a lot of my colleagues were at their desks in washington when obamacare was passed. i weblt out and did town halls all over the state of month. missouri. and then even though he would get everybody to raise their hands if they re on medicare and if they like medicare, try to point out that was a single payer government simm, it didn t matter because the government was telling them what they could and couldn t do in one of the most personal things of their lives. and the notion that we could pull this switch is go from a primarily private health insurance through work and and here s the thing. i think what kamala s trying to do with her plan, she came out yesterday is very smart. split the needle. it is all choice. if you want to buy in to the government plan and if the government plan turns out to be so good then the market will decide, the government plan will rule. but having that choice and being able to campaign on that choice, rather than the government s going to decide w

bloodshot, and there was no clear indication while he was speaking he was crying but certainly at the end you can tell that he realized the gravity of all of this. and i bet a huge sigh of relief. i know his attorneys certainly felt that way. they were not expecting such a low sentence. but in the end it seems that the judge, who as you said did have issues with this prosecution, went on the low side here. yeah, i mean and the judge calls it, elie, excessive. the guidelines. right? the 19 to 24 years. you call the actual sentence a joke. yeah. i stand by that. i think this sentence was unjust and unreasonable and unprincipled. i do agree 19 to 24 would have been excessive. but this judge went 15 years below the bottom of that range. that is an enormous reduction. and i have two problems with it. first of all, it s hard to conceive of a defendant who had more openly flouted the u.s. government and criminal justice simm. he lied at every turn. he got convicted at trial. he got his
