of their choice. you may have heard that the supreme court of the united states, this might have crossed your radar. the supreme court of the united states, you might know right now is a very conservative body. a 6 to 3 hard right conservative majority on the nation's highest court as we speak. but even so, even that hard align conservative 6 to 3 court could not swallow the recent decision by alabama's legislature to draw congressional districts in the state. so there is only one black majority districts in the whole state, in a state where a quarter of the population is black. the high court ordered the state of alabama to make a new map. where there are two such districts where black voters might be able to elect a representative of their choice. they've been ordered to do this by the federal courts. alabama is refusing to do it. even though alabama technically is a state. in the united states of america. which is a country that is technically subject to the ruins of the supreme court of the united states. even the alabama parts of the united states are subject to federal court orders. but apparen

investigating supreme court justices nastiest violations or colder conduct over any conduct alleged to be prejudicial to the ethical effect of the business of the supreme court of the united states. another bill entitled the supreme court code of conduct act would similarly detonate a supreme court ethics officer which would process complaint that is supreme court violated a code of conduct, federal law, or has done something that they complain it which they believe to be prejudicial to the administration of justice. they would then be required to publish the complaint on the supreme court website. justices and the panel and the proposed for the ethics investigation council already designated ethics officer would damage and debates the institution by encouraging frivolous and politically motivated attacks on the courts integrity. finally let me close by noting the provision in the bill, sanibel three and a 59, work requiring recusal for supreme court justices. adopting these measures would opens the door for a tidal wave of disqualification motions in the every important case. round one in every important constitutional case would be litigation over which justices are even eligi

your view of the effect of recent decisions calling into legitimacy the legitimacy of the supreme court. >> as a member of the president's commission on the supreme court of the united states, i was one of the members -- there were not many of us -- who do favor both court expansion in the long run, and that can certainly be done by statute. there's is nothing sacrosanct about the number nine. court size has varied from time to time, and because there is some doubt about the legitimacy of the way some of the justices have gotten onto the court, we think, at least speaking for the justices on that commission that came to this conclusion, that it would not be court packing but court unpacking to expand it to 13. term limits i think in the long run makes sense, but if they were enacted by statute, the current court would probably say that they are unconstitutional. there would also be implementation problems, transition problems, term limits i think in the long run makes sense, but i don't think it is a short run solution. >> i have long believed the supreme court and all lower courts should be bound by a 15-year tenure. the longer i have thought about it and the older i have

own intelligence officials about the recapture of lands and the start of ceasefire negotiations with moscow until the end of 2023. the supreme court of the united states of america spoke yesterday against joe biden's plan regarding student loans in this country, the president of the united states said. the plan for student loan debt forgiveness was a false hope for the republican students and they did not allow me to reach the conclusion . until the election the presidency put this plan on the agenda, which was rejected by the supreme court. the united nations scientific and cultural organization, unesco , agreed to the return of the united states to this organization. the united states five years ago and the presidency of donald trump accused iran of supporting palestine and also for not paying washington's debt was withdrawn from this institution. american officials announced that the decision to return to unesco was due to this country's concern that china would fill america's place in policies . to provide services they are not healthcare. according to the report of the afp, the hospitals read the quran for a few hours a week and there is not enou

authorities had information about the recapture of land and the start of ceasefire negotiations with moscow by the end of the year . 2023, the supreme court of the united states spoke yesterday against joe biden's plan regarding student loans in this country. the president of the united states said that the plan for student loan debt forgiveness is a false hope for students. loans a student was one of the election promises of biden, who, with the complaint of several states under the control of the republicans since he took office and did not implement after that , put this plan on the agenda a year before the presidential election, which was rejected by the supreme court. the united nations scientific and cultural organization unesco has agreed to the return of the united states to this organization. five years ago , during the presidency of donald trump, the united states withdrew from this organization by accusing unesco of the palestinian avalanche and also for not paying washington's debt. the american officials announced the decision. to return to unesco, due to this country's concern that china will fill its place in policies, two-thirds of the hospita

