berger: 90,000 people. in the span of 20 years is more than quadruples the number of people in prison. another 20 years after that, 15 years after that, california now has 163,000 people in prison. that is more than whole countries have. today it has drop down a little bit. but this is a massive shift. they are not just sort of cramming people into the rafters of the prisons. if you are going to expand the government's ability to incarcerate people, you have to build new prisons. about 10 prisons throughout the state in george jackson and angela davis is time. today there are more than 30. plus various jails and federal prisons and so on. the state of california needs to build all of these prisons really quickly. we think about the kind of demands that the panthers are making against the state of california. that sncc 's making. how state resources should be spent. also a massive prison construction project. the most ambitious prison construction program in world history. the soledad brothers case becomes a

berger referred to. for more than two dozen years we have received requests from emerging democracies to help them start their own debate. the reason is that they have watched hours. they see them as central to the democratic process. they believe it's amazing that americans think they have the right to expect political candidates to exchange opposing views about their positions on major issues. they think it is astonishing this can take place in a civil and fair manner and that anyone who would like to watch or listen can. the fact of international network is the happy result of connectedness. not that long ago small governmental organizations from jamaica and nigeria come a argentina and bosnia, sierra leone, ukraine and 20 other countries would never have connected to make a difference in their quest for stronger democracy. keep their hopes in mind as you navigate the next few months. they aspire to democracy is open as ours. they aspire to elections that do not get rescheduled at the whim of a candid

berger, do you have any comment? >> i thank my colleague -- i think my colleague, kim, is right on with it. but i'd also like to say i think there needs to be more effort at coordination. this is a national public health problem, and veterans are a big part of it. we can focus on that. but what's important is the v.a. needs to take the leadership role in this, in coordinating this. they've got practices, they've got standards, etc. do it. i know it's going to burden harold's shop and dr. mccarthy's shop. let's find the money so that we can bolster the resources there to do it. let's do it. >> mr. chairman, i yield back. >> dr. wenstrup. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i appreciate you all being here today. i found it interesting today when you talked about that number 22. we've heard that over and over and over again. and with my limited psychology background which is an undergraduate degree, negativity over and over again is not helping in this situation. created awareness, which was very much needed, but it doesn't hel

[laughter] >> a majority of the supreme court upheld the disciplinary action, although i agreed that frazer did not necessarily have a constitutional right to deliver his suggestive speech at a school assembly, i thought it clear that he had not received adequate notice that he might be punished for doing so. the school agreed that frazer had violated the rule against, quote, disruptive conduct, unquote, but in my view the general prohibition was insufficient to notify frazer that his speech would list disciplinary consequences particularly as there was no evidence that speech has caused any material di

we have a fellow at the program on extremism, jan berger, who looked at english language accounts over a month period to figure out if takedown was effective or not, and here's the takeaway with a caveat. they were effective in terms of reducing the number of followers that the person had when they came back, particularly on twitter there's the first part. here's the second part that we should also keep in mind. there's a built-in system for resiliency into the m. so an individual like terence mcneal who's arrested for terrorism-related charges last fall, when he started watching him, he was lone wolf 7. by the time he was arrested, he was lone wolf 21. every time he came back as 8,9, 10, the eye us -- there's an isis echo chamber that has essentially shot out accounts. they build in resiliency. they say here is lone wolf 8, he used to be lone wolf 7, everyone follow him. we know we're going to get kicked off for violating terms of service, but're going to help other people get back on. from a research perspective, you clearly want more data as much as you possibly can. it's clearly a

that was reflected by the dominant academic voices like robert berger who talked about the political branches. legacy part of scalia's is that we don't think so much that way anymore. was the caselson of the independent council where all of the judges were deferring to court and congress and the president and creating this statute. it was 8-1. he said, no, that is not what the constitution says because the constitution vests the executive power to the president. it says -- it does not say some of the executive power. it means all of the executive power and that includes the power to control independent counsel which the statute denied. what he, what morrison stood for for him was the idea not just that the court should not interfere with the political branches when the constitution does not warrant, but that it should interfere when it does warrant because we live in a regime of limited government, limited by the constitution, and that limit is enforced by the court. so, his role further court was not the restrained role that previous conservatives had emphasized, but it was an activ
