opinions as a supreme court justice is bad but moving on next on the chopping block is samuel anthony alito nominated by george w. bush is also no stranger to conflicts of interest he's attended multiple fundraisers and events for republican candidates but the fact that doing so stands in violation of the code of conduct for u.s. judges and of course he too staunchly support citizens united he's been quoted as saying surely the idea that the first amendment protects only certain privileged voices should be disturbing to anyone who believes in free speech doesn't get more well in that folks because he's saying that corporations should be just as private as you and i despite the fact that they're disproportionately more privileged to be getting whipped so now we know that a bit more about the justices on the court that talk about our current court a little more as well from cases you might expect to see in the upcoming months with manual rapinoe b.t.s. producer what's going on what's up so what are well let's go i just one of the most controversial supreme court justices do you think that the

certainly justice sotomayor and justice alito's opinion talk about electronic monitoring.scalia's opinion is careful not a to rely on the test and not rely on concerns.electronic monitoring. his opinion was solely about the physical intrusion and the purpose for the governmental conduct. and i think if you read the most recent ruling from the court in this area, florida vs. jordan, with justice scalia writing the majority point, you can see the concern on the physical intrusion. i think with respect -- >> what's your opinion? it seems to behortsighte so think the physical intrusion -- >> i agree. my personal opinion is that the concerns with the monitoring are more important because we're already at a time where government doesn't need a physical intrusion. >> you can triangulate things without actually physically attaching something. and that's my concern. i really do -- i have a geolocation bill done with senator widen, the bipartisan way, you have been very supportive. i don't think it is just merely the physical intrusion of attaching a gps device. technology over the

justice alito, although not going as far, was indicated his willingness to consider the court's current privacy jurisprudence, and i stayed from , "thessent in that case use of longer-term gps monitoring investigations of most criminal offenses impinges expectations of privacy." , five read from that justices say you have an expectation of privacy vis-À- vis long-term electronic monitoring when you are in the public. if you have that expectation of privacy in the eyes of at least five justices when you're in public and on public streets, you certainly ought to have the same level of expectations of privacy when you are on your own property, notwithstanding the fact that a drone may or may not be in it navigable airspace. a final point the committee should consider is the following. when considering whether drone surveillance constitutes a search under the fourth amendment, i would urge the committee to avoid resolving his question to the fitness test or legal terms of art. the expectation of a privacy subjective test. most justices have knowledge that. even justice harlan, who was respo

little more conservative than its predecessor court mainly because of the addition of justice samuel alito replaced justice sandra day o'connor. she often was more of a moderating force on the court and he is much more conservative >> brown: and one of the things you're looking at-- and, again, this comes up in the sort of politization of the court. we talk about it as a more -- and it's because of the times we live in, right? everything is politicized. >> that's true. >> brown: how did the justices see that and how did that play into their work, if at all? >> i did interview a good number of the justices and in the book some of them do talk about whether politics enters into tir cision making and obviously they all feel that it does not. but they talk about how they approach cases. one, they don't think in terms of a liberal block and a conservative block. as one justice explained to me, "we all do the same thing. question we read the lower court opinion, we read the brief, we listen to the arguments, we look at prior decisions and we make our decisions." but one justice also said "the re

five right wing justices on the court now rank in the top ten and the top two justice roberts justice alito there when they join the court we saw the court make a u. turn in favor of big corporate interests over the public interest in the bush appointees . boy i would love to get into a discussion right now both margaret and judicial review but. i'm not going to go there we don't have the time david what has changed in america in american jurisprudence is this is this just the natural evolution the natural consequence of of the palmetto nepal being put on the court leading to things like buckley versus vallejo and first national bank versus bloddy or is this you know is this huge i mean john roberts was a two million dollar your corporate lawyer before you put on the court is this just the consequence of having a republican president at a time when two openings appear on the court. you know it it's not just that it is a consequence yes having a republican on the court it is a consequence of the twenty five years since the palmetto where this ideology and not just a business ideology but a c

