The brook lawson lawsuit. Brook, i cant see the picture it might be up on the wall. Shes in my 11th Congressional District of georgia. If it not for the brook lawson lawsuit and she was killed. The fact that her lawyers figured out that the ignition switch part model from 2008 was different from model years 05, 06, and 07, would we even know about this ignition switch problem today . Would we even be aware of it . The answer is, yes, because there was an open and at that point, significant investigation going on at that particular point. And certainly, there was information and evidence that was accumulating as they were going forward, pointing to the fact that they had nondeployments. Pointing to the fact they had fatalities, and pointing to the fact that the switch had something to do with it. That smacks of a big coverup to me. And after gm learned of this change, it took months for gm outside experts to confirm they had a change. Why did this take so long . I dont have an answer fo

Were just saying, respe
Constitution, we had states like connecticut that had established churches still. But they were not active in that way. So i guess this idea of sharia being so broad seems to me to be more than just about whatever religion you believe in, because there are millions and millions of people who are muslims who do not subscribe to the overall political ideology that comes with that. Yes, thats thats absolutely right. You can have an established religion. In the United States we prefer not to have that. We disestablished our churches in the states, i think the last ones died out in the 1830s. But britain has the Anglican Church, it has an established religion, but it is respectful of the rights of religious minorities. I lived in britain myself for five years lives a graduate student and as a visiting scholar. I was not a member of the established church but i was entirely free to practice my own religion.
