this should be handled by congress, also by state legislatures who are in charge of drawing these lines, but poppy, i mean, this is a sharply divided court right now and this really is the first major case we've seen this break. 5-4, this solidly conservative majority and feeling the effects of justice anthony kennedy's retirement a year ago. justin ka justice kagen is reading her defense. justices really only do with a forceful dissent and very passionate about their dissent. i'll read you briefly what justice kagen is reading. of all times to abandon the court's duty to declare the law, this was not the one. the practices challenged in these cases imperil our system of government and part of the court's role is to defend its foundation. so the four liberal justices here, justice kagen, reading from the bench right now slamming this decision by chief justice roberts and the four other conservative justices to stay out of this but justice roberts in his opinion defending that decision saying this is not the role of the courts to decide this and instead let this play out in the states th

you and to that we have many more state legislatures under control of one party in 2010, and we will have everyone under control of one party in 2020, except for a minnesota, at least with respect tots legislature, that gives them the opportunity to take advantage of what he technology offers. i've been reading the dissent, and it ends is a very appoint-and-way. she says -- nothing is more important than free and fair elections. part of the court's role is to defend the foundations of our system of government, and then with respect but deep sadness, i dissent. that's a really poignant statement in a supreme court opinion, which illustrates how significant the stakes are in not letting the structure of our democratic institutions be corrupted by self-serving politicians from either party who are looking to protect themselves from competition, looking to manipulate politics for partisan and incumbent-protecting reasons. as you see in that dissent, there's a deep cry of kind of the injury to the democratic system here that the court is unwilling to take on through constitutional doctrine

of the state -- to the legislatures of the state typically control what is in the state constitution? >> they don't and that is what i think it is important to figure out. i think justice kennedy may have framed that particular question in a particular way. i don't want to go too far into the arizona independent redistricting case. i think there is a respectable argument the state legislature means state legislature and not the other parts of the state government. i think it is a separate issue. >> it could mean the people by referendum. >> it well could. there are at least four people who agreed with you and i don't want to relitigate that here because i don't think the result in that case -- i think that case can be taken as a given. you can still send the claims -- to be as responsive as i can to thei think there's a constitutional problem when a state legislature makes explicit with respect to redistricting they are undertaking at that moment, if they make explicit what was after the record was built up, existed in heaven that they got a map of that was favorab

we have term limits on 36 governors, 15 state legislatures, nine of the 10 largest cities, and chicago is coming soon. the president of the united states has term limits. special about congress that they should be able to serve for life? host: can you answer that question? guest: i will start by saying we are in an interesting position because term limits are incredibly popular. people are fed up with congress. it is broken. it doesn't work. it is dysfunctional and partisan. term limits are such a jacobian measure that automatically kick out the best amongst us just to get rid of the worst. is a't know if that particularly good investment when we are talking about congress when there is no school for this. governing is incredibly hard. we run a $4.1 trillion federal budget that if you are sworn in on a monday, i don't know how you're going to be effective overseeing that on tuesday. the president does have term limits. that is the 22nd amendment that was added after the original constitution. i think congress is different in that the president is a singular figure. there is no one figu

so you're basically asking state legislatures not to legislatures. let me finish with this, a lot of hard constitutional issues come before this court because you're dealing with something that was unknown to the framing generation. but the framing generation understood partisan gerrymandering firsthand. james madison was the intended target of a partisan gerrymander by patrick henry. he complained about it bitterly. so did george washington. neither of them contemplated suit. hamilton actually suggested to jon jay that the federalists ought

that deep division remains in a lot of state legislatures. >> you brought it up and i'm glad you did. talk to us about malapportionment. >> it's kind of like partisan jerry mangerrymandering but on level. the state decides where the divides for the districts are going to be. so if you're a rural legislature -- california is a great example of this. in california the rural areas were extremely powerful. they controlled the state legislatures and they made sure that their districts included many fewer people. you could have -- let's just use low numbers as an example. you could have ten voters in california having their own member of the state legislature and the same number for an urban district would be like 3,000 voters. in essence, the rural voters had much greater power. again, it wasn't until the one person one vote ruling in 1964 that really ruled this out. >> we have a question from one of our social media followers who wants to know how many countries do not require an i.d. to vote besides the united states? >> that's a good question. that sounds like the kind of question that

if you were ever going to run for something or support a campaign of someone running for state legislature or state senate, now is the time. that supreme court ruling is absolutely huge. that happened yesterday in the midst of all this stuff, you know, and president trump is meeting with vladimir putin again alone again at the start of this meeting only russian state controlled media were allowed in and not the american press because our president is comfortable with that. while meeting president putin president trump started talking about terrible fake news, ranting against the free press. president trump chose to do that today on the one-year anniversary of the mass shooting in annapolis, maryland, where a guy stormed in the newsroom at the capitol gazette newspaper in annapolis and shot dead five of their reporters and editors. the president has never stopped denouncing the press as the enemy of the people and the fake news, and on today's one-year anniversary of the capital gazette shooting he joked with vladimir putin about fake news and the terrible media and how they ought to be got

