law sb 202 is a 53 section law. it has spawned several lawsuits including one the lawyer's committee is involved in. but for the shelby county decision sb 202 would not have been allowed to take effect until there was an opportunity to determine if its impact to voters of color. at least some aspects of sb 202 appear to be clearly retrogressive and probably would not have been proposed in the first place let alone passed. this is most thoroughly represented by georgia talking about voting by mail where they were adopted after the november 2020 election where notably voters of color used absentee ballot to an unprecedented degree. in the cases of black and asian voters used absentee voting at higher rates than the white voters. 4. >>> thank you for your testimony. our next witness is t. russell noble. he's a senior attorney for judicial watch. from 2005 to 2012 he was with the division of justice. he received his ba from the university of mississippi. he served as a law clerk to the supreme court of mississippi. mr.

laws. those requiring voters to present identification to vote, those requiring voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. and those governing provision of multilingual voting support. since the supreme court back in 2013, in the case of shelby county, a number of states have adopted very strict voter i.d. laws requiring voters to present a qualifying voter i.d. in order to vote. some doing so immediately after the court's decision. voter i.d. laws have been shown to disproportionately burden minority voters. that is a demonstrated fact. i don't believe there are many experts that would dispute that. voter i.d. laws have been shown to disproportionately burden minority voters. african-american and latino and native american voters, for example, are less likely to have qualifying forms of i.d. they are particularly burdened by the cost of obtaining i.d.s and studies have shown that strict voter i.d. laws disproportionately decrease minority turnout. we s

it was a case upholding a horrific law that sadly served as the basics for eugenics law in nazi germany. what the poor 16-year-old white woman in that case, who had been raped by her nephew, what she needed was actually a law that would have protected her from the unethical, unconstitutional reaches of a state law that seeks to undermine her human dignity and integrity. and i wanted to make those three points and i'm happy to turn the floor back over and answer any additional questions. chair blumenthal: all of those three points were very, very well said, including what you first said. namely, the women's health protection act would in no way for bid women from having ultrasounds. it would simply prohibit laws that require women to receive unnecessary ultrasound they do not want and do not need, and simply delay a medical procedure, the health care they need and serve. i have a few more questions, but i see that senator hawley has arrived. if you want to proceed with your questions, or i can ask a few so you can get settled. go right ahead. sen. hawley: thank you so much. thanks for wa

a real stretch in the law.e have to keep trying, have to keep doing better but the struggle. >> there are many notes of thanks coming through our q and a. thank you for speaking about love and hearing one another. often women believe shaming and revenge is the way to go. i wonder if you would comment on that. >> i already have in a way. my basic 5 that i developed in my earlier book anger and forgiveness is this retributive attitude, proportional payback may be evolutionarily hardwired to some degree but is a confused kind of thinking. why should you think proportional payback does any good for anyone? think about capital punishment. i'm just about to teach next week a class on opera, i'm teaching dead man walking, about capital punishment. the parents of those murdered children are so miserable but they somehow think that if they can get this person to be put to death then they will have accomplished something. as one point, beginning to think differently, he is beginning to see this whole crusade to kill the

the law demonstrates that georgia's recent voting rights law violates section 2 of the voting rightsct. i want to thank the voting section for their tremendous efforts on this complaint and everything that they do. and i want to express my appreciation to the acting u.s. attorney and staff of the northern district of georgia for their partnership and support. our complaint today alleges that several provisions of s.b. 202 were passed with a discriminatory purpose in violation of the voting rights act. the georgia legislature passed s.b. 202 through a rushed process that departed from normal practice and procedure. the version of the bill that passed the state senate on march 8 was three pages long. days later, the bill ballooned into over 90 pages in the house. the house held less than two hours of floor debate on the newly inflated s.b. 202 before governor kemp signed it into law the same day. these legislative actions occurred at a time when the black population in georgia continues to steadily increase. and after a historic election that saw record voter turnout across the state,

the big question is, is that compatible with french law and french case law? it is quite possible that the top court would object to those restrictions. after all, diversity students in france can wear hijab. there are many places where -- another provision, before i forget, the new law is drafted would also prohibit private citizens, women who accompany students -- those women, even though they are not public employees, would also be prohibited from wearing the hijab. this of the questions that are raised. >> michael, i will ask you, if a similar law were adopted in the u.s. for bidding -- for bidding -- permitting high school students from wearing hijab, would it be consistent with the first amendment? michael: it would not be a hard case. we struck down immediately. it has two problems. the first is discrimination against a particular sect. if there were some kind of a neutral law that required every student's faces to be exposed, maybe. that would raise a free exercise problem. but specifically outlawing something in the terms of its religious significance

