was to ensure that after the years of nazi dictatorship and the destruction of the war the new federal republic of germany was built on solid democratic foundations 40 years later when west and east were reunited the constitution was adopted in the new me unified germany. but how relevant is the constitution in today's germany article one for example states that human dignity is inviolable as part of our series it's my rights our next story looks at what dignity means to a german man who was homeless for 10 years. also because after going to the toilet taking a shower there normal things for everyone but how can you do this when you're homeless it's not so simple. dominick clone lived on the streets for 10 years always on the move looking for something to eat somewhere to sleep he says it was a life without dignity. i terminate quiz 16 when his mother threw him out the streets of st paoli became his home the red light district of hamburg. when we need each other up for a sleeping bag it's a fight for survival and then there's the sadistic violence and contempt where people come in they don't tr

after many decades in the federal republic of germany i believe this is a historic step forward and now germany is opening up its borders to skilled workers from non you countries and young people who want to complete a trainee program or are looking for a job the opposition doesn't believe this is very practical yup you can come for half a year but you're not allowed to work during that time he wants to do that who has enough money to support themselves while looking for a job as a skilled worker. have to drop to the left party things the core of the problem lies in the economic situation that few in fact out of one hundred forty four job categories only one out of seven is lacking workers the problem is the quality of the work he wages and working conditions are not attractive in the long run. despite this criticism coul wants to stay in school after his training program ends and he hopes that by then it will be easier to work legally in germany. russia has been marking the seventy four hundred first year of the soviet victory over nazi germany in world war two the main victory day ce

with the approval of the basic law constitution the federal republic of. west germany was established in 1949. months here. we're looking back on 70 years of german history and here we see kind of had no assigning the basic law. when the loss of germany was still in ruins but no i wanted to emphasize the importance of this historic moment. so he used the very grand gilded silverware from cologne town hall in office that. the establishment of west and east germany in 1949 sealed the division of the country. became the provisional capital of west germany and the seat of its parliament. its fast freely elected members sat on these chairs. and you all know this tells us something about the 1st west german parliament. we got some of the original seats and created this display also the podium and lectern from which are no and others address the assembly. we have some speeches about nuclear weapons which was a major issue back then and. i look at some and also lighthearted and even gravity ones which show how parliamentarians sometimes let rip. important moments

aim was toonsure thatat aftr years of nazi dictatorship and the destruction of war, the new federal republicf germany was built on solid democratic foundations. 40 years later, when west and east were united, the constitutionon was adopted in te new -- new rina five germany. article one of the constitution states that human dignity is inviolable. how realistic is that for everyone in today's germany? as part of our series, it's my right, our next story looks at what dignity means to a german who was homeless for 10 years. >> going to the toilet, taking a shower, the normal things for everyone. how can you do this when you are homeless echoed it is not so simple. >> he lived on the streets for 10 years. he was always on the move, looking for some thing to eat. somewhere to sleep. he says it was a life without dignity. >> dominic was 16 when his motherer threw him out. the strereets of san palo became his desk think p pali became his homes -- st. pauli became his home. greg's we fight oversleeping backs. people t treat you like dirt. they understood and bagag or battery with something. ththey

west germany and the communist east were reunited the constitution was adopted across the whole federal republic. now over the past few days we've been looking at how ordinary people use the basic law today we turn to the debate over homeschooling which is illegal here in germany attending school is compulsory and homeschoolers can face fines or even jail time but some parents are fighting this saying the constitution protects their children's rights to personal freedom. i wish everyone could learn how they like and school wasn't compulsory. my whole long shelf doesn't go to school and german law says she has to but she signs the constitution. and i sure can miss it as he said and if people can't develop individually at school i love most everyone has to do the same thing and they have to feel the same everyone goes at the same speed. i felt limited and that i wasn't allowed to decide for myself what i wanted to learn depending on how i was feeling. like the 14 year old has been schooling herself for 2 years with books apps and internet groups she's not alone around 2000 german children refused

in a matter between one button for baby claimants and the federal republic of germany as respondents. the presiding arbitrator was other john from a swedish attorney cuyahoga represented the claimant vattenfall and sabina connor represented the federal repub. of germany. but thoughts clane 4700000000 euros in damages as a consequence of the 13th amendment claimants lost their production licenses for the criminal plant and for the and broomsticks to plant they were simply withdraw. the dispute does not concern germany's right as such to face up to any rather this dispute concerns the manner in which germany has chosen to be implemented stay so decision and its failure to prop to protect claimants investments in particular concerns germicide or to pay any compensation at all. the very heart and so most investor protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation . the difficulty however would talk about indirect expropriation is to draw the line between expropriation on the one and legitimate governmental measures on the other. and there is no easy way to draw this line t

that everything's great i don't like all the government's policies yet i don't question the federal republicll the time but if. the child says he wants to encourage the students to think. but his statements draw some criticism yeah i mean yes and i think in some respects he may be right that not everything in the e.u. works but you can solve that by simply abolishing the e.u. or taking away some of its opportunities to do better. as the other productions of said the only thing we can do is strengthen that. there is still this feeling this disquiet something's going wrong if the officials call germany an opinion dictatorship whereas the party says its truth is the only truth this is eroded public confidence in democracy. well democracy looks different it would mean that you know exactly freedom of speech yes absolutely i've been freedom of speech should be the supreme good but you just can't have the wrong opinion that's how it is so the f.t. . no other party comes into question why not you know why there are too many arguments to go into in detail. but one of the most important ones. well tr

