Powerful and influential places saying things that just dont square with the facts. Its about a u. N. Treaty that failed to be ratified by the senate. A treaty that was meant to encourage other countries to be more like the u. S. On equal rights of the disabled. If other countries adopted better treatment of their disabled citizens, the idea is that disabled americans who visit or live in other countries would also benefit. 125 countries ratified the treaty. It was supported by george bush, signed by the current president , and has support from both sides of the aisle like john mccain and bob dole himself a world war ii veteran. He was wheeled onto the senate floor, you can see, for the vote he hoped to see the treaty ratified. Instead after pressure from special interest groups, 38 republicans some vowing to support the treaty voted no. One was the Home School Legal Defense association. The hslda, the powerful lobby group around the country whose leader youre about to meet. They had s
For 22 years i have served with you. First, and his team as a delicate. Then as attorney general, and now as governor. While this public chapter of my life draws to a close, ive realized im not the only one saying farewell. Tonight. So tonight i want to say on behalf of a grateful commonwealth, that we all salute the Great Service of our Lieutenant Governor bill bolling, was redefined his office as a jobs creator, a policy leader, and a cabinet member, and presided over the senate with grace. Thank you, bill, for over two decades of outstanding service. [cheers and applause] will probably be fishing on monday. I also want to recognize the Great Service of attorney general Ken Cuccinelli and thinking for solid legal advice, strong conservative leadership and his care for the disenfranchised. I also want to welcome the 16 of Union Members who were sworn in earlier today. And i want to implore you, never forget the thrill of what youve experienced today. Because it will make you a better
It really is fun. Thank you, ali. Have a good evening, friend. Thank you. Well, if youve never seen the attorney general of the United States lie under oath to the House Judiciary Committee, then today was your lucky day. And i say lucky because being a witness to history is lucky. Those of us who lived through the watergate investigation that brought down the nixon presidency consider ourselves lucky to witness all of that in the early 1970s, because it showed us something very, very important about our government and politics. It showed us how bad it could be. How genuinely evil it could get. The nation watched as 48 Nixon Administration officials were found guilty of crimes in the watergate investigation, the same investigation that produced the three articles of impeachment that the House Judiciary Committee passed, that forced Richard Nixon to become the first president in history to resign the presidency. Richard nixons first attorney general, John Mitchell, was the 67th attorney
This time next week. Ali, i have to say, this is one of the most humiliating periods in american political journalism, and it is that period that includes the guessing game of whos going to be selected for Vice President. Some of the dumbest things that we ever say are said during that period, and are proven so when the choice is made. So im going to just stay quiet. Given the things that weve had to speculate about in the last 3 1 2 years, this one feels light and not too damaging. Thats a great point. It really is fun. Thank you, ali. Have a good evening, friend. Thank you. Well, if youve never seen the attorney general of the United States lie under oath to the House Judiciary Committee, today was your lucky day. And i say lucky because being a witness to history is lucky. Those of us who lived through the watergate investigation that brought down the nixon presidency consider ourselves lucky to witness all of that in the early 1970s, because it showed us having very, very important
