with the laws or using the the court will find the law unconstitutional, it is still the basic task of the executive branch to defend those laws and not to set itself up, as it were, as a sort of judicial department. so my final point is the just this felt very strongly on that. i remember it vividly. i remember the law court. justice white took exception to what i think is an almost sacred practice of the justice carmen, which is confess error. we believe, based on our analysis, that this conviction cannot, in fact, stand. asian not have been brought or the conviction cannot stand, even though you wanted the court of appeals level. justice white believes strongly that that was a violation of the fundamental duty of the executive to take care that the law be faithfully executed. and you defense, we will decide whether the conviction can properly be affirmed or not. >> one small technical correction, which raises a larger point. i do not think anybody but the united states can appeal. i do not believe senate or house counsel can actually file an appeal or petition. notification is be

i was commenting of the lack of taking the bill up on the floor of the united states senate. over $1 trillion, the basic work over $1 trillion, the basic work fr i would ask my friend was if why these bills enjoyed bipartisan support, and i think they did, why would they not brought before the full senate and passed?r as they would expect to negotiate other priorities. this is the basic work ofwh borh government. why did we not bring any offloo? these bills before the senate rerter w floor?ow >> mn y hope is that we'll take adwn the smile i have on my fach because the answer to the question is kind of easy. we have had the cloture 87 times in this congress because of everything we've tried to do. i. we have been obstructed., we everyone knows who got very big, issues. when president obama was elected and we found ourselves in a deep, deep hole. it was so deep during the priorn administration will ask a value president obama and president bush, in that month we lost 800,000 jobs. submit a lot to do.ze i know people criticize are doing health care for various bf reasons. there'

the recent shelling of the of the island. was consequent upon the south koreans intruding into what the north koreans consider through their waters the dangerous escalation what you hardy's south korean maneuvers which are in disputed waters which led to. the north korean response. of the artillery shelling of the island we've now seen massive joint us south korean exercises which clearly are leading to the north koreans are upping their. upping their readiness for for future for a future attack or military adventurism i don't think anyone's intending to start if you want a full scale war at this point but the danger with escalation is it gets out of control and that's obviously something we need to we need to be concerned about for the future what we need to see is and gestures from either side to try and step this down a maybe an offer from the north koreans for example to give up their their fuel rods from the yongbyon nuclear reactor and try and ship them to the scientists will be something that might be might allow us to

so at night along the way when they stopped the slot in the car all the way across the country. when they arrived at fort lee virginia, jean was recognized by the colonel smith in charge of fort lee at the time and she had known her and her previous military service survey got sworn into the army and six months leader jean's commission hadn't come through so she went to colonel smith and said what happened to my commission? colonel smith called the pentagon and then she called jean holmes into her office and said you're not going to get in the army convention. you are on the list for the air force and they are not going to let you go. on her way to their base, gene met some men who were traveling and they were telling her that they had an assignment to go to the irving air force depo. so jean got there and they said to her where do you want to be stationed? she didn't know anything about the air force and she said well, i would like to go to the supply depot within germany. they said you want to go to germany to excellence to go to germany. they were collecting up some of the re

the timeframe from the position of the director's officer to the time it gets sent to the recorder, it is because the delay of the process, we have to wait for the 10-day appeal period. so when we issue it and send it out, then there is a 10-day period we must wait for the order of record that has been noticed, whether or not we send it over to the recorder's office, so there is around a 30-day period before it gets sent to the recorder. part of the problem is, as far as future direction to the department, maybe the recorder's office, there is a delay between when instruments are recorded and when it appears. i think that is part of the problem. also, when we take a document, order of abatement, revocation of an order, it could be some weeks before that is recorded. we stand behind individuals coming that day to get their documents recorded. i will say that ms. fong, when she was contacted by us, when she got access to the property, looked at the complaint. regarding the delay to the inspection, there was no delay. if you look at the data sheet, the assigned housing director did make c

