This essay briefly explains the history of important Supreme Court decisions on religious liberty in the schools before Hosanna-Tabor (2012). Many of these cases restricted the religious liberty of schools and students. This essay then explains the Supreme Court's decision in Hosanna-Tabor (2012), an important case protecting the religious liberty of schools and students. This essay concludes by briefly surveying five legal strategies, with case authorities, for protecting religious liberty under the First Amendment.
The First Amendment protects religious liberty: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The first clause is known as the Establishment Clause. The second clause is known as the Free Exercise Clause.
Freedoms cannot defend themselves, and Constitutional guarantees of religious liberty are not self-enforcing. Beginning in 1962, people and organizations opposing religious liberty have filed law suits seeking to purge religious content from all schools in the United States.
These people and organizations enjoyed significant early victories in restricting religious liberty. School prayer was attacked in Engel v. Vitale (1962). Engel outlawed school prayer in public schools. Engel involved compulsory recitation of the following prayer: "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country." Justice Hugo Black, in a 6-1 decision, held that the prayer violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, made applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. The prayer was a religious activity composed by government officials as part of a governmental program to further religious beliefs.
Abington School District v. Schempp (1963) and its companion case, Murray v. Curlett (1963), outlawed prayer in Pennsylvania and Baltimore public schools. Bible verses were read, without comment, followed by recitation of the Lord's Prayer. Students were excused upon parental request.
Schempp established the following test. If either the purpose or the primary effect of the government action advances religion, then the action is unconstitutional. The purpose of any government action must be secular. The primary effect of any government action must neither advance nor inhibit religion.
Wallace v. Jaffree (1985) outlawed moments of silence in public schools. Wallace involved an Alabama law authorizing one minute of silence "for meditation or voluntary prayer." Justice John Paul Stevens, in a 6-3 decision, found the statute violative of the Establishment Clause. The purpose of the statute was to endorse religion. The statute was not motivated by any clearly secular purpose.
Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971) outlawed state aid to parochial schools. Pennsylvania reimbursed parochial schools for teacher salaries and materials incurred in teaching secular subjects. Rhode Island supplemented the salaries of such teachers.
The Pennsylvania statute prohibited payment for any course containing "any subject matter expressing religious teaching, or the morals or forms of worship of any sect." Nevertheless, Chief Justice Warren Burger, in a 7-1 decision, held that such aid violated the Establishment Clause.
Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (2012) holds that Americans are free to choose their ministers and religious teachers without regard to federal discrimination laws. Churches have the sole authority to select and control those who minister to the faithful.
Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School classified its teachers into two categories, "called" and "lay." "Called" teachers are called to their vocation by God, commissioned as ministers, and performed duties combining teaching and ministering. "Lay" teachers, on the other hand, are not even required to be Lutheran.
The teacher sued for reinstatement under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). The ADA prohibits discrimination by employers based on disability. It also prohibits retaliation against individuals for opposing acts prohibited by the ADA. The school claimed a First Amendment "ministerial exception" to government regulation of its ministers.
The First Amendment provides, in part, that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Familiar with life under the established Church of England, the founding generation sought to foreclose the possibility of a national church. By forbidding the "establishment of religion" and guaranteeing the "free exercise thereof," the Religion Clauses insured that the federal government, unlike the English crown, would have no role in filling ecclesiastical offices.
The Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses bar employment discrimination suits by ministers against their churches. Churches are free to shape their faith and mission under the Free Exercise Clause by selecting their own ministers and religious teachers. The Establishment Clause prohibits any government involvement in their selection.
The first strategy is that government may not hamper freedom of religion and expression when their exercise is harmless to others and to the state. West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943) involved a West Virginia statute that required every student, on pain of expulsion, to salute the flag and recite the pledge of allegiance. The Barnette plaintiffs were Jehovah's Witnesses who considered the salutes a form of idolatry prohibited by Exodus 20:3-5. The issue in Barnette was whether compulsory flag salutes violate the freedom of religious belief under the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Barnette Court found they do. The state may "require teaching by instruction and study of all in our history and in the structure and organization of our government, including the guarantees of civil liberty, which tend to inspire patriotism and love of country." Compulsory flag salutes and pledges, however, go beyond instruction and study. They compel students to declare a belief.
