EXCERPT:
KENNEDY: “I expect most, if not all, of them to be confirmed. Why? Number one, the president's dug in like a tick. He wants these people. But number two, you've got to remember, these confirmation hearings matter. They matter. If -- if a nominee acts like a complete meathead or starts screaming like he or she's part of a prison riot, you know, people are going to say, 'Whoa, we need to take a second look.' But short of that, I think most, if not all, will be confirmed. The one who's most on the bubble, as you know as well as I do, is Tulsi Gabbard.”
