a couple of weeks ago, the top democrat on the house judiciary committee, the man in line to be the new chairman of the house judiciary committee, he took objection to the conventional wisdom that a sitting president can't be indicted. congressman jerry nadler of new york is now chair of the judiciary committee, and he is openly saying that he does not believe the justice department internal guidance which says that a sitting president should be considered immune from prosecution. now, whether those internal justice department legal memos from the 1970s and from 2000, whether or not those olc memos about the possibility of indicting the president, whether or not those are binding, whether or not those would stand any sort of real test has been hotly debated by lawyers and constitutional scholars as the scandal surrounding this president have achieved unprecedented heights and levels of concern. two weeks ago on this show, congressman nadler raised eyebrows when he laid down that marker, though. he called that internal justice department guidance that a sitting president can't be indicted, he called it, quote, a deeply unamerican decision. he said on this show no one should

the trump administration working with us, and hopefully the house will see the wisdom of this when thebill comes over to them, and we get a bill signed that takes care of almost 50,000 active-duty patriots, men and women risking their lives right now as we speak, with no pay. so i'm hopeful that's a template. another broader issue, though, madam president, that this matter actually raises, that we need to focus on a lot more here in the senate, is a problem that i've seen in the last four years during my time here is that sometimes the coast guard gets short shrift relative to other members of the military. it's wrong, and we need to work on it together. why has that happened? certainly because they're not as heroic and dedicated and patriotic as the rest of the military. and i don't think it's intentional. it's more bureaucratic. the coast guard falls under the commerce committee. the coast guard falls under the homeland security secretary. the marines, the army, the navy, the air force are under the armed services committee, under the pentagon. and sometimes things just happen whethe
