Let me just say that much of the discussion was around the Sanchez case. That is a very crucial case. It is not, in my opinion, crucial because it speaks about a seat in Congress, although I tell my colleagues I love my seat and I know how important that is. It is crucial because it speaks about a much broader issue. And it is the treatment of a community. The last gentleman who spoke clearly said that other communities had been investigated but there are many people who feel that the target was specifically the Hispanic community that presents to some people a political threat.
