Fighters can never admire the hourlong fury, an incredible sunrise, and sometimes at lea
I said there are challenges and opportunities. There always are. In this particular time, i see the challenges and opportunities melding together. When we think back on what has gone on in our state over the last five years, the recovery we have made has been exceptional. It is not complete, but it has been exceptional. I want to remind you of a few of the things we confronted a little more than four years ago when we all gathered here in 2010. We were confronting a budget crisis in the middle of a fiscal year that only had less than four months remaining. We had to reduce spending by over 2 billion between the beginning of february and the middle of march or the state of new jersey would not have met payroll for the second pay period in march. We had declining state tax revenue. A declining unemployment rate. The Business Community that was stymied by the troubled National Economy and burdened by the wet blanket of years and years of tax increases in the state of new jersey on those b
Skills what you see is that everyone is delaying marriage in th isty, but one swa delaying having kids until after marriage. How do you spread those norms . I think this is interesting. I call myself a conservative i am comfortable in this goes back to the issue of conclusion more broadly. When you are looking at how parenting has evolved, we look at upper and middle educated people, their parenting not in the way that people parented in the 1950s and 1960s. They are inventing in parenting in a new way. This happens to be unusually wellsuited to a society in which you have very rapid cultural and economic change. Is the high investment parenting is the only thing that this note row group of people can do . Or is this something that a larger part of the population can do . If you need a Public Policy, as i suspect you do, i think that is something we need to think hard about. I think that is going to introduce an interesting new tension. We have been in a rhetorical moment of a Movement
Political restructuring doctrine test and to either mr. Bursch, isnt yes. Isnt the position that was taken in seattle derived from a different view of the equal protection clause . I mean, strict scrutiny was originally put forward as a protection for minorities a protection for minorities against hostile disadvantageous legislation. And so the view then was we use strict scrutiny when the majority is disadvantaging the minority. So you do, under the carolene products view, you do focus on race and you ask, is the minority being disadvantaged . If that were the view, then i suppose we would not be looking at this, well, the criterion is race and wherever the disadvantage falls, whether a majority or minority, its just the same. That wasnt the original idea of when strict scrutiny is appropriate. So if we were faithful to that notion, that it is measures a disadvantage the the minority that get strict scrutiny. Well, two thoughts on that, justice ginsburg. First, under grutter, this cou
I am the only one prosecuted, indicted, and convicted. I had nothing to do with surveillance. I resisted with everything i had. Who authorize surveillance and approve surveillance they all have immunity. In fact, if i had committed surveillance if i had engaged in surveillance, i would not have been prosecuted. John kiriakou, if he had tortured he would not be in , prison today. What does that tell you . The press has been complicit in the war crimes any wrongdoing and the suspension of the constitution since 9 11. It is high time. You are faced with the stark reality that you are going to be in this. You need to question this. Question authority. You need to question everything. Especially question authority. How else do we know what is going on without being informed . This is a fundamental and some suggest, the fatal flaw, of any democracy, no matter what form it takes. Including a constitutional republic. It is ultimately about keeping the public informed. The public has the respon
