We worked together on a number of projects and the discussion of Judicial Independence in the role of judiciary in our society was missing a piece, a lot of focus on constitutional vision powers and the role of judges and all that. What has been missing is who are judges . What is the human side of judging . What we are trying to do this evening is begin that conversation and shed some light on it. I will introduce the panelists and jeff will introduce our comoderator. Here on stage, we have judge breyer from the Northern District of california and has been a judge on that bench since 1998.

limit the floor procedure process. and you mentioned bill schuster. here s a tweet that you sent out. i ve been waiting three years for this so here we go he tells the house rules committee. why did it take so long to get to this? one of the major contentions behind the surface transportation reauthorization bill is the difficult funding situation and, again, we have a couple timetables in terms of the deadline on the highway bill. first of all, current authorization runs out november 20, so we re trying to get a bill passed by thanksgiving. the highway trust fund, which pays for projects and reimburses states for highway and transit projects across the nation has enough money stuff estimate there is s enough money to keep programs going through the end of december. the department of transportation put out an estimate that the money in the highway trust fund could run through the end of the summer. however they note there s a potential shortfall in the trust fund arou

maximum number of people participate. willmay mean some of us not win, but that is ok. i see it from both sides. ran, you doackson not have a lot of people with the career like me, that was a high turnout. what i make it? it?ould i make sets out the should look at it. we should look at other places that may be unique to texas to encourage more people to participate who ought to be embarrassed because so few people are participating in the state. we talked about 2016, but i want to talk about 2018 because you know that latinos and minorities turnout in bigger numbers and a presidential year, and that we have the gubernatorial election and turnout is terrible. looking back at 2014, governor abbott, you won the portion of the latino vote but there was a low turnout. what is it going to take to get latinos to vote in 2018 and any nonpresidential year? joq it take a walking aquin or julian castro? i think it takes all hands on deck. bottom line, connection to the voters. sho
