the of republican senators, marsha blackburn of tennessee, top cotton. >> arkansas who you see theren of texas, they all say they will not support this plan, which would give democrats the votes needed to get president biden's judicial nominees out of committee. the call was suggested by feinstein herself after a number of people began calling for her resignation because she's missed at least a dozen votes. now while recovering from shingles here in san francisco, political analysts say that ultimately this does come down to how long feinstein will be absent and how much longer democrats can wait for her to come back. >> the business can still be it's not going to be optimal. it's not going to be sufficient. it's not going to be is simple, but there's still enough time again, judges through the pipeline right now. >> well, at the moment, senate majority leader chuck schumer needs 60 votes, which would mean 10 republicans have to vote along with democrats to make that change. it does not look like that's going to happen. in the south bay, the santa clara city council member made his f

senator marsha blackburn of tennessee republican has already said she's not going to back this effortn's manu raju his life for us on capitol hill, manu. how likely is it that other republicans are going to go along with us? very unlikely, jake. in fact, i even speaking with top republicans all afternoon, and they are making clear that they will not support the democratic effort to replace diane feinstein from the senate judiciary committee, essentially giving republicans veto power over diane judicial nominees who may move along party lines because that one absence fine dining fans hands absence ensures that they can bottle up any committee judicial nominee in committee if they do not give consent to advance any of president biden's judicial nominees to the senate floor. earlier today, john cornyn, the senior republican and member of mitch mcconnell's leadership team, made clear he does not believe republicans should cooperate. this is it turns out unprecedented over the years senators from both sides as i indicated a moment ago have needed time away due to various health issues. nev

we've heard from senator marsha blackburn, as well as senator tom cotton, that they are not easily goingto go along with this plan, in fact, saying that they are not going to do anything in their power to help the biden administration advance its judicial nominees and committees, so that leaves very few option. shins right now for minority leader, majority leader. excuse me, chuck schumer . meanwhile some democrats arguing that they need to see senator dianne feinstein step aside as a senator, others arguing it's up to her to decide here's senator kirsten gillibrand. we believe that a senator should be able to make their own judgments about when the retiring and when they're not, and they all deserve a chance to get better and come back to work. senator bernie sanders and independent echoing that sentiment that this is a decision that is a personal one for u s senator to make jim big deal because with the majority of the senate, but not the house, those judicial harmonies are pretty much all the president can do. let's talk about another senator returning john fetterman coming back after

since then, you know, the most prominent person there would would be marsha blackburn, the senator to give you a sense of sort of how the politics have moved. you know, it's interesting. the battle, though , between nashville or memphis, the kind of urban big population centers versus the state and the more rural ex urban suburban, more republican led parts of the state that has only grown since obama was elected and the statehouse flipped to republican control right, and it's not just a flip right because of gerrymandering. tennessee is a republican state. ah but it's not a 75% to 25% republican state, which is what the legislator legislature looks like. so that's that's part of it. how much do you see what's going on in tennessee is kind of i don't know. just a proxy fight to how bitter our politics have gotten in general. i think it's more a proxy fight to for these longer ongoing trends. there are so many states that are held by republican legislatures right and so many cities that have a democrat led city hall and you're constantly seeing this friction of people trying to legisla

senator marsha blackburn comment afterwards. after the massacre. my office is in contact with federal, state and local officials. we stand ready to assist. in what they're dead. is it freedom for kids to go to school? and try to socialize. and try to learn and be scared to death that they might die that day. but ted cruz will fix him because he's going to double the number of cops in the schools. what's interesting about papa. he's been doing this for years. i do find, though, that when his teams were better , his words landed with a lot more impact, right. it's kind of cold statement about american life, you know, and how this goes. i think there's an irony in all of this, though that's lost, which is the idea that somebody could have a seat in the legislative body and would have to go outside the capital in order to make enough noise because it was happening with the state houses like i know john oliver did something many years ago about this. but nationwide what state houses have been able to do in terms of changing their composition and making
