for the justices.my written statement addresses why the allegations against justice alito are unfounded, why this is so called operation higher court's and absurd and classical grift, and why the justices conduct does not raise judicial -- certainly not concern to the behavior of a leak justice ruth bader ginsburg. i want to focus the rest of my oral statement on mr. schenck's credibility electoral. the committee has convened a hearing to listen to allegations for a man who has built his entire career on deception and deceit. he admits to telling in his words a fair number of consequential lies. mr. schenck has been found to have lied repeatedly under oath. mr. schenck rewrites history to suit his needs. in fact, even today, he says it is 2018 memoir he wrote that operation higher powers goal was to convert justices to a pro-life position. quote, we knew we were stuck with members of the federal bench. they were appointed for life. why not convert them while in office? in peddling his story, mr. schenc

justice kagan: thank you. chief justice roberts: justice gorsuch. justice gorsuch: mr. schnapper, i want to make sure i understand, as you say, the statutory language and how this case fits with it. and if we could start with section 230f4, which defines the term access software provider, it includes, among other things, picking, choosing, analyzing, or digesting content. and we might, in another world, and our first amendment jurisprudence picking or choosing or digesting content as content providing but the statute seems to suggest that's not what it is. it's something different in this context, in the statutory content, and it's protected. do you agree with that? mr. schnapper: no. if i might explain why. justice gorsuch: briefly. mr. schnapper: i'll do my best. the language that you refer to in section f4 doesn't apply here. justice gorsuch: no. we'll get to that in a minute. let's just take that as given, ok? that i think what, say, google does in picking, choosing, analyzing, or even digesting content just makes it an access software provider, let's take that as g

we have been following the justice department's lead to coordinate the searches with them. so to have granular questions about the decision-making i refer you tot the justice department. >> has the fbi conducted any search at any other location that you are the white house quick. >> we are providing information as this goes on and the activities that have been happening want to speak to the doj practices with the ongoing investigation we have cooperated fully that the president's personal attorneys have provided information to the doj end those that the wilmington residents and today we saw in a statement released by the personal attorney no classified documents were found today we will provideot information with this investigation as it goes on any of the ability to share the american people it's important for them to see cooperated with thiss investigation.to >> i want to be careful to inspect the written integrity of that investigation as appropriate sharing activities we will do that. >> just to be clear they can follow up with that. >> did anyone at the only point tell

people who have these needs in our justice system.e justice department were i do oversee the grantmaking components and our civil litigating asom well as hr acts of justice component which was relaunchedd last may has ben doing work in the space. it has been a unique privilege of mind to really prioritize focus on these issues. i am working with leaders in the office of justice programs enter office of community-oriented police services.officer civil rights division, really trying to understand why we need to change the paradigm and try to put tools and resources behind us. for too long we have really had a criminalization model at the exclusion of other social supports for one thing i often talk about in the aftermath of georgia floyd's murder one of the things that really brought law enforcement and community activists and civil rights groups together was the call for making sure we were not displacing all of these problems such as people facing mental illness and crisis all at the feet of police. we need to have other types of soci

chief justice roberts: justice toyor. justice sotomayor: i do. this has gone further than i thought. your position has gone over further than i thought no provider or user of the interactive mper service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider. ani thought that you started by telling me, if i put in isis, and they just give me a download of information, the teet provider is not liable, correct? under c1 -- i just read to you c1, correct? mr. schnapper: it depends. if they give you everyinthey created -- justice sotomayor: so you are going to the extreme. assume i don'thk you're right. i think you're wrong. that if i put in a search and they give me materials that they believe answers my search no matt h they organize it, that they're ok. your complaint survive if i believe 230 goes that far? mr. schnapper: it depends on wht materials they present you with. twitter may be a cleaner example. its materials created by third parties. hey published is thirdparty materials and th'r

