from the in classroom experience which is invaluable to their kid to their learning experience the a.c.l.u.'s released a report that says georgia likely removed nearly 200000 georgia citizens from the hotel rolls as the wrongly concluding that these folks had moved when in fact they never moved at all. well there we do have in georgia a process that the secretary of state or some sponsible for to ensure that the voter rolls are cleaned up on a regular basis and if people move and are not receiving information if they are not properly registered or if they are registered in 2 different places for example if they move in then register to new address it is a legitimate responsibility of the secretary of state to correct that whether or not there were mistakes made i'm not sure yet i'd certainly wouldn't just take the a.c.l.u.'s word for it but certainly it's worth looking into to make sure that the process was done properly are you worried about november 3rd you were about the election what might happen mr votes wrong votes panic in the streets i'm very worried about it larry when i see what'

and so justice ginsburg, then ruth bader ginsburg and a lawyer for the a.c.l.u., took the case to the supreme court and changed that. >> she also served as a reminder to the other justices on the bench of how the work world really operated. and there was the case, the lilly ledbetter fair pay case, in which, even though she lost that case, in dissent, she called-- basically called on congress to deal with this situation, since the supreme court would not. and congress did respond. and it was the first law that president obama signed-- the first legislation that president obama signed into law. so even in dissent, she had a powerful influence. >> sreenivasan: amy, i want to ask, in the-- now we have justice kagan. we have justice sotomayor. before bader ginsburg, we had sandra day o'connor. what does she add into thimix? >> she often talked about how justice o'connor sort of-- "mentored" may have been a strong word, but really sort of helped her along when she arrived on the bench and, you know, when she was assigned her first opinion. frequently, the first opinion for a new justice is

attorney brenda feigin co-founded the a.c.l.u. women's rights project with ruth bader ginsburg in 1972. that'shere ginsburg first worked on cases targeting discrimination on the basis of sex. and aclu attorney ria tabaccoma now heads the project. thanks to both of you for joining us today. brenda, i want to begin with u, because it was during that time when you were wh her there at the a.c.l.u. women's rights project that she argued her very first case before the supreme court. it was for air force lieutenant sharon frontiero arguing that federal benefits the laws there treated married female members of the armed forces differently than males. it was 1973. you were there in washington with her. tell us what it was like to watch her argue that case. >> i had all these big, huge casebooks with me that i was prepared to usto give her the sights to the cases that she was relying on in her oral argument. i didn't need a single one of them. when we start, it was the usual oyez oyez. and then the justices proceeded into the courtroom and

reaction been to this ruling and what did what does this ruling now mean well so we have reaction the a.c.l.u. the american civil liberties union they have called it a victory for privacy rights edward snowden himself reacted he tweeted saying that 7 years ago as the news was declared that i was being charged as a criminal. speaking the truth i never imagined that i would live to see our courts condemn the n.s.a. sic to vicki's as unlawful and in the same ruling credit me for exposing them of course it now remains to be seen what will happen to snowden just a couple of weeks ago president donald trump actually floated the idea of a pardon trump pass in the past called snowden a traitor he's even called for his execution now there is little there's not much. support in washington for a pardon both democrats democratic and republican lawmakers have said that that would be a big mistake snowden has said he is of course in exile in russia he said that he would not return to the u.s. and less the as the unit charges against him were dropped. will this mean that the n.s.a. will have to what's chang

pioneering advocate for women's rights before she went on to the supreme court she was head of the a.c.l.u. women's rights project and she argued 6 cases in front of the supreme court 15 of them to convince the court that. there were there were constitutional protections that allowed the discrimination against women and often she used a very interesting strategy she was known as the plaintiffs most famously a widower who had died in childbirth and he wanted to access her social security benefits that automatically would have gone to a woman but not for a man and so that over time many cases like this convince the 3 court to embrace the 14th amendment as one that also along with racial equality with men to guarantee sexual equality so it's it's by far which is going to be known for certainly you know and i'm an incredible legacy we can say you know we seen it already i've mentioned it what the presidential campaign is going to be coming up with code her death reshaped presidential election campaign it has already traumatically changed the conversation when you look at what was happening wit

point and way too late there's some sort of court ruling yes yes may be overturned but we'll watch a.c.l.u. thanks to. huge victory so we'll see what happens. going on to another whistleblower story there's a whistleblower at the l.a. sheriff's department that says that one of these high profile killings that a cop cop killed a senior role in july in l.a. that killed that kid to join a gang at the sheriff's department there. they're like. a ritual or whatever it is to someone they call these costs chasers because they get tattoos once they kill somebody they all have the skull tattoo and they were they were questioned in this court case for the killing of andras guardo and they just said oh it's just a coincidence that we all have these schools because we have. any kind of movement to get these assholes fired yet there is an f.b.i. investigation into. the gang is actually called the executioner's which i think is a little bit on the windows a little bit on the nose so there is an f.b.i. investigation and seeing this court case of because we have andres and this week. john kids he was also

she worked pro bono for the a.c.l.u., co-founding their women's rights project. she quickly became one of the most accomplished litigators in the country, writing a brief the supreme court cited in reed against reed, to rule for the first time that discrimination on the basis of sex violated the 14th amendment. ruth bader ginsburg's arguments led the court to overcome centuries of narrow views about the proper role of women in american life. as a result, the court's holding redefined american law. ruth's accomplishments led to an appointment to the prestigious united states court of appeals in the d.c. circuit and in 1993 president clinton named her to the supreme court. her nomination sailed through this body with 98 votes. a reminder of a time not so very long ago when the senate actually understood its constitutional responsibility to advise and consent and what that actually meant. for more than a quarter century on the court, justice ginsburg authored rules that promoted fairness, advanced equality and secured hard-won rights. they upheld affirmative action

