<v Speaker 1>a dr dot org. Today Bloomberg Lajos reg Store discusses

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the prospects for Neil Gorsas to be confirmed as the

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>ninth in justice on the Supreme Court. He speaks with

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Rafael Mangul, a project manager for Legal Policy at the

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Manhattan Institute, and Michel Jowando, vice president of Legal Progress

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>at the Center for American Progress. Rafael, I want to

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>spend just a minute talking about the confirmation process. Do

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>you see any realistic chance that Neil Gorsch will not

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 1>be confirmed to the Supreme Court? No, I don't. Um.

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, Chuck Schumer made some noise on the Senate floor,

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, saying indicating that that, um, the judge would

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>need sixty votes to get through. And if that's really

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the case, I think you'll get it. Um. You know,

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>at some point the Republicans will have to, you know,

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>confront the fact that they have an option open to

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>them if the Democrats do filibuster, and I don't see

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>any reason why they shouldn't take it if that If

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that's necessary, Michelle, do you see any chance that the

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Democrats might might succeed if they do do block a vote? Um?

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Or should we just assume it's going to be Justice Corsage?

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't think we should ever make any assumptions. Um.

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:26.119
<v Speaker 1>I think November eighteen taught au spent, but I don't

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>think without uh, that it is a definite that Judge

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Foresig will be on the court. I think a number

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>of Senators, including Senator Casey and Senator Schumer as the

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>minority leader, coming out today strongly that is a signal

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to other people in the caucus. And I'm not quite

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 1>sure that he has the vote needs. So I think

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>we should all stay tuned to see what happens next.

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>And as Michelle Jowando, Vice president of Legal Progress at

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.480
