that was the constitutional court but on may 23 to go back to the constitutional court with that action this is the third time. >> so what is that pattern that the constitutional court in contrast with previous decisions that i remind my colleagues that these are asylum-seekers aping the impunity of latimer putin in article five clear but the fact of being the object in article six and then it is clearly pointed out with that identity document to provide such document. so anyone who doubts they were escaping that to radical action just look at the record it could not be more clear. the constitutional court now has allowed that action with the false drivers license and credit cards to change that identity of witness protection in this country when someone wanted to change their identity to escape the mob or the mafia and now they have action. so what is the driving force after first being part of an action being 19 years for his wife and imprisoned for their daughter? that is what the court found what is the driving of session? if there has been the investigation with no evidence how dee

twenty fifteen he's criticized her throughout he at one point threatened to take up before the constitutional court so they've always been political allies and enemies at the same time on policy but you have to take a kind of shakespearean outline right on this because this turned deeply personal at the very latest today when hosty who far said she simply won't be fired by somebody who is only tonsil because of him which actually i would challenge. but that certainly is his sentiment if this c.s.u. were to leave this union with anger marcos party she would no longer have a majority in parliament but there are others who might play ball with the greens just to mention one party but why this the whole migrant issue is a non-issue at the moment margaret numbers are falling so why has he chosen this issue now. to. nailed him so so closely to this and perhaps bring down the government. yes looking at the numbers i'm outta talking about a couple of hundred people that would be concerned potentially by being to this option of turning away at the border it doesn't really make sense this particular timing m

out in the course of the morning here in munich that they will appeal this were they at the constitutional court of germany and cots who are. now we have still the that the church is still working to pre-sentence the grounds of the case not only against beata chat about of course as well against the four other accomplices here we have word itself about one person less than three years another one i fully was obviously the main supporter of the terrorist group of about ten years in prison and imprisonment the front this is a trial that germany and made headlines around the world let's now take a look at what led to today's guilty verdict. throughout the years long trial the main defendant be outed often turned her back on proceedings as if the charges did not concern her membership of a neo nazi terrorist organization involvement in ten murders arson bomb attacks and robberies. but chipper has always known a guilty verdict could mean spending the rest of her life in prison. prosecutors say. bernhard ran a right wing underground terrorist cell for fourteen years in november twentieth levon the two

have actually paid for the privilege to do sorry lawyers are challenging the tax at uganda's constitutional court and people are mobilizing we can see them here they've turned out to protest in front of the chief magistrates court in the capital one uses solomon king summed up the attitude he's criticized the principle behind taxing every little thing from an already suffering economy so a corrupt government can get even more money to steal it's still early days the tax is only a couple of days old and we have to see how this constitutional court challenge turns up but we'll be tracking mash very interesting jerry thank you. in just over a month a symbolic faces a historic presidential election the most on the thirtieth of july will be the first in the southern african country since robert mugabe was removed from power in november but his legacy is far from over decades of violent land seizures of crippled the economy the two main candidates for the top job say they will repair this damage one of them is incumbent on gagra the man who watched it is already brought in some changes including revers

on june 21st, the constitutional court -- we're talking about migrants. these are asylum seekers, a family that was escaping the impunity of vladimir putin and his cronies. article 5 makes it clear that they shall not become available for criminal prosecution for article 6 of the protocol and it's pointed out that producing a fraudulent travel or identity document. so the protocol couldn't be clearer, and anyone who doubts they were escaping a tyrannical outlook against them, just look at the record. it couldn't be more clear. and the constitutional court has now allowed a c-6 action because they got false driver's licenses and credit cards. they wanted to change their identity. we have witness protection in this count win someone wants to escape and i want to ask, what is the driving force behind csig after first being part of an action that got 19 years for ig, r, 14 years in prison for his wife and 14 years in prison for their daughter. i mean, that's what the judge found. that's what the court found. what is the driving obsession here? when you say th

