Is there a number of times that they get to do this . Thats a good and tough question. Its so tough that i decided not to use the mike. Thats a good and a tough question. What the law provides, what the administrative procedure act provides is that a court can compel an agency to take action of the delay taking when its been unreasonably delayed. Unreasonable is not a precise term but i dont know how it can be written in any other manner. It depends on what the circumstances are. And as i indicated, there have been times when courts have told agencies its now time to get your act together and do this. Those cases have been rare and involve much longer delays than the current one and they involve powerful evidence that the agency is not merely trying to force a law in, its not trying to enforce it at all. As i said, and as professor turley noted, there have been cases of administration sitting on their hands and not carrying outlaws and that clearly is illegal and unconstitutional. Its
Yes. Im ariane with abc news. Stand. We want to make sure who were talking here. Can we get a bright light on you, please. I had a question. I happened to be looking at facebook and i think but i have no idea, i looked up and saw that there was alonis with the same name and he is posting on facebook. Talk big picture. Either way the court rules, what is the impact on the average person who posts on facebook . What sort of the big picture impact. Youre talking about current posts. I thought i did. I cant say for sure but i thought it was interesting. Whats the Bigger Picture . Were they over the top . Well, so, you know, the law professor in me resists the idea about what this case is about and what we should think its about is the law of facebook. Theres kind of risk of creating what we like to call the law of the horse. The law of an inanimate object or particular medium and Something Like that. First amendment area by and large the Supreme Court has resisted doing that. They want the
Thi this. Ice forgot about the plan or is not using the plan. It closed its Family Detention Center in texas a couple of years before this got out of hand. What i. C. E. Ended up doing was releasing some of the family members, some of them getting parole status. They have released information on where the unaccompanied juveniles have been resettled so far which i put in the packet. Total of 37,000 of them theyve provided details on with the majority going to a handful of states which are a little bit different than the unusual patterns of illegal settlement here. Over 5,000 in texas. 4,000 in new york. 4,000 in california. Almost the same number in florida as in california. And also significant populations of almost 3,000 in virginia and maryland. What theyre doing is people are going to places where there are already existing established communities of Central Americans who arrived before them. The numbers, im sure, are going to increase next year. And the reason is no one is being se
Here, were not suing the president because he lied about weapons of mass destruction and brought us into a war where thousands of americans were killed and almost bankrupted our treasury. Were not suing because of some sort of deal to Exchange Arms for hostages. Were focused in on a narrow provision of the Affordable Care act, i guess, because we havent seen the exact lawsuit theyre going to file. Im just trying to figure out, if everything goes the way they want it to then they get a judge to hear it and it gets all the approvals they want, what is success . What is the end of all this . What do they get . Someone explain to me what happens if they win. As i said earlier, mr. Mcgovern, any victory was likely to come before the grace period had expired for business in any event, but sorry, after the grace period ended. Thank you. But in a larger sense, the theory of standing here, that theres an institutional injury in one house of the congress. If an executive administration in admini
About that but i dont think it serves in great purpose here today. So what i will do is ask o to be on the record for that and your sons service and thats what makes america great. I have a commitment that we will follow through with weapons. Well, as i said, we are deeply committed. The kurds are essential partners in this. We have enormous respect for the courage they have shown and fight she have taken to isil. And we are aiming for success, congressman. Believe me, the president is deeply committed to this effort. One theng i would say after the list of mistakes is i honestly cant think of a president who has taken more risks and put more on the line to fight the continued struggle against terrorism specifically. His efforts in afghanistan, his efforts in pakistan, efforts in yemen, efforts in mali, efforts in libya. You can run the list. Mr. Secretary, one final question, yes or no, is america at war . Well, you know, im going to answer that mr. Chairman. But you know, a lot of pe