the supreme court rejected the claim that the speaker and the president of the senate were not proper have standing. the reason they did was because the new jersey supreme court had previously in a case called for site allowed the legislative officers to intervene on behalf of the legislature to represent the state's interest in defending a statute in that case. that was a reduced the strength statute. >> was that before or after his arizona official that you just referred to? >> a departure -- the carture case? >> yes. >> before. >> the court has never allowed article 3 sandlin? >> that is true. it could not have, but opponents in this case are really in precisely the same shoes as the legislative officers work in that case. because, your honor, under the law of the state of california, the proponents, in fact proponents of initiative measures are routinely and rarely allowed to intervene to defend the measures that they have proposed. >> but in state court proceedings? >> yes, your honor. what is your best case for allowing for article measure standing in federal court on appeal? >>

the time, by the way. -- we both had long hair at the time by the way. [laughter] but elevate then the in level of discussion and bring the best thinking, the best university center, the economic departments, to give their opinion about how to solve economic problems of the day. we'll work -- we work globally. i attempted to say things about economics but i will not bore you with that. our share you a little of personal experience. we all remembered germany of the past. i come from argentina, live 30 years in argentina and 26 and the analyses. i saw how the manipulation of money and credit became an essential element to destroy the rule of law, to corrupt the morals of my native country. i have with me a group -- the most famous argentine dictator, one around, who started to use the political -- the central bank of argentina in a political way. but conservatives continued with the same policies the damage so much of the country. he in no way, teasing the opponents it took him out of power by the libertarian revolution of 1976, he wrote this. the federal

repealing the law by the act of congress, on the other hand, offered the greater likelihood that the department will management legislation. they can provide the structure and predictability that the civilian and military leaders require to effectiveness and efficiently implement a change in policy. we pride ourselves as a nation that does not merely tolerate diversity, varying organization and attitudes, we embrace and are strengthened by the many differences among us. the strength of our nation is the willingness to acknowledge the views, exchange in the debate and at the end of the dialogue, unite under the rule of law and pursue the interest. the character in appeal lies in it's equality, opportunity, and the inclusionive character of our organizational ethos. being more inclusive improves the institution as a whole. strong and committed leadership has plotted the course of the u.s. military throughout history. it is a certainty that change brings challenge, and challenge demands leadership. the quality of leadership that is a hallmark of our military institution will be the dete

the speaker pro tempore: the question is, will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and the motion to recoider is laid upon the table. the speaker pro tempore: could i ask members to take their conversations off the floor. the speaker pro tempore: without objection the title of h.r. 5012 is amended to read as follows. the clerk: to amend the richard b. russell national cool lunch act to establish a program to provide nutritious food to at-risk children on weekends and holidays during the school year. the speaker pro tempore: ask members to take the conversations off the floor. we'll entertain one-minute requests from the floor. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california rise? without objection. the house will be in order. ms. chu: toiling on america's farms is no easy job. few people are willing to endure the heat, cold or the low wages. so today an estimated 75% of the farming work force is undocumented. this is

state, the military, the president of the united states, and to the budget , because the chairman of the appropriations committee informed me yesterday they have fully funded the modernization once again in the c.r., just as we did in the previous c.r., as a sign of good faith of the direction we're going in. so all i can say is we have bent over backwards to meet the concerns of our colleagues in a completely nonpolitical, a political, totally bipartisan, substantive way that meets the security concerns of the country. i hope we can find reciprocity with respect to that kind of action here in the united states senate. so i reserve the balance of my time, and we will respond appropriately on the substance of this amendment at the appropriate claim. mr. risch: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from idaho. mr. risch: first i want to thank the chairman of the committee and the ranking member of the committee for the cooperation that we have had throughout this matter, and i -- as i said when i started my debate on this, i really believe everyone's working in good faith,

we had the secretary of the treasury and the omb as part of the team. we had seven of our original cosponsors vote no. the vote was called. the administration came forward with this plan. this was an executive order commission, which i urge them to do. they are not at the table. we need the administration at the table. >> how important was it to have since -- to have senator durbin. ? >> senator durbin was important. if you back off, we have 60% of the commission to vote for something extremely controversial. 60% in the senate would prevail. that is a good sign. >> you got 70% of the house. -- 17% of the house. >> that is a big problem. in rural parts of the country, they have as great an interest as the other parts. i just do not agree with that. i think we have done a good job of protecting the most vulnerable in society. look at the farm bill. the cuts are about 7%. other discretionary cuts are about 20%. one of the 80 was talking about is the gas tax. here is the reality. my state is in topper 5 -- top 5 in our return upper -- return of tax dollars.

