00:00NEIL GORSUCH WOULD BE THE NEXT THE PRIM COURT JUSTICE. IT WAS ALL BUT A FORMALITY. THE SENATE NEEDED TO HAVE THAT VOTE AREA >> EVERYONE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN YESTERDAY AFTER SENATE REPUBLICANS VOTED TO CHANGE THE RULE. THE 60 VOTE THRESHOLD. SINCE THE SENATE HAS BEEN AROUND , THEY CAN ADVANCE THE NOMINATION TO A SUPER MAJORITY. THEY ARE EXPECTED TO BE THREE DEMOCRATS. JOE MANCHIN, JOE DONNELLY, ALREADY STATE DEMOCRATS IN REELECTION IN 2018. THIS IS A HISTORIC DAY AND A BIG WIN FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP. HE HAD A TROUBLED START TO HIS PRESIDENCY. >> CHUCK SCHUMER IS THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER, SAYING LET'S NOT GO TO CASH GO ANY FURTHER DOWN THIS ROAD OF PARTISANSHIP. EFFECTIVELY, IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN? IS THE FILIBUSTER IN DANGER OF LEGISLATION? >> IT IS IN DANGER IN THE SENSE THAT THEY HAVE MOVED ALONG THE ROAD TO ELIMINATE THE FILIBUSTER ENTIRELY. AND THE NEXT STEP IS TO REMOVE IT FOR LEGISLATION. IT SHOULD BE SAID SENATOR MCCONNELL HAS STATED HE IS NOT IN FAVOR OF REMOVING THE FILIBUSTER FOR LEGISLATION. AND DEMOCRATS ARE ALSO SAYING THEY DON'T WANT TO REMOVE THE LEGISLATIVE FILIBUSTER. THE REAL QUESTION IS WHEN IT BECOMES THE ONLY THING STANDING IN THE WAY OF A PARTY OF -- PARTY GETTING FULL CONTROL, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
