european states are about to meet what is at stake at this select barbara. several things the first burn throw really being the future of the german chancellor angela merkel then it is of course about new reforms or change to european refugee policy but it is more in fact this is a battle really about the heart and soul of europe because the big question here is will the populous that have dominate there are dominating now policy and politics in for instance in austria and that are rising in some other european countries will they be capable of sort of dictating the agenda will they sort of set the rules for the future and the question behind is that will the european union troon into a fortress and abundant all the legal and humanitarian restraints it has held high for the past years so it is about a lot in fact so there are several things at stake what about concrete changes to the e.u.'s asylum system are they out that are on the table. the most concrete change and one that most countries agree on really is to upgrade dramatically the border protection of

i totally agree with what barbara said about the behavior of the republican senators to this point. and i think what we need now is -- marches help, and demonstrations help but we need people showing up at the offices of republican senators, their constituents showing up, and saying here is where you show why you should or should not be a member of the united states senate. this is not about the president. this is about whether the united states senate will fulfill its constitutional obligations to really vet a nominee, to make sure any nominee who is elevated to the court is sworn the look fairly, impartially at the # law and not do the bidding of whoever appointed him or her. >> barbara boxer, when you were in the senate women senators were quite rare. they are still not all that plentiful. bottom line. there are a lot of references to women republican senators being called upon to take a tough position to guarantee the rights of women as it pertains to roe v. wade. do you think that's a fair burden? and do you think it's a necessary one? >> it should be a burden on every senator,