a police officer is not above the law and george floyd is not beneath the law. after a thorough review, prosecutors believe they have probable cause that anyone including someone operating with the authority of law and law enforcement has violated the law, our prosecutors must be vigorous, visible and swift. i'm speaking to community now. we need every community member to continue the call for real reform and meaningful change. peacefully, constructively but clearly. this is the moment for change and your call for it is making it happen. this means everyone who wants to live in a society with dignity and respect and has core values and everyone who wants to be safe on the street and homes and everyone who wants the help they need, everyone who wants their loved ones to get home safely, this is what we need to do. what will happen if we don't do it? we will go into a sike will long inaction. we must make a choice to break the paradime, the choice to act for accountability and justice and choice to transform ourselves and our country. for the sake of the lives tha

and other laws were drafted. and many countries have kind of model their laws after ours. one of the issues with this is because technology has changed so quickly is that we don't really have the civil liberty trail is not really keeping up. i don't know if there was any judicial interference or oversight over this, this law. now there will be on the prosecutor said something, glimpse that that was really profound, was talk about, you know, the procedures and the, the source and method is really one of the things that they, that they want to protect. there's always that tension between intelligence and law enforcement because intelligence wants to protect source method, law enforcement to put bad guys in jail. and that tension is usually where civil liberties comes to play. and we have classified information procedure act, which allows us to do certain things behind the veil. but at the end of the day, if we want to put bad people in prison in the united states, we have to release discovery. and i think one of th

that's discussing use of force and that is the law of the land for law enforcement no matter what agency you work for. we have to remember that in this country we have 18,500 law enforcement agencies employing over 850,000 officers but we have to follow the same rules. many of those are set by supreme court decisions. we also talk about the duty to intervene, we talk about the duty to render aid during an arrest, we talk all use of force should be documented. we have discussed for years the mandatory participation in the national use of force database. i keep pushing in my speeches to law enforcement and police chiefs specifically, we have to participate in the national use of force database. no statistician will tell you can rely on data if you are only getting 40% to 50% of the data. we need to have 100% contributing to the database. here's why this is so important. a lot of law enforcement agencies don't report to the use of force database because they have not used force that meets the criteria. they are not reporting those zero use of force. that is just as important to the national

a police officer is not above the law and george floyd is certainly not beneath the law. when after a thorough review, prosecutors believe they have probable cause that anyone, including someone operating with the authority of law and law enforcement has violated the law, our prosecutors must be vigorous, visible, and swift. i'm speaking to community now. we need every community member to continue to call for real reform and meaningful change. peacefully, constructively, but clearly. this is a moment for change, and your call for it is making it happen. this means everyone who wants to live in a society with dignity and respect as core values, everyone that wants to be safe in their homes and on the street, everyone who wants to get the help that they need, everyone who wants their love ones to get home safely, this is what we need to do. what will happen if we don't do it? we'll slip deeper into a century-long cycle of inaction. we can and we must make another choice. the choice to break the old paradigm and end the cycle of inaction. the choice to act for accountability

law. the first of them set to go into effect on july 1st of this year, less than one month away. after that date, some college athletes will be able to avail themselves of opportunities related to their name, image and likeness and some will not. schools and programs in some states will be able to gain a recruiting advantage under these new laws, and some will not. one of the state laws will be going into effect in my state of mississippi and i'm glad to know that student athletes at ole miss, msu, southern miss and other institutions will not be completely disadvantaged, however inconsistencies between state laws are already emerging. the only way to ensure that all student athletes across the country have the same n.i.l. rights is for congress to act. i understand that n.i.l. is not the only issue of importance in the world of college athletics. we have spent a significant amount of time on issues such as providing better health care and support for educational outcomes among our college

first of laws -- are laws that protect infants. this year alone, the states of alabama kentucky and south dakota and wyoming have passed laws requiring physicians to provide medical care to these infants. protecting a child who is born alive should not be even remotely controversial. second, on laws that protect unborn children from being killed by horrific dismemberment abortions. these abortions known as dilation and evacuation are horrendous. they have no place in civilized society. in these abortions, a physician cuts and rips apart the unborn child's body and extracts piece by piece, arm by arm, leg by leg what moments before had been a living human being. the unborn child dies the same way that an adult would die who had been dismembered. bleeding to death as his or her body is torn apart. if an individual murdered an animal in this way, tearing apart a kitten or a puppy, everyone would understandably be horrified and demand that individual be prosecuted. how can it be that unborn children should be protected less than animal

