if you read more of the barnett case, it seems to argue for the proposition that a student cannot beorced to do something that violates his or her conscience. on that basis, might she have a case, her conscientious was being violated? >> it would be. i think in that case, it was talking about constant assignment to the student. here is an isolated assignment. by the way, she was given an alternate assignment. if you don't want to do the pledge to mexico, write an essay. she didn't hand in her essay. so she was given an alternate path. she refused to do the essay. that's where she got into trouble, when she didn't do the alternate. i think in that case, it was about a continuous requirement. >> gregg: let me throw up the school issue add following statement. quote, just to be clear action all students in our district recite the pledge of allegiance to the united states of america every morning of every school day. that's the spokesperson who is probably not aware of the supreme court decision. that's what they're saying. look, they seem to be saying this is being blown out of proporti

district i represent in north texas, oil and gas production from a geologic formation known as the barnett shale has yielded significant economic benefits and significant employment as a result. in fact, when the nation entered into a recession in december of 2007, constituents of my district basically read about it in the newspapers because it wasn't until 12, 13, 14 months later when the price of natural gas came down so low that we felt a recession in texas. let's utilize that energy that's at our disposal. life without energy is cold, brutal, and short. we have the ability to produce energy in our own shores and one of the things that i think we can look to the ryan budget for leadership is allowing that energy to be produced on federal lands. i thank the gentleman for the time. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentlelady from new york. ms. slaughter: mr. speaker, i have no further requests for time. may i inquire from my colleague if he has further requests? mr. woodall: i do not have further requests. ms. slaughter: i'm prepared to close. t

some of this has to do with whether or not you presume liberty -- randy barnett's written about this, "restoring the constitution," -- whether you have a presumption of liberty or whether you have a presumption of constitutionality. and that may sound a little esoteric. what does that mean? it's whether or not when they pass a law up here, you just presume it's fine because it's the law and the judges should give deference to it because it was a law. so this is kind of confusing because you think, oh, i'm arguing for judicial activism. in a way, i kind of am. because if the congress usurps the constitution, if the congress takes away from your rights, the judges should stop them in their tracks. i'm not arguing for deference to the legislature. i'm arguing for deference to the constitutionmenconstitution. and so i'm also arguing that there is a presumption of liberty. this goes back to the -- the -- the way we want to look at the 14th amendment. the 14th amendment says that we have unenumerated rights. it says that basically, you know, or -- i guess by extension, when you go from the
