all along.i think they were hopeful they could stop the judge but this was about firing up their base. when judge kavanaugh was put into office this weekend, sworn in. it basically set off a referendum on his nomination and his seating on the supreme court. what you are seeing is they made a clear plea from the floor, chuck schumer, sang uni to go out and vote. if you don t like what happened here. the republicans are starting to do that too. so far, they been running on a positive message but look at the economy. now they re out there saying, this is what you will get. this circus you saw for the last three weeks if democrats arein charge , and you need to be afraid. anger at losing is usually a bigger motivator than relief at getting judge kavanaugh on the court. is that maybe a better advantage for the democrats? i don t think so. i think they overplayed their hand. i think they just thought they
kavanaugh himself? it seems to me he played a decisive role in saving his own nomination with the performance he gave at that hearing. he got a lot of criticism for his forcefulness but i think had he not said what he said it and even challenged the democrats on their strategy, it would not have given the republican senators to stand by him. i fundamentally agree. that s what he had to do. some people will say that s what lost him lisa murkowski s vote. she claimed it was his judicial temperament to be the reason she voted against him but i don t buy that. i think she had other reasons where she was intending not to vote for him. overall, this was a team effort. i think a lot of people get credit. it isn t just brett kavanaugh or susan collins. it was mitch mcconnell make sure to save this vote would happen one way or another.
in 2015 barack obama massively overstepped his authorities to end the lobby designating 5000 square miles of presidential monument in the atlantic ocean. it wasn t even connected as territorial waters. page blow to the commercial fishing industry. this is a miss to the federal judge, who this week rubberstamped that novel reinterpretation of the law. if you want to know why the supreme court fight matters, this is judicial activism and why we should be happy that kavanaugh is on the court. jason? ahead for the u.s. economy. good job for the supreme court news this week but we are unemployment at a 49 year low which is up for blue-collar workers, low-income workers all the people that said the obama slow growth economy was the new norm have been proven wrong. bottom line is that republicans have a lot more supreme court s
justice kavanaugh. will that anger and the left s tactics help or hurt democrats in the midterm election?here is senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell yesterday. as unpleasant as it s been, it s been worth it. they made a tactical mistake that helped me unify my conference and turn over the republican base going into the election.maybe i ought to say thank you. we are back with - - kim, your chuck schumer in the previous segment make a statement on the senate floor sang vote, vote, vote. this is what you have to do. and pretty clearly said christine blasey ford will be one of their political symbols. if they can t defeat brett kavanaugh, use it in the election. it was voter mobilization,
this not improve the process. i think doctor forgot respectful treatment. i think president trump for the most part was helpful but mostly by staying silent. republicans were nervous about this. how women might react. the hearing ultimately ended up being an emotional event by and large have the credit lindsey graham as well for taking the spirit of the moment and just attacking the democrats in a way that i think pulled the republicans together. they stayed the course. judge kavanaugh stayed the course and there were a lot of moments where it could have gone the other way. we will have more still in. democrats attack the supreme court s legitimacy in the wake of the brett kavanaugh confirmation. was the process leading up to yesterday s vote fear and what about the prospects of future nominations in the senate?