he argued that the question changed the law. it requires a reconsideration of these rules of law. let me explain what that law is somehow that interacted with the fourth amendment. to do that, i have to explain how 19th-century lawyers thought about constitutional law. legal scholars today call 19th-century way of thinking classical legal thought. according to this, the world was divided into two spheres. public sphere and the private sphere. the government could regulate the public sphere and these could be called public rights. an example i discussed in my book is traffic laws. traffic laws regulate the use of public roads and highways for the public safety. by contrast, individuals had to have the right to be left alone from the government. in the private sphere. it could be called private rights. an example is private property rights. applying this classical legal thought to the fourth amendment, officers could search or sees things in the private sphere without a warrant but the warrant requirement did not apply to the public sphere. officers don't need a warrant to make a tr

sadly that law was not the only voter suppression law my state enacted. there are ongoing legal challenges to a voter id law that the state enacted in 2018 to implement a new state constitutional amendment. other forms of voter suppression continue to impact minority voter's ability to vote in north carolina. north carolina is not alone in its efforts to restrict the right to vote. states across the country have enacted dozens of restrictive voting laws since 2013 including six states that have enacted restricted voting laws this year alone. according to the center for justice at new york university's law school as of march 2021 there have been 361 bills with restrictive voting provisions introduced in 47 states as part of this year's state legislative session. those numbers have certainly grown since then. many of these bills seek -- excuse me -- seek to make absentee voting harder, impose stricter voter id requirements, or undermine the power of local elected officials. in the absence of an effective preclearance provision it is unsurprising that discri

i kind of knew this story about the law themselves and these kind of oppressive southern state laws that were known to historians and have been written about by historians most recently in a good book by a historian named michael so we know that about these kind of oppressive laws and a southern n white people's fears of free black sailors but what hadn't really been documented was a fascinating successful movement in massachusetts to change the course of the state legislature and then all these other things started to appear like the privileges of an immunities clause and getting congress involved and here it is again in the records of congress and so that it takes up a chapter and a half in the book and then it comes back and it turns out when they are talking about the civil rights act of 1866, people in congress are talking about those issues in the massachusetts campaign and so it is a thread throughout that i didn't know it was going to find and it's really fun to keep finding those connections. >> and it was fascinating for us as well for all of us i'm sure who will be reading and

drug laws? in ohio, democratic caller, we'll go to you first, good morning, welcome to the conversation. what do you think? >> greta, i'm 86 years old, just a dumb tennesseean. we have no laws. crooks, politicians, and the government has their own three ring circus. a good example is predatory lending that i lost my home to in 2001. now my electric company, called aes now, i got a $100 termination fee. it's not the money but -- >> tom, let's stick to the topic, though. what about drug laws in this country? >> 86 years old, i've never taken other drug other than prescribed which i'm ready to quit taking because they're all connected into the scheme. >> all right, tom. evan light on facebook, abolish the laws prohibiting drugs, regulate them and tax their sales just like alcohol. this decision will lower domestic crime and end narco trafficking and terrorism. it will also lower fatalities and addiction rates. we have everything to gain by legalizing drug sales and usage as long as the market is co

out of o law school. there's a large influx of women into law school into 1973. we were about 15% of my class in law school. but women were five of the top ten students in the class. we all felt very optimistic about our opportunities until we start applying for jobs. and we had ensued a lot of dell's law firms. that's not a way to endear oneself to which one was joining. that was a really change agent who are involved in that mitigation were tough on the women involved. difference.de a it is a long and complicated story that would take more time than we have today. i really offer kudos to my friends and allies i will say one of the cases went to trial in the lead lawyers for the law firm to get most involved in bar activity chart or career in the dallas bar association. walmart shot out to jim coleman by now deceased mentor, when jim found out i was going to testify in the case, and i did not tell him about it. i just did not bring it up, up. jim found out i was going to testify and came into my office a

it is the first civil rights law. so if you are familiar with the civil rights act of 1964, the sort of biggest most significant civil rights measure of the 20th century civilil rights movement, that is our touchstone in a way for the federal civil rights law. this was the first time congress ever passed a civil rights measure designed to mitigate racial inequality and it happened in 1866. so, this was designed to take the country from the abolition of slavery to beginning to define what the basic rights of all free people should be. and it was passed as you said it finally passed over the president's veto in april of 66 but first earlier than that and so it was to kind of situate people it was after the ratification of the 13th amendment that had abolished slavery but it was before the ratification of the 14th amendment. and so, what people in congress are looking at is well we have decided we are changing the constitution finally getting back to the earlier conversation like finally giving congress the unquestionabl

