>> one of the most important raise the supreme court made corporation people if you will is simply to look beyond the corporation and throughout american history the supreme court has granted corporations expansive constitutional rights, often ignoring the corporate form saying we need to protect the rights of the people who come together to form the corporation and while that idea probably made a lot of sense in the early 1800s as corporations were spot-- small it's hard to know if the same idea makes the same degree of sense in a world where you have general motors, hundreds of thousands of shareholders and many hold only invest in the company for a matter of moments as a play on the market or does it still makes sense to break through the corporate form and see those people the need or should we try to separate the rights of the corporation from the rights of the underlying people. >> was this baked into the convent-- constitution in any way? >> the framers never considered whether corporations should have constitutional protection it never came up in any ratifying conventions and

of congress can open with prayer, the supreme court can open with prayer. >> members of the supreme court where a black robe doesn't mean i have to wear a black robe and -- just the other day in front of the supreme court the 10 commandments someone raised the question and made the point it does depend on the context, say get rid of it i wouldn't have a problem, do you believe there should be school prayer in the classroom. >> nothing stops an acknowledgment of god to force children to pray or force anybody to believe a certain way is wrong and certainly if schoolchildren were forced to pray a certain way it would not be a problem. who writes the prayer? if it is written -- it depends on the context. i can't say you have to give me a specific example, a teacher mandates a certain prayer, children have to be observed, it would be wrong a. if you say children are allowed to pray in the school, that would be permissible. >> host: i'm talking about an organized prayer, the supreme court never said kids can't pray in the school, there will always be prayer in school as long as there are math t

some of the first supreme court amendments were brought by corporations. let's go you are professor of law at ucla. is this book written for the layman or for other lawyers? >> guest: this comes out as a division at w.w. norton and it's designed not for the lawyers but i hope lawyers will find something interesting at the purposely written to reach of much righter audience so they can see what corporations have done not in terms of legalese but understand the impact of the corporate rights movement on the scope of american history and our own identity. plus the atom winkler is the author, "we the corporations" how american businesses won their civil rights is the name of the book. thank you. >> thank you. c-span is brought to you by your cable or satellite provider. >> next, on the tv "after words", david osborne examines the charter school outlook. he is interviewed by chester finn. senior fellow and president emeritus of the ford institute. >> this book is such a treat. not only are we observing the 2h anniversary

supreme court. if you wanted to live a short life, retire from the u.s. supreme court. and so, justices have tended to stay for a very long time. my very favorite quote from thurgood marshall. toward the end of his tenure he was interviewed by the washington post and they asked him if he planned to retire anytime soon as he was in his 80's. he said, "absolutely not. i was appointed to a lifetime tenure. and i intend to serve every single day of that. not only that, i plan to live to be over 100 years old, and not only that, when i finally die i plan to be shot by a jealous husband." >> [laughter] justice bolick: that's quite the aspiration. nonetheless he served on the court for a good, long time. but of course, longevity has dramatically increased lifetime tenure. at the time of our nation's founding, the average age of appointment of a supreme court justice is about the same as it is today. it was age 50 and that time. however, life expectancy at that time was in the 30's. so, the average age of t

as i said in the supreme court hearing. judges must be equally independent of the president who nominates them and the senators who confirm them. please describe what judicial independence means to you. and tell us whether you have any trouble ruling against the president who appointed you? >> thank you for the question. i would have no trouble ruling against the president who appointed me. or any successor president as well. judicial independence means one thing. one very simple thing. that is putting the law above everything else. the statutes. passed by this body and the constitution of the united states. so i would have absolutely no trouble. that would be my duty. >> we have often heard these words especially since january. quote now more than ever, we need judges who will be independent of the president who nominated them. so i'd like to ask about your nomination and your independence. a lot -- much has been made about the list of judges then candidate trump propose as possible nominees. of course you were on the list

my first argument was a special session of the supreme court. they call it a special session just so i can do my first case, which was a reargument of citizens united. [groans] justice kagan: sounds as though you know it. [laughter] it was all about campaign finance regulation. it had been thought of as a small case when it had been argued by the deputy solicitor general. and then the court decided it actually wanted to reconsider some of the some of the precedence that the case was argued on. it happened in september when the term starts in october. the lawyers are instructed to brief the following questions, those questions eating whether -- those questions being whether to overturn very significant campaign finance decisions of court. finance decisions of court. you can imagine this was a little bit petrifying. >> not at all, not at all. [laughter] justice kagan: i thought, my gosh, this is such a big deal, such a big issue in the eyes of the world. the one thing i said to myself was that you not the end probably argument will not make a diff

supreme court. but the first-ever independent. every other justice has been either a republican or a democrat. and so i'm the first who is not affiliated with a party. i am also the first justice to hang up on the governor when he called to offer me the position. this was not intentional. it was and i'm embarrassed to admit it in silicon valley of all places i'm a total te technophobe, i can't figure out to get off of one call and on to the other. my friends say the better explanation is i was exhibiting my view of the proper separation of powers. but nonetheless, fortunately for me, the governor tk my call when i called him back and offered me the position. i'm also the first member of the arizona supreme court and possibly any supreme court in the country to be openly inked. i among the many clients i represented over the years were the owners of a tattoo studio. in tempe, arizona, a place that houses a major university, so you would think that there would probably be some tattoo studio and these

