Helen Nez was just a child when men from the mining companies asked her to carry around a small device that detects uranium while she was herding sheep near her home in Blue Gap, Ariz.

is i d like to know what he had done or did in the last 10 or 15 years, because like vice president biden who said people can change, even if you believe that back in the 1980s he did these things and of course he contests it and denies it, vice president biden says is that people change. so i would be focusing more on the last 10 or 15 years and he s got a huge record that people can go through to try to discern exactly what kind of man this is. i think he s so far moved through this quickly because he says i will follow the law. i will stand up to the president. i oppose any ban on muslims and the supreme court has decided the issue of gay marriage. so i think in the end he s going to get his nose bloodied a little bit by democrats but he will be the next attorney general, unless something big happens in the next few hours. greta also to your point, it is very rare for a nominee to be turned down at this level. it just doesn t happen that often. zoe beard back a number of years h