"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion, or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein." Constitutional rights may be denied only in the presence of grave and immediate danger to interests that the state may lawfully protect. Freedom of religion and expression may not be hampered when their exercise are harmless to others and to the state.
The second strategy is that government may not substantially burden the free exercise of religion by individuals or their businesses. Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. (2014) evaluates the federal government's power to coerce business owners to violate their religious beliefs. Hobby Lobby is a closely held for-profit corporation whose owners hold sincere Christian beliefs that life begins at conception. "Obamacare" regulations required Hobby Lobby to provide coverage for four forms of contraception that destroy fertilized human eggs. Hobby Lobby refused to comply. The federal government imposed a $475 million annual fine to coerce compliance contrary to the owners' religious beliefs.
Obamacare regulations required Hobby Lobby to provide coverage for twenty methods of contraception. Hobby Lobby objected to four methods that kill fertilized eggs by preventing their attachment to the uterus. The controlling issue in the case was whether Hobby Lobby, a closely held "for profit" corporation, was a protected "person" under the under Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Justice Samuel Alito, in a 5-4 opinion, held that Hobby Lobby was a protected "person" under the Act. Justice Alito relied on the Dictionary Act, 1 U.S.C. § 1, that provides: "In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, unless the context indicates otherwise, the words 'person' and 'whoever' include corporations, companies, associations, firms, partnerships, societies, and joint stock companies, as well as individuals." [Emphasis added]. Hobby Lobby, as a corporation, was clearly a "person" under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The third strategy is that government may not discriminate against religious speech and activities. The Freedom of Speech Clause of the First Amendment prohibits government from engaging in "viewpoint discrimination" against religious activities. Government must afford religious activities the same opportunities it affords secular activities. Two cases establish this principle.
The first case, Lamb's Chapel v. Center Moriches Union Free School District (1993), involves a New York school board. State law permitted after-hours use of school property. The board permitted use of school property for social, civic, and recreational purposes, (Rule 10), but prohibited use for religious purposes (Rule 7).
A Christian church made two requests to use school facilities for a film series by Dr. James Dobson on child rearing. The board denied both requests as "church-related." Lamb's Chapel considered whether the school board could discriminate against religious speech.
Justice Byron White, in a 9-0 decision, answered that government could not discriminate against religious speech. The facilities were not denied because of the subject, child rearing, but because of the religious viewpoint. Such "viewpoint discrimination" cannot withstand strict scrutiny under the First Amendment.
The second case, Good News Club v. Milford Central School (2001), involved the same New York law. Milford Central School enacted a policy permitting the use of its building by district residents for instruction in education, learning, and the arts. It also permitted use for social, civic, recreational, and entertainment purposes.
The Good News Club, a Christian children's club, was denied use of the building because school policy prohibited religious worship. Club activities included songs, Bible lessons, scripture memorization, and prayer. Justice Clarence Thomas, in a 6-3 decision, found the school's denial violated the First Amendment's Freedom of Speech Clause. Furthermore, the Establishment Clause did not require the school to exclude the club.
Thomas wrote that Milford Central School operated a limited public forum. The state may restrict speech in such a forum, but its power to restrict speech is subject to two limits. First, the restriction must be reasonable in light of the forum's purpose. Second, under Lamb's Chapel, the restriction must not involve "viewpoint discrimination." Speech cannot be excluded because of its religious nature.
The school's act demonstrated an impermissible state "hostility" to religion. This case was not akin to cases where students felt compelled to act within the classroom setting. The club's instructors were not teachers, the meetings were after-hours, and parental permission was required for attendance.
The fourth strategy is that Americans are free to honor our religious traditions in public. Two recent cases establish this principle. Van Orden v. Perry (2005) involved a monument honoring the Ten Commandments. Town of Greece, New York v. Galloway (2014) involved public prayer in government meetings.
