congress and crenshaw -- congressman crenshaw chairs of this appropriation committee. chairman crenshaw: this hearing will come to order. first of all, let me welcome justice breyer and justice kennedy. thank you for being here today. i know both of you have testified before our subcommittee and we appreciate you coming back and being with us again today. we all look forward to this time to have an exchange. not often does the legislative branch and the judicial branch get to talk to each other. so, we look forward to that. i think all of us know that a fair and impartial judiciary is very much a cornerstone to our democratic system of government. so the fact that you are here today, i think is important. i think the work you do is obviously very important. and, not only you resolve disputes between individuals but also between executive branch and the legislative branch. to do that, you need the respect of the citizens and i think you have that. i think you also give respect to the citizens in their view of what is right and what is fair. that is important as well. so

chairman crenshaw: yes. thank you both. well, thank you. you know, when you talk about educating the public, the question always comes up, people suggest that maybe the courts should televise oral arguments. that people could see, firsthand, what goes on. and i know the court has historically rejected that. i think it was justice sotomayer before she went on the bench thought it would be a good idea to televise oral arguments and once she was on the bench, she changed her mind and thinks it's not a good idea. so i just wondered, is any -- is any -- do you sense any change? do you think there will be a day when oral arguments will be on television? do you think that's good or that's not good? in the context of educateing the folks. could you all comment on that? justice kennedy: well, the question, do i think there will be the day? it sounds as if we're more or less behind the times. chairman crenshaw: no, just a matter of history perform today you'd probably reject that. justice kennedy: if you had english-style debating debate and you were

here in oconee county in the far northwest, they work with sheriff mike crenshaw, who says part of the problem is a culture of silence. >> with being in the deep south, traditionally when you think of domestic violence, it was for so many years, it's been a topic that no body wanted to discuss. you don't need to talk about this with your pastor, or if you did you were told to go back home. ya'll need to work this out. we've got to change this culture. it's not going to be overnight. >> back to back murder-suicides over the 4th of july weekend in 2012 were a turning point for this quiet, rural community. >> it's this brick home right here... >> this one? >> yes, this is the incident location where marge, the victim, in the summer of 2012 was murdered by her husband, and then he committed suicide inside the home. marge putnam was shot by her husband of 38 years after she decided to leave him. >> i think she probably thought she had reached the point where she was strong enough to stand up to him. years, earlier years, i think she did whatever he wanted her to do. >> marge's family says t

the crenshaw line which is a line that will serve the crenshaw district, engelwood, los angeles international airport and surrounding communities. another project is the purple line that will provide a high-capacity high-speed dependable alternative for those traveling between communities such as miracle mile beverly hills, century city and westwood. angelineos have repeatedly voted to raise local taxes to help build these local transportation projects, but l.a. metro had not been allowed to prioritize hiring local workers. los angeles unemployment remains higher than the national average and people living in south los angeles who are directed by the transit projects, their tax dollars are paying the vast majority of these projects and businesses and homes are being impacted by the construction but don't benefit from the jobs that these transit jobs will create. while i was back in my district, i heard numerous commissioners how crenshaw boulevard will be closed for several days because of the light-rail construction. this closure is directly impacting businesses trying every day to provide g

and that left a county, sort of an orphan county, crenshaw county as a rural county south of montgomery. they explained that what they did is they took part of former senate district 26 took it out to make a way to connect the rural crenshaw county to the rest of senate district 25 which was already predominantly rural. >> solicitor general just said if you look at that district it has a very bizarre shape and the effect of the bizarre shape is to pull in predominantly african-american areas and exclude predominantly white areas. is he correct on that? >> actually, i respectfully disagree with him about that. as you look at the comparison map, it's in the joint appendix on 197. you can see a comparison between a former district and the current district. and what you'll see is up at the right -- i'm sorry. the left part of montgomery county. that's where the former district used to be. it was part of senate district 25 that came into the middle of that district sort of a -- kind of came in the middle of it. and what the drafters did here is they drew the lines closer to the city of montg

bountyon, doris crenshaw and our own very colleague john lewis, who helped lead a march for better equality for all of america. but it was very very hard to celebrate -- it was a very sober mood in the crowd as we realized that the voting rights of americans particularly african-americans were under threat 50 years after the civil rights -- voting rights act was signed. and as the president said in his remarks, quote, right now in 2015, 50 years after selma there are laws across the country designed to make it harder for people to vote. as we speak, more of such laws are being proposed. meanwhile, the voting rights act, the culmination of so much blood so much sweat and tears, the product of so much sacrifice in the face of violence, the voting rights is weakened and subject to political rankor. as we think of those martyrs like james earl cheney, andy goodman, michael shwerner, it is difficult to deal with the reality like wisconsin, has joined the map of shame and passed one of the strictest voter i.d. laws in the country. . wisconsin has been in a battle, a battleground fighting this per

or crenshaw, l.a., pick a city whose parents -- the parents knows their child is going to enter a middle school or high school next year where 85 or 90% of the kids are failing? what do you say to that parent waking up every day knowing they have limited option because of the zip code, they have to send their kid to a certain place, what do you say to that parent who wants something different? the problem with approach and responsibility we have to the kids is there is no sense of urgency with respect to the needs of that parent. it's all like numbers on a page. but all of these stories, all of these individual stories, these individual challenges, the individual frustrations to these parents, they matter. and for us to act like that it's okay for us to plan the plan and study the study and debate the debate, that doesn't work for parents on a practical basis. so one thing that i think we should do, the reason why educational choice is so important, it gives us an opportunity to meet parents where they are today, deal with the sense of urgency, the urgency of needs the parents have today
