Her confirmation assuming she gets confirmed i believe that'll give- the republicans or the conservative judges say a six three lead on the supreme court which basically means any partisan issue- that falls along republican one is going to have a home field advantage so to speak because you're gonna have six justices on the supreme court bench who are already kind of in line with those.

Those positions and so- the significance is that in my lifetime i can't recall a time where the quote would have been so divided in favor of one of the major political parties and so i think one of the reasons why we're seeing such a closer for us opposite shin.

To her confirmation is because the democrats are scared.

Of what may happen to submit their pet projects like the aca- roe versus wade if she ends up getting confirmed- which is why you're hearing a lot of talk from some democrats about court packing which is.

Where the legislature- they will basically write a bill to expand the number of spots on the supreme court in an effort to dilute the power that the republican majority would have wanted so if buying would win for instance and then the house of representatives and the senate bill allow or- twelve genesis is instead of nine they- may be able to pick.

Three justices to do a six and six split so that the democrats have a better feed so that's that's.

The significance is it's really just a numbers game.

And the idea is that through these confirmation hearings all this evidence of.

Qualifications will be brought to the light and then the senate could vote on it and so obviously if she doesn't get the requisite number of votes.

Then she will not be confirmed so innocent yes you can be denied but in this particular issue i don't really think that's a high probability because- of the republicans have a majority in the senate.

And so- i think that the arguments that you're hearing it's more for political posturing to demonise the republicans because- the left knows that they're in a bit of a blind because they don't have the seats in order to really stop this vote the way.

Miss mcconnell and republicans it back with merrick garland was- appointed or nominated for the beach but now president obama did that so- yes the practicality no.

I'm i'm pretty sure the boat's going to go through.

Not confirmed and then it'll be president trump making another choice if you still president- but if it if it happens after the election and it's not him it's bye.

Bye don't get to be the one who would obviously the democrats would love to start this process out until the election because they think they have a good chance in the polls show but not so.

It's really a power game but everybody wants to have the their own their home field advantage on the court and so you're seeing a lot of dirty.
