Dr. Tom Hickey:

I am glad the Deputy brought this up. Perhaps I should not have used those labels. I was using them as shorthand to give a picture that the committee has a choice of going blanket ban, let us call that conservative, or using it to allow this in certain circumstances - let us call that liberal for shorthand - to make the point that either option is open to it from the standpoint of the Constitution. I do not really have a view or want to express a view on the substance of either option morally speaking. My view is irrelevant.
