This, as with other aspects of this nightmarish problem the u. S. Needs to lead its partners in the region and internationally in stepping up the effort so its closer to the level of the problem. We have again, we have declaratory policies about humanitarian issues but theres no followthrough. People make pledges they never deliver. Ive looked at camps in kurdistan. I remember seeing the sea of tents last year in northern jordan where syrians have come. Ive seen the camps in turkey. And, you know, if you really want to think about the nightmare, think about all those young men in those camps. Very little jobs, money, but radical preachers. People talking to them about settling scores and its a formula for not just another four, eight years of trouble but a generation of nightmarish problems. We saw what happened when the palestinians were dispersed and went into camp and had radicals banging them every day about the struggle. And i think its i fear its already too late to have caught t
So we can debate the law and what is appropriate but we cant give criminals a free pass toig north law or the laws that reason pass to ignore the laws or the laws that are on the books. Im sorry, i must oppose the amendment and strongly urge my colleagues to do the same. The chair does the gentleman reserve . Mr. Calvert i reserve the balance of my time. The chair the gentleman from california reserves his time. The gentleman from alabama is recognized. Thank you mr. Chairman. With all due respect to my colleague from california, no one is in favor of allowing criminals to commit crimes at any level of federal government. Palm palm or any part of the country mr. Palmer or any part of the country. I think it should be troubling to every member of this body that we have gone over the line in regard to becoming what could be viewed as a police state. In regard to the raid on the Wastewater Treatment facility, that is a city facility. That is the federal government sending armed agents and
The chair will alternate recognition between the parties with each party limited to one hour and each member other than the majority and minority leaders and the minority whip limited to five minutes, but in no event shall debate continue beyond 11 50 a. M. The chair recognizes the gentleman from the gentleman from oregon, mr. Blumenauer for five minutes. Mr. Blumenauer thank you, mr. Speaker. One of the most difficult and challenging situation any family faces is dealing with circumstances surrounding the end of life. Earlier this week, n. P. R. Ran a fascinating story on a little known fact that physicians die differently than the rest of us. They are more comfortable, theyre more likely to spend their final days surrounded by loved ones. They seldom die in an i. C. U. Or in a hospital setting. Thats because doctors understand what works and what doesnt. Doctors are very clear about their wishes, and they choose quality of life and concern for their families as well as their own well
Justice . This was interesting. Obama has gotten attention for his comments on court cases particularly before theyre decided, as well as after where i think its perhaps a bit more typical for president to speak after decisions are made. But it did seem interesting that i mean he actually went as far to criticize the cert stage when he said the court shouldnt have even taken the case. So it was interesting. And just by coincidence i happen to have sitting in my inbox a study of president ial comments on pending Supreme Court cases since 1954. Looking at this study and seeing how really rare it was, although not completely unheard of for president to comment when they had cases of which they took some interest before the Supreme Court, i dont think it is going to be a very typical thing. I think this as one factor that the study itself observed, president s most likely to comment on pending cases tend to be lawyering who think they know a lot about the law and are in a position to discu
The federal acquisition regulations provide for different models. 15 is one set, another set is referred to as 12 and there are others that do exactly that and provide guidance when it is appropriate to use the less elaborate systems. So there is some flexibility within that. Is far15 the biggest and scariest monster out there. Yes. But there are bigger monsters. But you just mentioned that to scare us. Ghost stories. It happens in the world we live in at ula. The question that was mentioned, monopoly. But nobody likes monopoly but in the best case we would have adieu only or adieu og only, we need other millionaire to back miss van gleek or where is branson with others with eggees and when you say the Business Case isnt exciting about this, the diminishing number of pay loads, the substantial risk it takes an investors ego to propel the sort of speculative investment, the glory of space faring. But so i think as we fear monopoly we should fair in mind the best case is were going to ha
