they say, no, we are for fraternity, for maintaining national honor. honor against honor. this is where franklin returns to his older concept, to his daughter. he's going to say, the order of credit -- of hereditary knights, the idea that you could have this institution. they can exist, they can receive honor and merit, but those men only, not their children, not their grandchildren. four honor is in its nature, a personal thing. the idea that when you think of reputation, that is part of honor. that is a personal thing. franklin does not deny this. he says it has to be harnessed and used for the greater good. that is why we get honored is -- does not descend but ascend. what does he mean? ascending is something higher. he views it as credit to parents, teachers, he also views it as something lost year. the sending of the earth -- de scending of the earth. acsending any turn belief system. he goes on and says, this is actually provable. he is going to say that if you look in the descendents, those who gain the honor, the position of their parents, all they are going to bec

who's recognized as being a man of honor or a woman of honor. the idea being that you are accepted, you're viewed as a certain status, and also it affords you political power in many respects. or at least a say in your wider community. so not to get too much into this sort of gentleman versus, you know -- the idea is if a person behaves well in whatever their station, they are entitled to be viewed as an honorable person. and then this in turn will be recognized. franklin is a bit more open on the birth status than some of the other founders, washington for instance. you can be honorable within your social status. you can be esteemed, but you may not necessarily jump up. franklin is viewing it literally through learning, through behaving properly, through moral choices you make your way in the world. this is what he attributes to his rise. again, like we said in the beginning, all those definitions, honor can be vague. i think by this point he's really referencing something about ethical behavior and about if you serve the greater good, you serv

when i say to the honorable gentlemen i know what i am doing, trying to help the honorable gentlemenut he must help himself. i honorable gentlemen has completed his question. no? a last sentence and it had better be very brief. >> what is the government's analysis of the impact of brexit on a no deal scenario? >> can i say to the right honorable gentlemen, he once again stand up and talks about the scottish economy making reference to scotland, sorry that in his rather lengthy question he did not make any reference to the fact since 2010 a quarter of 1 million more people in scotland are in work as a result of the actions of the government. >> now we hear backbenchers, the backbenchers must be heard. >> the prime minister pointed out in answer to the first question a powerhouse initiative has done a great deal to help the economy in northern areas, coastal communities are in need of further investment and support, we established a project toward private sector which includes expertise of members including a former chancellor and former head of the civil service. good the prime minist

>> my honorable friend is absolutely right.preschools have performed an important function raising education in this country. i'm pleased so many children in good or outstanding schools but i see it in my own constituency where one of the preschools is specifically for children on the autistic spectrum and this is important, service that wasn't available previously, enable that to happen. they are prescribing people and would welcome them. >> services in my constituency moved and we already have a facility. does the prime minister share my concern future bungling will be held by labor government, wells patients will have to travel further to access proper treatment? >> the honorable gentleman raises an important point. i'm not really with particular details and transfer he has referred to but the overall point he makes about people living in wales, getting a less good service from labor government, this is the case as the honorable gentleman said there are people who will travel from wales to england to get services available i

>> my right honorable friend is correct. we are putting that to work to protect the environment for future generations and i'm pleased to say since april, 2015, we planted over 2 million trees, but we have more to do and we will continue to work with landowners and stake holders on this issue, that she is correct it's not just about the look of the countryside. it's also about the role trees play in reducing flood risk-- he also said. >> the prime minister has spoken on mental health. can i think her for that. when she was home secretary she outlawed-- [inaudible] today parts of our mental health system are in crisis. in my constituency children, young people and families are waiting two years for autism assessments. the secretary of state agrees that unacceptable. can i asked the prime minister what she's going to do to turn well-intentioned statements of mental health interaction? >> to the right honorable gentleman he knows we are doing a number of action. ebay's a specific issue of autism diagnosis and the time it takes.

