shift and it will have a big impact on the court. one of the things and this is a little bit of your supreme court lawyers geek perspective on this but one of the things that gets lost in the context of gerrymandering cases is those cases would go to the supreme court on appellate docket and one of the great things about the supreme court has 99% of their docket are discretionary. they can decide whether they want to grant a certain case. it is if it's unclear in a little bit muffed up and they don't have anything clarifying to say they can't deny cert that when you have issues that come up on the appellate docket they don't have that luxury. if they do get into the business of partisan gerrymandering it's not going to be something where they lay out a couple of broad principles and revisited 10 years after the case. if they do lay down a marker in this area they will be in this business themselves on a recurring and very act case so stay tuned for whether they decide to take that step. partisan gerrymandering is the most important ca

court. it makes it difficult for immigration judges. i was a judge in a detained court. a lot of people i saw were criminals. i had to make determination as to criminal removability every day of the week. when the law keeps changing it's hard to make those determinations. it's a complex concept and i used to teach it. quite frankly applying it was very difficult. demaya has pulled out a huge number of cases involving individuals dangerous individuals removable from the united states. i took a look at four manslaughter, indecent, assault and battery, burglary and there was a fifth one, i think arson was also on the list. kidnapping is another one. there are a lot of crimes that are just not going to be removable as a result -- >> under the supreme court decision. >> under supreme court decision in demaya. >> people guilty of those kriemgs can't be removed. >> would not be removable from the united states unless they can get them on a different ground. that's a serious issue. also a serious issue, senator cornyn for another reason not just the statute addressed but crimes o

suppose a defendant in federal court were convicted and ordered to pay a fine and the defendant said i cannot do that with my domestic assets. they are all located abroad. i am confident the courts would say the obligation falls on you, how you raise the money is your concern. it is not annexed tutorial application -- it is not an extraterritorial application of the statute to say pay the fine. that is what we are to happen with the warrant. the text of the statute says nothing about extraterritorial conduct. i do not knowyor: that you fairly answer justice ginsburg's question. the reality in 1986, if you look at the statute and its reference to stored records and pastnications, it is a technology, old concept. i think it is fair to say that back then they were thinking that where these materials were stored had a geographic existence in the united states, not abroad or nowhere else and they were protecting the communications that were stored in particular locations. whats have changed, but you are asking us to do is to imagine what congress would have done or intended in a totally di

court. every time you have a new justice you have a new court. i think that has been particularly true of justice course which, and i think it's early but the way i think of it is he has already shown on his relative brief time on the court a real willingness to think about a principal standpoint and not take every issue as if the supreme court has been wrestling with this and it's wrestled itself to the following point and i'll take everything before it for granted and i'll just sort of apply the doctrine at the point that we've gotten to after 225 years. i think he's seen a real willingness to ask if they've taken a wrong turn in some earlier case and should i look at this from a broader perspective. i argued the case and i'll bring the alien tort statute and not the oral argument he asked about a theory that has been kicking out around and there really wasn't the focal point of the case. it had been discussed a little bit in one of the earlier cases and the majority of the courscourt had moved on but he was very interested in engaging and one

in just a few hours, a court in seoul will sentence the former south korean president, park geun—hye,t in a corruption scandal which led to her being removed from office. she faces 18 charges including bribery, abuse of power and coercion. prosecutors have demanded 30 years in prison and a fine equivalent to $150 million. 0ur correspondent in seoul, laura bicker, looks back at the downfall of a leader, and the extraordinary protests that led to being impeached. week after week the streets of seoul were bathed in candlelight. they gathered in their millions to overthrow a leader involved in a huge corruption scandal. the peaceful movement gathered pace and strength, and proved too powerful for south korea's president. the charges facing park geun—hye are tied to her relationship with friend and adviser choi soon—sil. she used her presidential connections to pressure huge businesses, including electronics giant samsung, for millions of dollars in donations to foundations she controlled. president park apologised twice, but her approval ratings fell to just 5% and opposition leaders work

going back to 1990 the supreme court developed what's known as a categorical approach, mr. mchenry, in determining sentencing and mandatory sentences for the repeat criminal act. since that time they've been applied in the immigration context. now the supreme court yesterday rendered a decision that now affects how immigration judges analyze criminal convictions and i think you alluded to that a little earlier. do you think that decision will cause a surge of motion filings in immigration courts and how will that -- what impact will that have if there is going to be a surge, how will that affect your backlog, and how does that affect the analysis required for criminal convictions under the categorical approach, how does that affect the immigration courts >> we're still assessing sort of the impact of demaya. it was a lengthy decision. it's also a case about constitutionality and vagueness so it doesn't impact the categorical approach per se. those are separate issues i alluded to that this approach that's been developed is creating confusion and misunderstanding and not only

