Steve Israel on Garland Battle: This Is Just a Matter of Common Sense

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "Joining us now, congressman Steve Israel of New York, chairman of the house policy and communications committee. Welcome back. How are you?"
ISRAEL: " I'm doing well, thank you."
BRZEZINSKI: "What do you make of the Garland bat until you think there will be one?"
ISRAEL: "This is a matter of common sense. This is where Republicans are so out of touch with the American people. The American people are paying senators to do a job. They expect their senators to have a coirmation hearing, they expect their senators to debate and respect the constitution and they expect their senators to vote yes or vote no but vote. And when you have Republicans who say we won't even open the door, that is why the American people have lost faith in."
