But as they get older, it can shrink and those areas that they really start to trust can get smaller.
B
13:18Bill ThompsonGUEST
And with bachelor groups, they'll be following the most dominant or oldest buck around when they're in these bachelor groups, kind of learning everything from the old guy.

Um, the point is that if you've got to... a whole load of lorries delivering a whole load of stuff to a whole load of addresses, doing it efficiently matters.

#2473 - Bill Thompson
S
127:18speaker_11HOST
I don't.
B
127:20Bill ThompsonGUEST
When you read "The Federalist Papers," and "The Federalist Papers," I really love reading "The Federalist Papers." I love reading how they informed the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, um, the Declaration even.
B
127:31Bill ThompsonGUEST
Um, John Jay, James Madison wrote these documents explaining the framework and the Seventeenth Amendment, essentially how the SenateThe Senate, right? The 50 people there that are supposed to be representing us, was originally constructed was a state would have legislatures, and the state legislatures and the governor would appoint the senator.
B
127:49Bill ThompsonGUEST
The reason that the founders did that was because they've- the state governments had to give power to the federal government to exist.
S
131:57speaker_12HOST
Right.

You guys didn't, decided not to do that and why not at least try? I don't understand that.
B
13:26Bill ThompsonGUEST
And, and I certainly understand and hear from, uh, the families and members of the public, uh, who will always have the question, "Why?" Uh, as we viewed this and looking at the circumstances of this case, it was our conclusion, and ultimately my conclusion, I'll take responsibility.
B
13:47Bill ThompsonGUEST
Um, but it was our, our team's decision that getting the guilty pleas, straight-up factual guilty pleas, uh, was going to be the best legal way to approach this.
B
13:58Bill ThompsonGUEST
I think that there were concerns that somebody like this particular defendant, uh, if he was trying to allocute in a specific factual fashion, he could actually undermine the basis for his plea and the judge would not have as solid of a foundation to uphold the plea.
B
14:16Bill ThompsonGUEST
So, we, we analyzed this really from a pretty strict legal factual point of view.
