pay for the pensions. now, iowa congressman bruce braley wants the house ways and means committee to take a look at this saying i ve heard from i iowans are concerned that generous early retirement packages for key employees are potentially diverting significant resources from serving families. i m worried american girl scouts are selling cookies to fund pension plans instead of camping. the girl scouts are saying, look, we re doing whatever is necessary to pay the bills and keep up in this different changing environment quoting change can be unsettling. it s not surprising some would prefer us to remain static, doing so would be a disservice to girls who need us now more than ever. you have to consider over the past ten years, the girl scouts have changed their uniforms, their handbooks, the merit badges, even the logos on the boxes of cookies have changed.
joe stack, joe stack crashed a plane into the irs building as well. we have anti-government, anti-tax people. we have the recent release of a handbook designed by al qaeda to train loners in small cells. they have a pipe bomb similar to one used here if in fact it was one. let me say this. i would point to smaller rather than bigger. and what i mean is, as deadly as this was, this was not a sophisticated type of device that would be beyond someone who was committed who could have access to handbooks on the internet available to a wide variety of people who could have motives ranging from domestic anti-government, anti-tax all the way to international and, of course, never under estimate the wide card, someone with a
the aclu submitted a freedom of information request and they received documents and manuals from the irs which basically claim that the irs says that they believe that they have the right to go through e-mails. there was a case, united states versus warshak, which basically threw out e-mail evidence in an irs case and you can t use it. but now the big question, monica, i want to explain it all up front, whether or not they re actually adhering that case and whether it applies to the 6th district court and not other places, right? right. it is interesting that the aclu filed this because they re invoking fourth amendment protections. the fourth amendment guaranties protection against illegal search and seizure. what they re saying this is actually an illegal search performed by any government agency. in this case you have got the irs which is the most feared government agency in america, now there is another reason to fear them. according to their handbooks, as recently as 2010 they r
and this one was, i don t know, five quarters long. kind of looked like a gun? yeah. when i was done, it turned out to be a gun, yeah. so let me ask your dad another question. there was a letter sent home from the school to families. part of the letter reads this. one of our students we re talking about your son here used food to make inappropriate gestures that disrupted the class. while no one was harmed, the student had to be removed from the classroom. they go on to say there s this code of student conduct. a handbook was sent home. can be found on the website, and you have to sign a form indicating that you understand it all. and frankly, as much as you may disagree with what they claim, at the end of the day, it s in the handbook and you signed it. don t they have a point? i would say they have a point. i also believe that there needs to be some common sense injected into such handbooks and rules and et cetera. obviously, we need rules for a
any background checks and they re bought not just at gun shows but at other unlicensed dealers. there are thousands all over the country. anytime that issue has been raised or the issue about assault weapons, martin, to your question, i think the existing ones need to be taken off the streets. we don t know the details about what happened today but we know that that would solve a lot of these kind of mass killings, anytime even those two issues, and that s just a place to toure s point where you start. there are many other places to go beyond that. but even where you start, you have not seen with all due respect, krystal, much respect from the membership, much support from the membership of the nra and certainly steadfast opposition from the national rifle association, and, again, if you look at even what the handbooks from al qaeda and terrorist groups have said, they ve said because these laws are so lax, it is so easy to get these assault weapons that can
