Senate Democrats Filibuster Neil Gorsuch’s SCOTUS Nomination

>>> WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK TO CAPITOL HILL NOW.
JOINING ME NOW IS KACIE HUNT. WE CONCLUDED ONE VOTE, AND WE
HAD I BELIEVE FOUR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS NOT SUPPORT THE REST OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PACK ON THIS AND IT ENDED UP BEING A 55-45 VOTE?
>> THAT IS RIGHT, ALI. AND THOSE FOUR SENATORS WE SAW
BREAK WITH THIS, WE EXPECTED THAT TO HAPPEN, IT IS RED STATE
SENATORS, AND THEY DIDN'T SEE IT AS A WORTHWHILE THING TO
FILIBUSTER THIS NOMINATION. THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT LOSING A
GENERAL ELECTION KARATER THAN A PRIMARY CHALLENGE FROM THEIR OWN
PARTY, AND IT WAS PLATEENNED BY MANY ACTIVIST GROUPS HELPING
THIS GET TO A POINT WHERE IT DID SUCCEED.
THE LAST WAS NOW A SERIES OF MOTIONS THAT
REQUIRE THE SENATE TO VOTE. SO IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT
WHAT AND FORTH. YOU WILL SEE THE SENATE GO INTO
A ROLL CALL VOTE ON AN X PROCEDURAL MOTION OR A Y
PROCEDURAL MOTION. WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE VOTE TO
CHANGE
