Welcome everybody. Good morning. Today our Judiciary Committee considers an important and timely topic. The First Amendment on College Campuses. Senator feinstein and i will give Opening Statements and we will also have Opening Statements from the chairman and Ranking Member of the constitution subcommittee that senator collins and senator blumenthal. Higher education rests on the free flow of ideas. Education requires that positions be held tentatively tested by opposing arguments that are actually considered and evaluated. All must protect free speech. Public institutions must adhere to the various guarantees over First Amendments. Too often all the these fundamental principles have been under assault. Even worse some people who exercise their First Amendment rights have them selves than assaulted. As a result those who would curtail free speech have been emboldened and those who disagree with the prevailing orthodoxy have been censored or chilled from speaking freely. There is no po

One passenger plans to spend the night in a hotel because she would have arrived at her destination past midnight. She isnt the only one facing headaches at the ticket counter. United airline is in recovery mode after a computer glitch grounded all domestic flights throughout the county. Passengers couldnt help, but be frustrated. Reporter we caught up with alyssa who was calling a hotel. Her United Airline flight was suppose to take off at 5 30 this evening. But because of numerous delays she wouldnt have gotten home until 1 00 in the morning. She is now hopping on a flight tomorrow. And then i got a hotel coupon, but the Cheapest Hotel is 89. That doesnt really help me because now i have to pay 100 for something thats not my fault. I dont really want to spend the night in an airport. Reporter her flight is one of many flights delayed across the country after th
Afternoon. Multiple trees and landslides also came down. Bear a creek road collapsed at two separate locations, eroded with the land. The San Lorenzo River are widened considerably in the last few days, taking trees down with it. I havent seen this probably in about 10 years. Reporter the water swelled to flood the playground, leaving dirt and debris on the basketball court, but locals say landslides are harder to manage than a river. A car was struck by a tree. Reporter the cleanup is taking a little longer with efforts complicated by the rain, which is why donner says its best he works on the road now. Behind that fence is a San Lorenzo River, and all of that debris piled up, well, thats the water mark.

So whose fault is that you say . The owner of the Movie Theater i
