the essence was then you being a native of new hampshire find in new hampshire stories i told it to be accurate. there will tell you one additional story, in addition is new hampshire those two red and blue highways so i'll make this quick -- there is a woman called maryann whom i met in 1970 on the blue highways to the issue is a delightful historian. she appears in the book in a photograph and much of her story is there, she introduced me to more people in a village in new hampshire on a lake. when the book about four years later people started coming up to her door and knocking on her porch. and did not mean to do that to her and it never crossed my mind that more than three or 400 people might read this book. so that was a surprise, but the upshot was she recently had an operation for cancer of some sort and she was in recovery doing well, but her mental spirits were down. she was at the time 82 or 83 and was thinking who needs this old lady anymore. and who has been ill, but she found people coming up to her front door knocking and suddenly she realized, maybe i have left a legacy

in new hampshire, almost 20% of adults smoke cigarettes. and tobacco-related health care expenses in new hampshire amount to $969 million a year. during my tenure as governor i was proud to sign legislation that banned the sale of tobacco products to minors, that prohibited the possession of tobacco products by children, and that required the new hampshire department of health and human services to disclose harmful ingredients in tobacco products. the important legislation that we're considering today expands on what new hampshire has done. it will give the f.d.a. the authority to regulate the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of tobacco products to youth. in new hampshire this year alone 6,300 children will try sphwrets for the first time -- try cigarettes for the first time. just over a third of the children will become addicted and become life-long smokers. the tobacco companies know these statistics and target their marketing to this vulnerable population. in fact, published research studies have found that children are three times mor

but weekend in new hampshire and how did it come apart? >> guest: it was a ridiculously short amount of time and what happened is first they got cocky and lost track of the things they'd done through the course the last year in iowa. a lot of rebuttals in the kind of attacks they were taking from the clinton campaign for instance on which wastes the clinton campaign had an effective operation will and roll call so where they were saying that obama had 100% pro-choice voting record in the senate was weak on twice. they didn't respond to that because they were believing their own height and they thought they had this momentum going and then they started to get suckered into this debate about the meaning of health. there was one day to wear actually obama says you are likely not. >> host: i have that. let me show that and then come back. the january 5th, the only debate before the primary sponsored by wmur and abc news. >> what can you say to the voters of new hampshire on the stage tonight lucey your reza may and like it but are hesitating o

the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. mrs. shaheen: mr. president, i'm delighted to be here this afternoon to join my friend and colleague from the state of minnesota, senator klobuchar, in supporting the nomination of justice sonia sotomayor to be a justice of the supreme court. you know, everyone in my home state of new hampshire was very proud 19 years ago when former president george bush nominated new hampshire's own david souter as an associate justice of the supreme court. every action justice souter has taken since he began his service in our nation's -- on our nation's highest court has only reinforced that pride. so when justice souter announced in early may that he intended to retire at the end of his term and return home to new hampshire, i took particular interest in whom president obama would select to fill david souter's seat. i believe the president has made a thoughtful and outstanding choice in nominating judge sonia sotomayor. judge sotomayor has had a distinguished career as a federal judge, as has been widely noted. if

hodes of new hampshire. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 552, the gentleman from new hampshire and a member opposed will each control five minutes, the chair recognizes the gentleman from new hampshire. mr. hodes: mr. speaker, i rise in support of the amendment i have offered, amendment number 98. i begin by congratulating the chair mollohan and raverpbinging member on all of their important work on this important legislation and i thank the rules committee for making this amendment in order. mr. speaker, currently once taxpayer dollars have been appropriated by congress to grant accounts, there is no accountability required of those funds. my amendment would fix this problem and make sure the taxpayer dollars are accounted for after we have appropriated those monies. in an august, 2008, report on grants management, the g.a.o. recommended that the office of management and budget report annually on expired, undispursed grant accounts but unfortunately no action has been taken on this recommendation and

this was in new hampshire. both of those speeches -- i will hope there is a record of them. >> he would not allow them to be recorded. >> that is too bad. everyone should hear the speeches. >> this was the most marvelous panel. i want to thank them. [applause] this discussion has been most enlightening and stimulating. we have learned about a fish that only died temporarily. [laughter] it is no wonder that this panel has become one of the popular highlight features of our conference. we now are going to bring the conference to a close. i think it has been a wonderful conference. we have learned a lot. i'd like to call on our chief judge who called this conference to adjourn. judge karen. >> i want to thank each of our panelists today and also professor howard for the wonderful job he did as our moderator. this term included decisions on a great variety of subjects. i thought you all did a masterful job of exploring those decisions and providing us with important takeaways. before adjourning, there are several o

