justice barrett: sure. mr.hompson: the precedent would sley on the one hand seems to suggest that procedural litaons can be circumscribed on the legislature. and palm beach county, as we read it, teachesha substantive limits cannot be placed on a state legislature, so that's the precedent. in terms of the text, i think all of ue, your honor, t's a lawmaking function. and the text shows that where it "prescribed regulations, this is the lawmaking function it makes sense the founders structurally would have sa "okay, there is a pre-existing entity, the state legislature, and we are going to have that be bound by its procedures, but we are going to havral substantive limitations." you can see this with state courts. justice jackson: can i ask you a question? because you suggest that there is this thing called "the legislature" that the framers re familiar with. i'm trying to understa what counts as the legislature isn't a creature of state constitutional law? mr. thompson: your honor, i think this court in arizona

justice barrett? justice barrett: one question. one -- one difference between your brief ar position and university of north carolina's is that from the student's perspective -- and you were getting at this in some of your s to justice sotomayor statues and the presence of white supremacist grouis that from the student perspective, you know, students -- the educationafit to the studenht be in the form of counteracting feelings of isolation, sticking out, not being supported. in lightat, i'm wondering if you have anything to say about affinity groups and fity housing? i think one thing at least insofar as i'm aw the time grutter was decided and rtnly bakke, that kind of a phenomenon where you have groups, say, where, you know, black students and allies can live or, you know, bladent groups, same for, you know, hispanic groups, et cetera, was not a phenomenon that was around then. and -- and i think one of the benefits is that iws minority students to band together to reduce some of the feelings oation that you've been talkout. do yo

chief justice roberts: justice barrett? e baett: i want to follow up on justice kavanaugh's question about chief justice rehnquist's concurrence in bush versus gore. so i understand tha's not this case because that was an interpretation of a statute and we're talking about a state constitution, but i take it that if we were talking about an interpretaf a statute, you would agree with chief justice rehnquist's approach. mr. thompson: yes, yes, we do agree. e barrett: and on the theory that at that point the state court would not be acting as a court but would be acting more as a legislature? mr. thompson: that's right, your honor. i do want to pointuthat if the court were to rule in our case, it would not necessarily follow that ld have to rule the same way as the bush v. gore cence for this reason. statutes are always less problematic under the elec clause because they can be repealed. they can be rewritten by the state legislature. so, by definition, an impermissible distortion of a statute, it can be remedied byhetate leg

a perfect example of it is amy coney barrett. she got put on the court at the very end of trump presidency. she could have been blocked. at any point during the confirmation -- any democrat could have come to that floor and said mr. president, reserving the right to object and they didn't. chuck schumer made a joke of it. i don't know if you saw that. people behind the scenes, the big money behind the scenes were telling him block her. use the right to object. he came to the floor and made a mockery of that. he said people are telling me to use the right to object so i will with a big smile on his face. and he said something about asking permission for the following committees to me today. procedural type things. then he goes, mr. president, i object. he was objecting to his own request. guest: host: host: let's get a response. let's get a response. guest: makes a point about democrats not using every tool at their disposal in 2020. we were centrally involved in trying to organize the opposition to amy coney barrett. we had a lot

chief justice roberts: justice barrett? ice barrett: mr. lacour, i think i'm struggling in the same way that some others have about narrowing downly what your argument is. you know, i disagree with you and agree with justice kagan's characterization of the intent point. our precedent and the statute itself says that you don't have sw discriminatory intent, so put that aside. . lacour: mm-hmm. justice barrett: i had primary argument, to be muchur narrower, and i wantke sure now that i'm understanding it because now i'm questioning exactly where're going. i had unod you to be saying that the first gingles factor requiring reasonably configure -- a reasonably configured map that showed more majority-minority distri race-neutral, that it was not reasonably cred if it wasn't, and that our precedents have never -- have left the question open, they've n said one way or another whether you could use race prerequisite. here, you know, there was testimony below that it was impossibget to the two majority-minority districts if you didn't take race int

and, lena, your company, holland and barrett have been in this space for a while now.omen in this age group? i think we've seen a lot of change, especially in the last couple of years. women being a lot more comfortable talking about menopause, even though it still is a topic that's very much shrouded in taboo. but i think i'd say that there are two key things that we've seen come up a lot. one, which is if we really want to be reaching menopause equity, we need to include the voice of communities. i think a lot of the menopause solutions now, our customers are telling us that it talks a lot about the symptoms that white women or their white counterparts might be experiencing. but we need to do a lot more in terms of how do we address some of the symptoms that potentially black women, asian and other ethnic minorities are facing. and the second one is that it's really important that we recognise that menopause is a life stage and it's not a disease. i think there's a lot of narrative around menopause that pins it as a disease, but really it's a life stage and the more

miles: my guide for this extraordinary tour was nuclear engineer lake barrett.campaign for the nuclear regulatory commission in the wake of the three mile island meltdown in 1979. he is now a paid consultant to the owner of fukushima, the tokyo electric power company, tepco. lake barrett: if it was fresh water, i would drink it and have my grandchildren drink it. ok. so it's not a risk that i believe -- and most people believe -- is one of concern. miles: but fisherman haruo ono is not convinced. homeport for him is 30 miles to the north of the plant in soma city. after the tsunami and subsequent triple meltdowns in 2011, he and the others here were put out of business, unable to sell seafood for fear of contamination. haruo ono: we couldn't sell fish in the beginning, but we tried hard and eventually resumed. but this time, we may not be able to sell fish because they will release the water forever. miles: forever, in this case, is about 35 years. that is how long tepco says it needs to safely drain these tanks into the pacific ocean. the company is anxious to

