Can you even we have not ended the scourge and the threat of home violent extremism. People ask me what keep you up at night. Thats thing number one. The prospect of another home grown or home born, violent extremists acquiring a weapon or a tool of Mass Violence and carrying out an attack some place here in the homeland. It cannot be quantified. It is difficult to detect and given the nature of it. In my view, what we and Homeland Security needs to do in addition to all the they thinks we are doing is to continually to remind the American People of all the things we are doing and 10 or 12 things we are doing and constantly securing our homeland but to also say to them there is a role for a public of awareness and vigilance. You cannot eliminate all risks whether it is a terror attack or a mass shooting or gun violence. We cannot end it tomorrow. We can and reduce it as much as possible, consistent with our values and laws. But, the prospect of an hbe attack is still there and we need
Concept of the militia is that it is everybody or virtually everybody in the body politic. One of the more recent discussions of the militia concept i found in the d. C. Heller case, an individual Second Amendment case, however there was some dicta in there discussing the militia in its collective sense, and in there, the Supreme Court stated that unlike armies and navies, the militia is assumed by article 1 to already be in existence. Although the militia consists of all able bodied men the federal organized militia may consist of a subset of them, so there is a distinction between organized militia and unorganized militia, and the type of militia im going to discuss today is the organized militia, which is the National Guard. And this particular distinction between organized and unorganized militia is carried through into each state. Under state law, for example in maryland, where im a judge advocate in maryland as well, in the Maryland National guard, you can see that the state code
The Intelligence Community to try to increase the amount of transparency about what that community does but thats running against the culture of that community and its a challenge because there are legitimate security reasons you dont blab about what you do but i do think that the lessons the last two years are that to the extent to a much greater extent than in the past the Intelligence Community would benefit from Greater Transparency about what its doing and why. Which is easy to say and hard to do. Do any of our panelists have any comments on the usa freedom act pending in congress and the differences between the house and the Senate Version of the bill, one of our questions related to the provision thats not in the house bill but in the senate bill regarding the special advocate for to be present before the fisa court. There was a provision in the house bill thats somewhat different than the senate bill. So i mean the house bill also had its not exactly special advocate. What it i
To be our last question. Hi. Hows the reseptember economic struggles impacted how states align with federal support and ability of the federal government toates align with fe support and ability of the federal government to give support . So here is the bottom line. There is a lot of downward pressure economically at all levels of government. And so, states and their political subdivisions, we have seen an increase in request for federal assistance, both inside and outside of the disaster declarations, to help offset the impact on budgets. Ill give you a great example. When it snows, there is a need to do removal of snow and ice from the roads. One would expect that most states and local governments would plan and budget for that. As a policy matter we generally dont provide assistance for road treatment unless there is a record or near record know fall. That policy is meeting resistance because record or near record snow falls, governments are struggling to meet their snow removal bud
