not until 1924 that all native americans become citizens of the united states but the vast majority, tizenship is for the first time a uniform definition of citizenship and the amendment goes on to say no state can deny to any of these citizens the privileges or immunities of citizens. back to the question of intent. what is the original intent saying, referring to the privileges or immunities of citizens. there is a tremendous array of a citizens opinions about that. some people including the supreme court thought they didn't amount to much. most rights came from states, being a citizen of the united states didn't amount to anything. others said privileges and immunities good to all sorts of things, the right to education, all sorts of rights which over the course, there was recently a federal district court case out of michigan where they pulled literacy is a fundamental part of being a free american, the schools of detroit are so terrible people are being denied a basic right of american citizenship, the right to be educated and the state has to do something about that. that is a f

gore opinion that citizens do not have a right to vote for president of the united states, and what that means for us as citizens, how that's been reflected in the laws that have been passed by congress and by state legislatures since the case has been decided, and what, if anything, we can do about this reality that we actually don't have a right to vote. >> great. pam, do you want to start? everybody just take one last minute. >> so the backdrop to this is the supreme court in a case that upheld the exclusion of women from the franchise in 1875 declared itself unanimously of the opinion that the constitution doesn't confer an affirmative right of suffrage on anyone. most of what the constitution says is phrased in the negative, you can't deny people the right to vote on account of race, you can't deny people the right to vote on account of gender or inability to pay a poll tax or the like. i actually think that, as is true of a number of other rights that are not enumerated in the constitution directly, we do from long practice have a constitutional right to vote. a different supreme c

i was an undercover nypd in 199s plaguing citizens in the united states. joe biden, under a bill sponsor ed by then bill clinton, introduced this "mass incarceration" that we clearly saw thousands of people that were taken into custody as it relates to the crack epidemic. moving forward, in this present day, facebook, which owns instagram has now flagged this post as false. joe biden clearly stood by this agenda and it's problematic because we're not getting out the accurate information to the public and this is causing people to leave social media platforms such as facebook and go to places like parler that represent conservative agenda and values.

and in some ways 2010, citizens united replaced bush v.gore as a rallying cry at least politically politically at least. but bush v. gore endures. for many of us. and just i think people have stopped thinking about it, or stopped asking about it i will give a speech somewhere, as in just last summer in connecticut and the first question was, what about that bush v. gore. so it endures, for folks mainly on the left. but we are here today, to take into account both sides, and look at not just what happened back then, but how the ruling has reverberated through the years. and joining me now, i will start with my immediate left here, judith brown diana's neck. she was on the ground in florida and has been on the ground ever since to ensure voting rights and next to her we have, -- university of california law professor, and a prolific writer on election law, just this morning he said i sent to more pieces that i had just written commemorating bush v. gore and probably rick your name if we do wish big or if we look it up your name comes up in a

i happen to debate him on "citizens united." he knows how it works at the supreme court and it is quite surprising to see him on this brief but again he likes attention. i am sure the president saw him last night on fox where he was saying that he thought the court would take this case up. >> when kevin mccarthy says the day official college officially votes, he does not accept joe biden is the president. does congressman mccarthy, i guess he does not care. >> all right, he just wanted to have another database how paralyze -- >> of course, i am going to abide by the electoral college and certified and cementing all of the state that they have presented the election result and ail of this legal processes, they have been gone through at that point. the motion that well, we have to wait for everything to proceed, that'll have been in the past. it is already in the past right now. that'll cement the fact that this is a done deal. it is surprising to hear kevin mccarthy to say that but not given the fact that we know how tight the pr

she is a citizen and has a long residency within the united states. until this story about the efforts to try and suppress goldman was the problem with the fact that she was a citizen through her husband. what happens? states the united successfully denaturalize his her. how? husbanduralizing her and breaking citizenship. you can do this by fraud, misrepresentation during the process, or prove lack of attachment to the principles of the constitution. husband'sk her citizenship through misrepresentation and she is de naturalized by 1909. what happens as she is able to say they just have to find grounds to deport her. under the exclusion deportation laws of the time there are limits to deportation. under the law it is three years after entry that you can deport. the law changes to expand, in 1917, 2 five years and then there is a change in the law in 1918 under the anarchist exclusion act which provides for anarchists atr any time. no matter how long they have been in the united states. j edgar hoover was just getting rounding up radicals and attempting