we have to figure out if the justice -- as the justice department how can we support it more and help jurisdictions around the country adopt these best practices so we can all benefit from that approach. ms. thompson: thank you for all of your work. we thank you for joining us today. we are uniquely positioned to address the growing mental health needs of our residents and will continue to work in collaboration across sectors and all levels of government, including the federal government to create powerful solutions. we are so pleased to have you as a partner on this work at the federal level. as we close this session now, we want to give all of you a chance to weigh in on this topic through small group discussions at your tables. on the screen, i hope, you will note the following questions for discussion. first, what gaps do you see currently in the provision of mental health services for justice involved individuals? second, what federal resources and policy changes are needed to support provision of mental health services for justice involved individuals? as you discuss these quest

justice roberts: justice kagan? justice gorsuch? justice kavanaugh? justice barrett? justice barrett: i want to return to the questions about could pewter simulators -- about computer simulators. you said they were inher subjective because it depends what factors you put in. it seems to me if there no genera -- there is no limit how many mapsomputer simulator could generate, surely thativ them the option to ways. in all kinds of different seems to me that under alabama's view of the statute, the plaintiff sat gingles one by coming in with map that was drawn without taking ce into account. why, if there is no limit t number of maps you can generate the different factors you can weigh so long as race is not one, why would that be an reonable burden for a plaintiff to shoulder? ms. khanna: for several reasons. it is important to recognize there are a handful of college prrs to even have the expertise to run these simulations in the first place. if you are going to infuse what was supposed to be aobctive test out the outset with this highly specific and highly technical r

but equal justice, and that's what we're going to get for tyre nichols, equal justice. and ms. rowvaughn, rodney, jamal, michael, kiana, to all his family, grandma, his son. i know we can't bring tyre back, but in this call to action, we establish his legacy and let's never let them forget memphis, because his legacy will be one of equal justice. it will be the blueprint going forward [ applause ] because we have to remember that in less than 20 days when it was five black police officers, captured on a video, engaging in excessive use of force, when they were committing crimes on video that they were terminated, they were arrested, and they were charged. and police chief davis, and i have respect for her saying this, the police chief said that it was important that the community see us take swift action. they said it was important that we move swiftly towards justice. when laquan mcdonald was killed in chicago, and by white police officers, it's important that the community see swift justice, too. when was killed in baton rouge, louisiana, it's important that the commu

, but equal justice and that's what we're going to get for tyre nichols, equal justice. and, miss rowvaughn, rodney, jamal, michael, quiana, to all his family, grandma, his son, i know we can't bring tyre back, but in this call to action, we establish his legacy, and let's never let them forget memphis because his legacy will be one of equal justice. it will be the blueprint going forward because we have to remember that in less than 20 days when it was five black police officers captured on a video engaging in excessive use of force, when they were committing crimes on video, that they were terminated, they were arrested and they were charged and the police chief davis and i have respect for her saying this, the police chief said that it was important that the community see us take swift action. they said it was important that we move swiftly towards justice. well, when laquan mcdonald was killed in chicago and by white police officers, it's important that a community see swift justice too. when alton sterling was killed in batten huge, mitch, it's important that the co

we launched several years ago in 2006 justice and mental health collaboration. that really supports partnerships across government to improve public safety responses in outcomes for people with mental health arco occurring disorders. we've been able to provide 600 grants to over 49 states and as i'm speaking, every grant on mentioning is right now open for solicitation for the fy 23 grant, and we hope we will see more jurisdictions that may not have already taken advantage of them apply. we recently launched as part of that an initiative that is aimed at specifically supporting cross sector partnerships between law enforcement and mental health providers, aimed at getting at the interaction on patrol, it's about peer-to-peer learning opportunities. it's funding and training guys to promote best practices. another solicitation that is currently open and available and i hope naco members will take advantage of it. i want to name a couple more programs, we have through our knowledge lab, if you go online, we have aggregated all our mental health resources. you can

they've been working in open consultation with the department of justice. i'm not going to speak to sort of decision making that the justice department is going to make about how to conduct their investigation. that certainly would be more appropriate to be asked of them, as opposed to us. but, you know, we're being fully cooperative. we're offering up access to the president's personal homes. you know, we've been cooperative with the justice department, ensuring that they have access to materials and handing any materials that are found over to the justice department. like initially was done with the national archives. we're going to continue to be cooperative with the justice department throughout this. >> scott? >> handwritten notes twice now, the fbi has taken, you know, what you would describe as hand-written notes. have they given any explanation to the president's lawyers from the white house why those notes are different? i assume they're not taking every single hand-written note they come across in the house. what is nit particular about that? >> i

