Bounty, that person would not have standing or injury, because there is no real interest in bounty hunters and someone elses medical treatment. the problem right now is that unless someone tries to enforce it, there is nothing for the doj to stop. there something called the all writ act going back to 1879 that the doj could say that we need the courts to enforce the constitution itself, but there is some creative lawyering that i expect to come out in this filing today. >> and melanie, paint a p...

Por ahí no AUNQUE a estas alturas de desarrollo constitucional y autonómico pudiera parecer innecesario, habrá que seguir aclarando cosas para el buen funcionamiento de Estado de las Autonomías. La primera de todas, y hasta me da un poco de vergüenza pensar que sea necesario recordarlo, es que se trata de un proyecto común a todos, es decir, un Estado, uno sólo, que se articula sobre la base, entre otras, pero esta principal entre todas, del reconocimiento del derecho al autogobierno d...

>> well, i think its a very strong case because the issue in impeachment is not was a crime committed. the issue is was there an abuse of power. i mean, if you look at the history, the federalist papers, the constitution itself, what the framers were concerned about is misuse of the power of the presidency. and if you read these 300 pages, what you see is there is absolutely no doubt that the president used his power of the president, his power to hold an oval office meeting, his power to withho...

Of power. i mean, if you look at the history, the federalist papers, the constitution itself, what the framers were concerned about is misuse of the power of the presidency, and if you read these 300 pages, what you see is there is absolutely no doubt that the president used his power of the president, his power to hold an oval office meeting, his power to withhold $390 million in aid in return for something that did no good for the country but was only for his political benefit. that is abuse o...

President. on the one hand theyre saying a president cant be indicted and tried but now theyre also saying he cant be impeached because we dont like the process. the constitution says the house has the sole power of impeachment, period. it doesnt say anything about witnesses or how its supposed to work and later on it says the senate should try impeachment. if the president is the one being impeached the chief justice is the chief judge of the impeachment trial in the senate. and by the way, imp...

On this ukraine call because you need a high crime or misdemeanor. you need extortion, bribery, treason, and you dont have it. and asking for an investigation is not asking for a thing of value. jim baker? >> well, it doesnt have to be a crime as defined by congress in a particular statute like in the campaign election law that i think he was referring to. thats just not whats at issue here. this is an issue that sounds in -- what i mean is it comes from the constitution itself, and so its congr...

Were back now with garrett graff, jim baker, and susan glasser. lets do a little bit about the state of play given all this new information. so, jim baker, i had robert ray, redoubtable legal mind. he says high bar for impeachment. we should all agree about that. the idea that the democrats want to vote next month, i think thats suspect. but he said, you dont have it on this ukraine call because you need a high crime or misdemeanor. you need extortion, bribery, treason, and you dont have it. and...

Hes trying to conform with what the court said. mike, you know what this is about, in the constitution itself, the reason that you take a census is not to find out how many toilets or stoves or refrigerators or tvs or cell phones you have. its to apportion the voters for congressional districts. thats what the census is wall about. then it would be transported to the states for legislative districts. if youre counting illegal aliens who are in this country, people who cannot vote, because theyre...

It? >> he has ordered doj to find a way to include it but you know what this is about, it in the constitution itself, the reason you take a census is not to find out how many toilets or stoves or refrigerators or tvs or cell phones you have but to apportion voters for congressional districts, that is what the census is all about. if you are counting illegal aliens who are in this county, people who cannot vote because they are here illegally you are watering down the votes of people who are here...

Money or just making money in case he lost? >> i dont thing he expected to been with. he started to run for president six times. there was an article that said he work withes 22 hours a day and that was floated jrntly out to see. i think they were as surprised as hillary clinton that he won. >> thank you. good luck in this race. you can only cause trouble, which is good for everybody. >> thats it good. >> anyway, todays democratic argument between capitalism and socialism, thats coming up 347. ....
