chairman, i don't think alexis detoqueville was affected by this. and i don't appreciate the suggestion mine was. >> don't have the wrerequisite numbers to vote on this. so we can continue the debate. >> i'd like to continue the debate because i think senator enzi says i don't -- he doesn't stifle trial by jury. i think we need to talk about that and i think we need to talk about what a health court is. it sounds great like a drug court. like a mental health court, et cetera. but really, what a health court would be, it would be a new entity emerging within our legal system and health courts don't have juries. okay? they don't have juries, they're like workman's compensation courts, if you will. so you don't have a trial by jury. and then there's this whole section of voluntary which is where do you -- at what point do you choose when they're going to trial or when you're being admitted to a hospital. so we can continue that this afternoon. but i want to respect where senator enzi is going and also the extensive work he's done this with senator bach

that's the tyranny of the majority that alexis de tocqueville envisioned. that's not the way the senate has been running this year. the senators made a good-faith example of saying we're going to have some amendments. that means we're going to have amendments some of us don't really want to vote on them. there have been some i didn't want to vote on, some offered by people on my side of the aisle, some over there. but that's what we do in the united states senate. so why are we doing this? why are we saying suddenly no amendments? so i would hope that the senators, all of us, would agree that at 5:30 we should vote "no" -- we should vote "no." and by voting "no" we would be saying let's continue to debate. let's continue to amend. a vote "yes" is a vote to obstruct. a vote "no" is to continue to amend. and the issue is shall we take the government ownership of automobile companies and put it as soon as as is practically possible back in the hands of the american people where it belongs? our free enterprise system? that's the american way. we got four differ

alexi lalas looks ahead. >> you have to be able to compete.s not about winning necessarily against the big teams. when you get off the field after the 90 minutes you want to say "i'm proud of the u.s. and i have hope for the future." the progress that this team and sport has made on and off the field in the last 10-20 years is phenomenal, it's so incredible when you compare it to other countries -- the fact is in the united states, we want everything immediately. we want to be able to win the world cup. we want to be able to compete. my problem with this team is it's not necessarily the best players but it's not the best group of players, and as we've seen in any sport it's not necessarily all the great stars and all the best players coming together, it's the proper mix. when you're looking at this team we have to ask ourselves is this the proper mix? is this the proper collection of players that's going to win, that's going to compete at a world-cup level? >> the u.s. needed egypt to beat italy to stay alive. egypt with the corner kick. egypt

alexi lalas looks ahead for the u.s. >> the u.s.ded egypt to beat italy to stay alive. 40th minute, egypt with the corner kick and the cross goes to mohammad homos. he scores with a header and egypt strikes first. later on check out gennaro gattuso. vincenso jaquinta here. denied again by el hadari. the u.s. avoids elimination for now. >> the nfl suspending donte' stallworth indefinitely without pay. stallworth pleaded guilty to killing a man while driving intoxicated. he began serving a 30-day sentence tuesday for manslaughter. he reached a monetary settlement with the family of the 59-year-old construction worker. >> in 2 1/2 minutes on espnews, it's elimination time in the college world series. how one team responded in grand fashion. and in six minutes, why rafael nadal may not be able to defend his title at wimbledon. stay current with espnews. you can't even tell me anything about this wine. ah, it tastes like sonoma valley... no, my friend, these grapes are very... sierra foothills... foothills, ha. idaho. with fields of the

last week i spoke with espn's soccer analyst and former national team member, alexi lalas, about the team's world cup chances, kind of shrugged his shoulders as if to say, hit or miss. he added, "it depends who they play." now, that restriction doesn't seem to apply. it's amazing how a great story in sports can make us forget we might not be a huge fan. i'll be watching this afternoon. please join us again next sunday for another edition of "the sports reporters." we're on each sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. eastern time right here on espn. and on sirius satellite radio, channel 121 at 9:30.

