in particular, i'd like to thank ambassador robert king, the special envoy for north korean human rights issues and a long-time personal friend of mine, as well as his office for the attention they have given to david's case and the good-faith efforts they've made over the years to try to find answers. i commend ambassador king for his work on this complex and sensitive, very important issue. but there is still work yet to be done. an upstanding american citizen is still missing, and an aggrieved family, indeed an entire community continues to wait and pray for a resolution which is what brings us here today. mr. president, the first and most important responsibility of the united states government is to ensure the safety and freedom of the american people at home and abroad. when american citizens travel overseas, the state department plays a critical role in fulfilling this core constitutional duty. the amendment i'm filing today, which i plan to submit, is a stand-alone resolution with senators hatch, fishcher and sasse gives the sense of the senate that the state department in conjun

and whether or not king justice roberts and justice kennedy and the progressive justice were wrong and one can make arguments and you did make arguments they were wrong the fact that the administration's actions that were being challenged were upheld certainly shows, i think, that these are not really good examples that would support the contention that the obama administration is thumbing its nose at the constitution. they have to beat horses that were dead but never alive to begin with. one of those is an example professor bernstein highlighted in his own remarks and that is the notion this administration created all of these unconstitutional czars running the government. he has a chapter entitled more cz czars than the romans. really? i have not heard about them for a while and i don't think they made a dent however they were hyped by the right or left. i will say, here is a concession, both the administration and its opponents have an incentive to exagerate the influence taken. the president needs to be seen as making a difference. and his opponents need to say that these actions t
