the ranking democrat, dianne feinstein spoke about why she .as voting against neil gorsuch >> his views or difficult to discern because he refused to answer many questions, even basic questions that have been answered by previous nominees. for example, senator blumenthal asked the judge if he agreed with the results of brown the the board of education -- brown versus the board of education. rather than agree that schools should not be segregated, judge gorsuch instead said it was "the correct application of precedent." to be clear, when he asked if he supported brown, george gossage -- george -- judge gorsuch refused to answer. when justice kennedy was asked about brown, he replied, "i think brown v. board of education was right when it is -- when it was decided." host: that hearing happened yesterday morning. the majority leader took to the floor to talk about the republicans efforts going wererd and why democrats blocking judge gorsuch oscar nomination. >> it was unfortunate to see colleagues break with recent resident and not support this well-qualified and widely respected supreme c

the democrats are dianne feinstein, the ranking democrat on the judiciary committee. she is worried about roe v. wade being overturned. there is an argument it is better for the democrats to allow neil gorsuch to go through so they do not lose the ability to filibuster the next up import vacancy, which could make the difference with abortion-rights. the others to watch include members like claire mccaskill, jon tester and joe donnelly, who came from states that donald trump won by double digits, as well as some pragmatists, mark warner and chris coons of virginia and delaware respectively. they are pro-business democrats and less likely to be swayed by arguments that neil gorsuch is too pro-business. >> you mentioned the filibuster. democratic leaders have announced their intentions to filibuster republicans. then, coming back and saying, we could use the nuclear option to break that. give us a little history how this was used back in 2013. and then how it might be used this time around. >> democrats say this is continuing the option the harry reid began. that the 60

i think dianne feinstein speaking for the democrats when she said, we're not just evaluating a resumÉ, an acknowledgment that this person certainly has on paper the credentials to be a supreme court nominee and a supreme court judge. but going through the cases that bother her and a lot of other democrats where they say that neil gorsuch sided wit big business or sided with the big guy versus the little guy. so here we are with eight of the nine democrats, now who have officially on this committee said they will vote no. we are waiting to hear from chris coombs sometimes in the next hour. and then, of course, the big move, when it goes to a filibuster, only once before in the history of supreme court nominations has there been a filibuster. and as you pointed out, ali, it could be the first time there's a nuclear option in the case of the supreme court nominee. >> and we have just, chris, while you were talking to me about this, got word that mark warner, senator mark warner has said that he is a no on gorsuch and closure. which means he will support a filibuster. he's saying this is

feinstein stands on this nomination. where does the math stand right now, and is anything really likely to change before they come to a final vote? >> well, it sure looks like we're heading toward the republicans having to trigger that. this judiciary committee meeting -- gorsuch is not there, right, but the members are delivering these remarks. we expect him to advance out of the committee on party lines by the end of the day, at least, because there's more republicans than democrats. but already there's been some fireworks. the republicans are defending and praising him. you heard grassley say, you know, he's a mainstream judge. and then you heard feinstein say she couldn't support him. in general, the democrats are concerned about these issues. first of all, merrick garland. they're furious he never got a vote. they called this seat a stolen seat. they also think he's been evasive in his testimony on questions like 9/11, the work he did as a doj lawyer and corporate issues. and finally, they're probably going to targe

those were the words of dianne feinstein. chuck grassley who is the chairman here saying he is a judge's judge. and also a bitter divide about how this is all played out and the millions of dollars, $10 million, $12 million that have been spent on ads in democrats' home states where they face tough re-election in 2018. so if this is an indication, what we're seeing today, andrea, of what we might see when the full house debate comes up later this week, watch out. andrea? >> indeed. and kristin, finally the president and twitter and his son-in-law and everything else that's been happening, financial disclosures late friday, the fact that jared kushner is in iraq now, is supposedly planning the china trip, he's also reinventing government. it seems as ho he's got a very big portfolio indeed and a very big bank account. he and his wife ivanka now officially both on staff. and both now subject to ethics rules but a lot of questions about their holdings in the trump hotel or her holdings in the hotel. his real estate empire. chine
