Sometimes it seems nothing is happening on the senate floor. The action is going on elsewhere. Order. The senate has been carrying out its duties in 1789. The framers believed the senate should be the venue through which statesmen would lift america to meet its unique challenges. We are still a work in progress in the United States senate. We should act like a senate instead of a kindergarten. Wait until you see what happens with this bill. Made up of 100 members, two from each state, this is how many have come to know the senate today. Democrats have been putting up roadblocks one after another. It is not what the founders had in mind. There is a great deal of human affection around here. It is in private. You came to the wrong town at the wrong time. With a history of conflict and compromise, we will go inside the senate to tell its story. Its informal workings, we will learn about it as a legislative body. Following the footsteps of members in the core doors around the chamber, we w
This audience really merits it. I thought maybe one day if i write this book and people notice it maybe one day the mayor of charleston will be holding it in front of an audience, a packed house.

The point is we are all heirs to something. We have no say. We are born where we are and we have no say in what we inherit and all we have control of his will he do with it. We can recount some of the triumphs and some of the greatest tragedies but i think moving on from the tragedy of 2015 you created this group. You decided intentionally to create the space word difficult issues in the community could be discussed. It would have been easy and very human to say the murder was not from charleston, you hav
Yesterday when i had my first trip here. It was about 16 years ago. Got off the plane in the middle of a hot summer. Had fresh new boots on my feet. I was a newly enlisted private headeded to fort jackson for my basic combat training. My introduction to your kind southern hospitality. I deployed to iraq just one year later where i experienced firsthand the high human cost of war and i had the great privilege of serving alongside so many great americans who sacrificed so much. And who truly embody what it means to put service above elf. The founders of our nation had a great vision for us. That our government should be of the people, by the people and for the people. But that is not what we have today. Instead, we have a government that is of, by and for the rich and powerful. And we the people are left behind.

So it is a 19th century story of how Death Investigation becomes forensic and ultimately becomes the csi series. Now, we all have a pretty lurid, i think, of Death Investigation thats by local news, right . This graphic is everywhere. I found a million of these. All right.
