knew could should not is not appropriate as a candidate and leave it at that the constitutional court also could disband the party which has happened three or four times in recent history and they've all been parties connected with the former prime minister and now in exile types in china what. the implications are i mean what's interesting is that not only that she decided to run but who or which party she decided to run for and it was the tire accent thai party which is a more democratic party it's one of the parties that said they won't join the military parties in any coalition and it's a party connected to toxins in awhile so. at even though her candidacy was. not approved it still shows some sort of leaning toward the more democratic parties in thailand be that the the military party's on the side possibly of the monarchy or britain certain persons within the monarchy. the pretty good type of iraq a type party maybe despair but it may not really matter because there are three parties right now closely connected to talk in china what and what they call the democracy party and the

that might lead you to think i don't like state courts or at a time constitutions. but what happened in ohio? the composition of the court changed. it's such a classic ohio story. i didn't go -- i didn't go from sharp left to sharp right, it went from center left to center right. the new ohio supreme court, the current ohio supreme court, didn't overall a single one of those rulings. but they're innovating a little less than they were in the 1990s. there's something to me about that story that's positive. we judges -- this is not our constitution. it's not our law. it's the people's constitution, the people's law. and letting the people have a say in who these judges are from time to time can be quite healthy. so i actually would say what i witnessed at the ohio side made me more confident that if you get even elected judges that are disconnected from what the people of that state want or think is appropriate for the role of the judge, they have an antidote. it's a really good question and the answer is complicated, as i think i've just proved.

election commission has agreed basically with that statement and is forwarding it on to the constitutional court in the court will decide if this party will be dissolved so what does this mean for the political future of tax and. yes well he backs this party officially he's not supposed to have any involvement he lives in exile avoiding jail for a variety of corruption related offenses so he's not supposed to have any direct involvement in effect if he is found to be involved in in organizing these parties having control over them that's grounds the grounds for dissolution as well so that is a problem but he's very much known of course by everyone in thailand that he is backing this party he still has his main party it has to be pointed out a running in the lake in the election that is poor thai the party that was in government when the last coup was staged in two thousand and fourteen and the military's been in power ever since so he still has that party ironically the reason that thai rocks the chart was set up was a backstop really bits because there is a danger that poor thai will be dissolv

that was the premise of the constitution itself, lots of famous -- the supreme court cases are about it. the point i want to make is the constitution operates on the content of the law. the next point is the constitution operates on the content of the law by saying what the law can't be. it says quite little about what the law is or has to be. overwhelmingly -- here i'm talking about congress similar questions can come up with respect to state law. but what we're mainly concerned with here is congress. overwhelmingly what the law is is up to congress. what the it's not is to a certain extent determined by the constitution. but, again, the constitution -- the constraints imposed by the constitution are relatively generous. notice, that suggests -- and i'm going to elaborate on this in a couple of moments. that suggests that because congress says what the law is and the constitution says what it's not, what congress has said is going to be the decisive question when it comes to the kind of things that come up under the rubric of selfabilitiability or insevere ability. that's the first b

both actions were in violation of the freedom of expression by the constitutional court of turkey. we had two court decisions, the first one was by the criminal court and the other was the constitutional court. that means, four years ago the courts could make decisions without getting orders from the government. as a reaction in 2014, the executive branch obtained legislative changes to take control of the judiciary. and a list of judges who were perceived to be opponents. i learned my name was on the list because of my views of judicial independence and my unwillingness to support the slate of government act judges in the judicial council elections. so, the government strategy was , to take over the turkish judicial council to create a sea of hope and complain judiciary and blacklisting of those opposed judges, later to become detained and the sentenced ones. so following the coup attempt in 2016, the turkish government dismissed me from my position as a civil judge. they also froze my bank account and canceled my passport. but as you guess many of my colleagues were detained and u

