and blatant displays of disrespect towards judge jackson, they didn t actually end there. lindsey graham, so often graham whining about the senate s loss of decency in the forum, refused to even show up for ketanji brown jackson s final confirmation vote. apparently, the formal dress code put him off. he outright refused to put on a tie in order to walk in and appear in the chamber. instead, he opted to vote, no, from the senate cloakroom. and graham wasn t alone in all of this. senator rand paul delayed the final proceeding by nearly half an hour, showing ablate and light ground without a care in the world for the senate s dress code on such a momentous day. this is the republican mo. and the thing is, it s been their mo for decades. i mean, in 1916, louis brandeis was nominated to the supreme court. he was harvard educated, a crusader against corruption, and the nation s most prominent public interest lawyer. he also happened to be jewish.
more on our breaking news, republicans and democrats passing a bill on capitol hill to keep the bill running until february 8. this was the first shutdown ever when one party is in control. graham wasn t shy in laying some of the blame on the white house. the reason we yank these things back is because mr. miller, i have known him for a long time. i know he is passionate and an early supporter of the president, but i will tell you his view of immigration has never been in the mainstream and we will never get there as long
it would be great. you re a great, great senator. thank you. thank you so much for coming on. thank you. anyway, that s senator tammy baldwin of wisconsin. for now we re joining by congresswoman nan hayworth, a republican from new york state and a member of the women s independent board of director. thank you for joining us. are we going to get to fixing the problem? where are we at now? i think the gladiatorial part is over. everybody has tried. i don t think there were votes for repeal in the republican party. there were votes for repeal in something called replace, but nobody could agree on the replace part. it seems somebody ought to put their hand up in the air and say no mas, we can t do this anymore. we re actually going fix it now. your thoughts? chris, i agree. we do need to fix it. obamacare, unfortunately, the affordable care act is failing. it is in a deadly spiral. well fix it! well, i agree with you. i agree with you. and the best way to fix it, cassidy/grah
senate building. the protesters are amazing. some in wheel chairs. there was a blind fellow there. there have people who have really lived their lives in wheelchairs. these were desperate, tough cases. real, real health challenges these people faced. they were dragged out of a senate finance committee today, disrupted for interrupting a hearing to consider that graham/cassidy obamacare repeal bill. anyway, the battle to repeal obamacare had gotten personal with the president blaming john mccain personally for not getting it done. on 60 minutes last night, john mccain was asked if his vote against a july repeal effort was retaliation for the president s mocking of his vietnam war service during the 16 campaign. in his years as a prisoner of war. let s watch this. if i took offense at everybody who has said something about me or disparaged me or something like that, life is too short. you ve got to move on. and on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a pe
john mccain tonight? the president calls him the problem. do you think he is a problem? i honor and respect your service. i wish you nothing but health and healing. i think your better decision would have been to fulfill the campaign pledges you gave to the folks in arizona who elected you and to have voted yes for cassidy/graham. but cassidy/graham wasn t on the ballot last year. but repeal and replace was, chris. and this is in many senses the only realistic chance we have to make things better. and it would have done that. okay. but i think we re replace and repeal is a non sequitur. u.s. congresswoman nan hayworth of new york state. what is president trump getting by escalating his they aye tacks on the leader of north korea. are we safer because president trump calls him the little rocketman? high school again. high school harry. this is hardball where the action is.
