Summary
The vote for Brett Kavanaugh is happening this weekend. Will Democrats hold strong? Heidi Heitkamp might have sun her re-election by announcing that she's a NO vote on Kavanaugh, but it's the right thing to do. Good for her. Don't count on Jeff Flake to do the right thing.
We talk to Scott Wong and Niall Stanage from The Hill, David McCuan, Chair of Political Science at Sonoma State University and political commentator for KTVU-TV, Oakland, and Vann Newkirk III from The Atlantic.