the case there the court upheld obamacare as constitutional, but made clear the majority of the court made clear it was not constitutional as an exercise of the commerce power in the constitution, so if that was the power upon which the government was going to rely, it would have been unconstitutional. however, the court then said it was constitutional under the taxing power. this is not the income tax found in the amendment, this is actually the taxing power in the original constitution. people forget there is a taxing clause, but the supreme court remembered it just in time for obamacare. upheld obamacare based upon the fact that the individual mandate is essentially a tax because it collects a penalty and run by the irs and the like so it looks like a tax, feels like a tax, people pay money to the government, close enough, it looks like a tax. so they upheld obamacare on that basis. subsequent to that the tax cuts and jobs act of 2017 tax reform bill of last year passed and congress zeroed out the penalty for not getting the insurance. so the individual mandate was essentially zero

defendant-oriented injenkss, this means that if the government wins, if the court -- if a court says this statute is constitutional, another right holder can go into court and, in fact, in most jurisdictions district court rulings don't even have stare decisis effect so another right holder could conceivably even go into the very same court, bring the very same claim and would not be precluded by that first ruling. no matter how many times the government wins, such rulings would not bind, would not preclude other right holders. and even if the government were to win at the circuit level where at least the ruling would have stare decisis affect within that circuit, such a victory would not preclude right holders in other circuits from continuing to pursue their claims. but now what if the plaintiff wins? if courts can give nationwide defendant oriented injunctions, then if any plaintiff wins anywhere in the nation, then all right hold everies stand to benefit. so whereas the government gets no preclusion no matter how many times it wins, a single victory by any plaintiff in any court could december positively settl

important factor we want to know about that on monday because that will have to go through the constitutional court but there is a real possibility now that the punishment could go much further than simply ruling the princes in eligible and weigh in what implications does this have for taksin shinawatra who backs this party. yes well he was the one that tours ousted in the coup when he was prime minister back in two thousand and six sorry still very much influential in thai politics backing this party as you mentioned also a much larger party time which was ousted in the most recent coup in two thousand and fourteen and the reason he set up this tie rocks a chart party which nominated the princess as its candidate to become prime minister was really a case of hedging his bets because his main party per thai is also facing the prospect of dissolution because some of its key leadership are also facing legal challenges if they're found guilty of some of those charges the party could also be dissolved so the chart was a bit of a back up also a way of spreading support around to try to win as many seats

there has never been a supreme court, there hadn't been one under the 1st constitution of the united states, the articles of confederation. precedent for a supreme court for the state supreme court's. it was not clear how much power this institution would actually have. some of the founders, like alexander hamilton, hoped it would exercise the power of judicial review. he expressed this in the famous federalist 78 where he made an argument for an independent supreme court whose members would serve during good behavior, which is the language of the u.s. constitution, which means for life, unless impeached. to as long as it would love serve, unless there was a reason out.are forced so, hamilton was making an argument for a powerful court at the same time he knew that many people were worried that the court might have too much power. so, in that very same essay, federalist 78, hamilton not only argues for judicial review, he also wants to put people's minds look, don'taying, worry, this will be the least dangerous branch. those are the words he actually uses. he says the supreme court wi

legality of conscription, the court issued a case in divisive hell, upholdingc a sweeping injunction against the united mine workers for interfering with the constitutional rights of personal liberty and private property that inhered in employers and antiunion employees. according to the new republic, the case would "confirm the popular feeling that a majority of the supreme court are endeavoring to enforce their own reactionary views of public policy in direct opposition to the more lightened views prevailing in legislators and among the public." no wonder that progressives proved unenthusiastic about defending the rights of dissenters through constitutional litigation in the courts. developments over the following months led a few progressives to revise their views. 1918, president wilson endorsed the sedition act amendments to the espionage act, which explicitly empowered the government to suppress disloyal speech. the bill for bade all disloyal, profane, scurrilous or abusive language about the government of the united states, the constitution, the armed forces and the american flag. significantly, it also prohibited advocacy of any curtailment of pr
