dennis hatcher's legacy. highly partisan, legislatively productive, provided a majority of the majority support the legislation. one thing he did was he would not bring things up for a vote unless the outcome was basically a foregone conclusion. let's talk about nancy pelosi. she has served in the house since 1987. she has served two stints as speaker of the house from 2007 to 2011, and 2019 to present. her reputation was for cutting deals, within her own caucus and high levels of partisanship. in this respect in terms of cutting deals and high levels of partisanship, this sounds like a mixture of some of the stuff newt gingrich did and some of the stop dennis after david. i think that would be a pretty accurate description. she departed from it in some significant ways. one way was that she pursued earmark reform. your marks were required to be disclosed three days ahead of any major vote in 2007. in 2011, both democratic and the part -- republican caucasus passed rules to put a moratorium on earmarks in 201

. >> reporter: child advocate daniel hatcher says the physical restraints she was concerned about aref training and skill to deal with a child with difficulties. simply put them in physical restraint, don't need that level of skill, makes job cheaper. >> use of restraint is only when there's imminent or immediate danger to the client themselves or others. >> mary ann birmingham. are kids safe at your facilities? >> i understand your concern what you've seen with allegations, i assure you we take every step we can to ensure the safety. >> state of michigan is set to ban the use of restraints in these facilities. sequel calls the death senseless and tragic and fired those involved in clear violation of policies and training. >> is anything more happening or is that the end of it? >> quite a bit. three of the former staffers involved in the restraint are charged with manslaughter, trial is under way in michigan. meantime there's a civil suit filed by the family of cornelius frederick, also the state of michigan shut down lake side academy and are making changes to apply to all youth faci

, representative nadler, senator markey for their leadership on this bill today, my name is megan hatcher mays, director of democracy policy and founder of the undrinkable courts coalition, a coalition dedicated to restoring balance to the courts which of course starts right here today with the introduction of the judiciary act of 2021. the supreme court derives its legitimacy from the trust we all put into it. and that trust has been eroded thanks to a decades long assault on our judiciary in general and the supreme court in particular. by corporate interests, conservative dark money groups and the republican enablers in congress. the last four years especially show just how little regard republicans, led by donald trump and mitch mcconnell, have for any political judiciary. trump and mcconnell confirmed hundreds of judges including three supreme court justices all of whom were handpicked because of their loyalty not to the constitution but took conservatives political outcomes. the only way forward now, the only way to build back to trusting our courts and in the supreme court especiall

we'll hear from meghan hatcher mays. co-founder of demand justice, and professor aaron bell ken, director of take back the court. so we are here as a coalition beginning this effort to insure that we restore justice to the supreme court. this is an incredible moment as we introduce the judiciary act of 2021. we are here today because the united states supreme court is broken. it is out of balance and it needs to be fixed. too many americans view our highest court in the land as a partisan political institution, not an impartial judicial branch of government. too many americans have lost faith in the court as a neutral arbiter of the most important constitutional and legal questions that arise in our judicial system. i'm disappointed to say that too many americans question the court's legitimacy. the consequence is the rights of all americans but especially people of color, women, and our immigrant communities are at risk. the concerns the american people have about the high court are legitimate and they are well founded.
