Edward, so far the churches have been empty. There have been no fatalities. But tomorrow night's Christmas Eve. They're going to be packed. So why shouldn't I send troops in?
Gov.:
Because, due respect, Mr. President but you do it without my consent and it's a clear violation of State's rights and you would have said the same thing when you were the Governor of New Hampshire.
President:
This doesn't happen in New Hampshire.
Gov.:
You got a pretty big black population in New Hampshire, do you?
Leo McGarry's sobriety isn't the subject of these hearings. These hearings are to investigate if any rules - ethical or otherwise - were broken by Jed Bartlet while he was running for President.
Gibson:
That's nice, but I live in the actual world where the object of these hearings is to win.
Cliff:
No... it's not.
Gibson:
It's the object of the Majority.
Cliff:
Not while I'm the Majority Counsel, it's not. This is bush league. This is why good people hate us. This right here. This thing. This isn't what these hearings are about.
*1.KKK(Ku Klux Klan)
白人至上主義団体「クー・クラックス・クラン」。略称KKK。アメリカの人種差別を主張する悪名高き秘密団体。会員( Klansmenクランズマン)は、白い頭巾に白いマントの異様な衣装をまとう。「奴隷解放宣言」後の1866年、テネシー州プラスキーで結成された。南北戦争後の南部各州において,黒人解放政策に抗議し,白人の権利を主張した団体。(1867年には、ルイジアナで同主旨の団体the Knights of the White Cameliaも誕生している) 1869年に解散を命じられるも、1915年ジョージア州アトランタで復活。1920年代の最盛期には400万人以上の会員数に達した。1930年代の不況時には、殺人やリンチ事件が明るみに出たこともあり、会員数は数千に激減。 http://www.kkklan.com/
