so that morning the lawyers got a successful decision in heller. that afternoon they filed their complaint in federal district court in chicago. the issue came to the seventh circuit. the seventh circuit adhering to some old essentially preincorporation doctrine cases said that second amendment doesn't apply to the states. the issue was teed up before the supreme court. i think much of the academic interest in this case was generated by the fact that petitioners in this case, the mcdonalds petitioners, really emphasized in their brief the privileges or immunities clause and essentially asked the supreme court to overrule the slaughter house case from 1873. it's not that often that you go into the supreme court and your principle argument is to ask the supreme court to overturn one of its presidents. it's even more rare to do it for a precedent that's been on the books for over 100 years. but petitioners did that, recognize, the fact that there had been broad-scale across the political spectrum academic criticism of the court's incorporation doctrin

heller: we should not do either. yes, this bill does have a few good things that i can support, largely on the doctors formula, geothermal energy, and even unemployment programs. but there is a better way. i introduced a bill today to provide a short-term extension of unemployment insurance, s.g.r., cobra, flood insurance, and s.b.a. loan programs. this is routinely extended by this congress in a bipartisan fashion. my bill is completely paid for with unused stimulus funds. the majority has passed health care takeover, cap and trade, cap and tax schemes, so called stimulus bill, and now this. h.r. 4213 contains air drop tax increases, accounting gimmicks, and a hodgepodge of propped up stimulus programs that show the american people that once again we are governed by a bunch of back room deals and not a government guided by ideals. when a bill has to be rigged together that is bad for builders, bad for investors, bad for seniors, bad for real estate, bad for energy, bad for contractors, bad for innovators, bad for fi

kennedy blew off the advice of james tobin and walter heller and all the ivy league economists who said you should loosen money and raise taxes in response to the eisenhower sluggishness. and this 29-year-old kid do the opposite of that. and kennedy took that advice. in the summer of 1962. and the 1960s resulted in which there was 4.5% growth per an -- annum. this was the center of the political economy at the university of chicago where he was awarded tenure at the age of 32 in 1965. and again he won over the profession. this argument that supply-side economics is outside the mainstream is in de-5 scombrans. -- defines. -- defiance. and we don't agree with him and we don't think you should cut money and raise taxes but, man, is he persuasive. he found a few people who listened to him including lafford from chicago. and one of his editors at the journal of political economy, paul craig roberts became a staffer for none other than jack kemp in 1975 and 1976 and these ideas of stabilizing the currency and money -- but still they had to gain control of the executive mansion and, of course,

. >> i mean, we certainly have the supreme court's decision in heller that says the second amendment is an individual right. we have to respect the supreme cours decision in that regard. that doesn't mean, however, that that right is one that is absolute and we have to balance that individual right against our collective security, and there has to be a way in which if there is a tension, we try to resolve that tension. the notion that people could bring guns to airports, especially given the al qaeda focus on the use of airplanes as terrorist tools, is one that to me is very worrysome. i would hope that we would try toeep weapons, guns, away from the very instruments that al qaeda and other organizations successfully used on september the 11th and have continued to try to use in the present and i suspect in the future as well. >> mr. holder, last month john biddell wounded two pentagon police officers before he was shot and killed. at least one of the handguns was linked to a private gun show sale. i brought the legislation to the senate when vice president gore was in that position

we play a lot of heller -- heroes and military people in my business but it is all acting. i get to really engage in interact and get to know some of the real heroes better out there. i see some of the people out here today so i would just like to say if there is anybody on active duty to please stand up and be recognized for your service to our country. [applause] so much of the work that i have been caged in by meeting some of the active duty people has let me meet so many great service members that have served us in the past and we cannot ignore them. if you have served your country in the past, please stand up and be recognized. [applause] >> that is what it is all about for me. appreciating what we have what we have in this country. i think if you just study your history, you'll have a great appreciation for those who served and what they have done to preserve the freedom we enjoy. it is a dangerous world out there. if you are paying attention to what is going on, you know our offenders are the ones that are going to be standing in harm's way for what may be many years

congressman dean heller and i introduced another bill that will increase the penalties for the newest way to smuggle drugs, flying them in by ultralight aircraft. they are capable of flying low and land and take off quickly. we have reports of them thrige up to 200 miles into our country from mexico. they are being used to bring drugs into our communities and represents the latest threat and if they can bring in drugs, they can bring in other materials that will threaten our national security. i learned the illicit use of ultralights by the u.s. border control and told me we need to take action to crack down and that's why i introduced the ultralight anti-smuggling act. they are not categorized as an aircraft by the federal aviation administration. in the 2010 national drug assessment released by the national intelligence drug center they identify them as the new ways that drug cartels are smuggling drugs into our country and according to the air and marine operations center in california, there were 193 suspected incursions into our country and 135 with the incursion two weeks ago by
