found it is not under georgia law. that opinion seems pretty grounded in the state's law of georgia. >> that is a hot button issue right now in the state federal courts in georgia. , isposition in those cases that georgia statute specifically says that is a discretionary appeal. the 1975 habeas corpus act made it a discretionary appeal because the court was being inundated with appeals. has the georgia supreme court ever said anything whether it is discretionary or not? cases,wo of its including smith versus nichols, they both state those as discretionary. answered aot certified question on that issue. can you say that case again? >> that was a 1975 case. >> are certified questions available in georgia? could we certify a question to the georgia supreme court? >> i believe you can. >> i looked at the statue, it -- in a kbss case case that its would not review it unless it has merits. there is a statute that habeas casess -- -- -- they were exactly what i had read and it was from a statute of georgia. , i cannot find it

host: i see the footballs the hind you, georgia, georgia tech -- behind you, georgia, georgia tech. a pretty big rivalry. mr. carter: it is a big rivalry. i have to not show partisanship much. host: you graduated from the university of georgia. mr. carter: i did. as long as they are not playing georgia, i will post for georgia tech. host: and how did you make the transition to being a pharmacist to answer -- congress? mr. carter: people do ask me that, but i have always been interested in politics and always been interested in public service. growing up, i was very active in my church and held leadership roles. on. active as time went when i got out of school, of course, i was working. my wife and i were starting our careers. onn i opened my own business november 20, 1988, i knew i needed to get involved in my community even more. so i served for four years on the zoning committee and chaired that committee before iran for counsel, and two years later was elected mayor. host: so having served as a mayor, compare that to being here in congress. mr. carter: very, very different. there

in georgia, an application is made for a certificate of probable cause to the georgia supreme court and that is often denied summarily, as it was in this case. >> i really do not understand that. you say we would be reversing the georgia supreme court. all that they held is there was no arguable basis for its review. if we reverse that decision, we tell the georgia supreme court, you are wrong, there is an arguable basis for you accepting review. we ought to remand to that court requiring them to accept the review. how can we reverse them on an issue they never considered? >> you have the intermediate appellate court. we want to give practitioners, end the confusion about this, it goes to the state supreme court. there is no difference in our situation here. >> in that case or in other cases -- if so, what other cases? we address the reasoning of the intermediate court? >> in sears versus upton, 2010, the supreme court of georgia, but it came up in exactly the same posture. >> is there an argument the petition could go to the trial court? our statute says it goes to the highest court in

what does georgia do? they quickly pass a law that says "a party of georgia is not a part of state government, it is -- that says the democratic party of georgia is not a part of state government, it can do whatever it wants. the supreme court has to take this issue up separately. on april 1, it was no april fool's joke. april 1, 1946, just three months before the next door to democratic primary, in which a leading democratic candidate for governor, jean thomas, had been governor three times already. .- jean talmage jintao meant had been governor three times already. i caution you to not overuse the word "racist." let's be a little more specific about what that means. white supremacists often means something different. i will use the word out and out racist with you jintao much. -- with eugene talmage. he was a populist, he supported the new deal, but he would do anything to try to get elected. he is trying to reclaim the governor's office in 1946. he is on the ballot. the united states supreme court ruled

to the georgia supreme court? >> i believe you can, your hon honor. >> i look at the statute. the statute says in a a b. is the abs, that the georgia supreme court must review it. it says it must review it unless it's without merit. i forget the exact words. i was looking for them. do they state that? >> in state abs i think it's nine, 14, 15 q. the statute takes a habeas cases at other reviews and makes that just discretionary. >> i've been lucky at the wrong place. you hurt your brother hearsay, he quoted some words. i don't know what the exact words they were exactly what i read in this from a statute in georgia. and the georgia statute said, i just can't find in my book year, sorry. the georgia statute said they shall review the case and less it's totally without merit. something like that. does that ring a bell? doesn't ring a bell, what i'm sending? >> it does ring a bell spit what are the exact words speak was i do not know the exact words speak the exact words are that a certificate of probable cause will

in georgia rules an application is made for certificate of probable cause to the georgia supreme court and that is often denied summarily. it is denied summarily as it was in this case. >> i really don't understand that. you say we would be reversing the georgia supreme court not the habeas court, right, and all that the judge of the supreme court held is that there was no arguable basis. if we reverse that decision, tell the georgia supreme court, you're wrong, there is a arguable basis for accepting review, so we ought to remand to that court requiring them to accept review, it would seem to me. >> how can we reverse them on an issue they never considered? >> well, that's what happened to r.j. reynolds, a situation with an intermediate supreme court that ruled and north carolina supreme court denied review. the question was do you issue the writ to the intermediate appellate court or north carolina supreme court. this was decided. the justice writing for the court said, we want to give practitioners -- we want to end the confusion about this. and so it goes to the state supreme court

jay hakes: well, habitat, as you may know, that was founded in americus, georgia, and americus, georgia, is only seven miles from plains. so the people that founded habitat were well-known to the carters, were friends with the carters and the carters really liked the idea.so what they agreed to in the early years was that their name could be used for the organization for fundraising and things like that.and then they spend one week a year working on habitat projects. many of these days are abroad, and these are not just photo ops, they actually go out and they're both quite good with tools.so they go back to their first days of habitat and they're still active. they spend 51 weeks a year working on the carter center, but they do have -- have made a major contribution to habitat. susan swain: well, before we get into the white house years, we have to add one more person to the story and that's the birth of amy carter. she was born in 1967. so the carters arrived at the white house with a young daughter and their sons off doing other things and with their lives.but the inauguration was ca
