marcia, let's start with you. let's take this one at a time. there were two things that the court was asked to look at by the trump administration. first, to grant review on hearing the arguments on the executive order. >> right, judy. the legal challenges to the executive order focused on basically two provisions, the 90-day travel ban from six predominantly muslim countries and the 120 day suspension of the u.s. refugee assistance program. the government asks the supreme court to review two federal appellate court rulings that struck down the executive order one, and they ruled separately, claiming that the order violated the establishment clause of the constitution because it was religious discrimination. and a second ground was that the executive order exceeded the president's authority under federal immigration law. a provision, in particular, that prohibits discrimination on the basis of nationality. the supreme court said it would hear arguments on the merits of those two appellate court rulings in october. >> woodruff: meantime separate

we begin with marcia on the democratic line. caller: good morning, and thank you for c-span. before i mentioned the reason i called, my only criticism against c-span is why didn't ryan lamb come up with that idea about 10 years sooner? because then we have all the watergate hearings and all of that information in the archives. i going to the archives of the used to be a segment on in the morning show called newspaper roundtable. do you realize what that could have been like if brian lamb just wouldn't come up with that idea? i'm a loyal viewer and it is my only criticism. i will end this rant with thank you for c-span, even though we didn't get around to it until 1979. i'm calling this morning because i think of the only senior citizen awake and up and at them who remembers watergate come either that or they haven't had enough coffee. i think people have forgotten, and therefore don't tell younger people, their children or grandchildren what those times were like when watergate happened. people sometimes are terrible think timeseople are terrible now, they should click on you

let's bring in trump transition team vice chair marcia blackburn to weigh in. what was your reaction to what james comey said? >> i tell you what, james comey had his grand eruption, if you will, in front of the senate committee today, and i thought it was just mind-boggling that he would sit there and say this and admit that they had politicized this investigation. he had a criminal investigation in place and was told to refer to it simply as a matter. that is like, liz, i'm saying something would be an inconvenience. i just thought how astounding is this? i thought the entire testimony showed how political he was and what an ego he has. liz: yeah, congressman, you make a good point here because the clinton campaign did pick up on that use of the term matter. the clinton campaign said it is an fbi matter. this came down from the obama administration through loretta lynch. what could happen with the hillary clinton e-mail probe now given the new bombshell disclosure? >> you know, i think what you're going to see with this is a circling back to looking what the

marcia in trenton, new jersey. caller: thank you for taking my call.hat i want to know is, why the president would even suggest lifting sanctions on the two homes that they told the russians to get out of on december 29. why would he even consider giving them back? mr. pomeranz: that refers to a news story that was broken by the washington post this morning. that the president is considering returning the two compounds that were closed at the end of the obama wherestration and president obama accused them of being engaged in intelligence gathering activities. why president trump wants to give them back is unclear. the caller raises an important question though. is considering this, what is he asking in return? if this is a unilateral action, the russians will be happy to pocket a concession. in this case, the return of the compound, and not offer anything in return. this gets back to the negotiating strategy of president trump and gets back to the larger question of what he wants the u.s. to do with sanctions imposed in the aftermath of ukraine. that a
