The state bars will see through this thinly veiled tactic to foment a chilling effect upon lawyers from doing our job and zealously representing clients that are political and even controversial, democrats don't have to agree with President Trump's opinions and claims, but that is not a basis upon which to sanction his lawyers. – Jenna Ellis	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Government bodies should always strive for transparency, and the ACLU supports any good-faith effort to make public education as transparent as possible to parents and communities, but some of these so-called ‘curriculum transparency bills’ are thinly veiled attempts at chilling teachers and students from learning and talking about race and gender in schools. Their sponsors have said as much. – Emerson Sykes	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Justice Sotomayor was attacked for her temperament. Conservatives asked,' Is she too combative ? Is she smart enough ?'

These low-wage workers, like so many in platform workplaces, often are veiled --- they can't get a grasp on pay, the workers are at an informational disadvantage. It's one thing to choose to work a crappy job, it's a whole other issue when workers can't even get enough information to make decisions about whether a job's conditions are decent enough. – Katie Wells	Found on CNN 5 years ago
In an interview with NBC News, President (Donald) Trump admitted to firing FBI Director James Comey because of his investigation of the Trump campaign's Russian connections, that is dangerously close to obstruction of justice.

While bills are being brought into the House of Commons to regulate every thing, from the sweeps crying "sweep," to "emancipation, vote by ballot, and free trade," is there no county member whose "time and talents'' are devoted to "domestic policy," who will bring in a bill "for the better regulation of the marriage ceremony," and put the canonical hours later in the day ? at all events, could there not be a special clause in favour of London ? A spring morning there is the very reverse of Thomson's description ; for "delicious mildness" read "a cutting east wind;" and for "veiled in roses" substitute "smoke and fog." The streets are given up to the necessities of life — to the milkman with his cans, the butcher with his tray, the baker with his basket ; all belong to the material portion of existence. Now, marriage is (or ought to be) an affair of affections, sentiments, &c. The legislature ought to give it the full benefit of moonlight and wax-candles. – Letitia Elizabeth Landon	added by Madeleine Quinn 7 years ago
Some of his Republican rivals are saying that his latest comments have gone too far. But the truth is many of them have said extreme things about Muslims. Their language may be more veiled than Trump's but their ideas aren't so different. – Hillary Clinton	Found on CNN 8 years ago
I'm totally horrified by what happened, one just needs to look at the video, the images of that bathroom and it knocks you out. It knocks you out.

A veiled woman attacked Paul Ryan, 47, last week in a restroom of a high-end mall in Abu Dhabi. Paul Ryan was killed with a sharp object during a fight in the women's restroom, local authorities said. Police later arrested an Emirati woman, whom they described as a suspect. Paul Ryan arrived in Abu Dhabi last week to be reunited with Paul Ryan 11-year-old twin boys. Paul Ryan said Paul Ryan plans to move them to the United States, where they used to live. Paul Ryan and Paul Ryan 13-year-old daughter, who currently live in Vienna, will join them. Though they plan to leave in January, Paul Ryan said, Paul Ryan is not worried about any dangers. – Paul Ryan	Found on CNN 9 years ago
The popularity of disaster movies expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment. Their thinly veiled symbolic meaning might be translated thus: We are innocent of wrongdoing. We are attacked by unforeseeable forces come to harm us. We are, thus, innocent even of negligence. Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious. – David Mamet	added by anonymous 9 years ago
No monster vibration, no snake universe hallucinations. Many tiny jeweled violet flowers along the path of a living brook that looked like Blake's illustration for a canal in grassy Eden: huge Pacific watery shore, Orlovsky dancing naked like Shiva long-haired before giant green waves, titanic cliffs that Wordsworth mentioned in his own Sublime, great yellow sun veiled with mist hanging over the planet's oceanic horizon. No harm. – Allen Ginsberg	added by anonymous 10 years ago
Publicity in women is detestable. Anonymity runs in their blood. The desire to be veiled still possesses them.

If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come. – Franz Kafka	added by anonymous 10 years ago
