district court judge for illinois. i filed closure on two more district court judges that will vote on in the coming days and we will work hard to get as many's confirmed as possible. bottom line we've got a lot of , work ahead of us and as a senate, as a party, democrats are ready to get to work right away. senator murray. >> thank you, mr. leader. i will just cut right to the chase. majorities are going to change hands. but one thing that remains the same here in the senate and is the appropriations process will be partisan -- bipartisan. here in this chamber we have passed our bills out of committee with overwhelming bipartisan support. these are bills that are ready to be signed into law and they could go to the president's desk today if they had to. now, i want to make it clear. it doesn't matter who the president is. my position has not changed. as i have said many times over, there is no reason for further delay or to impair government agencies by forcing them to operate on autopilot for months to come. we shoul

and page 2a the district court says that's the norm. so in addition to things like nonwaivability and liqdad damages, mr. chief justice, we thk should be the same record the court already heard this and thinkhe court can look at ijust based on it. in terms of waivability, we cited in our brief anmy opening, the n.r.a. and osha, rights aren't waivable, the nlrb certainly thinks those rights are not waivable and sdo osha and those are workplace rights. i just cited in the brief the rkplace ones throughout the u.s. code nonwaivable rights. we could talk endless about article 3. i don't think that's waivable ther and we can talk about who is publianwhy that's in there but allin of separation of powers issues. no o tnks we start supporting burdenf proofs into tie 3 rights. and then just on the bit about sort of the policies of the act after encino, half the statute is exemptions and by defitn it's more likely than not an employee is exempt, that means the nature of the employment is suchhat the employer can't hire more workers because if ther

that's the same for the lower court judges and appeals court and district court and also for the supreme court. what -- i mean what should the strategy be if that is the case and you have got all these folks as you just noted, waiting for confirmations, if they don't have republican support or maybe -- because if i'm the republicans, i'm not going to give republican support to any of the judges. right? that are waneth waiting in line. -- waiting in line. i know it would be the proper thing to do. >> i would love to see us go back to the time that the justices were actually confirmed by the majority of the senate as opposed to the totally split party line votes. but i do think that, you know, there's more likelihood of having some republican support for these lower court judges. and i know can be i think the white house has been really working, you know, to expect -- and prepare for this lame duck session. regardless of who won thepresidency. i think with respect to justice sotomayor though, it would be really very difficult at this late date, we are into november, to, you know, be able t

do they go into federal district court or do something much more immediate, much more substantial that> should go to the supreme court right away unless merchan stops this farce from continuing. you are absolutely right, mark. the supremacy clause means a state is utterly incapacitated under the constitution from interfering in the transition and the actions of president trump to get his administration up and to protect the united states and the presidency. the state has a business there. the supreme court should act it could act in two ways. it could take immediate if the intermediary state court does not put a freeze on it. throughout president trump's term in office. or, i would say in addition to it you use the common law writs and make application to the supreme court. both for the way the supreme court usually handles this under a rule that says if you have an immediate harm it's called collateral order rule you can have even without a final judgment because there could be harmed. but combine that with common-law ritz. as you said the other night the supreme court has inherent po

first black federal district court. she argued ten cases in the supreme court and won nine of them. that is a record come nowhere near. so she obviously she played a significant role in the brown litigation with thurgood marshall. justice jackson grew up in miami, attended private public i'm sorry. she graduated from harvard. radcliffe with a bachelor's in government and graduated from harvard's law school in 96. after law school, she had three clerkships that's become the tradition in my day was to was pretty much everything but these days get three including one with justice stephen breyer here at the court in addition to her professional experience in private practice she had other forms of public service. she worked in the united states sentencing commission for three years as a federal public defender, three years here in d.c. she returned to the u.s. sentencing commission and ten she served on the u.s. court for the district of columbia from 2013 to 2021 and president appointed her to the d.c. circuit. and 2021. she was there long enough to a cup of coffee, basically. and that

this time, the focus was on the line of argument dismissed by the district court. a need to protect human rights. in our case, it was the right to life and the right to private life. so that's articles to an age of the european convention on human rights. we said these violation of these human rights are so says here that this triggers the duty of care on the side of the government in order to prevent this potential catastrophic harm. the coach ruled in favor of the agenda for the 2nd time stops. maps, homeless illustrates messages from the articulate t h and the duke c n t. there's lots of nonsense and lots of stuff to minister says, said c, u n t dash to the celebration we sold today. and as once again, the government's appeals. this time agenda's case will be judged by the highest court in the netherlands. the supreme court hearing the gun in may 2019 and just send us the states appeal was rejected for the final time agenda had one marion now has the governments and it was a crucial verdict. put an evidence a robe yet, and this has been ministers to climate, an

