    I really like this show, but.......

    So, 15 years ago, a woman spent a lovely evening with a man she adores, and lovingly looks back on it. But, now she disqualifys him for a White House appointment , because he talked with her about reliving the moment, and now she thinks she might have been taken advantage of?! This country is losing it's mind!

    They Finally Found It

    As things revolve around uncertainty, a vital discovery is made. A good friend of the President proves to have feet of clay. A federal judgeship is available but the man who is probably the best candidate has issues with crossing the line with women. Hannah Wells is freelancing after being fired by the President. And there is a case of a kid who painted a smiley face in a foreign country and the sentence is 20 years.
