the appellate courts do not have that responsibility, we have to make the decision. yes, the appellate court can look but they do not have the discretion, they are just going to be concerned about the fact that we did not go off the rails, so to speak but basically it is the most profound aspect of the district court judges job, in my opinion. we have jurisdiction over criminal cases and civil cases. we have in the federal courts jurisdiction of over almost everything except maybe domestic relations. so the ability to exercise our discretion is really the centerpiece of the responsibilities of a district court judge. peter: in your book you talk about the sentencing commission, bureau of prisons, three strikes, parole, probation, community confinement, compassionate release. what kinds of restrictions do you have when it comes to sentencing? if a jury find somebody guilty, can you give them a day, or do you have to give them 25 years? you know what i mean by that question. judge block: well, we might need another hour to talk about this.

now ultimately, after i've been in prison for four years, the appellate court reverses that big lie ofhe senate seat, and they said it's routine political logrolling. and look, that's partially true. the court did vacate the conviction related to obama's senate seat, but they never said he did nothing wrong. the court said there was a jury instruction issue, and they upheld the remaining 13 counts. so contrary to his claim, he has not been exonerated. and for the love of elvis, we can only hope that rod's crimes are not routine. if there is a big lie, it's that he's a victim, especially since every other charge was upheld, including the extortion of a children's hospital. gandhi, he ain't. this isn't some sort of mystery, that, "gosh, i didn't know. i had no idea. it's so gray." really? i think most of us have some gut sense of when we're beginning to get in trouble. i don't believe blagojevich has ever done any reflection on right and wrong. extorting a hospital-- never occurred to him that that might harm the citizens that he was elected to protect. he--he has no ability to look at a

most before they get through the appellate process. but, you know, the case will in appeals, it reminds me of north carolina's other amazingly famous case fatal vision with jeffrey mcdonnell that went from the seventies to i don't know today but i argue that we do have a first ending a jury of peers found him guilty in the courtroom in the community where he lived in the place where his grandfather's portrait was on the back wall in a place where his father tried dozens of murder cases and a place where his great grandfather in the days before amplification he had the nickname fire and brimstone because he could fill the with his voice in that room. alec was convicted of killing his wife and son full stop and then the epilog of the book is a couple of months later in november 23 right after thanksgiving. alec is in the courtroom. buford and he pled guilty. i was there. he pled guilty to the motive, the predicate crimes, all of them, all the people that creighton waters and other prosecutors said he stole from. he pled guilty to that an

supreme court to reverse an appellate court decision that essentially, you know, it dissolved the northeaste was dissolved in 2023 between american and jetblue. now, american is asking the supreme court to reverse that decision, saying that the judge misapplied the law that this alliance between jetblue and american delivered consumer benefits, and therefore it should be reinstated. we should point out, melissa, this was filed by american by itself. this was not filed by american and jetblue. we have reached out to jetblue waiting to hear if they have a comment on this. but again, american asking the u.s. supreme court to reverse the decision to dissolve the northeast alliance. melissa, back to you. >> phil. thank you. phil lebeau. coming up, a brutal day on wall street with the major indices all selling off. but will the carnage continue through the week? how our traders are preparing for tomorrow when fast money returns. >> total energy use has been hunting for the best entrepreneurs across africa to tackle energy poverty. farmers are highly dependent on rainfall, but water is scarce with

when you get that, why is it the court said that the plaintiff or the appellate in the case was actually citizen of the united states. >> the supreme court rationale is a little hard to follow to be honest. but it does say that the parents there are lawfully present with the consent of the sovereign which is united states. the equivalent of our -- >> they are talking about lawful presence, and attention which has a legal term, you are intending to live there, stay there be part of that community. i am baffled by the notion that if you cross through the reservation and you go to the hospital in yuma and you have a baby and your intention is to immediately leave and go back home, you are not legally present in the united states nor do you have an intention to be here. why then does that baby he entitled to birthright citizenship. >> sorry. congressman, that they be is not entitled to birthright citizenship did i think it does not in any way support the claim that it is entitled to birthright citizenship. as i mentioned previously, the issue of that case was very clearly limited to aliens w

think many of my colleagues agree, and it's weird because our objection has always been that the appellate body was, was what was wrong, and it hasn't been functional for years. that can't be the reason to pull out of the wto now. do you think it's still to our advantage to engage with the wto? what do you think about senator hawley's efforts? >> i do believe that the wto does have an important role in a unique forum to pull together so many nations in one in one place and to be able to address cross cutting issues. many of the rules that the members adopt under the wto, these are binding trade commitments, and one can use those rules as a way of ensuring that there is market access in various. countries, even if the dispute settlement system doesn't work, there certainly is a value in having a binding commitment which you can have a conversation with a government about why a certain problem hasn't been addressed that they committed to. >> thank you. this piece we're seeing large layoffs in agency after agency after agency. how when this hits the ita and cbp and the ustr. with chaotic and

supreme court and other federal appellate courts. consequently in that position to confirm, i've got two closely related, very important russian. one, who is your client, number two, will you wear the suit? >> your client if i were to be confirmed would be the united states and the united states. still fidelity would be for the constitution, the rule of law, and i commit to wearing the morning suit but i will not look nearly as good as your father did >> when he wore it. >>terrific, thank you. >> i was over at an ag hearing which was just a little more mellow so i'm happy to be here. i know we are going to talk on the phone at some point soon and i appreciate you being willing to do that. i've let efforts to protect voter access to the polls in the security of our elections, the freedom to vote act setting basic national standards to make sure all americans can vote in a way that works best for them regardless of their zip code. john lewis once said the right to vote is precious and almost sacred and one of the most important blessin

laurence cuvillier: la présidente mexicaine, c'est devenu un marqueur de son style politique, avait appelé'un mois au tout dernier moment par donald trump. il y avait encore un maigre espoir que ces tarifs d'un montant de 25 % sur toutes les marchandises mexicaines soient ajournés ou que le montant soit légèrement baissé. peu après l'annonce du maintien de ces taxes douanières, la présidente mexicaine a réuni son cabinet, mais aucun de ses membres n'a fait de commentaire. aucune publication sur les réseaux sociaux. il est probable que claudia sheinbaum fasse connaître sa riposte à l'annonce de la maison-blanche dans les prochaines heures, lors de sa conférence de presse quotidienne. si l'arme de washington, c'est le bruit et l'hyperbole, celle de mexico, c'est le silence et la retenue. - pauline godart: le sommet du conseil de la ligue arabe se tient au caire, en egypte. la reconstruction de la bande de gaza et la question du déplacement des palestiniens comme le souhaite trump seront au coeur des discussions. les représentants des pays du golfe, d'egypte et de jordanie ont une ébauche de