mike, we honor you. we thank you.te you and with hearts full of admiration and pride, we present you with the congressional medal of honor, and now i would like the military aide to come forward and read the citation. thank you very much. thank you. [ applause ] >> the president of the united states of america authorized by act of congress marks 3rd 1863 has awarded in the name of congress the medal of honor to sergeant gary m. rose for gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty sergeant gary m. rose distinguished himself from acts of gallantry anden trip idity as a company medic special operations augmentation, command and control central, 5th special forces group airborne, 1st special forces republic of vietnam. between 11 and 14 september 1970, sergeant rose's company was continuously engaged by a well-armed and numerically superior hostile force deep in enemy-controlled territory. enemy b-40 rockets and mortar rounds rained down while the adversaries sprayed the area with s

>> yes, your honor. they were available, but i think the seventh circuit and perhaps the circuit and the eeoc perhaps did not -- >> they were available to the eeoc. they have been aware of these arguments for years. is that correct? >> we have been aware of these arguments the same way the courts have, your honor. >> as to the deference we owe your position now as opposed to the deference we owed your position then, what is the import of the change and what would you say about what deference we do owe to your interpretation of the statute? >> we are entitled to deference based on the persuasive value of our arguments, but in assessing the persuasive value, it is important to keep in mind the eeoc's position in the broader administrative framework. >> how is that different from deferring to your argument today? it is a question of the strength of the argument, not the fact that you are the eeoc. >> right, it is a reflection of the strength of the argument, but also a reflection of the interpretation, the

so -- >> yes, your honor. it is hard to conceive of a statute of limitations situation that would not require the defendant to contradict the admission, that he makes in pleading guilty. we think those would likely be in the line of cases that are effectively foreclosed by the plea of guilty. >> what about the unconstitutional composition of a grand jury? >> that is exactly the case. when the court held that it was in fact foreclosed by the guilty plea. that category of rights on the category of procedural and evidentiary attention that a defendant would otherwise be entitled to if he went to trial. but in fact, our foreclose was the defendant pleads guilty. and this category is an entirely epic category. whether the defendant is saying, regardless of the procedures used, regardless of the evidence, i cannot be validly convicted of this crime. >> what about -- >> your definition is what this dr. would hold your saying if, if the constitutional violation is not clear on the face of the admission? >> yes that is

>> no, your honor. it's a slight variation on that. the board's position is individuals can agree to arbitrate individually, so long as there is a forum in which they can proceed collectively. >> -- it doesn't have to be arbitration. it could be judicial. >> okay right. but if they agree to act -- the agreement requires that they act individually, although to arbitrate, but there is a collective arbitral forum, that that's all right? in other words, just -- they have to arbitrate, whether they do it individually or collectively, you cannot restrict that? >> the board's position is that as this court has said on multiple occasions, that the arbitral forum is the equivalent of the judicial forum for effectively vindicating statutory rights. so there are four people who are seeking to get paid in the murphy oil case. for work that they did. if the forum is available to them to proceed jointly. >> right. >> and the employer agrees to have it done in arbitration, that's fine from the board's standpoint. >> o

>> yes, your honor. that law is essentially unchallenged here and the board's law is that if an takes action to initiate, to induce, or to group action, that activity aserted understood under section 7 and the board specifically held in we've briefed this in our brief that a class the notion ofthin initiating, inducing, preparing for. lewis case involved an individual who filed the was joinedn and immediately by a number of other plaintiffs and each of these cases involves concerted activity. isn't a question of concert here because there were four people involved in filing the murphy oil action. there were two involved in morris and, as i said, lewis was that act.others in >> counselor, do you have any contractsw many union provide exclusively for arbitration of disputes, and collective? ubiquitousfairly term in union collective bargaining agreements. >> and so is this the unusual hasn'there the union negotiated that kind of contract? >> well, this involves employees. there's no union present in those c