we're cooperating fully with the justice department. we're cooperating fully with the justice department and ensuring they have access to the house. the rehoboth house today. the president is moving quickly to get them access to the information they need. they can move forward with the thorough review. >> i want to follow up with the handwritten notices. is the white house aware what specific, what they actually are and what they contain? you're saying they may say something about his time as vice president. what level of sensitivity might be contained in those handwritten notes? >> that's a good question. i'm not going to be able to speak to the underlying contents of what the justice department may be looking as as part of their ongoing investigation. as they move forward with the investigation, the president, attorneys, white house certainly are going to be fully cooperative with that. we're following their lead to ensure they have what they need in order to conduct a further review. >> reporter: have they told you specifically? >> i

justice department and i'm at the justice department. we asked these questions every day to doj officials, we ask these questions every day to special counsel robert hur's team and don't get answers. seems to be a black hole of information when the white house says i encourage you to ask the justice department and we ask the justice department and the justice department by nature does not speak about active investigations. an important point to bring up, yesterday we reported that the fbi searched the penn biden center, the first location where documents were found in early november. the fbi searched the penn biden center in mid november but this was not made public until it hit news reports yesterday. so the question is, if the fbi searched the penn biden center in mid november a few months ago, why did it take them a few months to even make it to wilmington, let alone rehobeth beach where they did today as john mentioned, the president has been there several times since those documents were found tin early november, obviously he knew a

what is justice 40. so i'm here to tell you just a little bit about what is justice 40. and while he was still candidate biden and 2020 uh, i said on the call with him and about 26. other leaders, uh, environmental justice leaders around the country. and then candidate biden. asses is like, what can i do? what can i do to help you in the climate, arena and environmental justice? i want to get it right. and he sat there with us, and everyone gave their um thoughts as to what needs to happen in the appalachian region in the south out west. so you got a good picture from everyone around the country, saying this is what we need. and when he was able to put that plan together, he came back and said, is this right? you're the first to see this before i release it. and so i want you to know that because this wasn't some we're just gonna put this so called justice 40 of fly by night out there. this was a lot of work before he even became president. that went into what is justice 40 today? and so with that um once he was able to get this out there. and won the election. he decide

it's another decision offered by justice alito. justice alito denied disclosing the decision.ne actually pressing the justices. last year, justice clarence thomas was the lone dissent against a supreme court decision to let the house january 6th committee obtained trump's presidential record records. months later, the washington post -- thomas's wife, ginni thomas, had texted trump trump's chief of staff, mark meadows, in the lead up to january 6th, urging trump to overturn the election results. any lower court judge would be forced to recuse. clarence thomas? the lone dissent. none of this is, shall we say, a good look. nor is it normal for our country's justice system. and that is why today, democratic senator chris murphy and democratic congressman hank johnson introduced bills to make ethics rules for the highest court in this land. joining us now is the man himself, chris murphy, senator from the great state of connecticut. senator murphy, thank you for being here with us tonight. can you tell me what you want to do in this bill? >> what we want to do is very simple. we w

justice kagan? justice gorsuch? >> no thank you. >> justice kavanaugh? justice barrett? justice jackson? three minutes for rebual, mr. waxman. >> thank you. guns and banks appears to be most of the hypotheticals. i want to go to justice kagan's question about the bank and know your customer and what your customer is doing will stop i will start, because there are special know your customer rules involving banks, so i will start with guns and to the point that my friend brought up about someone walks into a gun store and says, "i hate my wife, sell me a gun. i will kill my wife, sell me a glock. " if you buys the glock and does not kill his wife there is no aiding and abetting. if he killed his wife there obviously is. walmart is the largest gun dealer, i believe, in the united states. they know for certainty that some of the people who buy guns are criminals. some of them are drug gangs. some of them are terrorists. but they don't know anybody in particular. they know that they are there. there has been a newspaper report. the state department has issued a pronouncement.

