And this is literally how political scientists think about war. This isnt really how it works. We dont really think that since cyberspace with her ever serious. We dont look them square in the face like this. And for those of you that dont know this is and we dont square off in the face and in fact we dont do good battles like fun battles in cyberspace. We hit below the belt. We do just enough to be irritating but not enough to trigger what we consider an act of war. And this is really telling so how do we figure out when all of these below the belt issues are coming out. It would be really nice if we had Something Like a dark mark from harry potter that told us when our networks were insecure, that all of our data would pop up on the screen. You are owned. The dark lord is coming. But we dont have any of this stuff. Its really hard to enforce our rights claims in cyberspace. This is where i think immanuel kant, is to the rescue.

Operation enduring freedom. We are now past 13 years in that enduring fight and that resolution, of course was also the basis for the justification of our actions in somalia in yemen and the administration is saying quite clearly that they oppose the repeal of that and that the operations that are going on right now to my in fact, are consistent with that 2001 resolution.

Continuing resolution on the floor right now. Lets get it done. Gentleman yields back. End this republican Government Shutdown. As the chair previously advised, the request cannot be entertained. Im craig melvin. Youre watching msnbc. The house and senate both at work today. House republicans left a morning pep rally saying they have no new proposals. Then all eyes turn to the senate. They took up a plan to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling. That also went nowhere. As the mess continues inside, on the National Mall today, tea Party Founders cleaned up. But who will end the mess that the shutdown is causing for americans . We are following all the latest live from capitol hill. We wish they could find that same kind of innovation in washington, d. C. That we find here in utah. Also ahead, wideopen spaces. Today, several states are reopening National Parks. But at what cost . Well talk about that. And concussion crisis.
