Team show you how riders responded. Foggy bought only metro station. Midday. Everything seems normal. Trains coming and going. And passengers rushing on and off. Some having their phones, buying tickets. Beneath the escalator, something out of the ordinary. A knapsack. A small camera tucked inside. With metros permission we put the bag there. 60 to 70 unattended bags are reported each month. Someone calls metro police. Agents come to inspect. The caller, unknown. But things slow down after that. We leave the bag in place. Restart the clock. New crowds arrive. We wait. And wait for more than a half hour. At one point man on his phone stands directly over our bag. Literally touching it with his foot. He doesnt report it. Instead boards the next train. Hundreds of passengers, several trains, come and go and the bag is either ignored or unnoticed. In the 39th minute of our test, janet of d. C. Comes hustling off an escalator, through the gates, to security. I saw there was an unattended kn

Ill talk more about that in detail, but i first want to comment on something that the majority leader said this morning in his opening remarks. With his what has now become trademark high p
Own words, to quote switch the majority on the court and to quote fill up the d. C. Circuit one way or another. And in the rush to eliminate any possible judicial obstacle to accountability by packing the d. C. Circuit, the Obama Administration and its allies run roughshod over the rules and traditions of this body by blowing up the filibuster. Whether through unilaterally changing the senate rules or abusing the recess appointment powers, the president and his allies have demonstrated a willingness to work untold and permanent damage to the institutions of this great body and to our constitutional system itself. Madam president , with such a powerful and aggressive president , no Single Institution can restore the constitutional checks on president obamas often lawless exercise of power. Restoring Constitutional Government will require great effort by all of us the courts, the congress, and most importantly, the voting public. Thats why its essential for my colleagues on both sides of
