the documents are incredible enough that we got a forty page order from the georgia supreme court affirmingour right to go to court and renaming all the charges was incredible and that was about two years ago so we were going forward with a court date win lose or draw to me we stood a better chance of holding on to the building to go to court and to lay it all out there and at least to have justice prevail in in showing how the power structure in atlanta does business. but i have been to this the shelter it's obviously a massive building and so the idea is you're saying that even though they're obviously other other groups that are doing work with the homeless in atlanta the real design against against this particular shelter was to get access to basically make sure make sure that the building could be bought and ultimately utilized for other purposes development purposes and gentrification perhaps yes definitely for that but. the base of all of that empathy was we don't want those men read african-american men who are homeless on peachtree street and we you know i've been on the board of t

smithsonian institute in washington, d.c., studying the state of georgia's historical relationship with indian nations. specifically the supreme court case cherokee nation vs. georgia. his research during the fellowship is centered around writing and developing lesson plans on the topic. i can't thank mr. lee enough for his dedication to georgia students and his ability to inspire them to learn about history and government. mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize the life of mr. james p. burns of warner robins, georgia, who passed away on april 31, 2017, shortly after celebrating his 100th birthday. mr. burns used his 100 years to make his country and his community a better place to live. mr. burns served in the army air corps and the united states air force from 1940 to 1960, fighting for his country during world war ii and the korean war. after being honorably discharged from the air force, mr. burns worked another 16 years for the department of defense before retiring as robins -- at robins air force base in georgia. upon his retirement from the d.o.d., mr. burns and his wife, lucille, dedicated their lives helping the georgia com

georgia where the unusual thing happened, they have access to the files of the prosecutor and found they challenged the jurists off the panel. the supreme courtfinally reversed a-on it was clarence thomas. i think that job of being a judge is to look at the outcome for wherever that leads him or her to say the outcome is harsh or unfair and in this case, the outcome that he advocated was against the constitution. as chief justice roberts wrote for the majority, two challenges based on race and constitution. this, that is an example of the views of affirmative action and other issues. >> partisanship is going to increase with new members of the court. what kind of environment do you think needs to happen to prevent that or have that at least decrease? >> i think there is a chance that the composition of the senate could change in two years. and there is perhaps a greater chance that it could change in four years. so that is the only possibility where you could have some pushback against the conservatives and the appointed authority because even if trump goes before that time frame and might i would think mike pence and whoever succeeds him wil

that supreme court can't have any control over, and that's why we the people have to solve this problem. we're the ones that ought to bee deciding because we're being affected. >> host: from georgia, independent line, david. >> caller: this is nothing but the old states right argument that they keep bringing -- these conservatives keep trying to t bring up all the time. the reason they want to good back to states rights which give all the power to the states which is governed by republicans from the dark on up and it's basically just white rice. anyway, there was a thing that happened back in the turn of the center. the farmers were given the money from the state to dole out to all the other farmers for whatever reason. well, they give it to the white farmers, the white farmers gave all the money to their friends, and other white familiarers. family members, whatever and excluded the black farmers which went out of business. that's why people try to fight that states right mentality when it comes to going back to the way we do things, because they have always hate the federal government for making things right and better for all people. thank you. sunny couldn't disagree more. to
