They need for this skinny repeal, they dont actually want it to become law. That is very unusual. And so what they want to do instead is use this as just a vehicle to get to whats called a conference committee, where they get together with House Republicans and hash out a bill that the entire congress could pass. So theyre not really in love with this bill before them, the skinny repeal. It does get rid of the individual mandate, the employer mandate, it defunds planned parenthood for a year. But it doesnt tackle subsidies, it doesnt tackle taxes. Because of that, you do have a number of senators who dont like it, and House Speaker paul ryan has said that, yes, hes going to give them assurances the house is not going to pass this bill. Is it going to be enough, though, for senators like Lindsey Graham . The skinny bill as a policy is a disaster. The skinny bill as a replacement for obamacare is a fraud. The skinny bill is a vehicle to getting conference to find a replacement. It is not
President s frustration. This came just days before the site released emails stolen from the Clinton Campaign as chairman. It is tuesday, november 14, 4 00 in the east. Number of republican lawmakers abandoning roy moore is growing by the hour. Questions now being raced about whether he would be allowed to serve, assuming he wins that seat. Thats still a distinct possibility given moores support from many alabama voters and officials. More than a dozen gop senators are pulling for him to pull out of the race. One of the first to say the senate should expel moore should he win the special election. That would require a two thirds majority and has not been done in 155 years. I think he should step aside. Do you believe these allegations to be true . I believe the women, yes. Gop senator jeff flake whos retiring went so far to say quote if the choice is between roy moore and a democrat, a democrat no doubt. Others are saying he should exit the race if the allegations are proven true. But
The day its the jury that determines what the verdict is. I hope that they do not interpret this verdict as diminishing in any way the awful tragedy that occurred and that their family has suffered. This jurys verdict should be respected. Sandra after the ruling yesterday President Trump tweeting, quote, a disgraceful verdict in the kate steinle case. No wonder the people of our country are so angry with illegal immigration. Bill were in l. A. Now with the latest. William, good morning. Now comes word this is not over. The Justice Department said in the last few hours it may charge zarate for felony reentry. You get two years for that when you come back into the country for being deported. Because he had prior convictions he could get up to 10 years from an immigration judge, not a San Francisco jury. The trial was never about immigration and the jury never heard about his illegal status or the deportations. The question was, was the shooting a murder or an accident . The jury decided
During the Hurricane Season when they were so instrumental in rescuing. Hes talking about those numbers were so large, he had to ask on a double check on that. It was so impressive to talk about the brands of the coast guards being more enhanced than anything else in the u. S. Military because of that service during the Hurricane Season. That comprises the work part of the working holiday. The white house also tells us that the first family will gather with friends for their meals. It is traditional and fair and turkey and mashed potatoes and stuffings. It is a mix of work and family time on this holiday. The president remains here through sunday and back to washington where we do expect he will try to do more on the tax cut which certainly filters into his remarks to Service Members today where he talked about it being big and beautiful and trutru trumpian language of his big interpretation of what a tax break would look like.
