feel they are at a disadvantage on this court. absolutely. because in the last year it was expected people who watch the court like me, a lot of people weren t even aware that the senate or congress could even pull this off, delay the vote. so it was a surprise that wh whenmakwhen merrick garland never had the opportunity. now given that we have a congress that s likely to confirm just about anybody that is nominated it, carefully, that is, that we can be certain that the balance of the court is going to change. keep in mind that justice kennedy was appointed by a republican. so the fact that he was considered the swing vote is interesting because it shows that he wasn t in lockstep with everything the republican party wanted. the thing that the president is probably the most fearful of, ironically, now is loyalty. there s a verb that s thrown around disparagingly. you don t want to get suitored.
talked about the 63-year-old man who learn today read and read from the constitution but he was nervous and that she really lived her faith, she wanted to help others and never spoke disparagingly about anybody else. it might feel old fashion but it actually is, part of the living faith that she walked and that she expected from her children. shepard: it s not as if there was a side eye like today s that s true. there certainly was. something you lived in fear of. interesting about her i don t think she was afraid at the end. there s no evidence that she was and i sense, they always say that every funeral is a commemoration of a life, i think that was true in this case in particular. she lived so long, lived so well, so beloved and tended on her own terms. i worry and i think we all do
let s talk about the legal aspect of this. why could this be potentially problematic legally for the president? you have to see the whole pattern, which is that they are looking a of the the actions that michael cohen took to silence and to arrange payments to a particular group of people, a particular pair of people. they are also looking at the actions that these media organizations took presumably to quiet these or other actions. so i think you can say that the investigation appears at least to be looking into actions taken to silence people or pay people to be silent rather than talking disparagingly about donald trump in the run up to and maybe before that of the election. so that can be, you know, can cross legal lines in any number
yet to make an official visit to the united kingdom and has had an up and down relationship although guarded from both sides with theresa may. so tomorrow, the president will bring his america first message, but senior officials who are a part of the delegation here, an unusually high number are on this trip. they say america first is not america alone, but the president has some relationships to repair here. during his visit, he will meet with the head of the african union after his much talked about and controversial remarks as reported by senator durbin and others in a private meeting where he spoke disparagingly. the president has to try and sell american business and what is a good economy now. that s the main focus of this trip. and it comes at a time when the president is not the most popular figure here, but he is the u.s. president. that always carries weight.
don t deal with that kind of petty nonsense. welcome back. as we have been talking about, secretary tillerson calling president trump, a quote, moron, raises the question whether the secretary can keep his job after public learns he may have spoken disparagingly about the commander in chief. this is not the first time his discontent has been reported. politico reported tillerson blew up at a top white house aide, frustrated about delays in appointing staff. days later, they reported he argued with steven miller over immigration reports. in july, cnn reported two of their sources said they would not be surprised if there was a, quote, rexit from foggy bottom. state department has pushed back on all of this, but today s reporting didn t come on a silo. he said he would continue to serve, but in recent history, leaders have left their jobs over snide words about an
