his thin guest: first of all, you have to distinguish between judicial ethics and the ethics that apply to other people, politicians and executive branch officials. we are tagamet judicial judges where we had gone a very bright line. none of this is a ambiguous or unclear line in terms of conduct lower court judges live according to these rules. these injustices lived according to these. now, you can attack now you want. i'm an independent work i support many things that president obama has done. i just zero support how he is done them, but you, can attack me personally, but it doesch not change the fact that what justice ginsburg did was wrong and unethical. she has admitted that, but that should not endd the question. just as we had that alito controversy in the robbers controversy in the thomas controversy, all this controversies are people just walking away. it doesn't have to be this way. way. we can actually have a supreme court that complies with a code of ethics, but citizens are their worst enemy because they can't move away this partisan lens that they see everything. there ar

we have arrived to judges that are ethical -- we have a right to judges that are ethical.hat we have seen in the supreme court is that when they became judges of their own case, something we have long which acted as a standard, they prefilled every stereotype of that. by the then doing what i hoped they would do, which is say, we are assuming a higher standard, we will be more demanding of ourselves, that has not happened . five of the past nine have committed what i consider serious ethical violations, both conservative and liberal because they have this community. what that does is create a type of arrogance and disappearance for the public that they have been anointed, not appointed. that is the problem, regardless of where politics lie. host: next, justin from ohio on the republican line. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you today? host: i am good. you are on with jonathan turley. caller: he is a fantastic rest. he really is. i went to say that i think that justice ginsburg did donald trump a huge favor and mitch mcconnell. it is a political advantage for th

a prosecutor has to think about a fair trial for everyone, has an ethical obligation to make sure it is not just about a conviction but getting convicted in a fair way so everyone's rights are protected. they have no such obligation. defense attorney only has to take care of her clients and that is samantha. she worries about her clients and what is fair and winning and that is all she worries about. >> host: the client have to be innocent to defend? wikipedia >> guest: if it is only about defending the innocent that attorney would have no practice. you can't be that picky. your clients 99% of the time are going to be guilty. >> host: as a former prosecutor is the system weighted toward the defense? >> guest: we make it that way. someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt it is skewed toward the defense, very heavy burden. the prosecution has to work from that presumption and turn the table, turn it all the way over here to beyond a reasonable doubt. not an easy thing to do. >> host: what defense -- what is the plot of the book? >> guest: a celebrity cas

latter day saints have a strong educational ethic very early on. when they established their community in western illinois they got a charter from the state to establish a university in the city. indicative of their yearning for education that would be in some waste secular but in some ways to be able to keep their own children and their own faith. education always have this kind of both secular and spiritual component. when mormons come the utah that educational ethic comes with them. this was the site of one of the major educational institutions in the intermountain west in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. the provo city library is the current title, but it long served as the brigham young academy. the beginnings of the academy are the result of a couple of brothers named dusenberry. they established a private school in provo. it struggled financially. eventually brigham young himself was involved in the recharge rate of that school in the mid-1870's. the academy bore his name as a result. he had a strong hand in establishing its charter,

think the greatest books i put together, lecture notes over 20 years when i taught economics and ethics at randolph macon. basic thesis i went on the republican creed in virginia, basically american creed. since then i went a little 30,000-foot up in the air, and tend instead to the three pillars that have made our civilization the greatest i think the greatest country on earth. three pillars that hold the foundation, and include not surprisingly the judeo-christian tradition. i went to princeton seminary before economics. and studied hebrew for kicks. the judeo-christian tradition lead into the second, the rule of law, and then we did in 7076, also i don't know if by divine intervention or not, you can make up your own mind, travis smith, the founder of free economics, across the pond in england, scotland, doing economics and ethics as well. used to share a moral philosophy. a lot of great thinkers weaving together religion, philosophy, economics, political theology. in the past not so many doing it today. so that's kind of why these books in for my reading list. next was given to me b

it's a question of christian ethics and morality.hen may i kill another human being, and i would even add as a theologian, is it always god's will that i survive a violent confrontation? as a christian, maybe not. >> so let me raise this with you before i go back to the panel. so we're christians. we understand what is expected of us. but everybody's killing us, so we sit around like cattle to slaughter. we just sit around and allow people to kill us. the bible does says to use common sense. my common sense tells us if you have chaos and tyranny in the land, people are destroying, raping, pillaging, my moral obligation after my prayer is to defend. i don't want to do it, but the times that i'm forced to become something i need to become, just for that time until it passes. >> of course that's a god-given instinct, but is the instinct always the last word? i think christian discipleship sometimes challenges us to go beyond -- >> my last word would be, don't let me kill you, make a change, stop this. i'll give everything in my power, i

