speak to ronald sullivan who's a professor of law and director of the criminal justice institute at harvard law school joins us live now via skype from newton in massachusetts so important moments as we've been discussing on the program so far but is it a turning point in history can we be that optimistic. i didn't think we could be that optimistic it indeed is an important moment significant moment a moment that symbolize a something important is a turning point yet that's premature there's a lot of work that still needs to be done that that list you just read was sobering absolutely sobering. in order to really achieve justice we as a country here in the united states we have to roll up our collective sleeves and get to work this is an important starting point but a starting point it is there's there's much work to be done this sense from some that it's a few bad apples within the police force. is that right or is it is it systemic within the force. it's the latter it's systemic the few bad apples. metaphor it really doesn't do justice to the school in depth of the problem right so you can sa

the justice antonin scalia series was established at harvard law school in 2015 by an anonymous donor to promote our understanding of the following -- of the founding principles of the united states constitution. they are in the field of political science, history, philosophy, law, government, religion, and related disciplines. the person chosen to be the scalia lecturer is a scholar of high distinction who through their research, writings, and teachings elucidates the principles of the american founding. it is meaningful for me to introduce the scalia lecture. justice scalia was deeply influential and stimulated many productive conversations about the law and the legal system. i think that is in part because he understood and respected the law's complexity. i was his law clerk and i was always struck by the framed embroidery he kept in chambers that said "nothing is easy." because he knew nothing is easy, he loved debate and disagreement. he thought it was exhilarating and it was how he learned. it was a spirit he brought to his chambers and to all of his friendships. it is in that s

by the way, joining us now with reaction, harvard law professor allen dershowitz along with outnumbered co-host and white house press secretary, kayleigh mcenany. >> i'm interested in the whole idea of ruling by executive fiat. my understanding, i'm not a harvard law professor like yourself but we're supposed to have a legislative branch of government. they are supposed to pass the laws, and joe just doesn't get to write his name on everything and say done and forget that branch. >> well, as far as court packing, i'm unequivocally opposed to it. it's the beginning of the slide toward the end of the supreme court. as a neutral institution applying the rule of law. it would just mean that every time one party gets control of both houses and the presidency, they add justices to the supreme court. get up to 25, 35, who knows. maybe a hundred. the president has appointed a commission. some are moderate. good. some are extremists like a former colleague. he's not a newt which you will objective constitutional scholar. he is a result oriented constitutional manipulator for whom the constitutio

they spoke out in a speech, i believe it harvard law school, on tuesday. spoke out clearly against court expansion. warned that it may make the court more political and underling trust in the constitution. "structural altercation motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed that latter perception, further eroding that trust." as he says that, there are liberals aggressively lobbying breyer, 82 years old, to retire. biden could possibly replace him in this key moment of history for the supreme court in this country. >> emily: against affect travel calls for breyer to resign, against this morning that this is a political move that could trust in the institution, to think that change is likely here? it is to analyze, but clearly, by forming this commission, that's stating a message as well. >> it's absolutely stating a message. joe biden was asked time after time after time on the campaign trail -- it took him months, a way to appease the far left. look at what is happening here. when they left doesn't get their way, their answers to chang

stephen breyer is right, my professor at harvard law school.hat was because they thought it would be the least susceptible to politics. you start getting into this will make it ten, 12, 14, the republicans get in the court will lose all of its credibility. the court has credibility. not that people don't disagree with its decisions, but people listen to the court. >> the american people get the sense that the court is just a political instrument. i think you're going to see people start to divide our court orders in ways that you have not seen before. preserve the integrity of the court. not a good start to the chair of this commission come a very political lawyer, bob baer, who does not have a represent representation for political work. >> i can say with confidence that stephen breyer was not my professor at harvard law school. but he is under pressure from progressives to retire so that president biden can appoint his own justice. do you see any rush to get him out the door here more? is there any reason to? >> the outcome of the reason is t

say in minneapolis let's speak to ronald sullivan are professor of law and criminal justice at harvard law school professor since we spoke last time there's been now body cam footage dramatic footage of the latest shooting in minnesota where a black man was killed after being shot by police authorities there saying it was accidental that the officer who shot his gun at the black man meant to shoot a taser this is happening of course says the show vein child is continuing in minneapolis but certainly not a good look and not a good thing for the defense said this event happened on the day this trial was resuming. not at all you're absolutely right there's to my estimation no way that the jurors will not hear about that in other words they're they're going to do their darndest to stay off of social media not read the newspapers etc but the news channels are absolutely inundated with this story it's local it's a 20 minute drive from where the jurors are so they will hear about it and it has the potential to be triggering for that community that once again another instance of a police officer k

when the modern administrative regulatory system was starting to develop under fdr, james landis, harvard law professor who was part of the fdr brain trust designed the system. he explained to president roosevelt as a matter of proper form what we would today call major rules, significant regulations put up by an executive branch agency before they can take effect should be passed into law by congress. fdr did not quite get to that part of it. congress adopted a cheap imitation of that known is the legislative veto. congress would outsource certain types of rulemaking, but then say if an agency or commission or department makes a regulation we don't like then a simple concurrent resolution of congress can undo it. legislative vetoes gained popularity until we had hundreds of them. until the supreme court concluded they were unconstitutional and violated article 1, section 7's presentment clause in 1983 -- resentment clause in 1983. many believed congress would stop this delegation of power. stop delegating the lawmaking power to be branch agencies. that did not happen. it got worse. there are

ronald sullivan is a professor of law and director of criminal justice institute at harvard law school he says the state has acted swiftly but not fast enough to ease the anger on the streets. let me be clear this this culpable negligence then storage is a homicide charge so homicide in the united states is graded so there are different gradations of homicide with the top count of homicide being intentional murder that's like you know hiding in a bush and jumping out and shooting somebody you know wanting to do it intending to do it and then the charges are graded down still homicide but the notion is that people are more or less culpable depending on what's going on inside their head so this is a lower level murder charge but still a homicide charge they immediately release the body warrant cameras and they charge this officer very quickly normally it takes a long time before the state will charge an officer what we're seeing on the screen now is people are just simply fed up with the way in which black bodies are treated in the united states and the back to back to back homicides una
