this is happening across the country because states are cash strapped in both red state and blue states alike across the country have been unwilling to raise revenue through general taxation. when you see that occurring you end up having the states looking for money elsewhere, behind the scenes mechanisms if you will, even to the point where they are using their own agencies to divert funds from the vulnerable populations. i've been looking into these issues for quite a while both through pass scholarship, i've been been involved in litigation, some policy advocacy efforts and i think it started for me almost 20 years ago at my first job at legal aid was in baltimore city and i was representing kids in the baltimore foster care system. i had a huge caseload. my first day in court i represented 16 children in an afternoon. honestly, i still feel guilt from that time because i feel like i could have, should have done more for those kids. i was awakened to what foster kids were going through in the system. what they're going through before they came in the system and how hard it was when t

watch the roll call of the states. you learn something new every time. >> it has been striking, the general sort of comity displayed in the hall here. c-o- c-o-m-i-t-y. >> we should acknowledge this more, it is a much different building today than yesterday. >> there is energy like this for a roll call of the states. a couple years ago, both parties were de-emphasizing the roll call. they would do a few states one day, a few the next day just to get it out of the way. it has come back in a big way. everyone's here. they are cheering everyone. this is an old school -- there's no suspense in the winner. in every other way this is an old school throwback roll call. >> i just thank you for making sure we get to do this. i like the roll call. >> also

new york state is of course donald trump's home state. they are holding off in terms of their position in the alphabetical call so that they can be the state that comes in at just the right numerical time in order to cast their vote so they can be the state that puts trump over the top to 1237 and officially clinching the nomination. >> even more catching up the person doing the passing for new york, richard nixon's son-in-law and before that, the governor of new mexico was in that famous tussle with donald j. trump during the campaign. >> north carolina, one of the fastest growing state economies under governor pat mccrory and the republican-led general assembly proudly casts our 72 votes as follows. one, dr. ben carson. six, senator marco rubio. nine for ohio governor john kasich. >> in the great conservative tradition of the old north state, the home of billy graham, we proudly cast 27 votes for senator ted cruz. >> north carolina is a party which was funded and founded by blacks and whites and one of the parts most people don't know a

a few state walkouts. we'll see if the trump whips have whipped the crowd into shape. >> the convention we all sort of make fun of and sort of love, which is the great state of, state name, that in part derives from what we are about to see. the roll call takes a long time. it goes i think alphabetical. one of the states we are watching for in terms of causing a r, ckus is colorado. even if colorado or other states don't cause drama, this is a short of pageant of party fervor and state pride that is for civics dorks not exactly a sacrament but one of the things we look forward to. >> it's right up there. jacob soboroff is in the delegation that will be designed in order to put donald trump over the top, his home state of new york. >> reporter: chris collins right there, we are in the front row, in front of the new york home delegation of the presumptive nominee, soon to be the official nominee of the republican party. as for the protests, we were expecting and watching out for them, we don't expect them to

we want states states move as quickly as they can on that. they assume that 201,610-2017 reviewed transition year. the timeline in the current traffic regulation on which we are receiving, anticipates that states would implement the new accountability system and 17-18 and identify the schools needed and 17-18. that said we have heard feedback that some states would like the ability to carry over the schools in which they are interviewing from 16 - 17 into 17 - 18. that feedback feedback where open to and we will continue to listen to closely comment. >> just so i understand, but what i said is that a state would collect the data and develop its new accountability system in 17 - 18 and then identify the schools in 2018 - 2019.-2019. >> yes. understood. under the current regulation that would not be. the interventions would begin and 17-18. and i can emphasize again we are open to comments on the timeline and open to adjusting that timeline. the key question that states will need to address as they provide comments is in which schools will they

the other model is pass it on states. ten states have done it first. do it in a bunch of states and show us it works. that is what the movement has done. i think it is a model not just for this issue but for others. >> we will talk about specific issues being debated in congress and the various bills but

