mr. scott: as we continue our efforts to tackle the effects of covid, both in terms of health care and the economic fallout, cares 2 could be a critical piece to the puzzle. americans continue to mask up, social distance, and do what we can do as individuals to slow the spread of the virus. here in the senate, we know that we must find additional ways to keep our people as healthy as possible while we reopen our economy as safely as we can. we also know that low-wage and service industry workers have taken the hardest economic hit from the virus. this stems in part from restaurants either being closed or operating at a limited capacity. in april, one out of four individuals to lose their jobs lost their jobs in the restaurant industry. that's 5.5 million americans who lost their jobs in the restaurant business. while those losses have certainly begun to recover and even as our restaurants adjust and innovate to find new ways to serve customers, there is no doubt they need some additional help.

mr. scott: madam president, i want to the thank the senators for their hard work to address the out-of-control spending of the federal government. and to find ways to assist americans who need help in the midst of this pandemic. the coronavirus is a crisis that's demanded action to protect americans. but if we're not careful, congress is going to create another devastating crisis down the road, one of our own doing. our national debt and deficits already at unsustainable levels have skyrocketed as congress has spent almost $3 trillion to address this crisis. even if you remove the paycheck protection program that's kept workers on payrolls, the tempt amount spend by congress to respond to the pandemic amounts to more than $50,000 per unemployed american. if you think any unemployed american has received anything close to'd 50,000 d. close to $50,000? of course not. every dollar spent by congress seems to be spent in the least efficient way possible. now congress has negotiate add new spending b

mr. wrestle who made the arrangements to hire dred scott, but his wife, mrs. russell. mrs. russell had not testified at trial. so mr. russell's testimony was struck out. no evidence showing that threat had been hired and treated as a sleep, so the case was dismissed. but the judge was sympathetic, as you saw on the video. so there was a retrial. at retrial, mr. emerson testified that he paid the money -- i'm sorry, mr. wrestle testified that he paid the money. mrs. russell testified that she made the arrangements and now, with the evidence closed, dred scott was able to prevail at the state court level. >> why did it go on to missouri supreme court? >> i think that takes us back to a fundamental question, which is, why 1846? what is happening that scotts wait as long as they did to get the freedom. i think there is a confluence of things. for me, the most powerful thing are those girls. part of what we know is that they had these two young daughters. something changes. throughout this litigation, the scotts keep the girls and hiding. my sense is always that they are prepare

justice tainy was the author of the dred scott ruling which mr. butterfield very clearly laid out as probably one of the worst decisions of the supreme court. ever. certainly a horrific stain on the history of our country and certainly on the supreme court. how fitting it is that the tane bust will be replaced with a bust of u.s. supreme court justice thurgood marshall, a towering champion of equality and justice in america. mr. clyburn, as well as mr. hoyer, have been working on this, and mr. hoyer's a marylander, i'm a baltimorian, as you know the airport in baltimore is named for thurgood marshall. one born and raised there i take pride in his leadership and service to the country. let us recall justice marshall's words spoken nearly 30 years ago as true today. justice marshall said, democracy cannot flourish amid fear. liberty cannot bloom amid hate. justice cannot take root among -- amidst rage. america must get to work and the chill climate which we live we must go prens the prevailing wind. we must descend from the indifference. we must des

let's bring in our floor show traders, the great scott redler and scott bauer. mr. redler, give me a sense as we are waiting to hear the details of joe biden's economic plan, we know president trump has said buy american. we should explain to people that in a foxhole, we are talking about the crisis we have now with covid and the financial crisis in 2008 that president obama and joe biden inherited, everybody becomes a keysnesian economist meaning everybody decides let's spend a lot of money to drag ourselves out from the depths of depression or recession. give us a sense of what sectors might do well if president trump were to win a second term and what would do well if biden wins. >> well, you know, a lot of people have been talking about how come the market's not pricing in whether or not biden actually has a chance because people do feel like he won't be overall as market-friendly. i do think if biden does win, the overall pe of the s&p must go down somewhat, just because he's not going to be as big business friendly, i feel he's going to not, you know, increase

