that samuel b.nt a judge of the united states district court for the southern district of texas is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles be exhibited to the senate. articles of impeachment exhibited by the house of representatives of the united states of america in the same of itself and all of the people of the united states of america against samuel b. kent, a judge of the united states district court for the southern district of texas in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors. article 1, incident to his position as united states district court judge, samuel b. kent has engaged in conduct with respect to employees associated with the court that is incompatible with the trust and confidence placed in him as a judge as follows: number one, judge kent is the u.s. district court judge in the southern district of texas from 1990 to 2008, he was assigned to the galveston division of the southern court and his quarters

you upon the process issued on the 24th of june, 2009, by the senate of the united states, against samuel b. kent, is truly made, and that you have performed such service as therein described: so help you god? the sergeant at arms: i do. madam president, i send to the desk the return of service i executed upon service of the summons upon judge samuel b. kent yesterday, june 24, 2009, at 4:30 p.m., at devens federal medical center, ayers, massachusetts, accompanied by a statement of resignation executed by judge samuel b. kent following service of the summons, and to be effective june 30, 2009. the presiding officer: the return of service and accompanying statement of resignation will be spread upon the journal and printed in the record. the majority leader is recognized. mr. reid: i ask unanimous consent that the secretary of the senate be directed to deliver the original statement of resignation executed by judge samuel b. kent on june 24, 2009, to the president of the united states and to send a certified copy of the statement of resignation to the house of representatives. i further as

the judge in question, samuel b. kent of the united states district court for the southern district of texas has already pled guilty to obstruction of justice and has entered in and is residing in a federal prison at this moment. the judiciary committee's independent investigation conducted admirably by a special task force established for that purpose and led by the gentleman from california, mr. schiff, has concluded that the charge underlying that guilty plea is overwhelmingly borne out by the evidence. as are the related charges of repeated sexual assault against various court employees under his supervision. judge kent's conduct is described in greater detail and the -- in the report filed by our committee which voted unanimously 29-0 to recommend four articles of impeachment to the house. the court documents and other materials are available on the committee's website. of the three branches of government devised by the framers of oour constitution, only the judicial branch is insulated from the accountability o

samuel johnson cover the debates of britain's parliament for a publication called, gentleman's magazine. the cover the debates for more than two years. he showed up at parliament wants. one appearance in a little more than two years. now sometimes when he would do is hire a young man as a runner, that's what they call him in journalism today, he would go to the house of commons and listen for a few minutes and then he would run back and tell dr. johnson what happens then come give him a general idea of a small portion of the debate, but essentially samuel johnson just made this stuff up himself. he knew from other publications what topics were scheduled that day in parliament, what topics were scheduled to be discussed. he knew who is scheduled to speak and he knew the positions that these people had. so that information as his source of raw materials he just wrote the stuff himself. now why didn't members of parliament complained? because their speeches were some much more interesting coming from johnson's penn then coming from their own mouths. history didn't find out the truth about

judge samuel b.kent, who by his own admission obstructed jusity by lying to cover his own misdeeds cannot remain a federal judge. he's the first judge in the history of our republic to plead guilty to a felony and refuse to promptly resign his seat on the bench. other judges have been convicted of crimes and refused to resign. but never has one pled guilty and attempted to stay on the bench. to permit him to retain his position would inflict grievous and indeed irreparable damage to the federal judiciary and i submit to the congress as well. there are two basic questions in connection with this impeachment. first is the conduct alleged in the four articles of impeachment state an impeachable offense. absolutely and without question it does. the articles allege misconduct that's criminal and wholly inconsistent with judicial integrity and the judicial role. clearly everyone agrees that a judge who lies to a judicial body investigating his conduct or deceives investigators by lying at an interview is n

that was the time when two very young lawyers join the team, john roberts and samuel alito. you had the first george bush, two nominations, one of whom will step down this summer, and bill clinton put two moderate liberals on the court. but there was a long time, 11 years, in which there were no vacancies on the court, quite historic. during that time, if you were to some of the rehnquist court, you would have to say that there were some extraordinary movements. i mentioned several of them. but there was not a solid phalanx of conservatives. this was a time when the center held. justice o'connor's vote mattered a great deal. then came 2005. this extraordinary sequence of events where and president bush had rehnquist, and samuel alito had rehnquist, and samuel alito was nominated that was the conclusion of the concluding chapter of the rehnquist court and the beginning of the roberts court. what i thought i would do before it turned to the panel is give you a glance -- the saudis will be familiar, some may not be. not so much about how the court has changed in trial terms, bu