of the supreme court and basically threatened by name members of the supreme court. won't know what hit you with this decision if you pay the price. this is the majority leader of the united states senate going to the steps of the supreme court threatening this very thing. the hell with of the supreme court. maxine waters. as we lecture israel about their efforts to impose judicial reform, leave it israel to figure that out, democrats are counting on the benjamin that yahoo government for destroying the independent judiciary. here is what is happening in our own backyard. democrats are openly calling for increasing the number of justices from 9 to 13 to dilute the supreme court for 20 something years. that is destroying the independence of the judiciary. there is not a worse idea on the planet than have politicians change the number of supreme court justices when they don't like decisions. that's the end of the judiciary as we know it and they are openly talking about doing this. i don't get it, either don't read it and other people do, the new republic, the democrats need to destroy clarence thomas's reputation. what's going to happen tomorrow is fulfilling these ideas. again,

the university of theology and one of the main leaders of the cleaned up city campaign , held a symbolic funeral ceremony in this social campaign, the starting point of which was the supreme court of the united states started this movement because the current situation is very humiliating and immoral, poverty is the fourth cause of death in america, although the published statistics are conservative because some children are less it has not been paid for 15 years now it is said that poverty is the fourth cause of death in the united states, considering that it ranks higher than deaths caused by interruption or death caused by respiratory diseases. religious leaders, economists and prominent figures in the field of health and treatment are coming together to align their efforts and in this way put pressure on the leaders of our country to deal with electricity , which is a death sentence in america . there is no reason why there was such a person in the country the statistics related to poverty in the pre-corona period are relevant. during the corona period, 330,000 people died due to lack of access to medical care , not because of the corona . the death rate of poor people during the corona period

follows a previous day of landmark decision withs the high court voting to outlaw race-based affirmative action in college admissions. huge week for the supreme court of the united statesand offering support for america and hope on a race, color behind country or one that adheres to the fundamental principal of free speech or one that understands the limited powers of the three branches of government and executive, legislative and judicial. it was a great week for america because of the supreme court of the united states. jowski this was the worst week for joe biden and some of us making these for the administration and it was a great week for donald trump as well. he was able to prove in this week that his election was different and so many ways you laid out well. >> who hasn't taken a victory lap and probably could is mitch mcconnell. as much as the supreme court and donald trump's legacy, it's probably the one thing that most conservatives feel like mitch mcconnell followed through with in leading the senate majorities and he made sure merrick garland had it. joey: he put himself in a tough situation arguing against merrick garland and for the final supreme court ju

of time. thank you so much for record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: yesterday the associated press published a series of articles detailing a range of ethical failures by the supreme court of the united states. the report's detailed justices involved

the supreme court, and is leading to a loss of public confidence. in the courts. i mean as senator murkowski herself said, who does not think that the supreme court of the united stateshe same kind of rules to itself that it is applying to all of the other federal courts? the district courts, the appellate courts. did they really think that they are somehow above it all and so good that they do not need standards to govern their own conduct. it is kind of crazy that the highest court in the land has the lowest standards of all the federal courts. so i do think that the pressure is building, but we are going to keep it up. we are going to keep it up because apparently it is hard to shame the supreme court but we are going to keep at it until they do the right thing. >> senator chris van hollen, working the issue one senator at a time, thank you very much for joining us tonight. appreciate it. >> good to be with you, thanks lawrence. >> thank you. >> coming up! at his press conference today, welcoming finland as a member of nato, president biden delivered another very clear message to vladimir putin. >> i do not think that there is any real prospect, you never know, of

of the struggle, that she was part of. well, she stayed on the d.c. circuit of appeals until 93, when president bill clinton appointed her to the supreme court of the united states. then, as she said frequently, she was number two. she was at number one because sandra o'connor had preceded her on the supreme court in 1996. the court heard a case that from this august institution and those of you who were based in washington area may recognize this. this is your virginia military academy, a state sponsored school which had never in your 250 year history, never a woman, and saw no reason do so now a case brought and again on the basis of equal clause and the case was brought to the supreme court of the united there, she wrote the court decision that ruth bader ginsburg and in her decision for the court and, it was 7 to 1 decision and justice scalia dissented it and interestingly enough, justice one of the one of the other justices recused himself because he had said who is it, vmi in the opinion that r.b. she wrote what she did? e laid down a new doctrine which was that a gender discrimination case comes to the supreme court. they will look at the relevant law wit

