Todays secretary, to the president , too i says congress and our lives less than 490,000 men and women in uniform. Absolutely appeared to plan with god now takes an active army of 450000. When they make sure you understand the question. In the absence of sequestration with sequestration requires, which you otherwise see a circumstance in which you recommend the 450,000 450,000 personnel to the secretary . Is there a scenario in which theyll look good for the safety and security of our country . Teaching staff of the army and the secretary have a plan that they have put forward where they can meet the National Security interest in the numbers bear. I have supported them in now. General odierno himself would tell you that greater risk than a 490 army. The question really becomes back to my testimony about the security environment. Where do we want to maintain the forward presence that we have . If the answer to that as we want to be less worried and more at home, we just incurred risk. A

Fellow americans in their privacy being protected while providing our intelligence agencies with the authorities they need to acquire foreign intelligence that is so important to our National Security. The bill passed by the house last month would make some significant changes to the provisions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that we believe will help us meet these two objectives. Among other provisions, the bill would prohibit bulk collection of information under section 215, the National Security letter statutes, and the pen register trap and trace provisions of fisa. It replaces the bulk telephony Metadata Collection Program with a new framework that preserves the capabilities we need without the Government Holding the bulk metadata. To be clear, the president called for this transition not because the program was illegal or was being abused but rather to give the public greater confidence that their privacy is being appropriately protected while maintaining the tools t
Home to New Hampshire in late spring and spent some time talking with his High School Music teacher she knew that he went to Harvard Law School but didnt know that he was working with me and she kind of unloaded on him about his great disillusionment with the Supreme Court. She had been looking at the headlines about how partisan divisions seem to be any one of the people whose journalism she respects, people like Linda Greenhouse were saying this is a very partisan and polarized court. Why should i trust these guys and my student tried to reassure her that its not as bad as all of that. She wasnt convinced.

They didnt find the analogy very persuasive and said that the new chief justice says that hes only going to be an umpire calling strikes. Its all neutral and objective. People dont go to the ballgame to see the entire. They go to see the catcher. They see the pitcher.

Well ask our sunday panel whats at risk and how the u. S. That. So disappointing to see him continue to roll out these farleft nominees that be lie the points hes made since the election that he wants to govern in a sense of unity or from the middle. If youre asking me how weve seen the kind of progressive appointments, nominations that i would like to see, the answer is not yet. Chris when republicans say theres no chance theyll confirm the budget director, when some democrats say they wont approve a waiver to let retired general lloyd austin serve as defense secretary, does president elect biden, jen, think that theyre bluffing . I dont think president elect biden would nominate anyone he didnt think was qualified and didnt think should deserve consideration and confirmation by the United States senate.
