Threaten the National Security of both israel and the United States. Our president and our government have not been able to secure the release of an american citizen languishing in an iranian prison. Simply for his christian faith. Now ill tell you something incredible. During the time pastor saeed has been in prison, hes been able to lead dozens of fellow prisoners and Prison Guards to chri christ. [ applause ] and then you look to another example. An example of Miriam Ibrahim. Miriam is someone who every elected official, every american should be speaking out. Miriam ibrahim is a young woman, a wife, mother, she is in prison in sudan, for the crime of being a christian. Miriam has a 20monthold son, his name is martin. And she has a newborn baby daughter mia. Miriam gave birth to baby maya just a few weeks ago, in a sudanese prison while in leg irons.

These monuments are supposed to serve the nations interest by linking together its peoples and legitimating federal au
It so requires. Dont be fooled, she said. Only the Supreme Court so required. The federal arbitration act was never meant to produce this outcome. In the hands of todays majority, arbitration threatens to become more nearly the opposite, a mechanism easily made to block the vindication of meritorious federal claims and insulate wrongdoers from liability. The court thus undermines the federal arbitration act no less than it does the sherman act and other federal statutes providing rights of action. So, commissioner wright, in your written testimony you argue that the courts should set the rules of the road for internet openness through antitrust law. But how could a complaint of anticompetitive behavior even reach the courts if its lawful to force every consumer, Small Business and employee to arbitrate their claims in a foreign venue that is secret, thats for profit. Youre familiar with the arbitration process . No jury trial, no right to appe appeal. How does your opinion about how th

Youre familiar with the arbitration process . No jury trial, no right to appe appeal. How does your opinion about how the internet should be regulated fare in comparison to, or in light of that Supreme Court ruling . I appreciate the question. Im going to give you two quick answers. One is there is nothing in that decision that would preclude the ftc or the doj from bringing in a case. We are not in arbitra
