Department of justice and pj legal media editor. chris, good to see you, why sign it into law only to say, like, literally at the same time, this is all about abudi levy. >> once upon a time, megyn, when congress passed a bill and the president signed it into law, it was treated like a law, not a suggestion like president obama did with this. this bill was sponsored by senator cruise with bipartisan support from schumer and passed congress 535-0. this is a president who talked a big talk during ...

Her, did this begin and end with you or were you getting strucks, whether from higher up in the irs, people in the treasury department, the white house, or, as we have seen, a lot of pressure from some democratic senators, like durbin and live victim and -- levin and schumer who said you need to investigate these groups. >> we polled on benghazi, do you belief the obama administration is being open and transparent? 61% say theyre trying to cover something up. another poll, we asked whether or no...

The bill which meant that it couldnt pass with just democratic votes. some republicans were going to have to cross the aisle to vote for it, or there would be international economic armageddon. but they were so embarrassed about doing it, they so did not want to be seen casting those votes that the republicans did something that has maybe never happened before in congress, at least as far as we can tell. you can tell from this tape, this is the way it usually goes when the senate is voting on so...

Any other president. but you could actually have the law start in 2017 without doing much violence to it. sfoo what chuck talks about delaying it, i think some republicans would be interested in that if we put in place the enforcement measure so that it would work. >> so is there a compromise afoot on immigration? well, speaker boehners office today already called schumers proposal impractical. but does the republican party theyd to do something about imgri immigration for its own future? reince...

Tucker? thank you, clayton. well, first it was the irs targeting tea party groups, now one democratic senator wants more of a crackdown on conservative critics of president obama. hes telling the irs to be more aggressive. watch this. >> obviously, the tea party elite gained extraordinary inflins by funneling millions of dollars in unclosed campaigns and to attack government. we are not going to have a broad discussion of this issue here as i mentioned. and it is clear we are not going to pass...
