>> let me say that the marine corps emphatically supports the move of roughly 8,000 marines to guam. we -- my title 10 responsibility as the commandant is to examine it in its full measure and to hopefully resolve any issues that we may have. we think we're getting great cooperation from the department of defense in looking at those issues, most of them are internal. the move to guam is going to happen, and we are going to be there on that island for some time to come. we're in the process of trying to make sure that it's a great duty station, that our families have a quality of life, that we have the opportunity and in fact the ability, the responsibility to continue to train marines out there and be able to respond in the event of a national crisis. so it's been reported otherwise, unfortunately, because the full text of what we say as a corps is that we say it, but we want to work out the issues. we're emphatically behind the move to guam. >> you mentioned to the senate that it was going to be more expensive than originally predicted and that there were some delays, some thshes --

and vote no emphatically on this thing. this is a very important bipartisan issue. mr. burton: the chairman won't yield for one question? the speaker pro tempore: all time has expired. the question is on the motion to recommit. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair the noes have it. mr. burton: on that, i request a recorded vote. the speaker pro tempore: a recorded vote is requested. those in favor say aye. will rise. a sufficient number having arisen, a recorded vote is ordered. members will record their votes by electronic device. this is a 15-minute vote. pursuant to clause of rule 20, the chair will reduce to five minutes the time of any electronic vote on the question of passage.

and he said emphatically that to his knowledge there was no conspiracy of which don siegelman was a knowing member. now, i followed the law and held that the government had failed to prove the first elm of a conspiracy charge, namely the existence of the conspiracy. and although unnecessary to reach the second element, it like wise failed to prove that mr. siegelman knowingly became a member of any conspiracy. so i announced my decision and to my utter amazement in view of the remaining substantive charges against mr. siegelman and mr. henry, the government moved to dismiss the case in its entirety. and i granted the motion and dismissed it with prejudice. pare parenthetically, dr. bobos case had been severed because he wanted to appeal my failure to dismiss the charges against him on double jeopardy grounds and i didn't want to unduly delay the trial of the case. 11th circuit upheld my decision against him and there was a subsequent appeal by the government of my exclusion of evidence based on an alleged violation of the competitived y by -- bid law, but despite the fact that i was right,

fresh from winning an emphatic vote from the american people. and he's taking the country into the area where people are scared to go, and people were polled about reagan were squeezy about policies but love the him. host: we have calls, and this is from north carolina, this is t.i.watkins. sir, you will her an echo unless you hit the mute. caller: ok, george will, i am one of your fans down here . a few years ago you wrote an article what you thought of colin powell, and you took him apart. it was so good to see that and everything he had done wrong. i would like you to comment on that. guest: i don't remember the column, but i remember having a distinct difference with mr. powell and the middle east. and colin powell is someone that the republicans should have in their party. an enormous distinction and achievement and strong feelings. i am a much more conservative republican than he is. but i am what they call a big-tent republican. and wil'mton where my favorite is from. host: where the government contested distention. you wrote a strong col

she made it very emphatic there's a judge -- as a judge you follow that one law. there is only one law. we all know that. she said ultimately and completely a judge has to follow the law no matter what their upbringing has been. that is the kind of fair and impartial judging that the american people expect. that is respect for the rule of law. that is the kind of judge she has been. judge sotomayor is extraordinarily well equipped to serve on the nation's highest court. to borrow the phrase that the first lady used last week, not only do i believe that judge sotomayor is prepared it to serve all americans on the supreme court, i believe the country's more than ready to see this accomplished hispanic woman do just that. this is an historic nomination and it's an occasion for the senate and our great nation to come together. this is a time for us to come together. the process is another step toward the american people regaining confidence in their judiciary. our independent judiciary is considered to be the envy of the world. less abysmal than the other two branches

he testified so emphatically, as to the rule of the congress, being dominant, and this was, as a judge, you may begin to transgressing to the area of making the law. those are the issues i will be addressing to judge sotomayor, during the confirmation hearings. i will not ask her how she will decide a case, but i think that it is fair, to ask about the standing, is this the justice standard of a rational basis, or the congruent and proportionate? the standard of recent vintage, having been applied in cases where it was very difficult to understand the conclusions of the court. if you take tennessee vs. lane, where one article of the act was up held, and contrasted with the case where this was stricken -- justice scalia, in the argument, took issue with congress on a 98-0 decision, suggesting that this was not carefully thought through. this reminds me of the 98-0 vote that he got on his confirmation. and the many unanimous decisions of the supreme court, there are a group of cases where the just as determined the cases 9-0. if this legislative body, is voting 98-0, in favor of renewing