the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. mr. gregg: how much sometime remaining? 1*6r 15 minutes and 36 seconds. mr. gregg: and on the other side? the presiding officer: two minutes. mr. gregg: did the chairman have a request, i was told? i thought the chairman had a request. mr. president, i am going to yield to the senator from oklahoma. but before die, i want to take just 30 seconds to respond quickly to the senator from michigan. the idea that we haven't done anything for the automobile industry is really hard to accept. $83 billion has been spent for the automobile industry. the idea that a billion dollars is just a small amount of money is also very hard to accept. a billion dollars in new debt is a billion dollars that our children are going to have to pay. and it's want a small amount of money. and it compounds. and the idea that we would fly in the face of the procedures which the democratic leadership set up around here to have pay-go and to also have the open and honest leadership act, we fly in the face of that by pu

the only debate in new hampshire before the primary. >> what can you say to the voters of new hampshire who see your resonate and like it, but are hesitating on the likability issue? where they seem to like barack obama more? >> and that hurts my feelings. [laughter] >> i am sorry, senator. >> i will try to go on. [laughter] he is very likable. i read with that. i do not think that your that bad. >> you are likable enough, hilary. >> thank you. [laughter] host: richard wolffe? guest: it was a backfired approach, that arrogance. people wound up switching over to the republican primary, because for many it was a done deal. it was a very volatile time. they stopped polling, which was a huge mistake that they did not repeat. as i explained in the book, they lost track of it because it was over, they were going to sail through it. host: were you there at the cafe guest: i was not. host: this was one of the many early morning events that senator clinton was conducting. here's what happened. >> it is not easy. i could not do it if i did not passionately believe that it was the right thing to d

in new hampshire, most of our ob-gyns are women. so this is -- this is an attempt to address the problems this committee has spent a lot of time and created a lot of authorization initiatives under and do it in a much more simple and appropriate way, and an appropriate way that's been tested. this has been tested. it works. it works in texas and it works in california. >> let me, if i can, this has been a debate i know, i shouldn't say i know, some of my

one more. >> i am from new hampshire as well. i am hershel fur. but,. >> one quick question. >> a quick question. you used a-- in "blue highways." what do you use today to do your stories? >> i don't want to give the-- but we are four-cylinder people. [laughter] there was one earlier. somebody do this. >> your "blue highways" book is one of the most pleasurable books i have ever read, and i go journeying through a lot of authors of which have forgotten their names, however, i have never forgotten your name. if you don't mind my asking, what is the origination of your name? >> it is partly explained in the third chapter of "blue highways." [inaudible] i have probably forgot myself. in a nutshell, my background is english, irish and osage. my father in the 1930's wanted to honor the osage side of our background. we did not know what the last full-blooded osage name was. we do know he was born in july. keep in mind until 1924 the american indians were not citizens so there was a lot of slapping anglo names on to indians, and he would hide the indian

a nurse from salem, new hampshire. almost nine years ago, the feminist health center in concord, new hampshire, was burned in an arson attack. these acts of violence are just not acceptable. not only do they violate our laws and lead to human tragedy, but they dissuade medical professionals from entering a field of medicine that is critically important to women across the country. madam president, i realize that the issue of reproductive choice is divisive. i know that there are many heartfelt feelings on both sides of this issue and on both sides of the aisle, even within my own caucus. however, i was hopeful that regardless of our differences of opinion on this sensitive issue, the senate could come together and quickly pass a resolution that rejects the use of violence against reproductive health care providers. sadly, this is not the case. my cosponsors and i have tried to pass this resolution by unanimous consent. unfortunately, some on the other side of the aisle have objected. how disappointing that in this coun

george bush nominated in new hampshire is on who david souter as an associate justice of the supreme court. every anshan justice souter has taken since he began his service to our nation's highest court has only reinforced that pride. so when justice souter announced that he intended to retire at the end of his term and return home to new hampshire, i took particular interest in him president of, was selected to fill it david souter's seat. and believe the president has made a boffo an outstanding choice in nominating judge sonia sotomayor. judge sotomayor has had a distinguished career as a federal judge as has been widely noted. if confirmed she would bring more federal judicial experience to the supreme court than any justice in 100 years today david souter is the only member of the supreme court with prior experience as a trial court judge. sonia sotomayor to would be the only justice, the only justice with experience as a trial court judge. i happen to agree with senator klobuchar. i think it is important that at least one of the nine supreme court justices have that experience.

