People can shovel snow. If they work for the for the clinic, they can sweep the sidewalk, they can do maintenance, they can go in and they and out, but they cant utter a word. Well, that would be a different statute. But thats not this statute. This statute says that there is an exemption for employees of the facility if they are operating within the scope of their employment. And surely coming out and saying this is a safe facility is within the scope of their employment. Right. So how do you justify that . Forget about the conduct now. The speech thats allowed. One can speak and say its safe. The other cannot speak and say it is not safe. What i would argue, your honor, is that speech in that particular circumstance of the employee actually doing her job and not unnecessarily cluttering the buffer zone, what then that speech is simply incidental to the permissible conduct. And it doesnt make the statute on its face it doesnt make it viewpointdiscriminatory. Because as i said you thin ....
Who framed and ratified the constitution . Because if they had thought about that, theres a real chance the senate may take a twomonth break right. Over christmas. Would there be any reason why they wouldnt have wanted the recess appointment power to apply there as well as at the end of the session . Your honor, our argument does not turn on that because to us it is not a temporal question. Its a procedural one. Back then, the senate had the power not to trigger the recess. Just like today, it has the power not to trigger the recess appointments power. The difference is not in principle. Its in historical context. At the time of the framing, they wanted to trigger the recess appointments power because when they left during long periods of time, they wanted the president to be able to act unilaterally since it was very difficult for them to get back. And if they didnt trigger the power, the only way the president could act unilaterally would the only way the president could confirm nomi ....
Own words, to quote switch the majority on the court and to quote fill up the d. C. Circuit one way or another. And in the rush to eliminate any possible judicial obstacle to accountability by packing the d. C. Circuit, the Obama Administration and its allies run roughshod over the rules and traditions of this body by blowing up the filibuster. Whether through unilaterally changing the senate rules or abusing the recess appointment powers, the president and his allies have demonstrated a willingness to work untold and permanent damage to the institutions of this great body and to our constitutional system itself. Madam president , with such a powerful and aggressive president , no Single Institution can restore the constitutional checks on president obamas often lawless exercise of power. Restoring Const ....
And so hopefully its obvious to everyone here this 30 billion the 80 billion are deeply intertwined. In order for the private sector to make those investments there has to be raw material coming out of the basic research. Weve talked a lot about that. In order for that investment in basic research to create new cures, it has to be that investment in private sector r d to develop those scientific discoveries into cures for patients. So talking about that 80 billion is important and its also the benefit of not being quite zerosum game that we have to come up with government funding in order to solve the problem. In order to enhance that investment, that 80 billion which hopefully is obvious if that goes up, all other things being equal will get more cures and more treatments coming out the other and. Well be saving more lives. We will be saving more lives. Including in china. And creating more jobs in this country as well as saving more lives. If that goes down 10 of course the opposite ....
Accurately reflecting the forces of supply and demand. Mr. President , there is now a growing consensus. This is not just the opinion of Bernie Sanders. There is a growing consensus that excessive speculation on the Oil Futures Market is significantly contributing to the high prices that the American People are seeing at the pump. Exxonmobil, Goldman Sachs, the i. M. F. , the st. Louis federal reserve, the American Trucking association, delta airlines, Petroleum Marketers association of america, the new england fuel institute, the Consumer Federation of america, and many other organiz ....