states. and so that was his discretion in 1860-'61. i believe that was december, 1860. two decades later in 1818, jefferson davis published his two-volume memoirs. and in that work, jefferson davis adopts the traditional myth of the lost cause position and says, well, slavery really had almost nothing to do with the war. in fact, he states specifically there would have been a civil war even if no american had owned a slave. okay? just i won't comment on which one i think is the truth or the fiction, but just note the contrast between the two and this is very typical. and it's why it is so important to go back and look at the evidence at the time of secession and the time of the formation of the confederacy. now, as i said, a lot of people have bought into this over the years. and i think it great lit affected the historiography of the civil war whether you were born north, south, east or west, you absorb some or all of the myth. and that's why it's important to understand what that myth is an

haven't to pay taxes and tariffs as you went from state to state.blem with the articles of confederation i think and ultimately what dooms it, you can see from how it is signed. the signing is going to take place right when the continental congress comes back to philadelphia after the british army has left in 1778. the british leave philadelphia in june, congress is back meeting here in july and on july 9 they're ready to sign the articles of confederation. now the way the signing of that one works is a little bit different. the declaration of independence is signed by the delegates and most of them sign it on the same day. the articles of confederation is signed as each state approves it their degs will sign it. so they're waiting for the states to make their decisions so about half of them are going to sign it that first day and over the next weeks most of the rest will sign. now ultimately one state, maryland, will hold out for close to two years. so the signing will begin july 9, 1778, it won't begin until march 1 of 1781. so two and a half year

state. as clear, ever single student and subgroup of student matters but allowing states to measure to the average performance of all students could lower the expectation for students because many students could be under performing driving down the average performance level in a state. that's why instead all should be expected to meet state standards and academic goals establish by the state. i'll have a question on this where we can go into more details but something i'm taking a close look at as well as other regulations for school interventions and supports because the intent of the law is clear it needs to actually help students succeed and we need strong regulations flowing that the law if it does what we hope it will. the need for continued collaboration to encourage voices that all stakeholders are heard throughout the essa implementation process. to assist states and school districts as well as break down barometric pressu barriers. -- the letter provides helpful suggestions to state

states. whoever wednesday ohio and florida will likely twin election. democrats and republicans were evenly divided. anything that could gain a few votes would switch the election. they claim they kind of fudge over the argument about importation and say if we keep the chinese outs, this will be good for the american economy, good for the working man and it will help the united states. and even though workers have never really been asking for this except for several -- in california it's different. but east of the rockies workers could care less about this, but politicians see immigration as a way to demagogue votes. there's no more advice al issue in america as race and immigration. when you combine the two -- and this is the first time it's really done -- it's against the irish in the 1850s. but this is the time it really gains weight and it worked. the mark of a great talk is when we have to interrupt the speaker for the next speaker. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> more road to the white ho

i'm here representing my state, a great state. but the extractive industries, coal mining, natural gas. when we have these early states, iowa, south carolina, nevada, love all your states but there is not a state that represents those critically important industries to this country that is early in the process. i think you have to go 13 or 14 states deep before any of those industry heyden states get addressed in the process. so i think it is important. i've. for a long time the six disfor ethanol, there would be in west virginia. i think they ought to be examined. i urge no on this amendment. >> yes. did you want to speak? >> thank you. i support the committee. it is important to study process. i believe that is more in the timing. i think we as a body should communicate to that committee if we're going to have a time after which, or before which proportional rules must apply, they should apply to everybody. i don't care how much you study that idea. i don't know if there would be a good reason why a if you states get exempted so

it had some states had ratified it. he began a letter writing campaign to state legislatures. then in 1992, this amendment was finally ratified. it became the 27th amendment. so it had a 203 year path into the constitution. that is still the record. then there were amendments 3 through 12, which i'll talk about -- i will identify by the numbers we know them as, one through ten. but originally they were 3 through 12. what we have is a review and kind of summary of what has gone before and plus some new provisions. the first amendment is an omnibus and prevents against freedom of religious fre freedom or speech or press and grievances, that goes back to 1215, the others are more recent. the second amendment broadened the right to bear arms from protestants to all of the people. and it added the phrase about the importance of a well regulated militia. the fourth amendment defined the proper scope of warrants. the sixth and seventh amendment said there should be jury trials in both criminal and civil cases and it said that criminal trials must be speedy. the eighth amendment simpl