he went back to the constitutional court and another action. >> this would be the third time the constitutional court rngt -- these are asylum seekers, a family that was escaping the impunity of vladimir putin and his cronies. article 5 makes it clear that theshl not become available for public scrutiny, and then it is clearly pointed out that producing a fraudulent travel or identity document. so the protocol couldn't be cleared, and anyone who doubts they were escaping a tyrannical outlook against them, just look at the record. it couldn't be more clear. and the constitutional court has now allowed to be a mission. you see. >> he have witness protection in this country, when someone wants to explain their judged. that's another ranch in fortunate part of an action that got 14 years for igor, 14 years for his wife and 14 years in prison for their daughter. that's what the judge found, that's what the court found. what is the driving obsession here? when you say there's been an investigation and you found no evidence, how deep was that investigation? how much was looked into the russian connect

practically because as it looks like now if this verdict will prevail in the appeal in the federal constitutional court and cuts way here in germany i then it's very much likely that she will not leave prison for fifteen years or even will have to stay longer than doubt. there are other reactions in the courtroom coming from supporters of mrs chap has. followers that were also on the on trial here for supporters of the terrorist group because their verdicts were read it safely. lower than the one for mischief or for example the main person supporting the terrorist group most of all even for will be convicted obviously for about ten years of time being next of member of the support network there but others less than three years and there's even a chance that one of the. people sitting here in the courtroom accused ones would might even leave the courtroom today as a free month nothing this is a trial that brought to me and made headlines around the once let's take a look now at what led to today's guilty verdict. throughout the years long trial the main defendant beyond the chief often turns her back on

of strong words who at one point also threatened to take the german chancellor before the constitutional court and had to back down who was corrected by the german chancellor when he said that islam was not a part of germany that essentially he had to bet back down and this seems to be one time potentially too many but as you can hear from the language that i'm using we simply do not know what the outcome is until first steps before those microphones that mere fact that he's basically in a small circle of seize you function as they are discussing and simply by this sign language of the delegates who are still downstairs it's safe to say that this really is a story moment in the sea is use history and that at this moment in time until anybody goes on the record quite a lot is still possible. if you're just joining us reports are coming in that german interior minister horse they hope for who's also the leader of the bavarian c.s.u. party could be stepping down over disagreements with chancellor angela merkel's migration policies a over says the migration measures put forth by the chancellor do

women's constitutional rights did. that supreme court ruling sent a strong message, one women have been making for years and one we continue to make clear today. politicians have no business interfering with a woman's most personal decisions. unfortunately, many people on the right continue to ignore that message. unfortunately they have continued to push for damaging, extreme policies that ignore the supreme court and the constitution and women across the country. from day one president trump and vice president pence have made it clear that turning back the clock on women's health and reproductive rights is a top priority for them. the recently proposed harmful domestic gag rule on federal family planning funds that was designed to restrict access to health care for women interfere with the care provider's ability to talk about the full range of reproductive health services with their patients, and ultimately make it harder for women to exercise their health care choices and constitutional rights, and that is just the latest of so many

as the protests continued into the night outside the supreme court time and again the protests as chanted the word constitution what is striking about this demonstration on the steps of the court is well the majority of voters from the all of the generation of houma they're the ones who remember that the stifling of human rights and freedoms and democracy under the old congress regime the government hoped to ride this storm of protest but the opposition say this is the fight they must win for the sake of future generations. all right so let's speak now to tavy chain live for us in warsaw last we heard the judges decided to go back to work once effectively happened inside the court then who's in charge. that's a very good question and one merged none of us can really answer at the moment but the twenty seven judges returned to their offices despite being made redundant facing early retirement beginning that retirement today so they wanted to continue with this standoff they accuse the government of launching a purge of the supreme court of breaking constitutional law but what does the government think well i ha

he has a proven record protecting the constitution has not been afraid to court controversy. but, so they confirm him or something is this opportunity to motivate voters in the long-term election. joining me to a discuss, frank want and we also continue with the president's outside advisor has been inside the white house very beginning. two republican senators who arel pro-choice and who the left has been courting to oppose this nominee.rs can our viewers at fox tonight assumed that they have been consulted on this nomination, or is the president just confident that in the end it, they will vote tol confirm judge kavanaug? >> you know, senator collins madear it clear what the road mp is for confirmation. she said she wanted a judge that would adhere to constitution and the laws and she wanted someone who is going to respect major precedents in the court. if you look at kavanaugh's record, that's what you get.ce you get someone who's grapples with precedent, she has certainly given herself and other moderates in the senate some space. >> and they confirmed this nominee is best