equal justice. and that's what we're gonna get for tyree. no cause equal justice and miss mo, miss ravonne. rodney jamal, michael kiana. charles family, grandma is sir. i know we can bring tyree back, but in this card asha we are stablish his legacy and less. never let them forget memphis because his legacy will be one of equal justice. it will be the blueprint going forward. because we have to remember that in less than 20 days, when it was 5 black police officers captured on a video, it engaged in an excess of use of force. when they were command crabs on video that they were terminated. they were arrested and they were charged it and the police chief davis and i have respect were her sanders, the police chief said that it was important that the community see us take swift action. they said it was important that we move swiftly to was jeff. this well, when the qua mcdonna was killed in chicago and by white police officers it's important that a community to see swift justice don't wear out to sterl

justice. kagan: your basic argument is not wart gingles. mr. lacour: y. >>gignles meant reasonably configured in a way that justice alito suggests, the no -- any of our cases that thcot did need it reasonably configured in the way that justic alito suggests. take aooat the district. does the dtrict has reasonable lines or are you doing something crazy? does the district incorporate communities of an inre? does it make sure that traditional districting criteria -- criteria satisfied? if you can come in with a map that looks like that, no one here can attest that even. maybe you do. i do not know. the judges below found that question easy. en you go on, this is just a precondition to show that you have a map with traditional districting criteria. they have that map. mr. lacour: again, i am not sure why the court has not spoken out traditional principles and reconfiguration. lst the court has never suggested that m in the state that it can never enact itself under theta's protection clause. >> wh

so -- >> yeah. >> so, if you're looking at justice and bringing people to justice, it's got to be done. >> i mean, because it doesn't get easier as we head into a republican primary calendar. claire, i want to come back to you and show you what congressman jamie raskin said about the elephant in the room, that this committee exists when i think 19 republicans who were at a meeting in the roosevelt room in the west wing of the white house, plotting with donald trump about how to overturn the election, half a dozen of them sought pardons, scott perry had his phone seized. and january 6th didn't even come up today. here's congressman raskin on that. >> the public is skeptical about this strange new venture with the strange new name that's being launched because so many of the members involved have done everything they can to block the january 6th committee's investigation of the worst domestic violent attack on an american election in our history. and the public wonders members who refused to comply with congressional subpoenas themselves should be issing them to other people. >> i mean,

justice kagan? gorsuch? justice kavanaugh? justice barrett? >> one question.one difference between yoef, your position and the univeitof north carolina, is from the studerspective, and you got at this in some of your answers to justice sotomayor earlier on, outhe confederate statues, and white supremacist groups, fm the student perspective, student groups, the educational benefits to the students might be in the rmf counteracting feelings of ion, sticking out, not being supported. in light of that, i am wondin ifave anything to say about affinity groups and af housing? i think one thing, at least in so far as i was arof the time, grutter was decided, certainly bakke, th phenomenon where you have groups say, where black students and allies can live, or black student groups, same for hispanic groups, et cetera, was not a phenomenon that was arnd then. i think one of the benefits is that it allows minority students to band together, to reduce some of the feelings of isolation that you have been talking about? do yourlits have a position on that, and what that wou

until tyre nichols gets justice. i'm going to climb until every one gets justice. going to climb until we change the laws. we are mount climbers. we are not day traders. we are mount climbers. if god is before us, that is more than the whole world is against us. he walks with me. he talks with me. he tells me i'm his own. he has been food routes hungry. water when i was thirsty. he is my rock. he is my rock. he is my rock. he is my sword and shield. he is my will. remember the will. yes. yes. let us have a call to action. let us go forward to get justice. let us all be mountain climbers. don't stop until we get to the top. many years ago, there was a young boy killed at a boot camp. those in charge killed this boy. it was a lead young lawyer who came to stand with students in tallahassee florida. i went down, and we let some marches. after that, a couple years later, you've could see a man who started politics nation. he wanted me to meet this man and he set my office. they want to be security guards. they killed his son. he had not heard the case. but the man star

