joining us is jeffrey rosen, the head of the national constitution center. our panel is back. good to have you with us. tell us about the abortion case before the court. what's at stake? >> abortion case in some way is an encore of the 2016 abortion case called the hell ter stat case. it's whether they can require admitting privileges before rev, it could allow states to impose serious restrictions on abortion and open the door toward something like what tennessee did just a week or so ago with six-week bans, which at the moment are unconstitutional. on the other hand, the court could split the difference and say that abortion restrictions for clinics are okay in some states and not in others. but everyone is looking to see what justice kavanaugh will do. he replaced justice kennedy. the stakes are obviously hugely high. and it comes in the wake of this extraordinary week, where chief justice roberts showed he doesn't like 5-4 liberal and conservative splits and sided with the liberals for gay rights and also in other significant cases. involving daca. so as a result, we're ju

constitution has been unchanged for something right 70 years and this is very unusual as a national constitution of the state with japan's status so ultimately this is about making small constitutional provisions which normalize japan's international rob how do you explain the trumpet ministration demanding that japan significantly boost its spending on american troops. that's really about domestic politics so from the truck side and from the japanese side of me in this case we've been talking about defense minister. really this is the leadership level that this goes up to prime minister abbott both of have a domestic political agenda which can be played into through this kind of backwards and forwards over defense spending on the truck side he would obviously like to demonstrate that he is he is coming out of the current crises still in a position of strength dictating to his allies and positive sees how america will work and this is about showing he's doing something for the american economy on the japanese side prime minister abbott for a long time has wanted to make more use of the japan sel

they are honorable men and women in uniform who defend this nation's constitution and they should not be used in the way this president is using them. and certainly they should not be allowed to use this way by people who swore they would never carry out the president's unlawful and illegal orders. both secretary esper and general milley said that in the senate and they're willing to say this is the american battle space. >> you were a helicopter pilot in iraq. you were wounded because of your flying combat missions in iraq. what about the use of a blackhawk to fly solo in what is normally a counterinsurgencesy combat action? >> two things -- yeah. there's two things when i look at that. one, there's what's called an frc, a inflict restrictive zone that sits above the white house and above wherever the president is. and they are in that flight restrictive zone because they're allowed to be because the president is there, but they have to be given permission to be in that area and fly that low. the faa says you may not fly under 400 above ground level above an open gathering of people.

criminal attack on protesters because he disagree with their views shakes the foundation of our nation's constitutional order. michael mann goes on to say when the nation's top law enforcement officer becomes complicit and the tactics of an autocrat it chills protective speech for all of us. >>it was shameful political theater at a time. when all of us. our feeling shame about our nation and are very fearful that politics is trumping policy indecency. >>governor gavin, newsome is no longer mincing his words for president trump after law enforcement forcibly remove protesters monday. today the governor spent time with community leaders in stockton to talk about the effects of the nationwide response to the death of george floyd the governor says he supports legislation to explore how reparations can be made to african americans in california. the vine. >>those terms what does this mean what is it not me and how do we have a different kind of compact. and so we can promote. and deliver on the promise of foundational fundamental change. >>governor newsom said he is hopeful communities such as stockton can

joining me now is jeffrey rosen, president and ceo of the national constitution center. he also teaches at george washington university law school. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> so how significant was the move by supreme court chief justice john roberts to side with liberal justices to black the louisiana abortion law that would have closed most clinics in that state? >> chief justice roberts' decision to side with the liberals in the abortion case is tremendously significant. it shows that he's willing to take precedent very seriously, even in a case that people believe was wrongly decided doesn't matter. in that sense it provides a strong sense of how he could wait and in that sense it should give great comfort for those who want to side with liberal justices recently upholding the immigration program that allowed dreamers to stay in the country and he sided with an opinion that extended antidiscrimination protections to lgbtq workers. is he becoming the new swing vote on the supreme court? or is that being overly simplistic here? >> chief justi