the hearing started at the district court of the hey, in april 2015 by that agenda had been joined by 886 co plaintiff's. if you as a judge to you, young people, students, ok kinds of people, that's what you like. please help. i think that makes a difference, that you see, it's not just for one person or one and you, it's for all people from the allow me to send for meaning. but the folder from the, from the ad. and even if it's older, the whole on the tag, on mistakes out of mere hastings the rest with dana belong in fact. and they'll say donald, that has to change and eat lunch or stop. i'm just picking up these bags. awesome. um, you obama from the under the legal principal of gigi. okay. no one can create changes for others. if those changes can be reasonably prevented. brought to argued as not to meet some degree targets for reducing emissions in the face of dangers, climate change. the dutch government was failing and his duty of cat acting unlawfully to one slates on the judges reach that decision in columbus claim or policy for fire or life. the past events that will be delaye

let's bring into that boston who's outside the districts court in the have. what do these organizations that hope to achieve more pressure on the dodge government to, to hold all weapons transports to israel. and this also includes jewel jewel for those basically use for civilian use, but also for military use. and the other thing that the organization c, a ones and these are kind of thing, and organizations, jewish organizations, and organizations sales, the ones that governments immediately stuff all trace relations with the legally occupied parts of the side. so these are a 2 demands that they have put on this trial this morning. it's website any minute now. and this is basically coming from orders that we've heard before in the hey, somebody from the highest international for the international sort of justice rules earlier this year. that that's the sort of thing an occupation is the legal and that's all the $700000.00 surplus have to be removed immediately. so basically all this trial and also on the genocide case, that was a house at the same court. we

i think that is particularly true for the district courts in the district of columbia which of courseurt where a lot of litigation against the government is brought and defied and allowed donald trump to fill vacancies in the district court and the district of columbia which is really a lot of litigation for the government that would be really, really bad. >> speaking of really, really bad, trump has had john sauer, he argued the presidential immunity case, in fact he was a lawyer who is asked if the president could be criminally prosecuted and here is his answer, take a listen. >> could a president who ordered them to assassinate a political rival was not impeached. >> if he were impeached, he would be convicted first >> your answer is no? >> my answer is qualified yes. >> what you make of this, molly, what are your thoughts on this nomination? this is the lawyer that is going to represent the federal government. >> at least he is a lawyer, some of these cabinet members are not, rfk jr. is not a doctor. this is where we are and i think there are, there's only so many opportunities fo

so these charges, unsealed today, in the us district court in manhattan, two of those people, who are charged in this plot, have been arrested, they were presented in court and have been ordered detained until trial. , remains at large in iran. think we have a statement from the fbi director, who says this is part of trying to expose iran's continued brazen attempt to target u.s. citizens including president-elect trump who criticized the iranian regime. dana? >> that is really scary stuff. thanks for bringing it to us, evan, we will be right back. >>> the vision is there but the game plan is not. that's what one source says about president-elect trump's tariff strategy. as a candidate of course, we heard him talk a lot about tariffs, his numbers shifted here and there but he pledged to slap a 60% tariff on all goods coming in from china, cars made in mexico, he floated a 100 or 200% tariff and then at 10% tariff on all other imports. let's talk about this with business reporter matt egan and kayla, they have new reporting on how trump intends to carry this out. as you just heard, we

agreement on climate science on the specific amount, therefore it has cancelled the original district courtn. we have had a reaction from shell and friends of the earth. shell said it was pleased with the quite's decision and aims to become a net zero company by 2050. friends on the earth have said this is a marathon and not a sprint, and the race is not over yet. what it may be alluding to there is the possibility to appeal, so they are studying the judgment, going through this extensive ruling before deciding to appeal. if that happens, it will go up to the netherlands supreme court, the highest court, and a final verdict could still be years away. earlier i spoke to someone who helped to shape the original case, which was taken by the environmental organisation friends of the earth. laurie van der burg, now works for oil change international, and gave me this response to the court's ruling. while the ruling is obviously a setback, i am while the ruling is obviously a setback, iam not while the ruling is obviously a setback, i am not that concerned about it creating an unhelpful precedent

so there's still a lot of bad district court nominees, but the circuit courts, paul, are really whereke about in the haas segment actually, there's so many regulations, biden era regulations, trump era, you know, upcoming rules and regulations that are going to get challenged through mitigation in the these courts. and as you know, the supreme court doesn't take that many cases. they take about 5% of all the cases that are appealed the them. paul: right. >> so many of these answers come from the circuit courts. pallone: -- paul: well, and, kim, one of the con that that dictions here and maybe you can explain it is the president-elect sent out a bullet saying, do your job, senators, be there. but did he talk to his vice presidential nominee, j.d. vance, who issued, actually, a pretty testy response himself to the initial criticism and said, well, i'm working on a lot more important things here in the transition. and then -- and, by the way, essentially implied that the judge would have been confirmed anyway. >> well, first of all, that's not true. if those senators had shown up as coll