all the institutions truly are profoundly law abiding, and if that officer breaks the law or does something questionable that he or she will at the very the suffer. and how is this ascertained? because there are inspector general's who travel around to from station to station office to office all the time and they conduct their reports and they are they are powerful and they do their jobs very well. supervisors will have huge consequences if they have allowed something to occur one little and slightly different perspective on some of that of course. so because all of that is sort of internal relying, isn't it? well, the, the only oversight outside ultimate, these, the department of justice and that only, i don't mean to minimize the department of justice and our elected officials, the oversight committees who will then, who are empowered to take all sorts of steps to make sure that people like me or don't break the law and it really is a rare occurrence or have one quick and only be a moment. no running out of time. yeah, go ahead. i'm going to tell me if, if an american name or person was

just as she tells a story not only did her mother-in-law say this. later when the justice would tell the story she would follow it by saying it's been really helpful with my colleagues as well, another thing about that and shows the justice had a really good sense of humor and great timing also. >> this is a great question did you injustice ginsburg ever discussed what her first year of being a supreme court justice was like. >> that's a good question i am trying to think i don't remember have a conversation per se about that but i will say she wrote s more opinions that year and she did any other year so she was very active, what i remember is talking to her about being a judge more generally and i remember her saying that she absolutely love being a judge and she loved being a judge on the d.c. circuit which is the appellate court below the supreme court and she was a judge there for 13 years before she went on the supreme court and she would say if i'd never been put on the supreme court i would still love it i absolutely love being a judge and it

mayors have the power to shape and enforce laws in their cities, but they cannot control the laws in neighboring cities and states even though a gun legally bought their ends up in their streets. mayor scott said 80% of the guns in baltimore work -- were acquired outside the city, there's something we can do about that. it is part of our strategy with the justice department to create strike forces to crackdown on illegal gun trafficking, supplying weapons from new york, chicago, los angeles, washington, d.c., the bay area. law enforcement will be able to better prosecute illegal trafficking of guns across city and state lines. illegal guns sold from the back door of a gun shop in virginia do not end up in a murder scene in baltimore. if they do, local law enforcement can better trace those gun sales back to the shady gun dealer and hold them accountable. police chief of the -- excuse me, police chief murphy of baton rouge, louisiana talked about how he is core knitting more closely with the bureau of alcohol, -- coordinating more closely with the bureau of alcohol, and firearms. this

rule of law disappeared. i take you to a place where there was notla a window in downtown louisville that one could look through without seeing a piece of wood. i take you to a place where faith and law enforcement by communities that were also racked by the highest homicide rate in the history of louisville, a community where overdose rates were up 5% for many of the dangerous substances that we are talking about here. i take you to a community that was broken. and as jackson, the attorney general in 1940, send to a group of attorneys in his favorite speech, he said humility is the number one characteristic that you need is a u.s. attorney, and i found in the summer of 2020 and louisville that is going to be the case whether you want it or not. because i take you back to -- and i'm so grateful to this committee, and i hope there is no buyers remorse, i'm grateful for the committee moving forward in my nomination and allowing me to serve as the attorney in 2017. after i took that oath, i was under the directi

that is the way our title iii, our wiretap law, and other laws were drafted.her countries have modeled their laws after hours. one issue with this is because technology has changed so quickly, the civil liberty trail is not keeping up, i don't know if there was any judicial interference or oversight over this. there will be, something glenn said that was profound is he talked about the procedures and the methods -- it is really one of the things they want to protect and there is always tension between intelligence and law enforcement because intelligence wants to protect source methods and law enforcement want to put bad guys in jail. that tension is where civil liberties come to play. we have a classified information procedure act which allows us to do certain things behind the veil, but if we want to put bad people in prison in the united states we have to release discovery. one of the things about this effort is because now it is in the open, they can actually do discovery. because they can do discovery, they can start putting people in prison. and that is

federal law we will act.keeping that promise, today today the department of justice is suing the state of georgia. our complaint alleges that recent changes georgia selections loss were knackered with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of georgians to vote on account of their race or color in violation of section two of the voting rights act. several studies show that georgia experience record voter turnout and participation rates in the 2020 election cycle, approximately two thirds of eligible voters in the state cast a ballot in the november election, just over the national average. this is cause for celebration. then in march 2021, chartist legislature passed sb 202. many of that make it harder for people to vote. the complaint alleges the state enacted those restrictions for the purpose of deny or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color. in a few moments, assistant attorney general park will talk in more detail about this case, the u.s. versus georgia. i want to thank the staff

