Senator flake the nuclear side was pretty tight. It does truly limit irans ability to at least amass enough fissile material to make a bomb for 1015 years. Thats a good thing. The part the troubled me most is that this probably should have been a treaty where it binds all parties. Instead, it is an executive agreement that just lasts the length of the presidency. When there are other issues, like problems with what iran has been doing in the region, some of the terrorist activity, i thought that the agreement unfairly restricts congresss ability to respond to that type of behavior. Thats what tipped the scales for me. For those who say this is an easy call, i think they have not looked easily at it or all the closely at it. This is a tough agreement. Charlie if we oppose this deal what do you mean on the opposite side of our allies . It depends on whats which allies you are talking about. Sen. Flake the p5 plus one negotiated this agreement. The countries who have been involved in the
Disparagement provision placed be placed on speech itself. It has historically been much more tied to First Amendment values, to the incentivizeation of Free Expression. Part of that seems to me to ignore the fact that we have a culture in which we had tshirts and logos and rock bands and so forth are expressing the point of view they are using the market to express views. I mean certainly disparagement wouldnt work with copyright. Thats a powerful important Government Program. Ret melet me say two or three things before that. Music the slants are expressing views on social and political issues. They have a First Amendment right to do that.

I was somewhat surprised that in your brief you couldnt bring yourself to say t
May it please the court. The provision at issue in the case, 15 u. S. Beliefs or National Symbols. Based on that provision, the pto denied to region the slants, as a service mark of the band. It did not limit the ability to use the mark in commerce or to otherwise engage in expression or debate on any subject that he wishes. Because of the disparagement provision restricts the program and not speech, it does not violate the First Amendment. It was a copy righted Government Program . I would say copright and c y copyright registration is tied to values of Free Expression. The part that seems to me that ignore the fact that we have a culture in which we have tshirts and logos and rock bands and so forth, but we are expressing a pouint of view, thy are using the market to express views. Disparagement would not clearly work with copyright, that is a powerful, important Government Program. Through their music, the slants are expressing views on social and political issues. They are able to
Did not limit a respondents ability to engage in expression or debate on any subject he wishes. Because section 52 as disparagement provision places restrictions on certain areas, it does not violate the First Amendment. I cooperate of a Government Program . It has historically been more tied to First Amendment values. To the incentivizing of Free Expression. Factat seems to ignore the that we have a culture in which logos, rockrched, bands, expressing a point of view. Using the market to express views. Disparagements would not work with copyrights. As a powerful Government Program. Let me say two or three things about that. There is no question that through their music, the slants views onssing their issues. Theyre are able to get intellectual Property Protection that way. If they were prevented from having copyright protection or registration on their music, that would pose much more substantial First Amendment issues. Im surprised that you could not bring yourself to say that the go
