they have not had a local democracy since last year, since rick schneider took it away. governor schneider and the republicans legislature has done is up end the idea that in america we elect people to represent us. in america, we are governed by a democratic form of government. michigan republicans are ripping that idea out by the roots. if there are problems to be solved we do not do it by democratic means anymore in michigan. we suspend democracy to get things done, indefinitely. and it means you can be stripped of your right to vote for officials to govern your town and state level you may not be allowed to vote in the state legislature. this picture shows michigan house democrats asking for a vote in the legislature and not being allowed one. republicans in the michigan house are being sued in court by their colleagues across the aisle. sued for stopping democrats from voting in the state legislature. the republicans are being sued for that. this is an amazing story. amazing that it has come to this, to one political party suing another for the right to vote. amazin

well, governor rick schneider and michigan have done is radical beyond radical. and if it is true that the law should not have even been in effect all this time, if it is true that republicans circumvented democracy and the legislature too. what do you call that? radical beyond radical beyond radical beyond radical, it's revolutionary, and i can tell you now that finally somebody has. michigan house democrats have sued the house of representatives. and specifically they have sued the republicans in the house of representatives. the democrats say that republicans are denying them the right to vote in the legislature. it's not just for benton harbor anymore, it's for the whole state. democrats have begun demanding role call votes to see whether republicans have this 2/3 majority they claim. they're demanding an actual count to see if they have all 73 votes that the republicans would need for these laws to go into immediate effect. this is the picture of the democrats demanding a vote like that last week. demanding it and not getting it. we asked the michigan democr

officer schneider died responding to a domestic violence call. a 17-year-old girl who was being abused by her boyfriend. when officer schneider arrived at the scene, he was shot in the head. the girl survived, but officer schneider literally gave his life to save another. i attended that funeral and i will never forget the heartbreaking scene of his two young sons walking down the church aisle with the little girl, his daughter, in a blue dress covered with stars. i think it reminds all of us that domestic violence just doesn't hurt the immediate victim. it hurts entire families, entire communities. this has never been a partisan bill 34579s. -- madam president. it is crucial to pass this bill. we've made a lot of progress over the years and we've been able to work across the aisle to build on vawa's success. that's something that means a lot to me and it certainly means a lot to the millions of people who are victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault every single year. so i urge my colleagues to support our efforts to bring this bill to the f

. >> david schneider. health care is an extremely important part of human-rights. i want to say two things briefly that is perhaps a little beyond the scope here but within your general topic. one is that i was reviewing some of the oral arguments of the supreme court recently on so called obamacare. i was shocked justice kennedy asked the most pertinent and salient question. heat cramp in terms of single payer health care. i think he said, "why is this administration not more honest about what is going on?" i think there was a 50-50 chance that strangely enough, justice kennedy might have been prepared to sustain single national payer health care in the u.s. the second point is, i think it would be good for americans to know who, a -- tommy douglas of canada is. voted the most popular and significant canadian of all time. tommy douglas was a baptist minister, a socialist prime minister of saskatchewan and the author of canadian national health care. supervisor kim: thank you. is there any other public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed

dave schneider. please line of if you have public comment on this item. >> good afternoon. for purposes of identification, i am the co-founder of utw but i am not an active member. i have to pay the dues. i am a lawyer by background and a journalist. i have had the chance to observe the sfmta both in person and quite frequently, by watching the proceedings on sftv. i have to say, i may be wrong. i would not support the confirmation of the appointment of mr. heinicke to serve another term. for one thing, are there any term limits around here? he has hopped over to the sfmta. enough to question that. on terms of policy, i think that what is is he has lost confidence of all lot of the cab driver community. while he has great rhetoric, great personal rhetoric, what is the record of accomplishment progressivism? i do not see it. it could be me. i also feel that has been employed by munger and olson as an employer lawyer raises certain questions about him -- treatment of employees. that is a big concern for me. at this point, i will stop here. i could be wrong. but i do not think

schneider? >> it's a pleasure and honor -- >> if you can punch that little button and hold it close. >> story about that. my colleagues have already covered a number of main points, especially related to the security council statement and north korean response. i think it is clear that we are in the middle of a dynamic, very similar to the one we saw in 2009 where the likelihood of additional escalation exists. we're facing a non -- a defiant sovereignty focused new regime. i want to address two top i thinks. one, the failing of the leap day agreement that have already been pointed out in the initial statements. namely the concern about the linkage of food to the negotiations with north korea, which i agreed was a mistake and should have been dealt with separately. and also the failure to state the u.s. statement very clearly that a satellite test would be considered as part of a long-range missile and not acceptable for north korea. clearly the effort so far that we've seen has not changed nort
