  Out in the Mountains, March 1991 : UVM's Non-Discrimination Clause: Four Years Later
Four years later it appears that, although there have been few cases so far concerning gay and lesbian issues, opinions about the measure are mixed among students, employees, and administration.
The overall opinion appeared to be that the clause is for the most part "window dressing." It had a "yes and no" worth for them, meaning it is empowering in the sense that in case something did come up that was discriminatory, they could justify bringing it to the administration.
The non-discrimination clause could serve at the springboard from which education and awareness lead to overall changes in people's attitudes towards lesbians and gays, with the cooperation of all involved; the students, employees, and the administration of an institution.

The clause is recognized as the primary building block in the OpenText.org annotation model because it is the level at which propositions are made.
The subjects and complements in the clause level annotation correspond to the participants in a process; the predicators correspond to the processes; and the adjuncts typically correspond to the circumstances associated with the process, though some adjuncts are peripheral participants in a process.
A second type of secondary clause, the embedded clause, involves the phenomenon of rank-shifting—a linguistic element is embedded to a level of grammar lower than the typical level at which it functions.

 Liberal Nationalism
However, the Clause less clearly extends to permanent migrants and the residency requirements of entry states, for while it endows the New Yorker with certain rights whilst he visits Virginia, it has less to say about those who, having left New York, are now Virginia residents.
The core of the Clause, said Miller J., was citizenship, the citizenship denied a fugitive slave in the Dred Scott case.
So viewed, the Clause does not bar a state from restricting the liberty of all of its citizens, as long as the law does not discriminate among classes of citizens.

And if you’re looking for my son on a fourway search clause, then his probation officer has to have notified you for him to be under suspicion of some kind of activity.” Usually when someone is on probation, a parole officer or a probation officer is with the police when they come to your house.
And if they say that they are there for a parole search, a four-way clause, then they need to have a parole officer with them or they need to show me in fl and white what their procedures are, what they can and can’t do.

Clause One The Smith appellants next argue that Castillo qualifies as a "covered person" under clause one of the family policies.
To qualify as a "covered person" under clause one, two elements must be satisfied: (1) the person seeking "covered person" status must be a "family member"; and (2) the person's conduct implicating coverage for the automobile-related accident must stem from the person's "ownership, maintenance or use" of any automobile.
Such construction is consistent with both the classes as established by the terms used in clause four and the theory of liability asserted against Castillo.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Blessed Virgin Mary
In 799 the 10th canon of the Synod of Salzburg prescribes four feasts in honour of the Mother of God: the Purification, 2 February; the Annunciation, 25 March; the Assumption, 15 August; the Nativity, 8 September.
It has been suggested by a recent writer that the last clause may be understood as meaning, "they [i.e., the bystanders] understood not the word he spoke unto them [i.e., to Mary and Joseph]".
The clause "what is that to me and to thee" renders the Greek ti emoi kai soi, which in its turn corresponds to the Hebrew phrase mah li walakh.

 The Clause Rank: Form and Function
In order to discuss the constituents of the clause, it is necessary to refer to the units smaller than the clause itself.
Thus, in the declarative clause, we call the functions of subject and verb the 'central' functions while objects, complements, and adverbials are the 'peripheral' functions.
o conclude this outline of the basic clause patterns, we need to understand the principles by which the functional constituents of the clause are identified.

 ICE Journal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
Four Justices B the Chief Justice joined by Justices O'Connor and Kennedy and, in substantial part, by Justice Thomas B were not satisfied that the Virginia courts had acted properly in allowing Mark's statement into evidence, but were also not sure that those courts had violated Benjamin's confrontation right.
Although he joined the plurality opinion, Justice Breyer wrote separately to suggest that Confrontation Clause jurisprudence might be improved by severing its link to hearsay doctrine and recognizing that the Clause was principally meant to protect the right of an accused to meet his accusers face to face rather than the trustworthiness of evidence.
the Clause reflects a narrow but categorical rule:  Anyone who testifies against an accused must do so in the way demanded for centuries by the common law system of criminal justice, openly, in the presence of the accused, under oath, and subject to adverse examination.

 Ennen & nyt 2/03: New Labour, New Life for Britain?
The reason why Clause Four had caused so much debate over the years was that it contained a commitment to public ownership.(14) Traditionally it had been the revisionists and the modernisers within the Labour party who had been most keen to see Clause Four abolished.
In their opinion, abandoning Clause Four was only a beginning for Blair's modernising project and its importance was symbolical more than anything else.(17) The Spectator barely mentioned Clause Four and it concentrated on other issues in Blair's speech.
In an article accompanying the new Clause Four Steve Platt described the debate about the Clause Four as an "ideological battle for the soul of the left".(19) The NSS and the Tribune also organised a special Clause Four conference in the House of Commons where the suggestion was further discussed.

 BBC Online - On The Record - Interviews
What I said actually at the time, and I believe I can remember it quite clearly is that if the new Clause Four is written and reflects what Tony said in his speech, and it was a magnificent speech to the conference, then there's no problem about it at all.
As I say at the moment we have a strange debate between Clause Four and what might be the replacement for Clause Four, and that hasn't been developed, so I think any sensible person would say, well, we'd better see both of them.
I mean it's a bit silly to say we're going to choose Clause Four against something else that hasn't even been written yet, and I hope those parties will actually delay their decision until they see the two elements and then make a choice.

In each of the four sentences, the drafter has added a dependent clause or two before the independent clause, so that the main idea comes 20 or more words from the beginning of the sentence.
A fourth thing that makes this clause hard to read is that the drafter failed to separate the subject matter by topic with separate subsections and subheadings.
This clause's turgid language may have obscured substantive issues that need to be addressed.

Although Clause Four was turned into a dead letter by Labour's right wing, it remained a source of attraction and a point of reference for the rank and file especially in times of capitalist crisis.
A number of regions feel that the current Clause Four best expresses that commitment…" It also revealed that the attack on Clause Four "was also felt to be a diversion from the more important task of campaigning and taking on the Tories." This reflected the real feelings of the rank and file.
Secondly, Blair made the Clause Four issue a vote of confidence in his leadership, and threatened to resign as leader if he was defeated.

If the initial response of most MPs, trade union leaders and delegates is confirmed - and opposition to the move confined to the hard left - a draft which would revise Labour's 1918 constitution could be ready by December and put to next year's party conference after widespread consultation.
His decision to make the symbolic move was known only to his deputy, John Prescott, and a few close aides until he dropped it into the closing passage of yesterday's resounding appeal for 'national renewal'.
Four minutes from the end, he made the crucial pitch, telling the activists: 'The people of this country are not looking to us for a revolution.
