under john quincy adams and then in andrew jackson's first term. and jackson declared the formula whereby slavery would be tolerated south of the missouri compromise line of 36-20, it'd be tolerated, and even encouraged or protected. but secession or even reduction of the prerogatives of the federal government opposite any individual state would not be tolerated. and he carried that proposition in south carolina, and he carried it out, and that effectively -- and i don't think this, there's no evidence this was in andrew jackson's thinking a at the time -- but it effectively enabled the free states to become strong enough demographically and economically that when a showdown did happen 25 years later, the north by the narrowest margin and with the most brilliant hardship in the country's history was able to suppress the insurrection and to abolish slavery. and i don't -- and that would not have happened if the south had attempted to e seed in jackson's -- to secede in jackson's time successfully. if they'd actually attempted to secede, i think it w

john quincy adams won the case and those africans left as free as they should have done. that me of us have a fear f we do not do more to support truth and justice and the american ideals that this country was founded on, there will come a day of judgment, and but for grace it would be a horrible thing. but we still have an obligation. to do the best we can, to meet our sworn obligations, and to let people like this in egypt know that we want to stand with free nations and be friends of free nations. there's another big banner that as there during the egyptian protest. egypt will remain a civil state. live, freedom, social justice. and then with an american in the picture, the caption says, we .now what you did last summer they have gotten the wrong impression of the people of america, and it's up to the americans to demand our leadershipment give the people of egypt the proper impression that we do care about freedom-loving people. here's another one, it's hard to read, but obama and patterson support terrorism in egypt. we know that's not true. but there are masses over

the vatican art historian says they were backed by former president john quincy adams. >> they were free of john tyler, fled to brazil, and completed the plaster sculptures based on his sketches over the course of 12 years before returning to europe and donating them to the vatican. the wonder is that they survived at all. cleaning the life-size statue of the great sue chieftain is more than taking the dust off. in a certain way you have to deal with him as if he was a piece of work. >> they're more than just a traveling show. patrick created them and pope pious the 9th exhibited them about a statement of being inflicted on them. is that they are the first monument against genocide art being employed to accuse injustice. in a global sense and i thank makes the subject very important also in the present day. >> which is one reason why so much care is taken to ensure that the work stays in good shape for the next 150 years. for "cbs this morning," allen pizzey, val can city. >> it's all about art. >> vat cap art. >> great show today. >> i thought so too. we all have our social cues. got it

these words are from our nation's sixth president, john quincy adams. president adams said "patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish." that's where we are, madam president, with patience we're persevering. we have a lot to do. difficulties will disappear, obstacles vanish. the result will be americans have a simpler code. i yield the floor. and i thank my colleagues who are managing the pending bill for yielding time. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from pennsylvania. mr. toomey: madam president, i rise to describe a motion to recommit that i'm going to offer, and i'd like to discuss this if i could. madam president, let me start by providing a little bit of context for why i'm offering this motion to recommit. that has to start by reminding my colleagues about the budget control act that was signed into law in 2011, about two years ago. in the budget control act, which, again, that's an act, not a bill. it's been signed into law. it is the existing law of the

of course they went ballistic and john quincy adams said this house ought to now insert in the strongest manner its right to call information in such cases and was pretty tough politically and that is exactly what ought to be. a second example hasted with fdr. we know that they one america in world war ii and wanted to save brereton from this adversity and its extremist. but the isolationist sentiment that was dominated in american politics at that time was risky and at one point he said i am seeing nothing and hearing nothing and saying nothing. i'm literally walking on eggs. not true. he was slipping of reporters which is a distant relative very closely. he pushed japan to the absence of the brink the first embargo of 1940 and spanning into loyal and many he refused to even talk to the japanese. and it violated gerald's neutrality act in 1940 with of the destroyer deal in which he made them available to britain in exchange for certain land that could be used on military bases in canada and the west indies. no consultation with congress. it was done in secret and cannot win and was expo

a story went around that she once said on president john quince--john quincy adams's closed when he took a dip in the potomac and refuse to get up until answering her question. historians say that never happened, but no less a famous washington journalist, then the trail blazing helen thomas who unfortunately died a few days ago called it a wonderful legend when she spoke to a society of professional journalists audience in 1990, but there was no rule against, quote, irritating presidents with impudent questions. by the time franklin roosevelt was elected president in 1932 women journalists were washington freaks. if you got close to a president. you were allowed to be in the same room, in the same city room with men reporters. imagine ourselves back in an era when most women in journalism worked in segregated quarters for what were called women and society pages. do you remember the women in society page? newspapers dropped in the 1960s going to lifestyle section but anyway these were segregated sections of the newspaper and they were segregated in terms of where the women were, not eve
