Jackson speaking at the Council for Democracy at Carnegie Hall in New York City, Nov. 6, 1940. AP photo Horace Greeley is the only person with Chautauqua County roots ever to run for president of the United States. His family lived in Clymer, or more succinctly, Wayne Township, Pa., on a road south of Clymer that delineates New York from Pennsylvania — the state line road.

By Julie Borowski July 05, 2012 “The shocking verdict to uphold the entire ObamaCare law is one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in recent history. Chief Justice John Roberts joined Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor in the majority opinion stating that the individual mandate requiring all Americans to purchase health insurance is not valid under the Commerce Clause but it can survive as a tax. This ruling officially turns ObamaCare into the largest tax hike in American history and sets a dangerous precedent of virtually unlimited federal power.” Read The Entire Article Here: July 05, 2012 “A big reason for all the hypocrisies and paradoxes is that the 2,409-page health care act is a mess. Even its creators cannot agree whether it involves a mandate, tax or penalty. The public doesn’t like or want it — at least the parts it must soon pay for. It was passed only on a strictly partisan vote and under shady means (remember the “Cornhusker Kickback”).
gotten sorted out by ideology as well as party. it used to be you had a lot of liberal republicans in the northeast and conservative democrats in the south and so the partisan divide was one divide but geography was another and ideology was another. now it's become hardened and sort of a triple reinforced wall of the partisanship where you have a southern dominated republican party that is all conservative, a liberal democratic party and all of the incentives, all of your peer group pushes you in one direction. there remain a small number of people who in certain circumstances will defy them but it's really hard and it's really rare and the fact that chris and jeff flake can do that shows it exists. >> we have more on that buddy, buddy relationship. senator flake talked about his long relationship with chris coons and a trip to africa where
confirmation was controversial. you haven't seen anything yet. we need to strap on our seat belts and get ready. i think in the end the president will get his choice confirmed but there is a long way to go before we get there. >> sandra: give us an idea what sort of hurdles does the nominee face? >> the hurdles are this. right now the republican majority in the senate is essentially one vote depending on what happens with senator mccain. given that there is really no margin for error. we've already seen both republicans and democrats targeting potential senators who could go either way. conservative democrats, liberal republicans. i think the confirmation hearings will take on increased importance. you'll see a lot of questions of roe versus wade and respecting precedent. a code word for what they will do with roe versus wade. as i said there is a long way to go. the confirmation hearing will be fascinating television and i can hardly wait to see it. >> leland: amy coney barrett
>> we are enjoying it very much. >> how about barron trump and school? >> he loves it here. >> are you missing in new york? >> i'm so busy. doing many great stuff. it's very special to me. >> sean: despite all these distractions from the left, the president has laid out a bold, aggressive agenda for the country. this is what you, the american people voted for that the media enforced and that the deep state does not want to see accomplished. it's time for republicans to get back to work. here's what needs to be done if republicans want to be successful and earn your vote in 2018. they've got to continue to work towards passing in a perfect plan to repeal and replace obamacare. it's gotta get done. it's a good first start. i placed the blame squarely on the shoulders, 100 liberal republicans in the house. they never, ever intended to relieve repeal and replace
i'm making a statement against russian aggression. >> this is not funny. this is really bad. just for the record, we are all really nervous. >> sean: with all these emotional breakdowns, all this anger towards the president, i am actually getting worried about mika and liberal joe. america's favorite couple that nobody watches, they are starting out their lives together and i want them to be successful. i even tweeted out congratulations on their engagement. it seems the stress of the trump presidency is really beginning to drag them down and i am beginning to seem way too many emotional breakdowns every day. i even heard a rumor that they've been very distraught and that they weren't even able to see president trump look alike get killed during the shakespeare in the park with their blinking and there picnic in the basket and their champagne and their caviar. if you're watching tonight, i want you to know, i am willing
as the russian stuff collapses, mueller will shift to other topics. supposedly, he was appointed precisely to go after the russian question. what we are going to discover is oh, no, they are now going to go after other people. >> sean: they already are. >> i hope the house and senate judiciary committees are going to ask mueller to come in and explain who he is hiring. why he is hiring professional democrats. why he is hiring headhunters. they don't have to get into the details of the investigation, just who he is hiring. >> sean: we have to go, mr. speaker. i want to say one last thing. number one, "new york times." congratulation. you deserve it. the book is phenomenal. amazon.com. hannity.com. more reactions to the president's tweet about the alleged comey tweets. genius. and later, liberal morning joe
miguel estrada, merrick garland the most recent of the point is at what point does this all end and when do we get back to where we were when ruth bader ginsburg got 96 votes. kennedy got 97 votes? >> i don't think we get back there for a while, quite frankly. i think most democrats are calculating that if they don't trigger or force mitch mcconnell to trigger the option this time, it will surely happen next time with the next nomination that will change the ideological ballot court and will also disappoint the democratic base, so i think they are going to stick to their guns. i think the republicans are going to stick to their guns. it's a different place now. the senate used to be a place where there were a bunch of liberal republicans, bunch of
champion for the principles we hold dear. >> in 2013 he formally made the switch to the democratic party but didn't seek re-election. >> you've been a republican and an independent, a democrat. when did you first notice that you were a democrat? >> wells it's been an evolution, as you said. and certainly seeing the republican party have less room for us liberal republicans that care about balancing the books and letting people live their lives as they see fit. that's really when i started to think this isn't my party anymore. >> what do you think about the theory of american exceptionalism? >> it's good to feel strong about your country. of course we all feel that way. but we also have to be good listeners. we told the world there were weapons of mass destruction in iraq. and there weren't. that's a huge mistake. and we have to repair it. it can be repaired. there's no doubt. >> when you see something like isis, how would a president chafee deal with that? >> the lessons of the cold war worked. and that's containment.
co-sponsoring that bill republican congressman charlie depth of pennsylvania and joining us now is republican congressman charlie depth of pennsylvania. congressman, really appreciate you taking a few minutes to join us tonight. let me start with the bottom line question. the bill that you have your name on, we talked about the margins back in 2006 when it was 390-33 in the house to reauthorize it. if the bill with your name on it right now came to the floor and not a vote would it pass? >> absolutely. and, steve, thanks for having me on the show. i absolutely believe that the sensenbrenner bill that would reauthorize the voting rights act that changes the formula would pass overwhelmingly and strong republican support. true only six republican co-sponsors. >> so what is the holdup here? i look back. we say this used to be such a bipartisan issue and reamly when you look back at the voting rights debate back in the '60s it wasn't just modal liberal republicans but some of the most conservative republicans in
