we ll show you the ballots on the senate floor after the brutal silencing laugh night of senator elizabeth warren. the decision s by the judges of the ninth circuit which may come later this week could test the limitations of presidential authority and expected to be ultimately be appealed to the united states supreme court. today president trump defended his authority and attacked the judges who will render that decision as well as the court system, itself. i listen to lawyers on both sides last night, and they were talks about things that had just nothing to do with it. i listened to a panel of judges and i ll comment on that i will not comment on the statements made by certainly one judge, but vi have to be honest that if these judges wanted to, in my opinion, help the court in terms of respect for the court, they d do what they should be doing. i mean, it s so sad. we haven t had a decision yet, strong point. so he invited the discussion by the court as to who has the ....

saying, oh, no, never mind that, you re fired. to be clear to the viewers, we don t have the reporting confirmed that you re sharing with us. but that s obviously something we re trying to get information, answers to the white house, the justice department not commenting specifically on this firing. but let s talk a little bit more about bharara, his role here in new york, and really when it comes to litigation on such a large scale that impacts the country. he was not necessarily in just a routine post. so he gets called in the southern district of new york, called the sovereign district of new york. because it s a huge orbit. rudy giuliani was there. comey from the fbi. bhrara is looking at the mayor of new york city, has this ongoing corruption probe. he s about to try two of andrew cuomo s closest confidantes. and looking at things international in scope. really big and interesting. in addition to the fox thing i mentioned, significantly. he has an investigation excu ....