mr. marchant's staff, scott. their commitment to ensuring this work be done fairly. i would also like to recognize the board and staff of the office of congressional ethics for their contributions to this investigation. lastly, as mr. phillips referenced, enormous thanks are due to our nonpartisan professional committee staff for their tireless work on this investigation and their dedicated service every day to this house. finally, madam speaker, i would like to note that while the committee's investigative work may garner more public attention, the committee's nonpartisan advisory staff is always available to answer any ethics related questions to hold special training sessions for members, and employees in addition to the mandated annual ethics trainingings and issue advisory opinions upon request. i encourage all members of this house, all candidates and congressional staff, to avail themselves of our committee resources to help them satisfy their ethical obligations and avoid mistakes like those made by representative schweikert that bring us to the floor of the h

mr. chairman. chief scott, i do want to say commander ford's presentation was very thorough and impressive. >> thank you sir. >> supervisor safai: just to bring it back little bit. i think that we got kind of about thousand feet. i want to bring it back down to the real, which is important. i think one of the things that i like the office of racial equity to do is -- when i hear online, physical, oral interviews, background processes, the d.o.j. went through a significant number of recommendations. there's the whole aspect of what process as much as possible, in your recruitment and hiring is objective then how much of your hiring process is subjective and subjective process is where many of the inherent biases are played out. that's why i highlighted the retired members doing background processes. they can't help but -- people can't help but bring their biases into the conversation. the other thing to note is today how much energy and effort is put into recruitment and who are we targeting for recruitment and

mr. sanchez? >> thank you. scott sanchez, planning department. so in response to a couple of issues that were raised by the appellant. so in terms of the exposure and why even the alternatives don't meet the exposure requirement -- in terms of the front we require that the windows that are necessary to meet the -- the windows have to be of a certain size to meet the exposure requirement. we require that glazing has to be within the first seven feet, six inches from the floor height. so having windows that are seven, eight, nine feet up, you know, having that glazing area doesn't meet the exposure requirement. so i think that was one of the issues here. while they were providing the clear shore windows, even if they were to be enlarged, given the grade of the street, i don't think they'd be able to have all of that glazing within the 7 feet, 6-inches. in terms of the rear, you can't just kind of slant in light to the rear. it has to be maintained, and you have to have a code compliant rear yard going all the way up. so what was proposed simply doe

mr. speaker, we passed just a few days ago the roger brook taney and other people -- in the opinion, the dred scott decision, what roger brook taney of the state of maryland said was black lives do not matter. they are not citizens. they are not worthy, he pointed out, to be with those of us who are white. we need to make sure that those citizens of our country understand that, yes, black ives matter. mr. speaker, i also have the sad , orgation to say that today yesterday, mr. donald anderson passed away. he was a page at the age of 13 on this floor. we don't have pages anymore. but it was a wonderful experience for those young people. he stayed. he stayed in the cloakroom. he became the director of the cloakroom. and then he became the clerk of the house. he had a distinguished career serving in this institution, which he loved. it began as a teenager, as i said. when i came to the house, he was the assistant manager of the democratic cloakroom. he served as clerk for the 100th through 103rd congress. don was also a u.s. army reserve. his life was filled with service to his country. i hope all of

. >> senator scott from south carolina did a fabulous job with that. mr.ecretary, i appreciate what you said about the police chief in detroit. and i shudder to think what might have happened, the mayor and the governor are working with the trump administration and i hope things don't change. i want to get your last comment here about the visual, the things you are seeing not only in seattle but now in portland, day 58 of what looks like just absolute riots. i don't know how people lived there, i don't know what business would want to relocate there and how would a family walked on the street and that type of situation? joe biden's blaming donald trump. give me a break. >> they blame donald trump for everything. i do have to step up and defend the mayor of detroit, he is probably not like a lot of those other mirrors. but the fact of the matter is, there is a contract, an unwritten contract between the local government and the people. the local government is supposed to protect the people and when they don't do that they are shirking their duties. there sh
