Congressional record, after it was determined that there was this precedent set in 1984 that said that you couldnt say that something was racist. now, thats likely to fail, so its likely those remarks will remain in the congressional record, obviously, because democrats control the house, but youre also going to see another vote unfold right afterward, because essentially what this motion and this ruling from the parliamentarian means is that the person who has made these remarks is banned from ...

That we dont have this precedent set of exactly what youre saying, beth, of this moment being made more partisan than it should be. >> admiral, thank you for joining us. beth, noah and heather are staying around. ahead, we are heading into a critical few days of campaigning for the 2020 democrats. weve got more new polls coming out after that debate. the race has definitely had a big shake-up. we head to the big board, next. t -keep it down there. i have a system. -keith used to be great to road...

Getting criticism not only from democrats but also from republicans. and i think thats because theres something at stake here, which is that president trump will not be president forever. and, you know, republicans dont want a precedent set where then democratic presidents go overseas and start to belittle republican political figures. but of course american politics is in such a fractious time that, you know, beyond a few sort of back bench republican members of congress, we dont see real senio...

Out there. >> you said today that as president, you will appoint judges who unequivocally recognize the precedent set by roe v. wade, and a cabinet, a cabinet thats entirely pro-choice. what, for example, what difference would it make if the secretary of housing and urban development is pro-choice? >> well, i think its about folks who have progressive values and we did a whole bunch of things to work with, for instance, the department of health and human services on the link between health care ...

That doesnt care, leadership at the agency thats not committed to the mission or at least not committed enough to even try to understand it. so, you know, we cant change this administration out soon enough when it comes to meeting the housing needs of americans out there. >> you said today that as president, you will appoint judges who unequivocally recognize the precedent set by roe v. wade, and a cabinet, a cabinet thats entirely pro-choice. what, for example, what difference would it make if ...

States. im including jefferson davis in that, like -- but this suit, this is the way that you put donald trump under oath, talking about his sexual misconduct. if he lies, he ends up exactly where bill clinton ended up. and people forget, bill clinton was smart. donald trump forgets the subject before he gets to the predicate. i know republicans dont like me to remind them of bill clinton, but this is what bill clinton got impeached for. getting cute under oath about sexual misconduct. and now a...

Vision on border security. he said republicans need to realize that this will lead inevitably to regret when a democrat once again controls the white house. the precedent set by trump and declares his or her own national emergency to advance a policy that couldnt gain congressional approval. your thoughts on that, congressman? >> i disagree with my senator from my own state. i can tell you that those arguments that he is putting forth, there is only one problem with it. it is in statute right no...

Potentially from these filings, whatever is coming in the next couple weeks, what is it going to take? what would it take do you think to see a shift in how republicans are publicly approaching this president? >> it would have to be something of a bohm shell, with respect to mr. schiff, he says you speak to me in private and you say how disturbed you are, but you dont talk about in public. frankly, that doesnt correspond with my reading of events. this president was subject to quite a bit of cri...

Your democratic colleague tweeting if the story is true president trump must resign or be impeached. you taught constitutional law. if the president did tell michael cohen to lie to congress, is that an impeachable offense in. >> bill clinton was impeached about over the matter of telling one lie. that lie related to a private sexual affair. this is a pattern of perjury before congress on a matter of national security importance. so clearly if we follow the precedent set by the republicans durin...
