The sides about the president s mental fitness. here s a couple of them. i want to congratulate the wall street journal for cracking the cold case that biden is old. i mean, breaking news. i am sort of actually embarrassed for the wall street journal with this piece. this piece is so tilted, so off the mark. is he 81 years old? yes. is he a bit slower in terms of his reactions to some things? probably. my response to the piece when i read it was now do donald trump. requirement not about age, it s about the capacity, the energy, the mental focus. the energy that is required to deliver. and our adversaries are sensing this as well. i think that s why you see vladimir putin testing us. you see hamas now continuing to hold on to hostages in the face of america trying to restrain israel.
In the country yet deeply uneasy about encroaching of those on his own cherished bride, end quote. i want to be clear about this especially as so many more cases head to the supreme court. faced with serious ethical questions alito has not responded seriously. his letter is angry, contentious, full of spin more familiar to politicians than impartial judges. there is no legal requirement he recused, and there s no requirement that he write lawmakers back. by refusing to recuse but rushing to release this type of letter he shows his priorities including this apparent political sarcasm and political partisan posturing that appears to be designed specifically to inflame and disrespect, to use a word beneath the level of the supreme court, disciped to troll like so many internet disputes. these are the words and actions of an unserious jurist and example for judges to avoid. do not act like this. do not respond to fair and

One would have to interrupt the mission to get the right lighting, to make sure you re over, the right satellite is in position. and then now you have an army of people on the ground. we have to reorient the shuttle for the proper exposure angles and all that. and to do that means they may have to terminate their science experiments. in a program manager s mind, that s responsible for getting shuttles up there on schedule, if you interrupt the science mission, you have the ire of all the people and the science objectives were now ruined. and that looks badly on nasa. -a little bit later in the day, in the afternoon, i got a call from linda, and she said, hey, i heard that you were trying to get some better pictures. and she said that she had talked to all the appropriate managers and no one had a requirement for any more information. they had what they needed to do the analysis.
Two-thirds requirement, but look what happened in the jury, 12 people drawn without any political or partisan implications to their appointment. they were just citizens and they studied the facts, scrutinized the witnesses and came back with a verdict that vindicated common sense. you got to put your faith in the people. it doesn t mean it s failsafe. it doesn t always work, but the people here have done their job. the jury did their job and that judge did an excellent job of clarifying every step of the process. in terms of faith in people, there are nine people the country doesn t have a lot of faith in right now at the united states supreme court. we are awaiting their ruling among other things as the case as to whether or not presidents are immune from prosecution. aside from the question of
