the purpose is debate about whether or not you created policy can trump the purpose that you find in the statute and that's clearly what the majority opinion did. again, read the majority opinion and find out they said the broader purpose was subsidies. we will have subsidies wherever we want. that was a key decision that congress made and they wanted them on federal exchanges. please read the opinion and see if you see anything in the statute that reflects this purchase, anything in the committee reports. anything in the legislative history where somebody said yes we want subsidies on federal exchanges. you won't find it. they cite to a twloff of ameekcuss briefs but you won't see anything. the other thing you won't see is any explanation of how this doesn't completely defeat these textually stated purpose. which again is that states will run the exchange. the majority opinion doesn't try and pretend that their view that subsidies will be available won't dramatically undermine congress' effort to have states run the exchanges because there will absolutely be no incentives for states

the purpose of the grand jury is to find probable cause. and there is another mechanism that most states utilize all of the time. prosecutors utilize preliminary examinations. those are public adversarially hearings where each side is are represented by an attorney and a judge presides over them. in almost all instances preliminary hearings are used by prosecutors. so the issue becomes why would you go to a grand jury? i heard one gument argument well a witness might be reluctant. i've heard that argument before. if the glur grand jury indicts and the witness comes forward, i don't think that argument holds up. i really can't fathom why prosecutors are just you know unwilling to look at a system that has become so antiquated and say we really don't need it transparency accountability are important. >> i have a little push back. a significant number of criminal cases actually don't go to trial. we reach plea agreements in the overwhelming majority of these case he and if you can present the accused with a reasonable amount of evidence that w

furthermore, the statutory purpose of e.s.a. is to recover species to the point where it is no longer considered endangered or threatened. the gray wolf is currently found in nearly 50 countries around the world and the wolf specialist group of the international union for conservation an nature has placed the species in the category of least concern globally for risk of extinction. mr. speaker, the proposed rule and other examples i've cited clearly show that a full delisting of the gray wolf is long overdue. since wolves were first placed under e.s.a. uncontrolled and unmanaged growth of gray wolf populations has resulted in devastating impacts on hunting and ranching as well as tragic losses to a historically strong and healthy livestock and wildlife populations. mr. speaker, the gray wolf population has grown substantially across its range and is now considered to be recovered. therefore, it does not merit protection under the endangered species act, but pacific northwest states are fully qualified to responsibly manage their

that is the purpose behind this particular bill. there are some concerns about environmental issues that may or may not have been wise to do in the past. that is not the concern of this bill. we're not stopping any of that. what we are doing is finding a creative way to provide for that but also provide a way of getting water to people where they need it. you know in the middle of the last century we did water projects and hydropower projects that helped us win the war. now is the time to do water projects and hydropower projects to help us feed people in this nation and in the entire world and help out areas that have up to 50% unemployment. i have been down there and i have seen those particular communities. many of them first and second generation americans. minorities who only want to provide a decent living for themselves and for their families and to work. and what we need to do is actually solve this problem so we can put people to work to provide food for this country and to provide jobs for people and to help people. that's

for this purpose this weekend i am the host of the grand review committee, welcoming thousands of marchers and reenactors and descendents to washington, d.c. to talk about the close of the american civil war. at the end of the war, the government celebrated by bringing 200,000 soldiers to washington, d.c. to acknowledge the fact that after four years of a bloody war, it was finally over, the nation had been saved as one nation under god, and the legacy of slavery had ended forever because the union now includes african-american soldiers who helped win this war and change the direction of this nation. this afternoon at the museum we are going to have a panel discussion including three knowledgeable, informed persons who will talk about one of the legacies of the african-american civil war. that is the voting rights legacy of the african-american civil war. the 14th amendment makes african-americans citizens of the united states and also hand some a provision about voting rights. the 15th amendment takes it a little bit further. we may get into the 15th amendment. i come at this personally b

does that sound like it's for peaceful purposes.et me tell you the worst thing about parchen, what you guys agreed to was, we can't even take samples there. they are going to be able to test by themselves. even the nfl wouldn't go along with this. how in the world can you have a nation like iran doing their own testing? now i know secretary monese who is one of the brightest guys i know, has told us we're going to be able to watch it on tv and there's a good chain of custody for the samples that will be taken. are we going to trust iran to do this? this is a good deal? this is what we were told we were going to get, when we were told that don't worry, we're going to be watching over their shoulder and we're going to put in place verifications that are bullet proof. we're going to trust iran to do their own testing? this is absolutely ludicrous. well, the one thing that bothers me incredibly about this is the billions of dollars that iran is going to get. we have been briefed on the fact that while they have been in this horrible fin

clearly aren't using it for that purpose. the situation before us today is one of dangerous political hypocrisy. the administration vocally stated administration law lies with the federal government anti-federal government alone. their entire case against arizona was premised on that point. that was when states were trying to enforce the law. but when states don't enforce the law, essentially playing to the administration's failure to enforce. the administration claims there is nothing they can do. sort of an interesting proposition. last week i questioned secretary of homeland security about the issues of sanctuary cities. the secretary stated there was nothing that d.h.s. could do and that he didn't feel it was productive to try and force the cities to cooperate. the administration jumps all over states that help enforce immigration laws, including suing arizona for enacting laws to protect its borders and sit zpwrensens. i ask where is the outrage by the administration over san francisco's failure to follow the law? where'

to achieve the purposes of this latino cultural district, my office has been working closely with the mayor's office, with our residents our businesses, our artists and other community stakeholders, who have engaged in a process for the purpose of creating a special use district for this cultural district. as this process for the creation of a special use district is underway, we have many long-term neighborhoods-serving businesss in this cultural district that have closed or have been forced out of the neighborhood due to skyrocketing rents, as well as the lack of commercial rent control in state of california. because of this phenomenon, the mayor's office and my office decided to seek intrhom interim controls where the merger would resolve in a ground? floor commercial use space of greater than 799 gross square feet. these interim controls that are before you make sense for a number of reasons: chief among these reasons is that smaller business spaces are more affordable and accessible to many businesses. something hugely important in today's market, where commercial rents are simp

the purpose is to remind the public and legislature, that the purpose of this is to change behavior and it's really about safety and not about generating revenue and that is what we heard from many jurisdictions. the next is liability. we found that the registered vehicle own and not taking into consideration who the driver is, but sending the violation to the registered vehicle owner; that that is a solution for liability there. in cases where maybe a car was stolen or something like that, that is a law enforcement issue that would be handled differently. but in most cases it's the registered owner of the vehicle and jurisdictions aren't necessarily changing violations or citations based on who was driving. in some cases some citis would have a sworn affidavit somebody could sign saying i wasn't driving. and they have a process that they can go through. other jurisdictions only send it just to the registered owner of the vehicle and say that they are responsible. the last thing that i also wanted to touch on in the next slide is about public perception and community support. many times