and it has worked state-by-state i think thisen is a model for conservatives to link gauge the other model is pass it in the state and i think any law should be passed unless 10 states have done a first show was it works that is what the criminal-justice reform movement has done not just this issue but others. we will talk about specific issues being debated and various bills everyone's information there will not be any endorsements from theione panel today or picking one over the other but one of the important things i want to clear up because they think it is important for the context is the impression each of you have with your organization's because in washington d.c., often people say on the 6:00 news where is the compromise? where the people in the middle that can split the baby to come up with legislation? but i think you will hear loud and clear from us is it about compromise or working toward shared values of principled people on theeo left and the right? >> the people in the middle did this to us because all of the reasonable people thought this was the way to people though

to have the state -- state of the state speech to the crisis in 2014.channeling him, he'd say it was a lonely place to be out in front. the actions he took immediately were to administer funding for treatment -- add more funding for treatment resources in both health and criminal justice systems. vermont at the same time adopted a plan to address this public health crisis. it is comprehensive strategies encompassing enforcement, intervention, treatment and recovery support. it's essential to recognize whatever we do in all of these spaces, to stem the tide of the opioid problem, it requires a coordinated approach on the federal, state and community levels. so here we were, ready to invest money in treatment, but at the same time our waiting lists were getting larger and larger. we just didn't have the capacity. so it was clear at that time we had to do something different. and doing something different really meant reforming our health care system. we adopted an integrated approach to health care reform combining the health homes provision of the afford

this is happening across the revenue because states are cash-strapped and red states and blue statesalike across the country have been unwilling to raise revenue through general taxation. when you see that occurring, you have to stay put for money elsewhere from assorted behind-the-scenes if you will, even to the point where they are using their own agencies to do for fun from the vulnerable populations. i've been looking into these issues for quite a while, both her past scholarship involved in litigation, policy advocacy after and i think it started for me almost 20 years ago. representing ken with a huge caseload. my first day in court i represented 16 children and an afternoon. i still feel some guilt for not time because i feel like i could have, should have done more for those kids. i was awakened to what they are going to before they came to the system and how hard bed convinced that dire wind up suffering from ptsd, posttraumatic stress disorder at twice the level of iraq war veterans. it was alarming to me that the very agencies that exist to serve the best interest of foste

by the state regardless of how they compare to other students in the state. we can go into more detail buzz this is something i'm looking at as well as other regulations are the department for school enter essentials and supports. because the intent of the law is clear. it needs to actually help students succeed. and we need to strong regulations flowing from that goal if we want this law to do what so many of us hope that it will. one other issue i want to touch on is the need for continue collaboration to encourage and insure the voices of all stakeholders are heard throughout the implementation process. this is so important but it won't happen on its own. it requires the department to use every available opportunity to assist states and school districts as well as breaking down barriers to insure full participation. i'm pleased the department september a letter to states last week highlighting the importance of stakeholder engagement. the letter provides helpful suggestions to states to improve stakeholder engagement including holding meetings at varying d

so, this is a conflict between big states and small states and the slave states and the free states. and they were at an impasse. how should slaves be counted for purposes of representation? what saved the convention, although allowed slavery to continue until it was finally eradicated after the 13th amendment passed after the civil war, something known as he 3/5 compromise. the 3/5 compromise was proposed by james wilson of pennsylvania as the great architect of popular sovereignty. and it was seconded by charles pinckney of south carolina. i am standing here with the south carolina delegation, including pinckney and also john rutledge, and finally charles cotesworth. pinckney believed it was a way of reconciling the maintenance of slavery with the political concerns of the northern states. here is what the 3/5 clause famously or infamously said, reading for my riveting national constitution center pocket constitution. i think you can get these on amazon now. if you go on to our website, we should get them up and running, which has this completely thrilling introductory essay by me

