Quorum call ms. Cortez masto mr. President , i rise today in opposition to it the nomination of lawrence van dyke to serve on the United States court of appeals for the ninth circuit. Mr. Van dyke fits neatly into this administrations pattern of picking federal judges for our Circuit Courts of appeal without meaningful input from home state senators. The president continues to select ideologically extreme nominees like mr. Van dyke, and the white house is putting forward people without enough experience for the momentous roles they have been chosen to serve. Mr. Van dyke has been nominated to fill a nevada seat on the ninth circuit, even though hes not a nevadan. He didnt grow up in my state, he doesnt appear to own property there, he doesnt seem to have family ties, and he was only an active member of the nevada state bar for two years. Senator rosen and i engage with the white house to put forward highly respected nevadans with bipartisan support, but our suggestions were summarily i

I also share the opinion that it has to be used with discretion, so that those who want to give information to the police are not intimidated by it. We had hoped that when the cameras came into police cars that that would reduce the amount of violence because at least some of us stops would be shown. In our experience and its anecdotal, to be sure, nine out of 10 accusations that we have dealt with where the violence took place in front of a squad car, in those instances the camera was inoperative.

I understand that. If you believe that, anyone, i have some oceanfront property in omaha, nebraska, to sell you at a cheap price. I think he is a body cameras needs to be done sort of in a slow criminal process. I would urge caution in adopting a nationwide because i want to give you an example of

Now i cosponsored three water p
