extraordinary honor to clerk for a justice of the united states supreme court, harry blackmun, who was appointed by a republican president, richard nixon. he grew as a justice, and surprised a lot of people. he no doubt surprised the president who appointed him. and that is what happens to really extraordinary men and women who serve on our courts as well as in the united states senate. they grow in the job. and choosing a united states supreme court justice is one of the most solemn and important duties that a president has and confirming her or him is one of the most important tasks we had in this body. even at the most difficult and contentious times, as i served then as a law clerk and as i have litigated since then for several decades, i have never doubted that judges were working in good faith to uphold the rule of law. whether they rule my way or not, i believe that they -- i believed that they were working to try to be above partisan politics and uphold the rule of law and do the right thing to follow the law, but the supreme court does more than follow. it leads. today's vote is a significant challenge to that principle

richard galpin, bbc news. football now, and tottenham are continuing to press the leaders, chelsea, at the top of the premier league after beating bournemouth 4—0 at white hart lane. there were goals for harryeen reports. it's at this point of the season that tottenham are used to seeing their hopes fade. but this year seems different — if chelsea falter, spurs are waiting in the wings. where once the gap at the top looked insurmountable, now there's a glimmer of light. and that light shone even brighter when moussa dembele drilled them ahead against bournemouth. in the recent absence of harry kane through injury, son heung—min proved an able deputy. reunited, they combined for tottenham to make it two. spurs have turned white hart lane into something of a fortress — no premier league team has a better home record — and kane, as he showed again, is one of the main reasons why. that's 25 goals in all competitions. and goals could prove crucial if tottenham do push chelsea all the way. the gloss was provided by vincent janssen. the importance of this win all too clear to manager mauricio pochettino. david ornstein, bbc news. formula one, and a mercedes driver has got pole position for tomorro

. >> harris: what i was alluding to, senator schumer said when we call this whole thing off and sit down, come up with a different candidate? >> sandra: richardowler was sitting in your chair saying this is about america garland and is revenged to make revenge. >> howard: this is middle school politics. we talk about senate stalling tactics and each side will vote the minority, it's getting a little old. >> harris: no one had good hair and middle school, by the way. the republicans gain any street crowd by saying we are going to do this and now we'll do this or does it backfire on them? what your take? >> howard: given that harry reid illuminated certain filibusters, he ran the senate, i don't think they took a big hit on that. yes, it cause president trump to not put major pieces of legislation on the board. this would be a major delivery of a campaign promise and republicans can take some credit for it. it will be ugly. >> harris: speaking of health care, obamacare repeal is very much still on the table. what are some potential changes to the republicans overhaul plan could bring everybody on board. also warm and fuzzy. plus, we continue to

richard norton smith, you have talked about the golden age of the american presidency. you talked about roosevelt, truman, eisenhower, lyndon johnson and john kennedy. harry truman fell out of the top 10 for the first time. why do think that age is still very important to historians and others who write about the presidency? know there is a next argument whether historians are left of center. it is more complicated. i think there is a consensus within the scholarly community that the presidency in the 20th century was reinvented here and maybe beginning with theodore roosevelt. that had been essentially administrative, became one of advocacy, often moral advocacy. as our economy grew exponentially, of the role of the president for better or worse, it is for better or worse transform. by the newasized deal, world war ii. think of the crises that fdr, truman the cold war, eisenhower, kennedy dealing with civil rights revolution, lyndon johnson. it is interesting that those five presidents should all be 10 by ourthe top historians. i am not sure it is anything to do with left or right so much as the notion of the president as the national agenda center if yo

something suggested about by richard nixon when he was vice president back in the 1950s, change these rules. no one ever took hem up on it. the democrats did in 2013. harryd who was the leader of the party at that point and the senate did change it for some cabinet level positions and lower federal court judge appointments because he was frustrated the republicans were doing what they think the democrats are doing today. and the moment he did it, it changed things in the senate. and everybody on both sides said, boy, we shouldn't do this because it is hurting the tradition of working with each other. that's where we are today. at one level it is about confirming a supreme court. what this is about is changing the senate. and they call it nuclear option because when we think of dropping a nuclear weapon, you don't come back from this thing. the more you damage relationships in the senate, the more you permanently change the nature of working with one another. >> is gorsuch's confirmation a foregone conclusion. >> it is in the sense that the republicans in the senate if they're willing to make this rule change can guarantee he will get through. and what it

harry truman. the moderate dwight eisenhower takes conservative richard nixon. the more moderate jfk takes a more conservative lbj and mark conservative richard nixon takes henry cabot lodge. the parties operated in a sense of equilibrium for a generation or two. goldwater's nominated in 1964. they unify the party. bill miller is a little-known congressman from buffalo, new york is even more conservative than he is. goldwater at the time said she was asked why he picked bill miller and he said something like this about lyndon johnson even more than i do. but this conservative ticket begins the process of driving moderate liberal side of the republican party. they become the democrat, but also begins to process the track and conservative democrats. going through democrats and republicans and begins the process of reorganizing the two major political parties and it continues in 72 by george mcgovern who will pick the equally liberal tom eagleton said that the two parties represent pretty much monolithic ideologies. when it's all liberal can one is so conservative.