court. the framers established that the constitution is designed to secure the blessings of liberty. stice kennedy devoted his career to securing liberty. i'm deeply honored to be nominated to fill his seat on the supreme court. my applause my mom and dad are here. i am their only child. when people ask what it's like to be an only child, i say, it depends on who your parents are. [laughter] i was lucky. my mom was a teacher and in the 1960s and 70s she taught history at two largely african-american public high schools in washington, d.c. mckinley tech and hd woodson. for example taught me the importance of equality for all americans. my mom was a trailblazer. when i was ten, she went to law school and became a prosecutor. my introduction to law came at our dinner table when she practiced her closing arguments. her trademark line was, "use your common sense. what rings true, what rings false?" that's good advice for a tour, and for a son. one of the few women prosecutors at that time, she overcame barriers and became a trial judge. the president introduced me tonight as judge kavanaug

ten years ago the supreme court recognizes that the constitution and its equal protection clause applied to the federal government. although discrimination have been argued, those arguments were -- at that point it time. this argument was not. nonetheless the court did not decide case on unconstitutional ground. government conceded a ms. endo was loyal and law abides. she wins her case because it interpreted the military regulations not to allow the government to continue to detain so called loyal citizens. what's interesting about the case, i think it's really a missed opportunity for the court to decide the important constitutional issues at stake. they instead go off an a tangent that can't be squared with a historic model. they do get her a victory in the large real sense in so far the court held up the opinion to tip off the white house that it was going to come down. it will be portrayed a loss. it waited and the white house getting ahead of the opinion finally decides to announce they will close the camp. fdr resisted his advisors who has been tell him to do it. at this point he s

well supreme court is the highest in the united states it focuses on major constitutional issues that's such a civil rights free speech and abortion the court upheld trumps travel ban last month preventing several preventing people from several mainly muslim countries from entering the u.s. of course nine justices a nominated by the president and then confirmed by the senate they serve for life so it's unusual for any president to appoint more than two or three with the retirement of anthony kennedy a swing vote of the many is thumbs nominee is expected to move the court to the right if republican controlled senate confirms the president's choice. plenty to discuss today and joining us to do so from austin texas sanford levinson a professor of government at the university of texas law school from washington d.c. kenneth chose to author of the supreme court yearbook and legal affairs blog post on justice and also in austin texas matthew mccovey acas an publican consultant and former aide to president george w. bush great to have you will hear a very warm welcome to you now for our intern

nonetheless, the court did not decide the case on constitutional grounds. because the government conceded miss endo was loyal and law-abiding, the court concluded she wins her case because it interpreted the military regulations not to allow the government to continue to detain so-called loyal citizens. what is interesting about the case is i think it is a missed opportunity for the court to decide the important constitutional issues at stake. they instead go off on a tangent that cannot be squared with the historical model and all this framework was intended to accomplish. iny do give her a victory the large, real sense in that the court held up the opinion to tip off the white house it was going to come down and it would be portrayed as a loss. so it waited. and the white house, getting ahead of the opinion, finally decides to announce they will close the camps. f.d.r. had resisted his advisors who had been telling him to do it. but at this point finally, he capitulates and says ok. cancel are announced they will arelosed -- the camps announced they will b

constitution aside, the legislative authority to us and it selected representative. they editorialize today, and i quote, cavanaugh has said that if confirmed to the supreme court his will be to the constitution as it was written, not to his personal preferences but that is precisely what the nation needs. another editorial appearing in west virginia, this from the daily mail said a conservative supreme court justice interprets the constitution for all, not just those on the left or those on the right. i believe judge cavanaugh truly understands the justice and the judge's proper role. i think no one but that better than the judge himself. i want to read a portion of the speech that he gave last fall. one overarching goal is to make judge in a more neutral and partial process in all cases, not just statutory interpretation. the american rule of law as i see it, and the judge cavanaugh's own words depend on neutral and impartial judges who say what the law is, not what the law should be her judges are umpires and at least should always strive umpires. in a perfect world, at least as i envision it, the outcomes would not often vary based solely on the background, politica