speaker, a little over a week ago the supreme court of the united states handed a victory over to the american people when it struck down president biden's obviously unconstitutional and egregious student loan giveaway plan. the high court held that president biden and his administration needed congress' authority on this matter before pursuing this costly program for american taxpayers. of course republicans in congress like me have been calling mr. biden's student loan plan unconstitutional from its inception. even some democrats, including the former speaker, nancy pelosi, have joined us in standing up for the american people and their elected representatives. as their elected representatives. this is just one of many examples of how house republicans are demanding accountability of the biden administration and doing everything in our power to conduct proper oversight on the president's out-of-touch liberal and sometimes unconstitutional agenda. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> mr. spe

now, there's another way to diminish the value of the integrity of the united states supreme court. and that's shrinking it. imagine, i mean, one of the provisions in this bill is so outrageous, i mean, imagine. you want to shut the senate down, allow anybody who wants to to file a complaint against a senator, if the complaint ant thinks that senator -- complaintant thinks that senator has a conflict of interest and require that the complaint be resolved before you vote. that's what this bill does to the united states supreme court. isn't that special? how many complaints do you think they're going to be -- there are going to be? every single day. and the whole point, if they can't expand the court, they'll shrink it. this bill, it just -- i'm really disappointed in some of my colleagues for even bringing this thing. >> and for every one of you who write what is kennedy says, he'll buy you fried chicken. [laughter] sen. kennedy: it will be dead. [laughter] >> i don't have much more to add to what my colleagues have said but i do think you're going to see political theater on display

of the united states to equip ukraine with cluster bombs. more than 100 countries of the world signed this treaty in 2010. amir soudaei's report from berlin to the federal supreme court of the united states that the percentage of cluster bombs sent to ukraine these days is the last time these bombs were used at sea in 2009. since the 1950s, germany was one of the 14 countries that exported cluster bombs, until more than 100 countries of the world banned the sale and use of all kinds of cluster bombs in an agreement in oslo 13 years ago. and ukraine did not accept it. european countries, including germany, are obliged to comply with the oslo treaty, and on the other hand , they are facing measures to send cluster bombs to ukraine, and this is not an option for us. regarding countries that have joined this convention, including china, russia and the us government is the enemy i am not obliged to comment. cluster munitions have smaller bombs in their hearts and can be fired by rocket launchers or fighters , but the point is that 40% of booms do not explode when fired, and like land mines , they can cause injury and death for years. become civilians , the united states h

supreme court cool the student loan debt forgiveness unconstitutional going forward with it. >> essentially they are saying i'm going to do what i want, i don't care what the supreme court of the united states to say, this is what i promised and part of my campaign promise, i'm going to fulfill it or at least try to and then makes this surprise announcement. the democrats are becoming frustrated with that policy so i don't get good for what it says about borrowers, where is the lesson learned in that? number two, what does it say about inflation x cancel student debt so where does that go? are people going to use it to fuel prices higher and higher? as part of the concern amongst us, it's not a good idea for the reason. >> the truth is, inflation rose to 40 year highs because of the stimulus and spending out there so the tsunami of spending because you got the fiscal side or against with the federal reserve is trying to do, would you buy stocks today after the first half of the year, the nasdaq up 35%? >> i would buy stocks and continue although i'm not buying those names of double, triple digits, names like mega names in tech, i'm not buying those but in my buying underperformance, healthc

