We have seen very positive signs with theminal Justice Senate to reform a system where we are spending 80 billion a year. We do not have to agree on everything to find common ground. That has been the president s approach. I think that is what he did as a senator and what yes done both domestically and internationally since he has been the president of the United States.

Mr. Huges do you think there is more excitement now about prospects in space than at any point . People arelly starting to think that this will affect them. ,n some of our lifetimes instead of taking a flight to new york or london, that or seven takes 6. 5 hours, maybe some of us will take that flight and how fast we can do it in the space shuttle, that is 40 minutes.

Nixon, a historic decision in which a Unanimous Court said the president had to comply with a grand jury subpoena, youve questioned the correctness of morris v. Olsen holding that congress can create an independent counsel with the authority to investigate the president who the president cant just fire on a whim, youve questioned whether a president and his aides should be subject to any civil or criminal investigations while in office, and given these positions about president ial power, which i view as being at one extreme of the record of circuit judges, we have to confront an uncomfortable but important question about whether President Trump may have selected you, judge kavanaugh, with an eye towards protecting himself.