the guggenheim's constitutional fellows have become a great source of pride to me. the court and the historical society are the pillars on which constitutional decisions, past and present, are delivered to the public, for affirmation and discussion. the guggenheim fellows have spoken to the historical society in this before and after their fellowships were received. it is my pleasure to introduce simonesident of the john guggenheim foundation, eddie hirsch. [laughter] stand here while i give her history, ok? a little history about the president of the john simon guggenheim foundation. he has been our president since 2003, he is a great advocate for learning and for literature. eddie graduated from grinnell where he earned honors in both academic and athletic pursuits. already a poet and his college n to earn went o t a phd in folklore at the university of philadelphia. he taught for 17 years, at the university of houston, he is the author of nine books on poetry and is a prolific commentator on poetry. he has written columns for "the washington post." one of his books, which

court temple. it is not an academic institution. nine justices applied the constitutionto our society commit to our lives and families. courts have consequences. it didn't have to be this way. president trump could have nominated someone not off of the narrow list of those preapproved by far right organizations. we could be here discussing a nominee who was potentially someone with a wide open record who might command a bipartisan majority. instead we have someone who has a long record of being at the most conservative end of jurisprudence. we don't really know his full record. he was at the center of the bush administration. he has written hundreds of the opinions on the d.c. circuit court. the president taking his step of nominating a supreme court justice, we have a job to do as members of judiciary to dig into his record, to go through it thoroughly and demand the release of every single record that might be relevant so you might know what this next justice if confirmed might do with your rights, liberties and freedoms. should wenly then have a hearing and take a vot

editorialized today, and i quote, kavanaugh has said that if confirmed to the supreme court his allegiance will be to the constitution as it is written, not to his personal preferences. that is precisely what the nation needs come into court. another editorial and bring in west virginia today, this one from the charleston, well, from the daily mail said quote, a conservative supreme court justice interprets the constitution for all, not just those on the left or those on the right. i believe judge kavanaugh truly understands a justice and the judges proper role. and they think no one puts that than the judge himself from what to read portion of the speech that he gave last fall, and i begin quoting. one overarching goal for me is to make judging a more neutral, impartial process in all cases, not just at a jewelry interpretation.ca the american rule of law as i sit, and these are judge kavanaugh's own words, depends on neutral, impartial judges who say what the law is, not what the law should be. judges are umpires and at least should always strive to be umpires. any perfect world at least as ii envision it, and agai

constituting the supreme court, the constitution leaves to congress the matter of the judiciary. over two centuries congress has continued to update the federal judicial system with changes ranging from small tweaks to major innovations, to improve the efficient innovation of justice. congress must continue to exercise our vital responsibilities, including in hearing today. biannually, the judicial conference of the united states conducts a survey of judge ship needs across the federal courts. after the most recent survey, the congress released to recommend -- the conference recommended 57 new judge ships and that a temporary judgeships permanent judgeships. five of the new judges would be circuit judges on the u.s. circuit court of appeals for the ninth circuit, as well as 52 of the requested new judgeships being district seats. i want to recognize the hard work of the judicial conference and think them for their willingness to submit written testimony for this hearing. has a duty to examine these recommendations and determine whether off rising new judgeships is the best way to

we had a chance with our president to lock down this 5-4 conservative constitutional court for the next four decades. >> harris: congressman? >> that is why we elected president trump. >> harris: you say that there will not be a litmus test. he said that this will not be a question about roe vs wade. but you could look at the voting records, not the voting records, but the decision-maker records of these candidates on who had been in law in their careers. you could look at how they have fallen down on issues and whatnot. and probably have a pretty good feeling about where they come across. so, what do you think when you hear a republican senator, susan collins, say that she does need to know how they are going to fall on roe vs wade. what you think about the process about the process that the president plans ahead and how you keep her aboard? >> well, i hope that she stays on board. let's face it, she is not exactly been with our president or the republican party on quite a few issues. and, i would certainly rather have about the knot. but, if we are getting two or three democrats on bo

