john roberts and samuel alito were confirmed. do you agree with the republican senators who refuse to even hold hearings? they are refusing to even discuss it. do you agree with that? andrew: democrats agreed with that strategy when other president were in office. this is not an unusual debate to have and there have been many times were the democrats said to a republican president, do not nominate somebody in the last year of your presidency. this is not an unusual expectation for congress or the president to have. you have a much better chance of a nominee being confirmed during -- prior to the last year of your presidency. let' s see what the american people think about the president. this is a lifetime appointment, so i think it is best to take -- ed: but the president' years. andrew: he can exercise his right and congress has a responsibility to say whether or not they want to consider it. some of the democrats, even joe biden is saying, you better do this. on the other side, so this is sort of a normal political thing. i tak
