theas the first law man of first law agency here in the united states to sign a federal agreement with the u.s. to collaborate with immigrant customs enforcement. so he was very excited. deputized his sheriff's to go out and terrorize people. he would surround six block radius in community's of color, and literally with his civil posse, a bunch of racist volunteers of sheriff joe arpaio, would start rounding people up. rounding people up if they had no identification on them, putting them in the paddy wagon and he became both the ice officer come immigration judge, and the reporting officer. sheriffs were giving people 20-year penalties and being banned from coming back into the country. in 2011, there was a lawsuit by the aclu that said you are engaging in racial profiling. he terrorized -- he did almost 90 workplace raids where he picked up 700 people. he claims he deported 80,000 immigrant people. so he has been terrorizing. he had been terrorizing the community for 10 years. he had been persecuting them. targeted them. he had blatantly, intentionally been racist against an entire c

well we have filed two losses we were actually the first law firm to get involved in this litigation we filed the first lawsuit last november on behalf of better farms better farms is the largest peach producer in the surrey and they had been damaged by the cam but drift and volatility in two thousand and fifteen and sixteen and then also the farmers been being damaged this year as well we also filed a class action lawsuit in january because we were being contacted by smaller operations people who didn't have the sorts of damage that better farms has experience but still they were being damaged and they wanted to seek redress so we filed that lawsuit in january and it's at the time it was it was targeting ten states just because those were the ten affected states as we call them we had to make that our national class action and others are have sense than i think beginning in june of this year out of the filed lawsuits as well what we're hearing from farmers is that they're they are they're soybeans. and they are their produce everything you can think of really is being damaged by this

actually just like the first law and disorder it's all all of the stories are actual stories are cases that we actually have handled and it's been put into a fiction world and it's gotten so it's gotten to the point to where the typical american doesn't get a chance to ever see back stories i mean if they turn on innocent b.c. tonight they're going to hear let's go to russia let's start war with russia if they turn on c.n.n. it's let's start a war with russia and impeached in that in that crazy type of dialogue. real stories are never reported to the american public real stories that affect their lives for example this book. law on vengeance really focuses on white collar criminals in the united states who have been operating under a wild west mentality where they lie they cheat they steal their way to financial success while never having to worry about the possibility of maybe really going to prison that seem not only pays it plays itself out in law and disorder it plays itself out a lot of vengeance but it's become almost a mainstay of the united states politics is white collar prose

when you think about the foundation of first amendment law and the first you know is oliver holmes with clear and present danger, marketplace of ideas and those were incredible phrases and the opinions that they were in are incredible opinion, but in my view, the opinion that most gets at the first amendment, what it means to this country and why this is so important to our nation is this opinion in whitney versus california, because it's in this opinion where what justice brandeis does is he connects it to the deepest values of american civic life. he talks about how what the first amendment does and the purpose of the first amendment is ultimately to develop the faculties in order to participate in american democracy and it's the beauty of that commitment is mirrored and is brought out by the beauty of his prose. i just thought i would read some of it for you, and i warn you, this is going go on for a few minutes because i'm going to read about two and a half long paragraphs, but to my mind, as i said, the best way to celebrate justice brandeis is to read justice brandeis. so here it

law review. then distinguished clerkships. she first clerk for judge abner of the d.c. court of appeals and then for thurgood marshall, justice of the supreme court. after her clerkship she practiced law for several years at the washington firm of wiggins and connelly. then she abandoned the practice of law at the call of the academy. she spent four years at the university of chicago as a professor of law there. then service to our president. she served as associate counsel to president bill clinton and later as deputy director of president clinton's domestic policy council. then back to the academy, but this time harvard law. she began as a visiting professor, but they decided they liked her pretty well, and so she became a permanent member of the faculty there, and in 2003 was named dean of the harvard law school. then from there she was asked by president obama in 2009 some become the 45th solicitor general of the united states. a year later, president obama nominated justice kagan to become an associate justice of our supreme court, and she was confirmed. do you reme

