it sounds to me like he is taking a page from johnnie cochran in the o.j.ontra remarks if it doesn't fit, you must acquit. and jose baez's mantra is something is wrong here, something is wrong here. which by the way was borrowed from cindy anthony's 911 call when she says, something is wrong. it smells like a dead body in the damn car. he took that and turned it into this mantra. he has used words like a fraud. the state's case is a fraud. he has used words like shady. so he is pointing the finger of blame just like johnnie cochran did, the garbage in, garbage out saying this is shoddy police work. and he does have a point. according to the prosecution, there were 84 chloroform searches and they very convincingly argued, there was only one chloroform search. and there is also the question about why the residue of the heart shaped sticker, the outline disappeared from the duct tape when the prosecution was processing it. there are a number of thing that went wrong. he really went quite a distance and even accusing the police of lying. it is very much like th

cochran: mr. president, it's a distinct honor and pleasure to join senator leahy in welcoming our guests from the united kingdom to the united states senate. this is a tradition that we have really enjoyed and benefited from, the close opportunity to talk and discuss issues of mutual interest and concerns. and we -- i think we reflect credit on the good relationship of both our countries in that process. it's an honor to join him in welcoming them at this time. mr. leahy: mr. president, i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. durbin: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: i ask unanimous consent the quorum call be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: mr. president, it was ten years ago that my office was contacted in chicago, illinois, a young woman named teresa lee, who is korean by birth, had been part of something known as the merit music program in chicago. it's an

i also thank senator -- chairman inouye and vice chairman cochran, as well as leader reid and minority leader mcconnell for their support and assistance in moving this bill forward. the milcon-v.a. appropriations bill provides crucial investments in infrastructure for our military, including barracks and family housing, mission critical training, and operational facilities, schools and hospitals, and child-care and support centers. it also fulfills the nation's promise to our vets by providing the resources needed for their medical care and benefits. mr. president, the bill before the senate today totals $142 billion, of which $2.5 billion -- $72.5 billion is discretionary spending. we're all mindful of the severe economic problems facing this nation and this bill reflects that reality. it is $1.25 billion below the budget request and is $618 million below the fy 2011 enacted level. i can assure my colleagues that there are no congressional earmarks in the bill. as always, protecting essential services for vets tops my list of priorities. with an aging population of vets requiring incr
