Nd students can hear all sides f the constitutional debates at the center of American Life and make up their own minds. This is an exciting moment. It is also a time familial celebration. Many donors are here tonight. Their names are recognized in the gallery. William and Hillary Rodham clinton, president clinton served as chair of the Constitution Center after president bush and their friendship is a model for the bipartisanship the center exemplifies. It is my privilege to introduce the superb share of the national Constitution Center. When i began this wonderful job, governor jeb bush told me his father considered his service to be his most meaningful postpresident ial service. That persuaded bush to follow clinton. His commitment to educating children of all ages about the founding documents has helped to cement our exciting collaborations with the college board, intelligence squared, with whom we started a onstitutional debate series, and a model for nonpartisanship and patriotism
Representing atheists and secular people that scalia dismissed. I believe it was, they will never be satisfied, we dont need to consider them. We were talking about complicity in hobby lobby. This new idea that the catholic majority has brought in. If you make it easier for somebody to commit a sin, that sin can be placed back on to you. The owners of hobby lobby were allowed to not provide contraception. How does that fit in with the concept of the judge as an umpire . Surely, if you have five justices who believe, for example, a portion is a sin if they make a decision that says abortion can be legal, under that same. Of complicity, they are getting a sin themselves. Can they really be expected to make a decision as the umpire . If they are turning around and are on record as saying, that would be sinful . . Anybody . You spoke about that a little bit. Im not an expert on catholic doctrine. I cannot answer that question. In general, one benefit you could say that the Catholic Church
He was among Freedom Fighters of became mayors. And change the culture of those towns. Marion was a Freedom Fighter and a longdistance runner. You can cross the finish line with a resume, and add campaign, and some money and be on official but marion came not as a show horse but a workhorse. He came across the line with people in it. Lifting up the seniors and the poor and those was a backs were against the wall. He was a hero. He has got scars from his scars. He got his scars from his scars. Stars from his scars. Some will have only uniforms because they did not volunteer for the team. Cowards. Local changes a contact sport. Some make the team but never the field. Those on the field have grass stains and blood on the uniforms. No one ever hit a homerun or scored a touchdown from the bench or from the stands. If you play baseball, you get hit with a fastball sometimes. If you play football, you get tackled over and over again. Marion got bloodied, but never bowed. He died in office ser
Institution, the national center, the only institution in america chartered by congress to disseminate information about the u. S. Constitution on a nonpartisan basis. It is hard to imagine a more exciting milestone in the fulfillment of that Inspiring Mission than the one we celebrate tonight. 1789,ars ago, october George Washington sent to the states 13 copies of the bill of rights and one to the federal government. 12 of those copies survived.

Successful. The Vice President was there and said nothing. Reporter today dozens of students marched to the University President s office to meet facetoface. The president s staff said he wasnt available but he did release a statement saying, in part, although i know some have been frustrated with the perceived lack of action since the incident occurred we owe it to everyone to thoughtfully, thoroughly, and factually determine what occurred before taking action. The comment comes a year after he admitted to failing to recognize and intervene in the abuse of a freshman who was a victim of hate crimes on campus. Students say they will continue to rally until the board member is removed and an apology from the administration is given. Theres a lot of diversity here. For someone to go ahead and say that about one specific race . Thats very shocking to me. Reporter the university isnt releasing the name of the board member who allegedly made these comments. Theyre also not giving a timeline