Van Orden v. Perry (2005) involved a monument containing the Ten Commandments on the Texas capitol grounds. Van Orden, a suspended attorney, sued to force the monument's removal under the Establishment Clause. Justice Rehnquist, in a 5-4 decision, ruled the monument did not violate the Establishment Clause.
Rehnquist began by holding that Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971), which prohibits "excessive government entanglement with religion," is inapplicable to a passive monument. Instead, the analysis should be driven by the monument's nature and the nation's history. The Ten Commandments are clearly religious, but they also have an undeniable historical meaning. Rehnquist noted numerous depictions of Moses and the Ten Commandments on federal buildings and monuments in Washington. The Texas monument did not violate the Establishment Clause simply because it contained religious content or promoted a message consistent with religious doctrine.
Justice Anthony Kennedy upheld the town's prayers in a 5-4 decision. The Establishment Clause must be interpreted "by reference to historical practices and understandings." The governing issue is whether the prayers fit within the tradition followed by Congress and state legislatures. This tradition was approved in Marsh v. Chambers (1983), which upheld Nebraska's employment of a legislative chaplain. The Court found that the Town of Greece's prayers fit within this tradition. The plaintiffs' requested prayers to a "generic God," on the other hand, did not.
Plaintiffs also complained that the prayers violated the Establishment Clause because they coerced citizens to engage in religious observance. This coercion offended plaintiffs, making them feel excluded and disrespected. The Court found no legal coercion. The board did not direct the public to participate in the prayers, single out dissidents for opprobrium, or indicate its decisions might be influenced by a person's acquiescence to the prayer. Justices Thomas and Scalia contrasted the prayers in this case to the coercive state religious establishments that existed at the founding. Those establishments exercised government power in order to exact financial support of the church, compel religious observance, or control religious doctrine.
The fifth strategy is that Americans are free to choose their ministers and religious teachers without government interference. Churches have the sole authority to select and control those who minister to the faithful. Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (2012), discussed above, holds that Americans are free to choose their ministers and religious teachers without regard to federal discrimination laws.

Manufacturing Technology Inc. is headquartered in South Bend. It was founded in 1976 by Conrad Adams to provide welding services and products. MTI designs, manufactures, installs, and services all friction welding and resistance welding machines. MTI is the only company in the world able to offer all friction welding capabilities such as linear, direct drive, inertia, radial, stir, and resistance welding.
Felipe Pinzon is working with MTI developing the commercialization plan of a temperature control algorithm for a friction stir welding machine. Current algorithms use spindle speed, torque, or different parameters to control the machine and those parameters can generate current peaks and time delays.
With this innovative control algorithm, using temperature as the main reference, those issues are addressed improving the weld mechanical properties. Felipe is validating the advantages of the temperature control algorithm and whether there is an opportunity to penetrate the market. He will be studying how the project can make an impact in the industry by using various market research, interviewing potential customers, and making a financial model to determine its feasibility.

In our fast paced society people want to know how to lose weight quickly. Unfortunately, quick weight loss is usually not healthy. Weight loss is best achieved slowly at a rate of one to two pounds a week by consuming low glycemic foods, regular exercise, and hormonal optimization.
Many weight loss programs are successful in getting patients to lose weight, but keeping weight off is another matter. That's because many weight loss programs are not practical for the long term. As a result, 85% of those who lose weight regain it all back within 2 years.
Fad or crash diets promote loss of water and protein and less fat loss, and are generally unhealthy for the long-term. Many fad or crash diets actually end up lowering our body's metabolism making it more difficult to burn energy and lose weight.
One popular diet today that touts rapid weight loss is the HCG Diet. And there is always weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery) that can lead to some rather quick weight loss.
A popular weight loss program today that touts quick weight loss is the HCG Diet. HCG stands for human choriongonatropin, which is a hormone produced in pregnant women. Its role is to keep the mother and fetus well nourished during pregnancy.
The HCG Diet is usually 6 weeks in length. In addition, to daily HCG injections (or use of sublingual drops) the individual consumes 500 to 750 calories a day. The diet consists of high quality protein and fiber. The premise of the HCG Diet is that although the 500 to 750 calories is low, the additional calories the body needs come from the breakdown of fat by HCG. Of course, one will lose weight initially if consuming only 500 to 750 calories. But, with time metabolism slows down making further weight loss increasingly difficult.
