“Over the past few years, the Supreme Court was six times more likely to accept cases from an elite group of 66 lawyers than it was from more than 99 percent of those who petitioned the court. That's the finding of a recent Reuters special report called "The Echo Chamber." It illustrates how almost half the appeals accepted by the court over a nine-year period came from this cadre of elite lawyers--many of whom have personal connections to the nine justices.” YearsPastJusticeHalfAcceptingCasesGroupsSpecialPeriodsSixFindingsPercentConnectionsCourtLawyerAcceptedSupremeNineAppealsReportsElitesEchoesSupreme CourtChamberOver The PastNine YearsPersonal ConnectionCadre Author:Dahlia Lithwick
“Everybody knows that really intimate conversation is only possible between two or three. As soon as there are six or seven, collective language begins to dominate. That is why it is a complete misinterpretation to apply to the Church the words 'Wheresoever two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' Christ did not say two hundred, or fifty, or ten. He said two or three.” KnowsSaidTwoTogetherThreeNamesLanguageChristChurchGroupsTenConversationSixHundredSevenIntimateFiftyCollectivesMidstMisinterpretationIntimate Conversation Book:Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals) Source: Waiting on God (Routledge Revivals)

“...The British press... [claimed that Tony] Blair was simply Bush's poodle - a favorite phrase, bewilderingly popular, although it made no sense - and that he was ignoring the will of the British people. Considering the hacks had spent Blair's first six years in office condemning him for relying on focus groups and opinion polls for his policies - in other words, paying attention to nothing but the will of the people, or at least their whims - that seemed a little rich to me, but as I said, logical consistency has never figured highly in the British media's scale of values.” PeopleYearsFirstsLittlesMadeSaidValuesAttentionOpinionRichFocusGroupsMediaPolicyOfficeSixPressesBritishScalesPay AttentionJournalistPhrasesLogicalConsideringConsistencyPollsWhimHacksBlairCondemningPoodlesOpinion PollsFocus Groups Author:Larry King
