great voices also on. the music world mourns the loss of soprano montserrat caballe a who has died at the age of eighty five. u.s. senators have just voted and brett kavanaugh has been voted in as a supreme court judge the vote was expected to be close but when two republican swing senators on friday finally announced that they would vote in favor of kavanagh it meant that he would probably win by at least a couple of voice votes the appointment has been divisive as several women accuse kavanaugh sexual misconduct staff and the voting is done what's the reaction. here i. have to tell you the crowd here outside. at the supreme court and it's about i
10:02 pm
would say four to five from the people here were not very happy were frustrated or angry about this they don't even have the news yet that the vote has been down there of a thing for the speaker on the stage behind me to announce this and the work can trickle through yet so you can bet that as soon as they hear there will be a storm here deafening storm erupting here. out of hundreds of people and they will voice their disapproval in all ways and all kinds and that's basically the bottom line here those people here they know that any i knew for quite some time for a few hours now that it was almost an impossible task to turn this around and to have read kevin and not confuse and now we have it we have a confirmation and people here know this but everything is they all promising something else and promising politicians in the house of representatives and in the senate something that will be in november coming november six midterm elections and
10:03 pm
those people here and a lot of other people those protesters think and say at least we'll be going to the polls making those politicians who disappointed them so badly here in their view will make those politicians pay so this is a i think it's safe to say a victory of sorts for president trump because brett kavanaugh was in his car to interrupt what you just hear now. i'm sorry to interrupt you what you just hear now that was just the moment where the speaker here on the stage said kavanagh was the problem and here is the yelling at the same thing same same. and i'll let you take this in for just a moment here again frustration and. anger is actually visible here people are not very happy here but again they're promising they'll come back every friday now actually for kevin fry and that's how they call it and we'll watch that. protests on tell the midterm elections when they go to the
10:04 pm
polls let me just pick it up if i if i may if you're talking about the shame and the anger there is that going to have a mobilizing effect on the democrats when it comes to those elections with a b a big turnout. it will have a huge effect on the democrats turnout people on the left are energized and spoke and they promise that november sixth will be the day where they make their voices heard now having said that the republicans also managed by bringing brett kavanaugh through with this nomination they managed also to energize and stoke their crowd this is a huge success for donald trump who had promised that he will as soon as elected president reshape this supreme court and that's what he did just eighteen nineteen months and power in the white house and conservative justices on the supreme court which will alter the set of the supreme court and will change this country probably
10:05 pm
drew sickly at least for decades to come. of course because the supreme court has taken decisions throughout history on desegregation on abortion that go way beyond any individual president's term and certainly brett kavanaugh will be affecting american political life along with the other eight justices well beyond the day donald trump leaves the white house but just to come back to the elections how could it change things if the democrats are mobilized is it because the republicans control both houses of congress and that that could that could possibly change. well that's remains to be seen but here is the calculus on the democratic side take the house the house of representatives and if possible the senate now this is going to work out then their cultural is this that the president will governing for the for the president for the executive in the united states will be much much harder because that would mean that there will be only almost no
10:06 pm
loss coming through senate or house now if this turns out. to be the case that's going to be a huge problem for the white house now what observers and out of this say so far is that the danger is that. the case the democrats taking over the house of representatives is more likely then really taken also on over the senate so house of representatives republicans looking at really really big problems and democrats are really positive if and stoked about having a chance to take over the house of representatives but it comes to the senate not so clear one way or another this will be now until november sixth and beyond a absolutely riveting time in terms of. political nusi and along the political divide because make no mistake this country is politically divided this split is going only deeper nobody pays nobody i heard or talked to saying like yeah
10:07 pm
this is going to be unified and after the midterm elections it's getting anyway better so you say the possibility of having a polite and civil public debate about political issues is lessening every day because of this because of the supreme court nomination conflict. well i think actually right so what this what this nomination process and confirm confirmation process that is not only that it of course split the country in half more so along the political fault line see it but what you see here is this is democracy at work so she the people behind me are kind of proud of this and mentioned this again and again i guess there's no doubt that even republicans are conservative see that people talk about issues like we're living in the me to err on. women making their voices heard there are other political issues people are talking at the water cooler about now as you can see right affordable care act
10:08 pm
health insurance obamacare you remember all those issues docket dreamer's is immigration all those issues that will be ending up right in the. building next to . this country's supreme court so cavanaugh is basically just a regular order now basically but it is a trigger of course for this country to dive into more political debates. you were mentioning the issue of of women and of course the possibility of sexual violence over thirty years ago against professor four was really what caused problems for justice cavanaugh how much do you think this is going to alienate the women of the united states as voters as citizens what effect is it going to have on women to have this man approved as a supreme court justice despite the allegations against him. i know. i've really had trouble to understand your question but let me tell you this women
10:09 pm
not just yet the protests but all over the united states it seems to be a parent are not happy with what happened here. of course you could say republican they're also women who are republicans and they are for kevin on they were for. this nomination but you know i'm in no doubt about that women especially women are a problem for the republicans now and women have loyce these. women live in urban centers more voters are in urban centers around the united states in cities like new york l.a. miami. and those rimmon are going to the polls in november and that's why you hear . chants year in november is coming november is coming the curtain on me is majority of those are women and around the country you hear christian november is coming women across the united states are really not happy with this and there's actually even talk about impeachment that's the new key word they don't they have