on the judges, there's nothing we can do to stop the district court judges. win is preventing certain court judges, most of those cases don't get taken off the supreme court. one circuit george -- circuit court judge went through, a real problem. republicans in their hands. joe manchin and kirsten sinema agreed to vote with republicans. that the on the way to block circuit court as well. democrats have been confirmed as well. this is a favorable deal for republicans. brian: chuck schumer, might not be as good a deal as he claims it is for democrats. that's what everybody does when dealmaking, claim you got the best deal. your calling mike rounds, introduced a bill to abolish the education department. listen. >> eliminate the federal department of education. the vast majority of the decisionmaking back to the states and tribes and recognizing there are a number of programs the department of education has that a lot of people feel are important like special education. we spent $16,000 per student per year. it hasn't made a difference. if you take a look, math ha

the district courts were the first lines of defense in many cases issuing what then attorney generalned about, nationwide injunctions that prevented the policies from taking place and being implemented. >> it seems like we should hold out hope that they will do what they are supposed to do regardless of who the judges are. the reality is that independent and apart from these judgeships we are talking about, the looming prospect of trump 2.0 is shaping decisions in ways not really seen before. i'm talking particularly about january 6 defendants and those who have been convicted of crimes. there are two judges who have already delayed sentencing over the assumption they will just get pardons from donald trump. can you talk about how unusual that is for judges to preemptively assume it is pointless to convict somebody of a crime. >> i'm not aware of an analog but before we condemn those judges and say they are just throwing up their hands, i want to provide a counter view of what may be going through their minds. the courts have been entirely overwhelmed by january 6 and the caseload it

the district court denied her petition. now, two plus years later, her appeal reached the supreme court. she challenged the legality of the government incarceration of her because she was japanese ancestry. part four, the 1944 decisions. two months later, on december 18, 1944, the u.s. supreme court upheld by a vote of 6-3, the constitutionality of fed korematsu's conviction for violating the exclusion order. the court also that day held unanimously that the government had no legal authority to imprison loyal americans based solely on their japanese ancestry. conveniently, on the day before the court announced its decision in endo, the u.s. army general heading the western u.s. command, issued a proclamation -- it revoked, effective two weeks hence, the orders that had resulted in the wartime incarceration of japanese american citizens. it decreed that these evacuees could return to their homes. >> we will now hear argument, case 22, korematsu versus the united states. mr. long? >> mr. chief justice, and may it please the c

in the district of columbia where all of these cases are situated, the courts have been entirely overwhelmedand the caseload that it has brought upon these judges. that means for other litigants, they are having to wait longer to have motions disposed of or to go to trial and it has literally clogged up the federal courts in d.c. so if i'm a judge, thinking through what my caseload looks like, who else is waiting for trial, i might not want to use judicial resources right now on a case where i know the defendant is going to get pardoned. particularly if it means delaying justice for someone else and if it means calling in jurors whose efforts are only going to be futile several weeks to months from now. think about how that affects potential jurors out there in d.c., to see 12 of their peers stand in judgment of someone only to have it wiped clean later. it doesn't really inspire confidence in the concept of jury service, which as you and i know, next to voting, is one of the most elemental things about our democracy. >> yeah, and i wonder how broad the scope of pardons will be. donald trump

federal district court with trial courts at the bottom and the federal court of appeals in the middle. so, we have 12 geographically organized federal courts of appeals, as well as a specialized court to hear certain matters. when you hear about the ninth circuit, the d.c. circuit judge, the fourth circuit, formerly known as the court of appeals, these are the appellate courts. host: how many are there and how many picks to the appellate courts does the president usually get? guest: i believe there are 12 geographically organized courts of appeals, as well as the so-called federal circuit, which handles intellectual property and claims against the government, i believe. host: each one of those has about how many judges? guest: there's a wide variation. the first circuit has maybe five? the next is 29, i believe? it's quite a variation. the mean is in the 10 to 15 range, but don't hold me to that. so, right now there are only five announced vacancies among the 170 or so active judgeships on the federal court of appeals. there might be some more vacancies arising. far fewer right now th

the district court and the fourth circuit, intermediate appeals court, i think they got it right. virginia was relying on outdated data. what we found in the clients that we represented showed that these were naturalized u.s. citizens who may be at one point were not citizens and indicated as much to the dmv, but ultimately were naturalized, became citizens, and registered. virginia is relying on outdated information to potentially identify ineligible voters and remove them from the rolls we think in violation with federal law. the good news is in virginia there is same-day voter registration so anyone wrongfully removed from the rolls can vote in person on election day and register at the polling place. that is not the case in every state. we challenged similar programs removing naturalized citizens in alabama, texas, elsewhere. i think that it is a real concern when states are using bad data and removing eligible american citizens from the voter rolls. host: talk about the distinction between intimidation and oppression. guest: voter intimidation is a form of voter suppression.
