our guest is from johns hopkins university and a professor of congress and has worked on capitol hill when legislation is debated, to what degree of complexity is there from your point of view? guest: the legislative process can be complex and it really is sausage making. that is one of the reasons why the american people tend to dislike the congress whenever they see a lot of evidence of the congress in action like that -- like extended debates over health care and other things. they don't like to see the sausage being made that is the way legislature's work. that is the way congress works and state legislators work. that is built into our political dna. host: if you had to take america's pulse, was it specifically when it comes to the senate and have a debate legislation? what do you think americans might of a problem with? guest: they don't like to see party bickering. but only to seek compromise. they just want them to do the right thing. the right thing is not always a nice clear, black and white, either/or issue. sometimes the best way to get an agreement on some matter is to ta

hopkins called applied duty. -- applied duty. to be those who are freckled and different -- applied beauty. the fact that the universe requires diversity. the diversity of individuals and jeans is a strength, a driving force of human life and human civilization. my view is, therefore, again, by reason and not feeling, this argument is over. the last desperate act of the people supporting it has been the decision of the current pope to insist that gay people are simply, as he put it, objectively disordered. he does not explain why or how. he has even gone so far as to say even if gay men are utterly celibate, if they obey the churches teachings entirely, if they never have sex with another man, they still cannot be priests. he has directed it recently in a last gasp of effort to say that we do not care whether a gay man adheres to exactly the same rules as a straight man in the priesthood. he is still some how sick, too sick to serve god. in my view, that particular directive, which i think up until then, there are some things that seem to fall apart, that itself is not an argument. it's an act of bigotry. it is an ac

i believe in what the great catholic poet gerhard hopkins called pied beauty, the beauty of those freckled and different. the fact that the universey. the fact of course as we now know, the diversity of individuals and of genes, is a strength, it is a driving force of human life and human civilization. my view is therefore, again, by reason of by feeling, this argument is over. the last desperate act of the people supporting it has been the decision of the current pope to insist that gay people are simply, as he put it, objectively disordered, unquote. he doesn't quite explain why, or how. he is even going so far as to say, that even if gay men are utterly celibate, if they obey the church's teachings entirely, if they never have sex with another man, they still can not be priests. his directive recently in a last gasp of effort is simply to say, that we don't care whether a gay man at heres to the exactly the same rules as a straight man in the priesthood. he is still somehow sick, too sick to serve god. in my view that particular directive, which, i think up until then there are some arguments that seem to fall apart, that itsel

universities and hospitals can do. but it's important to know that we do contribute incredibly to city already. just john hopkinsn terms of cash and services we provide to the city and city residents every year, it about $300 million, that is things like medical care, free medicare that we give to the residents in the city, baltimore scholarships to city high school graduates, support for the summer jobs programs, support for city and community organizations. we do a lot in the city already. we want to do more, we're concerned that being taxed takes away our ability to do more for the city. >> you said that you're in talks with the city to talk maybe not into the bed tax and doing something else. what would the something else be. >> >> that depends on how the talks go. we are sitting down with the city as a non-profit community not just john hopkins but all the colleges and hospitals to talk about what that may be. it's not really clear how that might turn out. >> and even people who might say that nonprofits contribute a lot but still heed t need to give m. even some would say a bed tax is not the way to do it.
