saagar: ilya?lya: you know, there is enough language in the supreme court's recent holdings on environmental regulation that a judge could hold regulators' feet to the fire more whether through substantial evidence requirements or otherwise. congress could strengthen that a little. but i think the political capital required to do something like that, it would not be that much more, there would be something like the rains act, which would be to require congress to approve any major regulation promulgated. bigger things like that are probably a better use of activists or academic resources than tinkering with substantial evidence. saagar: another question? i see another in the back. >> hello. would you please comment on the following? i believe it is wrong to call congress as the problem because in the mike lee example, 2004 -- 2000 page affordable care act -- the real problem is the united states judiciary with the presumption the administrative rules are correct. in effect, the problem is insoluble

think about that a lot to comment on as well through this program picked out of it you heard what ilya had to say i mean from the russian perspective this is yet another you might say infrastructure success for the president but in recent weeks in the sort of state of the union the end of year address he did talk about the fact didn't he in his address to the russian people but there were problems with the economy there were problems with corruption and so i wonder how russian people would actually take the opening of this bridge i mean do they do they see it as something they can take pride in or is it just an unnecessary expense. well of course crimea has a long history of both with russia and ukraine for hundreds of years russia and ukraine were part of a of the same state including the soviet times when the crimea was formally transferred from the russian federation to the ukrainian republic at that time by the crucial in the 1950 s. and of course the vast majority of the population in crimea is russian ethnically russian and they are russian speakers but the main reason why russia