alex alexis toqueville rode on what tempers the tyranny of the majority.in that there was a section of the juror in which she observes the jury is a mode of the sovereignty of the people. says the institution of the jury places the real direction of society in the hands of the governed or in a portion of them. not in those who govern. he describes the system of the jury along with universal suffrage as the two equally powerful means of making the majority reign. he describes the jury as the most energetic means, the most energetic means of making the people reign. he observed that all sovereign whose have wanted to draw the source of their power from themselves and and to direct society instead of allowing it to be directed by itself have destroyed the institution of the jury or have innervated it. i know that it is an article of faith within the republican party that the institution of the jury is a problem for america. i think they are deeply, deeply wrong. i think it is as much a political institution that allows the little guy a chance as it is a judic

before the war, there was a famous ambassador by the name of hugh alexis johnson, a legendary ambassador to japan. he was one of the founders, and he and dean atchison were very clear that the world is round and the atlantic off the right to recognize that much earlier than most trans-atlantic organizations. so that is the history. number two, there is the mission of renewing the atlantic community for 21st century global challenges. it is what we have long had a successful asia program for many years. recently opened up a south asia center and are launching a center for partnership. this evening is under the international security program and the director, damon will sum. so there's the reality. with the situation now. nato reaching out to develop global partnerships with japan, australia, south korea. asian powers playing a key role in stabilizing afghanistan. the u.s. and eu working together to engage china and india on global climate change. the g-20 bringing together key asian and european partners to address the global on a crisis. if north korea, i do not have to say much about th

. >> i'm alexis, a work at cisco. for every one of the room who has come before me, i want to thank you for what you have done because not every day but most days i feel just like an employee and not a female at work. starting your career out, did you have hopes of being a ceo for what this following your heart and you accidently fell into what? >> that is a great question. no, i never had hopes for being a ceo and it never crossed my mind. i was trained to be a lawyer and that is what i intended to be and this was a happy accident. i'm lucky. this is a family business, so i had advantages that other people don't have. but it was really one thing that led to another. i was a lawyer and then i thought i would try my hand at advertising, and i actually love it. one thing led to another. >> you just mention a video from "the post" won an emmy. my question is what kind of special value can you provide competing with other milton media like television -- obviously they have more experience, or they know how to do that kind

all companies private and public profit and non-profit luedke alexis to your mailbox into your business. which leads to another point. nothing, and this is something i think that is used, has to be used as a scare tactic since it is so far from the truth that there is no other reason for it. nothing in the bill is being considered in congress right now or suggested by president obama wove require that anyone choose the public provider. you get, if you were just love blue cross or you look united health care, you love cigna, you can stay with that. there is no reason whatsoever he would have to change. honestly if i were in the middle of chemotherapy right now the idea of changing anything that seem to be working for me might scare me. you don't need to be afraid of the public provider. anybody can choose it, and anyone can say i don't want it. are choices don't get smaller. are choices get larger at least by one. and what is mark, the market works the way it should, your choices become less expensive too which is pretty important right now for a middle-class family has an average income

one of the side alexis is is ruining our public higher education system and all the states. governor sir sitting there looking for ways to put money into research universities, community colleges and estate interests of the and have no money left because of their paying for medicaid yet we're coming along saying here's another huge bill for medicaid so that's the aventine a consequence of expanding the medicaid program and then finally on the medicaid program just because you have a card doesn't mean you get the care. there's got to be a primary care dr., there's got to be somebody there to take care of you and 40 percent of doctors nationally don't provide an will serve us to medicaid patients because of the low reimbursement rates so it is hard for me to imagine why would you even consider expanding health care that we all want to do through such a failed government program whether so many other better alternatives. on on just one other aspect the employer mandate. of this is not a time to be putting a tax on employers in america. in the middle of a recession when we have

who write books about america, but unquestionablely i think the best -- best-record such book is alexis de tocqueville's book about democracy in america, when the young frenchman came to this country and wandered across this running into davie rocket, all sorts of people. when he wrote about what he thought might be long-term the greatest danger to the american democracy, he said he thought it might be the tyranny of the majority. he was afraid that in our type of system, what might happen was the majority would get control and run over the minority. so the united states senate was one of the institutions creelted to avoid that. stow when we get a situation where we have only 40 or 41 senators or 57 or 56 or more democratic senators and it's been the other way -- and it will be again -- when i first came to the senate, we had 55 republicans -- the minority always has a right to make sure that there's no tyranny of the majority so a vote "yes" at 5:30 is a vote to obstruct the right of senators to represent the people who hired them to come up here and offer an amendment and speak for th
