I think that the court has upheld such broad delegations that principle is simple a term it invokes. It doesnt have meaningful bite. Where i think the courts do Police Delegation is in terms of how they read statutes. In terms of whether or not its sub constitutional. Its statutory interpretation and Administrative Law when they subject something to more search and e review and require reasoned explanation thats in part to make up for the lack of the congressional delegation. And thats where i think the courts should play a role because thats where the most effective. Im very sympathetic to your vision of the collective congress as a matter of policy, but i heard you to be making not just a policy argument, but also an argument from constitutional structure. And i wonder what do you make of the fact that the constitution isnt more clear about this and that it does speak about the speaker of the house and the president of the senate. And it does speak of officers of these houses and giv
The Justice Department statistics show that nationally only 16 of state prisoners are in for drug crimes and less than 4 are there for drug possession. And yet, our very president is going around stating an untruth. That is because this is an administration i think that is ruled by an ideology that claims that Law Enforcement is somehow racist. And that, as you say, is a disservice to officers of all colors who are there to help the good people in the community. Mr. Mccarthy, you rightly observed that the title this hearing, the war on police, is directed more broadly than just the department of justice. But it is rather what i see as a pervasive, to use a term of art, pattern and practice across the federal government and this administration, and indeed, i think no one bears more direct responsibility than the president. As ms. Macdonald just noted, president obama has directly tried to attack his own fbi director for observing that Violent Crime and homicides are increasing. We saw a
It is my job to help people get on the right track. Brian you have four stars and you are full admiral. It has never happened in history that a woman has been a fourstar admiral. When did you know that you would go this far . Adm. Howard i did not know that i knew i would go this far. I had only been a threestar for about 10 months when the chief of Naval Operations was traveling through norfolk and he asked to see me. I was supposed to go up and be his chief strategist and planner. That is when he talked to me about becoming a fourstar and a couple of different opportunities where we think you would do well and benefit the navy. It is a big transition. You probably want to talk to your family about it. Come back to me and say whether you think you are the right person. Brian your mother is mentioned a lot of times. Adm. Howard she is 82. Brian what did she say to you when you said they wanted to make you a fourstar admiral . Adm. Howard she was enthusiastic. She said you are a leader.
Little conversation with the reader and you address the reader directly in your work. Is that something you think about . Totally conscious. Another big influence on me are my dads side of the family. Every holiday, it would end up that we would be down in the cellar at my great uncles house , at the bar, and everybody would be spinning these funny stories. So the context is, this guy is telling you these stories in a bar, and you are not sure whether to believe him or not. So ill is have that in mind when i am telling a story, even when i tell now i work my stories out on my twoyearold and my sevenyearold. I cant trick them as easily as i can trick everybody else. [laughter] david s. all right, jen, do you want to advance the thing every time . Jen sure. David s. this is a piece from jens where it is a series of panels and she is going to go one panel at a time. Jen this is hillary clinton, pro versus con. On the pro side, we will Keep Health Care reform, saving countless lives, on th
Proxy forces, misdirection plays, propaganda, a different way of exerting power . Sec. Carter exactly right. And we need to counter that, too. And we need to fortify our european allies to counter that. So weve got a lot to do, and thats just another way of saying that we need to continue to be innovative. We innovated a lot when it was came for iraq and afghanistan. They were new kinds of one of the things im really proud of in our Defense Department is a long history of innovation. It goes back you know, i started my career in science and technology. As you said, we were doing stealth at that time. We were doing a whole lot of stuff in space. Missile defenses, all those were new capabilities. And those of you who are in High Technology industry know im trying to reach out to our industry, building those bridges. Mr. Seib i wanted to ask you about that, as a final thought before we take questions. But but you have spent a lot of time in silicon valley, which is not a normal place for