it's interesting to be discussing immigration in the context of the supreme court because the supreme court doesn't typically grant a lot of grants for a lot of immigration cases. they are typically in the last 10 years, maybe one, two, maybe three. and not necessarily raising big constitutional questions. this year the court has already agreed to hear three cases. of course, the one that was referred to arising from the muslim entry ban in two consolidated cases but also two cases that were heard last year and then scheduled for reargument in this term with the ninth justice being appointed. jennings vs. rodriguez and sessions vs. dimaya. i will talk about the entry ban case although i will say about rodriguez as well and dimaya if there is time. especially insofar as they raise similar issues. by way of context for those who are less familiar how constitutional issues arise in the immigration context, there's a long -- there's two -- oversimplify and say there are two lines of cases that are somewhat in tension with each other. on one hand going to cases dating back to the 19th cent

we're currently in the supreme superior court chamber. this is part of the design of joseph houston's plan for the capital that the rear central portion of the fourth floor would have the court chamber. this is one of three, one of three supreme and superior court chambers in which the court can meet. the dome here in the supreme court was actually meant to be over top of the house chamber, we believe, and it was brought here as they -- they were adding a fifth floor to the building. even as the building was being constructed in 1906 they were running out of space so they added more rooms on the top and moved the dome which was already in production here. this green stain glass dome was done by alfred god win. it's got basically a penthouse over top that let's light in over the sides. it's foe lit from the inside so on cloudy dates it's lit up. this room is the final room that violet oakley produced. she spent 25 years to -- the first commission she got was in 1902, these works were installed in 1927. she worked on the senate and supreme

i cover the supreme court for education week and other publications. i do question, like ambassador gray i looked at the essays and i was looking, i think in vain, for a discussion of a provocative issue justice scalia wrote about. a case about visitation rights. it was his believe that there was no fundamental right, no substantive due process right for parents to direct the upbringing of their children which includes education. that goes back to cases in the 1920's. i was going to read from the georgetown law, i'm not checking opinion, hes is the said such a parental right is not in the constitution, i will not enforce it from the bench. i wondered if you might be able to comment on that since i did not see it in the essays? big disputes within conservative jurisprudence is whether there are rights that are not enumerated that should be respected. there is a big difference between justice thomas who says we need to look at the declaration of independence, and that says there are natural rights that might not be listed as spit -- explicitly in the con

due to his lacking of basic common knowledge and proper sentiment, he try to insult the supreme dignity of my country by referring it to a rocket, by doing so, however, he committed an irreversible mistake of making our rockets' visit to the entire u.s. mainland inevitable all the more. none other than trump himself is on a suicide mission. in case innocent lives of the u.s. are harmed because of this suicide attack, trump will be held totally responsible. the respected supreme leader of the dprk kim jong-un stated as a man representing the dprk and on behalf of the dignity and honor of my state and people and on my own, i will make the man holding the supreme command in the u.s. pay dearly. trump might not have been aware what is uttered from his mouth but we will make sure that he bears consequences far behind his words, far beyond the scope of what he can handle even if he is ready to do so. mr. president, focusing on people, striving for peace and a decent life for all on a sustainable planet this is the scene of the -- for all countries and people to enjoy peace and a decent life i

what the supreme court said. there is a good chance by the time this case is argued next month that it will be regarded as moot. i should note that professor leaderman has written quite a bit this issue on i think on just security and i would commend those pieces to you. because presumably the period will have ended now that the states have been limited and by the -- stays have been limited and by the oral argument comes around, all of the time limits in the executive order even as modified will now in fact have run. it's also -- by then, presumably then a new executive order issued and the focal point of this issue will turn to that. should it reach the merits, it's not by any means it will be ultimately be decided on constitutional grounds because there are statutory issues and so it may well be either by avoidance grounds or straightforward statutory interpretation the court doesn't reach these constitutional questions. let me with just a couple minutes left say something about jennings because i think especia

antonin scalia was an associate justice of the united states supreme court who wrote and signed opinions directly on fundamental elements of the american system. he was also a scholar and a leading public figure. it is appropriate that to honor this man with the selection of reflections on his impact on education. seeing broadly is not just schools but scholarship and public discourse as well. in doing so, we hope to discover the, through the education and look into the fundamentals of the justices thinking if you doubt his impact on constitutional prudence, cast unseen at harvard that he was not only one of the most important justices in the nation's history also among the best. and justice elena kagan says part of this consists in his abiding commitment of all to the rule of law.his articulation of principles communicated in the distinctive splendid pros transformed our legal culture. despite this applause and despite nearly 30 years of service on the supreme court, only a few have sympathetically considered his constitutional approach to judicial interpretation. as powerful prolific w

the supreme court said when congress overturned a variety of other supreme court decisions in other areas but didn't touch the scope of supervisory liability for employers they ratified that so it would be stronger if the 91 congress in the civil rights bill talked about all those decisions, the supreme court -- the supreme court said if you have comprehensive amendment possible, judicial consensus overturned areas in another area when it is lower court's the ratification, i will also note the 91 congress did address sexual orientation because in 1991 just like in every congress back to 1974 today there was a bill put forward to congress to add sexual orientation and the bill sponsor said that was necessary because federal law did not cover it and despite that, congress did not an act that bill and has never enacted that bill and that changed the different opinion the eeoc relies on and the situation was they had taken a certain position that there was a bill in front of congress to ratify it in the passing of the bill and the supreme court said they passed the bill because they alr