the united states? >> i'm so grateful that the supreme court of the united states here recognized what, frankly, justiceday o'connor said back in 2003 was that affirmative action was a temporary solution. it was designed to make sure that we open doors that hadn't been opened before but she herself said she expected it to go away within 25 years. it went away more quickly than that. i think that's a tribute to our nation. it's a great, great credit to the extraordinary accomplishments that minority students have had on our campuses and i really do believe that we can move forward as a country and embrace the notion that we're all going to be judged not on the color of our skin but on the kong tent of our character and in this case on our gpa. >> am i understanding you do not believe there is racial inequity in the education system in america? >> i just -- i really don't believe there is. i believe there was, i mean, there may have been a time when affirmative action was necessary, simply to open the doors of all of our schools and universities, but i think that time has passed and we'll continue to move

the u.s. supreme court. a decision written by the conservative chief justice of the united states supreme court. the out of town special mast for the new york state, the maps that we currently are operating under, eroded and degraded the black and latino population in five different congressional districts. degraded the black population in the congressional district currently represented by jamaal bowen. degraded the black population in the district i represent. deglade black population in the congressional district represented by yvette clarke. deglade black population in the district represented by greg meeks. and decimated the latino population, degraded it in the congressional district currently represented by nydia velazquez. somehow that possible? when the percentage of new yorkers who come from communities of color in the last decade increased. it didn't decrease. and in five different congressional districts, this out of town special master drew a map rubber stamped by a right-wing judge by steuben county that went in the opposite direction than that suggested by the united states supreme

of course, paul is a foremost supreme court advocate of our generation and has argued more than 100 cases before the supreme court including mcconnell versus fec, united states versus booker, mgm versus grokster, hobby lobby versus burwell, and, because. a tremendously broad scope of different types of causes in law and he has also argued many significant cases in the lower courts as well. paul served as the 43rd solicitor general of the united states from 2005-2008. before his confirmation, he served as the acting solicitor general nearly one year and principal deputy solicitor general for over three years. before his distinguished career as a litigator, he clerked for justice lauren silverman for the u.s. court of appeals the d.c. circuit and for just an incident scalia and served as chief counsel of the u.s. senate subcommittee on the constitution, federalism, and property rights. the honorable edward meets the third award is told -- bestowed by our organization annually was upheld the rule of law in adverse political challenges was given to paul this year to receive the award because he has twice shown them compliance with a prestigious law firm when the

the supreme court shot it down a couple weeks ago. does nobody know what a branch of government, the supreme court of the united states, doing this, thatappening now. they are redoing this. former acting us attorney general. good to have you. it used to be you didn't pass muster with the supreme court you couldn't go back and try a different way. you made it, tried to push new laws but this looks a little different. >> it does, good to be with you. this obviously they went back to the drawing board and tried to see if they could legally do anything to live up to the promise and what they've done is they have seen where if you spent 25 years trying to pay off your student loan it made payments but can't get the balance down, based on your income you can get debt forgiveness. the problem is they are lowering the standard for proving what your income is, that could be fraught with peril and you don't get rid of the primary problem and that is asking plumbers, electricians and those who didn't go to college to pay for people who went to bed school, law school, to pay their student loans off. biden is trying to purchase votes from a certain

i think it may be that some of the influence we have seen in some of the decisions he's making in the current cases. that's why the supreme court of the united states got it completely wrong. it's not ketchup the ordinary things that political figures do and every day in the country put everybody at risk with the review of the law. that is a caution. >> if they try to undermine your attorney-client privilege with your lawyers? >> we had leaks of grand jury information that end up in the "washington post" which is of course completely wrong doing that. there was evidence that came in during the trial tendered by the government that were things i specifically talked about with my own counsel to counsel to the governor. those came in over the strenuous objection and something that should not have been in before a jury that helps the tainted ju jury. in my chief of stance that was a lawyer that should not have come in. >> there is a prior victim. they wiretapped the discussions and use it in the grand jury and so forth. but access. there are so many members of the staff, my family my friends are brought before the grand jury. this is in 2013 i'm trying

