she'll say oh, because miss blum isn't here, some other bizarre excuse. the bottom line is you broke the law. the district attorney said so, and now, you want to go back, and you want to hang it on the sunshine ordinance task force, like they're the problem. and you want to get rid of the sunshine ordinance task force like they're the problem. the problem is not with the task force, it's with you, because the law says you're supposed to enforce what they find. the good government guide, as i pointed out to you earlier says you're supposed to make your decisions based on the evidence and the law, but when we had my hearing last month, you didn't even look at the law. the task force did. that's why the task force ruled 11 times that in the minutes means in the minutes, because they read the law. but you don't want to read the law because it results in you doing something that you don't want to do. you don't like my comments, and the reason i fought for eight years to get the 150 word summaries is because i was tired of people who didn't like the comments ju

blum: -- senator blumenthal: thank you, mr. chairman. a lot comes down to unintended consequences of this law and one of the chief unintended consequences seems to involve the term substantial likelihood . would you agree? ms. ashley: yes. also the word immediate and also death, bodily harm. senator blumenthal: i was going to come to those issues as well. ms. ashley: sorry. senator blumenthal: thank you for pointing it out. under the law we are discussing today, the d.e.a. can shut down drug shipments immediately whenever it concludes there is a, quote-unquote, substantial likelihood. failure to do so will result in some harm, including the harm of illegal drug abuse or other kinds of harms. i wonder if you could give us an idea of how the d.e.a. defines the term substantial likelihood and also some examples of situations where the d.e.a. would want to shut down drug shipments but it does not believe that there is a substantial likelihood. some real-world experience as to what the definition of the term is and how it has in effect dimini