voinovich, how two have become one, the mile is the same, the -- the smile is the same, the look is the same, the attitude. it is a wonderful togetherness that the two of them live. at a time when marriages have a lot of difficulties, it is great to see an example of somebody in high office that lived in public life for over four decades and then has this oneness of their marital relationship. i think they both have served in that capacity, whether for their family or for the people of ohio or the united states. and both living publicly the right way and living privately the right way are both just beautiful attributes and difficult things to be able to get done, and it's great to be able to see it happen. and for that i give great tribute to a won diserfu wonder, george voinovich. i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the time allotted for morning business has expired. a senator: could i ask unanimous consent to speak out of order for perhaps two minutes? the presiding officer: without objection, the senator from delaware. mr. casey: thank you very much. george voinovich as i s

after the december release of the report on the implementation of the repeal, we know that the majority of our military members, 70% of active duty military and national guard and reserve have said that this change will not have a negative impact on their ability to perform their duties. so what we have here, mr. president, is this, we have the support of the top brass of our military of the united states. something that was incredibly important to implementing this policy change. we've checked that box. we have the support of majority of the soldiers in the field who basically have said they can live with this policy change or they can live serving with a soldier who admits that they are gay. and the last thing that we have here, mr. president, is this body, this chamber, and today is the day that we check that box. today is the day that we vote for the repeal. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from arizona. mr. kyl: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the remaining republican time be equally divided between senators mccain, kyl, an

, and the one on the right is with the hotel constructed, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the setback, which the department asked for. finally, this is the view along jesse street with the hotel seen on the left hand side. a couple of years of the model of the hotel i think are quite illustrative. the view down mission street towards the convention center is the back of the building. as rick crawford mentioned, there is not a restaurant in this hotel. the patrons who stay here will generate business activity which, hopefully, will fill some of the vacant storefronts on mission street that now exist in that block and will help further revitalize the plaza area, which is already an excellent civic space. the retail spaces will both be oriented to jesse end to mission street, as you see in this image. typical lower level floor plan of the hotel. this is the level of the seventh level where the vegetative roof is. typical level in the tower. the public open space will be accessible in the area on the roof of the hotel, which will provide a nice area for the public to use it and of

from the university of ill put a snowman in the middle of the road and the driver would hit it resigned from his job after the video was posted. why? we have no idea. but the resignation followed a meeting with his boss. tell me they did not force him out. who is do blame? the bus driver? or the kids would hung the snowman out to dry? a facebook group called "save the bus driver" has drawn a thousand fans. thank you for watching. >>shepard: first from fox at 3:00, a 26-year-old man is in federal custody after vest gave say he threatened to bomb the washington, dc subway system. he described how he would build a pipe bomb and he said he would put devices on the third and 5th cars because they have the most people. and the washington, dc is the second largest rail system and nearly half of the people are federal employees at the high hours the second threat in 9 past couple of months. in october the f.b.i. arrested a man who thought he was working with members of al qaeda to attack the subway stations. and now, with the news from washington, dc. were they threats? or was it a real plot? >

that is the view of the judge is closest to the case from the beginning and the view of the judge courtgenerally. how can we find a different result from people who have dealt with this for 20 years? >> first of all, remember that the receiver was appointed and then three months later there was a motion for a three judge court. the court was convened before the receiver had even finalized a comprehensive plan to bring everybody into compliance. that is the fundamental legal error i am asking this court to correct. even if you get beyond that, it seems to me that there is a mixed question of law and fact. it is the kind of standard that this court ought to analyze on an independent review, whether or not overcrowding is the primary cause of the violation. what makes that inquiry particularlynt to this is that the district court arbitrarily cut off the record in august of 2008. there have been enormous developments -- >> the state has said that they do not want plaintiffs to tour these facilities anymore. they do not want something to go beyond the date in 2008. it was at this stage that

on the left is the horror, which is the symbol of the unity of the horror.t is basically the sunni saint. they were buried here and thousands of people basically calm. i'm an objective probably was to discourage people from coming there. it's typical al qaeda tactic because they don't like shines. they don't like mausoleums. then we had also on october 5th, 1 big attack outside killing several dozen people. to have been harmed so far basically which are emanating out of north waziristan and south waziristan region by the people who are hiding out there and at least 50 suicide bombings we've seen this year so far. now, i say that the moscow corporation in july 2007 was a game changer because it gave birth to the rossi force. then the palace and emerson 2007 and then boom by 2007 attack. these are the game changer subdivided to the complexities of the security environment in pakistan and afghanistan and i think posing a big challenge to other stakeholders. now, they think bruce was talking about the draft national militants. these are some of the groups which

