Actively endorsed by the Current Administration and rigorously enforced by the department of justice. Over these past few years the department of justice has made their presence very wellknown in both my professional and personal life. Since filing for Tax Exemption from the i. R. S. In 2009, my 2010, my private businesses my nonprofit organizations and i personally have been subjected to more than 15 instances of audit, inquiry or investigation by federal agencies, including the i. R. S. , osha, a. T. F. And the f. B. I. All of these inquisitions began after filing for Tax Exemption. There is no other remarkable event or rationale to explain how for decades i went unnoticed by the federal government but now find myself on the receiving end of interagency coordination into and against all facets of my life. I shared that same timeline as a part of testimony given in february of 2014 at had a hearing before the House Oversight and government reform subcommittee. Time did not permit then
Establishing National Immigration enforcement policies and priorities. That alone would seem to suffice but in addition, congress knowingly gives the administration only enough money to pursue less than 4 of dan documented population. That is the clearest evidence possible that congress intends for dhs to decide how those limited resources can be most effectively the boy. They have required you to just do require three things not full security, Border Security and the removal of criminal offenders. Those are three priorities that these memos incorporate. We have the 2012 Supreme Court decision in arizona where the court struck down most statues because it wouldnt appear with the federal government. Some critics claim that if the recent executive actions are legal, that would mean there are no limits at all and some future president could extend enforcement of another lot. It does not approach the hypothetical, nonenforcement that that argument conjures. If the president were to refuse
The california market but putting those together i was there when reggie negotiated requiring volunteer agreements by states to come together and deciding on the goal, who gets what allowances, who puts what in and who gets what out the difference is, they put together states with substantially different portfolios and substantially different epa targets that might not naturally agree and will require a little bit of a negotiation to get there. , we have states like texas and indiana that are served by multiple rtos. The markets themselves are going through a lot of transition as the generation mix in the country changes, and ferc is is doing a lot of work that it needs to continue to make sure the market rules in the Market Designs are written to support the investment and resources. We put out a few will assurance order earlier this year, that is one example of that effort and we have been doing a lot on the capacity arc it. Working all this out so we can markets. Working all this ou
For the members who are present, except for the ones that are here already, it will be on seniority, then other people that come in, youll be called on according to how our respective staff keep track of you in the order of your appearance. Before chairman leahy and i give our Opening Statements, id like to go over some things i said yesterday. First of all, we welcome everybody back to this second day of hearing on ms. Lynchs nomination to be attorney general. As i said yesterday and everybody abided by this, and i want to thank everybody that was here yesterday for their courtesy i want everyone to be able to watch the hearing without obstruction and if people stand up and block the view of those behind them or speak out of turn its not fair considerable to the others. So officers would remove those individuals. Thats what i want to thank because we didnt have any of those incidents yesterday. Before we begin the Opening Statements take care of a couple housekeeping items and explain
Because of press secretary can do everything him or herself. The best press operation i think again that has been pretty even, but even but when barack obama became president they kind of reorganized it ill walk in from the press. Into the lower press office. Almost twice as many people with a single best. People who specializes in each issue. Instantaneous and getting answers back. Cspan which was the hardest to get information from . Guest each administration had times. Toward the end of the Carter Administration we did not have email, we did not have everything is handed out in paper or announced over the loudspeaker, but the administration was so on the ropes and offensive that it got harder and harder to get through the top officials, harder and harder to get routine things from the. I think the best time for any of the administration was certainly true of george w. Bush when they 1st walk in the door then not only had an agenda but president ial transitions are now so orchestrate