neither restructuring the immigration courts for an independent agency nor by a hybrid court system or a trial level and appellate court outside of the executive branch will resolve these basic issues. moreover, any restructuring would be complicated and expensive, requiring resources that would be better directed improvi improving eoir and providing that were more judges and clerks and administrative staff. the arguing for restructuring are less substantive than they appear. having served under attorneys general for both parties, nor do i believe there's any perception that my were innunesed by i will been a former imf attorney or former staff. i had a high level of autonomy over my docket and the ability to rearrange cases in both situations and most importantly i ran my court in a professional manner and i expected all the parties who appeared before me to respect the decorum of the tribunal. there was no reason for anyone in my courtroom to expect that they were in anywhere, but a court of law. the arguments against restructuring are compelling. first, removing eoir and functions f

there was only one instance of a court in british law where the court eclairs an act of parliament void, and that was 200 years earlier. it was a practice that arose under the articles of confederation in many of the states, but was regarded as logically implicit. says that the, it powers of the legislation are defined and they may not be the constitution as written. this was not an unimportant observation. having a written constitution was at that time not unique. see from this next , the number of justices on the supreme court has varied. after the civil war at nine. when president lincoln -- to give you an example -- when president lincoln expanded habeas corpus ring the civil war the chief justice ruled that his actions were illegal and lincoln simply ignored him. war, the country grew greatly and appeals grew dramatically and to decrease the supreme court's workload, the burden of it, the congress creates the regional circuit, to which gay referred a moment ago. now, i'm going to skip forward to former president and chief , who was chief justice from 19211930. taft wanted the court

but there is a recent shift. the court has made a move back toward the more property-based view and in some cases has revitalized olmstead and goldman going back to the text of the amendment. so the question now becomes what do do you with these cases as we go forward in the modern era? the reality is that the brought rights approach could have some very real applications, and you saw arguments in carpenter. justice scores scoresy talking about how they might apply. > that was such an interesting observation and fascinating. two different but supporting positions. on the one hand, the justice resurrecting the property based approach. on the other hand, justice sotomayor, said that it makes no sense that the data surrenderered to a third party is one to which we have no expectation of privacy, is focused more on our privacy expectations and that 24/7 searches can reveal so much about us, and we should have the right to conceal or thoughts on emotions. it is interesting to see two justices from different perspectives coming

so that is a clash courts are dealing with right now. when someone publishes, for example, a sonogram taken of two fetuses, is that information beyond the bounds of what is newsworthy? when someone then publishes a medical chart from a hospital, is that information beyond the bounds of what is newsworthy? in both of those examples the courts decided the answer was yes and drew a boundary. newsworthiness boundary protecting individual privacy over a publication's decision to publish something. so it's a really interesting time when media ethics has started to play a certain role in those questions. one other quick example, there is a court that decide ad case a number of years ago now against nbc's "to catch a predator." in that decision, the court literally looked at the society of professional journalists code of ethics, and used that ethics code against the journalists. that is a very dangerous situation because ethically journalists are bound in a sense to cover or to abide by those code provisions and yet they are very flexible and me

a lot of them teach as well is staying on the court. it is a great option that is available to us at a certain age. >> can we pull back the curtain and take a look at the inner workings of that court? could you talk to us about the discussions that occur among you and your colleagues as to which cases you are taking, when you are taking a case and the legal discussion about trying to achieve a degree of consensus and the give-and-take of the debate as to where you come down on the case? >> unlike the supreme court we have no discretionary jurisdiction. we have to take every appeal. we do not have time spent discussing that. the case is assigned to particular date when three judges are scheduled to sit. the briefs come in over a period of time prior to that. we do whatever research we want to do. we go to oral argument. we have not talked with each other. immediately after the arguments in the morning, which might be three or four cases, we going to conference and start working on deciding the cases. there is a general agreement that we o

it has affected the supreme court. >> it has been over a year since justice joined the supreme court and time flies when you're having fun. it's been exciting to watch especially a someone who's on the frontline advocating for his confirmation and i think we got this right because everything we've seen so far has been very good. it seems to make me laugh at the memory of the confirmation hearing where there were two jamil jackson's testifying one on other each side. we invited the right one today. it was a wonderful i had a long-term impact is on the next supreme court confirmation whenever that happens because seen first of all how smoothly it iran and was very instructive in a great way to start off the presidency. the fact that the democrats decided to take harry reid's approach and go all the way and filibuster even someone who is as obviously well-qualified and balanced and bipartisan support by someone who knew him as opposed to the ideologues and the fact that they were willing to go to the mat for someone like that and say this pers

just a couple of quick points. when the court later talks about griswold, today you would not know it was not a 14th amendment due process case. they often treat it as that. number two we went from the right of privacy inside a marriage, inside a marital bedroom to the right to make important decisions in your head. these include rights regarding sexual expression. sexual expression becomes more finally, and more separated from community, from the fact that it is where children are created, from the fact that it might be -- it does or does not take place in marriage. it gets separated from that and it becomes a right to express yourself the right of identity. ,you see the substantive due process right morphing in lawrence. finally to a right to establish your identity. it went a long distance from where it started inside the marital bedroom in griswold. >> justice kennedy's language could easily have been listed -- lifted from griswold. as much as there was an individual component to the decisions people make to marry, express th
