The Takeout: Why Neil Gorsuch isn't David Souter
CBS News Legal Correspondent Jan Crawford and Carrie Severino of the Judicial Crisis Network join "The Takeout" podcast to discuss all things Supreme Court at Casa Luca in Washington, DC.
Neil Gorsuch
Supreme Court nominee Gorsuch
President Trump wants Senate Republicans to change the rules if needed to confirm his Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch. Some Senate Democrats already oppose him, but for others, the vote will be a tough call. Jan Crawford reports.
Confirmation clashes
Two Republicans have said they will not vote for Betsy DeVos, President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Education. Democrats, meanwhile, are preparing to fight the President's Supreme Court pick as well. Leslie Sanchez, CBSN political contributor and Republican strategist, and Nomiki Konst, CBSN political contributor and Democratic strategist, join CBSN to discuss the conflicts.
SCOTUS nomination battle
President Trump endorsed a "nuclear option" that would do away with the filibuster in the confirmation hearings for his Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch.

Trump: 'Go nuclear'
President Donald Trump hopes that Neil Gorsuch is quickly approved to join the Supreme Court, even if it requires the Senate to implement a "nuclear-option". The option allows the Senate to approve nominees with only 51 votes, but does not typically apply to Supreme Court nominees. Former Clinton White House Deputy Staff Secretary David Goodfriend discusses the Democratic plans to potentially block Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.
Who is Neil Gorsuch?
President Donald Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court vacancy is federal appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch of Colorado. CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford discusses Gorsuch's judicial philosophy on CBSN.

After Senate Republicans blocked former President Obama's Supreme Court nominee for 10 months, Democrats are pushing back against President Trump's nominee. CBS News congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes explains the challenges Neil Gorsuch is likely to face.
Neil Gorsuch's record
Democrats are pushing their Senators to oppose the Neil Gorsuch Supreme Court appointment, saying the seat was stolen from Merrick Garland. How hard will his confirmation fight be and what perspectives does Gorsuch bring to the high court? The Cato Institute's Ilya Shapiro joined Josh Elliott to discuss all that and the future of Roe v. Wade.
Supreme Court nominee fight
Judge Neil Gorsuch will be on Capitol Hill Wednesday, meeting senators who will decide his nomination. Gorsuch will need to get past Senate Democrats who are still furious that Republicans blocked Judge Merrick Garland's Supreme Court nomination for 293 days. Nancy Cordes reports.