he will be very happy to go back to the farm in new hampshire. he will be happy to see washington in the rear view mirror as he heads to new hampshire. what his legacy will be i guess historians will say. there are no great grand doctrines that have been produced. i will tell one story about him. each year i am asked by the rhodes scholar committee to conduct a goodbye event for the scholars. they meet justice souter at the court, in addition to going to capitol hill and the rest of it. when we did he brief the scholars, every year, year in and year out, justice souter has been at the top of the list. the one person they have met that they would not eliminate for next year's scholars. my impression is they have seen someone who is thoughtful and measured. he talks about how he goes about his work on the court. it seems to me what their impression is his private persona is the same as his public persona. in washington that may be a rare commodity. we have about a minute. i wanted to be sure that we don't conclude today without a word on the retiri

as i mentioned, new hampshire, illinois. every state in the union is heavily dependent on tourism and the republicans don't seem to much care. this bill is probably finished for the year. and that means 40,000 less jobs. it means this country will go in the red more for not having things -- to stimulating economy and provide money like this. so i just appreciate very much the subcommittee and the committee getting this bill on the floor to -- we thought we would have this love fest because this bill helps every state in the union. it helps every state in the union create jobs and as the senator from minnesota said so rightly, jobs -- not manufacturing things which are important and i wish we could do more to help that; not jobs that provide entertainment but in the science of the word going to watch a ballgame or something like that, that's tourism. my son and his pals he runs around with traveled one summer all around the country watching ballgames. that's tour im. as the senator from minnesota mentioned, the tourism jobs i

senator judd gregg of new hampshire tried to have that money taken out of the bill but his amendment failed. here is 20 minutes of that debate he meant. >> mr. president, i think the majority leader for his statement and another is controversy involved in the so-called cash for clunkers which is a kind of humorous name for a very serious proposal, let's be honest about where we are in america today. we have seen the largest decline in automobile sales and 50 years. sales down 29% and production down 46% from where it was 17 months ago. plummeting on all cells have reduced production and had a ripple affect across the economy forcing factories to close, we have lost 280,000 american jobs in the automobile industry. that is what this is about -- 280,000 american jobs that are lost and more than it will be lost if we do nothing. sum would have us do nothing. while the automobile industry is reeling from job losses and declining production many consumers in the market are waiting, they're holding back. purpose of this legislation is to put some movement into the purpose -- purchase of ne

new hampshire was the most visible. but the question is how do you respond to that failure? and that moment was a key test, as well as being an extraordinary speech. >> so you think having a long, drawn out primary helped barack obama? because keep in mind in 2004 jacques wrapped it up early. >> i think given the choice, i'm sure any of those obama folks would say they prefer it shorter. but he needed the time. and this is something he discussed early on. he needed the time to get known, raise the money, build the organization, and to be a better candidate. it tested his personal skills, his management. remember, this is the biggest operation he had ever run, the biggest undertaking of his life. and not only was it important for the voters to see this person being tested, but i think it was important for him to understand the kinds of pressures, just in sort of a laboratory form the kind of pressures you get as president. absolutely, i think it was necessary. >> jim is joining us. caller: good morning. how are you this morning? well, i've heard a lot, and i've never -- the o

