the biden rules recognize the court can operate smoothly with eight members for some time. cost of such a result, the need to reargue three or four cases that will divide the justices four-four, are quite minor compared to the cost that a nominee, the president, the senate, and the nation would have to pay for what sure would be a better fight. the biden rules recognize that under these circumstances the president should consider following the practice of a majority of his predecessors and not name a nominee until after the november election is completed. the president that he is referring to there is president george hw bush. the biden rules recognize that under these circumstances it does not matter how good a person is nominated by the president. the biden rules recognize that once the political season is underway, action on the supreme court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over. that is what is fair to the nominee and is central to the process. the biden rules recognize that "senate consideration of the nominee under these circumstances i

end of biden quote. well, mr. president, that doesn't sound consistent with all of those biden rules that i shared with my colleagues on monday. so we ask, is it really possible to square chairman biden's 1992 election-year statement with vice president biden's 2016 election-year statement? was chairman biden's 1992 statement really just all about greater cooperation between the senate and the white house when chairman biden said in 1992 that if a vacancy suddenly arises -- quote -- "action on a supreme court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over." was he simply calling for more cooperation when he called for withholding consent -- quote -- "no matter how good a person is nominated by the president"? was he merely suggesting that the president and the senate work together a little bit more, when he said we shouldn't hold hearings until these circumstances, was that all about cooperation between the branches? well, since we're talking about filling justice scalia's seat, it seems prob

biden and mr. fox. he is going to build the wall really high. we are going to reduce the trade deficit did $60 billion. >> i'm kind of laughing. i don't think i should. but coarseness in public life these days. donald trump did it. >> there's a certain amount of decorum he should have as a leader for a set of people. i said this last night in my show. vincente fox always brought me the wrong way. he is an arrogant sop. when he was president mexico, i remember him riding around on his white horse and how we america with a problem because we were buying the drugs they were smuggling into this century, the somehow we were the reason for the massive drug cartels and the terrible economy that somehow he was a real problem. biden and obama still get away with it. they never challenge them on it. >> jumped in when 44%. in nevada he also apologized. watch this. mr. fox apologize for saying mexican illegals take the jobs that blacks won't do and later apologize for the comment in the middle of the last decade. the mac we have a leader speaking out agains

i mean the question of joe biden on the supreme court. there was some reporting that i put to the vice president today, and it produced a very intense moment in our discussion. >> i'm going to throw you a bit of a curve ball which is just this afternoon a senate source has told msnbc that it is beyond just idle chatter, there's been significant discussion that you might conceivably be the president's choice especially under these unusual political circumstances. talk about one person who could get through and nobody else could. if the president asked you to do it, would you say yes? oh, dear. that's next. stay with us. pain when... hey joanne, want to trade the all day relief of 2 aleve with 6 tylenol? give up my 2 aleve for 6 tylenol? no thanks. for me... it's aleve. the nissan rogue. with the power and performance of our intuitive all-wheel drive. now get a $189 per month lease on the 2016 nissan rogue. we heard you got a job as a developer!!!!! its official, i work for ge!! what? wow... yeah! okay... guys, i'll be writing a new languag

plus a big announcement by joe biden. there's lots ahead, stay with us. >>> last night we told you about a new project we're working on. it's our attempt here to flesh out some of the surprisingly elusive details about the hillary clinton versus bernie sanders race on the democratic side of the presidential contest. despite all the punditry and jibber jabber about this race in the press, there's very little hard data reported about the strengths of the clinton and sanders operations, particularly when you get beyond nevada and south carolina. if you're wondering who's going to win that race, it would be helpful to know how strong those campaigns are after nevada and south carolina. we're pretty certain it will go on past nevada and south carolina. neither candidate is expected to crop out no matter how they do in these next two states. that means the next stage, potentially the definitive stage for deciding the democratic presidential nominee this year is going to happen on march 1st and the 11 states that all vote that d

it was a private conversation in the oval office and he let me see and sit in joe biden's seat. it was kind of fun. but we had a very quiet and also very reflective chat and needless to say, he was a little bit uptight about the republican's feeling this seat should not be filled at this time. >> the letter that you signed, the letter the 11 of you signed said the american and who will be the successor to justice scalia. wait a minute, the american people decided that twice elected barack obama. >> the republicans believe that and until next year and termination and get it out of the heated politics we've had over the last number of years. >> if the argument is we live in a very unsettled time politically speaking, imagine a president trump. do you think will will be any more continuity in that kind of environment that would allow a seat like this to be filled. >> it worries me whoever is going to be president because i want the very best that can find to fill the seat and justice scalia was one of the best and he shouldn't be degraded because the president wants somebody that r
