Concept of the militia is that it is everybody or virtually everybody in the body politic. One of the more recent discussions of the militia concept i found in the d. C. Heller case, an individual Second Amendment case, however there was some dicta in there discussing the militia in its collective sense, and in there, the Supreme Court stated that unlike armies and navies, the militia is assumed by article 1 to already be in existence. Although the militia consists of all able bodied men the fed...

Nail polish, they would. At the very least the sentiments at the heart of imperial todomesticity has shaped wars in destruction. I would warn at times these sentiments have also kept americans from recognizing certain damage that american attacks have done to foreign women and children, even if their bodies have been spared. Afghan i afghani women and children have lost many things held dear. Bombs have destroyed their lands. Too many family members have died violently. Their country has been th...

Our system, all of it was customized and developed in the 50s and 60s. Weve replaced that system with those expenditures. But we still have over 50 applications that need to be replaced. But to show what weve been able to do that, that refund app got 200 million hits last year. 150 million returns across just 85 are processed electronically. That was not only not possible, it was inconceivable 15 years ago. We have made substantial strides. But the 300 million on the Affordable Care act are all ...

She would really love to have been here because she would have heartily approved of this gathering, and she was instrumental in the creation of the firs...

85 of the projected growth in spending over the next decade is driven by health care and retirement entitlements and interest on the debt. So thats where reforms need to target. To balance the budget before the end of the decade, we saw in the last house budget, it takes more than 5 trillion in cuts. That is assuming you start cutting right away. If you decide to cut in future years and not address spending next year, it takes bigger cuts to get to that ballpoint. So the sooner lawmakers can sta...

Thank you, mr. Chairman. Commissioner, welcome. I joined with other members of this Committee Last year on a letter to you after it was reported by the Inspector General for Tax Administration that more than 1100 employees had been awarded over a Million Dollars in cash rewards and more than 10,000 in timeoff awards. You made no commitments nor did you set any deadlines. And i know that youve talked a little bit about this already this morning. I just wanted, for the record to get you to speak c...

As we stop putting our heads in the hand and think we are above everyone else it is shameful we have not done that. What will come behind that are reforms that will make a profound difference. Finally, what we have to do is demand from our elected leaders that they not simply be tough on crime, but they be smart, that they care about Public Safety and what we included Public Safety. Things like the health of our poorest and the quality of education and the opportunity for people to be safe and s...