the famous interchange between the president and justice alito saying not so.ing from senators after citizens united from the to the irs saying look into some of these groups. it doesn't take a smoking gun e-mail to get people moving in a certain direction. i'm delighted to see people left, right and center are concerned about this. there was an editorial in the new york times on the press crackdown. martha: when you are dealing with the herd mentality, is the notion that, well, look, what we are doing is still meaningful. so do what you have to do to accomplish our goals. as charles was saying the tea party is bad, the message coming through the unions and from the white house to a great extent. is it the end justifies the means? don't worry if you have to make a list of these folks to call them out, you are doing the right thing. >> in history if you look back in history this happened in republican administrations as well. people can get intoxicated with their power. you can see that in the position i had at the fcc in terms of how much power these folks have

you can imagine parks that are essentially connectivity say sounds where if you @booktv is alito's takepictures of anything. place where individuals can congregate and have lunch and interact and essentially be kind of off the grid of being photographed, you know, being documented. obviously not in back alleys. we are talking of this basis. talk about how even doing something like this would be extraordinarily difficult because was so many people having connectivity, these things become difficult to enforce. >> a reasonable expectation is that society will develop some new social etiquette. maybe people will decide to turn off their devices during dinner or, perhaps, there will decide that a signal of using a device during dinner is that you're born with that dinner conversation. a simple and mild example of this in google over the years is that i try to enforce something which we called 60 minutes, and that for one and 60 minute timeframe per week you had to turn off your computer and me and looked at each other and run the company. of course people would have their mobile devices and

justice alito, although not court's current privacy jurisprudence, and i stayed from his dissent in that case, "the use of longer-term gps expectations of privacy." what i read from that, five expectation of privacy vis-À- vis long-term electronic monitoring when you are in the public. if you have that expectation of privacy in the eyes of at least five justices when you're in public and on public streets, you certainly ought to have the privacy when you are on your own fact that a drone may or may not be in it navigable airspace. a final point the committee should consider is the following. when considering whether drone questionder the fourth to the fitness test or legal terms of art. the expectation of a privacy test is a very subjective test. test in the united states versus wright decision. often judges in fourth amended inses will simply say that all this case, they apply what rationally related to a legitimate governmental interest. police intrusions is at odds with the central meaning of the deter governmental intrusions on privacy. rather, we know the amendment was put in the bi

bill: and justice alito sat there shaking his head in disagreement.eve miller included, is that the number of applications that flooded this i.r.s. office was so overwhelming for the employees there that they had to winnow out the applications in order to be more efficient. there are those suggesting already that 2010 was not the year that the applications went higher. that was more like 2011, 2012. it does appear to be a fact, though, between that three-year period the number of applications for tax exempt nonprofit organizations doubled, but did that happen in 2010 when these orders were given down? or did that come later in 2011 and 2012 during the heat of the national election? martha: bill, you take sort of the bigger picture, bird bird's-eye view of all of this. and you point to the fact that a number of these groups, tea party groups, different organizations that had a similar kind of mantra have been saying, we are being targeted, we are being singled out, we are being given a different set of rules than other people, and frankly, a lot of peo

"instead, the e.p.a. has done something and unfortunately this is a trend at the e.p.a. the e.p.a. issued what it calls "guidance" on this issue. now according to the earnings the guidance -- quote -- "clarifies how the e.p.a. and the corps understand existing requirements of the clean water act and the agency's implementing regulations in light of relevant decisions. the problem is this: guidance is short of what the e.p.a. should do, which is to promulgate rules and regs. and it's short of that for a particular reason, because there's no clear-cut, nailed-down process for guidance. the e.p.a. can just make up what it wants without having to take input from affected parties. under law, there is clear-cut guidelines, rules for promu

certainly, justice sotomayor and justice alito's opinion talk about electronic monitoring.ustice scalia is very careful not to rely on any sort of electronic concerns or controls of -- orhis opinion was solely e physical intrusion and the purpose for the governmental conduct. i think if you read the most scaliaruling o, justice writing the majority of the opinion, you see the scope of the concern on physical intrusion. what is your opinion of that? it seems short-sighted to think just a physical intrusion -- >> i agree with that. the concerns of the monitoring are more important because we are at a time where government does not need a physical intrusion. >> you can triangulate things without physically attaching things. i have a deal location bill that was done in a bipartisan way. you have been very supportive of this. i don't think it is a physical intrusion of attaching a device over time. let me get the other gentlemans opinion of this. aerospace, if you have private a 5erty, let's say you have acre parcel of land, i think there is the reasonable expectation of privacy