to take part in our government in response to this new law the tennessee executive director of the a.c.l.u. heavy weinberg said quote we are very disappointed in governor lee's decision to sign this bill which chills free speech undermines criminal justice reform and fails to address the very issue. as of racial justice and police violence raised by the protesters who are now being targeted. and that my of ren's is the real truth we are seeing across this land rather than take responsibility and fix the system of institutionalized racism and wealth inequality our politicians are quick to take the old easy way out with empty court corporate gestures of equality and outright criminalization of protest unless of course your protest is sponsored by you know coca-cola mcdonald's or lockheed martin then it's ok black america so is yet another black american is tragically gunned down in the streets by those who protect and serve in our bill of rights is quickly becoming a list of potential felonies. i think that's a good time to start watching the hawks. you want to go on a cd you st. leger so le

earlier in here career she was co-founder of the women's rights project at a.c.l.u. she once said, women belong in all places where decisions are being made. it shouldn't be that women are the exception. ruth bader ginsburg was nommed nated to the supreme court by president bill clinton. chief justice john roberts joked that earlier in her life that judge ginsburg wanted to be an opera virtuoso, but became a rock star instead.

>> stahl: --winning endorsements from the a.c.l.u. but also the conservative koch brothers.ed in 2018 with nearly 2/3 of the florida vote. when amendment four passed, did you register to vote? >> clifford tyson: the first night that it passed, i went on the internet and i registered, yes. >> stahl: pastor clifford tyson was politically active back in college, before committing robberies and theft. that was long ago. still, he thought he'd never get a chance to vote. but last year he cast a ballot in the primary for mayor of tampa. >> tyson: when they handed me my ballot, i started crying. i'm 64 years old. i remember when my grandmothers and my mom, them, had to vote, and what they had to go through. getting all the way to the polls, even after they had their rights, and then they would have to count the jellybeans in the jar just to go in. >> stahl: they weren't allowed to vote if they couldn't guess how many jellybeans were in a jar? >> tyson: yes. >> stahl: desmond meade also got emotional when he registered-- >> this represents me being a citizen again! >> stahl: --but t

to the dean who asked why she was there taking the place of a man then she went on to work for the a.c.l.u. where she successfully argued a number of cases before the supreme court that were based that were that were fighting gender discrimination and finally in 1903 with her nomination and confirmation to the u.s. supreme court she was only the 2nd female justice to sit on that bench and certainly her death at the age of 87 leaves a wide hole that liberals are grieving in in this political atmosphere we know that president trump. it has already said that tomorrow this is before justice ginsburg is even lain in the ground that president trump will announce his nominee for her replacement and that is despite justice ginsburg's granddaughter saying that the dying wish of ginsburg was that a new president announce her replacement but certainly the politics of this moment are not calling for that with president hoping to get his nominee who will surely be from the conservative right a quick confirmation process in the senate where there are enough republican senators to push that confirmation

founder of the a.c.l.u.'s women's rights project many thought would get in the way of bill clinton appointing her to the supreme court or making the nomination. she got through, only three voted against her 96-3 back then. oh, for those days, right? and to think about what happens after this, ginsburg herself had said that her fervent wish was not to be replaced until a new president could do that. this president said he's going to move quickly for a replacement and therein lies the battle royale, for many members who sit on the judicial committee, a good number of republicans, they're up for election themselves. and following that drama and where this one goes right now. hey, chad. >> neil, good morning. this is going to hinge on two things, timing and the math. how quickly can they advance the supreme court nominee and would that nominee have the votes? let me do a breakdown for you. this is going to get kind of complex. it takes an average of 40 to 45 days for a supreme court nominee once they've been pick

she worked as a law firm in new york and helping to launch the a.c.l.u.omen's rights project and before being on the supreme court, the court of appeals. after president clinton nominated her, she was the second woman to sister of on the nation's highest court and president clinton said of her 27 years in the court that exceeded his highest expectations. and john roberts released a statement on behalf of the court our nation has lost a jurist of supreme stature. future generations will remember justice ginsburg as we knew her a tiredless and resolute champion of justice. all morning long we've seen people come back to pay respects, many bringing by flowers, cards, candles, beautiful as the sun was coming up. vice-presidential candidate kamala harris stopped by and we didn't know that she was here, it was tweeted about. she lost her husband in 2010, but she was surrounded by her family in washington before passing away. a private internment is expected at arlington national cemetery and the exact scheduled is worked out. and many people are flocking to the

the a.c.l.u.went into a dizzy spin at this terrible discovery on the separation of church and state and is even now appealing to have a, quote, order there, coming down. the scene is complicated by governor bob james. governor james has said that he was going to not give the order it comes down, somebody else would have to do it. on another front, the very month that the ten commandments were discovered in alabama. [laughter] >> a young lady, 15 years old, called heather crowley was detected of mischief in milwaukee. what she had done was seek subscriptions to a pledge. the pledge was called "let's wait until then" and she had 50 girls committed to this covenant which was to postpone sexual experience until marriage. when it was detected that heather was also a member of the girls christian league in milwaukee, under the circumstances, the superintendent said this is a clear violation of the constitution and her activity would have to cease. i remember at the time reflecting on it and it was too l
