I Think Judicial Temperament Is A Willingness

I'm Not Sure That It's Right To View This As Excluding A Particular Group. When The Institution Of Marriage Developed Historically, People Didn't Get Around And Say, 'let's Have This Institution, But Let's Keep Out Homosexuals.' The Institution Developed To Serve Purposes That, By Their Nature, Didn't Include Homosexual Couples.

You Don't Doubt That The Lobby Supporting The Enactment Of Same Sex-marriage Laws In Different States Is Politically Powerful, Do You?... As Far As I Can Tell, Political Figures Are Falling Over Themselves To Endorse Your Side Of The Case.

I Think Judicial Temperament Is A Willingness To Step Back From Your Own Committed Views Of The Correct Jurisprudential Approach And Evaluate Those Views In Terms Of Your Role As A Judge. It's The Difference Between Being A Judge And Being A Law Professor.

When A Liver Becomes Cirrhotic, Those Are The Common Complications. We See That The Patients Have Bleeding From Their Stomach And Intestines. They Have Abdomens That Become Full Of Fluid. Their Ankles Swell With The Same Type Of Fluid, And They Also Can Become Confused And Not Themselves. Those Are Kind Of The Main Things That We See When People Get End-stage Liver Disease And Have Cirrhosis.

There Are Many Different Causes Of The Scarring. Viruses Are Common. Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, What We Call Autoimmune Diseases Where The Body Attacks The Liver Itself Such As Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Is An Autoimmune Disease; Sclerosing Cholangitis Is An Autoimmune Disease; And So Those Diseases Where The Liver Is Being Destroyed By Either The Virus Or An Autoimmune Disease, It Can Only Scar, And Why It Doesn't Regenerate Has To Do With The Fact That There Is This Ongoing Scar Tissue That Blocks That Regeneration.
