meantime, we have other lawmakers like tammy duckworth of illinois arguing that perhaps lawmakers should be more skeptical, that just because of a conversation that a lawmaker has with a potential nominee, that doesn't mean that once the nominee becomes a justice, they will follow through with their previous statements. so it is all coming down to a very jam-packed week for the president. he's expected to continue doing these interviews or perhaps start doing these interviews. but the announcement is coming in just about a week from tomorrow, so it seems like the white house is playing out some sort of apprentice supreme court version. we'll see what the president says in the coming days, ana. >> the anticipation is definitely building. boris sanchez, thank you very much. we want to talk more now about the immense impact the next supreme court will have on this country. neil caught y'all is a law professor at georgetown university and the former acting u.s. solicitor general, who has argued more than 30 cases before the u.s. supreme court. neil, so glad you could join us. glad to have yo

here is tammy duckworth from this weekend. >> i think if you abolish ice, it reflects the policies of president. you abolish ice, you have the same failed president with the failed policies. whatever you replace it with reflects what the president wants to do. there's a lot of other things we can do before we get to that point. >> the big question, what are those other things? can democrats be of one accord moving into november? >> i think that's the key question. i think it was widely understood in the country that the president overplayed his hand here with the child separation or the zero tolerance policy but that he did have a mandate in the election for cracking down on immigration. so the democratic response then has been, let's abolish ice to respond to the president overplaying his hand. the point i think that tammy duckworth was making is the abolition of ice is understood as democrats pushing for no border enforcement. the crisis of migrants flooding across the border i don't think will be accepted or tolerated by americans. that's why trump had a mandate and he bungled the

this is senator tammy duckworth this morning. >> well, if you are abolishing i.c.e. as a reflective agency, it is reflecting the policies of the white house and the president. you have i.c.e., you have the white house, and the same failed policies, so whatever you reflect it with is what the president wants the do. there is a number of things that we can do before we get to that point. first ott which is that you have somebody in the white house who has policies which are horrendous, and still is not fixed and the families are separated and children in cages and the nursing babies are separated from their moms. >> and is there a kid census as opposed to latching on to something like this where there is a split? >> well, the first important thing is that i.c.e. does not work at the border, and the custom and border control works at the border and i.c.e. is within the united states. this is a proxy of the debate of whether the united states should be going after undocumented immigrants who are already living in the united states who have not committed some other kind o

now, other lawmakers, like senator tammy duckworth of illinois, are suggesting lawmakers should be more skeptical this time around. listen to tammy duckworth. >> i would say to my colleagues who have shown some real bravely, both susan collins and lisa murkowski have shown incredible bravery my first couple years in the senate, to don't just trust what somebody says to you in a conversation trying to get your vote. it's what's going to happen on the supreme court. >> reporter: fred, i did want to note president trump took part in an interview this morning in which he said he hoped this would be a quick process, but he did said he believed it would be vicious. >> oh, boy. okay. well, that's quite the warning shot, isn't it? boris sanchez, thank you so much. let's talk about all of this now. joining me now is cnn political analyst karen. good to see you both. trump has said this decision will come, or at least a name will rise to the top one week from tomorrow. we heard senator collins, who says she wants a longer list. will the president take her advice? >> right now it doesn't look that

turns out not every democrat to include tammy duckworth believes socialism reflects the future of the tammy duckworth said and we will get your reaction. >> i think it's the future of the party in the bronx where she is. i think that we as legislators need to listen to our constituency and get out there. i think what she did, she did the hard work. she pounded the pavement and she was out there talking to every one of her constituents. that was the difference. she turned out her voters and reflected the needs of her district. pete: how fractured is the democratic party, daniel. >> very fractured, pete. socialism is a disaster. only people who support socialism are only people who don't know what it sand people want who want to win elections. do we understand what socialism is in millennials prefer socialism. that's because they don't know what it is. socialism is the government control of the means of production. rights? meaning your farms, your factories, your service industries. your jobs, your income. that's all controlled by the government. you know what? it's interesting that peo

here senator tammy duckworth. >> republicans cannot turn a blind eye to know that putin has compromised officer and chief. >> and today, a democratic congressman, soft molten. >> to think it's possible the president is a russian asset with or without his knowledge? >> i don't know. >> steve: the extremism of the left pushes people not away from president trump, but towards him. after the unhinged russia talk, there to important things to remember. first, putin is not the only dictator threatening america. china's president is much more evil and much bigger threat. china has been meddling in our democracy for years. he barely heard of people out of the elites in washington because they're corrupted by chinese cash. we will show you this in a swamp watch on next sunday. secondly, were the ones who made her democratic protestant vulnerable to foreign attacks by buying into the idea that technology improves it. here's another, rod rosenstein talking about how the justice department is trying to protect the 22 midterm elections. >> public attribution to help counter or mitigate the harm call

latest liberal already darling but ocasio-cortez finds herself left out of the establishment as tammy duckworth is the latest to downplay her when calling her take over reflective of the future for her community, not the country. >> i think it's the future of the party in the bronx where she is. i think that we as legislators need to listen to our constituency and get out there. i think what she did what she did the hard work. she was out there talking to everyone of her constituents and that was the difference, she turned out her voters and that reflected the needs of her district . >> you can't win in the white house without the midwest and i don't think you can go far too far to the left and admit win the midwest. you need to talk to the industrial midwest, listen to the people there in order to win an election. heather: if she's able to best republican anthony pappas in november, ocasio-cortez will become the youngest woman ever elected to congress. from maxine waters fanning the flame of the left wing firestorm she has created. >> i am not about to let this country go by the way of donald

