to have a strong national government if you are going to provide for the national defense.he key elements were coalescing. and with a a respect for property and a strong national government that was the beginning of marshall's political education. and from there he rose quickly to the height of national leadership. for a man without social standing or without money, to make that leap from the frontier as a diplomat and a state man and a judge to define the constitution i think it was precisely this talent reinventing himself to give himself the creative genius to invent the law. when john adams nominated marshall to the supreme court during the final month of the administration he lost the election to jefferson. first he for the job to john j the governor of new york he was not at all interested and he took around to other people. it was a terrible job. the supreme court visiting court does appeal court virtually had no authority with a very small docket. it was terrible payday had to get on the worst run around the country on circuit to go to the taverns nobody wanted that

this is what donald trump had to say, border security, national security, national security is long-termhutdown is a small price to pay for a safe and prosperous america. do you think there should be a government shutdown in order to attempt to get this done? >> it is a small price to pay. if we had the political will, this is going to go on the shoulders of the republicans. if we had the political will to do what needs to be done we could secure the border and if a shutdown is necessary to get the funding for the wall in strategic locations and other measures necessary to the border i am all for it. this president as long as he continues to lead people will get behind him and follow him and he does that we will secure the border. shannon: a government shutdown does affect a lot of people in different ways but you think this is that much of a priority that it needs to get done. >> i'm one of the people in effect. i'm a federal employee, i don't speak for the federal government but i speak for border patrol agents and i can tell you we feel strongly enough about border security, public sa

we were a nation that founded itself by saying we would be an abnormal nation in the most righteous of ways. we broke with bureaucracies and monarchies and totalitarian forms of government and we formed a nation founded in liberty. i am not going to say in any way it was perfect. our founders wrote to document that native americans were savages. that blacks were fractions of human beings. women not mentioned at all. but we put forth into the universe, the oldest constitutional democracy that we would be a nation always striving to set a higher and better normal. we would put forth the american dream. and we said we would sacrifice for it. we say an oath that we are a nation of liberty and justice for all. but that is just words. it is a civic faith but i am one of the people it says before you tell me about your religion, show it to me and how you treat other people first.

james garfield's death was a national shock. he was a struck down less than six months into his term. compromiseda candidate for the presidency and had won the closest election in american history. it was a difficult life but his opitimized the rags to riches story. a prototypical, self-made man. this is reflected in a passage from one of his favorite poems. moving from higher to hire becomes a pillar of people's hope. he was a pillar of hope, a refuge from a caustic set of divisions in the republican party. he was a tragic figure of unrealized potential. his term was mired in controversy from the start. his personal life overwrought with the long illness and the death of his first lady. this is the garfield memorial. garfield was shot in the baltimore potomac train station by charlesguiteau on july 2, 1881. he returned to the white house for medical care. guiteau was not a disappointed office seeker, but a quite delusional character with dreams of glory is public service. for which he was totally unqualified. the agonizing deat

therefore, indians are nations, but they are inferior to other nations. they are different kinds of nations. this case casts indians in the new republic as opposite, in perpetual conflict. so indians are lesser nations, which are unfortunately lodged in the united states. so this is going to be a conflict that you are going to have to resolve. you have to somehow make indians go away, because their presence in their current state is really not tenable. indians have to leave the land altogether, because they cannot coexist with white and could not live in the republic. this may sound simply about race and it is about race to a certain extent, but think back to the jeffersonian vision of the legal order. if you have a country based on this notion of plots of land that are private property, it is harder to have a vision of indian nations within the united states. so it is the logic of the legal order that's being set up that also makes indian presence within the united states problematic in legal terms. not just a matter of race, but also a matter of the kin

senator mccain could be a national figure, was a national figure, could be only a national figure if he desired. he had the stature to be a person that was known not only in the state he represented but in the nation and around the world. and while senator mccain represented the united states well, here in the united states senate and in countries around the globe, you could tell that senator mccain cared and loved the people he represented at home. he respected them. he recognized that they were the ones who gave him the opportunity to perform on a national stage. and he never forgot arizonans. i appreciate the way that he and senator flake, his junior colleague from arizona, worked together on behalf of the citizens of his state. so while it would have been easy for john to play only the national figure, he never forgot from where he came. and while much of my comments today have paid my respect to senator mccain for his service to the united states senate, it is his service in the military, in the navy, that is most compelling to me. i've known this story throughout my life and it