your honor. in term os they have terms and conditions aplied to each sex, v.s court held in the tabora mercantile exchange act, the idea of a manhart test didn't apply to a hair length restriction. the court held in that case, where something relatively trivial at shmb, it didn't need to be apply. but with respect to -- >> the question is can the but-for test be the meaning of title vii interpretation of the language because of an individual's sex. >> the but-for test is one useful path. it may not cover every fact pattern. in the tabora case, for example, there was that hair length restriction, the court held because it was relatively trivial, the difference in treatment didn't go to something fundamental about terms and conditions but one could imagine a case in which it really would, in the standards that one sex is held to are very different than those another sex is held to. >> your adversaries say the civil rights acts amendments of 1991 should be understood as ratifying the proposition tha

and all of your honors. i forgot to introduce steve berg steen, my cocounsel, who worked with me on this case. we're proud to represent melissa zarda and bill moore, the executors of the zarda estate and we ask the court to construe and unite title vii with life as we live it and under the plain language and its interpretations. we ask that you find that sexual orientation discrimination is sex discrimination under title vii. don zarda was a male. he was known as guy, though he was not traditionally feminine, but he was a great sky diver. when a customer complained that he identified himself as gay, he was fired and for that revelation, it was a violation of the statute because his sex, a male who was attracted to other men was a motivating factor in the adverse action. and in this case he identified as gay only because he was accused of being straight. and he was proud of being gay, and in the male workplace of the skydiving community, jokes were often made that loose end the tension of the experience and j

i know of a few medal of honor recipients. one from the second world war, a couple from the vietnam war. they're amazing people to be around. so full of stories when they recount them to you, you hang on their every word. they're normal every day americans who at one moment in life rose up to be here r -- heros, saving their comrades. to honor such people in such an apolitical fashion as happens here in the united states really is a testament to their current, their bravery, the fact that they would keep running back in under a hail of fire or whatever danger might have faced them to save their comrades really is an extraordinary thing and we can all be proud of them. only wish that we could show such courage under fire. so our collective hats are off. >> absolutely. katherine rose seems to have in common one thing with all of them that i've ever witnessed. that is just astounded that everyone is making a big deal out of him or her. he's the only one but he is. >> that's the way they always talk, shep. when you talk to a congr

>> i think that's generally the line, your honor. i would express that also what a defendant might at trial also raise emotion to dismiss their indictment on constitutional grounds and lose that motion and then try to renew that motion on appeal and is essentially what defendant here also is doing. just like the defendant in menna and the court's decision in hanes moved to dismiss his indictment on constitutional grounds, lost that motion and pled guilty is now trying to renew his constitutional challenge on appeal. >> i don't under your answer to that. a trial, a conviction after trial permits -- if a defendant's conviction -- if a defendant is convicted after a trial a defendant can raise on appeal any issue that was preserved. >> that's right, your honor. i took justice kagan's question to be is this about the sort of procedural and evidentiary rule you would have to overcan come at trial a motion to suppress, a contention that your confession was coerced and would be decided at trial when the received coming in against you, those

[applause] we are honored to be in their presence.his afternoon i want to take a few moments to share the incredible story of mike's heroic deeds. raised in watertown, new york, mike's father was a metal worker and a world war ii veteran. he taught his son that we live in the greatest country in the world and that we must love it, cherish it and always defend it. mike took that very much to heart. after his first year in college he enlisted in the army and by the time he was 22 mike was a medic for the fifth special forces group in the vietnam war. on september 11, 1970, mike was called on his second combat mission. he was the only medic for 136 men who embarked on one of the group's biggest missions of the war, operation tailwind. their goal was to prevent the north vietnamese from funneling weapons along the ho chi minh trail to use against our american troops. helicopters dropped the unit into laos. before they even touched the ground, enemy fire struck three men. once they landed in the clearing, they rushed to the jungle for much

is going to be honored. he is a, a medic who apparently after being wounded continued to provide medical care and attention to others. in fact, he is said to have used his body as a human shield to shield others who had been involved in the attack. so that is what we are watching right now. we're going to be seeing this medal of honor recipient just moments from now. he seems to be in the room, because there are pictures being taken. this is army captain gary m. rose of huntsville, alabama. he was born in upstate new york, by the way, in watertown, new york, by the canadian border. he's, he was 20-year veteran of the army, the second person to be awarded the medal of honor by president trump. this is -- the james mccloughan of south haven, michigan, was honored in july, you remember, for his actions to save wounded soldiers in a vietnam kill zone as well. so we are now listening for the president and this should be the president of the united states coming in for the medal of honor ceremony right now. >> ann