the word minority has been applied to her every day of her life. it now has a new meaning in her position as the newest member of the supreme court of the united statesf three justices appointed by democratic presidents, who stand in opposition to the six justices appointed by republican presidents, who have become the most powerful and effective members of the republican party forcing republican governance on a country where republicans are a minority. if the decisions of this republican supreme court outrage you, imagine how it feels to work there. imagine what it's like to smile and nod in the hallway when neil gorsuch passes, knowing that mr. justice gorsuch is the illegitimate argument of a supreme court seat stolen from president obama by republican senate leader mitch mcconnell and handed to the most criminal and incompetent presidents in history to choose a justice from a list provided by senator mcconnell. i have faced infield many politeness challenges in my life, but nothing compared to the politeness burden carried every day by the three women in the minority on the supreme court who, by all accounts, remain congenial with the man who's s

of the times. will: the biggest roadblock in the biden agenda is the supreme court of the united states, two or three weeks removed from the striking down of affirmative action, student loan forgiveness, reaffirming commitment to free speech and it is no coincidence then that the supreme court has been the center of investigative reporting, attacks, constant, clarence thomas, samuel alito and questions whether they have had unethical relationships with donors in the republican party or who had matters before the court and with this reporting justice alito spoke out. he did an interview with the wall street journal and he said congress does not have the power or should they follow up on the press reporting to investigate the supreme court. i know this is a controversial view but i'm going to say it, no provision in the constitution gives them the authority to regulate the supreme court, period. douglas: where used to the fact that nomination hearings have been bruising affairs for a long time but i cannot think of a time in my lifetime when supreme court justices in position have come under such susta

who feel very unstable the events in france a strange decision for the globalists of the supreme court of the united states apparent ukrainian offensive speak of that they need to take some extraordinary steps that would allow them to radically increase pressure on russia, at least. here in this theater of operations. this requires some kind of serious act of serious provocation that would shock the whole world on a scale. september 11, 2001 this is such a scale, and maybe more, and in this context, a very interesting statement and practical actions to prepare the population for certain events. well, they already talked about radiation contamination, but quite recently, they somehow quietly forgot that in kiev there was a training session on the actions of the civilian population in the conditions of a nuclear explosion without being contaminated by a nuclear explosion . how to behave when you see the flash of a nuclear explosion. after that, you really won't see anything. here, but it does n't matter why there i saw this instruction written there. and if you go to the car, you just need to pull over to th

of the businesses, people tied to the summer tourist business are really concerned a lot of pressure on emmanuel macron to deal with it quickly. will: big week when it comes to the supreme court of the united stateswn president biden's student loan forgiveness plan, knocking down affirmative action and upholding free speech in a case in colorado. donald trump in an address in front of 50,000 people in south carolina talked about these big wins. >> we appointed nearly 300 federal judges, three great supreme court justices. this week those justices ruled to move our country forward with a merit based system of education. how big is that? isn't that big? the supreme court also ruled that president biden is not allowed to wipe out hundreds and hundreds of billions, probably trillions in student loan that which would have been very unfair to the millions and millions of people who paid their debt through hard work and diligence. rachel: donald trump taking a victory lap on the amazing outcomes of supreme court decisions last week, which he can take credit for for having put conservative justices on the court and in many ways putting a break on what a lot of americans who oppose policies thought could

the court rejected. it defines the black belt which the supreme court of the united states and the three-judge panel saidity interest as mobile which is in the first district in that southern part that you see there, the second district, which is known as the wire grass area, so i really think that this is not going to fly at all with the three-judge panel, and ultimately when it goes to the 11th circuit court of appeals in the supreme court, it's not going to fly there either. i think the supreme court decision was pretty clear that we need to have a two majority, minority districts or one that was a lot closer than 60% or 40%. >> the thing, catherine, and i have covered a lot of stories for a long time is just how blatant gerrymandering is. what happens now, the former senator touched on it, but there's a bunch of legal hurdles half to be jumped over. >> the lower court will have a hearing about this. it's not shocking that after brown v. board of education, there was massive resistance, what's interesting about this case, justice roberts and brett kavanaugh joined this majority so voting rights advoca
