[laughter] you know, for as important as the this project has become to my life, i can says scarcely remember the first time i learned about this historic congressional race in 1739. but what i do remember is reading about it in a book, and it was treated with the typical one or two sentences that you would see about this congressional race. and i thought to myself, way to bury the lead. all of a sudden we're in this race between two future presidents, james madison, james monroe, they're debating the most important issues we've ever talked about as a country, whether we should have a bill

the arms market for the reforms in the u.s. and where the u.s. is going. >> let me say a couple things about that. i work directly with the control reform. i have colleagues and we talk with them so they and form what we are doing in the arms treaty in terms of the discussion that we had and the position we will have the negotiation, and at the negotiation is not be a case of the tad weiss in the bald or the negotiation that is going to directly determine what the u.s. is going to do in the control reform effort but we are going to make sure we do in the reflections what is going on the export controls from the discussions. what is going to come out of the reform isn't be a streamlined more efficient regulatory regime for the u.s. companies to with in the u.s., and the effect it's going to have on the international arms trade i think that it remains to be seen but it's not going to create something it's a lot of the u.s. goes about regulating companies with a commit more effective not about deregulating them and moving regulati

the justices read the briefs and hear the arguments and try to get to the bottom of the constitutionalue. the fact is that there are voting patterns among the justices. justice thomas, for example, has the power of a voting conservatively. justice ginsberg and justice breyer, on the other hand, both the more liberal position. i want to go to the point of who might likely write the opinion on the case. if i were to predict, if it were a very closely divided court, is a five-four, one way or the other, i would suggest it would be just as kennedy casting the decisive vote, and he would probably be assigned the majority opinion, it chief justice roberts is in dissent, it would be the senior associate justice assigning it, and they would probably assign it to kennedy. if, however, there is a larger majority to sustain the legislation, including chief justice roberts, it would certainly be possible, even likely, that he would write the majority opinion. host: mr. turley, at this conference on friday, when the justices indicate how they are going to vote, could that information leak out befor

the fall of the soviet union. the rise of the internet. the 9/11 attacks. in the middle east, we witnessed with a great sense of hope the oslo accords of 1993. whose promise sadly has yet to be realized. on the other hand, in 1994, israel and jordan signed a peace treaty which remains today a mutually beneficial model for the rest of the middle east, israel and arab alike. [applause] in the 24 years we have sadly seen two terrorists fatas and now in recent times the arab world's historic democratic uprising. through the ups and downs, israel, year after year, has grown more and more vibrant, diverse, and security, and the u.s.-israel relationship has grown closer and closer. bond between our two great democracies and our two great peoples, is deeper, wider, and stronger than ever and that is obviously because americans and israelis have so much in common. from our humanitarian values, to our innovation to our system of justice to our systems of defense, from our belief in god to our faith that the bible is the word of god. americans and israelys come togeth

the beginning of the end. i think this relationship has endured a number of hardships and tough times. it's been bruised from time to time, but it hasn't been broken. and we've come through some very difficult times of late. the koran burning was a very difficult time, even before the tragedy of the shootings. but what we learned from that particular incident, as it unfolded, was that there were demonstrations across the country, and some of those were violent, but they were not widespread. and even when they were violent demonstrations, the afghan national security forces stood their ground to defend both afghan citizens and the international security assistance force in a very difficult situation. so it point to, i think, the emergence of a sophisticated afghan national security forces, one that will ultimately support the development of this government in afghanistan. there is corruption in this government. but president karzai has been clear-- he desires to end this culture of impunity, and that public sta

the concept of the for the state and the role of the press, especially in the public square and in thetext of politics and elections and democracy, it goes back long, long time. in fact, the whole notion of being able to identify the process before the state begins with edmund burke. in addressing his fellow members in parliament in 1787, the first time that the house of commons allowed reporters to come in and cover their debate, edmund burke noticed that there was the bishops, the nobility, and the comments, by which edmund burke was a member. he said there was a for the state "in the reporters' gallery yonder, more important by far than all of them." i think understood that, if we're to have an educated and informed populace, if we want to be able to really embrace those notions of freedom of speech and freedom of expression, we need to have a press that lives up to those obligations as a fourth estate. there are a lot of press codes and journalistic ethics codes, literally hundreds of them out there. but they do center on the importance of impartiality, of fairness, of accuracy, an

some acadians, the minority living in the area assist the french. most of the acadians wanted nothing to do with the conflict. they wanted to stay out. they wanted to keep their land. they would be willing british subjects if they were allowed to be neutral and respected in religion. the british authorities, governor lawrence, governor shirley in massachusetts, and the men of massachusetts said now is the time to strike at acadia and nova scotia. what can we do there? if we push out the french, we will settle there. the land will be ours. it's wartime. the enemy cannot be trusted. and so the key to the expulsion was the new england invasion assisted and, of course, the new englanders were coming to nova scotia which was british territory, but they were to making war against the french forts in the border region. that was what was occurring. and if those attacks were successful, then they could go about the expulsion and only if the attacks were successful. it was wartime again. and sure enough, the new england men, 2,000, with some british support,
