STUART VARNEY (CO-HOST): I want to know, how do the markets react if and when he finally gets confirmed? Let's take it one way or another. Professor Brenberg, OK, suppose he is -- if there's a vote Saturday and he's confirmed, what does the market do?

BRIAN BRENBERG (BUSINESS PROFESSOR, KING'S COLLEGE): Markets have been expecting that, I don't think you see much except for a sigh of relief, and let's move on. I think they've been baking this in, that's why you haven't seen the reactions throughout the process. 

VARNEY: What happens if he is not confirmed? Doesn't get the votes? 

BRENBERG: That's where markets get nervous, because it means political intimidation is winning the day. The rule of law is out the window. Guess what markets depend on? The rule of law. I think they get nervous about that because that spells consequences not just for Supreme Court, but any other policy the left doesn't like. That's going to give markets a little bit of something to think about here.
