Palmieri: Dems Must Do Everything Allowed Under the Constitution to Hold Trump Accountable

‘ — they have to push to the furthest spot that’s allowed under the law and that means not following convention’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
PALMIERI: "So that means — that means you — they have to do — they resist but that’s different than obstructing. So I think they have to do everything that is allowed under the Constitution, everything that’s allowed under Senate rules, to hold Trump accountable, to try to ferret out what this judge might really think about presidential powers. Whatever the — whatever is in front of them, they have to — they have to push to the furthest spot that’s allowed under the law and that means not following convention. You know, convention would say that a president gets to pick their cabinet and you largely defer to them. But in this case, when you have someone like Ben Carson who says I don’t think I’m qualified for the job, when you have somebody like Governor Perry, who said — who wanted to get rid of the department he’s supposed to head, they shouldn’t be confirmed."
