this was a voluntary invitation, but right now, one of th democratic senators on you committee, diane feinstein o california, has taken ill. she is unable to be in washington for committee votes it means the democrats don't have an outright majority on the judiciary committee. there are many people who thin this is a bad situation, there have been calls on you colleaguenator feinstein to the eent that is that affectinpeopleare makina tee's work >> w i this slowin down sdges, e ther is a purisan vote, beyou havee device to rge the vote from thte, from committee upsenate it takesra timand then on otherv questihether or not we have eugh votes for oena thatand up in the senateif it'ad run more smoothly, on turns. but in teantime ar are continuin do th investigion inhe court's ethicsnigans, and we are contino clear judges enator s whitehouse, sits on the senate ju mmittee, which just brush-off fromhe chiefjustice, t comip, neweporting o just why tucker cawa fired by fox news, as tu himself, breaks his silence fo first time we will tell you wt he h t might former fox news host gretchen carlson, right

it's up to diane feinstein and her family to decide. but right now, she says, she's going to return. let's make sure that happens and it's sure better happen before the debt ceiling vote. uh you see senator klobuchar, bringing in the debt ceiling vote. this is also the president's, you know, trying to get as many judicial nominees as possible. where's the tipping point? i guess that democrats probably do not have the votes. republican probably won't get 10 republicans to go along to temporarily replace her . so when does the clock when does someone pick up the phone and say, senator? sorry i think that's remains to be seen, chuck schumer said in a statement. she talked to her and she'll be back. quote soon. what does soon mean and i talked to dick durbin before they went on this two week recess. he told me that it has longer term ramifications, because if she is not there, they can't get judicial nominations process to the senate judiciary committee. they deadlocked because of that, and as a result, they can't process them on the floor.

this was a voluntary invitation, but right now, one of th democratic senators on you committee, diane feinstein o california, has taken ill. she is unable to be in washington for committee votes it means the democrats don't have an outright majority on the judiciary committee. there are many people who thin this is a bad situation, there have been calls on you colleague, senator feinstein to resign. to the extent that she i unable to carry out her duties do you understand why people are making that call is that affecting th committee's work >> well, i think it's slowin down some judges, where ther is a pure partisan vote, because you have to use device to discharge the judges vote from the senate, from the committee up to the senate it takes extra time. and then on other investigativ questions, whether or not we have enough votes for subpoena is a different question. that, to, and up in the senate if it's challenge, so it would be, i think, better and things would run more smoothly, and will run more smoothly, one da and returns. but in the meantime, we ar pushing forward. we are continuing to

months ago in press reports it has been difficul to confirm judges given th absence of senator diane feinstein. i think right now, according t the american constitutio society, we know 14 judicial nominees are waiting to be reported out of committee. now, nbc news has yet to confirm this, but it i reported that senator schume this we will put a resolutio on the floor to temporaril fill senator feinstein's sea on the senate judiciar committee. she has been asked to do that, it's reported he's going to do that when is that going to happen and if so, do you all have the votes to have it confirmed v unanimous consent? are we talking with hi filibuster situation >> that is a play. but let me give you the fact as i see it. number one, and she did th right thing saying she would step away from that committee. we need the votes, i'm on that committee. we have unable to confir judges for a month we can't do markups on legislation, that's when w pass the legislation number two, i talked to senato schumer last week. he made very clear he was goin to do this as soon as possible number three, it does need

the big takeaways later this hour and calls growing louder o capitol hill for democrati senator diane feinstein to resign as health concerns keep from the senate. democratic congressman row khanna defending his positio to msnbc earlier today >> the single biggest thin this president can do with the republican house is confirme judges instead that were not being able to confirm judges every day goes by, senator feinstein is unable to be there, and i just think for the goo of the country, confirming these judges, let's have somebody who can vote. >> we have a number of reporters and analysts in plac covering all of these ne developments for us. so let's go now to nbc's chloe atkins joining in the studio o the very latest on these two crucial abortion developments. first of, all we have th supreme court. they are reviewing mifepristone they're reviewing everything about, it's the underpinning of, it what recently the release had created, but w notice a stay until wednesday, it is accessible until wednesday, and then what happens? >> >> so we saw the suprem court move rather quickl yesterday, as on

a lot of time, really through he career, working on issue related to the judiciary i senator diane feinstein one of your longtime colleagues representative or conical fo who resigned because her medical absence is keeping democrats from confirmin judges, no doubt a big priorit for all of you so you think she should resign >> well i have not talked to senator feinstein in several weeks, my hope is that she wil be back as soon as possible. the decision about whether someone should resign rests on that individual, i don't think she should be forced out, think she should take into consideration her health situation, and when she's goin to be back >> you're the chairman of th senate health committee, there's a lot going on wit that committee right now, whic has oversight over the fta right now, approval for th abortion pill could be revoked it is really hanging in th balance. should courts have the ability to rule to take a drug awa from millions of people, lik this, but also others >> look, this is continuation of a fundamenta attack on women's rights, it i beyond comprehension that in the year

california politics is diane feinstein. will she or won't she resigned.'s been out of from silicon valley, democrats says she should step aside now nancy pelosi, democrat from san francisco, says she shouldn't i ask to run for thist before feinstein even announced that she wasn't running for the seat. about what feinstein should do. well i think that's a decision that senator feinstein is going to make. andasons thaty campaign was out of respect for her. not going to run a whisper campaign. i'm not gonna say things behind her back. i respect her work. she's a trailblazer. she made a path for people like me to follow in. but this is a decision that she needs to make. and i think majority leader schumer needs to make a decision about how best to let the committee and cot in the senate keep doing its work. while senator feinstein makes her decision if she were to step aside. it would be up to governor newsom to appoint a replacement. he has said that he would pick an african american woman. do you think he should do that? and do you think he should pick barb
