harvard was actually a center of it, the harvard genetics department, writing textbooks that the rest of the country followed teaching about the importance of eugenic sterilization. in the end of this era, 70,000 americans were sterilized. and what's worse is this became a model for nazi germany. they expressly looked to the american laws to write their own you 9/11ic sterilization -- eugenic sterilization laws. and there 375,000 or so people were sterilized to support the nazi ideology. in fact, when the nazis were put on trial at nuremberg, and this is a scene that happened in real life and is also reflected in the classic movie judgment at nuremberg, when one of the nazis was put on trial for eugenic sterilization, his lawyer said -- again, said in real life -- how can you put us on trial for eugenic sterilization? your own u.s. supreme court, justice oliver wendell holmes, said this was fine. so this is a terrible era in american history, i think far too little remembered. when i was in law school in constitutional law, it was not taught. many of our great institutions were involv

i graduated from the harvard law school and i passed the bar but i had no clients of any kind. to get a telegram from the pentagon inviting me to come to the pentagon and they wanted to talk to me. i arrived there and they said dear, sir, they had never called me sir before, they wanted me to go back to germany to help with warcrimes trials. i had done that during the war days. the last several months in the war as we occupied portions of germany and france that had been occupied, we ran into examples of crimes of all kinds, the most obvious ones, what we called the allied flyer cases, very little is known about that. flyers were being shot down in german—held territory and they were almost invariably the can to death by the german mob. it was part of our first war crimes cases so i had that kind of experience with me when i left the army. i took that back to germany when i agreed with some hesitation to go back to germany and help with trials which would follow the international military tribunal. why did you hesitate? was it because you didn't want to...? it's a horrible expe

judge derrick watson, a harvard genius blocked the ban. he stops it saying it prevents hawaiians from receiving visits from their relatives from somalia, sudan, yemen and iran and syria and harms tourism from those countries as well as how's ability to recruit from places like syria. judge watson, hawaii hasn't taken in one refugee from those countries. but now, you want to be in the forefront of a national controversial and block donald trump's executive order? i don't think hawaii has standing with these countries. i personally recommend that all refugees, all 100,000 of them, go directly to hawaii, go right past new york, chicago, california, and come straight to you. at least then you might have a plausible argument that hawaii is connected to somalia, sudan, iran, libya, yemen and syria. and then you are welcome to be at the forefront of this national controversy. and this week, donna brazile. the good christian woman finally finds redemption and confesses that she passed on debate questions to her girlfriend hillary which didn't do h