with honor, comes obligation. he retired from the navy in 1981 and won a seat in congress the following year. >> he couldn't serve in the military anymore so he went to politics. a member of the house and senate, he has been a champion of veterans. >> someone who always had the backs of the men and women of the u.s. military, no matter what. >> when president bill clinton called for normalizing relations with vietnam, mccain became a leader in the charge. >> one of the two key people, john kerry was the other one. >> he's made 22 trips to vietnam. >> we have to chase down every lead with respect to the potential that in america was still being held. >> and there is something really striking about a man who spent five and half years in a prisoner of war camp, going back. >> we visited the hanoi hilton and i will never forget ever the emotion of being shown the cell in which he spent a fair amount of time. >> he now is someone who's also viewed by the vietnamese as their best advocate in washington. >> family and co

so i can ensure the right honorable gentleman that progress was indeed made. now the labor party talk about need to move ahead in the negotiations. well f they think it's so important to move ahead in the negotiations why did labor meps vote against moving ahead in the negotiations? and he talks about -- he talked about the withdrawal bill as if this was something that labor were very eager to see before this house. if they are so eager about this bill, why did they vote against it at second reading? and in doing so, vote against bringing workers' rights and environmental standards into uk. and finally, he talks -- he spent a long time in his response talking about no deal. well, i can only assume that the labor party wants to talk about no zeal because they simply don't know what sort of deal they would want. they can't -- they can't decide -- they can't decide whether they want to be in the single market or not. they can't decide whether they want to be in the customs union or not. they can't decide whether they want a second referendum or not. they can't de

it is an honor to be here today. i want to start by thanking director john gray and secretary skorton for the wonderful introduction. the staff here at the smithsonian has been a true pleasure to work with. thank you for everything that you do to preserve part of our nation's history. as historians and curators, you have such an important role on behalf of our country. while i may be the one on stage, i want to take a moment to introduce you to the person behind my gorgeous couture piece, the designer, herve pierre. thank you, herve. please stand up. [applause] mrs. trump: thank you, herve, for all that you did to create such a wonderful piece. you are a true artist and a real professional. as most of you know, before being elected president, my husband was never in politics. so you can imagine after he won, we were very busy with all that goes into preparing for a new administration, and all of the changes that we, as a family, would be facing. to be honest, what i would wear to the inaugural ball was the last thing

the man we honor tonight possesses such will. the man we honored tonight exemplifies our society's highest ideals with the deepest imaginable reserve of courage and conviction. life toevoted his securing and expanding liberty for people everywhere. we award the liberty medal tonight to a leader who, by virtue of both his ideals and his actions, not only crosses party lines and national borders, he transcends them. he is a man who has focused his life not on the tears that thunder, but on the ties that bind. he is an exemplary american, who routinely forgoes what is expedient to pursue what is just and what is right. our recipient shares with those who have come before him a lifelong devotion to the ultimate and noblest of human pursuits. liberty. the national constitution center was built to strengthen our pursuit of that purpose of liberty. tonight, we are so proud to continue that work by celebrating a national leader of immense distinction. he is a month our longest serving statesman in the u.s. senate. he is a congressman bef

this bill honors the service of agent vega. he made the ultimate sacrifice for his family and his country. today, the house will name the border patrol checkpoint where he and his service dog goldie served after him. every day the men and women of the united states border patrol put on their uniforms and put their lives on the line to protect america's borders. and tragically as we see in the case of agent vega, even when spending time with family they may be called to serve. on sunday, president trump unveiled immigration and enforcement policies that will ensure other families do not have to face the devastating loss of a loved one at the hands of an illegal immigrant. i hope congress can work together to make those proposals a reality. i believe it is more than fitting to name this checkpoint after agent javier vega jr. i urge my colleagues to support this bill, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from the district of columbia, ms. norton