interestingly enough, that was the time that john roberts and samuel alito be began to cut their teeth in washington affairs at that time. you had, of course, the first george bush, two nominations to the court, one of whom will step down this summer, and then of course bill clinton put two moderate liberals on the court, but the turnover during that time -- then there was that long period. you are remember, 11 years went by in which there were no vacancies on the court? quite historic. during that time, if you were to sort of sum up the rehnquist court, you would have to say that there were some extraordinary movements, i mentioned some of them, but there wasn' a solid phalanx of conservative votes. this was a period in which the center held justice o'connor's vote matter add great deal, so roe vs. wade was not overturned. affirmative action survived, and substantive due process that i mentioned. then came 2005, the extraordinary sequence of events which seemed a few weeks in time in which president bush nominated john roberts to fill o'connor's seat and then justice rehnquist died an

of 2006 on this floor when the senate was debating the confirmation of now supreme court justice samuel alito. and i, like the president, believe that it is the senate's constitutional duty to thoroughly review all nominees to the federal bench, especially those who will have a lifetime appointment to the highest court in our nation. this review should be their proceed and fair and cover a nominee's background, judicial record, and adherence to the constitution. this is especially true with the voluminous judicial record that judge sotomayor has come piled with over -- has compiled with over 3,00 federal, district and appellate level decisions. the senate must also work to ensure that the nominee will decide cases based on the bedrock rule of law as opposed to their own personal feelings and political views. as part of this confirmation process, i had the opportunity this morning to meet personally with judge sotomayor. like many in this body, i agree that judge sotomayor has an impressive background as well as a compelling personal story. mr. president, what we have to do is we have to

then senator obama voted against both john roberts and against samuel alito. in our meeting, my meeting with judge roberts, he talked about baseball. and about the courts. in his analogy on baseball and gave a great anatural genuine he said -- quote -- "it's a bad thing when the umpire is the most watched person on the field o now, imagine that, watching a baseball game and the thing you're watching the most is the umpire because the umpire is a umpire and a player. how confusing. how difficult. and what a wrong way to have a going. he, of course, judge roberts, was alluding to the current situation where the legislature can pass a law, the executive sign it, but everybody waits holding their breath to see what the courts will do with it. unfortunately, judge sotomayor seems to me far too interested in being both an umpire and an active player. prior to becoming a federal judge, sonia sotomayor spent more than a decade on the board of directors of the puerto rican defense and education fund. a september 25, 1992 article in the "new york times" referred to judg

like samuel adams, he was an american patriot. like henry clay, he was a superb orator.e was a truly great president. and like will rogers, because the gipper and oklahoma's favorite son had a lot in common. they both started movies, the boat love horses, and that both were rated telling a joke. our nation faced a number of crises. vietnam, watergate, oil shocks, and economic troubles. inflation and unemployment were high and public confidence was low. experts said america's best days were behind her and that we ought to lower our expectations. but ronald reagan and his boundless optimism would have none of that. we are not as some would have us believe doomed to an inevitable decline as he said as his first inaugural. we have every right to dream and to dream heroic dreams. and so ladies and gentlemen, we did. president reagan demonstrated the power of big ideas. he was guided by deeply held core values. principles. about taxes. about spending. about national defense. and most of all perhaps about the essential goodness of the american people and the greatness of americ

of the record of the last two nominees to the supreme court, chief justice john roberts or justice samuel alito. now, i mention chief justice roberts and justice sam alito who did not give us anywhere near as clear a record or complete a record but i don't recall a single republican saying we did not have a complete record before we considered their nominations. of course, their nominations were by a republican president, for those two men, their nomination was by a republican president. for those two men, for the supreme court. this woman is nominated by a democratic president even though she has given a more complete record, somehow that's not enough. it was more than enough for the two men nominated by a republican president; not enough for this woman nominated by democratic president. but we have judge sonia sotomayor's record for the federal bench. it's a public record. we had it even before she was designated by the president. as i said, we have her record. from when she was first nominated to the federal bench by federal george h.w. bush and we have her record after she became a me

