10:15 pm
in office. today -- the president took an unexpected trip to dover air force base in delaware.. for the return of the remains of a navy seal killed in yemen. this is video of president trump and his daughter ivanka taking off this morning from washington. chief petty officer william "ryan" owens died of wounds suffered during a weekend raid against al qaeda. the 36-year-old was the only u-s service member to die in the operation. and also today: president trump officially has a new secretary of state. the u.s. senate approved former exxon- mobil c-e-o rex tillerson. now, secretary tillerson, was cleared with a vote of 56- to - 43... with all republicans in support .. and most democrats voting against him. also today: supreme court nominee neil gorsuch -- making his first trip to capitol hill today president trump's choice to replace justice antonin scalia is stepping into a highly charged partisan battle. .... it could end with republican leaders
10:16 pm
tearing up the senate rulebook and invoking what's known as the nuclear option. that refers to blowing up one of the senate's longest standing traditions ... abandoning the 60=vote super=majority needed to confirm nominations in the past. president trump told senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, if that's what it takes to put neil gorsuch on the supreme court, go for it. "if we end up with the same gridlock that they've had in washington for the last, longer than 8 years in all fairness to president obama, a lot longer than 8 years but if we end up with that gridlock i would say, if you can, mitch, go nuclear. "senator mcconnell gave no hint of his intentions as he posed with neil gorsuch and vice president pence.a planned meeting with minority leader chuck schumer was postponed, after schumer said he needed more time to go over the nominee's record. "we in the senate have a constitutional duty to examine his record robustly,
10:17 pm
exhaustively and comprehensivel y. and then advise and consent if we see fit. we have a responsibility to reject if we do not."democrats are still smarting over mcconnell's block of barack obama's court nominee merrick garland, activists like filmmaker michael moore are pressuring them to filibuster against the nomination.under current rules. stopping a filibuster requires 60 votes.to avoid a permanent rule change .... the nuclear option ... majority leader mcconnell will need to persuade eight democrats to cross the aisle.some are ready to do that, if you want the third branch of government to work, then you've got to have a nine-member supreme court. so if republicans did something, and now democrats are going to do something, two wrongs don't make a right.some digging in.: "if i conclude that he is out of the mainstream on issues like privacy rights and women's health care like row v. wade or worker or consumer protection, i will use every tool at my disposal to block his nomination."
10:18 pm
by some accounts, as many as seven democratic senators have signalled their support for neil gorsuch. the first committee hearing is scheduled for six weeks from now. republicans are hoping for confirmation before the supreme court's june recess. the integrity of evidence ... that's what took center stage in the sierra lamar murder trial today. the 15-year-old teen vanished on her way to school in morgan hill back in 2012... but lawyers for the suspect antolin - garcia torres... have questioned whether there is really any proof sierra lamar is dead. kron4's rob fladeboe was in court for day- three of the trial. áááááá
