Our cspan campaign 2016 bus is in chicago this week at the National Conference of state legislatures asking what issue is more important to you, your district, and your state. Probably the most important thing issue is education by far. All of the things that were top of the bad list and bottom of the good list is all because of lack of education. Weve got some of the general population in louisiana, and we need to do a better job to starting probably childhood education and going forward. My name is ryan, im from u. S. Virgin islands and the most important issue in my district right now is having the United States giving the Virgin Islands allow to vote. Curr
Defensive. I am curious whether why do you think that is . Clicks i think it is a problem. Testified, it was just so start. It is an arcane subject. It is somehow, i dont think it just reflects the polarization people refer to all the time. It could be there are lots of possibilities. Some people say the parties have somewhat different philosophies about government interventions in power so one party so generally, less interventionist. Another is more interventionist . There are more political reasons. Good. T think it is people mean well, trying to be constructive. Reason, it has gotten very partisan. Why . Issues we all want to have a stronger economy, a stable economy. There is nothing partisan about it. To theuld go way back Jennings Bryan type of partisanship. I dont think it is that you are that it isct polarized politically understands why it is a bad idea, in part because the fed has to carry that out. That would ultimately politicize the process, reduce the credibility, and ma

President s and congress has followed, that this would lead to a paralysis of our ability to defend ourselves. All of the framers agreed about war and i dont think that is true either like bruce said. I would look at the constitutional text. I have a free copy someone gave me. I expect some place like the committee on the republic we have one. Article 1 says no state shall without the consent of congress engage in war unless actually invaded or in such eminent danger delay isnt allowed. That is the constitutional balance of powers that bruce thinks should apply between the president and congress. All you would have to do is take out the word state and put in the word president. Unless we are invaded or danger of attack. Why couldnt the framers written that if they had intended what bruce said . Instead they wrote provisions that gave some power to congress, some to the president and expected them to fight it out. I want to bring the argument to the contemporary period. I know john was
It is in january 2017. Their is a new president in the oval office. It is the first day on the job. You are there to advise the next president as to how to deal with the rise of an entire american non normative liberal bloc of superpowers. Speaks softly and carry a big stick.

What does make sense . Profiling. Profiling. That is how the israelis do it. To be perfectly explicit, but the profiles are and how they are to be pursued. Explicit profiling is subject, as it should be commented democratic debate about what the threats are and how they had to be dealt with. What we have now is so necessarily a kind of bill live via a hidden, arbitrary profiling. And you, because of y
