The term zero tolerance has been used as a pejorative term to criticize broken windows, and appropriately so. Broken windows wasnt zero tolerance. Zero tolerance, first of all, implies a zealotry about you will have no discretion. And the second thing is, it says you dont have any discretion which is exactly what we want to avoid which sets up a high arrest thing. But let me just talk about, zero tolerance can be a useful tool at times, at particular locations around particular problems. But you have to be very specific about that. Think, for example, of just a very simple example, school buses. We simply understand that the risks of people passing school buses is so great and the consequence is so great that we dont want any discretion about that. We want to send out a message you pass a school bus thats discharging or getting children, youre in deep, deep trouble. So and i could give you other examples of that.

It down to 78 cases where there was a real case negligent hiring. Not just a one of the lawyers threw up against the wall like spaghetti to see what would stick. We found 41 cases and all those years that were true that legit hiring.

Greece shows that at least four nonchristian prayergivers delivered prayers thereafter in 2009, 10, 11 and 13. On the sectarian points, clearly the line. Counsel. Im sorry . One a year. Im sorry, your honor . Four additional people after the suit was filed. Yes, your honor. One a year. Approximately. How often does the legislature meet . Once a month. And on the sectarian line, i just like to point the court to the senate brief, the amicus brief filed by senators, pages 8 to 17 which shows the extensive history from the beginning of the republic until today of prayer in congress. That would be sectarian and unconstitutional under respondents position. With respect to coercion, its unquestionably true that there is less basis for claiming coercion here than there was in marsh. In marsh, senator chambers was required to be on the senate floor by rule, he had to be there to do his job and the practice was to stand every single time, which he did because he felt coerced to do it, whereas, ....
