senator collins claims neither of those defenses. still claims even now that she's doing her part to keep the court pro choice against all this evidence. responding to kavanaugh's new opinion, she cites this as a, quote, very careful dissent, the idea he would still repeal roe is, quote, absurd. is it? we asked senator collins' office whether point blank she views kavanaugh's ruling as a limitation on abortion access which it is. she did not reply to those questions today. but if last fall anyone was unclear how then judge kavanaugh would approach abortion laws on the supreme court, the answer is now clear. facts matter. our report tonight does not in any way pretend to address all the strongly held personal, moral, and religious beliefs on abortion in the senator across our nation. but it does reveal that in this important debate full of people in power and out of power standing up for their views, taking risks for their views, fighting for years for their views, senator susan collins' record reveals herself to be on an unusual isla

collins: thank you, mr. speaker. today i rise in strong opposition to h.r. 8. the so-called bipartisan background checks act. this is bad legislation that fails to make anyone safer in any regard. i have been listening here and sitting on the floor for just the last few minutes and listening to those who came up and were happy about this bill coming forward today and they mentioned many acts of mass violence and situations that have happened. the sad part about it is they claim this is the answer and the first step. the actuality is it's at best a side step and may actually be a step backwards. and will not do what is being claimed to do. all this legislation will do is burden law-abiding citizens wishing to exercise their second amendment rights, including defending themselves from the gun toting criminals this bill does nothing to combat. h.r. 8 foolishly presumes criminals will submit themselves to background checks. ourmans -- members who support -- are members who support this bill deluthsal enough to think that

collins, is a man of faith. i was in the committee room senior member on the crime subcommittee, as we were trying to deliberate his concern. very vital concern. one that i have. to love people with disabilities. to love them and treat them with dignity. the language in this legislation says that as best we could at the time. because it puts the language adjudicated. determined by some objective body that you have a health problem that deals with a mental concern. so the question has to be if it is not workable, you pass the bill. and all of us have made a commitment to work through this process and to give dignity to every person, including a veteran. but at the same time would you want to have a situation that happened with dylan rooff a convicted felon who would grab the gun in two days and can killed nine innocent people, or killed people in various other places. the chair: the gentlelady's time has expired. mr. nadler: an additional 30 seconds. ms. jackson lee: from columbine, to you aurora, to virginia tec

commissioner collins? >> commissioner collins: i just wanted to know if you're gathering data from families or meeting with families about how they feel in terms of feeling welcomed or safe in school? and i know now is a time i'm hearing from teachers who work with newcomer students and just immigrant students -- you know, there's a lot of things that be scared about, and i want to make sure that the schools feel safe. i was just wondering if you're hearing, you know, specific feedback or have any recommendations for our schools and how we welcome migrant students? >> personally, i think having that conversation at home is really important. our parents come in and often ask how do we talk to our kids about this when we're really scared ourselves? and they're showing that fear to their kids. what we try to encourage the families is that this is a safe city, and we reiterate that to our students. i work with the high school students, and they have an idea of what's going on better than the little ones. then,

you heard what doctor collins said.ty much a hard line that we shouldn't really be messing around with embryonic genes. were doing embryonic gene editing to address potential diseases people might get such as hiv. what's your view? >> it's interesting. i think broadly scientist in society at large have decided that, as doctor collins said, that gene editing of adult human cells is fair game as long as the benefits and risk. gerry: and we are doing that. >> i think there is less consensus around human genome editing. the case in china represents one example of that. interestingly, there is an advisory body called the national academy of sciences engineering and medicine, they have put out a report in 2017 about human gene line editing. what might be surprising, they put out some recommendations that basically didn't say, never say never. basically they said that human gene nine editing could potentially proceed ethically under our set of very specific circumstances. those circumstances the edit would be to prevent seriou

