to think seriously about is whether he is going to allow what has happened particularly with amy coney barretty'll give serious consideration to expanding the court, to restore the ideological balance which we would not be here if they had not rushed through amy coney barrett's nomination, under the same rules they had given obama in 2017. >> right. there were months and months to confirm merrick garland, it was eight days before the election they confirmed amy coney barrett. with republicans often appealing to conservative base means talking about having a supreme court majority for dealing with the second amendment, guns, and abortion. how do democrats take control of a message that allows people to understand what the relationship is to policy positions that they have, between policy positions and the supreme court. >> that's a great question. i think the most obvious one is health care. the idea that republicans have tried to tear down obamacare in a number of different ways since it was instituted in 2010. so health care should be really important. access to courts, criminal justice refor

2023 months ago when senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and gop senators approved just as amy coney barrett republican appointed justice under the former president to the supreme court. could the democrats turn the table and pointed this is the republicans try to so-called pack the court? >> they could but it's going to be a very hard, not only an argument to make but also one that is very hard to actually do right now in this kind of sentence, democrats are in the majority and both chambers for both of the majorities -- in order for them to change the number of people that some progressives want would be very difficult to do so. i also think most democrats privately believe don't think that's a great idea and that's why think we see not a lot of momentum about this. the big debate that were talking about right now is actually ending the legislative filibuster not about court packing like some are saying. but joe biden did say when he was still president-elect that he wanted to form a commission to go over this and to look at whether this is something that they could do but before even runn

land changed with the death of ruth bader ginsburg and president trump's nomination of judge amy coney barrettplace her. covid hit the oval office in october. president trump was diagnosed, hospitalized and released all in the waning days of the camp an. in november, we voted. joe biden won, president trump can disagreed. and tried to overturn the result both in the courts and in certain state legislatures. >>> mercifully the year-ended with some to positive news on covid. the vaccines were finally here. much needed shots in the arm that will continue far in to the new year. >>> and that is the overnight news for this new area's day. for some of you the news continues, for others check back later for cbs this morning. and you can follow us online, any time, at cbs ne .com. reporting >>> it's friday, january 1st, 2021. this is the "cbs morning news." >>> new year, new hope. we take a look at celebrations across the globe as people look for a fresh start in 2021. >>> pharmacist arrested. how one man spoiled hundreds of covid vaccine doses meant for the public. >>> hotel dispute. new video emerge

the question was asked if amy coney barrett is confirmed and joe biden is elected, should the supremees. the number do not increase the court, 58%. "washington post" says each court should reflect the rich diversity of those it deserves. trump halted any progress of that goal. the new administration will have to go to overdrive just to catch up. there's no time to waste. your time be thoughts on that, marc. beginning with you. >> yeah, if hillary clinton won in 2016 and appointed three supreme court justices, they wouldn't think anything is out of whack or no need for reform. they quite frankly are responsible for their own -- for the mess they're in. if they had not filibustered justice gorsuch, the republicans wouldn't have gotten rid of the filibuster for supreme court justices and not gotten rid of the filibuster, brett kavanaugh would have been confirmed. so the democrats by playing this filibuster game and by filibustering and getting rid of the filibuster for lower court judges has undermined their own position and created the opportunity for donald trump to to what they did. >

their justification for confirming justice amy coney barrett was there was nothing in the constitution that prohibited it. and that is what we need to be thinking about when we think about what norms need to come back. once a norm is violated it's no longer a norm again. you can't wish it so. and as democrats think about what reforms are necessary, that broad guideline has to be what follows them. >> dan, chris has mentioned of the republican obstructionism and sort of explicitly political terms. attorney general holder mentioned a case outcome, sort of rebalancing courts in order to protect rights or achieve particular progressive policies. in your view, what values are we trying to restore when we really think about particular proposed reforms? is this just about creating basic ideological balance? calling it for what it is and saying, we need to have the same number of conservatives and progressives on the court, and is it about some larger question of legitimacy? you've been skeptical about court packing proposals. before we can tackle the substance of what reforms are good and bad

back there only justification for blocking merrick garland to rush through the nomination of amy coney barrett. there was no principle behind these decisions. what they did was a partisan maneuver to lock in conservative control of the court. they used the power that they had. we've already felt the ramifications of these decisions and not understand the people focus on the way of how republicans blocked judge garland but we don't pay attention to what that meant legally. merrick garland had been on n the court instead of neil gorusch, there would have been a progressive majority for four years. some of the decisions made during the trump administration could easily have gone the other way. there might have been a muslim or a janice decision or the harmful ruling in roscoe versus common cause in which a conservative majority found gerrymandering voting rights . federal courts did nothing to stop it. as professor levy has written republicans who decry ignore what republicans are doing a level. the reports, expanded there is the emsupreme court also the ability. as we meet here today republicans

they were front and center during the confirmation of amy coney barrett.ht now, you've mentioned it, we've got a fight on our hand. it's not just the impeachment that's going on, this farce that is going on in the senate coming up here in a week or so, but it's also a fight on amnesty, big tech. we're going to be front and center, and i look forward to reengaging on behalf of the america first agenda and carrying on some of those great policies that the 45th president was able to accomplish over the last four years. lou: it strikes me that if the republican party did not have the trump first, america first policies in all areas -- foreign policy, domestic -- the republican party wouldn't be standing for much. it's really stunning, i think, when we all step back, take a breath to see that the mitch mcconnells, the kevin mccarthys, they are, frankly, not up to snuff. these are not leaders. they may be managers of money, you know, fundraising, trying to pick winners and losers amongst a host of candidates whether it's the house or the senate. they're not doin

that, to me, is why i fight so hard against people like amy coney barrett or neil gorsuch for some of these republican jerks they put on federal courts. because they don't believe that the 14th amendment is allowed to fix everything. i believe that the 14th amendment is allowed to fix everything. if you don't believe that, if you don't think the 14th amendment is going to fix everything, then i would end up where the caller was and send the constitution is wrong and you should start over. let's remember what happened in south africa after apartheid. they did not just leave some ornaments on the front stoop and say all right, we are good now. they started over in a constitutional convention that, this time, included all the people in south africa, white, black, and other. they took two years and they wrote a new constitution. that constitution is actually right now, for my money, the best written constitution in the world because it was made by an inclusive body. our constitution was made by only rich white men after the civil war. the amendments were made by only rich, white men. and
