    Attacks against ISIS in Syria continue and the British Parliament votes to support them. Rich Lowry notes that "there's an irony in a monarchy having this debate in a way we aren't having in our country." Matt Miller recommends an article by Yale legal scholar Bruce Ackerman, criticizing the legal justification given by the Obama administration. Bob Scheer says "it's an act of profound stupidity." President Obama speaks at the United Nations climate change summit. Our panel criticizes soon-to-depart Attorney General Eric Holder -- Bob Scheer says he was an enormous disappointment, and Rich Lowry calls him a political hack. This American Life and ProPublica go deep inside Goldman Sachs with a bank examiner from the New York Federal Reserve. Here's a look at the story on Bloomberg View. Bob Scheer said the news "will lead to the biggest expose of government and Wall Street corruption in American history."

    Matt Miller moderates from the Center. On the Left, Robert Scheer (Editor-in-Chief, TruthDig-dot-com). Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right.

These aircraft were part of a large coalition strike package that was the first to strike Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) targets in Syria. President Barack Obama authorized humanitarian aid deliveries to Iraq as well as targeted airstrikes to protect U.S. personnel from extremists known as ISIL. U.S. Central Command directed the operations. (DoD photo by Staff Sgt. Shawn Nickel, U.S. Air Force/Released)
