My memory is fuzzy but isn't Fox News the highest rated (i.e. most watched) news channel?

Popular music isn't always good music, and Hannity is fox news highest rated program, so yes, Fox and friends is fox news.GreenGoo wrote:My memory is fuzzy but isn't Fox News the highest rated (i.e. most watched) news channel?

The value of Fox News as a news source is also debatable. Fox & Friends is not Fox News, for example.
Do I get this right? DOJ is arguing that investigating emoluments (a word most of us only know because of the Constitution) would "be a distraction to the President’s performance of his constitutional duties"?DOJ lawyers argued that conducting discovery, including the release of the financial records on Trump and his properties, on a sitting president could trigger “significant separation-of-powers concerns.”
“Moreover, the public interest is decidedly in favor of a stay because any discovery would necessarily be a distraction to the President’s performance of his constitutional duties,” the document states.
Officials in Maryland and D.C. have sought financial records on Trump and his properties. They argue, as alleged in the lawsuit, that Trump has personally benefitted from his presidency and is harming other competing businesses.

milo wrote: Sun Aug 19, 2018 12:14 am I assume that the legal argument is that the constitution only provides for one check on the executive, and that's the legislature. Random citizens cannot sue the president, nor force discovery. If congress requests documents from the office of the president, the president can claim executive privilege, and congress can accept that or not. The courts might weigh in with an opinion on whether the claim of executive privilege is justified or not. But in the end, it is up to congress to impeach and convict the president for any illegal actions committed while in office.
The Founders were terrified of the coming of a despot, and they wrote extensively about it. Their only formal models for a functioning democracy were the Greek and Roman examples, and their educations taught them that despotism was the natural end of any democracy that succumbed to corruption. They knew what they were up against.GungHo wrote: Sun Aug 19, 2018 3:56 am But maybe the framers didn't feel like they needed to include the fact that the president still isn't allowed to commit crimes because, well, duh.
I'm not quibbling with your information, that's what I've heard before as well, and obviously I'm no constitutional scholar but IMHO I feel like these guys(framers) were in the midst of revolting against a king they absolutely despised. It doesn't seem like they would have wanted anyone in their new government, ESPECIALLY the dude at the top of the ladder, to be above the law. I'm down with not having Random Citizen X bringing lawsuits vs the president and I'm good with there being special rules and laws that govern how we investigate, charge, and try presidents(impeaching and removing from office via the House and Senate doesn't count, as there should be more of a punishment for say, murder, than simply losing your job). But I'll be disgusted beyond words if it turns out I've been living in a country that's been run by kings for nearly 250 years.
Peters, a retired US Army lieutenant colonel, was a Fox military analyst until March, when he resigned and burned the proverbial bridge. In a letter to his colleagues, he accused Fox of "assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law."
Peters' statements shocked the TV news industry at the time.
On CNN's "Reliable Sources" on Sunday, he had more to say. "People that only listen to Fox have an utterly skewed view of reality," he said. He described the relationship between the president and his favored news network as a "closed loop," but that was hardly Peters' most strident critique of his former employer.
"Fox isn't immoral, it's amoral," he said. Later in the interview, when Reliable Sources aired clips that show Fox News hosts defending Trump's decision to strip former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance, Peters was asked if he thought his colleagues at Fox are "proud of their performance."
"The polite word is 'prostitutes,' so I'll just leave it at that," Peters fired back.
Peters garnered attention on Sunday for his stunning denunciation of Trump.

The Trump administration on Tuesday made public the details of its new pollution rules governing coal-burning power plants, and the fine print includes an acknowledgment that the plan would increase carbon emissions and lead to up to 1,400 premature deaths annually.

But the clincher:"If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor," the president said in a Fox News interview that aired Thursday.
Because without this thinking, you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse," Trump said, pointing at his head. "I got rid of regulations. The tax cut was a tremendous thing."
How indeed."I don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job," the president told "Fox & Friends."
