the deregulatory effort from white house office of the known -- she is ten years teaching at the george masonexpert on the administrative state and regulatory law which is perfect for d.c. circuit. so why do democrats dislike her? >> because her politics are qeivetive. it is simple as that and to prove that, they have to go scouring through things she wrote for her college newspaper. justice kavanaugh was 17 years old when his offenses were committed presumably. this just shows the depth to which the democrats have gone through this point and it kind of suggest that reality of their opposition. i mean, look at naomi this was an indian american woman who supposedly is the embodiment of the american ideal that diversity, the most liberals and progressives say they want now. but because she's a conservative, because she might be going on to a federal court they're going to take her down with a personal attack. not a substantive attack but a personal attack on her background. >> i mean, james, i edited student newspaper and i have to tell you i don't know that i could defend that record. >> i did

we spoke with a george mason univsirotyssfe por s wd aiho are still trying to sort out what needs to happen next. >> you have, of course, different constituencies. the #metoo movement pulling in one direction. african-american communities saying don't resig let's have a process here. and elected officials are kind of caught in the middle. >> the virginia house speaker says he's op to a general assembly-led investigation.ri he tells "thmond times dispatch," there would have to be an agreement for that. >>> a vote this morning could bring back the old operating hours for metro rail or keep the current hours for another year. justin finch is at the station in arlington with more on this morning's vote. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the metro board, now, just 3 1/2 hours away from taking up this service hours vote. it may sound benign. however, this has the makin of a high-stakes vote. there's some arguments to be maden either sid of this issue. you may recall that metro rolled up the limited hours take care of major repairs across the service and to do some preventive mainten

study, george mason university, okay, that is $3.2 trillion a year. for ten years. let me give you perspective. the federal budget in 2018 was $4.1 trillion. basically the entire budget. open your wallets, watch out, socialists like kamala are coming. keep in mind, that proposal would literally kick 177 million americans off their private health care plans and also completely kill off another private industry. if you work for an insurance industry, goodbye. kamala harris wants you gone. jobless. out of work. he doesn't care. by the way, what happens when medicare for all feels like obamacare? what then? democrats are trying to sell these big government programs. they own compassion. they are the most compassionate. but don't be fooled. a government power grab, plain and simple, this is what it's about. i don't trust -- they don't trust you. they are therefore -- they want the government to control every aspect of your life. they want to use your money to buy boats, bribe people to vote for them with your money, and get power. let's recap the modern-day democratic pa

i'm from george mason university. for the longest time whether from european union, indian government, even the pakistanis, what i have heard that they would support an afghan-led, afghan-owned process. what i'm hearing is the inter-afghan dialogue is to come. where are the afghans in this process this they should be leading it, solving it. i feel like this is being imposed on them. thank you. >> thank you you so much. my question is regarding about woman and taliban. i know it's big chal -- challenge between taliban and afghanistan. what do you think about the situation of woman in afghanistan? because they get -- they give all men some limited job. what do you think about future? and also the second question is , what do you think about the result and your hard work? and when you do the hard work, what do you think about the result? > thank you so much. >> thank you for the opportunity. my name is nassar, i'm c.e.o. of n.g.o. called global peace one week. my he question is specifically regarding pakistan. . to bring

so george mason of virginia came up with the additional phrase, high crimes and misdemeanors, and thatticle ii, section 4 of the constitution. there was a moment in our history when it saved american democracy. but at other times it's been turned into a cheap political trick hurled at opponents as a weapon. so which is it today? to answer that question, we need to understand the past so we know whether impeachment will work when we really need it. >> people are seriously talking about impeachment. >> they will immediately try to impeach the president. >> well on our way to impeachment. >> the word "impeachment" has been used by our count at least 12,000 times this year, and that's just on cable news. >> i say impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. >> impeach trump! impeach trump! impeach trump! >> thousands are in the streets out here this evening. >> this was just one day after donald trump was elected president. but the outcry is hardly surprising. donald trump is the most polarizing president in an already bitterly divided america. >> we will impeach him. we will impeach him. the pe

in economics from george mason university and a former economist for the senate finance committee.ke i'm announcing a boxing match or something. let's begin with you what is mmt, what are the principles here, how does it work >> well, the basic idea would be that, you know, mmt is trying to build a better mouse trap. i think that's the way to think about it so right now, we have the federal reserve trying to fight inflation by creating unemployment that's how the fed fights inflation and what mmt would do is use full employment to fight inflation, so a full employment economy and a better price anchor, a better inflation outcome. >> usually, one of the key drivers of inflation that is associated with full employment is rising wages. >> so what we would do is establish effectively a public option in the labor market so instead of having millions and millions of people locked out of employment who actually want to weigh in, who want to participate, who want to contribute, we would allow them to come in we would guarantee employment at a fixed wage we would say $15 an hour and those p

according to a "washington post" george mason university poll, virginians who were surveyed are splitach about whether he should stay in office or resign. most respondents say they were offended by the racist photo that appeared on his medical school yearbook page. and the man who would take northam's place has his own troubles. one of the two women who has accused lieutenant governor justin fairfax of sexual assault says she will testify if there are impeachment hearings, but in a statement saturday fairfax called his encounters with his accusers consensual. for more here is cnn's kaylee hartung. jr justin fairfax has taken a leave of absence from his law firm, he is no longer the chairman of the democratic lieutenant governors association, but he is still lieutenant governor of the commonwealth of virginia. he is refusing to step down amidst allegations of sexual assault that have been brought against him by two different women. now, virginia's democratic leaders and lawmakers are very widely calling for his resignation. a joint statement, though, by virginia's democratic legislator

george mason, who didn't actually sign the constitution, argueded that the president's pardon power wasresident ought not to have the power of pardoning, because he may pardon crimes that were advised, yes, by himself. james madison said there's a security of the house, which can impeach him. and here is why i'm showing you that ancient history tonight as everyone waits for mueller to do something. the exchange does suggest that the founders, when they assumed there could be a crime-committing president, they also assumed the first response was impeachment to that. it may sound unjust to have president presidents who face no charges for crimes. let's say he trespassed on someone's property, busted, on camera, no doubt. a federal prosecutor could try to indict on that defense and convicted trespasser could spend months in jail in d.c. but no legal scholars really think of the constitution supports that outcome. the impeachment for that very reason and congress would never find trespassing in d.c. to be a high crime. the second reason it is hard to consider indicting a sitting president.