. >> johnny: of the managers you played for who was the most emphatic -- swung on and popped up. gonzalez will have a play on it. 1 pitch, steve mccatty comes out and whatever he said to john lannan worked. we go to the bottom of the 5th. it seems i've got three times the bills i used to. and they're getting in the way of things i'd like to do. with the money bar, i can move my money around instantly, so when there's more bills than usual, it's no problem. and i use the wish list to put any extra money aside for anything i want. being in control of my money feels good. introducing the virtual wallet from pnc, a high-definition, online view of your money. pnc. leading the way. pnc blp slap    >> johnny: welcome back to nationals park. the nats need sd runs. they trail the reds 2-0. the bats kind of silent. >> rob: it must have been a heck of a scouting report over there in the cincinnati locker room. they have kind of had the nationals number but that is going to happen. peaks and valleys, you will have the slumps as far as the entire

and especially the opinion of judge -- chief justice roberts, which testified so emphatically at his confirmation hearing as to the role of the congress being dominant. and it was really, as he put it -- quote -- "as a judge, that you may be beginning to transgress into the area of making a wall." so, those are issues which i'm going to be addressing to judge sotomayor in the course of the confirmation hearings. i'm not going to ask her how she's going to decide a case. that's outside the bound. but i think it is fair to inquire as to what is the standard. is it the justice harlan standard of rational basis? or is it a standard of congruent and proportionally? a standard which is of recent vintage in the city of bernie case, that having been applied in cases where it is very, very difficult to understand the conclusions of the court. if you take tennessee v. lee, where one article of the americans with disability act was upheld and contrast it with the garrett case where it was stricken. justice scalia, in the argument of the voting rights case, took issue with the congress on a 98-0

in answer to the question is there a balance of powers, my response is an emphatic and resounding yes. it is so lopsided that i think the president is off the charts. every president has been, even though some residents have been weaker and the less popular. overall, i think the presidency has been very powerful notwithstanding mr. cheney's plan that it was crippled. will congress for the people ever demanded restoration of the balance of power between the branches as the founders had intended? i think the answer to that question will have to wait for another symposium as we look further this presidency down the road. for now, i think we can assume the the democratic congress is content to defer, acquiesce to their party's activist president. if he succeeds, they succeed, and they know that. if he does not succeed, the more research independence as a co- equal branch. >> thank you very much. publicly the panelists open for questions after that a. -- after that note. the assumption is often made that the presidency has been advantaged in the media and age. a camera can focus more readi

is an engaging, attractive, intelligent, thoughtful, bold, interesting man, fresh from winning an emphatic vote from the american people. and what he is doing boldly and intelligently is taking the country in a direction the country is squeezey about. enormous expansion of government into the private sector. in fact, erasing the distinction between public and private sectors. so the country's simply sensible about this. during the ray began presidency, democrats were driven mad by the fact that they po polled and said, what do you think of reagan on this, this, and this, and the country was always queasy about the policies, but liked reagan. host: our phones are ringing off the hook for you. let's begin with a call from wilmington, north carolina. this is t.i., is that correct? caller: that's right. host: you're on the air. you know, you're going to be hearing an echo unless you hit the mite button on your tv. what's your question for george will. caller: george will, i'm one of your fans down here. guest: i appreciate that. caller: a few years ago you wrote an article about what you essen

she was very emphatic that as a judge you follow that one law. she said ultimately and completely a judge has to follow the law no matter what their upbringing has been. that is the kind of fair and impartial law making that the people expect. that is the kind of judge she has been. judge sotomayor is extremely equipped to serve on the nation's highest court. tomorrow the phrase that the l first lady used lafflet week, not only do i believe judge sotomayor is prepared to serve on the supreme court, i believe the country is more than readyy to see this -- more than ready to see this accomplished hispanic woman do just thafment this is -- that. this is an occasion for the senate and our great nation to come together. this is a time for us to come together. the process is another step in the judiciary regaining that judiciary. our independent judiciary is the envy of the world. the judiciary is a vital part of the infrastructure that knits our nation together under the rule of law. every time i walk up the steps into the supreme court, i look at the

jeff kellogg with the emphatic strike three call. could you tear your rotator can you have with -- you could tear your rotator cuff with all that movement. >> gary: calm down now. >> jim: look at it. >> gary: aubrey huff will take it for a strike. aubrey, a single. flied out and grounded out. aubrey just getting over the 200 mark against lefties. 202 now -- .202 now. that will be taken down low. one ball, one strike count. >> jim: the one thing that feliciano does since nobody on, a lot of times he won't even come set. so, he almost though he's from the stretch position which means he's sideways to home plate, he doesn't stop his hands. it's not a balk. if it was a runner on, it would be f you're trying to time him, it's just another little nuance that makes him more effective. let's see if he actually pauses. yeah, he does this time. sometimes he won't. >> gary: 1-2 delivery will miss inside. orioles offense which had such a dreadful first days of june came back against atlanta over the weekend with eight runs saturday and 11 on sun

lower part of the strike zone that was really runge up and that one does and it always seems to be emphatichat the umpire wants to ring somebody up at the most critical part of a ball game. >> and rick eckstein, we haven't seen that much, you know. >> i love him. >> he is an honest coach and when he sees a coac

so in the answer to the question is there in a balance of powers my response is an emphatic yes. it is so lopsided that i think the president is off the charts, every president has been even though sometimes presidents have been weaker and on popular but over all the presidency has been pretty powerful notwithstanding mr. cheney's assessment that somehow it was crippled after the nixon and ford administrations. the question should be well congress and the people demand restoration of balance of power between the branches as the founders intended? i think the answer to that will have to await another symposium as we look further at this presidency down the road but for now and this we can assume the democratic congress is content to defer and acquiesce in most of the policies proposed by their party's activist president. if he succeeds they succeed and they know it. if he does not succeed they will reassert their independence as a coequal branch sometime in the future. thank you. him i thank you very much. i would like to leave the panelists open to questions following on not note
