The professor may feel uncomfortable but I am entitled to ask the questions. We had a sweeping statement that everybody's mental health is affected by the eighth amendment. I was very uncomfortable with that. Thousands of people in the country are very uncomfortable about it.

Professor O'Keane stated that she is not representing her profession here today and that her views on all the questions are personal.
