Bones. They call the senate to session, gavel it order, and say well be in recess until tomorrow at noon. Boom. Because we do that, were not in recess. So you cant use the recess appointment power. So the first question the Supreme Court has to decide is the exercise that the supreme that the senate goes through a real recess or not. In order, is it a recess during which the president could use the recess appointment power. Yes or no. The second question, remember what the article the section of...

You would bifurcate the complaint and handle the one as improper governmental activities and the other parts a sunshine violation. But i just want to be sure that people have enough information to go on the sunshine complaint, but you wouldnt necessarily reveal who the underlying complainant was. You would necessarily have to reveal who the respondent was. Its an interesting point. Sorry. I wonder what the staff thinks on that . Because the staff cant initiate a complaint either on its own aware...

Were talking about. Okay. Anyway, it could possibly go there. Somewhere in that range. I think on the chapter 2 question, i would probably not change the burden. I think the standard of proof and burden to be kind of makes sense. That is what the whole basis of the chapter 2 versus 3 thing was. I think i would be better with three positive votes needed to make a finding that there was a violation. So even if it requires three votes to find a violation, you can still hold the person to the burden...

Thanks. Respectfully i disagreeing with member pillpa with respect to burden of proof, with respect to chapter 2. The fact that the matter has been referred from the task force means that the task force has found a violation. Perhaps a willful one. And i think that the burden of proof should definitely rest with the resplendent in that case. As a matter of fact, i think that if you recall, when the task force refers were not looking for readjudication. Again, we have five new members and its pos...

Different powers and duties and i wouldnt want to complete those. I think i have said enough for the moment. Thanks.

There was a suggestion at one point to substitute the finding of task force for the commission in the event that the commission doesnt overturn the tank ask force. I think the task force and the commission stand separately and i would not subject that you take the Task Force Recommendation on its own. You can choose to, but i dont think there should be a regthat provides in the absence of a Commission Decision to the contrary. I think there are really different powers and duties and i wouldnt wa...

Sense. That is what the whole basis of the chapter 2 versus 3 thing was. I think i would be better with three positive votes needed to make a finding that there was a violation. So even if it requires three votes to find a violation, you can still hold the person to the burden, if they didnt meet their burden, then you go the other way. Although it does play out in the same ways that we have talked about. I also would not substitute there was a suggestion at one point to substitute the finding o...

The modifying video competition report, some of those things. I have got a piece of legislation weve passed out of the full house twice now, very bipartisan, i think it was unanimous earlier in this Congress Called the fcc consolidated reporting act which really tries to take a broad view and to eliminate a lot of the outdated reports, to streamline the reporting process. Something that i think you have seen bipartisan support to do in the house. Were trying to get the senate to take that up. Im...
