ten which did lead to what they call a red wave it republican takeover of the house and major wins in the senate we're three weeks out from the election and just to remind all of us three weeks out from the twenty sixteen election was about the time that the access hollywood tape was released so these three weeks are going to be a long time three weeks ago we were talking about the anonymous op ed in the new york times and the chaos in the white house so we don't really know what effect it will have they only say one week in politics is a very long time let's turn to president trump a significant victory for him on the domestic scene however significant it's enormously significant he has now named two supreme court justices he is consolidate. did a firm conservative majority on the court there are really no swing votes on the court anthony kennedy type or a sandra day o'connor connor type on the court the expectation now is that justice roberts could play that swinging role to preserve the credibility of the institution but it's an enormous win for conservatives and you know with kevin on

now. as you as you mentioned the republicans have firm control of the supremes cota we we're now looking at decades of conservative rulings or is judge kavanaugh going to surprise us if everything stays as it is now with nine supreme court justices we're looking at a very firm conservative court for decades to come but there are many questions here one that some democrats have raised especially in the face is whether or not nine supreme court justice is actually necessary you could eliminate two supreme court justice is now have a seven just the supreme court that has been the case in the past you could add supreme court justices none of the number of the justices in the supreme court is written into the constitution so the congress actually has a lot of power here and the effect of the american arland delay and these to enact months has really energized people to think about what the supreme court should really look like. tyson bach of the from the aspen institute speaking to us