. >>> i want to turn to jeffrey rosen, the president and ceo of the national constitution center. he is also a law professor at george washington university. roughly 30 minutes ago, jeffrey, we heard from senator schumer, stood on the chamber floor. he said he did not expect this decision. what about you? were you at all surprised? >> well, i've gotten out of the business of trying to predict these close decisions. what is striking is chief justice roberts did here exactly what he did in the census case last year. he said the trump administration may not change its policies based on invented reasons. the crucial sentence in this opinion is the basic rule here is clear, an agency must defend its actions based on the reasons it gave when it acted. in this case the chief justice said the reasons offered were essentially made up to just phi a decision that was made for other reasons and we have to go back to the drawing board. in that sense here the chief justice was consistent. he believes agencies can change policy but they have to follow the right rules and procedures, and in that

especially troubling to me because i know from working with him, his commitment to our nation, to the constitution, and to the american people to keep them safe and give his best military advice. it's striking below the belt to make these accusations and try to scare the american people. it's my duty as chairman of the armed services committee to remain strong oversight over this issue. we have oversight over them. if what they're saying is true, we still have the oversight, and i assure you we're watching. right now our military is doing what they always have done, and that's their duty within the law of the constitutional limits. that's exactly what general milley has done and is doing. right now we're seeing a lot of finger pointing and blame going around. we owe it to ourselves and our neighbors to believe the very best in each other, not assume the worst. we need to recognize everyone's inherent value and dignity and treat each other with respect and dignity as christ calls us to do. only then can we listen to both -- with both of our ears and our hearts. that's what i'm asking the american p

you know, jeb bush was the president of the national constitution center, he was succeeded by vice presidentiden and our current chair is neil gorsuch, we have liberals and conservatives. all of them believe what you said, it's the job of judges to follow the law regardless of where it leads. that's exactly what john roberts was doing. he said, we have to defer to congress as judges and if congress wants to change the law, they can. if there's some plausible hold for obamacare, i'm going to take it. that's what neil gorsuch said too, it's not up for us to dislike this result because congress didn't anticipate it. these are the words they chose we have to follow it where they lead. there's a lot of cynicism about courts in the country but what we're seeing here is judges doing exactly what they're supposed to do. following the law where it leads leighing it up to the political branchs to make important political decisions. and it's a ray of hope that in the partisanship we're seeing citizens can look to the courts as an ideal of nonpartisan adjudication where judges separate their political s

though the text of our federal constitution and our national laws may not change that often, their meanings and do. can and do. and i believe this is an accurate statement of the way executive power has gone over the centuries, but i want to emphasize that this is not a recent phenomenon. this is the way that constitutional interpretation and change happened from the very beginning. sai is critical of congressional executive agreements in the book. these are substitutes for the treaty power. basically, it's a statutory authorization for the president to make executive agreements which makes it easier to make executive agreements in the treaty power. i think it seems pretty obvious that the framers thought that international agreements would have to go through the senate process, the two-thirds. but the first congressional executive agreement was 1792, an agreement that authorized the post office to make international agreements for international postal mail. another example is george washington in the neutrality proclamation in 1793 asserted very broad, a very broad conception of, implicitl

as andrew mccarthy pointed out in a recent article, the president has the constitutional authority and power through the national guard and of course our military them. it's called insurrection act. he has the full authority to go into these states and restore order which he now must do because they didn't do it. if these liberal mayors and governors in most cases are unable and unwilling to protect their own citizens, the federal government well. take a look. >> we cannot allow the righteous crowds of peaceful protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob. i will fight to protect you. i am your president of law and order. that is why i am taking immediate presidential action to stop the violence and restore security and safety in america. mayors and governors must establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled. if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and

national security. this is all very natural and logical. no territory could be abused by domestic or internal or overseas forces to constitute a threat to thest of the mother country. therefore, i think when hong kong has failed to do that for more than 23 years, it's logicalfor do that for more than 23 years, it's logical for the chinese government through the national people's congress to amend the basic law by stipulating that national security law for hong kong, no one in the world should pretend to be surprised that china is a sovereign power over hong kong can do that minimum thing. look at what the united states is doing for puerto rico, it would allow them to constitute a threat to national security interest of the united states. i'm sorry, but we are out of time. thank you very much for joining us on bbc news. 13 years after she vanished, german prosecutors today said they believe that madeline mccann is dead. a 43—year—old german national has been identified as a murder suspect. known only as christian b, he's currently in prison for sex offences and was living in portugal near the resort of praia de loosh, in the summer of 2007,