, and for eight our fierce ally in the united states senate.t i learned from working closely with her for many years. hillary does not just fight the tough battles. hillary wins them. and in the dark days after september 11, hillary's leadership on to half of new york was unsurpassed. she consoled those who lost loved ones. she brought home the assistance to get new york back on its feet. and long after the cameras were gone, hillary helped secure health care for the police, the who wereers, the emt's sick because they ran toward ground zero as everyone else ran away. hillary represented the diverse needs of the entire state of new v.a. fighting to keep hospitals and military bases open, helping to get produce from farms to market, and giving small businesses the tools to grow and hire. she was a strong voice for new york's state-of-the-art hospitals, our colleges and universities. of course, hillary's achievements reached beyond the empire state. from her work to support family caregivers, to make family planning accessible for every american

japanese admired the united states. they saw the united states as their friend, and americans were considered friends of the japanese after the san francisco earthquake. japanese earthquake specialists who knew a lot more about them than californians came to help san francisco dig out. by 1921, and especially after 1924, the united states was seen as an enemy of japan, in part because of the immigration acts. but also because of the vigorous anti-japanese laws passed in california between 1905 and 1924 restricting land ownership to aliens eligible to citizenship. japanese are not because they are not white. so that becomes the story of american immigration in 45 minutes. it is hard to cover this ground in any great detail. one of the things that's clear that the decliep of immigration after 1924 fundamentally changed the united states because people growing up in the 1920s, '30s, and into the '40s grew up in a nation of immigrants. people went to school with immigrants. people knew immigrants. there were, as we noted, t

because of socialism that has a resurgence in the united states. and the cause of the breath of humanity because one of the keynotes of paul robeson life was his maniacal study that he reported the could read dozens of languages in from his point of view if humanity was one such as socialism then he felt in terms of communicating were effectively with global audiences that he should be able to speak in the town of any audience he encountered. and as a conclusion once again if you try to understand the tribulation and sent travails of the black people over the centuries even though lawyers would speak warmly of the founders of those terrible -- noble documents. and all of us and are initially excluded but the founders did not have people like myself in mind just like they didn't have the furniture in mind we were considered at the same level but we could fight a glorious struggle but once again we could fight that glorious struggle of the international community of the black flies matter movement and tell a end of last you learn the basic lesson in

states. it is a complaint that the federal government isn't doing enough. it doesn't sound like they're really concerned primarily with states' rights, vis-a-vis the federal government and what they want the federal government to do which is to preserve slavery. mississippi was right in there behind south carolina, and their governor urged the convening of a cessation convention and the united states is now up for a final settlement. the legislature called for a cessation convention and they had a long list of grievances. so the mess miss legislature convening a cessation convention. they complained that the north had defined the constitution's fugitive slave provision and enticed slaves to free and agitated against slavery and sought to exclude savory from the territories and opposed the admission of more slave states. moreover, abolitionists sought to amend the constitution to prohibit slavery and to punish slave holders. they had encouraged john brown's raid and had elected a president and

it could even be a one-party state.tween, people are caught, a large part of the population is caught between the two arguments. they really feel like they were devastated by the coup, the violence and the scale of it, and they feel like there is an ongoing threat. but on the other hand they see the growing number of arrests and mass firings, so there is a growing unease and they fear how far it will go. i think the question is how far the state of emergency does it continue, will the president honor his commitment of three months? people will be heating what the critics are saying. sarah: what does the state of emergency look like in practice? >> we are still waiting for full details, t they are still threshing out what powowers they will be givining. ththe biggest concern is that te president will be ablele to roll -- rule by decreree, and effectively it means he can do anything. pass laws withohout parliliament scrutiny. and ththe officice needed to expeditete the process, that cod be a conspiracy. it is a cause for

