Lectures about upholding our institutions and protecting democracy, but just as often, they find a way to undertake some new reckless attack against the courts and rule of law. Im proud of how our nations highest court has weathered these latest baseless attempts to attack its authority. I believe in the integrity and honesty of all nine justices all nine of them.

If Richard Nixon has a secret fund and is using it to live beyond his standard of living, get rid of him. Have him fired. And the demand that he be fired again, i hope this is not shocking to you was the chairman of the dnc. Now, white not . If why not . If i were the chairman of the dnc and i had something that i thought was wonderful to work over my opponent, i would use it. And he certainly did. He called for Richard Nixon to be fired. Of course, there was a couple of problems. First problem, there was nothing that said anybody could get rid of the Vice President of the united states.
