More independent, impartial judiciary. You know, they are largely a historical vestige of their time. Tracy . I just agree largely what people have to say. Every selection method impacts judges decisions. Elections were adopted, as matt noted, to try to check the perceived abuse of the appointment process. I dont think it was merely perceived, the evidence is pretty strong on that. But in terms of the specific question of why dont voters then change the method of selection, whats interesting is the florida case since thats the case before us is they did change the med of selection the method of selection more appellate judges right . But not with trial judges, not with the judges that they think of as the judges in their lives.

Brightest of cuba are found and apprehended and thrown into prison. Theres no open internet there. There arent any dictators in the world.

Finally he would say this testimony from these unbelievably brave women and men who have suffered at the hands of castro helped steer off the veil of secrecy and an open secret if you will. Its been out there but thankfully its through cspan and maybe thats here and congressmen and women who will see this record you are bearing truth and bearing witness to a very ugly reality that is pervasive. Again i do believe the legitimacy that castro craves and i believe just got a helping hand thats not just might be. The Washington Post and others have aligned on that in their editorials.

If you would like to start with a brief introduction about our topic today, latino leadership in congress. Hello, everybody. But are known as grace. And have been in california many years and have inn on city council and now congress. It has been a long battle. All of you must understand, it is not easy for us to be sitting here. We have earned our way. We have had saddles and have been lucky enough to have men support us but understand we have brains and can use them. Unfortunately, we still have a battle and there is still a Glass Ceiling. There is still the ability for us to not have the support we should have on issues that are really critical to us.

What were trying to do on the other very important policy, regulatory and legislative issues that need to be addressed. And by the way on the global issues were dealing with. On romney, not talking about him as a president ial candidate, hes a skilled businessman, hes certainly gotten some experience on being in the president ial business. And i think hes a talented guy. But i could say the same thing about a lot of people. Men and women. I think its going to be fascinating. But heres my deal.
