen.
