mr. rangel denies any wrong doing. those apartments are meant for people with low incomes.f rangel was using those apartments and got them because of who he is, then actually deserving people were not able to use them. then there's the dominican republic. here he is enjoying a moment on the beach. the congressman failing to disclose rental income on this villa as required by congress. he filed amendments only after the ethics committee began investigating him. now the congressman has blamed sloppy bookkeeping and that may be but it may also be an excuse. remember, this was the guy writing tax law and he can't seem to keep his records straight, the kind everybody has to, whether we're in congress or not. joining me now, joe johns and melanie sloan, currently executive director for citizens of responsibility and ethics in washington. next year she'll go into private practice with lanny davis. melanie, is congressman rangel corrupt? he says it's not corruption because he wasn't personally benefiting financially but is there an argument to be made? >> i think there is. i think

mr. olson is simply wrong when he suggests that the baker case did not involve a claim to classification based upon sexual orientation, just gender. here is what the plaintiffs in baker said. this is the route the jurisdictional statement. >> there is no discrimination and the law against homosexuals. appellant of being denied a numerous right, they have been denied numerous rights order to assemble -- others similarly situated. this was clearly a case where they charge the classification is one based on sexual orientation as well as one based on gender. the levin case would have been the, on all fours, would have -- the baker case would have been on all fours with loving it same-sex sexual relations produced children the same as opposite sex sexual relations do. then mr. olson would have a laydown case. there were be no basis on which to draw a distinction to identify a distinguishing characteristic with respect to any interest the state has the authority to implement. there would be no difference. the question is, does the society have no interest in that distinct characteristic? we su

well i'm not here particularly to support mr sands you know irrespective of the right and wrong to be surprised what i'm here for is to draw attention to the unjust injustice of the european arrest warrant as such because under european arrest warrant the court has almost no powers to prevent extradition the european arrest warrant came in early two thousand and four and under its provisions provided the paperwork has been filled out correctly then there are very very narrow grounds for actually refusing actually are so in a number of these cases now and listen to the proceedings and i'm afraid at the end of the process every one of those crises resulted in the extradition in fact it's not even called a tradition anymore it's now a judicial surrender the court has no power to look at the problem the facia evidence against the accused person and if decide whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant extradition so we're waiting to find out now what's going to happen today i think mr saunders lawyers are applying for bio and he's going to try and delay the process i'm sure and he mig

they are completely wrong in saying that our existing building is 975 sq ft. thank you. >> mr. sanchez. quarks i would like to address some of the issues that were raised regarding the planning code and clarify some of the planning code requirements. we have had this same question come up before the board. you are permitted two dwelling units, that is the base can city, no matter what your lot size is. if you have a 6000 square foot lot, and you can petition for a conditional use to go up to four dwelling units. they are in compliance with the density requirements of the planning code. this is a good location given that this is close to call st., major transportation corridors. we think you'll be possible to have two dwelling units. it is true that you cannot demolish and rebuild a noncompliant structure unless you have a variance. that is what they are seeking. that is what they are building in the required rearguard. there has been the typical community process in this section 311 notification. there was a mandatory discretionary review hearing because of the demolition of th

this is plain wrong, mr. speaker. it's worth recalling that when h.r. 5116 was originally considered by congress earlier this year, republicans attempted to make several constructive changes which were systematically blocked by the ruling majority. one would save billions of taxpayers money by reducing the authorizing levels to f.y. 2010 levels and freezing them for 10 years. however, in an effort to obstruct republicans, the liberal democrats signed a series of parliamentary tricks by shoving their bill through without having any republican input. mr. speaker, in these difficult economic times american families across the country are tightening their belts and cutting their spending. why then are the democrat elites increasing spending by $22 billion with this legislation and creating new duplicative government programs? the american taxpayers cannot afford this bill. the second bill encompassed by this closed rule which the democrat elites have brought before us today is h.r. 2751, the f.d.a. food safety modernizati

wrong, but i think i am right. having said that, you have heard what mr. hill said. you have given him a hard time.will initiate legislation. some of you may not agree with, but you do deserve a dose of medication and i will explain why. again and again in recent years, some of you supervisors and some of you so-called authorities fail to respect the commoner. the ordinary woman, child, and met deserves respect if you cannot give the common respect, then any matter that is in justice, -- in justice, this respect, i will explain why, it has to be taken to court. most of you all understand the adjudication. you had $300,000. you do not have the empirical data that shows us that you spoke to small businesses. to people all over the place. that was long. [tone] supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. any other public comments? seeing no one, public comment is closed on items 13 and 14. the items before this commission. both items. colleagues, any further comments or questions before our clerk takes a role in 13? supervisor daly: over the last couple of years i have gotten to participate in several discussions

