president s direct involvement? i would love the president s direct involvement and he has been directly involved. he s passed executive orders. the president is not a king. the president cannot just by fiat claim something to be the case. the system starts with congress to pass laws. the house of representatives has passed, in my time in congress, we have passed most of this major legislation. it goes to the senate to die like most things do but we re going to do it again. we re going to go and go back next week and we re going to pass it again because that s what the american people deserve and we re going to send it back over to the senate and people should vote and go back to their constituents and have to justify their vote and stand by their vote. we re going to make them vote. that s their job. we need to continue to push hard and have the american people m push with us to put pressure on those who are not willing to come to the table. do you think americans should

Honored that recusal with regard to matters pending the Department Of Justice, but i just want to comment on what may have been on anybody elses mind or offer any opinion about that because its not for me to make those decisions. Well, it is exactly, i think, why Senator Schatz asked a whole series of questions about the scope of recusal, because i am a lawyer. Senator schatz may not be. He asked better questions than i did, but i also am having real difficulty understanding the scope of the recusal, its contours in definition, and i have an unresolved question about whether or not thats why the Attorney General failed to appear before us today, is to avoid having to answer direct questions about the scope of his recusal.