we're a federal republic, not a democracy. 270 to win. which changes the entire map.ident is in much better position. we're in right place of states. we're picking up states of latino vote, new mexico, nevada, new hampshire. brian: you believe those state are in play? >> 100% in play. if election was held today we win in nevada and new mexico. brian: if you don't get the deal, do you believe the base leave you. >> statistical analysis, people are saying we're behind the president with this. they know that china has been, you know, robbing america for decades and politicians have done nothing about it. nothing. it has been politically ex-pea with respect for them to have it this way. cheap stuff, this and that. now it has gone other way. dominos falling other way. now they're abusing us. $500 billion a year. president made the promise. we'll stop pillaging of us. he will stop -- you know what? farmers are strong americans. they will be there. get ethanol things done e15, grains, other things sold. brian: president will judge your appearance. i give you high grades for

the federal leave's army for the independent hope of a slave republic. citizens accounted increasingly statist federal government that instituted conscription and martial law, imposed income tax, and oppressed slaves and farm produce among other infringement on state, local and individual rights. as long as lee and his army remained in the field, most confederates continue to believe in their side possibility to win -- side's ability to win long after food and supply shortages plague their nation. yes, long after gettysburg. confederates reasonably hoped a republican incumbent abraham lincoln lost the 1864 presidential election, the peace wing of the party might advance or any negotiations which could result in confederate independence. additionally, a republican loss would have spelled the doom of emancipation in the united states which was a mere military measure and not yet law in 1864. the 1864 presidential election provides us with an example of how battlefield events profoundly shaped politics. lincoln himself was convinced by the bloody stalemates

consistent with that understanding, federal courts do not appear to have issued any nationwide injunctions during the first 175 years of the republic. as i said the first documented case was a d.c. circuit case in 1963. and that absence of nationwide injunctions does not reflect an unwillingness to issue injunctions against the government. quite the contrary, in 1937, attorney general homer cummings issued a report stating that lower courts had issued how to and of injunctions against new deal programs. but in keeping with the english tradition and two centuries of american law, those injunctions bound the government only with respect to the party's in those cases. the government continued to enforce new deal programs against others in many cases. even then, the subsequent attorney general robert jackson described the judiciaries reaction and use of injunctions to challenge new deal programs as reckless partisan and irresponsible. i could nl imagine what he would think today when they come dock nationwide. the novel approach taken by some districts reflect as departure not only from the historical limitations of article three but o

segment, the new republic's matt article,s about his make the irs great again, and how democrats can use the issue in the race for the white house. also, a new report examining the loopholes federal lawmakers used to pay personal expenses. be sure to watch c-span's washington journal, live at 7:00 eastern saturday morning. join the discussion. ♪ at our table this morning. cq roll call's appropriations and budget reporter. explain, why does it keep getting blocked, this $19.1 billion disaster aid package? guest: trying to get to a bipartisan agreement on disaster aid is something that has been taking months. there's been a lot of back-and-forth between democrats and republicans over what everyone can accept in this package. we didn't think we would get some type of final agreement before congress left town last thursday evening for their weeklong long memorial day break. lawmakers and the white house were able to come to an agreement last thursday mid-day after the house had already taken their final roll call vote. a lot of house members had already left for the airports or for their cars to drive back to their districts. it's important for members to get back in whole town halls

conviction, there have been 16 impeachment trials in history of republic, 8 time has is resulted in conviction, we had one with a federal it is rare, nancy pelosi is saying, we're not there yet, and she is winking and nodding. no impeachment. >> gary kaltbaum. the harvard-harris poll is 65 percent right now for no impeachment. do you think that needle would be moved say if it was 65% for impeachment? all of a sudden a bunch of democrat start to join the other 44. 44. >> keep in mind model in 1973 and 74 with nixon, there was a point where watergate committee in senate met. they thought they would not pursue this then saturday night massacre happened that is what house judiciary committee started its probe. would you believe vote in house of representative to thundershowers committee to start inquiry was 414 -- excuse me, 410 to 4. david: that is clear what they wanted. wanted. >> point that has to be reckoned with my nancy pelosi, it is minority for impeachment, it is a person minority. can they afford to allow that minority, to leave the party before the erge -- election. that has always been a problem with this freshm

republic of ours. eventually reformers begin to look to local and federal government for solutions. they are afraid of class division, as i mentioned, the major strikes, starting with 1877 in the great uprising, the railroad strikes, the 1880's, haymarket massacre, 1890's, american railway union and the pullman strike where eugene debs emerges as a leader. early 1900s, a coal strike that theodore roosevelt helps to hammer out an agreement to. many americans see the united states splitting into labor and capital, labor organizing and accelerating. union membership in 1911 on the eve of the 1912 election is five times what had in in 1897. think about that. that would be like, trust me, this did not happen, like since 2004 the number of labor union members multiplied by five times. new immigrants are creating low wage labor competition. there is no minimum wage. it is a race to the bottom. there are often strikebreakers who feel divisions. manufacturers and employers openly try to hit one immigrant group against the other so they can organize, or african-americans against whites, as we
