the united arab emirates when it comes to war in yemen and its ability in libya and also united states congress inquiry into nine eleven which basically blamed saudi arabia and the united arab emirates for lax finest regulations and also for for whiting safe havens for extremist let's listen to what the qatari diplomat had to say about the allegations made by the united arab emirates saudi arabia and bahrain and then with you don't step on our and then at night you do unfortunately what is cause for suspicion is that we find the state's target allegations at us and they don't practice what they preach they do not practice respect for state sovereignty and interfere in affairs of other states in fact they terrorize civilians and violate human rights and interfere in domestic affairs of other states in a manner that undermined international and regional peace and security and this has become evident in the repeated attempts by these states to destabilize security and stability in qatar they have plotted and finance an unsuccessful coup attempt in

it's the united states congress. it's not the united states supreme court that's supposed to fix this country, curesult call economically, socially, spiritually. that's why i say i agree with so much of what senator sasse said. it's almost become clichÉ, but the role of a judge is or at least should be to say what the law is, not what the law ought to be. that's become clichÉ, but cliches become cliches because they're true. judges are not put there to try to bypass the ballot. courts should not try to fix problems that are within the province of the united states congress, even if the united states congress doesn't have the courage to address those problems. our courts were not meant to decide these kind of issues. i'm not -- i'm not naive, i know that judges aren't robots. we can't replace you and shouldn't try to replace you with a software program based on artificial intelligence. you have discretion. we're going to talk about that if we ever get to the questioning part of this exercise. but i want to say it again

of representatives as the principals of camp david were outlined to a joint session of the united states congress by president carter. >> mr. speaker, the president of the united states. [applause] president carter: vice president mondale, speaker o'neal, distinguished members of the united states congress, justices of the supreme court, other leaders of our great nation, ladies and gentlemen, it's been more than 2,000 years since there was peace between egypt and a free jewish nation. if our present expectations are realized, this year we shall see such peace again. [applause] president carter: the first thing i would like to do is to give tribute to the two men who made this impossible dream now become a real possibility, the two great leaders with whom i have met for the last two weeks at camp david. first, president anwar sadat of egypt. [applause] president carter: and the other, of course, is prime minister menachem begin of the nation of israel. [applause] president carter: i know that all of you would agree that these are two men of great personal courage representing nations of peoples w

that is a tremendous credit the united states congress and to the bipartisan group of members who recognized that the lack of a budget is very difficult to deal with. it makes a tremendous difference to have that certainty, and of course to me beyond the budget control and sequestering. it is been a two- year agreement. that certainty will allow us to move forward quickly into the fiscal year and continue the high pace of operations with some certainty on what we can expect over the next year. before taking questions, i would like to highlight a couple of things. i want to talk about a couple of priorities for the service. first and most important is the top objectively estates air force and related affirmative defense as a whole and that is the restoration of the readiness of the forces. when i returned to federal service, i have been away from national security for time. i worked on it in the congress, and that it was a president of the university. i was focused on young adults is that of setting national security. one of the things -- there are number of things that surprised me coming ba

the treaty of versailles was never ratified by the united states congress. so the united states was never an official signer of the treater of versailles -- treaty of versailles. as a result, we also did not take part in regards to the league of nations in any way, shape, or form, so the league of nations had no teeth, which was part of the reason for the breakdown eventually. in reason that occurred was, large part, due to woodrow wilson who was an uncompromising individual himself, and did not bring any republican members of congress with him to the versailles piece talks -- versailles peace talks, which greatly irritated politicians back home, which ended up in the versailles treaty not been ratified by congress. it would take a second world war to convince popular opinion and congress that we would need to be a very active member in that piece organization afterwards. peace organization afterwards.

this is a sketch for the great seal of the united states. congress employed a committee, or got together a committee of americans with impeccable american revolutionary war credentials to come up with the design for the great seal of the united states. they cut together a second committee. the second committee turned to a man named francis hopkins. he was a signer of the declaration of independence. people who know about the history know that this sketch was never submitted as a formal proposal for what the great seal should look like. i find it fascinating that at the time when the united states was forming its government, that it was trying to codify foundational ideas and come up with an identity. the fact the native american was erased from the seal, sad to say, prefigures the history that would soon transpire of the united states erasing the american indian from the landscape. another object is this world war i helmet. it's actually a marine helmet. this is because during world war i, three or four regiments of the u.s. marines were assigned to

it's the united states congress. it's not united states supreme court that is supposed to fix this country, culturally, economically, socially, spiritually. and that's why i say i agree with so much of what senator sasse said. role ofecome ciche, the a judge is to say what the law is and not what the law ought to e. liches have become cliches because they are true. courts should not try to fix problems that are within the province of the united states congress, even if the united states congress doesn't have the courage to address those problems. our courts were not meant to decide these kinds of issues. i'm not naive. i know that judges aren't robots. we can't replace you and shouldn't try to replace you with a software program with artificial intelligence. we are going to talk about that when we get to the questioning part of this exercise. but i want to say it again, i understand why listening today and so many americans believe that the law, which i think all of us rever has become politics just pursued in another

and what you basically said is you reached out to your representative in the united states congress hoping that person would inform the white house before judge kavanaugh had been named. that's extremely persuasive about your motivation. i believe you and i believe many americans across this country believe you. what i find striking about your testimony is you remember key searing details about what happened to you. you told your husband and therapist, two of the most intimate of your con fidaunts and you told them years ago. you shared your experience with multiple friends years after that and before these hearings ever started. i know having personally prosecuted sexual assault cases and child sexual assault cases that study after study shows trauma, shame and the fear of consequences are most always caused survivors to at the very least delay reporting, if they ever report at all. police recognize that, prosecutors recognize that, medical and mental health professionals recognize that. the notes from your therapy sessions were created long before this nomination and corroborate what you

damaged not only his reputation but his family furthermore what we're doing now is that the united states congressand all those who oppose kavin on political grounds only are tending to throw away our legal protest protections that's due process presumption of innocence until proven guilty by destroying a judge that actually has upheld those rights for all americans regardless of race or politics and so we're seeing a very a much more political mindset and political strategy and when we put politics over the long we put politics over evidentiary laws and protections then we're truly undermining the fabric of what makes america so great that whole presumption the fact that we have put this out we blasted it rather than providing privacy to both parties i did i agree with andreas actually that we cannot allow somebody that is in power to have this kind of power without with impunity but at the same point we actually have leadership we have democratic leadership who has not been called accountable for by the media we have for democrat. at least tom carper we have several others that people have come
