then came 2013 when a case known as shelby county versus holder came before the supreme court.lby county, alabama, did not like to get permission to change its election laws so the county sued and in 2013 in a 5 to 4 decision the supreme court gutted the voting rights act. it did so by ruling that the formula for deciding which states and localities should be required to get pre-clearance when they wanted to change voting rules was unconstitutional. the irony is that the chief justice of the court, john roberts wrote the majority opinion in shelby versus holder essentially arguing that nearly 50 years after that legislation came into place, voter discrimination was not really a major issue anymore. he even cited an increase in black voter turnout, in his opinion. he called pre-clearance, quote, a drastic departure from basic principles of federalism, end quote. justice ruth bader ginsburg disagreed dissenting saying, throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because yo

shelby: thank you, mr. president. you're being very kind today. mr. president, today i rise to pay tribute to a long-time vital member of my staff, shannon heinz. there aren't many in the senate who don't know shannon or know of shannon. her sterling reputation precedes her as it should. shannon heinz has been one of the most valuable members of my staff throughout my career. those who know her are aware of her resounding work ethic. having spent countless late nights right here in the senate and long weekends at the office. not only has she been a trusted asset, mr. president, to me, but she has proved to be essential in our work here in the senate to fund the government and our nation's defense during my time in leadership on the appropriations committee. having grown up in north carolina, shannon is a proud graduate of wake forest university. she began her career on capitol hill as a staff assistant to a freshman representative fred heineman of north carolina and then worked as a legislative assistant to representative lamar smith of texas. i first

host: kind of lost you there, shelby. we appreciate your input. next up, this is bob on the pessimistic line. caller: i want to talk about the reason i am pessimistic. i don't believe there is enough discussion about the lack of workforce in america. we have 71 million baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964. the modern birth rate being 1.7 children per couple, a couple is even replacing themselves in the workforce. since we have had this covid pandemic, it has exacerbated people out of the workforce. my opinion is basically being driven by the lack of workforce area a publicly traded company is only able to make 80% of their product due to the lack of workforce and transportation. they are publicly traded. short -- shareholders are projecting profit margins. ceos have no choice but to raise the prices on their products to achieve their goals. the workforce when it comes to inflation, being dependent on china's product, bringing millions of people into this country and watching the economy flourish. host: dennis calling from north carolina. caller

yet on thursday senator richard shelby excuse me on wednesday senator richard shelby the ranking on proportionsesolution might be needed by think there's a desire in congress to get it done on the absence of lujan until at least the middle of march optimistically and probably into april. i think we'll try to leave the democrats or try to get almond of a stud and get it behind us. rain to largest enterprise in the world the united states government's fiscal year beginning october 1 and we are sitting here in early february we still do not have a budget for this fiscal year. it is a travesty. paul: really it's a really problem is the defense but if you do not have the budget for 25 a billion-dollar increase over biden's proposal that the congress has authorized will not have a chance to become law. and the pentagon has frozen cannot move accounts around, cannot make spending for new weapon systems. it's a real, real problem. let me ask you about the republicans and the supreme court nomination, democrats went totally against donald trump's last two nominees. what is your advice to republicans on

case it's not clear how -- check this out, chief justice john roberts who wrote the opinion on the shelby county case which gutted another portion of voting rights act, essentially decided no longer pursuing racial pursued -- even that guy sided with the liberals yesterday. the other five concerted justices were in extreme for him. this is how aggressive and reckless the shadow docket ruling was. roberts was basically telling others, hey guys, slow down, let's destroy voting rights the right way, in due time. and in the courts they said, we will do it now. and i have to say it is perfectly fitting that this is coming out the state of alabama, not just because the last major decision to cripple the voting rights act should shelby county was also said there, but because when majority black district, the seventh congressional district. and its lines are drawn around, you got, at some parts of montgomery, alabama. the events of bloody sunday, one governor brutally beat peaceful marchers while they were walking across the bridge, happened in the seventh congressional district. the path of thos

voting rights act although it was somewhat gutted by the decision of the supreme court in shelby, article says you cannot intentionally discriminate against a population of black or brown or any racial class in order to minimize the effective voting power of that racial block. the supreme court in its decision didn't disagree with them, in fact, the lower courts said there was evidence of discrimination but the courts said they should go forward simply as a matter of convenience, which of course is absurd. the state of texas should be joining amicus briefs along with the attorney generals association across the country, there are powerful attorney generals like erickson in minnesota, leticia james in new york, all of these attorney generals should be coming together to put pressure on the supreme court to protect voting rights for all americans. we must show up to d.c., offer a back-up to our legislatures fighting to create stronger federal protections for our voting rights because it's states like alabama or even texas, where run-away legislatures allowed to gerrymander the state in such

