think the case that judge reinhardt focused on involving the federal public defender i think was levenson, also addressed that point. >> well, it wasn't the case, unfortunately, but it was an administrative ruling. >> well, i thought the wisdom in that case was superb, your honor. [ laughter ] and the reasoning i think in that, i couldn't do a better job in answering the earlier question than the reasoning set forth in writing in that case. and with respect to the baker case, the supreme court has made it very clear that when the facts are different, and the precise issue is not the same, sexual orientation was not presented in that case, that was strictly a gender case, not a sexual orientation case. the facts here are different, not just the roemer situation where california has recognized same-sex marriages and then has taken it away, but california has an interesting, crazy quilt system of laws in this state with respect to marriage. you, some people may be married because they're heterosexual and some people may not be married because they wish to marry someone of the same sex. some

that the police inquiry must get to the bottom of these allegations without fear and favre and the levenson inquiry itself? >> until the agree with the right and our role determined, and that think there is all party support of the levinson inquiry which speaks to studies to get on with the work that is conducting in a very reasonable and thorough way, but also proper support for the police inquiry, and that think it is important to make this point. of course there's always debate about what is right were -- right from these figures to do to get stories in the public interest to but it is hard to think of any circumstances in which it is rare for police officers to take money. >> i think you for that answer. under levinson inquiry, can i ask you in the weeks and months ahead to use our none of the ministers do anything to undermine the work? and we will be excepted the education secretary was built just for the inquiry of having a chilling effect on freedom of expression? will the prime minister not disassociate herself from these comments and urge his colleague, whenever the particular is
