Franken on why he's voting 'no' on Gorsuch
Twenty-nine Senate Democrats say they support a filibuster to block the Senate from confirming Judge Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Minnesota Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken are both in favor of a filibuster but Democrats are still shy of the 41 votes they need to sustain such a filibuster.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Franken to discuss the move. They also talked about legislation he and Klobuchar introduced Wednesday that aims to lower prescription drug costs.
