my friend, mr. cole, was correct when he said that you cannot find polls saying that people favor this in any large measure. you cannot find many that say that those who do favorite do not want it. here is what a recent poll said. i will quote from it. "continued debate or moveon was the question they put up. after more than five years of debate about the split on whether the conversation should continue is important for this country. the debate over the health care law -- while 45% say they are tired of hearing about it, congress should focus on other issues. a majority of republicans say the debate should continue. a majority of democrats say that the debate should not continue. ." where are we people? what are we doing here? in that same poll, my good friend from georgia would be interested to know that it also signifies that we are -- there are an overwhelmingly majority saying all we are doing now is scoring political points. that is regrettable. i think that quite frankly, we are better people than

. >> on [ inaudible ] i believe mr. cole advised all attorneys that state marijuana laws would not be enforcing the state marijuana laws. >> i believe the policy seeks to try and work with state systems that have chosen to take admittedly a different approach from the federal government with respect to marijuana and to determine the most effective way to still pursue marijuana cases consistent with the state's and the choses they have made. the deputy's policy still requires federal prosecutors to seek prosecution of marijuana cases in cases where children are at risk and where marijuana is crosss state lines particularly where it is being trafficked from a state that has chosen a legal framework into a state that has not chosen a legal framework and those driving under the influence of this. a great concern certainly within the department and those of us who are looking at these issues is the availability of the edible products and the risk of those falling into the hands of children and causing great harm there. >> if a st

but as a kind of comment that died down and as the afghan government stabilize our strategy to mr. cole is involved with. and with the drove, unfortunately, was a perennial underresourced in of the war effort. so we found ourselves as violence began to grow in kind or 2003, 2004 2005 timeframe we found ourselves chasing the violence rather than putting the resources in necessary to get ahead of it. and there were some important reasons for that, one of which obviously wasn't the iraq war. i was on the ground and saw the sucking sound of resources what whether it was helicopters predator drones or what have you getting pulled away from the afghan theater over into iraq. but what it really came into play was once the insurgency had reconstituted and the taliban had reconstituted in 2006 and they came back from my to work back to the pentagon and said hey, boss, this isn't going well, and there was nothing to give. that was kind of the depths of the iraq war and it was nothing to commit. so we found ourselves more and more reliant on nato to provide those resources that we didn't have a to

mr. pole h polis of cole. the chair: the chair now recognizes the gentleman from from colorado. mr. polis: as the father of a young boy that you had the opportunity to meet the other day in our rules committee, i have a particular interest in early childhood education. he is going to enter pre-school this fall. i support it and every child has the same kinds of opportunities that your child and my child does. the friends on the other side of the aisle does recognize that. i also understand that they don't necessarily support democratic approach of a comprehensive federal program for universal pre-school. this amendment represents a modest steps to have authorizing, not appropriating money for by authorizing the department of education to set up a grant program to incentivize state investments in quality, early childhood education. i hope this is something we can get behind. i urge my colleagues to see this is a modest compromised approach. investment in early childhood education is the most important investment we can make in the life of a child. i remember many years ago, i chaired

cole. here's what he had to say. i heard mr. routh say i shot them because they wouldn't talk to me. i was just riding in the back seat of the truck and nobody would talk to me. they were just taking me to the range so i shot them. i feel bad about it but they just wouldn't talk to me. i'm sure they forgive me. let's bring in misty merritt, a trial attorney, and robert salk a defense attorney and former prosecutor. thank you both for joining us. >> thank you. >> so, that's what the juries was left with as they took a break for the weekend. who does that benefit most? how does that help or hurt first of all the prosecution robert? >> i think it definitely helps the prosecution because it shows he has the mental state to acknowledge what he did and say why he did it. if this was the psychosis that the defendant is claiming that happened, how is he remembering it and speaking in such detail about it to the authorities so i definitely think this was a home run for the prosecution to leave the weekend on. >> it absolutely was, i 100% agree. basically what the defense needs to show is that

cole is recognized. that thank you very much. appreciate mr.chairman and a couple of things in response with the three of you had to say in i appreciate it very much but a quick question to you mr. burgess. assuming the repeal were to pass and become law unlikely we all agree politically what would be the effective date? >> the plain language of the statute says 180 days. >> i think i saw something that would be effective at the end of the year. in other words get the supreme court time to make its determination. i say that for a couple of reasons. my friend mr. scott mentioned this as as quote the 56th time. i think that's not exactly right. neither of those things became law and they pass a democratic senate were signed by the person and those were things like repeal of the requirement for 1099 which would have been multibillion-dollar exercise. that is counted of one of the repeal attempts. we have a number of other things that have collectively save $62 billion. i would suggest we have tried to change the law where we could find common grou

cole" bombers were muslim. the ft. hood shooter was muslim. the shoe bomber was muslim. the underwear bomber was muslim. the boston bombers were muslim. the september 11th hijackers were muslim. mrsident, please identify what other violence is being committed against americans in the name of any other religion. or, is it just coincidence? you know, you identify terrible deeds in the name of christ. why not identify terrible deeds in the name of mohammuhammad, t prophet of islam. people can't believe that's how you categorize it. but then again, your administration races words out of reports of identifying terrorists as islamic. stop defending islam and start protecting americans. start saying with islam doesn't stand for and start saying what you as our president intend to do about this. the majority of americans think it's at least somewhat likely islamic terrorists will launch an attack on u.s. soil soon. but i believe you're so comfortable with extremism that you've lost the importance of dangers to americans. you boasted a security policy of strategic patience. what are you waiting for? while you wait, they keep winning in iran that's closure to nuclear enrichment all the wh

mrs. mcmorris rodgers: the student success act improves, strengthens and modernizes our classrooms to give our students the opportunity to reach their full potential. as a mom of a 7-year-old son, cole who has special needs, i know firsthand that everyone has different needs in the classroom. every student's path to learning is both unique and equally important. so i'm proud to advance legislation that recognizes that. it all starts by innovating and empowering america's students. that's why i've championed the 21st century classroom innovation act included in today's legislation. and together we'll ensure that that technology will be fully incorporated into our classrooms to enhance personalized learning for our students. by blending traditional learning programs with high tech tools, we'll take our classrooms and our students to the 21st century. but the foundation of real education reform goes beyond technological advancement and begins with an unequivocal recognition that our students may have different needs. but they should all have an equal opportunity, an equal opportunity to learn, an equal opportunity to graduate, and an equal opportunity for a diploma. that's why i champi