. >> governor barbour, you'll be in new hampshire and iowa this week. when will you make a decision about whether you're going to run for president in 2012. >> probably never -- probably never. governor sununu called me and said he'd like somebody to come up to new hampshire who wasn't running for president to come up to talk about party bills. i told him, i'm your man. >> that means you will not run? >> this is a question on an issue -- energy is coming up this week. i'm wondering if republicans are confident that, you know, you will have less than 10 republicans voting for the bill? >> house republicans are adamantly opposed to a national energy tax that reportedly may be up on the floor of the house this week. the president said in his press conference a little while ago, only the polluters are going to pay. well, let me recount who the polluters might be. how about your electric utility company? and what are they going to do when then their costs increase? they'll pass it on to the consumers how much about local steel company. a.k. steel happens to

they thought the bush people thought they were going to win new hampshire and win big. just the opposite happened. and, they made a decision that the way they have operated as governor, the way they had campaigned as governor and the way they campaigned up until that point was apparently not going to work and they decided instead of going for votes in the center, going for the moderates, they would turn to the right and try to energize the base of the party. they did that, and it really change the character of the campaign. they went on to win. i have always argued that they would have won anyway, that john mccain did not have the money to sustain his campaign. he had to win every single primary, they didn't. that was the decision. the campaign turned bright, they won narrowly, narrowly. they continue to govern from the right. i think the fact that he won by such a small margin had a great impact on his presidency and the success or lack of that we saw after that. i think had there been a solid win, if he had won by a certain margin, that he would have been much more su

i know my friend from new hampshire cites texas and california. the heart of his argument is that by putting caps on damages reduces premium costs. if i honestly felt that that were the case and that you get premium costs down, i would be hard-pressed not to support the amendment. the fact of the matter is every national study that's been done regarding damage caps, the premium costs have not effected by it. >> they have gone down 30% in texas the last two years. >> well, this is just to give you what my perception is on this. between 2000 and 2003 there was a dramatic increase in the cost of medical malpractice insurance in states that already had damage caps and another restrictive tort reforms on statutes, on their books. no substantial increase in the number or size of malpractice judgments suddenly occurred, which would have justified enormous increases in the premiums many doctors are being forced to pay. now rates have stabilized again in both states with and without damage caps. the record shows the cost of malpractice insurance is affecte

the chair: the gentlewoman from new hampshire is recognized for two minutes. ms. shea-porter: thank you, mr. chair. i'd like to thank chairman thompson and his staff for their hard work on this very important bill. i'd also like to thank my colleague, mr. chaffetz. we share a deep concern and respect for the privacy of individuals. when this full body imaging was first introduced, t.s.a. said it would only be used as a secondary screening method for those people who set off a metal detector. now it has become very clear that the t.s.a. intends for this technology to replace metal detectors at airports all over the country. "the new york times" reported as much in an april 7, 2009 article. the chaffetz-shea-porter amendment would ensure that full body imaging would be a secondary device. and people that go through it is well informed. mr. chairman, we do not take this lightly. as a member of the armed services committee, i'm very aware of the security threats that are facing our country. we too want to ensure that the department of homeland security and the t.s.a.

for many months now i've been working with several members, most notably senator shaheen of new hampshire, on bipartisan consensus generic drug reform. once again i was very hopeful that this f.d.a. bill on the floor of the senate now would be a prime opportunity, an obvious opportunity to pass that consensus bipartisan reform. once again, that door was closed to us. we're not going to have that opportunity. i express real disappointment. but we need to act in that area. i look forward to continuing to work with senator shaheen and senator brown and others in that important area. we have been focused on two things in particular that could make the huge difference. first, we need to clear up certain loopholes, quite frankly, in the law, that allowed drug companies to make labeling changes when their patent protection is about to run out, when gentleman nearbi e market and we need to clear up those loopholes so generics can come to market and provide americans with a lower cost alternative. surely the drug companies need a period of protection so they can recoup their enormous investment in

like one doctor in new hampshire who spent 20% of each day to explaining insurance actions to patients and doing paperwork which gives him a less time to do the work of being a doctor and caring for patients. [applause] small-business owners like two in nashville are also struggling. they have always wanted to do right by their workers. they have recently had to lay off a number of employees, which could have been deferred if health care costs were not so high. across the country, over one- third of small businesses have reduced benefits in recent years. many have a drop workers covered since the early 1990's. larger companies are suffering as well. a big part of what led general motors and chrysler into trouble were the huge costs they had for providing health care for their workers which make them less profitable and less competitive with automakers around the world. we do not -- if we do not fit our health-care system, america may go broke by paying more. when it comes to the cost of our health-care system, the status quo is unsustainable.

