for the district court by president bush in 2008 when my friend and former colleague, senator gordon smith, led the nomination process. i supported at that time the recommendation of judge hernandez. unfortunately, the 110th congress was unable to act upon his nomination before adjourning. in the 111th congress i recommended judge hernandez nomination to president obama, and i'm very pleased that senator merkley, who has joined me here in the united states senator, has been a strong supporter of judge hernandez as well. and i was very pleased when president obama announced that he too, like president bush, thought it was important for judge hernandez to serve on the federal bench. one of the reasons that leaders from both political parties support judge hernandez is that throughout his judicial career, he has demonstrated a special affin ity -- affinity for creative solutions. he implemented an innovative domestic violence program to aggressively pursue offenders and created a new program for mentally ill defendants which judge hernandez continues to oversee. with a tremendous record of pu

. >> my name is gordon smith, just a citizen living in the washington area for a long period of time.this is for the whole panel. and i, honestly, didn't find a lot of difference in your opinions. i thought they were or somewhat close because no one said let's get rid of social security, and i think that's the yin and yang of it. anyway, i went to work when i was 21 years old, and i'm now 78. and i still go to work, and i still, i collect social security, but i still have to pay -- they still take it away from me. i don't understand that. but if i, i calculated once if all my social security payments had gone into the stock market -- not me making selections, but just the average of the market -- i would have made 6.9% in real returns over that period of time. i would have -- now i get about 20,000 a year in social security. if i'd gone to the other program, i would have had $3 .8 million, and if you amortize it over the rest of my life span, i could take down $305,000 a year. as opposed to 20,000. and if market fell in half, i would still have 1.9 million, and i'd have 152,000 a year

gordon out of contention. a record 16 cautions on the day including one with four laps to go. smith tangles with clint bowyer, ryan newman and denny hamlin and sets up a green/white checkered version. after two restarts and the last one standing after a wild day that saw a record 74 laid changes, trevor bayne who turned 20 yesterday hangs on to win the daytona 500 and becomes the youngest champ in the race's 53-year history. >> this is unbelievable. our first 500, are you kidding me? to win our first one is incredible. >> i can't put into word what is it means to me and what it means to him, because he's worked so hard since he was little, you know, to get here and in the stands with 50 to go, i kept thinking let him finish the race. i never dreamed he'd be here. >> mom pretty fired up. that was only the second sprint cup start, by the way. >>> giants reliever brian wilson continues to ease his way into things as he nurses a stiff back. he played catch today and will throw a bull pen session on monday. one guy feeling good and much more trim, pablo sandoval. he's trimmed down to 240

and my former colleague, senator warren smith, -- gordon smith, were involved with this issue and before that with numerous members of the commerce committee. it is one of the thornier issues that congress has to deal with. and primarily the issue is one that's fused by both issues of economic development around airports. also transportation interests of the flying public and probably a little bit of dose of what members, you know, own personal experiences and interests are. but for me getting access to the west to the nation's capitol, is an important issue. it's not the primary way i come to work every week. i actually fly in and out of the other airport in the region and do so -- i don't know if i'd say happily, because, frankly, i think dulles airport -- i don't know what they've done with their new -- they got rid of their mobile lounges an invested in some transports system that you probably walk as far on that system as you do what the previous system is. i see people smiling on the floor because i think they've already been through it. i think they're saying, yeah, i've done that