senator tammy duckworth and congressman brad snyder have introduced legislation the hundred 15th congress that will make a long way of effective communities hold. the legislation will not only play to zion, but other communities throughout the united states, and are experiencing a decommissioning process. the act is called sensible timely release of american nuclear district economic development act of 2017. that all goes out to stranded. it talks about stranded nuclear waste. these are hr .30 9.70, and as .19 .03, i am hopeful that this legislation will successfully pass both houses of congress. this is an issue that should receive bipartisan support. nuclear power plants are located in both republican and democratic districts. i am hopeful for what this legislation will differ zion for the zion community. i am particularly hopeful for what it will do for all communities across the united states that are presently hosting nuclear power plants. every one of those plans are facing decommissioning in the spent fuel storage issue. i hope the legislation will help those communities afford --

here's senator tammy duckworth on why she's reluctant to join the moment. >> you abolish i.c.e.ow, you still have the same president with the same failed policies. it's still going to reflect what this president wants to do. there's other things we can do before we get to that point. >> joining me now, congresswoman debbie dingell from michigan. your calls, ma'am, to abolish i.c.e., your thoughts? >> i'm not going to let president trump define this discussion and democrats need to be very careful to do that. there isn't one of us that doesn't want to keep this country safe. i.c.e. didn't come into being until after the 9/11 attacks on this country. nor did they have responsibility for keeping our boarders safe. that's the job of customs border patrol. you have to look at the fact that 19 members of i.c.e. this week, senior members of i.c.e., have asked the secretary of homeland security to reassign them because they can't do their jobs effectively anymore, because they need to partner with communities. so we need to have a discussion about how to keep this country safe, yes. i'm

i want you to take a look from democratic senator tammy duckworth from illinois.epublicans cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the very real possibility that vladimir putin has compromised and turned him without his knowledge into a russian asset. do you agree with that, congressman? >> i think the problem is we just don't know, jake, and that's what's so embarrassing about this situation. i don't know of a time in american history, when an american commander in chief has gone into a one-on-one meeting with an adversary and refused to tell him about it. refused to tell his own intelligence chief what he discussed, so this raises an awful lot of questions what russia may have on trump and what trump is trying to do with putin. >> so you think it's possible that trump is a russian asset with or without his knowledge? >> i'm just saying i don't know. but the behavior i saw from the president on television, rather than standing up for our allies, rather than hammering putin for the way he's tried to undermine our democracy, russia's been -- the fact that we have to

tammy duckworth was there protesting and talking with jake tapper on cnn this morning. let's listen what she had to say about abolishing i.c.e. >> do it now, you have the same president with the same failed policies. whatever you replace it with will reflect what the president wants to do. >> no. you don't support abolishing i.c.e.? >> i think there's other things to do before getting to that point. >> we were talking last hour about a piece in "the daily beast" indicating the hispanic caucus is not in favor of abolishing i.c.e. about the protests, your takeaway of yesterday and from that protest that i mentioned on capitol hill earlier this week. >> my take is that, i mean, i think there's a same fervor among those activists you saw in donald trump's actual campaign to build the wall and, you know, the problem, of course, is that there's little chance things like this get translated to legislation. i agree with jason. if you can use this for turnout in november, great. but, you know, as with building the wall, you know, i just spent a week watching republicans stymie t

listen to tammy duckworth, the senator of illinois. >> is this the future of the democratic party? >> i think it is the future of the party in the bronx where she is. i think that we, as legislators, need to listen to our constituency. >> are you concerned at your party is going to part to the left to win in midterms? >> i think that you cannot win in the white house without the midwest. i do not think you can go too far to the left and still win the midwest. >> the democrats love a youth movement. did have cause for concern? >> i think at this one house primary has been over interpreted to fairly well. no offense to him, but he has had this coming for a long time. you can't get on the ballot unless you get up a jillion signatures. this was incumbent protectionism. one of the reasons why he lost is that he knew that this was long overdue. he got hit and now, they will have a congresswoman that represents that district. you have worked on the hill. there are weird members of congress. and i mean that both as people, but ideologically diverse, covering a broad spectrum. >> dana: my n

but one is faced with the reality, senator tammy duckworth put it out today, where she says republicans in congress cannot continue to turn a blind eye toward the very real possibility that vladimir putin has compromised our commander in chief and turned him perhaps without his knowledge into a russian asset. one is left with diminishing possibilities here as to why donald trump won't take one of the easy options and try to confront vladimir putin 1/10 as much as he goes after trudeau and merkel and may and others. >> well, it's hard to know. i would say he's acting like -- of course we don't know the facts yet. we'll find out eventually. but he's acting brilliantly like what we would call in my former business not a controlled asset but an agent of influence, that is, someone who is easily influenced to say in this case what the russians want him to say and how they want him to act. i put this down in large part -- we'll find out eventually if there was some kind of collusion or putin holds something over his head. who knows at this point? i put it down in part to naivete and arrogance

. >> alexandra responding on twitter to the comments of tammy duckworth saying clear, strong advocacy not just for the bronx and where bernie sanders won and then lost in the general. so i get your point to a point, simone. but looking at this, what is the plan now to prevent a repeat there? i mean, as she asked and also in terms of making this more of a big tent party, how do you go about that? >> look. erica, i'm from nebraska. i don't know if people know. go big red. there are black and brown people all over this country. there are progressive working people all over this country. and i think when you talk about the economy, when you talk about a real plan for hard working every day people in this country that cuts across the board and so i think it's a little overblown to be concerned about alexandra's race in new york. >> we'll listen in now to sarah sanders at the white house. >> announced the arrest of an ohio man providing material support to al qaeda. on sunday, the suspect explained to an undercover fbi agent that he was planning to conduct an attack in cleveland on independ
