Jonah. I don't mean to drag you back into this if it's past time to move on but I'm certainly not trying to blur the distinction between lawyers and priests. That distinction though is based on a lot more than the obligation to keep confidences under certain formal circumstances. My quarrel in this narrow situation involving that particular confidentiality obligation is that I just don't see the big difference between ethics and morality. Yes the priest is expected to counsel the confessor to come clean. But let's assume the confessor refuses. The priest then has a dilemma: does he break the seal of the confessional or does he let the innocent man rot in jail? I don't think that's materially different from the lawyer's dilemma in this situation. There are different ways a religious creed could have handled this dilemma including allowing the priest to decide what the right thing to do was under all the circumstances. That would have reduced injustice although there would also have been fewer confessions. In any event the choice made was to protect the seal of the confessional absolutely. The priest who violates it to do what he sees as the greater justice (or the lesser evil) is guilty not just of an ethical wrong but a moral wrong. Contrast a lawyer heeding the attorney-client privilege. If the worst thing we can say about him is that he did not encourage his client to come clean that does not seem to me to be such a great offense — or even an offense at all. If the lawyer had gotten the case after the same client had been arrested for the crime the lawyer's task would be to put the government to its burden of proof and do whatever he could within the bounds of the law to get the client off the hook. It hardly seems right then to fault the lawyer for failing to encourage the client to surrender the very evidence it would be the lawyer's duty to undermine if the client were charged. This isn't about mistaking lawyers and priests. It's about the perils of making rules that sound wonderful in the abstract but create dilemmas (moral ethical or legal) and inevitably injustices when reality inconveniently intervenes. I may be hyper-sensitive to this because it's a lot like the torture/waterboarding debate we were having recently where the issue was whether a high-minded categorical bar was worth having even if enforcing it for the protection of a morally guilty person would deprive us of information that might save countless innocent lives. to society — addressing the plight of an innocent man imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit might be more important at least sometimes. Nevertheless our protection of these communications is often absolute. Indeed the attorney-client privilege is preferable to the priest-penitent because the former at least has some caveats. The priest to the contrary may never reveal the confession no matter how iniquitous the result. I'm not sure if I were writing the rules that I'd so sanctify these privileged communications. But given that these are the society's rules. I don't think iniquitous means morally repugnant.

I evaluate Brooks and Van Zandt are actually staking out a conservative position here: the importance of common grow defining it and promoting it. I bet Van Zandt would be willing to place his rock and roll canon within the context of American musical heritage in command which would include Duke Ellington. Aaron Copeland. JP Sousa and Irving Berlin. What teenager wouldn't benefit from being fluent in all that great music and all the ancilary stuff in American cultural history it touches on? Van Zandt just happens to be a Rock & turn expert so that's the corner he's pushing on... The problem is that America's cultural and political elites don't undergo the will popular capital or comprehend of need to identify or promote any kind of Americal cultural canon in any area of liberal arts whatsoever. Doing so might step on toes or heaven command sugest that one thing is better than another thing. The Great Western literary canon is mostly taught to be ridiculed these days. Harvard doesn't even undergo a history department and everyone wants their team/tribe/hero in the Parthenon and no one can agree on anything. Van Zandt may not realize how much the cultural curriculum has changed since he was last in a classroom. I'm giving Brooks the benefit of the doubt in that he's looking for an go to get populate concerned about the imoprtance of a common american culture and not trying to push "Crosby. Stills & Nash: conflict and healing during the Vietnam War" into American high educate curriculums... People of various political persuasions ordain express you that permanant mass fragmentation IS viable in a universally socialized or libertarian live-and-let-live post-nationstate world. BUT I would argue that an organized and aggressive (and possibly nasty) populate who do overlap a common culture and who do have common beliefs and aspirations will eventually come along and take your goodies away from you in rather unpleasant ways. A common grow is important to any society and Van Zandt's lie is better than Brooks' which for a go away is historically absurd. The idea that the Stones and Dylan be a universally beloved pop culture would be news to Sixties suburban couples with their Ray Conniff eight-tracks. Boomer rockers explicitly sold themselves as oppositional to mainstream grow: that was their appeal - "The Times They Are A-Changin'." Well now the times have a-changed again and this time David Brooks is on the receiving end and doesn't care for it anymore than Pop did approve when the hippies mocked his Singalongamitch albums. Big deal. That's life. But a social analyst (which is the Brooks shtick) ought to be able to get beyond his generational blinkers: Nostalgia isn't an argument especially when "White Christmas" in the Forties or "In The Good Old Summertime" in the Oughts or Stephen Foster in the 19th century can all stake more convincing claims to being exemplars of broad crowd.

I was surprised that Byron's post didn't feature any numbers for Global Warming featuring among the Democrats' choice for most important issue so I had a. The reason why is because even partisan Democrats aren't particularly excited by it. In Iowa a express where ethanol and energy are important issues too few Democrats to register mentioned global warming as the most important issue in determining their choice of candidate. Taking the top two issues together. 4-percent said the Environment. 3-percent said Energy/Ethanol and 2-percent global warming. There may be some overlap between these groups so it is impossible to add these up even to 9-percent. bequeath - that’s the Democrats. Now admittedly this is from a midwest state but the figures for environmentally “aware” New Hampshire aren’t much different. In the latest there just 4-percent of Democrats alter it their #1 issue with 3-percent their #2 (an additional 5-percent named it their #3 issue something that wasn’t asked in the Iowa poll). In South Carolina a poll in October found just 0.8-percent of Democrats mentioning the Environment as their most important air - lower (though meaninglessly so) than the 1-percent of Republicans!

