THEY CALL A SAFARI.
WILL IT CHANGE ANYTHING?
FORMER TRUMP AID FACES CHARGES
FOR STONE WALLING THE JANUARY
6th COMMITTEE.
WE BEGIN WITH THE KIND OF BIG
NEWS IN AMERICA THAT HAS AT
TIMES BEEN PUSHED ASIDE BY OTHER
BIG NEWS AROUND THE WORLD.
THAT MAY BE UNDERSTANDABLE.
THIS IS THE BIG STORY.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN IN A DIFFERENT NEWS ENVIRONMENT, THE
DIFFERENT NEWS ENVIRONMENT, THE
BIG STORY FOR WEEKS RUNNING.
ON A PATH TO BEING MUCH CLOSER
TO JOINING THIS COURT WHICH
WOULD MAKE HER THE FIRST
POLICEWOMAN WOMANBLACK
WOMAN TO SIT ON THE HIGHEST
COURT IN THE LAND IN AMERICA.
THEY WENT FORWARD WITH THE VOTE
ABOUT ADVANCING HER TO THE FULL
SENATE.
THIS WAS DEADLOCKED.
11-11.
THAT MEANS THE NOMINATION
GOES --
>> IN FAVORABLY REPORTING THE
NOMINATION OF KETANJI JACKSON TO
GO FORWARD.
THE CLERK WILL CALL THE ROLL.
>> 11 YAYS.
11 NAYS.
IT'S A TIE VOTE.
>> IT'S A TIE VOTE TO THE
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME
COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> THAT WAS THE NEWS LATE IN THE
DAY.
THAT WAS THE TIE VOTE.
YOU MAY RECOGNIZE THAT ROOM FROM
THE TIMES CONTROVERSIAL
QUESTIONING OF THE NOMINEE.
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT NOW IS
THE SENATE FLOOR LIVE BECAUSE
THIS IS A BIG NIGHT FOR THE
SENATE.
THE MAJORITY LEADER, CHUCK
SCHUMER WHO HAS THE POWER IS
SETTING UP WHAT WILL BE A FLOOR
DEBATE.
THEN YOU'LL SEE MITCH McCONNELL
AND OTHERS WEIGH IN.
THAT WILL SPEAK TO THE PROCESS
THAT'S PROCEDURE AND THE
OUTCOME, WHETHER OR NOT SHE WILL
JOIN THE SUPREME COURT.
IT WILL BE A PROCEDURAL VOTE IN
THE FULL SENATE SOON.
THAT'S NOT THE ONE WE'RE REALLY
WATCHING.
THAT WILL BE 51 VOTES TO GO
FORWARD WITH THE VOTING PROCESS.
THE BIG VOTE, THE FINAL
CONFIRMATION VOTE IS EXPECTED
LATE NER THER IN THE WEEK.
THERE'S SIGNS JACKSON WILL HAVE
ENOUGH SUPPORT TO BE ON THE
COURT.
AS REPORTED, SHE GOT ONE
REPUBLICAN PUBLICLY VOICING HER
SUPPORT BEFORE THE OFFICIAL VOTE
ON THE FLOOR.
THAT'S SUSAN COLLINS.
MANY ARE WATCHING SENATOR MITT
ROMNEY AND SENATOR LISA MUR
MURKOWSKI AND OTHER REPUBLICANS
WHO MIGHT COME AROUND TO SUPPORT
BIND'S NOMINEE.
THEN THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE
THAT CAME UP THAT HAS MORE OF
THE CIRCUS VIBE FROM THE
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS WITH
REPUBLICANS MAKING REFUTABLE
CLAIMS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE ACROSS
THE AISLE, IN LEGAL CIRCLES AND
THE POLICE UNIONS AND OTHER
GROUPS HAVE SAID IS A VALID,
LEGITIMATE MAINSTREAM NOMINEE.
WE'RE HEARING SOMETHING ELSE.
>> IF JUDGE JACKSON IS
CONFIRMED, I BELIEVE SHE WILL
PROVE TO BE THE MOST EXTREME AND
THE FURTHEST LEFT JUSTICE EVER
TO SERVE ON THE UNITED STATES
SUPREME CORDURT.
>> JUDGE JACKSON WILL CODDLE
CRIMINALS.
>> JUDGE JACKSON IS BEHOLDEN TO
THE RADICAL LEFT THAT THEY CAN
CHOOSE THEIR OWN SEX.
>> SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN
ARE NOT FICTION.
>> AFTER FOUR DAYS OF HEARINGS,
I KNOW WHY THE LEFT LIKES HER SO
MUCH.
>> WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE
NARRATIVE, THE LANGUAGE, THE
RHETORIC OF A LOSS.
THAT'S WHY YOU HEARD MORE
PREDICTIONS ABOUT HOW SHE'LL BE
ON THE COURT BECAUSE REPUBLICAN
SENATORS WHO WENT TO THE MAT
AGAINST HER AND SOMETIMES WITH
CLAIMS THAT WERE MISLEADING OR
FACT CHECK O ARE TREATING IT As
A GIVING.
THEY BELIEVE SHE WILL BE
EXTREME.
WE'LL REPORT ON WHAT HER
DECISIONS ARE LIKE AND WHETHER
THEY ARE IN THE LEGAL MAINSTREAM
OR NOT.
SENATOR GRAHAM SAID HE
DISCOVERED WHY THE LEFT LIKES
HER SO MUCH.
