Carefully and pay a lot of attention to precedent. That is something professor barrett focused on a lot in her scholarship. She cares deeply about precedent and about the institution of the courts. I dont think she would be inclined to move the law very fast . Me a very david in some of the writings i have gotten a chance to look at, she has some skepticism about majority rule. She thinks when Congress Passes look at ithould because if it interferes potentially with individual rights. Tara that is right, but that in and of itself is a very commonly held view by a lot of individuals. Depending on who we are, we care about different rates, let all of us would like a federal judiciary to protect our individual rights from interference. Which things should be left to the political process. This apply to statutory rights as well as Constitutional Rights . We have the bill of rights to protect us. But when it comes to the statute that the congress has passed . Tara i think many members of th

Senator or house member. And so this is Something Else that we strongly recommend. Host our guest is Henry Bonilla. Former congressman, served in congress until 2007, representing texas. Number for republicans is 2025853881. For democrats, 2025853880. And independents, 2025853882. Wonder if you talk to us a little bit about how this report and your recommendations are being received in congress today. Guest we havent had any strong feedback yet. Sometimes it take as while for messages to get into the leadership office. The former senators that led this, this on their side have already communicated with the Senate Leadership but no strong reaction yet. The house side. But were hoping that at least someone listens to us because at this point were not aware of anyone who is put together a set of recommendations like this anywhere.

One flaw with your argument is t makes the words it may happen superfluous, that the clause would mean exactly what you say it means if you took those words out.

That could be one thing they didnt want to happen. I dont
They never went to the backup tapes. Exactly. The backup server is different. Theres no backup server. Theres a serve that operates the email. And the tapes theyre stored on offsite, they never got the emails back. Even though congress requestedded it, the irs didnt care and didnt go the extra mile to get thosement you testified last week that you knew there was a problem, february 2014 with lois lerners emails. I was advised there was an issue. In midmarch, the irs, according to your testimony, learned additional facts about her mysterious computer crash. Thats correct. Then you testified at this committee at the end of march, and you promised this committee, dowdy, gordon issa, everyone, get us lois lerner emails, you said, yes, well do it. You never mention, you never disclose that there were real problems about whether you were in fact going to be able to turn over those emails. Correct. At that time i did not know there were real problems meet what you told dave camp. In february