the state legislatures which have sought most recently the state legislature in a state of tennessee, seeking to make it more difficult for people to vote by adding artificial restrictions based on flimsy and phony reasoning that have no other intent whatsoever but to stop people from voting and to stop black people from voting. no less than three cases, three federal court cases, states have been found to have intentionally discriminated in passing these laws. the second member of the trio are state legislature, all across america. the third member of this terrible trio is a russian federation. the russian federation and it internet research agency called the ira. the ira and the russian federation and much has been written and much has been in the public domain and at the public square about the role of russian interference in the 2016 election. but what has not been clearly articulated is that the russians had an intent. they had multiple intents. one of the driving intents was to suppress the african american vote. our report thanks for the research of the german marshall fund is

the state legislatures and they recognized state legislatures might become politically captured. they then said the federal congress can also make rules to regulate if those get out of hands. that is where it goes. it is a political question that goes to the political process. justice o'connor spoke about this a lot in the cases that she heard when she was in the court. she had been a state legislator. she realized this is quintessentially political activity. when you get judges involved in it, it is a real danger because a, it is not their job. it is not a legal or constitutional standard. they shouldn't be making the standards up and it puts them in a position of every single time there is a census and redistricting, they will be called on across the country to basically pick political winners and losers. that would be a horrible outcome for the court and most importantly, it is a horrible outcome because it is not how the constitution has designed the system to work. justices are not there to fix everything. some things, unfortunately the political process has to be there to f

certainly in 2018 i became the first california indian ever elected to the state legislature.s a great accomplishment. but one would ask why did it take so long? and, the governor, this governor moving forward, on his own to bring forward an apology from the state of california starts to show where we are at with in our diversity, where we are at within the acceptance of culture and where we are at with telling the truth of history of the state of california. so, some will say it took too long to get to this point but this governor moved forward on it so now the question should be where will we be in the next few months, where will we be in the next year, where will we be in the next five years to make sure that this topic does not to go back and be forgotten about. >> reporter: we had to leave the conversation there. i really appreciate your time that is assemblyman james ramos from southern california. thank you for your's perspective >> thank you so much. >>> a juneteenth rally was in support of equity for black city and county workers, people left the rally outside of city

there is a bill in the state legislature. i have spoken as recently as a couple of hours ago to assembly man ting. office is in conversation with the mayor's office to some amendments that were made to assembly bill 68. i don't want to get down in the weeds with it, but i'm hoping we'll be able to come up with something. and by the way, i don't want to go down this path, but it is entirely possible if we're not able to iron those out, i will ask president yee and supervisor stefani to oppose assembly bill 68 unless properly presented to this body. but i hope that we don't have to go down that path and can figure something out that our legislators will carry and will not be killed by the legislators in sacramento. >> president yee: recognizing supervisor safai, supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. what is this amendment? >> supervisor safai: this is to amend the tables -- we voted last year to remove the requirement for off-street parking, so we're just bringing it into conformity, through the chair. >> pr

and after it is complete, each state legislature is responsible for redistricting and redefining the political boundaries. the reason is that, under the constitution, every district has to be about the same size. so every 10 years, in my state of north carolina, 13 states seats were allocated in 2010 and in 2011, the legislature drew some political boundaries. our legislature at the time and still is a republican legislature and they drew the boundaries in a manipulative and strategic way to advantage the republicans. it is what we call political advantage, they drew these lines to advantage their position. years ago, we didn't have computer technology drawing political maps. but now we have that technology, and whoever is responsible for drawing the maps can employ computer technology and developed districts that favor their party. the technology is such that now we can determine almost with certainty how a voter is likely to vote, and with that data, maps can be generated. and so in north carolina, even though democrats and republicans are just about equally situated in terms of vot

these divisions remain in the state legislature. host: you brought it up, and i'm glad you did. talk to us about malapportioned it. ment ismalapportione kind of like gerrymandering, the state gets freedom to divide up their own political power. who is going to vote, how many people will vote, where the districts are going to be, so if you are a rural legislator -- california is a great example of this. in california, the rural areas were extremely powerful. they controlled the state legislatures, and they made sure that their districts included many fewer people, so, you know, au can have, let's just use loadable as an example, 10 voters in california, a member ure, andtate legislato that same number for an urban district would be, like i'm a 3000 voters. so in essence, the rural voters have much greater power. until the one person, one vote rule in 1964 to really rule this out. host: ok. going back to voting rights, we have a question from one of our social media followers, who wants to know if you know how many countries do not require an i.d. to vote? guest: that is a good que

