seen as a moderate he won votes of 32 republican senators when nomnited to the d.c. circuit court in 1997. he's a good man. but he shouldn't be brought up in this toxic environment. >> reporter: just last week he said he didn't think president obama would pick garland because garland didn't appeal to democrats liberal base. republicans may be calculating that judge garland would be more acceptable to them than anyone a future president hillary clinton >> phe supreme court this morning with more on the man who is caught in

filibuster and not bring him to the floor for a full vote series of hearings and a vote out of committee and then a debate on the senate floor. the filibuster was stopped. 's exactly the way the process should work. that is exactly what we hope will happen in this case and exactly what the president called for yesterday. ave a candidate who is uniformally recognized somebody with unquestionable excellence and terrific real quickly if you can, does the president have one firm ally on the senate that he feels will help him get this to a hearing and confirmation? >> we feel good about of this. we heard many, more than a handful of republicans changing their position and being willing to meet with --

real firm ally on the republican side? >> what i said is that yesterday we heard several republican senators agreeing to meet with we think that is a good start. this is not rocket science. they need to do what the constitution says, give him a hearing and vote and let's fillcancy. >> thanks for getting up early with us. we appreciate it. >> thanksrick's day. the supreme court fight is raising the stakes. donald trump is warning about what he fears will happen if he is denied the republican . p nbc national correspondent peter alexander has more on that side of the story. >> reporter: good morning. y st. patrick's day. the math backs trump. he needs 55% of the delegates to get there.