but the technology is raising ethical concerns. chinese research team published a paper last year saying they manipulated the genes in a fertilized human egg. they say it was part of their research into broad disease. the work in marmoset is not directly connected to genome editing in humans. still, this expert warns with today's development, it's necessary to think about the ethics of the science. >> translator: if humans are modified artificially with genome editing, the changes would be passed on to any future generations. we need to come up with regulations to ensure that the method won't have any negative impacts on genomes. further research needs to be conducted. i think it's a trend not only in japan but around the world, too. >> reporter: a group of japanese scientists have called for a ban on genome editing on human embryos. there's currently no law on it in the country, so debate over the risks and benefits continues. keiko shirayama, nhk world, tokyo. >>> millions of people in beijing use electric bikes to get around and

what about the issue of work ethic by those who are employed? how do we know people are employed with respect to unions are actually working as opposed to using social media all day? >> so the are two questions, one of which is about retirement, and retirement is a mixed bag. a lot of people have significant issues at retirement who find it deeply jolting and a source of misery. some people are able to find tremendous value. it's making sure your life has purpose. if you retirement is something they are doing things, i think of my 90 year old grandmother who is doing literacy training for people in her town. she never ran out of stuff, whereas it seems like every cab driver i have in boston is a guy who retired two years ago in kurdistan and is now driving a car because they were so miserable being alone or their wife was so miserable to have them home that they had to send them back. the second is about work ethic. i think the governments job is not to work against the. i am worried about trusting the federal government certainly with being in

and what about the issue of work ethic but those who are employed? how do we know they are working as opposed to using social media all day? >> to question. retirement. who havepeople significant issues with retirement who find it tilting and it source of misery. some people are able to find value. it is making sure your life has purpose. if your retirement is something, doing things when ideal grandmother doing literacy training for people in her town, she never ran out of stuff where it seems like every cab driver i have a guy who retired two years ago and cannot stand it and is now driving a car because they were so miserable being a loan with her life is so miserable. life so miserable. the government's job is not to go against that. i'm worried about trusting the federal government with being in charge of providing ethical training for anyone. i think as a parent that is about as important a job i have. as members of social groups in our communities and neighbors people who go to our churches, that is for the training is communal as well. thatnk

he has promoted people based on their character, their street smarts and their work ethic. not simply paper credentials. to this day many of the top executives in our company are individuals that started out in positions that were blue clar. but he saw something in them and he pushed them to succeed it his true gift as a leader is that he sees the potential in people that at the don't even see in themselves. the po text that other ex-- the potential that other executives would overlook because their resumes don't include the names of fancy colleges and degrees. i know eval us those workers and those qualities in people because those are the individuals he had my siblings and me work under when we started out. that he would trust his own children's form tiff years to these men and women says all you need to know about donald trump. we didn't learn from mbast. we learned from people who had doctorates in common sense.

what about the issue of work ethic by those who are employed? how do we know the people who are employed with respect to working asapt to be opposed to using social media all day? >> two questions, one about there are lots of people who have significant issues that retirement who feel back.misery and many come some people are able to find committed, it's about making sure your life has purpose. if you are doing things come i think of my 90 year old grandmother who is doing literacy training in her town. stuff, butan out of it seems like every cabdriver i have in boston is a guy who retired two years ago i couldn't stand it and is now driving a car because they were so miserable being alone or their wife or so miserable being home so they had to send him back. the second question was about work ethic. the government's job is not to work against that. trusting theabout federal government with being in charge of any ethical training. parent, that is the most important job i have. i do thing as -- things as member of the community, as neighbors, peo

there is an ethic committee and i wasn't on it. mitch mcconnell was on it. without going into detail, which your listeners will have to learn from my book, but this thing was unreal. believe me when i tell you this, i was one of the only people in the senate pushing to air this dirty laundry, if it was true, get him out of the senate. i came to grips with mitch mcconnell who was very senior, powerful, member of the ethics committee, soon to be chair of the ethics committee, and bob dole, who attacked me as the biggest partisan and did everything to stop me. they got rid of pack wood because we pushed for these hearings. the point behind the story is i never expected that would happen. then we had a horrible earthquake in california. so the point i make in this book is when you get some place, when you are in politics you never know what issues will be on your plate. >> and you, i think through it all, went through the work of many presidents and helped them. bill clinton, barack obama, al gore. you are helping hillary clinton. >> guest: i sure am. >> host: i

