impeach one of those republican dominated supreme court justices they want to impeach the justice kavanaugh and remove him from the bench and these democrats could not keep him from the bench but they won t stop trying to remove him from the bench and these democrats, i m talking about democrats like elizabeth warren and, harris in the democrats white house was to re- litigate kavanaugh s confirmation hearing all over again. will we finally got the search with the fbi on the fake tip line that they ran for the kavanaugh investigation read and i m very happy that so many people are expressing their support and the persistence and digging through until we finally got it pretty but of course the right-wing attack machine that helped put avenue the court, stop trying to cloud the issues here. i m wondering if there s ever going to be an end to this that the nomination process has been rolling in the politics surrounding the judges has been ruling the supreme court has been da

electric. how might that change the way that you think about cars? from nbc news world headquarters in new york, i m joshua johnson. welcome to the week. it s been infrastructure week all year long, but after months of negotiations, this week could soon be coming to a close. today, the senate voted 67-27 to invoke cloture. cloture blocks any further debate on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. 18 republicans joined democrats in voting to advance this bill. the exact timeline of when and how it gets wrapped up is still in the air. now the clock is ticking on 30 hours of debate, over which amendments to include. any amendments would require the support of all 100 senators before consideration. at the same time, there s also a big push to move forward on a faster path. if the senate can agree on amendments and on shortening that 30-hour debate period, this process would speed up dramatically. tennessee republican senator bill hargetty is blocking that path. now, this week,