justice kagan, justice gorsuch, justice kavanaugh, justice?i want to return to t questions about the simulators. you are saying that they're inherentlysubjective because epends on how you weigh factors what factors you put in. i want to make sure that i understand what you mean by . it seems to me that if you can generate, if there is no limit on how many maps a computer stimulated can generate, surely that gives them the optionto weigh in all kinds ferent things. italso seems to me, maybe a misunderstanding, butalso seems to methat under alabama's statute, the plaintiffs satisfiesgingles one by coming in with one map that was drawn with taking race into account. why, if there is no limit to the number ofmaps you can rate and the different factors you can weigh, so long's races in one, why would that be anunreasonable burden for plaintiffs to accept? >>for several reasons. first,it is important to coize that there are a handful of college professors who even have the expertiseto run thesesimulations in the first place. if you'rg to infuse what

the opinion of 11 circuit court chief justice would certainly set a hard mark.ollow it. i would put a big, big check, and did turn on the misbehavior of the court that they now know there is no method for investigation. >> they could conceivably come up with a report saying that in this instance, we believe justice thomas should've recused himself in this instance, had he been a member of this court we would've required him to recuse himself. as you say, that would not force him to recuse himself the next time, but there would not be a public demonstration of, this is what the standards are. and then it would be up to thomas whether he would want to continue right. >> we are waiting. the pressure is mounting, and i think it's mounting among the rest of the federal judiciary. they have to live under rules, and they have to follow procedures. i think that they are getting a little bit annoyed that the court's behavior is consistently, repeatedly out of bounds, that they have to respect. >> there are six republicans appointed in the supreme court. three of them are

you argue restorative justice is necessary and recognizing themes -- these victims and restoring justiceto say. but possible and necessary, what does that look like? >> what i will say is that we are in the moment of repair, reparations, redress. it is not just an american moment, it is an international moment. this is going on all over the world. committees are looking back to appreciate the devastation. colonialism and jim crow come to mind. and i argued that this particular set of victims, and i use the word victims intentionally here, somewhat use the word survivors, victims, survivors. they are known. we know who these families are. this is not ancient history. to say slavery's ancient history, but this is from our area. we talked about the great generation from world war ii. we honor their service. we appreciate all that they do. so this is close to our time, and it is measurable. we can appreciate what these families lost, we have the tools to measure what it is they lost and we know who they are and so all of the factors that would make it perhaps more difficult to institute and

so what kind of justice are people in ukraine seeking justice which can provide them to return their names? what do we mean? because when we are in word and scale or crimes, grow so large that it's impossible to recognize all the stores. and we start to know how we're turned people into the numbers. but people and the numbers and only justice can return people. their names tell us this. how can, how can war crimes committed in ukraine be prosecuted legal proceedings? we cannot wait when the war will end or justice must be independent of the magnitude of we can through seems father and the history of humankind convincingly prove that sooner or later authoritarian regime collapse and their leaders who see themselves, archibald appeared under the court. now tell us you treated today about your reflections one year since russia invited ukraine, and you said that ukraine is a vivid example. the people fighting for freedom and democracy are much stronger than quote, the 2nd army of the world. are these ideals enough for ukraine to win the war? this is not just a war between 2 states. it's

justice roberts, justice alito, they've testified before congress in the past about their disdain, ory don't think they should be bound by the same total combat does every other federal court judge. their policy makers, not judge. as they're making -- >> not interpreting law. the new justices, gorsuch, kavanaugh, coney barrett, they ran campaigns for the supreme court. just like we run campaigns for elected office in the legislator. my worry is that they don't believe that they should be bound by the code that every other justices bound by. because they think they aren't judges, they believe their policy makers. >> i think they're probably people magical peyton enjoy the fact that they're making law. they're effectively the functioning branch of the republican party in a lot of ways. the republicans in the legislator are busy having hearings about covid coming from mars or wherever. other republicans, conservative justices on the court a crafting law. i had a magic and that the republican caucus has probably -- to do anything that would curb that ability to do something like that. do