host: dianne from new hampshire is saying that any consolatory language directed toward the muslim community would have been greeted with skepticism and derision by the right in this country? guest: it would have been greeted by derision -- greeted with derision by the right in this country. it has been greeted with derision by the right in the muslim world. that is something that was to be expected. if you hear the voices of what some muslims are saying about this speech being completely useless for exacerbating the situation or going in that direction, that exists on both sides. when we were talking about president addressing three different constituencies, i am sure that he was worrying about that particular constituency here in the united states. he is override -- his overriding concern was to do what he feels is best for america. the previous administration had an opportunity to do what it thought was best for america. now he is saying that it is my turn to play a vision -- a different vision. host: of a quote the financial times" calling this a new beginning for the muslim world.

the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. mr. gregg: i ask unanimous consent that further proceedings under the quorum call be set aside. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. gregg: i want to rise to talk about two issues. i know senator burr wants to continue his discussion on the f.d.a. tobacco bill. there are two issues very significant to the american taxpayer, especially to those of us concerned about how much debt this administration is running up on our children. the first is good news. the -- it looks like a number of banks are going to repay a fair percentage of the tarp money that's been put out by the administration, potentially $65 billion. now, when tarp was originally structured, the understanding was that we would buy assets in banks, or from banks, and that at some point we would get that money back as taxpayers. in fact, you would get it back with interest. and this is what's happening now. the money is coming back as these banks have restored their fiscal strength, and it's actually coming b

my friend and colleague from new hampshire has identify what we received earlier from some estimates and proposals dealing with coverage. they are numbers that did provide sticker shock in terms of the cost, and the number of people who will be affected. those proposals are no longer operative and have not been drafted by the committee. we are still working to find out how to get coverage, how do we get numbers down for the cost of this program, so it is deficit-neutral over the ten years, and how do you get the numbers up of those who are going to be covered and participate. it is no small challenge. seven american presidents in as many congresses in the last 60 years have grappled with the issues and none have succeeded. as my colleague has pointed out and the president and i do, the present system is unsustainable and it has to be address sod we have -- addressed so we have to sit down to discuss how to accomplish the goal that we all want. senator enzi agrees on this. the question of how we get there and how we do this is where the debate is. it is hardly a debate completed or ov

host: republican line from new hampshire is next. caller: i am concerned about businesses that are starting to cancel their employees' insurance before they nationalize health care comes in and order to protect themselves, so they cannot be charged or held accountable. guest: that is something that you should alert your members of congress to. if there is an employer mandate in health insurance, if there is, there may be requirements regardless. host: in the pet line from illinois. caller: i don't agree that the government should compete with the private insurers. i do think the insurers themselves that to compete with each other, it will take a lot of employee -- public education. one of the things thencqa, if people could pay attention to organizations like that. i agreed that they should do away with the pre-existing condition clause, because that would allow more people to get coverage. if we have to help subsidize people who cannot afford it, a payroll tax, even though it would fluctuate, that might be one way to pay for it. whe

he will be happy to go back to the farm in new hampshire to which he will be very happy when he sees washington in the rearview mirror. what his legacy will be, historians will say. there are no great grand doctrines produced. i will tell a quick story about him. each year, the road scholars committee to held organized a good bye event for the new been elected road scholar, david souter was a rhodes scholar. they need him at the court in addition to going to capitol hill and the white house and the rest of it. when we debrief this dollars on the things they have done in washington, every year, year in, year out, david souter has been at the top of the list. the one person they would not eliminate from the next year's scholars, my impression is they have seen someone who is thoughtful and measured, he talks about how he goes about his work on the court. it seems their impression is of someone whose private persona is the same as his public persona. washington, that is a rare commodity. i don't know, we have a minute if anyone wants to add to that. i wanted to be sure we don't conclude

also, here is a comment from new hampshire. more of your calls. jonathan from spokane, washington, good morning. caller: i just wanted to say -- i served over in iraq in 2006, 2007 and the navy or marine corps. while many are quick to point out that the president made mistakes and that politicians make mistakes, i believe it is only fair to stand by and listen to what they have to say. they are our leaders first and foremost. second, the commander in chief does not have an easy job. i would invite any american citizen to go one day in whose shoes, or for that matter go one day in any of those -- of those who have served their there. i think that we have done a wonderful job and have trained iraqi policemen. it is time to finalize stepping up to take control of the country. as with any conflict or war throughout this nation's history of believe that they all come to an end. that is just history. host: thank you, we will go to defiance, ohio. caller: good morning, i stand corrected. i am a republican but i was definitely against the war, the invasio

