there is some knowledge of the trial. 57 percent said media bias is to blame and 18 percent said it is too gruesome and 6 percent said it was a local. none of the three major broadcast mentioned the case since it started. other media outlets have slow low changed course. the gosnell story is a local crime story and after taking a wave of back lash. wrote i was wrong the aggregious crimes have become a matter of national attention . the jury have asked a few questions of the judge but most of them is related to the co-defendant eileen o neal. they have yet to begin
is this fair play in a competitive economy? or is the equivalent of an athlete injecting. he takes it legally. his recent piece on the drug is called the new stimulus package. will, you talked to a bunch of folks who caution that adderall is a very potent stimulant. significant abuse potential. very adverse effects. you you talked about the case of a person who ultimately committed suicide. but you say it is okay for people like to you take on it a regular, daily basis. clear up the mixed messaging that we get about adderall. that s right. there is a the love mixed messaging. it can be dangerous like any prescription drug if you take it without the supervision of a doctor. i certainly wouldn t rep anyone doing that. i think a lot of the hype that we re hearing is part of the media back lash. and it is not really supported by the evidence.
now support same sex marriage. very different picture than ten years ago. the argument that s raised in that editorial is one of a message that s been coming out in the last few days, partly to downer what jonathan was raising. this notion that it is really hard to marshal evidence arguing against, arguing that prop 8 should be upheld. so the message has been coming out. the court should take it slowly. there will be a big back lash and they should decide the case the way pete said they might. not reach much of a ruling and kick it down the road for another day. we talk about timing. i know there was a comparison that cell phones and the internet were not around. i think one of the justices referred to it as modern examples, a time comparison of us having serious conversations about same-sex marriage. nevertheless, you ve got democrats just this week shifting their position, if you will, on same-sex marriage, mark
court from griswold and from civil rights and from miranda even. so it wasn t just this one decision that created that sort of back lash. and the other reason i don t think the parallel holds here is because people who believe, who are pro-life. who are staunchly pro-life, believe that abortion is tantamount to murder. no one thinks that gay marriage is like murder. so i don t think the emotions here run quite as high either. it is hard to imagine people really taking to the streets if doma were to be overturn at this time. yeah. and the other part of that is that while the emotions come from the grassroots, there has been a real shift among the political leadership in this country. when you look from president obama to president clinton to hillary clinton to rob portman to dick cheney, cleric mccaskill, jon huntsman. there are a tremendous number of federal officials, highly visible people in both parties.
i can see capehart s point that they might be reluctant given the new narrative. i don t know how the citizenses will rule. i don t pretend to have any particular insight into their mind sets here. but another comparison that he reference in the his piece was a new york time article over the weekend about parallels with the row v. wade decision. and the idea that the roe v. wade decision was in some ways counterproductive. created a back lash against the court. created a back lash culturally against expanded rights for abortion. and i just, i don t think that particular parallel makes a lot of sense. for one thing you cannot remove that one decision from the overall cultural context. and it wasn t just that one decision that sparked this back lash. you had already a back lash building against what was seen as excesses of the 60s. you already had a conservative back lash building against the
