host: this is brian fallon with the group demand justice. cofounder and executive director here to talk about issues related to the campaign and the federal judiciary. guest: good morning, thanks for had it me. your a little bit about organization, what is it and how are you funded and supported? a demanded justice is progressive organization that return in 2018 to try to symmetry between those on the left and the right when it comes to tuning into the importance of the federal judiciary. havelicans for decades successfully messaged to their voters the importance of the judiciary and how it really is the ultimate arbiter of all the issues that we care about. on the left, we've been less successful and that was very pointed in 2016 when hillary clinton was campaigning as there was a supreme court vacancy hanging in the balance after the death of anson scalia and even the progressive had opportunity by winning the election in the ideological balance of the court, you really didn't see that issue register at a grassroots level among democratic

when that begins, we'll take it to you, brian fallon, i might interrupt to you get to that, brian, butant to continue this conversation while i can here. what liz is getting at here. the answer, frankly, i've heard joe biden go down this road when he's talked about this issue of potentially expanding the court. the last time i heard biden talk about it, he was against it. he said democrats would rue the day they did that. and now, i'm being told mitch mcconnell is on his way to the podium. hopefully, we will continue this conversation. but let's go to that right now. >>> well, good afternoon, everyone. as we all know, the president is going to be sending out the nominee for the supreme court vacancy later this week. i anticipate, we all anticipate it's going to be an extremely well qualified woman. and with regard to the schedule after that announcement, chairman lindsey graham will lay out the plan for handling the nomination before the judiciary committee. number two, a word about the negotiation on the cr. the speaker seems to be hung up on doing the ccc replenishment which has been