it's been offered at the same time by senator gregg of new hampshire. it's been offered in a bipartisan way by senator wyden and senator bennett, who have offered a proposal that would basically give these dollars to the people who need help, let them buy their insurance, and according to the same congressional budget office that said the kennedy proposal cost at least $1 trillion more, they said wyden would cost zero more. i'd like to be informed when i have a minute left. the presiding officer: without objection. the senator has five minutes remaining. mr. alexander: during the last six months the four words we've heard most in washington is more debt and washington takeover. we've seen a washington takeover of banks, insurance companies, student loans, car companies and now perhaps of health care. the president insists on a government-run insurance option as part of a health care reform plan which would inevitably lead to a washington-run health plan. why would it do that? putting a government-run and subsidized plan in competition with your private

our costly health care system is unsustainable for doctors like michael caen in new hampshire, who as he puts it, spend 20% each day supervising a staff, explaining insurance problems to patients, completing authorization forms, writing appeal letters, a routine that he calls disruptive and distracting, giving him less time to do what he became a dr. to do, actually care for his patients. [applause] small business owners like chris and becky linked are struggling. they always wanted to do right by their workers at their family run marketing firm, but they have recently had to do the unthinkable and lay off a number of employees, layoffs that could have been deferred, they say, if health care costs were not so high. across the country, 1/third of benefits have been reduced, and 1/third have reduced coverage since the early 1990s. our largest companies are suffering as well. a big part of what led general motors and chrysler into trouble in recent decades were the huge costs they racked up providing health care for their workers. costs that made them less profitable and less competitive

the republican from new hampshire has between $244,000 and $500 in major health care companies. the family of representative jane har man. senior member of the congress committee drefting the lens. 3 point 2,000,000 more than more than 20 health care companies at the last year. while no congressional rules barred none from financial rules from what they regulate. experts say it often reflects conflict of interest particularly if there is a chance the legislation could result in personal financial boost. there's a complete story inside the "washington post" and a graphic you can follow as well. you can go to that at "washington post".com. again we have open phones this morning. chicago, illinois. democrats line. james? >> just two things. i think the next time someone calls that is so blatantly racist and a tacks other groups in this country should be could out on it. the guest shouldn't take anymore than that. maybe you also. but secondly, i wanted to comment that's the movement grows we need to make sure the interests are protected and we have to have the right to joun a franci

in new hampshire after several early jobs had begun, pike decided to hold a job fair advertising 50 jobs but over 400 people showed up and they fill those positions and is expecting the stimulus job to save or create as much as 250 jobs. another great story within the example involved in a project taking place in the state of maine. last year we were fortunate enough to rebuild a large section of by to 95 this year the main entity into the fiscal season with the understanding it would not have the funds to support the sister project of the northbound by 295-barrel. as a result of the recovery act it has been able to move forward with great coordination between the dot this project has been advertised bid, awarded and will be completed by mid august. mid is pretty significant job involves 23 miles of roadway to completely rebuild and repave. all of it will take place and 120 days. the other nice thing is that at its peak it will support 350 jobs and the state of maine. members in virtually every state are reporting similar experiences and we will see greater benefits and the remainder of

like michael kahn in new hampshire who, as he puts it, spends 20% of each day supervising a staff, explaining insurance problems to patients, completing authorization forms, writing a few letters, a routine that he calls disruptive and distracting giving him less time to do what he became a doctor to do and actually care for his patients.

justice sooter always said he looked forward to returning to his home state of new hampshire. he never enjoyed being in washington, at least that was the impression he conveyed. he always said he wanted to go home at a time that was young enough to go home and go hiking and enjoy the outdoors. as far as justice sooter's legacy goes he was a one case at a time justice, with some exceptions. he didn't write in a general sense or issue sweeping opinions. that's not to say he didn't have important opinions. he issued one very important opinion after he was joined to the court when he did planned parenthood v. casey. one decision that hasn't gone unnoticed but deserves more importance is the case of the seminal, intellectual property case in which justice sooter addressed the issue of file share and it was ironic that this was an opinion authored by sooter, who fashioned himself of a man of the 19th century. he had a chance to apply long-standing legal documents to a technological document, and i think he got that exactly right. i think justice sooter's legacy will be the impact he