there's an ethics committee. i wasn't on it been. mitch mcconnell was on again. without going into detail, which your listeners will have to learn, in my book, without going, this thing was unreal ana i was come believe me when i tell you this, one of the only people in the senate pushing to air this dirty laundry. and if it was true, getting outy of the senate. and i came to grips with mitch mcconnell, who was very senior, powerful member of the ethics committee, soon to be chair of the ethics committee, and bob dole.e they attacked me as the biggest partisan.e. they did everything to stop me. we got rid of packwood because we pushed for these areas. the point behind the store is i never expected that would have been. then we had a horrible ha earthquake in california. the plan to make in the book is when you get someplace can when you're in politics you don't know what issues will be on your plate than what exactly. you also went through ben's work with me president, help them, bill clinton, barack obama, al gore at the site you are helping hillary clinton. >>

of our government that claims not to have an enforceable code of ethics.ery problematic. >> if we have another problem like -- or another situation like the bush/gore situation, according to "the new york post" there's a legal ethics professor from nyu who wrote this. a federal law requires all federal judges including the justices to recuse themselves if their impartiality might be questioned. would she have to recuse herself if we had another situation like that? >> i think there's a strong argument for recusal in the situation. these interviews were really over the top and when i say that, i should say that most justices would never have even considered making statements of this kind. with regard to any candidate. and the problem i think that you have is that when you say that you're immune from the ethics code, you develop this -- this separation from other judges. and for many people it makes it look like you were anointed, not appointed. that is not what we want. >> jonathan, this wasn't a slip of the tongue. this was three interviews. why is she doi

jay, is there any legal/ethical issues here that would force her to have to recuse herself?well, yes. in fact, the department of justice's own guidelines, in the court of federal regulations, it specifically states, it pro-hibs i a doj employee from participating in a criminal investigation or prosecution if they have a personal or a political relationship with the person or entity that's the subject of the investigation. so the fact that they had a personal conversation, which only bill clinton could pull this off by the way. i mean just think about that. really proves the point. that means her objectivity is certainly put in question, and i think under the existing department of justice own regulations and guidelines, she has to recuse herself from any potential review of the case, not just the prosecution or not prosecution. she needs to be out of it now. just think for a moment, sean. the idea that bill clinton got off an airplane, walked up the steps to a plane controlled by the united states department of justice while his wife is under investigation by the department

these altered images prove why you can't believe your eyes and raise ethics of photo journalism. on a busy street corner in the bronx, between bodegas and tenement walkups a small museum is trying to make a big stir. michael camber runs the bronx documentary center. he's created an exhibit of photos going back over 150 years. that show our perspective of history then and now deserves a close second look. >> this is a great, great -- just an iconic war ii. one of the most published photos of all time. the photographer was actually a soviet army photographer. he wanted to replicate joe rosenthal's famous photo from the soldiers to go up and it's not a real event. at its core we put this show together because we want to get the debate going about photographs. the generation of photographers and photo journalism that i grew up with very set sort of rules and ethics and standards. and we're watching those just kind of dissolve in front of our eyes from what i can see it's falling apart. i want to have that conversation that this is something that's always gone on. it's fascinating tha

she was out of line. >> he is right, and what she did is not just wrong ethically.reme court. it's a very serious blow to that court. >> mm-hmm. >> the supreme court has many flaws, but one of its great tenants is this impartiality and this separation from politics. and what justice ginsburg did was undermine that tradition. >> what was she doing? why? do you think people vote based on what ruth bader ginsburg thinks? why would she do this? >> unfortunately, i think many of these justices have become enthralled with what i call the age of the celebrity justice. they're increasingly going to audiences. they're enjoying this limelight, and in my view, it's a terrible trend. i prefer the old model where justices spoke entirely through their opinions. but i think you see this sort of corrosive effect on the judgment of justices in this interview. but many of these justices have committed unethical acts in the past. a majority of them have committed acts that would have been serious matters for lower judges. but they consider themselves beyond the rules of ethics, at lea

you know, that's the ethics that donald brings, and again, i'm not sure that the ethics the americanple want in the white house. >> as a democrat, does it concern you that this fbi criticism by the fbi director of hillary clinton has certainly overshadowed what she was hoping today, do you have questions about her ethics after what you heard from the fbi director yesterday? >> well, i think first off, clearly hillary made a mistake, flo question. and then president clinton made a mistake meeting with attorney general, talk about a brain freeze, should never have happened. but the fact is, apparently from what we're hearing now, from the media, is that hillary clinton is not the first secretary of state to make this mistake, that other secretary of states have private servers -- >> she's the first to have a private server at her home. >> but others did similar type of things. i mean, maybe a nuance, so -- but i think the other thing is, really there's a repeated pattern with donald trump, that he did in atlantic city and done elsewhere. it wasn't just atlantic city. again, as we heard
