ambassador pickering it's a great honor to have you on the show thank you oxana well i don't know if you would agree with me but i think this year's russian clash over syria comes down not only to a difference of opinions or a difference of agendas but this significant expanded difference of diplomatic styles and the perception here in moscow is that. the united states sees russia as uncooperative simply because russia wouldn't submit to the ten american position but diplomacy or negotiations and as i'm sure you would know. is not about take it or leave it it's about give and take so my question to you is rather american diplomacy at this point of time is killed a quip and open to a dialogue a dialogue when it will treat russia any other country as equal i think oxana i would say in principle style plays a role but not the predominant role the predominant role is played by the positions of governments taken in their capitals often in response to domestic policy imperatives as well as foreign policy interests and to some extent helps to determine the differences in their approach i th

pickering is very different. justice kagan: so you're saying that when a union collectively bargains, it's a matter of public concern but that if employees in their workplace, 10 or 20 of them, get together without the formal collective bargaining that a union does, that that's not a matter of public concern? general francisco: very much so, your honor, because when an individual employee is negotiating with his employer over his particular wage, that's a negotiation that's taking place between the employee and the employer. in the public sector collective bargaining context, it's taking place between a private third-party organization, a union, and the government in order to set the overall size, scope, and structure of government. justice kagan: well, that union is a representative of the employees and has been chosen to represent the employees so that the employees can better wield their power -- general francisco: right. and -- justice kagan: over terms and conditions of employment. so why should it matter --

why would pickering apply? we've never applied pickering to just a straight up free exercise claim. mr. katskee: no, but the court has made clear that is the mode of analysis for all first amendment claims. it has done it not just with free speech clause, but also with the petition clause by way of example. and to draw a different line would yield bizarre, impossible results. let me give a couple of examples of what that mean. suppose that an assistant district attorney objects to the da's request for the death penalty in a case, and so writes a letter to the editor complaining and calling the district attorney out for that. now, on mr. kennedy's test that would be a classic pickering example if it is a political view or a social view, it would be subject to strict scrutiny if the motivation for that same letter is religious. >> suppose that everything about this case is exactly the same as it was in reality, with this one difference. when coach kennedy went out to the center of the field on these two occasions, all he did was to waive a ukrainian flag. would you have fired him? mr.

big plastic creators like coca—cola owe those informal waste pickers a great deal. in return, the companies need to ensure waste pickers can earn enough to provide for theirfamilies. coke have their own recycling plant in kampala. it can process 250 million bottles each year. but coke told us that for the past three years, it has not run at capacity because they couldn't collect enough bottles. the questions for coca—cola on collection are, will they stump up the investment to make collection systems work, and how are they going to treat the waste pickers collecting that plastic? coca—cola say they're working to help waste pickers, who are often some of the most vulnerable people, and have developed tools to help understand their economic conditions. they say their goal to collect and recycle a bottle for every one they sell by 2030 is ambitious. coke's third and final pledge is to include 50% recycled plastic in their bottles as a global average. that means using much less so—called virgin plastic made directly from fossil fuels. let's look at the third commitment.

timothy pickering was just an unpleasant man. washington had been forced to a point because he could not find anyone to replace henry knox at the war department. a thankless task. a place with a lot of threatening wars and no army. so, the pickering appointment was one that was born out of a compulsion. washington did not regard these men as close intimates and he really consulted them. they did not meet very often. these were two new englanders and arch federalist, which was strange because of washington's desire to geographically balance the government during his first term. but the arch federalists attitudes were to be the most telling every thing that happened to edmund randolph afterward. jeanne: in the overwrought atmosphere of discussions surrounding the controversy over jay's treaty, timothy pickering and oliver wolcott determined to prove that edmund randolph was a traitor. they did so with high conviction and seemingly damning evidence that once it was shown to george washington convinced him that, yes, edmund randolph

impeachment is an extreme example pickering was a drunk and probably insane from syphilis but at the same time it shows that if left to their own devices and left unchecked by congress federal judges have the power to do some wild and crazy things and that's what makes the ongoing battle between president obama and senate republicans over appointments so important even though harry reid bit the bullet and pushed through filibuster reform last year the senate has confirmed only one let me repeat one judge in the first few months of two thousand and fourteen thanks to republican ix. obstruction thirty two nominees are still waiting for approval for a total of ninety six vacancies on the federal court stakes couldn't be higher activist conservative judges have wreaked havoc on our republic and our commons over the past half century they've gotten campaign finance laws empowered corporations and cut the legs out from under the voting rights act if president obama doesn't get his nominees confirmed it will be that much easier for conservative judges to continue their assault on our democr