that is just wrong. and, mr. president, let me give you an example. let me give you an example of who the folks are who will benefit from this -- from doing this. many of my republican colleagues have been poring very hard, not just to lower -- have been pushing very harksd not just to lower the estate tax. by the way, this 35% is lower than they ever dreamed they would get with a $5 million exemption. but they really want and you wouldly i suspect they will continue to fight for a complete repeal of the estate tax. so just to give you one example -- i don't mean to pick on the walton family, but just as a flesh-and-blood example. salt walton's family -- and the waltons, of course, are the heirs to the wal-mart fortune. they are worth -- and this may be wrong because it's a couple of years old -- but give and take, $86 billion. that's one family, $86 billion. the walton family would receive an estimated $32.7 billion tax break if the estate tax was completely repealed. does anybody in their right mind believe that when this country has a national debt

mr. cossack, and the wrong person is being punished.ur building, he was even outside of the time he's been saying the same thing since before he was convicted which was he knew who they were they did not include him, he in have anything to do this his own attorney failed to look any of those other perpetrators talk to any of them. to see if in fact he could demonstrate that they were not the ones. apparently neither did the police or the district attorney's office have lots of the investigation to do that no one did. one of the privy traders did confess that he was in fact the person who shot mr. costa. and said that he had done it with others and none of those others or him. with the family believes otherwise, they say a jury convicted him of killing their loved ones and the only witness to testify at risk from life by coming forward and telling the truth. >> not being elated and coming forward she was given an award by the city for being one of the top citizens and risking her life. >> my cousin was a three of his friends they all poi

mr. omar. both of them because this was at the corner. in actuality, this is -- the test itself at the wrong answer. the best example of the questions they asked with respect to finding locations in the city. with respect to throwing away the bills, this happened years ago and not necessarily in the past two or three years. i believe that there was a rule that was instituted about keeping the bills for a certain amount of time and the possible 20052006 and to go back and look. with respect to how many people are denied their permits, let me just say that i have been representing this for five years. i've gotten calls from people who are being denied permits. it seems that once the mta to go for, they became overly strict and their application of the rules. the way you can look at a bill and whether or not this is accurate. this might be one of the problems, in the past, it was granted for three years and a little bit of the fourth year and all of a sudden it is not. in closing, we believed that the application and the decision to deny this is contrary to the lock and to the evidence and we r

mr. president, why it was so important for me to be here today. don't ask, don't tell is wrong. i don't care who you love, if you love this country enough to risk your life for it, you shouldn't have to hide who you are. you ought to be able to serve. the history of our wonderful nation is spotted with wrongs, but this institution is at its best when it corrects them. that's the opportunity we will have today. don't ask, don't tell has resulted in the discharge of over 14,000 patriotic and talented service members who are otherwise qualified to serve their country. a 2005 government accountability office report says that nearly 10,000 of those discharged under don't ask, don't tell have been linguists trained in critical languages such as arabic, farsi and chinese. as a member of the senate intelligence committee, let me tell you turning away arabic, farsi and chinese speakers is bad for national security. it makes it harder for us to win the war on terror. and don't just take my word for it. the fact of the matter is the military now understands how important it is to make this

mr. nadler: he believed that money he never saw a check for was not reportable, he was wrong but it was one error, i ask my colleagues to reconsider this. a censure a punishment never previously imposed for this level of violation of house rules with no adequate explanation for the change in standards offends once sense of fair play and does not reflect credibility on the house. thank you. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: who seeks recognition. the gentleman from alabama. mr. bonner: may i inquire of the chair how many speakers she has remaining? mr. lofgren -- ms. lofgren: just mr. butterfield and my closing. mr. bonner: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. bonner: this is a sad day but a necessary day to complete a matter that should have been concluded with a public trial but mr. rangel walked out of that hearing. instead, we're left with a vote, an important vote not only for mr. rangel but equally a significant vote for this house as an institution. and for how we are seen by our employers, the
