[laughter] and we both did pretty well in law school. david: you were in the harvard law review, and sometimes you get to clerk on the supreme court for another justice and you clerked for -- justice breyer: arthur goldberg. david: and what was that like? justice breyer: it was terrific. he was gr

the strategy generally taken by leaders on capitol hill is to try to sort of taking the ground with trump. that they don't necessarily disagree with his more extreme comments like suggesting pence had a right to overturn the election that's what you wanted to do on january 6 of last year but they recognize that he remains popular with the republican base so it's not their political interest to alienate him either. it was striking for pence to openly disagree with trump like that at the federalist society friday. this will put more pressure on these discussions in the senate with the reform of the electoral count which is the law that governs the congressional process for affirming those book to certify presidential election . that's going to be even more difficult for the republicans who aren't and house democrats to make this report . >> when we expecting to see something like that for where could this report go? >> it could take some time. a group of top democrats who are on committees with jurisdictions on this issue released a set of proposals last week outlining some of these things
