1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Now it's time for our daily Bloomberg Law Brief, exploring

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: legal issues in the news, and the law Brief is

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: brought to you by American Arbitration Association. Business disputes are inevitable,

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: resolve faster with the American Arbitration Association, the global leader

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: in alternative dispute resolution for over ninety years. More at

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: a dr dot org. Today Bloomberg Lajos reg Store discusses

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: the prospects for Neil Gorsas to be confirmed as the

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: ninth in justice on the Supreme Court. He speaks with

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Rafael Mangul, a project manager for Legal Policy at the

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: Manhattan Institute, and Michel Jowando, vice president of Legal Progress

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: at the Center for American Progress. Rafael, I want to

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: spend just a minute talking about the confirmation process. Do

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: you see any realistic chance that Neil Gorsch will not

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: be confirmed to the Supreme Court? No, I don't. Um.

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: You know, Chuck Schumer made some noise on the Senate floor,

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, saying indicating that that, um, the judge would

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: need sixty votes to get through. And if that's really

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: the case, I think you'll get it. Um. You know,

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: at some point the Republicans will have to, you know,

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: confront the fact that they have an option open to

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: them if the Democrats do filibuster, and I don't see

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: any reason why they shouldn't take it if that If

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: that's necessary, Michelle, do you see any chance that the

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Democrats might might succeed if they do do block a vote? Um?

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Or should we just assume it's going to be Justice Corsage?

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think we should ever make any assumptions. Um.

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: I think November eighteen taught au spent, but I don't

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: think without uh, that it is a definite that Judge

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: Foresig will be on the court. I think a number

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: of Senators, including Senator Casey and Senator Schumer as the

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: minority leader, coming out today strongly that is a signal

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: to other people in the caucus. And I'm not quite

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: sure that he has the vote needs. So I think

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: we should all stay tuned to see what happens next.

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: And as Michelle Jowando, Vice president of Legal Progress at

36