that is tim kaine's home state.m there they'll go to ohio, florida, colorado, then donald trump will finish up on saturday with a speech in arizona. we understand he'll be doing something at the border, so it will likely be about immigration and border security. he's likely taking advantage of the bump he got from his convention last week and the disaster at the democratic convention. he's saying on twitter, quote, here we go again with another clinton scandal and e-mails, can you believe, crooked hillary knew the fix was in, "b" never had a chance. quote, the state of florida is so embarrassed by the antics of crooked hillary and debbie wasserman schultz, they will vote for change. the trump campaign is also mocking the claim of clinton campaign manager robby mook that the russians hacked the dnc's e-mails. >> they're pretty desperate, pretty quickly, is all i have to say on that. it's a far reach, obviously. to lead their convention with that tells me that they really are trying to move away from what the issues a

states. and there was a strong attempt by the delegation from california and oregon to amend that to say all persons except chinese would be citizens of the united states. and to the great credit of the united states congress, then in the hands of the anti-slavery republican party that had just led the nation to both saving the nation and ending slavery, the majority of congress simply said, no, all persons means all persons, we're not going to get into the business of excluding particular groups of people. and so that in part explains the subsequent conflict over chinese immigration and chinese rights, because the 14th amendment meant their children would be citizens of the united states, even when the naturalization laws prohibited them from being naturalized. one final footnote on that before i bring on lance, during world war i, congress passed a law which said that if you were honorably discharged veteran, you could become a citizen of the united states automatically. but in toyota versu

those states of pennsylvania and where else? what other swing state might be involved in that?io is also going to be a big state where jobs are an issue. kentucky -- if you look at the rust belt and you look at the midwest you're going to see a lot of states that their primary concern is the economy and jobs and that's where donald trump does very, very well and hillary clinton should be very concerned because whether or not a lot of people are talking about how tech folks aren't going for donald trump and tech is where jobs are coming from, we need to bring jobs back here and we need to find ways to do that and donald trump is speaking to that. bringing people to his side. polling numbers people most concerned about jobs and the economy, do go to donald trump. >> and mike pence i think solidifies that. but let me go back a little bit in time. the number was very high when jim comey came out and said, you know, there's no basis, no reasonable prosecutor that would bring charges or indict hillary. that didn't go over too well with the electorate. how has that affected her number

the state. you'd be very enthusiastic about the same kind of trade with middle size companies. specifically devoted to mental size companies in middle size -- that be something you be interested in entertaining for many of the states represented here. that's great. that sounds terrific. to to give us a comment? >> well with today's discussion there are some points for industries to the united states. in my case, i like to present one point, the associate's main target may concern among japanese companies for example a corporation is an air conditioner manufacturer in the world. and they emerge in 2012. at that time the leadership came [inaudible] this should be the most beautifully constructed along the japan sea. so in that sense, for japanese company to bring up the new main target and main concern. so please remember about that. united states has a great education system and great people here, but we have to bring up global resources. >> i think the quality of this conversation in the engagem

for example, it's now known that the bulgarian state security apparatus, the -- it was called the state security had a 12th department that was responsible for our assassinations overseas. a question i'm often asked is whether bulgaria was involved in the attempted assassination on the pope. i won't get into that now. i'll talk a little bit about that maybe tomorrow. the informal cooperation particularly applied to things like covert operations but it also in some cases involved intelligence gathering. there was an allocation of assignments among the warsaw pact countries the only exception to what i've mentioned here is romania, the cooperation between the soviet and romanian foreign intelligence agencies greatly diminished in the mid-1960s. the this was a conscious decision of ceausescu's regime in romania. it wanted to establish autonomy for romania, not independence but autonomy for romania in both the military and foreign intelligence spheres. it never disappeared entirely. romania was involved in covert operations in which it worked closely with the soviet and other east european

