mrs. robertson, i understand your grandmother was very kind and even helped raise you, but that didn't keepou from getting a scolding from her when you missed a weekly family event? ann cleveland robertson: that's true. [laughter] that was the soul of my grandmother. well, this one incident happened on a sunday night in new hampshire in tamworth, where we go in the summer. and on sunday nights, we used to get together. the finley family, who introduced my grandmother and grandfather to tamworth, and the cleveland family, we would get together and sing hymns. and we all really enjoyed that. but each person had their own favorite hymn. but one sunday, i got together with a whole group and went bowling with my cousin and our square dancing friends and, you know, had a very good time. and i didn't think there was anything terribly malicious about that. but mrs. finley was my godmother, also my grandmother's closest -- one of her closest friends, and she called my grandmother the next day and said, "where was ann during the hymn singing?

mr. robertson? >> after you. >> you're next in line. >> you know, just on the freedom of information act, fritz, i think there's some greater hope than perhaps i started out with. i'm thinking of the d.c. circuit and the second circuit both in foia lawsuits seeking transparency about the administration's targeted killing policy and the use of drones. one circuit said it was implausible that the cia does not have an intelligence interest in the program and that the cia could not invoke a -- neither confirm or deny response. i think it's very encouraging that the second circuit ruled as it did last year where it recognized that when administration officials campaigned to convince the public that a program is lawful and effective and wise and seek to justify that, they cannot seek to withhold the bases for their decision and ordered the release of a memo that justified the targeted killing of the u.s. citizen. and i think far more needs to be done. i think we need just not only the legal memos. we need

mr. clement also received earlier about the robertson v. baldwin. we have to look at how heller defines the second amendment. he tells us the right to bear arms as using the second amendment is to wear, bear or carry upon the person or in the clothing or in a pocket. for the purpose of being armed and ready. those are two separate categories of carrying. upon the person, we can imagine is open carrying, or in the clothing or in a pocket. that sounds like concealment. so heller recognized in its definition of the term bear arms that concealed carry can in fact be one way of exercising that right. and then of course, as my colleague argued earlier the heller opinion made clear as did or opinions that the state can regulate the manner in which guns are carried. because the state can regulate the manner in which they are carried the state can tell people you may not open or conceal carry. we don't have a claim we are entitled to carry in any particular manner. my clients will take what they're given by the legislature. if the legislature says you can't
