read where you could read the statute one of two ways and they did not disturb the epa's read. so far so good, but over time this has taken a turn, i think, for the worse where agencies go and they will have -- it would involuntary he can this idea of an ambiguous statute and courts will buy into it and then completely defer to have the agency reads the law. it's really the court's job to say what the law is. second doctrine is commonly called auer, it's a case auer versus robbins from 1997, this was invoking a seminole rock. this is a doctrine where courts will defer to an agency's interpretation of its own regulations. this seems to fly counter to what most first-year students learn in contracts class, the notion that any ambiguity is con strewn against the drafter of the document unless you are an agency in federal court, then the tie goes to the regulator not the private citizen. this has caused mischief where in the enforcement context agencies can have rather amorphous regs and encourages in a way the writing of amorphous regs knowing you will get deference in court. in t

having a fight father-in-law he blew the whistle on some kind of a dump for materials and he got the epa involved in shutdown this dump. mel told one of the chicago tv stations what is rod doing? if they pay $25,000 for campaign they will do something . that started the process. then the fbi ended up bugging phones. for several weeks new started to break about those tapes. those tapes are what just killed him because he sounded so self-indulgent. he didn't want the job, he wanted to earn money later. he called barack obama's senate seat the opportunity, there is a bad word that starts with f . golden opportunity i'm not going to give away for nothing. even though, as he would argue and his lawyers would argue he never got a dime for any of this . never got the job. people probably donated to his campaign . but not personal money. he still got this 14 years because the judge who is a former director of state police and department of revenue years ago let the hammer down on him . because in addition, after he was indicted and arrested and indicted . he went on this national tour, he went o

and learn at a friend, of course he is absolutely right that it is on the ist of february that the epapan came into force. prior to that we had been trading with japan on wto organisations. in relation to the trade deals which have been agreed between the eu and countries around the world, we see continuity in those agreements at the point of which we leave the eu. we've also been working to see continuity where we to leave with no deal. but we also want to ensure that we can enhance our trade arrangements with a number of countries around the world. and so then build our own trade agreements with those countries. i think that's the best and most sensible approach, to maintain trading relations as they are, as we leave the eu, and then build and enhance those trading relationships with our own independent trade agreements. sometimes i think the prime minister must live in a parallel universe. we have just heard from the prime minister that she wanted this concluded in december. mr speaker, talk about rewriting history. it was the prime minister that denied us the prime minister that de
