Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J) said Sunday he is "more than confident" that future work toward police reform will continue despite failed recent negotiations.

Booker said on CBS's "Face The Nation" he would be willing to come back to the table in the future to negotiate the matter with other lawmakers like Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) who tried to help craft previous measures.

"Senator Scott and I actually are friends," Booker said. "I am more than confident, especially as I look at other Republicans there and other folks that deal with this, that we are going to find a way to keep working on this issue."

Booker said that he and his Republican colleagues came to an agreement about banning chokeholds by police but could not compromise on measures that would have provided "data transparency" to ensure "real consequences."

A political scientist once told me that when national healthcare failed in 1993, it was predicted then that it would take something like the 17 years it did for demand to build again to critical levels. Even though there was already severe need for it, because that was the pattern such big legislative changes follow.

He told me this at a gathering in 2010 while the ACA was being battled to final passage in congress. 17 years after public support for the Clinton Plan wavered and it was declared dead.