differ obviously the national law comes into play and platforms have to adhere to national law in the jurisdictions in which they operate a france has adopted quite a restrictive. sort of digital hate law that imposes harsh fines for platforms that fail to take down hateful speech and so, you know that arguably, you know, i think from a us lens people would argue that provision like that might be in contravention of international law might go too far and yet the platforms are certainly bound to it, but i think what it comes to the oversight board international law is the right reference point. it's important to understand though. it is not the notion is not that it applies directly and automatically the platforms it does it, you know, international law fines governments and was developed to address and circum. powers of government so it requires a kind of inductive reasoning to think about how that power ought to apply to private company. i think there's some ideas in international law that are helpful, you know the notion that a restriction on freedom of speech needs to be enumerated

lieber wrote that, quote, slavery exists by municipal law, not by the law of nature. and men, by nature, are free and that slavery belongs to the municipal law where it exists. the laws of war meant that the war demanded such reasoning. municipal law falls from them like scales. men stand opposed to one another in war simply as men under the laws in usages of war which is a branch of international will you. the origins of this natural law argument can be found in the writings of abolitionists decades prior to war. halleck argued it does not belong to the military to decide upon the relation between master and slave. no fugitive slaves will be admitted within our lines. the orders recognized african-americans on the basis of natural law which affirmed their humanity as opposed to to the principle that foregrounded slave law. lieber made an argument that established the legal framework for how congress and the president would address the status of enslaved and free african-americans under martial law. confederate secretary of war charged that lieber's orders were design

my book argues that because of cars and a need for traffic laws and traffic law enforcement, that actually was the most significant reason for the development of modern policing as we know it today. modern policing becoming professionalized, weaponized, even increasing deference. i think it is the development of professionalized policing that has informed fourth amendment jurisprudence, even in the private sphere. i mention how in the common law, there is no warrant exception for searches of homes. the first exception for hot pursuit of a felon appears in the mid 20th century, and by then, definitely police are known as professionalized crime fires -- fighters. the social history of the policing as a profession informs the private side of fourth amendment law. james: thank you. we have time for one last question here. i will use this 1 -- can you make any suggestions on how your book could be used with high school students who are researching issues around driving while black? you mentioned i think at the outset how it can be used in discriminatory ways. prof. seo: yes. i love this questio

whether that made the law unconstitutional. and if the law must follow as a result. the supreme court not dealing with those issues. and saying look, plaintiffs, you don't have the standing to bring this case to us. we can't even hear this case. it's interesting, reading part of this opinion, the supreme court, in a sense, as reflected in the dissent, from alito and gorsuch, they twisted themselves into a pretzel to come up with a way to uphold the affordable care act. since the penalty is zero dollars, there's no enforcement if you don't get insurance. therefore, you can't be injured. no one is going to come after you. and what we saw in the dissent, is exasperation of the fact that the seven justices found a way to uphold the law on this issue of standing. saying of course, justice alito in dissent, of course the states have standing. they have to bear the penalties and pay the costs when it comes to providing health care in the exchanges. but no doubt, this is a major victory for president joe biden. taking office just six months ago. and in those six months, his

i would echo what was said about a law degree, a law degree is really a ticket to success. it gives you such a wide breadth of knowledge that you can use in whatever career you undertake. i know many successful business people who never practice law a day but the knowledge they have his made them very effective leaders in their profession. so i think the answer is we all expect and hope we will live to see the day when a women will be the president. and since most the people on this call are judges, or lawyers, or law student we would all be very proud if that person was a lawyer. >> i always go back to why not a woman president in the united states? i grew up in india and i emanate my role with gandhi back in the 70s when she was the first woman prime minister of the nation that was so large, billions of people. and then you have of israel and you have margaret thatcher and great britain. why not the united states? that is the question i am always left with. and of course judges can run for office if they choose to. >> i agreed judge, the question is why not? not again but

not the law.california has a program that allows anybody to harvest ballots. a union member can walk up to a colleagues yours and encourage them to vote in a particular way, political party operatives can do the same. there is really no requirement that somebody actually signed the outside of that person's ballot and they tell the voters who they represent and whether there is a receipt or any chain of custody. there are literally zero safeguards in law except they not be tampered with and be committed to the elections office within three days. beyond the law, test, beyond that, the law has no requirements. senate members and union members were being harassed by state law enforcement. when the california republican party sought to implement it went above and beyond the law and the legal requirement. they were not harassed by the attorney general's office and district attorneys and election officials on twitter. one of our low-level field staff had his life turned upside down and yet other candidat
