BIOGRAPHY The people of Maryland elected BARBARA A. MIKULSKI to be their U.S. Senator because she’s a fighter—looking out for the day-to-day needs of Marylanders and the long range needs of the Nation. Growing up in the Highlandtown neighborhood of East Baltimore, Senator MIKULSKI learned the values of hard work, neighbor helping neighbor, and heartfelt patriotism. She often saw her father open the family grocery store early so local steelworkers could buy lunch before the morning shift. Determined to make a difference in her community, BAR- BARA MIKULSKI became a social worker in Baltimore, helping at-risk children and educating seniors about the Medicare Program. Social work evolved into community activism when Senator MIKULSKI successfully organized communities against a plan to build a 16-lane highway through Balti- more’s Fells Point neighborhood. She helped stop the road, saving Fells Point and Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, both thriv- ing residential and commercial communities today. Senator MIKULSKI is a trailblazer. Her first election was a successful run for Baltimore City Council in 1971, where she served for 5 years. In 1976, she ran for Congress and won, representing Maryland’s Third district for 10 years. In 1986, she ran for Senate and won, becoming the first Democratic woman Senator elected in her own right. She was reelected with large majorities in 1992, 1998, 2004, and 2010. A leader in the Senate, BARBARA MIKULSKI is the dean of the women—serving as a mentor to other women Senators when they first take office. As the dean, she builds coali- tions—proving that the Senate women are not solo acts, but work together to get things done. Senator MIKULSKI’s experiences as a social worker and ac- tivist provided valuable lessons that she draws on as a U.S. Senator. She believes her constituents have a right to know, a right to be heard, and a right to be represented. She lis- tens to her constituents and makes the personal, political.

Mr. President, on Saturday, Senator BARBARA MIKULSKI becomes the longest serving woman in the history of the U.S. Congress. We will mark that occasion on Wednes- day when her family and friends will be present here in the Capitol. I have prepared detailed remarks for that occasion, but I thought it was important that we note very briefly here today this milestone in the history of our country. Last January BARBARA MIKULSKI surpassed Margaret Chase Smith from Maine as the longest serving woman in the Senate. On Saturday, March 17, she will surpass Con- gresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers from Massachusetts as the longest serving woman in Congress. Mrs. HAGAN. As I take the floor in support of the Vio- lence Against Women Reauthorization Act, it is fitting to

  • The Sarbanes-Oxley Act: the First Decade July 30, 2012
    The Sarbanes-Oxley Act: The First Decade July 30, 2012 PROFESSOR MARK BEASLEY: Good afternoon. Welcome to The Sarbanes-Oxley Act: The First Decade. My name is Mark Beasley. I am the Deloitte Professor of Enterprise Risk Management and Professor of Accounting in the Poole College of Management at North Carolina State University which is based in Raleigh, North Carolina. It is a pleasure to welcome our audience here at the Jack Morton Auditorium on the campus of The George Washington University in Washington D.C. as well as those who are joining us live via the internet through the SEC Historical Society’s virtual museum at www.sechistorical.org. It is a pleasure to welcome you all here today. Ten years ago today, President George Bush signed into law The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 after it was approved by the House with a vote of 423 to 3 and by the Senate with a vote of 99 to 0. At the time in 2002, we were on the heels of the corporate scandals at Enron, WorldCom and others that followed, Adelphia and Tyco and beyond, as well as the dotcom crisis. We were also dealing with the impact of 9/11 as well. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was designed to enhance and strengthen corporate governance, particularly over the financial reporting processes in public companies in the United States. As you know, the act had a number of provisions primarily to enhance corporate governance, to place more responsibilities and authority on the shoulders of boards of directors, particularly audit committees, as well as to strengthen the accountabilities for management of public companies, the auditors of the financial statements, and to try to enhance the strength of internal controls, financial reporting and particularly to increase transparency over the financial reporting and disclosure process.

  • Lessons Learned from Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
    LESSONS LEARNED FROM JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG Amanda L. Tyler* INTRODUCTION Serving as a law clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the Supreme Court’s October Term 1999 was one of the single greatest privileges and honors of my life. As a trailblazer who opened up opportunities for women, she was a personal hero. How many people get to say that they worked for their hero? Justice Ginsburg was defined by her brilliance, her dedication to public service, her resilience, and her unwavering devotion to taking up the Founders’ calling, set out in the Preamble to our Constitution, to make ours a “more perfect Union.”1 She was a profoundly dedicated public servant in no small measure because she appreciated just how important her role was in ensuring that our Constitution belongs to everyone. Whether as an advocate or a Justice, she tirelessly fought to dismantle discrimination and more generally to open opportunities for every person to live up to their full human potential. Without question, she left this world a better place than she found it, and we are all the beneficiaries. As an advocate, Ruth Bader Ginsburg challenged our society to liber- ate all persons from the gender-based stereotypes that held them back. As a federal judge for forty years—twenty-seven of them on the Supreme Court—she continued and expanded upon that work, even when it meant in dissent calling out her colleagues for improperly walking back earlier gains or halting future progress.2 In total, she wrote over 700 opinions on the D.C.

POLITICAL POLARIZATION, THE SUPREME COURT, AND CONGRESS RICHARD L. HAsEN* I. INTRODUCTION On the last of three historic days of oral argument considering the constitutionality of the Obama administration's health care law, the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court turned to the question of severability: if the Court struck down one or more major components of the law, should the entire, over 900-page law' fall as well, or should the Court sever the unconstitutional parts and preserve the rest of it? One of the lawyers arguing in favor of severability contended that even if the Court struck down the heart of the law, "yes, Congress would have wanted" 2 other provisions kept intact, such as those giving new benefits for victims of black lung disease. In response, Justice Kennedy asked, "[T]he real Congress or a hypothetical Congress?"3 The audience laughed.4 * Chancellor's Professor of Law and Political Science, University of California, Irvine School of Law.