collins. you've introduced a bill called the mass violence prevention act that creates a fusion center focused on preventing violence through proactive information sharing. was that something you thought of offering as an amendment to this bill? >> we have. we understand, and we've offered several things in committee but i want to talk about that as being an issue. ares the stories that forgotten, the single shootings. what we see in chicago, atlanta and some of our cities. thatssue is not the laws are there that would stop this, it is that they are not being prosecuted. think about this for a federal second. law already bans transfer of a firearm forale to a anyone known or believed to be prohibited from possessing firearms. it already is against the law for anyone with an ffl, federal firearms licensee from acquiring a gun from outside their state of residence. already against the law. already against the law to acquire a rifle or shotgun without an f.f.l. outside their state of residence. a

collins, i am generally aware of mr. orr being questions being raised by his -- >> know what you know, and using your past experience and prior knowledge, do you believe mr. orr was operating outside normal and appropriate channels in which he was operating until, which has been publicly reported? >> mr. collins, this is a very important question for many people, both in this body and the general public, the office of inspector general is currently looking at the carter page fisa application. >> which is very much a concern. >> and it's also being reviewed at the same time by mr. john huber, the u.s. attorney from utah, who was asked to conduct a review of certain matters. so together with the fact that any situation with regard mr. orr's employment would be a confidential human resources process, i just am unable to talk any more about mr. orr and his involvement in any matters that could be subject to an investigation. >> as we now have at part to our play and finding out you may be subpoenaed to come back and do a dep

collins: i think -- you want to try, mr. chairman? mr. nadler: i think some prosecutions are happening but -- mr. burgess: let me just expand upon that. o.i.g. report from a couple of ears ago, not too many years ago, in the last administration, but of people that were known to have lied on background check, a number of rosecutions of that subset was infinitesimal. it was startlingly small. so if we pass this law and it were to be signed by the president, which i don't think will happen, how does that change? mr. nadler: well, i think we would agree that there ought to be more prosecutions. if the numbers are as small as you say, there's certainly going to be more prosecutions. i would point out that appropriations for the a.t.f. have gone down. mr. burgess: and yet, if i may just reclaim my time for a moment, the availability of funding through the fix nix bill did in fact increase some of those grants. mr. nadler: it increased somewhat but the fact is there's much too small -- you know, the prosecutors have a lot of things to do. maybe

commissioner collins? >> commissioner collins: yeah. actually, we had a really engaging meeting? we only had one topic that really fits into a lot of what we're talking about, and a lot of the programs we can't really have unless we have qualified teachers, and for some of those programs, it's harder to recruit. so it was interesting hearing what the district was doing in ferms of both the personnel department, working with the multilingual department to reach out to native speakers and help them get into training programs so that they can fill some of these gaps that we have? and so that was interesting, and also just seeing the diversity of language programs in our district was amazing? we also learned about the challenges in hiring arabic and vietnamese teachers for our programs, and it seems to be holding us back from fully implementing programs and also especially in the middle schools but also for vietnamese, as well. so we were looking at ways that central office could better partner with community based agencies to help expand our capacity in both recruiting teachers and

the attack would be led by general joe collins' seventh corps. here you can see the hurtgen forest outlined in the green in the center of the map. fifth corps on collins' right was to clear out the hurtgen forest in order to gain maneuver room and to prevent any counter attack into collins' rank flank from the forest. it measured about 11 miles by five miles. it's a little smaller than the district of columbia. some of the hurtgen was meticulously groomed for logging, but much of it was wild, dense and steep. it was a brothers' grimm forest. this was looking toward the village of comerscheid. they compared this to the wilderness of virginia. one g.i. wrote, "i never saw a woods so thick as the hurtgen." it turned out to be the worst place of any. it had been incorporated into the siegfried line defenses in 1938 with bunkers, interlocking kill zones and thousands of mines, the german mortar crew. in one three-mile stretch, a mine had been planted by the germans every eight paces. during the initial maneuverings the u.s. ninth division tried to out