you got the head of the dog, the body and the tail. i look at the consumer as the tail and the government as the body. and the head of this thing is the corporation. who should be leading in terms of responsibility? guest: in our system, our elected leaders lead. unfortunately, history tells us that political leaders are only focused on their own reelection, not necessarily doing the right thing for energy policy. energy policy requires the american people to make some difficult decisions in terms of the cars they drive, the amount they travel, how much they burned in heating their homes, and how efficient -- the investment they need to make to be more efficient. we are all responsible for ourselves. but we cannot drive electric cars until we have a policy that encourages investment of electric cars that reduces overall oil consumption. host: what happened during the 30 years of being in the oil and gas industry that made you change your mind, if that is what happened, about the future -- the status quo of this industry? guest: there w

rest of the world before the now we have the first results coming from the state duma the lower chambre of the lower house of the russian parliament which said yes to these treaty to the court document in its first meeting in the first voting which took place today three hundred feet to vote three hundred fifty deputies said yes steve against fifty eight the plan to cut the arsenals up post the treaty itself well it seems like a good start for new start in russia there will be two more sessions at the state duma and also the federation council but we expect they will take place katra the new year holiday see us senate approved their education resolution a very controversial document in russia's view which they believe contradicts the preamble of the agreement and these two resolutions says particular that a new new trade a new start should not contain the u.s. anti missile programs development and of course russia will be studying the docket the document carefully with regard to the u.s. missile defense plans especially close to russia's borders at the moment the u.s. plans to deploy an

were the people that the united states ended up cooperated with in the wars in the years after the second world war of the most important interest here though is of course the voltec waffen s.s. because the united states was really caught parading tightly with people located there to try to fight the soviet union and a lot via for example a baltic state as one of is the only place in the world right now that sees former s.s. soldiers as war heroes this is something that the united states is really so far staying silent about and strangely especially when the cause is so straightforward as fighting the glorification of naziism. way to get more from our to the latest news analysis and blog as always for you on our website it's a taste of what's about to dot com right now. biding her time in russia she joins a political youth movement and what she's up to now and what her stance is. and christmas is well and truly coming to moscow and the sand to spill around the world in the capital for giving spree if you still don't believe in santa just log on to our time dot com and see for yourself. it

the tax cuts for the rich and the wealthy. i guess we will make them wealthy and see if they trickle- down like the trickle-down economics that the republicans believe and so much with giving back to america, i want to see if they get back to america. we will continue to make them rich. will they invest back in america and create the jobs that they say they will create, i guess making vague -- making the wealthy more rich. obama has given it to them. i believe the republicans will be exposed with this now because the way obama was going with getting the economy back on track was working. look at this deficit now. they tried to undermine all of his policies. they tried to stonewall. look at how they added on to a deficit. with no excuse. host: let us hear from how we on the republican line from philadelphia. host: how are you doing? when i hear people say rino, i think of the republicans voted to pass the civil rights restoration act of the president's veto. the second week of february of 2001 president bush gave raises to new

think about it, the bricks, the mortar, the rerods, the wall board, the sheet rock, most of the lighting and the conduits, the piping, switches, floor tiles, windows, doors, most of it is made in america. most of that is made here. so when you spend $1 on something like that, the work is done locally, helps the local economy, plus all the materials -- not all, but most of the materials are made in america. that dollar spins around. you give someone an extra $100,000, they spen spent $29,800 on a watch, i don't think that benefits many americans. maybe the jewelry store. maybe tiffany's where you buy it. maybe they get some. sure they do. but that goes out of the country. you give extra money to people to buy a new flat screen tv, yeah, there's some benefit here. the retailer that sells it, maybe the shipper that brought it in. the majority of it goes overseas. majority of it goes overseas. that's why i say if we're going to borrow money -- if we're going to borrow money, put it into infrastructure. it provides a lot of jobs and provides a great multiplier effect in our economy and you ge