constitution but the process. looking forward to meeting with senators, being an independent jurist. i think most fair-minded people, not the agitators at the courtsut most americans watching him tonight if they see even a snippet of that, they are going to think he's not a fire-breathing dragon. he's not going to rip up the constitution and put women in jail. that doesn't strike most people. i think that image tonight at the courts hurts the democrats morning, noon, and nights. i don't like its attractive. i don't think those women out there tonight help the democrats at all. frank, your thoughts about what we heard tonight. apparently on another network tonight, cnn, rick santorum was criticizing brett kavanaugh. criticizing him. what is that all about? >> this country, this country needs civics. it's not taught in high schools. it's not taught in colleges. we need our next generation to understand the importance of the constitution and how this government operates. the longer that we have this discussion, it may not be about politics, but absolutely is about the next generation and to understand where they constitution matters, the bill of righ

constitutional boundaries are. that is where the rubber hits butroad in many cases, historically if you look back at the warren court there wasn't the idea of, we are bound by constitutional limits. it was almost like, how can we find an area in the constitution and weekend hang a hook, then we can have a very wide scope, moving things in a direction we think the constitution should go. do you try to look and understand those terms as they were understood by the people who ratified them, and that could be the framers, it could be, it depends on when an amendment was ratified when that relevant question is. but the idea that that is what we are looking at, not today will i read this. when i think due process i think something expensive and bro ad. wen we are reading laws, have to look at words as they were actually passed. we have to be careful not to redefine the terms. i think that would be a question that would ignite debate and i know justice scalia, just as riordan used to have it -- justice breyer used to have a debate, and that was one thing they would talk about, how broadly you can look at some of these thin

interested court is with the safeguard of the crown , the of our republic constitution of the united states. full days ago, justice anthony kennedy, and for me of his decision to take senior status on the supreme court, opening a new vacancy. for more than four decades, justice kennedy served our nation with incredible passion and devotion. i would like to thank justice kennedy for a lifetime of distinguishing this -- service. [applause] >> in a few moments, i will announce my selection for justice kennedy's replacement. this is the second time i have been faced with this desk. last year, i nominated judge neil gorsuch to replace the late great justice antonin scalia. [applause] i chose just as gorsuch because i knew that he, just like justice scalia, would be a faithful servant of our constitution. we are honored to be joined tonight by justice scalia's beloved wife.

firstly, on monday, the georgian constitutional court scrapped fines for marijuana use.an offence. 0pposition politicians have been behind the push for the change. this is what one said on facebook, "the fewer the reasons for the state to interfere in the private lives of adults by senseless and repressive laws, the less are the cases of abuse of power by the state. this serves well for universalfreedom". but members of the ruling georgia dream have called the move dangerous. rights activists had called the governments previous drug policy "hard—line". in may, thousands of people rallied for several days in the capital tbilisi against what they viewed as heavy—handed police raids in two popular nightclubs. police said they were cracking down on drug dealing. and that leads us to the second story, a standoff between liberal young people and conservative far—right groups. young people also saw those police raids as clubbers partied as an attack on their values, including freedom of sexuality. they then held a protest, that turned into a street rave. rayhan demytrie has mor

the opportunity to sell so the government is responsible for implementing the law and the constitution and the courts are responsible for overseeing that the implementation has taken place in accordance with the law and the constitution so the government and the courts can do so together i the results of the may twelfth election came as a shock to the ruling coalition led by prime minister betty it came in third contrary to its expectations a nationalistic alliance of mostly secular parties but led by shock cleric moch to the suburbs got the most seats fifty four of three hundred twenty eight in second place came an alliance of around groups. several parties cried foul alleging irregularities that included vote rigging glitches in new voting machines and destruction of ballots prime minister hyderabadi said security agencies had evidence of unprecedented violations on saturday the independent high electoral committee decided to start a manual recounting of votes only in areas where irregularities were reported that will begin to be and other provinces on jews that some party say that's not enough and
