Every factor of our lives and certainly those who practice in the law firm. Most of us have had to confront that. We also see in our lives historical challenges to our liberty in this country. As i have been going around this country talking to republican groups who feel disheartened with the level of autocracy that our government is imposing on us, one of the common themes that i like to use in my speeches is the word courage. Courage is something that is underestimated in our lives and it has caused me over the last couple of years to really think about what it means to demonstrate courage. Courage is demonstrated by lawyers who take on popular causes and during covid, many people in this room stepped up to go against the tide of what everyone in society was telling us and insist on our Constitutional Rights not being abridged by state and federal governments. There could be no better example of a lawyer who has exemplified courage in his daily life throughout his career in paul clem
Yesterday, i had the pleasure of testifying before the House Administration committee on protecting political speech, particularly with respect to elections, and it was a pleasure to have as a colleague on that panel Justin Reamer from the rnc who you all know well, and also our Judicial Affairs colleague audrey perry martin. All three of us were able to talk about the effective viewpoint discrimination that is becoming rampant in our society with cancel culture permeating every factor of our lives and certainly those who practice in the law firm.

Dont get the support. There are many factors. One of them being that again, its largely an immigrant community. You have a lot of the resources, that are provided by either the government or by lgbt organizations, not always in the languages that they speak. Theyre not always addressed to their specific needs. In a lot of the Hindu Community centers, there tends to be a lack of focus on lgbt people. I think thats because its such a new issue for many. There hasnt been a very large hindu Lgbt Community. It is growing very quickly. As a result, when you have issues, hindu students who to want come out and fight, any potential backlash, in many cases they face communities who dont know how to help them. So they are in a curious bind. In my time, i have had a chance to have these conversations with them and also, to work on both sides on educating the community, on how to help them and serving as advocate.

Delivered a guilty verdict against the general separate frrm the tokyo trials. This was the first war crimes conviction of world war ii. I knew nothing about mistreatment of civilians in manila. It was probably a flawed case. The general had been the commander in manila only a few weeks before the invasion. He was tried not for committing war crimes himself but failure to control troops. Douglas mcarthur didnt wait for justice in the philippines tribunal. 20 october 1944, for mac arthur this was personal. This had been his home many years. For the brutal treatment of pows and civilians in the philippines, mac arthur issued this order for Japanese Forces under the command of the general. I shall during the course of the present campaign hold the japanese authorities in philippines any hard against prisoners of war, civilians and non combatants proper treatment to which theyre entitled. Mac arthur had the belief of the code of the soldier and safety of scivilians. In the bloodshed that f
