And, phil, you have been busy already with at least one tweet outgoing aimed at the bob woodward book. Talk about that. What it says and how it matches against reality. Well, the president is pushing back aggressively against the reporting and his tweet this morning was about libel laws suggesting that they should be toughened. But look. It is difficult for the white house and for the president to challenge woodwards credibility because hes written so many books and has a meticulous way of doing the reporting and the portrait in the book of President Trump is truly chilling. It shows senior officials, secretary mattis, defense secretary, chief of staff john kelly, economic adviser really acting as guardrails against the impulses trying to protect the country from what they viewed as very dangerous decisions that the president wanted to make or was tempted to act on. Things he was planning to sign were swiped off his desk and so forth so its really getting under the president s skin, cl
Last year you drafted a dis sent in a case where a young woman in texas was seeking an abortion. You argued that even though the young woman had a h complied with the parental notification law and secured an approval from a judge she would nonetheless be barred. In making your argument, you ignored and i believe mischaracterized a Supreme Court precedent. You reasoned that jane doe should not be unable to exercise her right to choose because she did not have family and friends to make her decision. The argument rewrites Supreme Court precedent and if adopted, we believe, would require courts to determine whether a young woman had a sufficient support network when making her decision, even in cases where she is gone to court. This reason we believe, i believe, demonstrates that you are willing to disregard precedent and if thats the case because just saying somethings settled law, is it really correct law . The impact of overturning roe is much broader than a womans right to choose. Its
Senate democrats hijacking the hearing seconds into it over a dispute about the release of the Supreme Court nominees records, claiming they havent had enough time to go over them. Thousands of pages of documents we have not had an opportunity to review or read or analyze. You are out of order. We cannot possibly move forward, mr. Chairman. I extend a very warm welcome to judge kavanaugh, to his wife, ashley. Mr. Chairman, if we cannot be recognized, i moved to adjourn. We have been denied real access with the documents we need. Whats the rush . What are we trying to hide by not having the documents out front . Regular order for us to receive all the documents. To receive all the documents this committee is entitled to. Jesse the rnc calculated democrats interrupted over 60 times. When they werent doing that, Capitol Hill Police arrested roughly two dozen demonstrators for rowdy disruptions like this. Alexander hamilton wrote in the federalist papers. This mr. Chairman, can i pause unt

Molly. Reporter the tower of voices being dedicated today, clearly rain or shine, is in remembrance of those who fought back on united flight 93. You gave a few of the logistics. 40 chimes represent those 40 passengers and crew members who took check particular heroic action, losing their lives and the crash that resulted but saving an unknown number of innocent people at the terrorist intended target, believed to be the Capitol Building in washington, d. C. Edward porterfeld was among the passengers. I think it speaks defiantly, sending a message, welcoming all those that come to the flight 93 National Memorial and reminding us how those 40 unique individuals were able to in a very short period of time stand up and defy the terrorists. Reporter the chimes differ in size, five to 10 feet in length and produce distinct musical notes, no other chime structure like this one exists in the world. It is a memorial and a Musical Instrument in one. A lot of the last memory of people on the pla
