6:37 pm
justice kennedy would go to the left be occasionally. esncially o cultural issues sort ofnown as a social justice warrior and i expect thatnt pre trump probably will replace him with a strict constitutionalist much like gorsuch. >> i've heard from analysts all day who say the democrats need to fight like heck to oppose anything here.what do you think strategy will ? about justice kennedy, he'sn referred to as the swing justice was not on decisions that undermined in many respects the integrity of democratic self government. he wrote the supreme court's 5- decision on citizens united he struck down the vote in shelby county. has had a record but this leaves an opening on the supreme court for president trump to nominate someone. mitch mcconnell bcked the fair consideration of president
6:38 pm
obama's nomee for nearly a year saying the american people have to weigh in. we're now in an election year so there's the question, are the american people going to have a chance to weigh in? irrespective of th, if a nominee w receive a heari that, of course, mcconnellni ed to president obama's noinnee, that nom will need to go on record openly and transparently and honestly about where they the stand on their core issues of american democracy and whether they're talling to s up for justice for all americans and stay true to what's chiselled and marble above the supreme court, which is supposed to be equal justice under law. gears back, we don't have a lot of timeleft. we were talkinggrbout immiion earlier. a new poll finds that the majority of american voters blame parents we choos to illegally cross the border noti the trumpistration for what we're seeing as tti seon of families right now. jason let me ask owyou, w that a judge ordered families to beeunited within 30 days, we
6:39 pm
understand there's some 2000id plus k out there not some the parents don't kw where kids are. what needs to happen >> surprising part of this poll is they actually had to think they nee whether theytod de thi the tnk should let peopl break the law. and that's what they were asking people. and the majority of americans unsurprisingly thinks that we should uphold the law. this was all due to this 1997 ruling that wasassed to really enforce the border lawso s the parents would be deterred from blinking children across theil border gally. and you know, they -ot it did work. it did not deedophese pe. theyept coming, so we needed to prosecute, turn them back at the border. and often that involved separating the families. today, the department ofec homeland sity is requested 2000 additional beds. i suspect t this is all in an milies that were caught up in
6:40 pm
this -- in this law tbe able to bring them together, and the president also alady sign an executive order doing the same thing and ordered due process for these people >> i want to bring you on ton conver before we go. >> i thinkha the c of thismi nistration, the lies from this administtion, the misdirection, there f to really tell the truth here. has t confused american people. ultimately, on this issue, at the border, families belong togeperiod. i think many americans are going to be coming together ts clear, familiesr belong tog le notwithstanding the administration's failure to he will at the truth >> if i my w say youent thing quickly about the poll. it's spelling bad news for the democrats barbecue it showshey completely lost on the border
6:41 pm
issue trying to tie it to trump and there by tie i to the republicans, people are with the president on that issue. >> we'll let you jumpn there stephen if you want to respond >> i think again, we ve -- we need to uphold the rule of law in ts country. theth presidente united states hashanged policy, and s been tearing families pty who are coming to this country seeking asylum, that is not in keeping wit american values as we know them today. and again, i think families belong together and that's what families are going to make cleae this wee that protests all across the country we'll talk more about that in a little bit. let's move on to a big stor in a u.s. house race in new york that could leave democratsed a little worri 28-year-old formerarnard alexandria cortez defeated the fourth ranking democrats in the house, i she wins she'll become the youngest sittingember of

6:43 pm
we've seen that throughout the countryn multiple primaries. either way, it's way too early to tell if there will be a massive wavee olur a massive red wave. there is history will tell us that should be onemocratics side. democratic has a unified enemy in the president, donald trum the same way that republicans had that asset going no mid terms while president obama was office. so i don't think what we sawst night was necessarily indicative of november results, but it does show that there are divides inhe democratic party that haven't been all that car through the primaries >> what t dohe to democrats need to doid prest trump beat 16 republicans, hse unwanven tiona. he -- the truth didn't matter, certain other facts didn't seem to matter. do democrats need to start being more like thato s of, i guess, enhance the blue wave we've heard about?>> i think wh
