Cspan, your unfiltered view of government. Susan historian james banner, you have been involved in editing a story of the american presidency through a single lens, president ial misconduct. What is the value of that . James i think it is narrow, it is circumscribed and it remains useful. Our situation now is a critical one.

I think we are lucky and unlucky enough to be among those americans who get to be alive making decisions when the country reaches a fork in the road. Thanis about a lot more who is the president today. Although lord knows, were going to need a new president. [ap

Custody and any person with that child could not be held in custody more than 20 days. This is under the Obama Administration and at the time, you have families going through dockets seeking asylum being held 45 days, sometimes 90 days. The issue at hand was you cannot just indefinitely detain a family. Now what we have is any family weather they present at a port and does not have documents or illegally crosses and says i have a credible fear of returning will be taken into cu
