united states. as designed by our founding fathers and framed in the constitution, each state is awarded electoral votesthe number of congressional members. today i stand in this well being honored as one of those to serve in the united states congress. two additional members will have the honor of providing ohio the privilege to cast 18 electoral college votes in favor of the candidate who won our state's general election. as citizens of this great state, our views, our opinions are valuable, and our 18 electoral college votes helped decide who becomes the president of the united states and who does not. as a citizen of this date, i am so proud to call ohio home, where i join the 11 million other citizens, the citizens from 241 cities, 681 villages, and more than 1300 townships. ohio is called the mother of presidents. it is the home of eight great ohioans who have become president of these united states -- presidents william henry harrison, benjamin harrison, william mckinley, william howard taft, james abrams garfield, warren harding, ulysses s. grant, and rutherford hayes. it is my pleasure today to

everything from the united states constitution to presidents to why certain laws came into play. at very different levels, there are certain questions that are asked. the 8th graders really were the ones who did, i would say, perform the best when we consider the 4th and we consider the 12th grade. >> that's because 8th graders' scores improved over the last time the test was given. 4th graders and 12th graders did not. in fact, a majority of 12th graders turned in a poor performance. their questions were harder, and their correct answers were fewer. 55% of 12th graders scored below the basic level. what does this show? >> mm, lauren, that's not good news at all. [ chuckles ] and what does that mean for our 12th graders? it means that we have to find a way to engage our 12th graders in learning u.s. history. we have to make it more important to them. so, we have a lot of work to do, definitely, at the 12th-grade level. >> there's a famous saying -- "those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it." so, the lessons of the past are worth learning. for "teen kids news," i'm

it doesn't mean he's not going to consult foreign law when interpreting the united states constitution. too often in this country we have judges applying their own meanings to the constitution and to the laws passed by congress. or allowing their own biases to affect their decisions. i can state confidently to my colleagues that judge dowdell will not be this type of a judge. in his questions for the record to the judiciary committee, mr. dowdell has stated that he does not agree with the notion that the constitution is a living document that constantly evolves as society interprets it. he further states that the constitution changes only through the amendment process as set forth in article a 5 of the constitution. that's refreshing. of course, -- the court's job is to apply the constitution, not amend the rights contained therein. that's a quote by him. based on these statements i can say his judicial philosophy is in keeping with the framers and in lock step with my own philosophy. my only wish is we'd get more of this type of judicial nominee from the administration. it's for these

united states. next year, we will do one of our mac lines in the united states. >> let's say our constitution was afferent and barack obama called you in tomorrow and said, get everybody out of china and do whatever you have to do, make these, make everything you make in the united states. what would that do to the price of this device? >> honestly, it's not so much about price. it's about the skills, et cetera. over time, there are skills that are associated with manufacturing that have left the view out. >> cook says apple has already created more than 600,000 jobs here in the u.s., that includes everything from research and development to retail to a solar power farm. he also points to the app industry, another one of those that didn't exist before apple came along. all those icons and all those downloads employ a lot of people. >> all this side is ipods here. >> it was such a different world just six years ago when we sat down with steve jobs for one of his last television interviews. he showed us around apple's flagship store on fifth avenue in new york which six years later is still the big g

united states and. then you're a. constitution to be democracy. on the other hand not kind of kind of constitutional government. unusual or not normal lifestyle not going to be something that should. so it's the rights of the minority that are. some of the liberals and. they have a right to be worried. israel's plans for even more new settlers are causing a stir we talk about that soon it's approved a further three hundred housing units in east jerusalem in continue to tally a show start if you're not great but also. poor feel used to live in the slums now the economically disadvantaged occupies substandard housing in the inner cities and voters with vocabulary we look at are the new america political lexicon of how semantics could mask or parties are really up to the right. i never thought i could earn a living this way. i should just small arms so that's what i was to machine building plant a lot are also lost count of all the weapons just fired over the past twelve years when i got so used to it sometimes my friends ask me to join them at the r

it's amazing how hard the exercise their first amendment rights under the constitution of the united statesou. >> president chiu: thank you. >> good evening, honorable mr. president and the board of supervisors. my name is -- long time cab driver. i'm here to speak about proposition k, which was established by the people of san francisco 30 plus years ago drivers, to earn one, not to buy one. since sf mta took over the taxi commission and they sold 292 medallions and they gave medallion holders $250,000 and those are the people who are collecting 2-3,000 a month for their rental income for 30 plus year. and then they gave 50 medallions to the single operator -- to people with not on the medallion waiting list for no cost. onojpb top of that, they gave 1o 250 medallions these directed to the cab companies. all those medallions should have gone to the medallion waiting list to earn, not to buy one. today, sf mta board and the list to giving 200 medallions to the first 200 qualified drivers on the -- and the rest, like people me, go to"ja÷ how, working continuously for 24 years, serving the pu

they would defend the law themselves: >> "i raised my hand to uphold and defend the constitution of the united states laws of our country, and if the justice department was not going to defend this act passed by congress, ll, then we will." >> whether the house has the legal right to defend the law in the supreme court is unclear. a similar question arises with prop 8 in california, where the state has also decided not to defend that law, giving the justices an easy out for a narrow decision or to sidestep the issue altogether if they choose. historically, the court moves very slowly on social issues-following the trends, rarely leading them. the court took the lead in 1954, desegregating the nation's schools, igniting the civil rights movement. resistance s massive, however. it wasn't until 1967 that the court got around to addressing interracial marriage in the case of richard and mildred loving, who were convicted of violating virginia's law against interracial marriage, a felony punishable by prison. >> "they sentenced us to one year in the state penitentiary. then they suspended for 25 years and

the very first word of the constitution of the united states is the word "we." i don't think we focus on that enough. the preamble describes common goals. i think in the wake of this awful event in connecticut, there really was a discussion where even americans who believe passionately in the second amendment, who believe in an individual right to bear arms, nonetheless said this right comes with obligations to the community. and the community has a right to impose rules in order to protect little children and other innocent people in the country. and i think kevin is right. at the end of this, there did seem to be a very different quality to the discussion. we've been so passive as a nation in the face of one. beautiful, innocent children who were killed here, and i think it took a lot of people back and said, maybe we should forget about the old politics of gun control and try to do something this time. >> and would you care to venture any guess as to whether something meaningful can come from this? >> i have some hope. and i think the religious community will
