QuoteThe Administrative Procedure Act (APA) is a federal act that governs the procedures of administrative law. The APA is codified in 5 U.S.C. §§ 551–559.

The core pieces of the act establish how federal administrative agencies make rules and how they adjudicate administrative litigation. 5 U.S.C. § 551(5)–(7) clarifies that rulemaking is the "agency process for formulating, amending, or repealing a rule," and adjudication is the final disposition of an agency matter other than rulemaking. That is, rulemaking goes beyond resolution of specific controversies between parties and includes management and administrative functions. Rulemaking and adjudication can be formal or informal, which in turn determines which APA procedural requirements apply.

QuoteA neighbor of Singleton's recognized the police sketch crafted from Mary's account and wasted no time contacting law enforcement. Nine days after the attack, Singleton was arrested and charged with attempted murder, rape, and a slew of other sexual offenses against Mary.

Despite being found guilty, he received a shockingly short sentence of only 14 years, and as he left the courtroom, he had some chilling words for Mary: "If it's the last thing I do, I'll finish the job," he whispered menacingly as he was dragged away.

Singleton was released just eight years later for 'good behavior.' Tragically, Singleton would go on to murder Roxanne Hayes, a mother of three, in 1997. When police arrived at the scene after a neighbor's call, they found him blood-stained.

QuoteWe've all heard the maxim, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Do you know anyone that altruistic? I don't.

So if the statement makes any sense, it must be because it's not altruistic at all. In fact, it's quite self-interested. In fact, I would say that it's self-interested in at least three distinct ways. With your indulgence and patience, I'll spend a few moments examining each one.

First: On any given issue where people disagree, you may well be right—and those who disagree with you may well be wrong. But you could always be better.

Or put it another way: You may be right. But you should also want to win. And the way to maximize your chances of winning is to constantly expose yourself to competing viewpoints—and to do so as vigorously and frequently as possible....

[Second, i]n any particular disagreement, you may well be right. But you also could be wrong.

And you need to be okay with that. Because if your goal is not to soothe your ego, but to discover the truth, then you need to be prepared to be wrong at any given moment, on any given issue....

[Third,] regardless of whether you're ultimately right or wrong on a particular issue, I would submit that respecting disagreement will make your life much better. It will also make the world a far more pleasant place to live...
