Went on the floor that day, the first thing i did was go over to bird. I said bob byrd i will never know the rules of the senate like you do. Ill make you a deal. I will never surprise you, if you will not surprise me. He said let me think about it. He came back later that afternoon and said ok. And we never did. I think that tradition has carried on. I think dole adopted that point of view. The system, and the rules of the senate are such, that theres plenty of room for disagreement and controversy. To do so within the framework of organization without sneaking up on your adversary. Some of the interview with former Senate Majority leader howard baker airing at 8 00 eastern 5 00 pacific. News from the pentagon planning more cuts for benefits for troops and the 2016 budget to be submitted to the white house in february. Military pay and benefits cost 185 billion in 2011. That decreased by 8 billion. That was mostly due to the reduction in active duty and reserve troops. You can read mo
Nd students can hear all sides f the constitutional debates at the center of American Life and make up their own minds. This is an exciting moment. It is also a time familial celebration. Many donors are here tonight. Their names are recognized in the gallery. William and Hillary Rodham clinton, president clinton served as chair of the Constitution Center after president bush and their friendship is a model for the bipartisanship the center exemplifies. It is my privilege to introduce the superb share of the national Constitution Center. When i began this wonderful job, governor jeb bush told me his father considered his service to be his most meaningful postpresident ial service. That persuaded bush to follow clinton. His commitment to educating children of all ages about the founding documents has helped to cement our exciting collaborations with the college board, intelligence squared, with whom we started a onstitutional debate series, and a model for nonpartisanship and patriotism
Representing atheists and secular people that scalia dismissed. I believe it was, they will never be satisfied, we dont need to consider them. We were talking about complicity in hobby lobby. This new idea that the catholic majority has brought in. If you make it easier for somebody to commit a sin, that sin can be placed back on to you. The owners of hobby lobby were allowed to not provide contraception. How does that fit in with the concept of the judge as an umpire . Surely, if you have five justices who believe, for example, a portion is a sin if they make a decision that says abortion can be legal, under that same.

He was among Freedom Fighters of became mayors. And change the culture of those towns. Marion was a Freedom Fighter and a longdistance runner. You can cross the finish line with a resume, and add campaign, and some money and be on official but marion came not as a show horse but a workhorse. He came across the line with people in it. Lifting up the seniors and the poor and those was a backs were against the wall. He was a hero. He has got scars from his scars. He got his scars from his scars. Stars from his scars. Some will have only uniforms because they did not volunteer for the team. Cowards. Local changes a contact sport. Some make the team but never the field. Those on the field have grass stains and blood on the uniforms. No one ever hit a homerun or scored a touchdown from the bench or from the stands. If you play baseball, you get hit with a fastball sometimes. If you play football, you get tackled over and over again. Marion got bloodied, but never bowed. He died in office ser
