testimony, i think that is something courts have not dealt with, this claim that the vice president can be considered within this speech and debate clause is going to be a new issue. so when you say new issue, that immediately sets off district court, court of appeals, supreme court potentially reviewing this. that takes time, which as we know from the donald trump game plan is that throwing sand in gears is a way to sort of avoid accountability. let me jump in on the implication of what you re saying, and you can tell me whether it s right or wrong. sounds like you re suggesting rather than saying, it s a winning argument, they re saying, what s the argument that will take the longest? well, i also do think that this is not an argument where you i think legal experts say, oh, it s like executive privilege, there s no way it could win. i think where it s at its weakest is i don t think it s a way to block his testimony

Titanic, the
El Faro in Hurricane Joaquin, and the tragic fire aboard
The Conception off of the Santa Barbara coast what do these infamous maritime disasters have in common? All caused unprecedented losses. All could have been prevented.
All involved the invocation of a maritime law known as the Limitation of Liability Act.
Congress passed the Limitation of Liability Act (46 U.S. Code Chapter 305) in 1851 to promote and protect the maritime shipping industry. At the time, vessels and the goods or passengers they carried went missing in storms, were overrun by pirates, and were lost in other events that shipowners had no control over. The Limitation of Liability Act offered vessel owners much-needed protection from liability for ship and cargo losses as well as injuries or deaths at sea by limiting recoveries to the value of the craft. With this law, vessel owners could not be sued for more than the ship was worth.
