justice ginsburg. [applause] justice ginsburg: it is a delight to be with all of you for this celebration. i know to start my remarks with a brief remembrance of things past. likewas the second circuit 1959-19 61, the years i served for judge palmieri and how did those days compare with the circuit today? most evident difference is the size of the court. it has grown. the court's in 1959 was six all were male. so, too, world of the district judges. today there are 11 active judges, 10 seniors and service. i've the 11 active judges, seven or may allah and for our me know. three on occasion. male and for of them are female. in 1959, it was the year henry friendly was appointed and senior circuit judge learned hand was still a hearing cases. july 1959-june 1960, the court of appeals closed 554 cases. 2015-2016 case dispositions of mounted 4743. 1959istrict court bench in numbered 32 active judges and eight seniors. in thedistrict judges 52 activeclude members and 51 seniors. exist,tcy judges did not altho

look at it and say it's ginsburg, what's going on. we look at opinions ginsburg. it's clearly ginsburg but it's scalia. one of those cases that shook me and that still to this day confuses me -- you don't look back and you're forward thinking. after that case, we had adoptive couple be a baby girl. would you consider that your forward progression of thinking when the native community that you fought in your dissent that your agreement of sotomayor dissent, was that your moving forward to rectify something of the past? >> when you're on the losing side, you have to remain hopeful in this way. it's maybe the court didn't get it right today. but they will have another opportunity. when i think of the history of the u.s. supreme court. think back to the time around world war i. opposed to the draft and expressing their views were arrested and charged with some criminal offense. there were two justices at the time. who said, free speech. these people have a right to speak their mind. the law shouldn't touch them for doing just that. they spoke just for themselves. but

. >> well, isn't the broader justice ginsburg: let me ask you the case -- let me put the case to you that seems to be strongly for the other side and it is loving against virginia. there are two people who pled guilty to violating virginia's miscegenation statute, pled guilty, didn't reserve anything out. yet, that plea did not block them from seeking to vacate their convictions on the ground that the statute under which they were convicted was unconstitutional. is that just a slip that the court didn't notice that they had pled guilty and, therefore, shouldn't be able to raise the constitutional question? >> so, your honor, that case, as the caption reflects, came up through the state courts. i think this court's been quite clear that states can craft their own procedures in these circumstances. and clearly no one raised it in loving against virginia. and whatever state procedures they may have had wouldn't -- apparently did not preclude the claim. >> but this was a case where this court, notwithstanding any state procedures, and i don't think that was any state procedure that says

justice ginsburg: mr. smith, will you clarify what you mean by one-party state? here, we know that the maps were drawn by the republicans and every -- everybody else was excluded, even some republicans were excluded. but suppose the legislature has a republican majority, but there are democrats, say it's 60/40, 40% democrat, and the redistricting is done by the legislature. does -- does that count? would you count that as one party? mr. smith: i do, your honor. you i think if there's a majority, one party has a majority in both houses of the legislature and the governorship, the fact that there -- there are some representatives of the other party in a minority status would not negate the possibility that the thing was - justice gorsuch: mr. smith, is that a -- is that a republican form of government claim? mr. smith: i think it's a first amendment claim and equal protection claim. i -- i'm not going to try to revive the republican form of government clause at this late stage. justice gorsuch: isn't that -- isn't that exactly what you're trying to do, though? mr.

justice ginsburg: but mr. kneedler, if you're -- if you're making the distinction that johnson was a criminal case and this is a civil case, this court has had a number of decisions saying that line is not so rigid. for example, mlb, taking away parental rights, is a civil proceeding. and yet the court said, as in a criminal proceeding, for an indigent party, the state must give the transcript free. and so, if you had followed a rigid criminal/civil, then if it's civil, no free transcript. only if it's criminal. but the court said the -- the line is blurred when there is such a grave consequence. it was a grave consequence to be denied parental rights. it's a grave consequence to be removed from the united states. mr. kneedler: and so our submission is not just the distinction between civil and criminal, although we think this court's cases establish that there is a difference. but the important points here, though, are immigration is distinctive. immigration, this court has repeatedly said, even though it may

>> yes, justice ginsburg. our position is these officers were plainly incompetent in disregarding evidence of the partygoers state of mind. it's not a subjective standard. nonetheless, multiple officers testified they witnessed nothing go to put these partygoers unnoticed that there were not supposed to be here which i think speaks to what an objectively reasonable officer wouldn't believe. of course they arrested because they believed it was a strict liability crime. our contention is that the fax that had been mentioned, flight, which i do want to address, drugs, prostitution, our point is that none of this is evidence of the mens rea element. >> as you say it is an objective standard. there are all these cases in the district of columbia, tillman is the one that gets the most emphasis in the breeze, but there are others. there's this smith, but glowing, bowman at all these cases which are d.c. court cases, say they upheld convictions. they upheld convictions for trespass even though the person they some exc
