b"Incredibly, over the weekend, Progressive Democratic U.S. House candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had to ask out loud, "Are we fighting or not?" over whether Senate Democrats should do everything within their power to block a vote on Donald Trump's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court to replace the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Democratic Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer called on Americans to pressure their Senators to block Trump's second pick for the Court, who would be the decisive vote in reversing decades of hard-won civil rights, and subject to conflict of interest questions in potential ruling on a president in the midst of a major criminal investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.\\xa0 But it's still unclear today whether all Democrats are on board for the fight, whether any Republicans will actually join them, and whether Democrats are willing block such a vote entirely after Senate Republicans blocked Obama's SCOTUS nominee for nearly a year. Many "Very Smart People" in the media and Democratic politics seem to be advocating that Dems should 'keep their powder dry' until after the crucial midterm elections, or else risk losing seats in Congress in the November mid-term elections. Callers weigh in on the potential pathways forward, such as Democrats walking out to deprive the Senate of a quorum, and Brad's argument that this is the fight of all of our lives, so political calculations are both outrageous and counter-productive for Democrats at this crucial moment in our Trump/GOP-fueled National Emergency."
