mr. robinson. the point of a grand jury is not necessarily to bring a case to trial but it is to act as a filter so that cases that don't need to be brought to court don't get there and when they do need to be brought to court that they do get there so it is a screening mechanism. but yes i do think and i i don't to use unjustified. i graham versus connor says the use of police force must be analyzed from a perspective of objective reasonableness. we don't have the benefit occurring to the u.s. supreme court of monday morning quarterbacking these things. we must look at them from the perspective of the officers who are on the scene with the sometimes wrong or limited or inaccurate information that they may have. and we know in this case they had some inaccurate information. they had some incomplete information. under the totality of the circumstances, even if the police didn't do anything perfectly. graham versus connor leads us to the necessary conclusion that the grand jury got it right. >> shaki

mr. cardin: i next would like to address the nomination of david robinson to position of assistant secretary of state for conflict and stabilization operations. madam president, the bureau of conflict and stabilization operations has an important role to play in helping the department of state address the multiple violent conflicts across the world and the rise of violent extreme groups. i don't have to tell this body how many challenges we have globally on conflict dealing with extremists. this is the key person to deal with this issue. ambassador robinson clearly has the background skills to excel in the position in which he has been nominated. he is a career diplomat. this is a person at an early age who went in service for our country, at great risk, as we know. with over 30 years of experience, he currently serves as the principal deppity representative in bosnia herzegovina where he oversees the implementation of the peace agreement that ended the war with bosnia herzegovina. he has served democratic and republican administrations far and wide under dangerous and demanding circumstance
