Constitution, we had states like connecticut that had established churches still. But they were not active in that way. So i guess this idea of sharia being so broad seems to me to be more than just about whatever religion you believe in, because there are millions and millions of people who are muslims who do not subscribe to the overall political ideology that comes with that. Yes, thats thats absolutely right. You can have an established religion. In the United States we prefer not to have that. We disestablished our churches in the states, i think the last ones died out in the 1830s. But britain has the Anglican Church, it has an established religion, but it is respectful of the rights of religious minorities. I lived in britain myself for five years lives a graduate student and as a visiting scholar. I was not a member of the established church but i was entirely free to practice my own religion. We wouldnt want to say to the british, you have an obligation under human rights to d
I now convene this hearing of the oversight and investigation subcommittee entitled the gm ignition switch recall investigation update. I thiank my colleagues and presenters for being here. Ms. Barra, when you were before this committee almost three months ago you could not answer many of the subcommittees questions about why it took General Motors years to figure out why the air bags in the cobalts, ions, hhrs were not deploying when they should have. It took gm years before finally issuing a safety recall. Now mr. Valucas has made public his report on the gm fiasco in which he concludes it doesnt appear to be a case of a coverup or a conspiracy. Instead, according to mr. Valukass report gms failure to recall faulty vehicles was a case of incompetence and neglect. Perhaps this report should have been subtitled dont assume malfeasance when incompetence will do. I still have questions about whether gm employees knowingly withheld information during previous liability lawsuits. Informati
To be a concern about the growth of government and government power in general. And think the Obama Administration in the past 18 months has stepped into a number of woodchuck holes that have a them look not particularly competent and graceful, and not concerned about congressional power. The republicans made a good effort at saying he is becoming an imperial person, you doing stuff on his own, which of w congresse cannot get to pass anything, so he has to do things on his own. In his a backandforth issue. The backandforth on this really does help republicans. The economy has seemingly but it has gone through fits and starts in the past two months. Itcould see it slow a bit if is not Getting Better ands lives. That could help democrats. More time to talk about 2016 later on. Thank you for being with us. An f on transparency and freedom of information. I think my colleagues in journalism would give a similar grade, whether they are liberal or conservative. The freedom of information pro
Ask in particularfor and further aid forthcoming and we ask in particular for economic support where an area goes into a tier 3 and that is exactly what i announced with respect to lancashire and of course that is part of the discussions that we have with local authorities when further actions are needed. So, absolutely my mr speaker, more economic support from this governance, yes my more work with local authorities to deliver the local approach that is needed, yes, more testing capacity, yes, these are all the things that the government is delivering and i behold the honourable gentleman to acknowledge and support them since we are all clearly trying to deliver the same thing which is to suppress the same thing which is to suppress the virus and save lives. Canl can i congratulate the speaker on the news about the testing which is the news about the testing which is the most significant potential news this house has heard on the fight against a virus for many weeks. Given the dangers
The size of tb dinners, no seconds. By 9 00 every evening, i was hungry again and had to go to churchs chicken. By our senior year, dr. Glasser was glad to see the class of 1979 leave his school, but not without one more fight. Dr. Laster had invited a civil rights leader of National Stature to be our commencement beaker. We told him his choice was not acceptable. To us, the speaker was too mainstream, and i now realize i am out on a limb with john. So in 1979, our baccalaureate was louis farrakhan, and our Commencement Speaker was the leader of the revolutionary movement in zimbabwe. Me, the four years was transformational. I told you my freshman year gpa was 1. 8. By sophomore year, something had awakened within me. I found who i was here. I became comfortable in my own skin and proud of my own skin color. In the fall some master of my sophomore year, sitting in room 217 of what was then thurman hall, now llc, and realizing there was nothing left for me to do but study. I wanted to g