The problem is that though the body's fat stores may provide the additional calories to support the many functions of the body, those fat stores do not provide all the other nutrients (vitamins and mineral among others) to support the metabolic demands of the body. The body needs more than just calories to function. It's difficult to get all those nutrients from 500 to 750 calories a day.
A half-pound to 3 pounds of weight loss per day is reported to occur from the HCG Diet. Exercise assists with further weight loss. The diet can be associated with hunger, headaches, and blurry vision.
The HCG Diet has been associated with as much as 40 pounds of weight loss in 40 days.
Long-term results are not known at this time. Unless long term life-style changes are implemented it is reasonable to expect at least some weight gain once the diet is stopped. Consuming so few calories for weeks can be unhealthy.
Weight loss surgery is reserved for individuals who are morbidly obese, or those with a body-mass index (BMI) over 40. Weight loss surgery is considered successful if there is a 50% in weight that is maintained at 3 to 5 years. Weight loss surgery is many times successful and reduces incidence of many disorders associated with obesity such as, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, arthritis, and heart disease.
Weight loss surgery is major surgery, and likewise is associated with potential complications some of which are life threatening. The more common complications include bleeding, infection, blockage or tearing of the bowel, and need for further surgery.
A deficiency in any number of hormones is frequently related to excessive weight. If you struggle with weight, it is important to have your thyroid function checked and your growth hormone and DHEA levels measured. Women should have their estrogen and progesterone levels measured. Likewise, men should have their testosterone levels measured. Hormones in the optimal range make the body run more efficiently and help support the body's many functions. See "Anti Aging Hormones".
When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, like the turtle and the hare, slow and steady wins the race. Eat smart. Exercise smart. Get your hormone levels checked.

You can use the American Diabetes Association exchange list for meal planning to create a diet plan that works for you. The diets are prepared to fill your caloric needs of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. Avoid saturated fats and simple sugars. Try to limit your cholesterol intake and include high fiber and high complex carbohydrates into your diet program.

Deer Trail Town Hall is located at 555 Second Avenue, Deer Trail, CO 80105; phone: 303-769-4464.
Like many communities in the west, Deer Trail developed around a railroad station. In 1870, a station was built when the railroad tracks were laid. On November 11, 1875, the Kansas Pacific Railway granted and platted the land for the town of Deer Trail. Deer Trail became an important shipping point in eastern Colorado for livestock, and later grain, cream, eggs, and other products. On July 4, 1869, Deer Trail was home to the first rodeo. Many homes and businesses were built in Deer Trail prior to the turn of the century.
The Town incorporated in 1920. Deer Trail adopted a mayor and board of trustees type of government. S. Guy Morrow was the Town's first mayor. He was elected on April 6, 1920.
The 1920s also marked Deer Trail's most prosperous era. Many businesses opened including two banks, two lumber companies, two barber shops, three hotels, five markets and grocery stores, several cream stations, a drug store, fashion shop, theater, cafes, bakery, doctor and dentists offices, a real estate office, and grain elevators. The fairgrounds were built in the 1920's by a group of Deer Trail business men who formed a Fair Association. By September 23, 1920, the regulation half-mile track, large grandstand, and pavilion was built. In 1923 an artesian water well was drilled. In 1924 a water tower was constructed as well as the sewer system.
The 1930s were significant in Deer Trail's history because during the decade a highway through town was constructed. This road is known as State Highway 40, or 1st Avenue.
During the 1960s Interstate 70 was constructed. On June 17, 1965, Deer Trail suffered a tremendous flood. Sections of the railroad tracks and of highway 40 were washed downstream. The business district was under six feet of water. The Town never fully recovered. Many business owners chose not to rebuild, others moved to be closer to the 1-70 interchange, and other buildings had to be torn down.
