Any russian oligarchs . Thats what he said. Thats what i said. Thats obviously what our position is. Thats what the position is. With me now, jeff bennett covers the white house with us here at msnbc. Jill. Locklin and jay. Jeff, let me start with you and this moment, this reversal, just a few weeks ago, you had President Trump praising Paul Manafort after the decision in that first trial in the Eastern District of virginia. This is, indeed a reversal of fate for Paul Manafort. It certainly is, david. We have yet to hear from President Trump directly about what he thinks of all of this. Remember how quickly President Trump called on Michael Cohen, his longtime attorney and friend after cohen struck that deal with prosecutors in the Southern District of new york. Turned on a dime on Michael Cohen. Well have to see what he says, if anything, about Paul Manafort. Weve seen how the white house and the president s outside legal team have tried to minimize the manafort mess. Both sides putti
The progressive wing of the judging world and of legal thought. They are absolutely highly qualified, good, decent people. And they got see if i can find the vote totals, miss kagan got 63 votes and sotomayor got 68. It is going to bother me that you dont get those numbers but what bothers me they should have gotten 90, 95. Anthony kennedy got 97. Anthony scalia got 98. Ruth Bader Ginsburg got 96. So whats happened . Between then and now, advise and consent has taken on a different meaning. It used to be the understanding of this body that elections have consequences and you would expect the president who won the election to pick somebody of their philosophy. I promise you when Strom Thurmond voted for ginsburg he didnt agree with her philosophy and i dont think senator lee agreed with justice scale leah. Senator lee has voted for a lot of republicans. I have voted for everyone presented since ive been here because i find them to be highly qualified coming from backgrounds i would expe
House, two thirds of the senate, three fourths of the state s. That a pretty correct legal able sis . When the Supreme Court issued a constitutional ruling then you can only change it by constitutional amendment. Heres the point. Whether you agree or not, the reason some legal scholars object is breathtakingly unlimited. Whatever five people believe at any given time in history in terms of the word liberty they can rewrite our history and come up with a new history. Now, i think the best way for democracies to make history is to have the courts interpret the constitution, be a check and balance on us, but not take one word and create a concept that is breath taking in terms of its application to restrict the legislative process. Now, whether you agree with me or not, i think theres a genuine debate. And you would agree with me if it was something you liked or you were supporting that got shut out.

Policy of the white house. The president talking about the oped writer at the billings, montana rally last night. Our jim acosta was there. Reporter President Trump weighed in on the oped in the New York Times reportedly from the senior official. Saying that is part of the resistance. During the rally in front of supporters, the president said he did not know who it was, but reporters at the New York Times should investigate who the writer of the oped is. Here is what he said. Unelected deep state operatives who defy the voters to push their secret agendas are truly a threat to democracy itself. And i was so heartened when i look. Seriously, people that dont exactly dig us and dont exactly like me, theyre fighting for us. It is a beautiful thing. Reporter the process of impeachment appears to be on the president s mind. The democrats are talking to congress and looking to impeach him in january. Dave and christine. Jim acosta, thank you. Russia threatening the u. S. And a shift for the
Well ask a key member of the Senate Judiciary committee, republican john kennedy. Chairman Paul Manafort strikes a plea deal to cooperate with special counsel robert mueller. Tough day for mr.

As devastating as florence has been so far, the worst may be yet to come. The slow moving storm is now responsible for at least 14 deaths.

In a moment, well discuss the threat and response with fema administrator brock long and North Carolina senate thom tillis. But first, we have fox team coverage.
