	Variety.com - Reviews - The Nanny
		Director Seth Holt; Producer Jimmy Sangster; Screenplay Jimmy Sangster; Camera Harry Waxman; Editor James Needs, Tom Simpson; Music Richard Rodney Bennett; Art Director Edward Carrick
		But, in fairness, the balance of power between Davis, posing as a devoted nanny, and William Dix as a knowing youngster who hates Davis' innards, is so skillfully portrayed to make The Nanny a superior psycho-thriller.
		It's not necessary to be an astute student to guess that Bette Davis as a middle-aged Mary Poppins in a fairly fraught household will eventually be up to no good.

	McCain-Feingold Follies (washingtonpost.com)
		The McCain team has a former solicitor general of its own to take the field, Seth Waxman.
		What's more, Waxman has won two campaign reform cases before the Supreme Court, both of which involved the constitutionality of spending and contribution limits.
		Perhaps Bush was playing, as he so often does, to his right wing, which hates McCain, foams at his bill and deplores his lack of deference to Bush.

	Washingtonpost.com: Court Hears Arguments On NEA 'Decency' Rules
		Solicitor General Seth P. Waxman, representing the NEA, said the decency standard is only a guideline for the agency as it pays for "artistic excellence." He said the language was a compromise in Congress not intended to be overly restrictive.
		Waxman contended the NEA fulfilled the statute by broadening the membership on its advisory panels to include people with a wide range of cultural perspectives and diverse values.
		Other justices asked whether the NEA's interpretation of the law is as broad as the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals found when it struck down the statute.

		But suppose it had been Democrat Seth Waxman as attorney general and Robert Mueller as the new Gore-appointed FBI director when the same hijackers did exactly what they did.
		Share, for a fleeting moment, Al Gore's daily dream: that what counted in Florida a year ago was the intent, rather than the actual practice, of voters.
		But if Al Gore had been president, the narrow right would have turned that desirable debate into a vindictive, petty one.

	CNN - Government files brief seeking to preserve Miranda warnings - November 2, 1999
		The 40-page brief written by the Justice Department's lawyers, under the direction of Solicitor General Seth Waxman, was ultimately signed by Attorney General Janet Reno, who made the final decision on the government's arguments, officials said.
		To reach its twice-delayed decision, the Justice Department had to fight its way through a legal thicket in a case known as "Dickerson" which pits a Supreme Court precedent against a law passed by Congress, which the government normally would be expected to defend.
		Government prosecutors appealed the decision, and the Fourth Circuit reversed the ruling, declaring the 1968 statute supercedes the Supreme Court's Miranda ruling, and thus the Miranda warnings were not required.

		The wolves defending this henhouse hardly inspire confidence.

	Dave Kopel & Michael S. Brown on DLC/guns on NRO
		Well, the most visible signs of the NRA's "bogus" campaign were billboards containing the text of a letter from Clinton/Gore Solicitor General Seth Waxman claiming that the Second Amendment guaranteed no individual rights and that the federal government could take away everyone's guns, if it wanted to.
		Reading between the lines, it seems that Cowan and Kessler are simply telling the antigun enthusiasts of the Democratic party to control their emotions, to muzzle the counter-productive hate speech, to impose control by salami tactics, and to stop harming their cause by grabbing for more than they have the political force to take.
		First of all, the "third way" that Cowan and Kessler advocate happens to be what the NRA has been promoting all along.

		Former U.S. Solicitor General (and top-notch appellate lawyer) Seth P Waxman gave an enlightening lecture on the history of the American office.
		Of the majority judges, Brennan CJ and McHugh J declined to determine whether s 51(xxvi) allowed the Commonwealth Parliament to pass laws to the detriment of aboriginals because it was unnecessary in their reasoning (at [20]).
		And regardless of the history and functions of the Solicitor-General, no reasonable person, and certainly no lawyer, should give credence to the argument that the sins (or attitude) of the client should be visited on their lawyer.

		The nominee is Miguel Estrada, picked for a seat of the federal court of appeals for the District of Columbia.

	CHARLES THOMAS DICKERSON v
		Seth P. Waxman argued the cause for respondent.
		Those to whom judicial decisions are an unconnected series of judgments that produce either favored or disfavored [*445] results will doubtless greet today's decision as a paragon of moderation, since it declines to overrule Miranda v.
		One will search today's opinion in vain, however, for a statement (surely simple enough to make) that what 18 U.S.C. 3501 prescribes -- the use at trial of a voluntary confession, even when a Miranda warning or its equivalent has [***421] failed to be given -- violates the Constitution.

		Simmons came out of Missouri and involved the vicious saga of Christopher Simmons, a man who, at the age of 17, boasted that he was planning to kill someone, then led a group of friends in kidnapping and murdering a female neighbor.
		Simmons was sentenced to death and has spent the early years of his adulthood on death row.

	UN DRAFT DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS GROUPS
		This letter responds to your letter of October 10, 1996, to Associate Deputy Attorney General Seth Waxman, which requested the views of the Department of Justice as to whether the Constitution would permit the federal government to afford other indigenous groups in the United States treatment comparable to that presently afforded federally recognized Indian tribes.
		We cannot, however, offer any view as to the permissibility of exercising this authority regarding a particular group of indigenous peoples without a thorough analysis of that group's history, its structure and status, the relationships between its members, and the group's relations with federal and state government authorities.
		Thus, while Congress has the authority to consider recognizing or extending benefits to indigenous groups other than Indian tribes, we cannot express a view at this time as to whether Congress could lawfully take such action towards any existing community of Native Hawaiians or other indigenous entities.

		These Democratic former officials also oppose release of memos he wrote as a civil servant, the artifice Senate opponents have seized to justify their opposition.