HE PUT HER IN THE POSITION TO BE
ON THE SUPREME COURT. HE WAS ONE OF THE REPUBLICAN
HE WAS ONE OF THE REPUBLICAN
VOTES THAT PUT HER ON THE COURT
FOR D.C. KIRCIRCUIT.
HE SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD.
>> IF WE GET BACK BACK THE
SENATE AND WOOIR IN CHARGE OF
THIS BODY, WE WILL TALK TO OUR
COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE BUT
IF WE WERE IN CHARGE, SHE WOULD
NOT HAVE BEEN BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE.
YOU WOULD HAVE HAD SOMEBODY MORE
MODERATE THAN THIS.
>> THAT'S LINDSEY GRAHAM
VIEWING.
HE HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY IT.
YOU HAVE A REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT
DENYIED A LAWFUL SUPREME COURT
APPOINTMENT GETTING HEARING
URNTSDS OBAMA
UNDER OBAMA.
THAT'S WHAT McCONNELL DID.
THAT BROKE PRECEDENT AT TIME.
WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN THE GASPS
OF THIS LOSS, POTENTIALLY OR
THIS ANGER IS THE IDEA THAT JOE
BIDEN IS WINNING.
HE FOUND A NOMINEE THAT COULD
GET THROUGH BECAUSE THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE THE LAST CALL AS
LONG THAZAS THEY STAY TOGETHER. WE'RE JOINED BY SOME VERY
WE'RE JOINED BY SOME VERY SPECIAL GUESTS.
SPECIAL GUESTS.
WELCOME TO YOU BOTH. IS IT KRI78 KRITCRITICISM.
IS IT KRI78 KRITCRITICISM.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
IT'S NOT MY JOB TO PREDICT AND
WE'RE COUNTING UP THE OVER 50 MP
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND WITH THE
HISTORY THAT MIGHT BE MADE HERE?
>> WELL, I THINK IT'S AN
INCREDIBLY HISTORIC MOMENT FOR
THIS NATION.
THIS NATION NEEDS A DIVERSE
SUPREME COURT WITH A DIVERSE
POPULATION, WITH A DIVERSE
CONSTITUENCY.
WE NEED TO HAVE DIVERSE JUDGES.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT JUDGE KETANJI
BROWN JACKSON IS SHE'S SO WELL
QUALIFIED.
DURBIN GOT IT RIGHT TODAY.
HOW MANY SAT THROUGH THAT KIND
OF BASHING, MISREPRESENTATION OF
OUR HISTORY, JUST MISSTATING THE
LAW.
ALL OF THESE JUST ABSOLUTELY SAL
SALACIOUS AND WICKED COMMENTARY
BEEN MADE.
HOW MANY OF US SIT SOMEWHERE AS
A WOMAN AND HAVE TO DEFY WHATINE
IS A WOMAN.
IT'S SOMETHING REALLY UGLY HERE.
THIS BLACK WOMAN, THIS IS BEING
USED TO REALLY DEBATE AN
INCREDIBLY TALENTED JURIST.
WHAT I HATE IS WHAT THAT WAS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE'S THIS
GREAT NEWS SHE'S GOING TO BE
CONFIRMED.
WHEN SHE'S ON THAT COURT, SHE
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING THAT
BEAUTIFUL, HIGH LEVEL INTELLECT
INTELLECTUALISM AND WONDERFUL
COMPORTMENT.
SHE WILL BE AN AMAZING JUSTICE
AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO SEE HER.
I CAN TELL YOU, BLACK WOMEN WILL
BE CELEBRATING ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY T ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE'RE READY.
WE'RE READY.
>> DPLTHERE YOU HAVE IT.
WHAT WHATOULD IT MOON FOR HER TO
JOIN IT?
>> THIS IS SOMEONE WHO IS
INCREDIBLY QUALIFIED.
SHE HAD TO BE MORE THAN
INCREDIBLY QUALIFIED TO GET THIS
FAR. AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE WAY
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TREATED
HER.
SHE'S GOT POISE, CHARACTER,
BRILL
BRILLIANCE.
THAT'S WHY TWO-THIRDS OF
AMERICANS SUPPORT HER WHICH IS
GREATER THAN MANY OF THE PAST
NOMINEES.
THIS COURT IS THE MOST
CONSERVATIVE COURT IN OUR
LIFETIME.
PEOPLE ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT
AGREE.
IT'S BEEN MADE SO BECAUSE OF THE
COUPLE OF RECENT APPOINTMENTS
BECAUSE JUSTICE KAVANAUGH
REPLACED JUSTICE KENNEDY WHICH
WAS QUITE A BIT TO THE RIGHT AND
JUSTICE BARRETT REPLACING
JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBERG.
I DON'T SEE JUSTICE JACKSON
BEING TREMENDOUSLY DIFFERENT FROM HER FORMER BOSS, JUSTICE
FROM HER FORMER BOSS, JUSTICE
STEPHEN BREYER.
IT'S SO TELLING.
JUSTICE BREYER WAS CONFIRMED
87-9.
THIS JOKE SENATE COMMITTEE
REPUBLICANS ON THE SENATE
COMMITTEE, YOU KNOW, THEIR
CARTOON CHARACTERS.
THEY CAN'T VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO
REALLY CARRIES JUSTICE BREYER
TRADITION FORWARD.
THE NOMINEE IS NOT WHAT HAS