law on july 26, 1990. that was 27 years ago. the ada was one of the first federal civil rights laws, focused on protecting persons with disabilities and against discrimination and public accommodations and services and telecommunications. i am especially proud to hide the commission's role in the commission of that law. the disabilities focus and legislation in a 1983 report titled "accommodating individual responsibilities." a former staff attorney with the commission of who was one of the primary authors of the report , described his job as "statistics, social scientific, literature, legislation, legal commentary on the status of people with a disability in american society and in the law." in conclusion of the report was "society has tended to isolate and segregate people with disabilities and despite that progress discrimination , continues to be a serious and pervasive social problem." as i expect to hear in a few minutes, the council followed with a report that related to the americans with disabilities act in 1990. before we hear from our speakers, i

first amendment. this is relevant. what it says is not what the law is evolved to be. bridging the freedom of speech or of the press or of the right of the people to assemble and to petition the government. a lot of people look and say it says congress shall make no law and congress shall not abridge the freedom of speech. if congress can't abridging my speech they get to do that, right? it is a fprivate. federal judge and state judge ruled that because they accepted federal funding in that case i believe it was title nine funding they are also subject to certain first amendment standards as well. so just because those of you in the audience may not be going to a state school don't assume it doesn't apply to your speech as well. just about every american institution now days in education takes government funding and therefore is also liable to follow the dictates of the first amendment. so they did not want students talking about the war and protesting and students being threatened with punishment for that. he was not having any of this. he gave up and he was a civil d

the first laws to secure slavery in what became the united states were passed not in the south but in the commonwealth of massachusetts. the transatlantic slave trade provided the wealth basis for the earth early commonwealth. it supported a life of culture, expansion, learning and prosperity. all backed by religious and biblical belief. which allowed for a life of ease and plenty. the wealth, leisure and educational platforms in which early new england stood owed their existence and prominence to slavery. which freed up the time of the owning class to rapidly grow their holdings and also enrich themselves intellectually and culturally. owning land and labor created wealth. plantations were few in new england. but northern merchants owned the ships that moved the slaves from one continent to another. they also owned the factories that manufactured the clothing that slaves and others wore. they owned the distilleries, apie appeasing appetites with rums and spirits. and industry dependent on sugar. on sugar cultivation. wherever profit could be made, they were there. and gold and silver

why was law enforcement created in the first place. it was greed in the first place in this country in no small measure to try. and slave to africans and since that time of course the u.s. police departments have had an inglorious history in terms of bashing and cracking the scoles of black people in particular which has given rise to the black lives matter movement but even the rise of this movement has not seemed to send the message to many of our police authorities that they are well past due time to reform and change and you're given this history of these hate groups so why are we seeing now law enforcement protecting them well i think it goes back to what. the professor said about the first law enforcement being fugitive slave patrols also we know that there's been this blue lives matter. you know in relationship to black lives about or there's been sort of a scene that police are under attack and this desire to reclaim the importance of blue lives as sort of seeing. in opposition to that. yeah but there's this old phrase cops in

were on trump's said, who are just adopted recently a very wide-ranging sanctions bill that first confirms into law of the executive orders from president obama and sanctions, so it reduces trumps ability to listen unilaterally. claire: they have also included that they needed to be consulted first on any change. benjamin: they concluded that they would have to be consulted, so they limited the marginal maneuverability of the president, but also widened the scope of some of the sanctions, especially on the russian energy sector. it is a controversial bill. some european leaders have come out against it because it targets indirectly european countries that deal with the energy industry -- sector. but what is interesting is that president trump's press secretary last week said he presumed trump would wrote -- but this new sanction. so how do you feel this? rex tillerson is meeting the russian secretary of state over the weekend, how to give you this is going? benjamin: there is no reason for the u.s. to give anything to russia they do not improve behavior, especially when it comes to the ukraine. the
