what he think about what jonathan turley had to say? >> i agree with jonathan turley. i am not a lawyer but it strikes me as anyone would know, the executive branch really -- the judicial branch, this judge made a decision that the judge and his legal opinion thought was the best decision that he could make. it is not up to the president to weigh into that other than we will take it to the supreme court which, of course, is his right. i'm sure calling it a ban is something that the justice department probably is popping tongs over. you remember sean spicer said this is not a ban. >> martha: it is interesting what jonathan turley said. he said, this is an idea that has come out of the white house and been put forth. but they have not labeled anybody specifically a sanctuary city yet. does it suggest that there is bias on the part of the judge, that he is already taking this action before there is anything specific to be reacting against? >> it does, martha, seem as though he got ahead of himself. julie and i are in the same boat. we both love the law. it is, as she was

jonathan turley is a professor at george washington law school and nationally renowned constitutionalolar and frequent guest of our spread we welcome you back tonight. this article caught our eye. why do thing that happened? why do you think the press turned a blind eye to this revelation in the story? >> we've seen a lot of this. it's quite surprising. i've been very critical of things that president trump has said about the media, because in some cases is been unfair. but the media seems to be rushing to fill every stereotype of these tweets. there are so focused on debunking the trump administration that there debunking actual stories. the rice controversy is a real story. we don't know what the motivations were. we don't know how far it went on, but in her first interviews with the network after she had denied any knowledge about unmasking them, the networks didn't ask her about that statement that was made only a couple weeks before in this second of interviews. not one said, but you're saying something diametrically opposed to what you just told national media not two weeks ago.

jonathan turley, a constitutional law professor at george washington university right here in washington, says that this past administration has created a constitutional crisis the likes of which our country has never seen. professor turley talks about how a president now has shown future presidents a new precedent of how to run the government without congress, by blocking the senate and actually creating the fourth arm of government -- the regulators. i think this is the time in the history of our rope that we have to reestablish the balance of power between the three power, the legislative underreach, the executive overreach and now the establishment that rules coming from regulators have every much the same weight as laws produced right here behind debate in the united states senate and the united states congress. this is a time that we have to have a jurist that will bring a balanced view for all americans to be represented in the united states supreme court. i'm proud to have the opportunity to support this nominee. i urge my colleagues in the senate to put partisan interests aside,

sebastian barker -- jonathan turley on the al gore search being confirmed. "the factor "is coming right back. >> tonight, fox news reporting that senior u.s. officials are investigating whether russia played a role as we discussed in the chemical attack in northern syria earlier this week. also, the u.s. did them advance notice of the attack. and in washington, chris harmer, senior naval analyst at the institute of the study of war. we will begin with you this evening that you were on "the factor" before the missiles launched last night. do you think the operation was effective? >> it was effective in two ways. number one, punishing bashar al-assad for the use of chemical weapons and reestablishing u.s. military credibility in the region. a lot of people talk about political solutions, they talk about the poetic solutions. there is never been at the poetic solution or political solution in the absence of military credibility. we can't predict where president trump is going from here, but in the narrow entrance for punishing bashar al-assad for using chemical

jonathan turley, we spoke with him, would be highly unlikely to see criminal charges brought againstvider. the responsibility rests primarily with those posting the material. this is something that investigators and law enforcement experts sometimes call a performance crime. it's a situation where the social media or broadcast aspect is actually potentially part of the criminal motivation or the criminal conduct of the assailant which makes it a particularly horrifying. any cold blooded murder like the facts as described here is pretty tough. but you add to that the idea that someone somehow wanted it to be viewed live and obviously people who might be watching on facebook or watching at the first juncture are unsuspecting, have no idea what they might be able to see. >> put on your philosopher's hat for me. if facebook doesn't have a legal liability, does it have a moral responsibility to prevent something like this or is that just impossible for them to police the content that going up on their platform? >> it's a great question. if it is perform tif, something being done in part t

our last president, according to constitutional law professor jonathan turley, created a constitutional crisis. it was caused by shutting down the senate and creating the fourth arm of government, the regulators, and threatening the very balance of our three-branch system. it allowed the former president through regulatory mandates and executive orders to basically fundamentally change the direction of the country without congress. given this threat to the constitution at this point in our history, we absolutely need a jurist on the supreme court who will bring a balanced view and impartial commitment to the rule of law. it is imperative that we confirm judge neil gorsuch tomorrow, a principled, thoughtful jurist, to the united states supreme court. if we can't confirm this individual, who is absolutely in the middle of a profile agreed to by past democrats and republicans alike, who in the world will we ever be able to confirm, seriously? given that, and one other issue. -- what other issue. if we can't get together on this individual, who is in the mainstream, in the middle of the pro