"citizens united" himself, rejected the case? well, i guess it makes sense. tart taking constitutional rights away from citizens, what's next, taking constitutional rights away from corporations? another state where the president lost his fight against democracy is ariona, which certified joe biden's victory over a week ago. but last night, the arizona republican party retweeted a pro-trump account that said, "i am willing to give my life for this fight." adding in their retweet, "he is. are you?" arizonans, the g.o.p. is asking you to give your life to "stop a fraud" and a "stealing of an election," despite the fact that their own lawyer lawyers in aria court said: "we are not alleging fraud. we are not alleging anyone is stealing the election." so, don't do it. there are only two good reasons to die in arizona: grand canyon selfie and choking on a turquoise belt buckle. i don't know how it got in your mouth but i understand. elsewhere, desperate attempts to steal the election are happening deep in the heart of texas, led by texas attorney general and tintin

the citizens united decision. my ocpponent david purdue who i too much of a coward to debate me literally sells meetings. we have to pass campaign finance reform to return government to the business of the people. >> we've seen a lot of people focussing on georgia given everything that's at stake including a lot of artists, big figures, you can go to actor and celebrity instagram accounts and they are all talking about georgia because it matters to them. we got a little two chainz urging people to register to get registered. >> this is 2 chainz. i want to see everybody vote. i want to know that everybody vote. what i'm doing is teaming up with head count and i'm giving away a free tesla. all you have to do is go to heat count.org/2 chainz for your chance to win. that's it. let do it. >> do you have any indication of whether all the new interest eyes on georgia in the special run off is helping turnout where we've seen early turnout surge or specifically helping your campaign and democrats or do you just not know?

aggressive in the defense of democracy, getting rid of gerrymandering, starting the process of undoing citizens united doing all those things hmp we have to get rid of the filibuster. because 50 isn't going to be enough. because we have -- -- is there a question there? >> no, go ahead, congressman. >> i was going to say that the reason why i start with optimism is i think it's worth keep manage mind that the overwhelming majority of american people joet voted for joe biden, they voted to preserve the house, and the senate, but the senate doesn't represent the people. it represents the states, right? and i think we just need to reck needs that as long as we govern in a way that embraces. >> pierre:cy democracy, and we are going to be okay. the hr 1, hr 4, the voting rights act, that is the commitment to double down on democracy. >> congressman sean casten, thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> thank you, my pleasure. >> well. >>> well, i said, it's up to georgia on january 5th, if democrats jon ossoff, and rafael win their senate elections on that day, the democrats will control the senate and t

i think this kind of speaks in a way to why so many people are still peeved after citizens united let'sy money and influence moves through politics and that this money can be used for things that are rather opaque at first. >> yeah, i'm hoping now i put the word "kind of" in front of slush fund because i don't want to get anyone angry at me. but yeah, that's what knees leadership pacs are all about. they exist in a world that isn't really overseen, and so for that reason -- and their purpose is to spend to influence other members of congress. but what really happened is other members of congress saw their leadership using these pacs and they thought i've got to get in on it and they created their own leadership pacs. and now lots of folks in congress have leadership pacs and they use them for all kinds of things you would normally never be able to use campaigns for. so is this an issue that people should be concerned about? maybe. but then you go back to the whole point of if they're clicking through and checking the boxes willingly and making those donations then there's an argument th

i happened to debate him on citizens united. did not find him particularly persuasive in his debate. he is hard right, and he is a former law clerk so he knows what -- how it works at the supreme court. and it's quite surprising, actually, to see him on this brief. but again, he likes attention. so, i -- i'm sure the president saw him, last night, on fox, where he was saying he thought the court would take this case up. >> yeah. yeah. i mean, dana, when house republican leader kevin mccarthy says that even next monday, the day after -- or the day the electoral college officially votes, he still won't accept that joe biden is the president-elect. i mean, the electoral college is what kids literally learn about in grade school along with, by the way, good sportsmanship and the concept of winning and losing. does mccarthy -- i guess, he doesn't care. to him, this looks fine because, to the president's supporters, that looks fine. >> i mean, look, if you just want to have another data point on how politically perilous it is for repu

they are considered citizens of their tribal sovereignty is not of the united states it's not until 1924 that all become citizens but the vast majority there's now for the first time a uniform definition of citizenship and then the amendment goes on to say first of all no state can deny to any of these citizens the privileges or immunities of. now here we get back to the question of intent. what is the original intent of referring to the privileges or immunities, there's a tremendous array of opinions about that. some people including the supreme court thought they didn't amount to very much. most of the rights came from the states, not from the federal government. that it actually didn't amount to anything. others said no, it covers all sorts of things, the right to an education for example. all sorts of rights and over the course of -- it's interesting just recently a federal district case coming out of michigan where the literacy is a fundamental part of being a free american. it's a 14th amendment decision saying the schools of detroit are so terrible people are being denied a basic

the american civil war, the priority of not only our congress and the president, but the citizens of the unitedtates, was to reunite the country and make us once again a strong union. for this reason, many confederate officers would not be charged with the role of treason. in fact, we see many of those officers actually have roles and occupied positions within ulysses s. grant's administration. we are looking at the american flag of the united states. this flag is from the american civil war. and tradition has that this flag actually hung in jefferson davis' cell to remind him on a daily basis of the crimes he had committed against his former federal government. the history of jefferson davis is a very complex one, and one that we here at the casemate museum try to look at all aspects of. this cell door is probably one of the most important are the from jefferson davis' incarceration here at fort monroe. it is from behind this very door that he would look out and realize that the american civil war was over and that the confederacy was no longer part of the historic narrative of the united stat