out there so people know what i think and maybe younger black people will say i'm not crazy like shelbyeele taught me that i'm not crazy and low and behold losing the race was a minor bestseller and more low and behold i never stopped being asked to write editorials. i kept thinking i guess i'm having 15 minutes and then it became a half hour at around 08 i thought people are not going to leave me alone so i settled into it but for me it really was i want to be a professor. i like languages. i thought i was going to write a book on looney tunes and not the menstrual ones, all of them. i've seen 850 of the 1000. i love them to pieces and somehow that didn't happen so here i am just dealing with how white that came out but it's also been a crapshoot. but i wouldn't have it any other way. >> i have to tell you, it's a great book. i highly recommend and i'm curious, it is. it's a great book. it's a fast read. there's no space where it slows down. you just keep moving on. irecommend it to everyone what's your next book ? >> i want to say just because there's crosstalk, what i was saying is i

. >> errol louis, so already in the shelby case, section five of the voting rights act, essentially turned out that provided some federal oversight of communities that make decisions like this, section two, by the way, you guys know this better than me, is the one that allows no law to discriminate on the basis of color. that's where this is going here, right? do you view this as jeffrey does, to the courts leaning toward signaling that section two is going to be gone too? >> oh, sure. this is an act of the court. no mistake about it. this is a five vote majority in favor of rapidly unraveling minority voting rights. there's just no question about it. consider this, jim. the three judge panel that approved the voting plan that would have created appointed by donald trump. i mean, this is not any way radical or unusual to have a lower court. they've been doing this since the 1980s as approve a voting plan that reasonably tries to correct some of the political excesses that go on at the local level. now you have a state that's 27% black and they have exactly one district out of seven as far

ironic because it was justice roberts that wrote the majority opinion about 90 years ago in his own shelby county that gutted section five of the voting rights act. that's the one that required preclearance from the justice department four states that had a tradition of discriminating against voters based on race and that was the case where justice ginsburg famously wrote in her dissent, you don't throw away your umbrella in a rainstorm just because you're not getting wet. and throwing away that protection back in 2013 has really opened the floodgates now for all the gerrymandering that we are seeing. >> and there's fight, after, fight after, fight in state, after state, after state. let's see, whether it's redistricting fire job boxes and how they can be used, how are progressive civil rights voting groups approaching this battle? what are you hearing about how they are going to press their case as these multiple fights continue across multiple states? >> we as you talk to them, they'll say over and over again that they have been stopped doing the work that they plan on stopping doing the

i thank chairman leahy, ranking member shelby, and my house colleagues.other hand right now the thing we must do, the responsible thing to do is pass the c.r. before the deadline on friday. democrats are united in approving it. just as it was approved with great bipartisan support in the house. nobody here wants a republican government shutdown. i dare say republicans prefer not to have a republican shutdown. but for that to happen, republicans must keep working with us on an agreement to move quickly on a c.r. democrats are working in good faith to reach a time agreement soon with our republican colleagues. there is every reason in the world to arrive at an agreement quickly. so i urge my colleagues on the other side to keep working with us to get there. on nominations. later today the senate is scheduled to advance and confirm a pair of critical department of defense nominees. one of them is celeste wallander nominated to serve as assistant secretary for defense for international security affairs. a veteran of the national security council, ms. callen d

of course, there's a section devoted entirely to our elections, which says -- by a voter of the -- shelbywait. does not mean that the thousands of -- working overseas, should their vote not count? the fact that the republican leadership decided to meet a -- only to have a troll like rick's top fill it with a laundry list of republican grievances, that is tonight's absolute worst. and that is also tonight's read out. -- tonight, on all in, -- why would we have -- i'm totally confused. >> undermining democracy at home and supporting an autocrat abroad. >> very -- i have enormous respect for him. >> tonight, new russian aggression. new american sanctions on lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. then, as ivanka trump begins talks with the january six committee, why they may also want to speak with the wife of a supreme court justice. all that and one states

