i bring you greetings from poor and working people in the us of america. i stand here today as a formally homeless mother. a single mother of two children mark and guillermo santos. i accept the green party's nomination for vice president of the united states. this journey began many years ago for me. watching my poor mother struggle to survive and provide for five hungry children. i never knew why we had to go hungry, specially when i saw so much food in my home state of minnesota. i did not understand. i grew up watching my mom cry night after night about the bills. i grew up watching farmers lose their farms. and i grew up watching families struggle for something as basic as their land. something just did not seem right to me. especially that day when i had to tell my 9-year-old son, mark, that we were no longer going to be living in an apartment. instead we would have to move into our car. but on a cold winter night in minnesota, i lost my home, the car. when i parked my car in a drunk driver hit and totaled it. unable to find shelter in the dead of the

it would there have to be no use of america to the death penalty just -- you stepped on two big issuese. >> what you talking about there is the other big theoretical issue raised by the book. one is textualism and we talked about that. the second is originalism. what that says is the text ought to be given the meaning it had when it was adopted or when it was ratified in the case of the constitution. thus, the words unusual punishment in the 8th amendment should be given the meaning. they were understood to have by the american people who ratified it. it was clear that when that 8th amendment was ratified, the death penalty was not considered to be prohibited. indeed, the death penalty existed in all the states and was the only penalty for a felony. for somebody today to say somehow the american people have prohibited the states by ratifying the constitution, they have prohibited the states from applying the death penalty, i don't know where this comes from. the american people never voted for any such thing. that's what originalism is. what did this mean when the american people ratif
