fight for climate change. it hasn t worked before. i am skeptical that it will work politically. stick with the left is showing it has become an issue of almost religious beliefs. you could shutdown every coal mine in america, the effect on the climate, on temperature, would be negligible. you couldn t measure it. if this is such a popular issue, a consensus issue, when the democrats at the white house when obama concluded, why didn t he go to the senate? we have a constitution. there s a reason why we have provisions because you want to treaty to have substance and permanence. you go to the senate, get a consensus in the country, expressed by a two-thirds majority rather than some executive agreement like i would say the iran deal which they knew would not have consensus. the kyoto agreement was voted down by 99-1. because people didn t want it, and i think if democrats are so attached to this and think this
various jobs councils and stuff so this sort of what s happened is the rumors that a decision was made and the subsequent follow-up saying, well, not quite, but this is how we re leaning is creating a real opportunity now for everyone who thinks it s important, whether it s for geopolitical reasons, business reasons, environmental reasons, to jump in and say, hey, not so fast. think about it before you do this. mary katherine, you re a skeptic of this deal. why should the u.s. pull out? i m as unalarmist pulling out as climate activists are about it. i m highly skeptical of the u.n. and the international community to actually make these things work. this is a non-binding agreement. there are not enforcement mechanisms in it, you know, and then there s the other part where it s politically binding but the problem is president obama did this via executive agreement, not through a treaty process. the reason he didn t do that it wouldn t have gotten through the senate and part of the
down some of the provisions as unconstitutional as they relate to american persons. people in the country lawfully and people that are permanent residents but i think they ll have difficulty striking down some of the provisions that apply to strangers. a family from yemen that s never been in the country that applies for the visa and american conciliate. there s no constitutional right to get a visa. it doesn t only talk about constitutional rights. congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion and a good lawyer and there will be good lawyers in this case can argue that this is a prohibition not only congress but on the president and here we have a law that establishes religion by preferring christianity over islam. now the executive agreement doesn t say that but obviously president trump made it clear that the statute is designed to
president obama in his first term, two supreme court nominees. my party was in the minority. no filibuster. what we re arguing here for is equivalency. they are having a very, very difficult time, jake, trying to come up with arguments against the judge. this is an outstanding nomination. you could argue the most outstanding judge in the current appellate court system. they are really struggling to figure out some basis upon which to oppose him. i want to ask you one quick question on foreign policy. on friday, paul ryan said the nuclear agreement conducted by president obama s administration with iran will probably stay in place. take a listen. a lot of that toothpaste is already out of the tube. i never supported the deal in the first place. i thought it was a huge mistake. do you agree with speaker ryan that basically this deal is going to stay in place? you know, it s an executive
administer it have so much discretion. is he now telling them how to exercise their discretion against the law and in favor of the people. ainsley: let s get to some other ones. mexico city policy. this is where we are going to be in funding for international groups that perform abortions. the federal government gives away a lot of the money to groups to most folk who pay money to the federal government that i have never heard of. if there is a foreign group that lobbies a foreign government to pay for abortions in a foreign country, republican presidents have banned it. democratic presidents have permitted it. this one keeps going back and forth. reagan banned it, the two bushes banned it clinton permitted it and obama moo permitted it and trump is banning it. ainsley: what about tpp. the president has the right to do that. tpp transpacific partnership was never ratified by the congress. it was just an executive agreement entered into between barack obama and the countries in the