maura barrett is following this story. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: well, chris, it's really a dire situation. just about 8:00 a.m. right now in hawaii, so we're finally starting to get some updates from officials, but unfortunately because we're seeing thousands of people without power, down power lines on the roads, downed trees, there's a lot of issues with communication, in terms of firm details about how many injured there might be, and rescue efforts and fire fighting efforts is limited, due in big part to a massive category 4 hurricane hundreds of miles south of the island chain but the winds that are whipping from the hurricane are fanning the flames so severely, and why we're seeing this wildfire spread mainly both in maui, and an area of concern on the big island as well. active evacuations ordered by officials, and this is something that's very atypical to see in hawaii. it's coming up on their fire season, but something this massive, officials say, is absolutely unprecedented. because of the winds from the hurricane, fire figh

first of all, you had chief justice john roberts a conservative and justice amy coney barrett presidentlito and cavanaugh. chief justice john roberts often does move over to the left, especially as a preliminary stage of litigation like this, but justice barrett was a little bit more of a surprise. she hasn't normally done that but in a few cases in the recently completed term she did edge a little bit to the center and i think she is also trying to show that she's taking an approach that isn't always going to be in lockstep with her brethren on the right wing. but this is what i want to caution our audience is that this is a very preliminary stage of this dispute. we don't have any kind of ruling on the merits left -- as yet and all the supreme court has done is say just wait, let the dispute play out. it heeded the solicitor general's argument here on behalf of the biden administration that ghost guns are causing an explosion in crime, there's a real public safety issue here. you know, just keep everything in place while the litigation proceeds. one last thing i want to mention is tha

he appointed kavanaugh, he appointed barrett. the court looks the way the court does the composition. the court is the composition of the court, because of those four years, those things have had consequences, not only in terms of the outcome of decision, but also just in terms of the way the court operates. this is you writing in the book the court's new conservative majority has used obscure procedural orders to shift american jurisprudence to the right, said flatly. so is that two parts of two questions of this question? first is, is that what's going on here? trump appointed justices were more open to the idea of this procedural trick being used and this is the way it goes, or am i missing something? so the problem is we don't the counter the counter side of, that argument. right. we don't know whether a majority of democratic appointed in the same circumstance like justice garland, for instance, would behave the same. so i think two different things are true and. i think it's worth stressing both points. the first is i do th

you cannot talk about the trump years without acknowledge during his presidency he appointed, and barrettcomposition of the court because of those four years. not only in terms of outcome decisions but in the way the court operates. the new conservative majority is used to shift americans to the right so two-part, is that what is goinger on? they are open to the idea of this procedural use and therefore it's the way it goes or am i missing something? >> we don't have the counter side of the argument, you have majority -- >> i think two different things arein true. the first is, i do think there is something specific not about judicial philosophy or the constitutional interpretation but these particular justices that meant the brakes came on when brett kavanaugh replaces kennedy, one of the big things that haven't, they are not pendulum swinging so it can be more confident and then it marginalizes between 2018 and 2020 had been on the shadow docket with the more liberal justices but it is they are but part of it is the outside, it's how remarkably defensively uncountable the supreme court

speaking there to kimi barrett.apital tripoli continued tuesday after violence erupted on monday night. the fighting is the worst the capital has seen for months. it was triggered by the reported seizure of the commander of the 41m brigade by a rival militia. libyan politicians have called for calm and flights from tripoli's international airport have been suspended. we spoke to islam alatrash, a journalist in tripoli, who gave us an idea of what the last 2a hours have been like in the city. the situation now is ok. and we were so afraid of the clashes in different places, especially in southern tripoli, after they closed the airport and moved all of the flights to the international airport. so, many people was afraid about the situation in tripoli. now, the situation is ok and feeling better than yesterday. so, actually, it was one of the baddest days, especially after 2018. so, we was actually feeling safe after two hours, and the clash is back now and many, many families are afraid about the situation, but now, t

barrett prettyman courthouse in downtown washington, d.c. carrie, back to you. the idea of whether or not donald trump knew that the falsehoods he was sharing about the election were, in fact, falsehoods is something that his defense attorneys have suggested will be relevant and something that will be difficult for prosecutors to prove. what do you think? >> absolutely, the burden is going to be on the prosecutors to prove it. i think they have demonstrated so far, just in the indictment alone, that they have a lot of information to go on, that they think they're going to be able to make that case in court, but i also think that it's important to point out that the indictment and the charges here are not about what donald trump said. they're about what he and the others did. and so, i think the indictment is clear that it's not about speech. it's not about -- even if he -- whether he believed or not the things is he said, what matters in the terms of charged conduct is that they took actions to try to pressure different instruments of government at the state lev

. >>> joining us now, devlin barrett, frank figliuzzi and former u.s. attorney joyce vance.i want to pick up with rico. when you think of it, you think of organized crime. this is what the indictment reads. trump and the other defendants charged in this indictment refused to accept that trump lost and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of trump. that conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in fulton county, georgia, especially in other states. the scope of this, not just the number of people, but the number of places where it goes, i think, for a lot of folks, when they thought about a georgia indictment, i tailored to what happened in georgia. tell us what you see here and why it works in the rico indictment. >> the rico statute does give prosecutors broad powers to go after groups of people who commit specified types of crimes together. it's not simply limited to organized crime. although, that was its original and intended use. the statute, fe
