but as attorney general robert kennedy said that was a, quote, painfully slow way of providing what is, after all, a fundamental right of citizenship. as a simple -- as the supreme court acknowledged in south carolina, in this effort, the department was seriously hindered by the burden of bringing case-by-case challenges. during the same. the department access -- successfully urged the supreme court to revisit its prior unwillingness to enforce constitutional and statutory of the franchise. the supreme court invalidated the infamous gerrymander of the city of tuskegee, alabama. which had redefined the city's boundaries to exclude 99% of the city's black population without removing a single white voter. in reynolds versus sims four years leaders -- four years later, the supreme court established the one person one vote principle, holding that the 14th of member protects the right of each citizen to have an equally effective voice in the process. the legislative branch followed the judiciary and both followed the civil rights movement that swept the country. in 1965, in the wake of blood

in 1961 attorney general robert kennedy crawled into his office, the newly appointed general assistant attorney general for civil rights and marshals now first assistant, john doerr. at that time before the 1965 act with its preclearance provision was enacted the only way to guarantee the right black americans to vote was to bring individual actions in each county and that discriminated against them. kennedy told his of assistance that that is what he wanted to do. well, general marshall replied if you want that then you got to have a lot more lawyers. well, today we are again without a preclearance provision so again, the civil rights division will need more lawyers. accordingly today i am announcing that within the next 30 days we will double the divisions enforcement for protecting the right to vote. we will use all existing provisions in the voting rights act, the national voter registration act, to help america vote act and the uniform and overseas citizens absentee voting act to ensure that we protect every qualified american seeking to participate in our democracy. we are scruti

but as attorney general robert kennedy said that was a, quote, painfully slow way of providing what is, after all, a fundamental right of sit sdplenship. as the supreme court announced, in this effort the department was seriously hindered by the burden of bringing case-by-case challenges. the department urged the supreme court to revisit its unwillingness to review constitutional and statutory protections of the franchise. in gomilion versus lightfoot, they brought up the gerrymander in alabama which had verified the city's boundaries to confirm 93% without removing a single white voter. in reynolds versus sims four years later. they held that 149th amendment protects the right of each citizen to have an equally feblgt active voice in the political process. ly they follow the judiciary and both followed the civil rights movement that swept the country. 1965 in the wake of bloody sunday, and based on a record developed in large part by the civil rights division's mitigation, congress enacted what president johnson called, quote, one of the most monumental laws in the entire history of a

the building is robert f. kennedy justice department. by name.re going to see a large number of investigations that will be launched. it is not just usual the barriers of lawyers but the laws to enforce and the problem is since 1965 through 2013 we had the voting rights act section 5 requiring southern states trying to change the voting laws to have it approved by the justice department staff in washington d.c. or by a federal court. that was struck down by the supreme court in a 5-4 vote in 2013. i'd argue the same issue in 2009 and upheld and then four years later they flipped and the loss of that provision is why a dozen states in the last few moths enacting 22 different restrictive voting laws. some would have never sufficed under section 5 so this is great. the staff action is good but legislation is also needed to restore section 5. >> so that's federal legislation that needs to restore section 5. short of that what can they do? we'll take one state as an example. georgia has passed their voter restrictions predicated in the words of republ

of chicago, shortly after graduating high school in june of 1969, when your anniversary of robert f. kennedy's assassination, he fled to oregon. he heard there were hippies there. people were living free and open lifestyles. he wanted to escape some of the more rigid life that he had known and illinois. he was one of five sons in the shilts family born in a 25 year period in the family. they were broadly spread out. they were all active boys. all of them fled aurora the first opportunity that they could. when he finally got into the university of oregon after one year at portland community college he decided to run for student body president. he did so under the theme of come out for shilts. he did not win the election. when i say that to my contemporary students now they are like so what? in 1970 and 71 to be a openly gay student in college was a big thing. it made you stand out. and he stood out. he was well-known in campus for being outspoken, and eventually switched to a journalism major. he gave up on politics for changing. this reflects early in life he had been a very cold water republi

and also another big name, robert f. kennedy junior. that's right. and nephew, of course, of the former us president john f kennedy. so seems like social media companies. they're at least partly to blame for some of this misinformation. these rumors how they responded. well, they claimed that the social media platforms said that they do remove millions of posts which violate their policies on spreading harmful misinformation. and they say that they're also introducing features like, and we're going to take a look now actually one that was being used on facebook and twitter. it may or may not come up for the moment, it isn't coming up. but basically what it does is that before you re post something, and if you're forced to read it, because often you'll see you'll receive a, you know, a message or a mean and it has a headline. and it may be interesting to you. and then you'll just forward it on, well basically what it does is it makes you stop. you have to read the actual article or say at least that you've read it, click it, and then you can send it o

. >> it is interesting, none of this is new in this dialogue attorney general robert kennedy wrote while congress's power to legislate for the district is a continuing power -- contemplates a single act. constitution makes no provision for revocation in the act of acceptance or for retro session. and then it a couple of decades later, our attorney general in 1987 wrote, clearly the district chosen would not exceed 10 miles square but under the language of that because once the session was made in this district became the seat of government, the authority over the location seems to be exhausted. it leaves congress no authority to redefine -- absent in authority granting at that power. what are your thoughts? >> attorney general candidate was absolutely right. the creation of the district was a single act. it was completed. it was done. i've got to look where congress might have other authority to turn that district into something like a new state. the other side points to article four. the problem is that the district is unique. this is not a normal creation of the state process as though
