this is not the verdict. this is a note from the jury to the judge. the judge says back to the jury and go back and deliberate some more. possibly they come to something, but human nature being what s, if they re deadlocked they re probably likely to remain deadlocks which brings an uncertain future. left week, new jersey picked a new governor and it was a democrat phil murphy. the appointment power and say that menendez, this is down the line, and there was a new trial and he wound up being convicted, a democrat would almost certainly be governor and be in a position to appointment another democrat. so some of that senate math, i think, will not be in play in a way that maybe six months ago we thought it might be no matter what the jury finds effectively. stand by for me. chris, thank you. i have jessica schneider here on more of these details again, and
when the president has been trying desperately to get the 51 votes for some of these big pieces of legislation, the ones he s been courting, the ones he s been losing has been john mccain, susan collins, lisa murkowski. now add bob corker to the people he can no longer count on, who are free agents. bob cork eras chairman of the foreign relations committee has a lot to do with the appointment power and the if there is a new secretary of state, if rex tillerson is put out, he has a lot to do with the iran nuclear deal if the president later this week dessert identifies it as we are told he s going to do. and he is a deficit hawk going way back and he can be very important. just next week when the senate is scheduled to take up a budget vote that is critical to their tax cut plan. kimberly, i have described
right result that was clearly overreaching, but it hides a much more fundamental problem here, which i think is the obama administration s overreaching on a whole variety of areaing, not just on recess appointments. yeah, i think you re right about that. and this is another blow to the president and his ability in trying to just overreach on a number of different issues. we re seeing it here as well. ambassador bolton, thanks so much. thank you. glad to be with you. well, the president had a tough week. in addition to the supreme court ruling striking down his appointment power, mr. obama faced another challenge when house speaker john boehner challenged a lawsuit over his executive actions. what we ve seen, clearly over the last five years, is an effort to erode the power of the legislative branch. standing up and fighting for this is in the best long-term interest of the congress. so, will anything come out of this lawsuit? that s the question. and with me, florida congress