become a campaign promise and he's determined to invoke extraordinary powers and you had senator collins on earlier and i happen to agree with her of that so this is something that is straining the relationship between congress it is misappropriating you know the role of congress because it is congress's power under the constitution to appropriate dollars to run the government is not up to the president to do that he may invoke executive powers from time to time but there has to be an emergency and the courts will decide where there's an emergency but i find i think the facts on the ground bear it out that it is a problem that we have to address we need to address it on a bipartisan basis and i believe the majority of the american people feel the same way but to simply declare an executive emergency to build this wall i think is really subverting and undermining the role of congress which is the preeminent role for the congress to bear under article one of the constitution and good so can you thank you so much for joining us i will come and thank you. sports in the pond as they go up on

marie collins is herself a survivor. she was abused by a priest as a teenager growing up in ireland. in 2014, she he was hand-picked by pope francis to sit on a committee dedicated to the issue. but when faced with resistance to her recommendations from within the vatican, three years later, maria quit and now she advocates for change from the outside. and she's joining me from dublin. marie collins, welcome to the program. you have just listened to our report on the abuse of nuns within the order of st. john in france. you've heard the pope has acknowledged that this went on. you heard cardinal cupich talk about the important and good intentions of the pope in calling this conference. i wondered just your commentary on what you expect to come out of this conference after these -- after this gathering of cardinals and bishops. >> well, i think as you said earlier, the pope has been playing down the expectations for this meeting, but that's not enough. we've had a lot of talk about what needs to be done, what should be do

. >> president cook: commissioner collins. >> commissioner collins: thank you so much for your presentation. i appreciate the parents reports. i would like a copy and i think it would be helpful to come back to it when i rereflect on the language experience in schools. i guess one of questions i had is around representation? the delac represents a lot of communities, and each community has some of its own recommendations and challenges, and i'm seeing chinese and spanish, and those are the largest groups, but i'm seeing other groups. how are those represented in the delac and how do we gain representation for arabic, viet nammese, and all the other languages in the district. >> thank you. every school with 21 or more english learners has an english learners advisory committee where they send a representative to the english learners district advisory meeting. so that said, that brings different representatives from different sites into james denman where we hold that community forum, and that is all inclusive of many different languages, and we usually have up wards of 100 attendees at that

lauren: let's talk about the dollars and cents, collin. it surprised me in the state of the union the president didn't put a dollar figure on the at of money. my question to you is is he willing to accept less than $5.7 billion? i want to draw your attention to something that congressman kwiar from a border town in texas, he said we're not going to do $5.7 billion for a wall, no way, but did say he supports enhanced barriers, something like a levy wall along the rio grande. do you think democrats will do more here, will support some sort of barrier and do you think republicans will take less than $5.7 billion? >> it's possible certainly that democrats might support some sort of enhanced border security is probably what they would call it, some sort of funding level below the $5.7 billion and not all directed towards some sort of physical barrier. but i'm not sure if the president is going to accept that. i mean, he's kind of drawn this line in the sand over $5.7 billion, over a wall. he really remains the x factor here and for anything to

>> one political point on this, remember susan collins and some of the pro-choice republicans who --usan collins, specifically, decided to vote for kavanaugh in the end, and she argued strenuously that her private conversations with kavanaugh, her review of his record, led her to believe that she -- that he would be on the other side of decisions like this. and i think there are going to be a lot of questions for susan collins about whether she was correct or not in that judgment, but it also says that there have been previous abortion cases that didn't come down this way, but it does suggests that roberts is not a sure vote to overturn roe v. wade. he's been slightly more nuanced on this than i think some people expected. but watch people talking about susan collins in the coming days and her judgment about kavanaugh and what this decision says about that decision. >> interesting. renato, i also want to get your take on what you think of the special counsel's investigation. mueller's team says the august 2016 meeting between the trump campaign manager paul manafort, his russian asso
