To be tweeting about it around the clock. just your thoughts from watching this court. have you ever seen a dynamic like that shape up? >> well, we saw justice gorsuch on the court involved in some of these privileged cases involving the presidential powers. remember, in the 1970s when the supreme court said president nixon was not immune from a subpoena for the white house tapes, william renquist did sit the case out. but other members of the court did vote on that case. i wouldnt think that an...

The foreign relations committee today passed a number of other resolutions that were directly about russian attempts to strong arm neighbors, to use their oil to basically hold european nations hostage. were taking a lot of actions to check russian bad behavior. and if were going to do that, we have to make clear that the nato alliance will stay strong regardless of what this president thinks about it. >> that bipartisan dynamic youre describing, does that factor at all into the way youre thinki...

Now, the house is casting its impeachment actions basically along the same lines, saying theyre moving with speed, theyre moving because they need to defend the country, they need congress to move to act to defend the country from what the president is trying to do next in this context, too. >> the presidents misconduct goes to the heart of whether we can conduct a free and fair election in 2020. it is bad enough for a candidate to invite foreign interference in our political process, but it is ...
