Pressing thoughts they would like to address with the panel. Right here in the front. The flaw in the current law . There is defamation, intimidation whenever we have a high profile case, theres a from people who think they can solve the problem or people who were injured who want a new law specifically for that issue. Why do we need a new law in this case . Do you want to start . Rights work did not start with any high profile case. Years ago when average people were being affected by this. This has been something that is happening private citizens for years. This is not some high profile case we are responding to out of a sense of now that has happened to someone famous we care. We care about this because the experience of victims has been that none of these laws work. If the image is out there, if it was not necessarily by someone trying to harass, and many of them do not, just to give you a concrete example, just a couple of weeks ago, the Highway Patrol officers who have arrested
Name calling between boehner and mcconnell, but its not going to be that much easier for things to move smoothly through the house and then through the senate, including many of those bills that passed the house the last time.

And keep your eye, not as a president ial prospect but as a serious potential running mate, brian sandoval,
Would be certainly the likely candidate. But the other thing is perhaps there was a report a couple weeks ago about the potential Lindsey Graham for 2016. He was bored. But to the point of there will be sort of this jocking for a position on Foreign Policy matters. And senator graham from South Carolina who david mentioned had really not erased for his own reelection. Hes certainly in this camp with mccain,. Rubio seems to be in that group. Im interested to watch is what the senator from New Hampshire is who is up in 2016. And New Hampshire was the one place on the senate map where there was a close contested race that was supposed to be a close contested race and the democrat held on. Scott brown is not returning to the senate. Senator shaheen won reelection. Shes always with mccain or often with mccain and graham on that sort of thing and shell be an interesting one to watch there to. The three amigos. I think mccain tweeted out there will be a new member of he amigos. The isis threa
