in the first pages they've logged it 57 times how can you cut this off i'm disableus of the petitioners understanding of the intact i have no confidence we've not had a positive confidence most recently with the parents concerns from the patterns that didn't want their kids co-locked with the leadership not a shed of evidence for the equally equality of the model i want to point out one model on the passengers is that are more focused on the partnership and the relationship in our packet this evening they've included a letter from a parent this letter constraints personal details about any child but because it says nice things it was appropriate to include it was not i urge any colleagues to vote no, it is the paeshgsz lack experience i'm suspicious. >> okay commissioner wynns would you like to follow that. >> no, but thank you okay. so you i can start by saying the skepticism i find it disturbing people think they're our partners in supporting the partnership so when we give contracts with our close partners and is i know that would be great and seem to be no understanding at all and d

to the petitioners' counsel. she said that would be perfectly lawful, for you to say it's not the position of the state department, this is not an indication that israel is has jurisdiction over jerusalem. >> your honor -- >> why wouldn't that solve the problem? >> it doesn't solve the problem because the issuance of the disclaimer is a credibility hit. it undermines the credibility of the president because what is think about what it's actually saying. what it's actually saying in this context is yes, we're issuing thousands of passports that identify persons born in jerusalem as being born in israel, yes, the congress of the united states required that, but pay no attention to it really, it doesn't have any bearing on recognition. >> if it had if it were such a big deal, why did the chief executive at the time sign it? >> well, the chief executive and issued a signing statement which really was, in effect, a disclaimer, in 2002. president bush's statement said in 2002, this does not change our official recognit

the petitioner will request to change it would be within the boards authority if they deserved to entertain a people time or resubmission and enter without going through the standards committee process if the board in their opinion the changes were relatively minor. >> so i'm saying the normal process is what i think you're telling or your president me to say vote up and down and if it's voted a brand new submissions would be handled through the normal process i am also saying though because this is a product of board policy you could modify that if you so desired am i i'm questioning i think i'm - >> well, so my question general council to the boards discretion of whether or not they'd like to reconsider it if there's wasn't major changes to the petition is that what i'm hearing. >> within the boards discretion yes, ma'am and i'm wonder what constitutes a major decisions because i refer back to the last amendment we did or approval we did with kip and also gateway about their attendance preference this is changing a preference and it warranted a whole process because that was significant e

there were plenty of questions we needed answered i appreciate the petitioners have sent sunset documents all of the commissioners through the packet in their mailboxs from the several questions that came 11 pages of responses to the questions that we brought up in curriculum i wanted to appreciate emily and ryan for getting those to us as quickly as possible and being thorough and i apologize. i can't i have to remember what the recommendations was from the curriculum meeting so maybe the budget committee can respond. >> sure while you're checking our file the budget committee heard this petition on october 1st staff review found insufficiencies including an overrefines on what they call soft revenues for the operating costs loans for that insufficient allowances for contributions to the teacher retirement system and also flag extremely low cash balances year one and two in their budget the petitioner supplied changes to the petition lower the salaries for teachers across the boards and benefits to address those concerns committee forwarded the petition back to the full board with no rec

first thing the petitioners came

implication of the petitioner's argument. congress could require that -- >> but the law isn't in front of us. >> but what the court to hold the constitution of the law that is in front of you it seems to me the necessary implication of the would be that congress could prevent the disclaimer, could require not just that israel be listed but jerusalem, israel be listed on a country birth. those are very serious interference is with -- >> general, if i'm understanding your narrow holding, just so that we can underscore it, what you're saying is that congress can't compel speech by the president with respect to foreign relations. >> i would put it a little more narrowly, your honor, that congress cannot compel the executive to issue diplomatic communications that contradicts the official position of the united states on a matter of recognition. i think that's the question before the court in this case. >> i picked up this passport and his place of birth, israel. do i know whether this person was born in jerusalem or in haifa? >>

parties of the region, i think the whole premise of petitioner's argument here is within the government of the united states, there isn't a dissput over the recognition issue. >> can you help me with this same question, but how should we approach it generally? that is to say, i think a step where a similar statute is serving another other than administrative matter, the passport should be red or something and i can think of instances where it cause a lot of trouble. i can think of instances like this one and i could -- and you could easily replicate this controversy with israel in our imaginations, similar controversy with done netsing and t -- donetsk and the ukraine, similar with russia and something comes up or iran and that russia once invaded the northern part of iran and all over the world, there can be similar kinds of problems, where it's debatable what the words of a passport actually mean or how they will be taken by others and what others will think they mean. now, how do we who know little about it determine when it gets into the realm that we should stay out of it and let t

among the petitioners is this man that currently lives with his wife and mother in a temporary housing complex. before the accident, the family lived under the same roof with their son, his wife, and four grandchildren. now, most of the family lives in tokyo. they only get to meet about twice a year. he says right after the accident he left his grandchildren outside to play without knowing that radiation levels had become extremely high. >> translator: i've heard specialists say something could happen in five, seven, ten years. what will happen to the kids over the next five to ten years? nobody knows. >> reporter: he used to grow rice and vegetables on his seven hectors of land. the property that fed his ancestors lies heavily contaminated with the radioactive particles. >> translator: this is not about the money. we've lost absolutely everything, is and we have no idea where we're headed. how long will it take to get it back to what it was? ten years? 20 years? >> reporter: tepco officials say they will sincerely consider e claim following the procedure. the residents hope they will

the judge went on to exonerate secretary of state kemp, saying -- "the petitioners have failed to come forward with evidence showing that the secretary of state has failed to carry out this duty, or even that this duty is ripe, since it can only be carried out after the various counties' election registrars register an eligible voter." your response to that? >> i think it is a poor rating of what the law says. the law requires and the state has said secretary of state is essentially the ceo of elections. he is the chief elections officer. that means it is his job to tell the counties what to do. when the counties do that job, he sets up the screenings, the use of the secretary of state's website -- i'm sorry, the social security administration, the use of department of corrections. he batch processes all of the letters. he batch processes all of the precinct cards. the secretary of state is actually the head of elections. the counties are essentially franchisees that get information from the secretary of state or have to follow the secretary of state's orders. the problem we have with
