high school and college is by several women senators who've been deeply divided on the issue had been taking the floor since the early morning. when the history of the senate is written. this chapter will be a flashing warning light of what to avoid. truly. judge kavanagh's confirmation is a low moment for the senate. but the court. the country. i just. don't see how we can put somebody on the supreme court who thinks that the president is above the law the theory of the you should expect him nominees for five years. i do not believe judge cabinet has met the standard he puts his thumb on the scales of justice in all ways with the pliers towards corporate interests i knew him as an honest and dedicated public servant i was

proud to be at the white house says president bush announced the nomination of this exceptionally followed by the. i do not see an open mind i do not see fairness i see a partisan ideologue who will do traditional backflips to rule in favor of large corporations the powerful and the elite the firm a direct challenge to the supreme court before the world and undermined the court's legitimacy and continued to diminish the american people's trust in the. protestors tried to stall the voting by shouting from the senate's gallery on the chair hunt to all school or at least a dozen times. sergeant at arms will restore order in the gallery.

restore order and the. sergeant in arms will restore order in the good. order in the. hundreds of people gathered at the u.s. capitol in washington holding signs condemning covena and chanting slogans decrying the nominee compass of police arrested one hundred fifty demonstrators on the steps of the u.s. congress building this out today alone we discussed the issue with school so you know he's on see america evening news host. well i'll be honest with you it's been a few weeks full of turmoil as quickly part of the minds became the dividing lines as what was expected what was unexpected was no last forty eight hours you have seen that large protest that happened in the senate building with celebrities and others storming the area many of them getting arrested we have over two hundred

that were arrested on thursday night now you've got hundreds that have been arrested today and then forwarding on to today where you saw a democrat switching over senator manchin voting in favor of the confirmation as reverse to senator murkowski who originally voted against the confirmation later withdrawing her vote once there was sure that it was not going to make a difference so there has been a few surprises but overall in the end it is actually the republicans have been pretty solid from day one as well as the son of this played out in the court of public opinion it's been quite a theatrical do you think the week long investigation on top of that played into cardinals hands well actually i think that we had a ridge and i thought once they went to the f.b.i. . investigation i thought that what hurt that was being pushed by senator flake a republican who doesn't always vote with the g.o.p. that showed there might be some doubt that could move over however as the week progressed and the f.b.i. came out so that there was no actual evidence to clobber ate her stories in there

was also other things that did not necessarily match up more republicans and democrats alike were not able to actually do what they were doing originally in the original confirmation hearings which was basically make this to be about a he said she said more about the drama they were able to pull back and say no facts matter we actually need to see what we have hard evidence on that might hurt long term the women's movement here in the united states as many women were supporting the supporting the accuser just because they felt like accusers had not been heard recently in the united states this is one year to the day of the need to movement happening on the other hand in the end people as needed to make sure there was evidence and i think that's the reason why you saw so many g.o.p. senators who were might have been wavering actually go on and push the confirmation through do you think we can equate support patrol. support for trump and so they're going to try to whether that's true or not it's up to everybody i don't think this issue has one people over to cross over the lines and either before or against president trump it just shows how deeply divided america is right now and that's

very interesting four weeks out from a midterm election for president trump everything right now is for or against president trump there's no sort of i like him but i don't support her policies it is truly a very partisan divided country and unfortunately as it's come out recently a lot of the issues that came out this over the kavanaugh has been because of the media and the dishonest media here in the united states that we're showing on both sides putting out allegations that kind of show they had more of an agenda than just reporting the facts. and they stand to support it's mixed martial law it's fine to the year will be held in just a few hours from now in las vegas i was stuck on a mcgregor takes on an undefeated russian had the noma gone with the of who's beating to retain his world title but tensions are already pointing.