In 1969, after nearly 100 years, the railroad discontinued service to the depot. The deed to the depot was given to the Deer Trail Pioneer Historical Society and in June, 1971, the structure was moved to the town park to be used as museum.
Deer Trail's population has remained fairly stable in recent years. However, the growth of the metropolitan area, particularly around Denver's International Airport, may create development pressure in Deer Trail in the coming years.

ENFIELD C.A.C: Royal Enfield Coarse Angling Club recently hosted their 2-day International match competition along the banks of the Grand Canal. It was a huge success and Royal Enfield CAC secretary, Mark O'Donoghue sent us a cracking report, along with some eye-catching photographs of fantastic catches from the competition. Over the 2 days, Dublin angler Pat Bartley produced a net full of fish weighing 20lbs 12oz to win the competition. Pat was certainly chuffed with his prizes, which included the AL Perpetual Cup, the Fred Moss memorial Cup and almost a thousand euro in prize money. The event had many visiting anglers from England and Joe Lawerance from England was 2nd with 14lbs 15oz, and 3rd was also an English angler, Neil Paterson with 13lbs 6oz.
KING OF THE CANAL: Staying with the coarse angling scene, Julian Kendrick of Daingean Coarse Anglers tells us they had a fantastic one-day open match competition. Up for grabs was the King of the Canal crown and we have the photograph of winner Paul Holding being crowned by Irish International angler Conor Browne. The event was fished in a 55 pegged stretch of the Grand Canal flowing through Daingean, and Paul produced a catch of 11lbs 9oz to be crowned King Of the Canal. Many more match competitions are penciled in for the Daingean Coarse Anglers and we will keep you posted on all the prize winners.
THE NOLANS FROM KANSAS: It's becoming a very small world these days on the angling scene with facebook, social media and all that stuff. I was contacted last week by Steve Nolan from Kansas who was traveling across Ireland with his wife Kathryn. We managed to get them to venture to Mullingar and spend a few days fishing our local lakes. Steve is based in Fort Leaveworth Combined Arms Forces Center and Kathryn is on a break from school teaching. It was not their first trip to Ireland, but they had never dropped into Westmeath before. Well, the rest is history, as Steve and Kathryn were over the moon with their few days in Mullingar. I will be keeping in touch with the Nolan clan from Kansas and you can be sure they will be back in the heart of the midlands.
RAINBOW DELIGHTS: Last week we featured Derrymore Springs Fishery and adventure center near Killucan and as you could see it's a magical spot for a bit of fishing. Last week I ventured out and caught up with Sarah Whelehan who was fishing from one of the boats on Derrymore Springs. The lake is open seven days a week and is a grand spot to take the family for a day out. I got chatting to Pat Whelehan of Derrymore Springs and he told me quite a few young anglers are having a go at the fishing. This is great news as in every sport you want young blood coming online. Pat can be contacted on 087-7174336.
STAR ANGLERS: I have started an angling slot in the Irish Daily Star and 'Mick the Fish' catches up with what's happening in the angling world every Wednesday. I cover all the angling news from across Ireland, and naturally I will be giving the midlands a good old mention in this weekly piece. Keep me posted on club news, competition results and upcoming events.


Calperum Mallee SuperSite is part of the Australian SuperSite Network (SuperSites) is a national network of multidisciplinary ecosystem observatories.
The Australian SuperSite Network (SuperSites) is a national network of multidisciplinary ecosystem observatories. The ASN includes ten SuperSites that each represent a significant Australian biome. The network covers all States and Territories and spans a wide range of environmental conditions.
Each SuperSite hosts an OzFlux tower, and researchers also undertake intensive collection of various ecosystem measurements including detailed data sets on flora, fauna and biophysical processes. Through this work, SuperSites aims to improve our understanding of ecosystem response to environmental change.
The Calperum Mallee SuperSite is located on Calperum Station with research plots located in sparse mallee woodland, Callitris woodland and river floodplain that was heavily damaged by grazing and settlement and is now being actively restored and an extensive floodplain black box, river red gum and lignum ecosystem.
