martin van buren, when he was in the senate, senator ted kennedy, senator arlen specter, senator joe biden, judiciary chairmen have prized their independence and guarded it from being man handled. the past chairmen stood firm and faced opposition from presidents and senate leadership. at crucial times in american history, the senate and the nation have looked to the judiciary committee to do the right thing. during the civil war, chairman liman trumble and his committee authored the 13th amendment. the 13th amendment abolished slavery during the civil war. we know during that period of time there was great consternation as to what should be done. even the great president lincoln had trouble deciding what should be done during the early days of the civil war. in 1889, chairman george hoar from massachusetts and his committee drafted the sherman antitrust act refusing to give in to carnegie, vanderbilt and rockefeller monopolies. that was big-time n independence. in 1937, chairman henry ashers from arizona, who was born in winnemaka, nevada, stood in the way of president roosevelt's attempt

when grassley refers to the biden rules, he refers to a speech that joe biden gave when he was chairman of the senate judiciary committee in 1992. he was addressing a situation in an election year. there was a thought that perhaps harry blackmun would retire that year and there would be a vacancy. it did not end up happening, but joe addressed the possibility and he made a very equivocal statement which was, i estimate of the senate judiciary committee do not believe that president george h.w. bush should in this election year make a nomination and if he does, i believe he said, we should seriously can sitter that the committee should not hold hearings on that nominee. that as as see perfectly analogous situation. they are happy to quote senator back towords right anyone who is that they oh president obama's nominee consideration. well,mocrats have said that was a hypothetical, we are talking about actual vacancy and or ais not a plan vacancy justice who is engaging in a political maneuver, somebody died in office and this is an unexpected vacancy and is not the same. host: because they

then trump, robb rubio, sanders, cruz, bloomberg, kasich, biden and romney. if you had to make a best case bet on anybody right now, what would it be? >> there is an interesting phenomenon that happens sometimes where you can bet on two different candidates and ensure you are going win one way or the other. right now it's about a 99% chance that it's going to be hillary and trump based on statisticians. mathematically those odds would make you want to bet on one or the other. i believe that right now we have a spot -- we call it a middle where you can actually bet on both. if you bet $80 on trump you would win $200 if he wins. if you bet $140 on hillary, you would win $100 if she wins. so if hillary wins, you win $100 but you lost your $80 on trump. right now today -- it's not going to last but there is a sweet middle right there that you can bet both sides and guarantee you are going to win money. >> this makes you excited, doesn't it? >> yeah. >> i can tell. you are really into this. you are a good number cruncher. and by the way you are not supposed to bet
