Committee today. Rather than rehash all of those i will refer back to those, it will cause me to vote against this nominee. She is undoubtedly a very bright lawyer she has had a successful career. I none of us have concerns about her willingness to stand as an independent evaluation of the legality and constitutionality of the administrations actions have caused me great concern. I hoped and expected my concerns would be alleviated during the hearings. They were intensified at that hearing and that is a source of disappointment to me. Has for bills that are under consideration today, in the last congress, and i supported senator coin ins legislation to protect the victims of trafficking. I hope to be able to do so again today but some of that made depends on the outcome of our votes on some of the amendments. I support senator blooms alls amendment and as unanimous consent to be added as a cosponsor of that amendment. Without objection so ordered. Some amendments cost me some concern i
Shared by everyone in this country regardless of how they came here. If someone is here regardless of status, i would prefer they be participating in the workplace than not participating in the workplace. I know she corrected that and backed off the statement. I would say this is the president s policy. The president s policy is to allow people unlawfully here to take jobs in america, a policy she explicitly stated she intends to defend. She will use the power of the department of justice to defend this action, which is a direct affront to the congress of the United States. It was not a casual statement when i asked her that.

The National Institutes of medicine have made several regular projections on this. The most recent one is at 75 750 billion a year. Well, the institutes of medicine are pretty serious folks and theyre entitled to respect when they say that we can have those kind of savings. Rand corporation a lot of people know a lot about. Its a very, very expert organization. They actually have done two things. Theyve looked at what we can snaif Health Care Save in health care and then theyve looked at what we can save in Health Care Plus an additional bit for dealing with waste and fraud. And they gave ranges for the two. The midpoint of the range for savings is about 730 billion.

With i read the proposals yesterday about the changes on the muni bus stop themselves at the corner of dero and macalister, it put the wind of me on my death bed which is probably only a couple of years away given me age. I checked around with every single business and none of them new about the changes to the bus stops themselves and at the corner of dearo and macalister are four businesses and three are own by mid eastern people and one from africa, and two of those businesses will be directly impacted by the changes in the bus stop.
