MSNBC on Supreme Court: What’s the ‘Best Road to Stopping the Pick?’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Hours before the announcement of Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick, MSNBC on Monday was already plotting to stop him (or her). The Beat's Ari Melber hosted a panel full of liberals and asked former Hillary Clinton 2016 operative Brian Fallon: “On the strategy here, what do you see as the best road to actually stopping the pick?” No subtlety there. Also on the panel: Liberal ex-state senator from Texas Wendy Davis, liberal ex-U.S. Senator Russ Feingold and Kristen Clarke of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Before playing a clip of Federalist Society Executive Vice President Leonard Leo, Melber derided Leo as a “shadow president.”
