Argument

The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court.

Unless there is any more question, we have to find an argument in this case.

All persons having business before the Honorable

Supreme Court of the United States are admonished to give their attention.

I think that's right.

So odds and ends, Suncor is one of the big cases.

This term is the first, I believe it was the first argument of this term.

We had a late recusal by Justice Alito.

don't want an argument.

I want a statement.

Can't statements be arguments? Argumentative in nature? I'll

mute both of

you.

And so I think there's no reason to overrule the court's ruling on the second motion to suppress.

Those were the arguments presented by counsel here at Argument, and I'm happy to address any of the other issues raised.

Thank you, Your Honor.

We ask your front.

And then the last section, 373C to 376C, only the good man errs voluntarily.

Only the just man is the one who intentionally does bad things.

That's a new argument.

But in this dialectic and literature section, Socrates just gives, and I'm using Ravi's, he breaks these out into nice little sections for us, but Socrates just points again to the fact that Achilles speaks falsely, and Hippias brings up the point that it was unintentional or that he changed one's mind, which is kind of in the realm of the unintentional, right? So if I say, I'm going to screw you, I'm going home, I'm not playing a game anymore.

There's a telos to any given activity.

And so just identify which what what the P is, what the property is that captures that.

Yeah, we start with the property, but we're going to move on the body parts and things like that.

Yeah.

So to understand capital, we also have to ask how ownership itself is created and protected.

This is where the law becomes central to her argument.

argument.So most economists would, uh, say that capital and labor are the two factors of production.

So if you want to build a factory and you produce anything, you need both capital and you need people who work with this capital and produce some goods, which are then being sold, and the profits are being churned back into the factory or into production, um, or consumed by those who control capital effectively.

Um, and I think that I, I don't, I don't dis-dispute this account in general, but what I would like to add is we have to understand how people can actually put capital into production.

Arguments...

Argument-wise, earning your fifth MVP, it kind of solidifies it.

It's kind of like...

Because you have two more MVPs than anybody else that played in the WNBA.

On the second point on Taiwan, I wou- I would suggest a slightly different way of looking at it, which, which is you, you, you mentioned a, an obligation to protect a democracy in the face of, uh, hostility and aggression.

And I understand that argument

argumentI, I would have a different take on it in, in, in that I believe American foreign policy should focus like a laser on the vital national security interest of the United States.

I, I think a mistake American foreign policy made in previous decades is getting away from that central focus.

And, and indeed if you look during the George W. Bush presidency, uh, I think you saw interventionists who argued we must protect democracy wherever it occurs.

This is Latin.

Argumentum ad verecundiam.

Ooh, you, uh-

Ooh.

I wanted to give a more charitable reading and try to figure out what is going on here.

And what I kind of came to determine was that I believe that these are authors who understand that Argumentation is a process of winning over someone to your point of view.

And I developed some of these ideas after reading the work of Chaim Perelman and Lucy Obrecht-Teitiger, The New Rhetoric, which was written in the late 60s, actually.

So it's a piece of work that really helped me start to distinguish the notion of the diversity of audiences and the way that authors tailor their arguments depending on their audience.
