And some of the things we notice different out here the last time there were demonstrators at city hall. A line of deputy that are right in front of the entrance to the building and theres also a barrier that is set up so they can keep people from going into that building. Thats very different than the last time around. I show you something up on the top of the roof there you might be able to see a silhouette of two Police Officers. That we believe may be a response to the sniper shootings that happened in dallas last night. This is a demonstration that started three hours ago along the embarcadero at Justin Herman plaza in response to two officer involved shootings this week. One in louisiana. Other in minnesota but the coalition of demonstrators here here tonight also protesting against recent officer involved shootings here in San Francisco. Dozens of San Francisco Police Officers parallel the protest group as they march down Market Street headed to San Francisco city hall. Now it i
Sure we are not only providing Law Enforcement the tools it needs, but protecting our citizens privacy. I certainly commit to you to working with you on this important legislation and all the issues that will flow from it. Thank you so much. Trade secrets are among the most valuable assets for American Companies and currently are protected under federal criminal law by the economic espionage act and by an array of state civil laws. Unlike other forms of intellectual property, theres no remedy r for trade secret owners. I will reintroduce the defend trade secrets act in the coming days to provide an official remedy for trade secret owners. Do you agree they should have the same access to a federal remedy as owners of other forms of intellectual property . Senator, i think that the issue of trade secrets, again, particularly as American Technology becomes ever more complex and becomes ever more a target from those both in the u. S. And without who would seek to steal it, is an increasing
Opposed to act in a different way. But where there is an indication that the vote will somehow be harmed, i believe the department of justice certainly has the obligation to review that matter and look carefully at all of the facts and evidence and proceed accordingly. I couldnt agree with you more. And i find it ironic and painful that at this moment in our history, as we celebrate with the movie selma and talk about 50 Year Anniversary of the Voting Rights act that many states are making it more difficult for americans to vote, without any evidence of voter fraud to back up those changes. In one Southern State it is estimated that 600,000 voters were basically precluded from voting in election because of new voter i. D. Requirements. In that same state a 93yearold veteran was turned away. A 73yearold doctor turned away, people who were proud and wanted to vote turned away by new laws, people who had a right to vote and it troubles me that amidst all of the celebration of the Civil Ri

Exhibitions of being a professional in her line of business and if shes not confirmed it would be a shame to the congress and it would be a shame to america. This is a very sharp, intelligent woman who is very professional who answered all their questions. And came across as an excellent, excellent candidate for attorney general. And if she is not confirmed, everybody in the senate ought to just resign their positions is what should happen. On to alexander in pennsylvania on our republican line. This is barry of the just make sure folks, you turn down your television or radio when you call in. Barry, go ahead. I think one of the Top Priorities for any attorney general should be able to distinguish and define the word illegal and making a statement that illegal aliens have as much right to work as citizens i think crosses the line of not being able to distinguish or to determine the definition of the word illegal. Ive watched unfortunately not all of this questioning. But i think thats
