Now it's time for our daily Bloomberg Law Brief, exploring legal issues in the news, and the law Brief is brought to you by American Arbitration Association. Business disputes are inevitable, resolve faster with the American Arbitration Association, the global leader in alternative dispute resolution for over ninety years. More at a dr dot org. Today Bloomberg Lajos reg Store discusses the prospects for Neil Gorsas to be confirmed as the

ninth in justice on the Supreme Court. He speaks with Rafael Mangul, a project manager for Legal Policy at the Manhattan Institute, and Michel Jowando, vice president of Legal Progress at the Center for American Progress. Rafael, I want to spend just a minute talking about the confirmation process. Do you see any realistic chance that Neil Gorsch will not

be confirmed to the Supreme Court? No, I don't. Um. You know, Chuck Schumer made some noise on the Senate floor, you know, saying indicating that that, um, the judge would need sixty votes to get through. And if that's really

the case, I think you'll get it. Um. You know, at some point the Republicans will have to, you know, confront the fact that they have an option open to them if the Democrats do filibuster, and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't take it if that If that's necessary, Michelle, do you see any chance that the Democrats might might succeed if they do do block a vote? Um? Or should we just assume it's going to be Justice Corsage?

You know, I don't think we should ever make any assumptions. Um. I think November eighteen taught au spent, but I don't think without uh, that it is a definite that Judge Foresig will be on the court. I think a number of Senators, including Senator Casey and Senator Schumer as the minority leader, coming out today strongly that is a signal to other people in the caucus. And I'm not quite sure that he has the vote needs. So I think we should all stay tuned to see what happens next.