The Calperum Mallee is in the mallee semi-arid ecosystem, fringing the River Murray floodplains on Calperum Station, near Renmark South Australia. The area comprises undulating mallee woodlands and riverine vegetation that fringes the River. All areas are in the process of recovering from extensive grazing.
The Calperum Mallee SuperSite has established and reinforced research infrastructure that can measure and monitor the condition of a nationally iconic region.
This SuperSite is part of the Australian Flux Network Project and will build on and strengthen existing ecosystem monitoring, grazing and floodplain restoration experiments and link with in-stream water quantity and quality measurements and is an OzFlux energy, carbon and water monitoring site.
The SuperSite is investigating fluxes of water vapour and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere, upper soil layers and groundwater as well as monitoring the changes in vegetation and dependent biota associated with the different ecosystems of the Site.
What are the fundamental energy, carbon, water and nutrient stocks and flows in the Mallee, Callitris woodland and river floodplain ecosystems?
How are these stocks and flows responding to the management interventions (reduced and controlled grazing, controlled fire, controlled floods on the floodplain)?
How are the biota changing in form, frequency and distribution as climate changes and more management interventions are imposed?
How important is the connectivity between these ecosystems for hydrology, faunal movement and as refugia in times of drought?
Data is available at the TERN Data Discovery Portal (http://portal.tern.org.au/).
Terrestrial observation monitoring data from SuperSites are available at the SuperSites Data Portal (http://www.tern-supersites.net.au/knb/).
Flux data from SuperSites are available at the OzFlux Data Portal (http://ozflux.its.monash.edu.au/ecosystem/home).

The bible asks me to think soberly about myself.
"For through the grace given to me, I say, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." (Romans 12:3).
It advises me not to think more highly about myself than I ought to. It goes further to tell me that I am not in charge but God is! How do I marry what I am hearing with what the Spirit is saying?!
Many believers are in this dilemma and have been left confused! Going through Genesis 10 and 11, I ponder what message Nimrod gave the sons of men to "motivate" and move them into building a mighty tower; a thing that made God take notice; not only of the tower but also the brain behind it – Niimrod!
Left to human standard it was a success!. They achieved! They prospered! They attained! But like every other thing that does not have its origin in God, it was short-lived!
Indeed, we can "achieve" whatever we conceive, wIth a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE, But what is the life span?
Note the word CONCEIEVE; a key word in PMA, it means to receive something in the womb of your spirit! Like a pregnant woman that receives the seed of the man, something she is INCAPABLE OF PRODUCING of herself, most of us, because of the "motivation" message we hear, receive seed (ideas) that are not of God!
This is where the danger lies! Whose seed (word or idea) have you "conceived"? Who is the source or father of your conception? What spirit is backing your conception?
Only that which is birthed and conceived from the heart of God can survive the storms of this world.
"For whatever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." (1 John 5:4).
This is where our victory is: doing what we see Him do!
"For from him, and by him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen." (Romans 11:36).

Originally published: Paris: Printed and sold by Smith, 1813. lxii, 331 pp. Reprinted by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. 2011. With a new introduction by William E. Butler, John Edward Fowler Distinguished Professor of Law and Director of the Vinogradoff Institute at the Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law and Emeritus Professor of Comparative Law at University College London; Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. ISBN-13: 9781616190668. ISBN-10: 1616190663. Hardcover. New. $25.95 * Warden's was the first English-language treatise on consular law and one of the earliest works on the subject.

Highly regarded in its day, it was translated into French, the language of nineteenth-century diplomacy, and circulated widely among diplomatic circles. A scarce work today, our edition is enhanced by Professor Butler's extensive introduction, which examines the historical context of this book and the life of its author. "Consular law, it is widely believed, is among the most venerable of the institutes of the law of nations and an early example, in State practice and doctrinal form, of the comparative investigation and analysis of State practice in the form of treaties, national legislation, and judicial application." --William E. Butler, iv David Bailie Warden [1772-1845], an Irish-born American diplomat, was distinguished for his scientific attainments and varied learning. A member of the French Academy and other prestigious learned societies, he was secretary of the United States Legation to France, agent of prize causes, and for many years the United States consul in Paris.
