brewing in politics i'm joined by our politics monday duo, amy walter of the cook political report, with amy walter and tamarath of npr. >> woodruff: hello to both of u. let's pick up on this, tam. it is starting, as we said, starting to be a trend. the republicans have been going after their members who voted to impeach former psident trump. now we're seeing the democrats do that. what do these kinds of moves say about the parties? do they end up helping them politically? do they end up healing? i mean, what are we seeing? >> tamara: as you say, this is primarily been a republican trend. in particular, republicans who voted to impeach former president trump have been targeted by their state parties. and now senator sinema being censored by her party, the arizona democratic leadership in that party believes that voting rights is one of the existential issues. and so they are censoring her. she isn't up for re-election this year. what it signals is she is out of sync with at least part of her party. and certainly the state parties, whether it be republican or democrat, that is where you're going to find the ac

politics on both sides of the debate, our potics monday team: amy walter of "the cook political report with amy walter," and tamara of npr. thank you for joining us. amy, i'm going to start with you, we just heard lisa's discussion just now of the filibuster debate abt it. however you look at it the prospects don't look good. i think to put it mildly on voting rights. with the filibuster, or without the filibuster. you, people are asking and people are asking why go ahead with this to the democrats when the rospect looks so dim. yesterday we heard congressman jim clyburn of south carolina say on one of the sunday shows, on several of the sunday shows, the reason we need to go ahead is we need to know where you stand. are you with us or are you against us. what about that line of thinking on the part of the democrats, amy? >> well, that's right. judy, there has been so much for these last few months, democrats just seem to be running in place. and the issue isn't much about trying to do work within their own party, rather than trying to get a bipartisan coalition together. joe manchin has been at the center of a lo

with amy walter of the cook political report with amy walter. and asma khalid of npr. tamara woodruff: tel hello to both of you. the big story of last week, justice stephen breyer announcing he is going to step down, giving president biden an opportunity to name someone he wants on the court. amy, the president has said this is going to be someone supremely qualified, and it is going to be a black woman. what are the opportunities here for him? and what does he need to be worried about? >> yeah, judy, that's right. he has his opportunity both to make a permanent influence on the court. this is somebody who most likely will be under the age of 60, so able to sit on the court for a good long time. also, it allows him, as you pointed out, judy, to make good on his promise he made on the campaign trail to appoint a black woman to this position. the other thing that i'm looking for, though, is how republicans are going to react to this. it was interesting to watch, for example, senator dick durbin come out today d talk to reporters and say, you know what, i've talked to a lot of f
