Washington journal continues. Our sunday political roundtable with joe fuld and jim hobart. Good sunday morning. Thanks for being with us. Lets begin with the issue of impeachment and how this will potentially play out in 2020. Your view . Guest i think what you are seeing is that it is there are so many there are 40 of voters who have wanted to impeach the president since he took office. There are about 45 of voters who want the president to stay in office and who support him strongly. Then you see the 15 in the middle that are not paying all that much attention. My anticipation was that eventually you were going to see more or less nonapproval would run ahead of approval, with more voters saying they are opposed of impeaching and removing the president then approve of him. Guest we are in a divided country. We have people who have been for impeachment, folks against it is a very small group of people that are persuadable on these issues.

I am not going to guess what kind of approval is requested or required based on military action that hasnt in ordered. There has been a number of war power notifications that have been submitted as it relates to specific orders in iraq. The president is committed it this process and consultations but i am not say what
Lecture on president Lyndon Johnsons war on poverty. Next melvin ely compares the reconstruction and civil rights eras. Its just over an hour. Here we are at the end of the semester and it strikes me as a Good Opportunity maybe to compare the reconstruction period that we started off talking about in this course with what some have called the second reconstruction, which is the time of the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s. Let me tell you, first, what i mean by the first reconstruction and the second reconstruction. By the first, i mean in not only postcivil war reconstruction, im including also the civil war itself and all that took place during the war up through the end of radical reconstruction. The second reconstruction will be simply enough, the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s. I wont carry my remarks any farther than that, i think. Now, in talking about the two reconstructions, im going to have to use some broad generalizations of a type im not entirely comforta