what is happening in the states is the states are essentially ducking this issue, in many cases making it worse, and we need to have a constructive discussion with the world of business about their obligation, because everybody suffers, including the entire structure, when we have close to chaos. i remember going back 20 years, we talked about these triggers in the present structure. impossible, they don't work. the importance of today is that they will hopefully project this issue into an honest constructive discussion of what unemployment insurance, the role it plays in the lives of people and the economic life of this country. >> you mentioned that the role of states, that obviously creates a lot of the inconsistencies on state to state in terms of benefits, but brings challenges, the fact that it is a federal/state partnership. do either of you have thoughts about how to think about that, moving over, if we were able to think about the program in new and different ways? >> i could talk about what has happened in michigan, what the state of michigan did was decide they were going to

of state. everyone will have a chance to vote for u.s. house of representatives member. and many of you, most of you will be voting on state legislative races as well. i want to take just a couple of minutes to look at the presidential candidates. now donald trump for many years had said -- well, we've got -- of course there is the videotapes that he is pro-choice. and he has been out there publicly saying that. but he wrote in a news column earlier this year, and i want to quote, let me be clear. i am pro-life. i support that position with exceptions allowed for rape, incest, or the life of the mother being at risk. i did not always hold this position, but i had a significant personal experience that brought the precious gift of life into perspective for me. now donald trump has expressed his support for the pain capable unborn child protection act. he has expressed his opposition to taxpayer funding for abortion and abortion providers, and said that he would appoint pro-life judges. hillary c

states. and even though workers have never really been asking for this, except for several -- in california, it is different. but east of the rockies, workers could care less about this. but politicians see immigration as a way to demagogue votes. there is no more visceral issue in american history than race. and immigration. you combine the two, and this is the first time it is really done against the irish in the 1850s, but this is the time it really takes -- gains weight. and it works. >> the mark of a great talk is when we have to interrupt the questioning for the next speaker. thank you, andrew. >> my pleasure. [ applause ] >> first time in our nation's history that a woman will be a major party's nominee. >> at the democratic national convention in philadelphia, hillary clinton becomes the first woman nominee of a major political party for president of the united states. live coverage of every minute of this historic convention begins monday on c-span. the c-span radio app and c-span.or

some people from the states or working in the states have relationships in those states and the pointk to put him over the top it's sort of a nice thing where all the other states will say he's already won it. for them to keep even at that point saying no, we're going for cruz, it's just saying it wouldn't make a difference but wouldn't it be nice for party unity? but they'll say the rules are the rules. >> what do you make of concerns that some states won't defer to allow new york to actually put donald trump over the top. >> that's another problem. i think that's frankly getting to the level of being petty. it's one thing to have a demonstration, you're trying to make a point. you won't allow his home state after he's won the contest, millions of voters voted for him. regardless of what we think of trump, that's getting to the point where it's a disservice to the party. >> jeffrey? >> there was a precedent for this in 1960, barry goldwater is remembered for giving his famous speech let's throw up conservatives. the reason he was on the podium is because the louisiana delegation gave

note among the several states. more than several states today. this labeling uniformity is based on science and allows the solution and allows the value chain from farmer to processer to shipper to retailer to consumer to continue as the free market intended. to accomplish national uniformity, we crafted a mandatory disclosure requirement. we're talking about mandatory. we're talking about mandatory disclosure, not just labeling. the senate bipartisan agreement is mandatory disclosure with several options. text on package, assemble or an tropbic link to -- an electronic link to a web site. the legislation is clear that the link could not contain text on the package that could be used to denigrate, to denigrate biotechnology. it will simply say scan here for more food information. we also allow for web sites or telephone numbers to satisfy the requirements for small food manufacturers and we completely exempt very small food manufacturers and restaurants from having to comply. the disclosure requirement applies to food subject to the food and drug

but good things are happening in the states.we are creating jobs and leading in computer science education. unemployment is the lowest in the recorded history of arkansas, and we had $177 million surplus. we can do better for our country at the national level. we need a president that values the role of the states, will destroy isis and jumpstart our economy. ladies and gentlemen, experience matters. on the campaign trail hillary clinton emphasized her experience. yes, experience matter, but judgment matters more. despite her experience, hillary clinton's poor decisions have produced bad results. just think about it. hillary clinton's radical attempts at so-called reform of the nation's health care system would have been more destructive than even obamacare has been. hillary clinton's bad judge am, as you heard last night left us four dead americans in benghazi. it resulted in instability in egypt, syria and libya, the rise of isis and the resurgence of russia and emboldened north korea, inappropriate ties between foreign govern

