united states. the virginia state capitol and the constitution of the united states were born in the same year. 1788. and the constitution is just a fewcapitol. the revolution put virginia on the map for a new commonwealth. then in 1861, the civil war put it on the map as a new national capitol for the confederate states of america and virginians took a long time to decide whether or not to seseed from the union and subsequently join the confederacy. but we're actually standing in the room where virginians voted to suseed from the union. once that decision was made, the confederate congress was brought to richmond from alabama and for the next four years between july of 1861 through march of 1865 the virginia state capitol was multitasking. it hosted not only the ongoing me meetings of the virginia general assembly and state governors but hosted simultaneous meetings of the confederate congress. the civil war came to a dramatic end right here in richmond in spring of 1865 the confederate government decided on the second of april to evacuate the city and the virginia state government made the same de

article two section three of the united states constitution in which the founders who didn't seem to anticipate a woman being president states that he shall from time to time give to the congress information about the state of the union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he showed judge necessary and expedient also not anticipating television or even radio the founders afforded the president the opportunity of delivering in writing which early presidents did beginning with woodrow wilson the state of the union was described to a joint session of congress in modern times this event has become a t.v. show a once a year opportunity when everyone who cares is watching so any president who is a t.v. performer is advantaged. president trump addressed a joint session of congress shortly after his inauguration the first anniversary of which brought a government shutdown so tuesday night will be his first official state of the union address to a divided congress and a divided nation the bar is set higher than that honeymoon moment a year ago what to expect let's ask preside

united states of america. what the department of justice has asked cities to do is violate the constitution. mayors of america want to comply with the constitution. but this is sa problem for congress not mayors of america. every mayors of america, police chief number one priority is make the streets of america safe. that is what we've been doing. so we'll take up the issue. but i want to set this out clearly for the people of america. as they watch what just happened, what could have happened was would you guys please come to the white house so we can have a constructive discussion about immigration reform, daca, by the way we would like to talk about sanctuary cities and have a provocative and tough conversation that may or may not clul salty language about any particular issue. that actually is the way we do things. one thing we never do is invite people into a comfortable space and then somehow out in the front go throw a bomb so the conversation starts off in a negative way rather than a positive way. that's not a way, irrespective of what anybody's position might be, to get to a though

we'll see how the lawyers interpret the a laws of the united states constitution in this respect. we have to remember of course on mueller's staff is michael drebin, solicit or of the united states and the most constitutional appellate lawyer in the country at the moment. i'm sure he fully researched the question whether, one, you can abuse your powers by firing people and also whether you can be indicted while in office. so that is a secondary question. because some people say he can only indict after he leaves office. he can be impeached while in office. so there is a lot there. >> even if you say the president has the constitutional right to fire whoever he wants to, no president has the right to obstruct justice if that is what robert mueller thinks happens. >> and a different parallel, folks might remember nixon famously said if the president does it, it's not illegal. that is essentially the argument being made right now. that is chilling. no way. you can cloak it up with a lot of nice legal language. if that is the argument being advanced by president's counsel, everybody be

all agree that section 702 does not violate the fourth amendment to the united states constitution. even the ninth circuit, which is frequently out of line with other circuit courts and the supreme court, agrees that section 702 is constitutional. courts are of course aren't the only oversight mechanism. there are ones within the executive branch which i alluded to earlier including routine reviews by the department of justice in the office of the director of national intelligence. and of course congressional committees like the senate intelligence committee and the judiciary committee, both of which i serve on, also receives regular reporting on the 702 program and holds open and closed hearings on the subject. ultimately the approaches that are preferred by the 702 critics would force the f.b.i. to rebuild the wall between criminal and national security investigations that existed before the attacks on new york on 9/11 and would cause the f.b.i. to stovepipe its section 702 collection contrary to the recommendations of numerous commissions, including the 9/11 commission and the for

adam, if one reads the united states constitution, there are not many references to congress. there is one responsibility that congress has and that is to appropriate funds for the functioning of the united states government. in fact, for all the other stuff congress does, this is really the only constitutionally mandated job and once again we have seen whatever side on the issue you're on, it hasn't worked. congress tonight adjourns not having done its job. >> that's right. and i think that is why the blame for this will fall on republicans as the party that controls all of the levers of power in government. banking on the fact this will be seen as a shutdown over the issue of what they see as illegal immigration, but the problem is most people just see is a shutdown. they see congress failing to do the most basic task, keep the government open. and look at the party controlling congress and the white house and that i is a i these guys cannot run -- cannot perform the basic task they're there to do. add on top of that the fact republicans have a long history of shutting down t
