This is the people’s house. It should be open to the people. And just to say that, you know, hey maybe for whoever will have the massive guard presence, and have it fenced off from the public I think is the wrong choice.

If you are confirmed, how will you work to ensure that companies like Amazon and others, that have such incredible power and market concentration, how will you work to ensure that they do not unduly influence government policy?

Do you think it has a negative impact on our public policy?
