President who made the last appointment. That really touched me because i believe that when a president makes an appointment, the whole Political Landscape of the court changes. He is going to pick someone that shares similar viewpoints. Another thing that he said was that justice is relative. He said his job is not to define justice, that is our representatives jobs, and ultimately, our job. Because we elect the representatives. That was my high point. We are going to get some more involved in this. One of the things about the media, and i am sure you have observed this, the media sets the agenda. You tune on your television, you watch television and watched the news cast and the media tells you what is the most important thing. This morning, we are going to turn it on you and im going to pick somebody and ask you to tell us what you want to hear from this group so you can set the agenda. Somebody in the room that wants to set the agenda of this discussion, put your hand up. [laughter
Youth program. Students come together to experience leadership in this nations capital. What did you want to add . It is sponsored by the hearst foundation. Two delegates from each state are chosen to represent the states at the capital. Over 5000 alumni are in this country and they have become stars in law, politics. I am from maryland. What was the high point of the week for you . Seeing the president of the United States yesterday. To see him as an individual and a person was an incredible experience and just being in the room with the president was surreal.

Seeing him approach on the red carpet in the white house was so surreal and i started tearing up. It was actually quite embarrassing. Just being able to experience Something Like that that so many youth across the country are not able t

Lots of red on wall street today. Like you said, the wall street closed down 318 points. Good enough for a 2 decline. Same measures of decline on the s p 500 and nasdaq composite. Among the hardesthit sectors were the cyclical stock, the stocks that have the most sensitivities to the ups and downs of the Bigger Picture economy. Material stocks, industrial stocks, financial stocks all fell and they fell by over 3. 5 for the week and that helped send one measure of stock market volatility soaring.
