Favor of even allowing debate on the legislation. Put another way, all 50 republican senators voted no. While states are back home working hard to suppress the vote or certain votes, should we say, theres not a republican in the senate who wants to even allow a debate on this topic. An angry Majority Leader spoke moments after the vote was announced. Senate republicans have signed their names in the ledger of history alongside donald trump, the big lie, and Voter Suppression.

In an unusual move, Vice President harris presided over the senate during tonights vote. Afterwards, she vowed democrats will continue pushing for federal Voting

The 75th anniversary of the cold war. With me today is dr. William hitchcock, the professor of history at the university of virginia. Dr. Hitchcock is the author of several books on the cold war, most recently the age of Eisenhower America and the world in the 1950s. Published in 2018 by simon and schuster. Will, welcome and ask for joining us. William thank you, good to be with you. Looking forward to a conversation. Sean lets get to it. In surveying the 45 years of the cold war and its impact, one could argue that it fundamentally changed the constitutional framework of the American Government, that it was this period that saw the greater concentration of power in the president at the expense of the congress, that more than ever in our history because of the challenges of the cold war our National Course is now set by the personality of the president. Would you agree with that . William well, yes, i would agree with that. And i think its been characteristic of the presidency over the

Is said to be more than just a single market, but a union of values including rule of law, freedom of democracy, a respect for human rights. Poland signed up to those values when it voted to join the bloc, back in 2004. But now youre willing to veto the budget over an accountability, mechanism. So you sign up to the values when you join the e. U. , but you dont want to be accountable for breaching the well, thats exactly what youre sad. First of all, the church is illegitimate. So the use of low lito has been used or has appeared to be you just admitted it comes before there is nothing extraordinary in the fact that this or that plea government is not going to be happy with the solution that is.