because states can't print money. during my years in congress, i honestly never recall anyone focusing on revenue forecasts when we passed a spending bill. but in indiana, where we have a balanced budget, this year's budget will only be completed when we get the final revenue forecast to make sure the income meets the outgo. and states are better equipped to innovate and reform those antiquated programs. in indiana, we ended traditional medicaid for all able-bodied adults and replaced it with consumer driven health care and health savings accounts. [applause] we've expanded access to health care not through government mandates and taxes, but their -- through market-based reforms grounded in personal responsibility and self reliance. on education, because we believe that all honest work is honorable, today, indiana is crafting plans to be the first state in america to make career and vocational education a priority in every high school in our state again. [applause] let's empower the states with renewed flexibility to

he has been a leader at every level, state level, federal level, now united states senator. but that saul politics. the great thing i love about tim kaine is he is the singest-- single best human being i know. >> rose: the single best sph. >> he is a better human being than anyone except for my wife. >> rose: good. >> is he one of those guys that you leave your kids-- . >> rose: a better human being than bill clinton, than barack obama then hillary clinton. >> look, i love all those people. but i will tell you when tim kaine got named, i teared up. because the vice presidential pick shouldn't be about politics. it should be about the person who can step in in a moment and become president of the united states. and if that was tim kaine i would feel great about the future of our country. >> rose: why do you say that? >> i dealt with tim kaine every single day when i was in the white house. and every time he has bonded his word, he asks about your family, your life. he has deep philosophical questions that most politicians don't. he's a former missionary, he speaks spanish. he

united states. domestic labor trafficking, which primarily affects non-citizens of the united states, has received less media attention but its victims also suffered terribly. much like sex traffickers, labor traffickers exploit the victim's vulnerability which might include limited english skills, isolation, or poverty. some labor traffickers may induce their victims to travel here under false pretenses and then confiscate their identification and travel documents. others may deceive a worker into believing they owe a massive debt that must be repaid. still others use a bait-and-switch technique promising to hire somebody for a specific job at one pay level, but then forcing the worker into another less desirable and more dangerous job at little or no pay. it's important that we ensure appropriate resources and support are in place to help these victims as well. for all these reasons, the successful implementation of the justice for victims of trafficking act is a top priority of this committee. in

some states have passed state laws that prohibit registers by party. in this current cycle, our convention results were vastly different than our primary votes, our primary outcomes. there's been some speculation to the reasoning. and this has discouraged many republicans. so this change would give states significant incentive to restrict participation to republicans. giving the states the right to decide how they can do that. thank you. >> thank you are there others who wish to be recognized in opposition? the gentleman at the front microphone. >> thank you, i'm from environment, i'm rising with those states like vermont, again, that also do have not registration by party and also under current vermont election law, we cannot have closed primaries. so again, it would be -- i would find it unfair for states like may state, we have no other option. so i would -- i do rise in support of a small little state like vermont and other states to not support this. thank you. >> thank you. are there others who wish to rise in support? >> yes. >> the gentlelady f

of the united states. then look what happened last october. another court. the u.s. appeals court blocked the obama administration's new regulation that vastly expanded the definition of waters of the united states. the environmental protection agency wanted to give itself control over all the waters, all of them, not just the water but huge chunks of property in this country including farms and ranches and doing it by taking control of isolated pond, prairie potholes, irrigation ditches, all of these little areas. if the government can take control of all that, they control the land. what did the appeals court do? the appeals court stepped in and stopped the administration's actions because of what it called -- quote -- "the sheer breadth of the ripple effects caused by the rule." the appeals court told president obama that he's president of the united states; he is not the emperor. it's the same thing that the supreme court told president obama back in february. the supreme court stopped another e.p.a. r