it is an honor to be here today. i want start by thanking director john gray and secretary david -- for the wonderful introduction. thank you for everything you do to preserve parts of our nation's history. you have such an important role on behalf of our country. one may be the one on stage -- i want to take a moment to introduce you to the person behind my gorgeous cotouture piece. [ applause ] thank you for all that you did to create such a wonderful piece. you're a true artist and a real professional. as most of you know before being elected president my husband was never in politics. so you could imagine that after he won we were very busy with all the goals in preparing for a new administration and all the changes that we as a family would be facing. to be honest what i would wear to the inaugural ball was the last thing on my mind. in fact, by the time i got around to thinking about my wardrobe choice, poor jerve was only given two weeks to produce and design this couture piece. we had never worked together be

>> no, your honor. if there was probable cause the negligence supervision would fail. that was indisputed. >> we'll let your adversary answer that. >> my clients responded to illegal activity in a house in the community. that was supposed to be vacant. they found the group of late night partiers none of whom claimed any right over the home. the homeowner. >> i'm sorry. why isn't there a right? someone invites me into what they claim is their home or their place of living. isn't that an invitation? >> yes. there was a claim of invitation. i was referring to the absence of claim of property right over the home. yes. >> i don't have a property right when i get invited swo into a home? i don't look at the lease. i don't ask to fsh for them to establish to my satisfaction or anyone else their right to be there. i assume if they're there i, they can invite me in. >> we're not suggesting that there has to be a confirmation. by any party guest of the inviters right to invite. what we're saying is from the offic

smith: yes, your honor. i would say that at the remedy stage, if they -- if they come back with a remedy map that matches the sort of neutral geography, even if it's somewhat favorable to the -- the party that's in charge, that should be okay. they don't have to go to zero just to -- at the remedy stage, but they have to come up with something much less extreme than their intentional gerrymandering, one that basically makes democracy no longer function because, basically, gerrymanders now are not your father's gerrymander. these are going to be really serious incursions on democracy if this court doesn't do something. and this is really the last opportunity before we see this huge festival of new extreme gerrymanders all done along the model of wisconsin but probably even more serious. i -- i would commend the political scientists' brief, which talk about the revolution in data analytics that has happened since this map was drawn. you're going to see people coming in and -- and slicing and dicing a very pola

>> my honorable friend raises an important issue. since my right honorable friend the secretary of state the commission's work on this in september last year i can confirm we will publish our response to the consultation tuesday the 31st, of october. with a wide range of issues we need to ensure the funding model is right. we need to look at issues such as significant increase in service charges that had taken place recently making sure we are looking at cost control and i also say today as part of our response of review we will-- [inaudible] we will not be amending it in the wider social sector. >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker, mr. speaker, join the prime minister in wishing the rugby team league get the best. i hope they win at. last week the house voted by 299 to zero to cause the rollout of universal credit. with the prime minister respect the will of the house? >> as i said before we acknowledge the fact there are concerns of universal credit. we have been listening to those and it changes have been made, but perhaps i could update

>> yes, your honor. that's incorrect for several reasons. first the pension benefit guarantee court case holds. legislative inaction is a very poor means of determining congressional intent. particularly in this case, it's a poor grounds for a number of reasons, including that you don't know what the grounds for amending the statute or not amending the statute might be. it might be the sentence is already included. it might be they think it doesn't go far enough. there might be something else about the bill. >> isn't there a difference between legislative inaction and legislative reenactment of the statute with the whole set of amendments, in the face of a broad consensus of traditional opinion as to what the statute means? >> i would disagree with the broad consensus. at the time that, 1991 when congress was taking up the issue of amending the civil rights act, there were only a few circuit court cases, night had looked into the decision, none had looked into issue with any sort of rigor. congress a gen
