and in the circuit court of appeals, and even the supreme court of the united states. subject to some exceptions. as many of you may recall, the committee on the judiciary considered legislation substantially identical to hr hr917, and although i voted in favor of this prior legislation, i still have nevertheless several concerns, and most importantly, i want the proponents of hr917 to address the judicial conference's observation that this measure could potentially impair the fundamental right of a citizen to a fair and impartial trial... a. >> in addition, experience teaches that there are numerous situations in which it might cause actual unfairness. so subtle as to do this by the accused or controlled by the judge. and accordingly we would like hr 9172 explained how this ensures a fair trial. then we should also talk about how the bill protects privacy of participants in proceedings. clearly we must be cognizant that electronic media coverage presents the prospect of public disclosure of personal information that may have a material effect on the individual's willi

circuit. and the issue presented to the court is whether the cow ban asset control regulations bars the cuban trademark owner from opposing and cancelling trademarks in the united states patent and trademark office. and what the petition for cert says is there a circuit split on this question. the federal circuit ruled this summer that the carc does not prohibit a party from opposing or canceling registrations in the trademark office. and according to the cert, the second circuit ruled quite the opposite. what's interesting about this circuit split is that it's a circuit split in the same case, right? this is the same case that has been appealed to two different circuits. so this is a case to watch obviously. if the supreme court does not grant cert, this case will go back to the trademark office and it looks i would say very favorable for the cuban party in this case given the prior rulings and given what the federal circuit has said. the last time the party was in this position of having some positive outlook, that was exactly when we got section 211 passed. so, you know, this is again a case to watch including whether there will be any legislative action. havana cl

circuit court of appeals and tell us what you hope will happen. >> the little sister's case is just this. the laws and constitutions of the united statesdo not permit the federal government to force a catholic nun to violate the church's teaching just to go on caring for the sick and poor. that's what the federal government wants. they are requesting them to provide drugs and devices that contradict catholic church teaching or authorize their insurance company to provide it on behalf of the little sisters. neither of those things can they do in keeping with their faith and neither are consistent with the laws and constitution of the country and for me, neither are necessary. expanding access to the affordable contrait acception is a worthy goal. and the government doesn't need to force the little sisters to violate their faith to accomplish that goal. >> it is very clear, if the little sisters lose, we all lose. now we have the government telling us, it is okay to believe as long as it is in the context of the limits of what the government said is enough. best wishes and delighted to have you back. >> thank you for having me. >> well,

united states. subpoenas under the long line of cases to you with bank of nova scotia in the 11th circuit say no, thisis a compelled disclosure. it is perfectly proper and constitutional. i do think there is a constitutional question, but it's not that subpoenas violate the constitution because they don't require a board and probable cause. they comply. there are different standards and different circumstances, and in the context of a compelled disclosure which is supervised by the court which is a recipient of the legal process and has a chance to object which do not involve the coercive interaction between the police and homeowner or whatever it might be. in that situation it's just a different fourth amendment moment and they can be perfectly reasonable to use in forms of compelled process in order to have the disclosure of the information, where if you don't have those things where it is compelled, forcible action by police, that's a different fourth amendment moment and it requires a warrant. .. so how is it any more privacy protected to do it one way versus the other which ascend to say the proc
