Here to celebrate him but the presidency himself and i think thats how it was with barack obama or george bush or clinton. And bruce, you are no stranger, but a veteran of the parades. High bruce. Hey, lesli. Im at 13th and pennsylvania. The Police Mounted Unit and color guard came by and we just missed them. We are close to the trump hotel and we are hoping this is where President Trump will step out of the president ial limousine and walks among the crowd here but we have no idea, and the security concerns are big. There are protesters to be here in freedom plaza. Theres a pretty good group just the other side of e the front, many more Trump Supporters. Ive been struck as i was walking down amongst them how well everybody seems to be getting along despite the divisions that plagued our country. People are polite and talking about where to go out and get good food and enjoy the nightlife in dc. People are excited and have been down here for hours trying to get up against the barriers
Was it . Trump chose neil gorsuch over the Thomas Hardman the other finalist for the nomination. Neil gorsuch has a strong records of favoring religious freedom over other values. In two major cases he sided with the employers who did the want to provide coverage for religious grounds. He is 49 and as several degrees. He was a classmate of president obama at harvard, and hes on the 10th Circuit Court of appeals in denver. Judge gorsuch has outstanding legal skills, brilliant mind, tremendous discipline and has earned bipartisan support. We will see if the bipartisan support holds up. Tradition dictates he will be back in dc soon to make the rounds and meet with senators who he will need to vote to confirm him. Its for congress and not the courts its the law of judges to apply. The judge who likes every outcome he reaches is likely a bad judge. A little flattery for congress. If confirmed judge gorsuch can weigh in on cases important to our area over the next year.

I expect the intensity of the snow to continue picking u
Volunteers from aheinz 57 pet rescue were traveling from southern iowa when the storm hit. The group took to social media to ask for the publics help and within three hours, dog lovers in des moines answered the call. Eight families opened their homes to keep the pups safe and warm for the night. 15 43 31 we were kind of hunkered down for the night, watching a movie.
