The Trump Podcast

Donald Trump has nominated Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court. He is considered a real inheritor of the Scalia tradition. If true, President Trump will have kept a major campaign promise and justified the vote that millions of conservatives cast for him. But can he get confirmed without the killing of the filibuster? In this episode, I talk with Steve Scott, director of the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government and Public Policy and the Kate M. Gregg Professor of Social Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. About what happens next and the possible costs of getting rid of the 60-vote threshold.
