To the stories that you have told, including the story of veronicas family. Very moving. If i were a justice, the commitment i would make to you and to all people affected by follows is that i would the law as you enacted it, and i have no agenda. I would not be coming in with any agenda. I would do equal justice under the law for all, and not try to force or disrupt in any way the quality choices that you and your colleagues have adopted. Sen. Hirono so are you saying that the impact of the Affordable Care act on the millions of people who rely upon it, that you would deem to be policy considerations that we should address . Sen.

I think you know it would be wrong, not because of anything you have done. Fact, i am not raising the issue of whether you have done any sort of deal or commitment because of what donald trump has and my republican colleagues, because they have indelibly put at issue your integrity through their statements. The president has said that he is putting you on the court as the ninth justice, so you can decid
With my own personal experience in the state of california. Burning thefires lay of the land, the size of the state of rhode island. We think our firefighters for their courage, our first andonders for their Courage Community service. It is so sad. I remember when we had the fires , we said the smoke will not exceed the love we have for each other, to come to each others support. It is very sad. Governor, governor newsom, for his leadership, that he and i and all of us, like thompson, whose district is very effective, we all salute our firefighters. We just came out of the convention, as you know, and i am very proud of the values that were presented.

I would say this on saturday i would say on a scale of one thats around probably an 8 right now thats a pretty high and the reason im asking is because in 2011 you published and very counterintuitive bloke said jasper being a bit unstable especially on the a manic depressive has its advantages at its time of the time of crisis now i know that your book focuses primarily on little letters but i wonder if one can observe this same extract in lay people to it can we find solace that you know our depression and our restlessness may actually make.

But i wonder if one can observe this same a fact in lay people too can we find solace that you know our depression and our restlessness may actually make us batteries think areas are bad Decision Makers in times of uncertainty. Yes so might my book a 1st rate man this was published back then as you know that was really trying to understand what are the benefits of having some psychiatric conditions a focus on manic depression and i think the show showed that there were some traits that were more present in depressed people like realism of empathy and more traits some traits present in many people creativity and resilience to stress and i think point brought this out in leaders but i do think it applies to regular persons like you said you know time of crisis like now for instance it might be in some ways easier for someone whos had depression to be able to manage staying at home all the time and not having much to do because when theyre depressed thats the way they feel its more of a s