what's so interesting between 1965 and 2013, the shelby v. holder decision that really takes away the teeth of the voting rights act, the democratic party is able to do and we see it most acutely with the rise of barack obama is to create a multiracial, multicultural coalition where you can win the presidency with a plurality of white voters and we saw obama do this in 2008 and 2012. >> all right. we'll be watching, because it is riveting. thank you so much for being with us. all-new cnn original series "lbj: triumph and tragedy." the "newsroom" continues right now with phil mattingly. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news -- >>> you're live in the "cnn newsroom." i'm fit mattingly in for jim acosta. we begin with breaking news. u.s. officials have new intelligence adding to u.s. fears russia is readying for military action, this as president biden convened his national security council as the u.s. continues to war moscow could strike against ukraine at any moment and holds out hope diplomatic efforts will prevail. violence continues to esc

that's gone, but we were told in that case, shelby county versus holder, that don't worry, there's section 2 of the voting rights act, a part of the voting rights act that was amended in 1982 that gives minority voters the same opportunity as other voters to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice. what chief justice roberts said in his opinion yesterday, in his partial dissent, was if you apply the existing standards, alabama's got to get that second district. so he dissented from the idea that we're going to put this on hold now, but he agreed with the other five conservatives, let's rethink this whole thing. that's the most ominous thing. the court may fundamentally rework what section 2 of the voting rights act means and really weaken it so that it doesn't really protect minority voters anymore, and you're right to think it's a return back to the period before the voting rights act in 1982 was amended. >> derek, i want you to weigh in here because it's so important to think about just that dynamic of why the voting rights act of 1965 was even p

power of the black community in that state, and even justice roberts, who is the author of that 2013 shelby decision, which struck down the heart of the voting rights act, even he was in the dissent, because even he has lost control of the right wing majority of the supreme court. that's why folks like myself have called for other courses of action, including adding seats to the supreme court to save our ailing democracy. >> i'm glad you brought up alabama. 27.8% of the population of alabama is black, and 14% of the districts, congressional districts in alabama have a majority black population. that should tell you everything you need to know. congressman, good to see you again. thanks for joining us tonight. thanks for your time. >>> just ahead, we got new reporting on the documents of donald trump, that he took home from the white house, it turns out that some of them were top secret. that's next. out that some of them were top secret that's next. do you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep? qunol sleep formula combines 5 key nutrients that can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep

after the voting rights act was passed, 50 years later, 2013 shelby county versus holder stripped from that voting rights act the provisions that safeguarded the voting safety of african-americans in the south. fast forward to today and we're finding a new assault, a more insidious assault on voting rights in our nation. so we're calling on all of this as we're here this evening and look out through this weekend to call a friend and to call their senators and to call their friend's friends and all of us to get out and push our congress and our senate to enact the voting right legislation that is before them. the freedom to vote act and the john lewis advancement act. voting advancement act. we want to make sure that those are passed. that's why our theme this year is toward justice. dr. king's -- one of dr. king's favorite sayings, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. it is that bending that is the hard work that we of goodwill must do. we must bend that arc toward justice. and i believe tonight, as you enjoy this inspirational program, my hope is that yo

i mean shelby foot is extraordinary deserves all the praise but i mean if you want to read the ultimate. life and times the war and what preceded the war that made the war inevitable? the ordeal of the union one more let me do something contemporary because well, i think you know there are lots of wonderful presidential biographers. i've never read a more readable. and i won't just say one volume the first volume the edmund morris is theodore roosevelt trilogy, i think stands alone and each of the three books is different. it's really interesting because i think each of them reflects different aspects of edmund and edmonds wife. i've often thought i think of admin as a as a romantic. and i mean that is a complement. i think he was born to write the rise of theodore roosevelt, which is talk about energy at a young man's enthusiasm and he was a young man then and he could he inhabited tr's wife. and and he had and has a remarkable gift for narrative history it's it's just you know, it's just extraordinary book. and then a long time went by. while he did there unfortunate reagan book and h

staff from the shelby county election commission even signed off on the application. until this letter came dated september 4th, 2019, a day later, saying, wait a minute, they were wrong. >> i relied on the election commission because those are the people who were supposed to know what, you know, you're supposed to do. >> see how crazy this is? >> the department of corrections signed off on her voting application. so did the county election commission. but apparently, they screwed up. and technically she wasn't eligible after all. but for submitting that certificate, that they screwed up, and trying to register to vote, pamela moses was arrested and charged and convicted and is now sentenced to six years in prison for illegally trying to register to vote. the judge in her case i'm not kidding said in court that pamela moses tricked the probation department into giving her the certificate, saying she was eligible to vote. she tricked them. she's a sourceress, maybe? a trump supporter in nevada fraudulently, knowingly, fraudulently submitted a ballot in his dead wife's
