barraging you with almost meaningless factoids that keep him from answering the question. take a listen to president trump on the plane, his version of a response or a nonresponse to this flynn issue, a serious question about our state craft and whether something was being done to undermine the u.s. government position towards russia. take a listen. i don t know about it. i haven t seen it. what report is that? before you weinaugurated before sanctions he said i can t hear you because it is on air force one. but the question was, this report, at that point, out 16 hours, now even longer, and the president s position is i don t keep track of the most serious allegations. this has shown us a few things. he s a boy king, right? so things are happening and he has no idea. two, he s already told us he doesn t like to read, doesn t believe in reading.
it is legal, no question about it. under the irs law. and under the constitution of the united states. i carry the constitution with me all the time. i remember in high school i used to think about this as watching paint dry on the wall. but this is an exciting document. i even have the cadol copy of it. and it is very clear about the emoluments cause. no person holding any office of profit or trust under them shall without consent of the congress accept any present or gift or office or title of any kind whatever for from any king, it is very clear. your point is the founders were concerned about foreign gifts and influence. and tax returns could either put the issue to rest if there is nothing to worry about or raise questions that congress should care about. should you get any republicans
spangler. she says, do i have standing to sue president trump because he s not looking out for me when he s dealing with his daughter s business interest? the answer is probably not. there are many ways to sue the president. to get that standing, people suing have to show the government s specifically harmed them. that requires a concrete and particularized injury. the rule basically is that. so that is what you need to show, most people can t sue the president for a policy they oppose. question two. from annie g. on twitter about the travel ban lawsuit. why did the ninth circuit judge issue a request for another vote? after those three judges on that circuit ruled against trump on friday, there was another judge on the larger court that suggested another hearing. but the way it works, we don t know which judge asked for it or why. now cases can get an extra hearing with the chief judge and ten other judges, like double-checking the court s work, and the court says a judge
darling, aide to rand paul. brian, you re new. i will rattle off a bunch of stuff, what is your sense of this evolving young administration, how they re dealing with some of the errors, some which are unforced. they haven t proven very good at ducking questions, i ll tell you that. with the flynn controversy it fascinating because he was thrown under the bus by chris christie today on cnn and to see other administration officials not jumping to general flynn s defense, that s a troubling sign for had him. and the possibility that he gave information to the vice president that was wrong, incorre incorrect, telling the vice president and the vice president telling america that flynn didn t talk about the sanctions, didn t talk with the russians about that. that is diplomatic. with kellyanne conway, it is a mountain out of a mole hill. i believe she probably was trying to be funny and tell a joke. there is a real question if she
independent. he said, i am independent. i said, show me. i asked him some very specific questions he should ans, not about existing cases. i said, if there was a law that said all muslims are banned from the united states, would that be unconstitutional? that has nothing to do with the case before him. or before us. before the court. he wouldn t answer. i asked him, what is his opinion of citizens united, an awful case, the shelby case, which undid voting rights? he wouldn t answer. bill politic question is whether president trump and leader mcconnell will go nuclear and end the filibuster to slam gorsuch through. a new article by two senate veterans, democrat and republican, arguing against that tack. one of those is bah with ck wit the show here. faz, because you re the new one, i ll have you start us out. what would be good about saving the filibuster here?
