Place to criticize him when you talk about the gassing and the chemical attacks on as you said on young children. it would be hard not to criticize him at this point. kasie, we had senator tim kane on and his concerns over syria that it should go through congress. this shouldnt be unilateral action coming out of the oval office. there should be renewed mission for military force and go through the way wars used to be prosecuted which was to be approved by congress before they took place. does th...

Sessions, he could put in an attorney general that he wants. its a political thing, he runs the executive branch. its the same question on firing mueller when the white house says, can the president fire mueller. he runs the executive branch, he can do whatever he wants. he can ask comey to end an investigation. these things may be politically problematic, but on the legal side, a lot of folks say if it went to the courts, the courts would support him and say he can do whatever he wants within h...
