. >> adolphus pruitt is head of the local naacp chapter which filed a federal civil rights complaintthe st louis county police for disproportionately targeting blacks. >> a young black kid can live in an urban area and when he leaves his house and he's going for a walk, or he's going to work, he's going to school, he's subjected to be stopped by the police, he's subjected to be questioned, he's subjected to have to show identification, he's subjected to be run through the system to see if he has any oustanding warrants. and in some cases it happens for no reason at all. >> even if they avoid the police, these young men have other odds stacked against them: the unemployment rate for african americans in this county is three times that of whites. >> i mean st louis is probably one of the most segregated communities in the country, both racially and socio-economically. as african-americans move in, whites move out. and what happens also with that is that some of the highest paying jobs, some of the best of the living conditions go with them. >> among black males aged 16 and 24, the unem

in just a moment we'll be hearing from indiana attorney general greg zeller, at lunch, scott pruitt whoas the first to challenge the irs in court. in between, we will have one panel of scholars debating the legal merits of these cases and another debating the impact this issue is having and could have on health care reform. we're proud to hold this conference today and proud of the role the cato institute has played in this and other areas to make presidents of both parties respect the rule of law. now it's my honor to introduce our opening keynote speaker for the event. on october 8, 2013, greg zeller became the fourth person and the second attorney general to file a legal challenge to that irs regulation in indiana v. irs. he was joined as a plaintiff by 39 indiana school systems. those public school systems complained that they have had to eliminate jobs and reduce the hours of noncertified support staff including bus drivers, food service staff and instructional assistants to fewer than 30 hours a week because the irs is unlawfully subjecting them to the employer mandate even though

we have just gotten word that oklahoma attorney general scott pruitt also promises a lawsuit. in a statement if the president takes an executive action that violates his constitutional duty to faithfully immigration immigration laws by congress we will take action to hold him accountable. before we get to the panel one more excerpt of the president's speech which has just been handed to it quote the actions i'm taking are not only lawful they are the kind of actions taken by every single republican president and democratic president by for the past half century. those members of congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better or question the wisdom of me acting where congress has failed. i have one answer, pass a bill. judge? you think it's unconstitutional? >> the president's power is profoundly unconstitutional. here is why. the president has the prosecutorial. ratchet up or ratchet town what the. [ laughter ] is going to do. he says ratchet down the deportations. ronald reagan did that. george h.w. bush can do that. he can do that for a class o

on the president's executive order for illegals but a republican oklahoma attorney general scott pruitt is not smileling, he is suing. over what? >> i think what we are focused upon is this executive amnesty, the executive branch doing that which only the legislative branch can do. the president said, pass a bill. but the legislative prerogative is to pass a bill or not pass a bill and because congress has not eighted it didn't give him license to fill in the void. with this executive action it put the states in a very adversarial position. we trigger state benefits now because they're lawfully present in the state of oklahoma and state medicaid, state welfare benefits. this is injuring the state and states all over the ken tribecause of the unlawful action of the president. >> that's really the backbone of this suit. it's costing your state as it is a lot of cities and municipalities directly affected by this n fries of deportation of illegals. it's a costly issue, not political. >> that's right exactly right. these individuals are subject to deportation today and the president has sus

. >> professor o'donnell, this is what ty pruitt, the cousin and spokesperson for brown family, had to say today. said the police are getting ready for war when they should be getting ready for a trial. that to me means they have already made their decision. what do you make of that? and is that from what you're hearing the sense on the ground from a lot of the people? >> it's impossible to predict what's going to happen, even though it seems it's -- i think the law is obviously very favorable to the police just generally. that's generic in every situation, no matter how it's viewed outrageously from outside the grand jury room. which really gives the impetus why we need police reform to engage in real serious structuring of police discretion so if people are engaging people for walking in the street, there is compelling reason for doing that. it's important to focus on this instant case but time is of the essence in ferguson, and probably in hundreds of communities across the country, that are in a similar kind of situation where the police are going one direction and the community is

i saw attorney general greg abbott in texas and scott pruitt in oklahoma have said they're going to file a lawsuit. i would i guess, although i don't know, that that lawsuit will be based on sort of anti-commandeering concept of the refusal to force immigration laws has now imposed a huge additional cost on the states. standing will be difficult there as well. there's of course, the lawsuit senator sessions referred to by the i.c.e. agent filed by secretary of kansas. although the district judge said he believed the president had acted unlawfully, that case was dismissed on standing ground but this had argument before the circuit court of appeals. i heard some talk union workers or other workers saying we can't find jobs precisely because these work permits are given out to illegal immigrants. i don't want to prejudge merit but standing is going to be a tough issue with respect to any of those. when you add in traditional argument about really this is just an exercise of prosecutorial discretion, that will make it a little tougher. >> can i just concur in that. i'm not overly optimistic

there are at least two states attorneys general, scott pruitt in oklahoma and greg abbott of texas have said they're going to file a lawsuit. i would guess, although i don't know, that that lawsuit will be based on sort of an anti-commandeering concept of the refusal to enforce immigration laws has now imposed a huge additional cost on the states. standing will be difficult there as well. there's, of course, the lawsuit that senator sessions referred to by the i.c.e. agent that was filed by secretary of state from kansas, kris kobach, on behalf of those i.c.e. agents. that case, although the district court judge said he believed the president had acted unlawfully with respect to daca, that case was dismissed on standing ground, and i've heard there may be some talk of union workers or other workers saying, look, we can't find jobs precisely because these work permits are being given out to all of these illegal immigrants. you know, i don't want to prejudge the merits on any of those things, but standing is going to be a tough issue with respect to any of those. and when you add in the t
