glenn greenwald on how the law is used to destroy equality and protect the powerful. we will talk about the obama administration's failure to prosecute wall to executives, the future of wikileaks, and the growing surveillance state. but first, amy goodman goes to spend more protesters are celebrating a major victory after the country's high court opened a criminal investigation into the former head of spain's biggest mortgage lender. a former imf chief rodrigo rato. we speak with organizers of the historic may 15 movement, the indignados. >> maybe, eventually, maybe one of these guys will pay. we have this impression that no one -- they do what they won. they still, like, nothing happens. today, maybe, something will happen. i'm very happy. >> all of that and more coming up. this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm juan gonzalez filling in for amy goodman. nato supply convoys have resumed in pakistan after the u.s. finally apologized for a deadly attack that occurred last year. pakistan had barred the nato trucks that carry supplies fo

joining me now is glenn greenwald, a contributing righter at salon.com.ith liberty and justice for some" is out in paperback. thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> we're no longer a nation of one rule of law but really two populations, one oblivious to the law and the other subject to it. when did this begin and why? >> i would say just you know that it is not so much that one is subject and one isn't. they're in different universes. you have the elite who have committed some of the most egregious crimes imaginable, torture, spying on americans massive systemic financial fraud. none of which has resulted in any legal accountability and yet at the very same time, the same class has implemented for everybody else not just a legal system, a system of punishment but the western world's harshest and most oppressive system of punishment. we imprison more of our citizens than any other country in the world. so you have this extreme impunity for a small elite class and the exact opposite world for everybody else. >> i don't want to spend too much time on history

information up or is there still a way to fight big brother joining me to discuss this is glenn greenwald salon columnist and author of the book with liberty and justice for some how the laws used to destroy equality and protect the powerful glenn thanks for joining us tonight and let me think of where we start with if you ask me it's pretty undeniable these days that we really do live in a surveillance state but as you mentioned before a lot of people out there will come at it with the attitude or with the argument that if they have nothing to hide then what do they really care that information is being monitored so how do you how do you counter something like that how do you tell people that that's not the right way to look at it. first of all there's the earth zero question that we live in a surveillance state and matter how one understands that term and i think it's important to answer your question to emphasize just how extensive it is according to the washington post and its two thousand and ten top series america top secret america series the national security agency collects one p

yeah i think a lot of people will lose and i think that's why you have glenn greenwald. signing on to open up this court hearing right now they have kept everything pretty locked down and they're not releasing any of the court documents the journalists were reporting on how to take everything noted by hand not even on a laptop so it is very secretive there's no transcripts of even the court proceedings going on release to the public so this is all going to be very locked down and yet it is going to delay a lot of the proceedings and people are just saying open this up i mean it's already been he's already been held for eight hundred days without without charges and this kind of going along with the whole julian assange you know is this june nineteenth there's been an ecuadorian embassy. once again afraid of extradition to the united states where he could face similar charges i mean these are very serious charges that we're talking about here aiding the enemy and when the prosecution is withholding you know so many documents that would outline how exactly you did a the en

tim he's an activist with the electronic frontier foundation hey there trevor i know that glenn greenwald a writer for salon it says in fact you can substitute a songes name in feinstein statement with the word the new york times and the claims would be just as accurate so what's going on here why punish wiki leaks but not some of the more established new news organizations. absolutely that's the real problem with the statement is that when she says that isn't just guilty of espionage because he knowingly disseminated classified information that's the exact same thing new york times that with all the wiki leaks cables and with a host of other classified information they post that they publish every week or the new york times the wall street journal the washington post does the same thing for forty or fifty years it's been well established fact that publishing classified information if you're a private citizen or a journalist is protected by the first amendment now the government has argued that they can go after government leakers but never have they been able to prosecute a private citiz

heather mcgee, maria returning to the show, co-host of "need to know" on pbs and glenn greenwald former constitutional and civil rights litigator and author of "with liberty and justice for some." in a 5-4 ruling this week, the united states supreme court crushed montana's attempt to preserve its century old corrupt practices act which ban corporate contributions to parties and upholding the law earlier this year, montana supreme court chief justice mike mcgrath wrote "with the infusion of corporate money and in support of an opposition to targeted candidate, the candidate would be unevil to compete and montana citizens who for over 100 years made their modest election contributions meaningfully count but be shutout of the process." the u.s. supreme court rejected montana's claim that their history gave the state "unique and compelling interests in eliminating corporate influence on elections." justice briar wrote, "that nment expenditures do not corrupt or appear to do so." not only will the court not reconsider, the citizens united ruling, but not abide states acting independently to

me this morning, congressman peter welch, democrat from vermont, maria, anchor of npr and glenn greenwaldconfusion over the supreme court's health care ruling, consider one of the court's other major decisions on immigration harsh statute. scholars are still debating what effect this mixed decision will have on immigration policy. the court deemed most of the law unconstitutional, including a provision that made it illegal to be an immigrant in arizona without carrying documentation, another that made it a crime for undocumented immigrants to solicit work. but left in place the bill's controversial centerpiece, which requires arizona police officers to check the immigration status of people they stop, if they have reason to believe those people are in the country illegally. justice anthony kennedy writing for the majority admitted in his opinion "there is a basic uncertainty about what the law means and how it will be enforced." that uncertainty has not stopped politicians onç both sides fro claiming victory. here's jan brewer with the court's decision on monday. >> protect the citizens