The music/dancing discussion dovetails nicely with the reader point in thelawyer go. Even if dancing is only a social metaphor for intercoursesociety still gets to displace the line where the metaphor ends and theintercourse beings. Freaking/grinding is nothing more than the verticalization of dry-humping,and therefore is foreplay beat left to bedrooms and backseats.

So a reporter for USA Today calls me and asks about my opposition to the adjudicate citing my posts here. I told him I am not opposed to the judge. I don't know him. I am just asking questions. And I'd desire to experience why Schumer and Aron liked him. I also said that those conservatives who argue him will have a high bar to jump given that many conservatives like him. This is not a Harriet Miers situation in which there was come universal and immediate outrage on the Right. And I closed by saying if he is nominated the president is likely to get him. Besides he would only have 15 months if he started today and that's not enough time for anyone to accomplish much or do much alter. So let me tell for any reporter out there reading this place don't look to me as leading a assort of malcontents against this adjudicate. I am simply curious about him.

While defending judicial nominees who undergo ruled in advance of pro-life positions conservatives argued that regardless of their personal beliefs it’s important that judges hold the law; we say that dems shouldn’t care about their personal beliefs just that they will not evaluate a case based on their own feelings or the popularity of a position. I don’t know the merits of the Chinese asylum case but if the Judge was upholding the law despite the sympathetic lay of the appellant then as cold as it sounds he took the conservative position (for the law not for personal opinion). Conservatives can’t argue for an unbiased nominee only when he rules our way. We can’t say that upholding the law trumps personal opinion and then be upset when upholding the law trumps our personal opinions. Wouldn’t we shouldn’t we argue a judge who looked past the law in request to command in favor of a sympathetic appellant? Wouldn’t we have ridiculed a judge that set the law aside to let his opinion rule the day? And shouldn’t we give those who choke drink tears and uphold the law change surface when it’s painful?

I wonder if this isn't a closer case than suggested the cerebrate Andy provided describing the come in. Among other things it provides: "The Board is directed to apply its independent judgment in hearing appeals for the Attorney General." As pointed out it is an executive branch entity. So the attorney general issues guidelines as explained in an earlier affix directing the INS to give careful consideration to China's coercive family planning policies in deciding asylum petitions and the Board that works for the attorney command responds by saying in essence that it doesn't apply to it? This seems a little slippery does it not? The attorney general's position was communicated through the guidelines. It was known including to the come in. The Board reports to him. Its members are inferior employees. But it says in effect you must not convey us since you referred to the INS? Yet this is the come in that makes these determinations re asylum. Maybe the guidelines weren't perfected to the satisfaction of the come in. But who cares? The Board knew what the boss's lay was and decided it didn't bear on to it. This seems odd. Clearly the attorney general didn't intend for his asylum guidelines to be ignored by the Board which appears to have taken the opposite substantive lay on asylum for this particular petitioner. The affix also indicates that Congress passed a law similar to the Meese guidelines (I anticipate) and Bush 41 vetoed it. As an aside do we know whether this was a stand alone account and the reasons for the veto? The Clinton administration apparently derailed the Barr command which would have reversed the Board's ruling as well according to the post. So that would act us approve to the Meese guidelines which if they hadn't been withdrawn or modified by subsequent attorneys command would seemingly still be in cause. I don't know that to be the inspect but am commenting from the post. Therefore the air for a judge wouldn't be whether to substitute his own policy preferences for the political branches but to command on whether the Board was correct in rejecting the Meese guidelines. (I am busy writing another book so I admittedly am limiting my comments to the information provided here on the forum.)Now having said the above gratify don't misconstrue what I have said. I am impressed with the judge's preserve as summarized by Andy and others re the war on terrorism. And I must say that's no small be. It also suggests an approach to the law that deserves much credit. So those who would oppose his possible nomination to AG have a high bar to move if they evaluate to rally opposition among conservatives. But there are those of us who have not practiced before this judge and are not intimately familiar with his rulings over the years and we've just heard of the possibility of his nomination for AG.

I've been here in the past and I thought it was pretty good.. but i went today and maybe they're having an off day but the wonton dope noodles were very weak. Now giving them some credit the dope locate itself was good (fairly lighten not too oily or saltyy most places in ctown alter the broth way too salty) and thats probably the hardest part but the noodles were woefully undercooked (tasted like they weren't cooked at all) and the wontons were horrible (tasted desire i got some frozen ones and put them in the cook). We also got the sliced pig which was okay but the meat was a bit dry (normally i love this stuff) Now given that i have had good meals in the past here im hoping that its just an off day. That said does anyone know where u can get some good wonton soup noodles?? I'm craving a good bowl for some reason (i really want the ones desire i used to get in HK --> though my expectations are reasonable i experience i wont be able to sight that level but just a good bowl would suffice) have seen this restaurant alot but never actually been.. planning on trying it soon though now.. this bark link has a map on it I desire the fish ball rice noodle soup at Roasted Delights. 5 Catherine St. Maybe you can try the wonton noodles there. Also great for fans of bright fluorescent lighting. haha i actually walked by Roasted Delights yesterday and was thinking "i query if this place is any good?".. sounds desire i need to try it now I've only had the beef brood noodle soup and some of the roast meats over rice there but it's decent and cheap. Much exceed than that fujianese noodle displace around the corner on that triangle that's now the parking spot for those atlantic city casino buses. Tasteless soup clumpy noodles high prices and miniscule portions. I went by there today and noticed they undergo an extensive menu including nine casserole dishes and three different preparations of flounder. also sea bass carp and grouper.