political gerrymandering is that everybody has long known and accepted that when you've got state legislatures who are drawing maps, of course they will consider politics and the problem with political gerrymandering is how do you decide when a districting map has gone too far when you've considered politics too much. we've never been able to come up with a workable standard to figure out when a map crosses a line from being a permissible use of politics to an unconstitutional use of politics. we're not going to try, in essence. some states have set up in an effort to take the politics out of redistricting but courts aren't going to get involved in. both of these cases sent back to the lower courts with instructions to dismiss them on the ground that courts don't have the power to hear them anymore. >> looking into the future and he referenced several other states, what does that mean for those cases and maybe future cases? >> cases with ongoing and in federal court with ongoing political gerrymandering cases are likely to be dismissed on the ground that the courts don't have the power to revi

the enactment on -- of term limits has been a boon to research on state legislatures. much of the new research examines any changes brought by term limits by looking at the new relationship between legislatures and constituents, the dynamics of legislative leadership, and the effects on legislative demographics. the most powerful research seeks to understand how term limits affect the work of legislatures with the other branches of state government. a lot of the changes that have been found in california, there is a project that found that while political careers continue, members of the legislature look for other offices. the number of female minority representatives increased in the california legislature but the legislature was less likely to challenge the governor on his budget. researchers examine more specific questions in oklahoma. legislators seem to be serving longer after term limits were enacted than before. difference. small we also take a look at what is called the last term effect. what happens to a legislator or member of congress in their last term? most

>> congressional districting is an act by state legislatures. if state legislatures are cabined by the first amendment, the first amendment has to be a limit on their authority, and that wasn't recognized by this court until the 1940 s. >> you said gerrymandering has been recognized as unconstitutional. if gerrymandering is defined as deviation with what you would otherwise get with proportion proportional -- >> what we take to be partisan gerrymandering is the singling out of groups of voters for redistricting and using redistricting in turn to doom those voters to usual electoral defeat. we think that is a clear violation of the first amendment. i'll just say very briefly, the other explanations that general sullivan has put before the court explaining the shape of the sixth district are all that thely dflatly disproved by the map. that map respects all of the political considerations elsewhere throughout the state and does not result in flipping the district to democratic control. thank you. >> five minutes, mr. sullivan. >> i hope not to tak

there is still a permit clinical class that will run for the state legislature. you will never eliminate the permanent political class. more importantly, you lose a lot of expertise. you lose a lot of institutional knowledge with that. the end result is you end up giving power to interest groups, who are their day in and day out and control the knowledge of the way the place works. it has been a noble avenue experiment -- a noble experiment. i voted for term limits when i was --congress when i but i am not sure if that has solved the problem. host: what would have been the term limit, if you had the vote for it? guest: six in the house and 12 in the senate. from new jersey, democrat, good morning. caller: good morning. i am a registered democrat. i voted for obama and i voted for trump. i will vote for trump again. there are a couple reasons. by want to make a few comments. as far as pay raises for congress, i would not give them a sense --cent. they're not doing their job. and they are off more than they work. two weeks off year, a month they are -- i do not eve

there are 15 state legislatures with term limits. those states have more competitive elections.y have lower barrier to entry. people are able to run for office from all walks of life. we have data on how states are performing in terms of fiscal health. the states with term limits on average have a better ranking of fiscal health than this dates with career politicians. the rookies are not driving these states into the ground. they know they have a fixed time horizon to get the job done and change the system before it changes them and then return home. host: the question for you is your concern about special interests becoming more of a problem. trying to prove that it is going to get worse at the federal level. the state level is not the federal level. it is infinitely bigger and harder to do because you are floating on things that affect alaska when you are from maine. it is hard to anticipate all of these things. the difference comes from information voids. members of congress and their staff are so torn and 70 different directions and pulled by summary interests trying to vot

you have republican-led state legislatures in alabama and louisiana are encroaching on women's rights that we haven't seen in decades. as the vice president is thinking about his health care plan and how to make sure that the most people have access to health care, he really was struggling with how to do this in a way that did not prevent, you know, women of color, poor women from having access to the health care that they need. this was a tough personal decision for him. you know, it's something he has spoken candidly throughout his life about his struggle on this issue. it's an issue of faith for him. he's a devout catholic. this was a tough decision for him. but he decided that in this moment of crisis that he could no longer support any avenue that would prevent women from having access to health care. >> i have to ask you this, though. he has said for a long time it predates this campaign, it predates his vice presidency. he said for years, as long as i've been following him, that he believes health care is a right. since 1973, since the roe v. wade ruling in 1973, abortion has b

article by samantha petty that finds that women are more likely to successfully run for the state legislature in states with term limits. can you tell us a little bit more about that conclusion? >> i can. there is an interesting point to that conclusion. i would give you the actual percentages, but i didn't memorize them. but it's interesting, she did find that in - and we find is another elections as well. typically an open seat election, if it is between a male candidate and a female candidate in an open seat election, the female candidate has a better chance of winning. that in the female running against an incumbent. when she found it was particularly interesting and maybe more relevant to our discussion today, is that it tended to favor democratic women versus republican women. that in an open seat election where republican woman was running against a democratic now, in an open seat, the democratic male was going to win. toca it's sort of a double- edged sword. but definitely, it does show that in an open seat election, women tend to run and tends to win more often. >> i guess it is my u
