== Plot ==
Republican Congresswoman Barbara Layton (Jones) starts a campaign against publicly funded NIH projects into sexual diseases. The attack is based on a list of seemingly useless projects, but by association, her real target becomes the president's daughter Ellie, who is working on a study into the Human papillomavirus that researched conditions for prostitutes in Puerto Rico. The President is infuriated at having a family member dragged into political battles, and Toby tries to discredit the attack by finding its source. At first the list seems to originate from a far-right group called the "Traditional Values Alliance", but Toby's assistant Rena uncovers an updated list that shows it came from within the administration. Toby immediately suspects the Vice President's office. When confronted, Will takes full responsibility, and assures that the list was compiled purely for internal use and not leaked on purpose. Will suspects that his boss might have leaked the material on purpose, however, and Russell in private agrees he has ties to the Republicans on health issues and notes that having some distance from the President isn't a bad thing for him. Will is left utterly disgusted with the VP.
Meanwhile President Bartlet tries to persuade Ellie to speak to the press to contain the incidence, but Ellie insists she is not as comfortable with the spotlight as the other members of the family. She later watches her mother do a light-hearted appearance on ''Sesame Street'', to defend her right to practice medicine even after voluntarily giving up her licence. This inspires her to follow her father's advice, and give a passionate public statement about the necessity of a politically independent scientific community.
In parallel storylines, Josh tries to end a deadlock on the appointment of a 6th Circuit federal court judge. His old friend Eric Hayden (Gaston) has been waiting for a year for confirmation from the Republican-led Congress, and is offered the position of dean of Georgetown's law school. But Josh suggests making a temporary recess appointment that will at least put the issue on the agenda. Hayden apparently agrees, but when Josh brings the case before Leo he is told that the federal courts will have to wait, due to the death of a Supreme Court justice. Josh is surprised that the dead justice is not Chief Justice Roy Ashland but a younger conservative judge named Owen Brady. C.J., meanwhile, tries to make things right with resurfaced college boyfriend Ben, whom she has been forced to ignore due to her workload. But she soon realises she might have come on too strong. Josh’s intern Ryan, it appears, has not showed up for work this day, to Donna's concern and Josh's overt joy. 〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Eppur Si Muove )〕