when you do, just remember these four words for what this legislation means -- jobs, darren samuel sohn is on the phone. what did democrats have to do to get this bill passed? they were working the hallways, the house floor, president obama got involved early this week, calling members, inviting members up to the white house, freshmen and sophomores primarily, and basically they had the energy and commerce committee, democrats, going one by one to members trying to convince them that what they had passed out of the committee about a month ago was a bill that had taken their interest of the microcosm of the larger house because of how many coal and oil house democrats were there. a lot of concessions were made. then they had to make a lot more to the farm state democrats, probably got 20 democrats from rural america to go along with the bill because of the negotiations with david pierce, the minnesota democrat anding a cum tour -- agriculture chairman its was an opportunity, i think, as markey called it, a fishing pole expedition of some kind where he was able to personally get some repu

samuel huntington is an example that you heard.on a more hopeful note the popular struggle continues to clip its wings quite impressively in the wake of 1960s activism which had quite an affect on civilizing society and raised the prospects for further progress to a much higher plane. it's one of the reasons it's time of troubles. too much of a civilizing effect. well, what the west sees as the crisis, namely, the financial crisis, that will presumably be patched up somehow or other. but leaving the institutions that created it pretty much in place, a couple days ago the treasury department, as you read, permitted early t.a.r.p. repayments, which actually reduced capacity -- it was touted as giving money back to the public. in fact, as was pointed out right away it reduces the capacity of banks to lend although it does allow them to pour money into the pockets of the few who matter. and the mood on wall street was captured by two bank of new york employees who predicted that their lives and pay would improve even if the broader eco

nominate someone to the supreme court, i think i may have gone more with someone like john roberts or samuelhat is my view of the world. i would like to see conservatives nominated to the supreme court. nothing personal to the nominee. the president has made his call. he won the election. there will be a debate in the senate over whether or not she ought to be confirmed, and i look forward to the hearings. just like a lot of other people do. it is not my nomination to make, but if it were, i think i would never nominated somewhat more conservative. >> the question on social issues. given iowa and elsewhere, is some form of legalized gay marriage inevitable in the united states? >> well, i think freedom means freedom for everyone. as many of you know, one of my daughters is gay, and that is something that we have lived with for a long time. . >> tonight on "q&a" indiana republican governor mitch daniels. later, prime minister gordon brown on the resignations of cabinet members.

samuel johnson was quite lazy, by his own admission, quite physically unattractive, severely pockmarked face. he didn't like to go out in public. so that's why he did what he did. william randolph hearst was in the midst of a circulation war with joseph pulitzer's newspaper, the world, so virtually every instance in the book given of somebody who tries to create a myth has a different motivation behind it. but as i said, i think the worst thing to me is the behavior against hauptman, which was at its core, racist. >> your book couldn't come out at a better time, whether anything written can be fit or unfit. in your research, did you see increase of frequency or in terms of malfeasance, as it progressed in terms of time, like closer to our time, did it happen more or it happened more in the past? >> i think the more serious examples happened in the past. the state of journalism is, i don't think, to be commended much today, but largely for different reasons. i don't know that journalists in any large numbers in the past 10 or 20 years, have done anything to compare with some of the examp

fortunately, truman's advisor clark clifford who replaced samuel rozman who became, in effect, the first national security council director. he told truman it was not thinkable to reverse partition. that what the u.s. should be doing is get the arabs to accept it and if the arabs do not condemn them as the aggressors. clifford told truman that warren austin's speech in the state department position was completely fallacious and that partition is in really in complete harmony with the policy of the united states as it has been stated to allow trusteeship to become policy now would actually lead to the very military involvement truman wanted to involve. -- avoid. he said austin's position would harm the u.s., would harm we know unity and he told truman, quote, we crossed the rubicon in this matter when they passed the resolution at your insistence. if we backtrack the arabs the arabs will treat us, quote, with contempt in light of our appeasement. so anyway, austin did give the speech which became as a bombshell because no one had expected it. rabbi silver had speaking rights at the u.n. a

let me focus on the process followed to consider the previous supreme court nominee, justice samuel alito. he had served on the u.s. court of appeals for the third circuit for more than 15 years when he was nominated to the supreme court. this was five years longer than judge sotomayor has served on the second circuit and nearly the same as judge sotomayor's combined judicial service on both the district and circuit courts. the other party demanded and was granted 70 days from the announcement of the nomination to the hearing to stu then-judge alito's record. the senator from pennsylvania, senator specter, was chairman at the time. he made no unilateral partisan announcements. he imposed no truncated, limited time frame. he consulted the ranking member, and they agreed that there would be 70 days to study that voluminous judicial record. oh, what a difference an election makes. with the unilateral partisan edict announced today by the chairman, we're being given only 48 days to study the same lengthy record. we are told that we must consider the largest judicial record in a century in the
