after he assumed supreme power. lived for a year before retreating from the city with a prominent scientist , an experienced military man, an energetic and respected person. the white movement pinned its hopes on the victory, many shots, chronicles that captured the stay of admiral tommy kolchak in omsk, now the center for the study of the history of the civil war is operating. this is a branch of the omsk regional archive, which has an exhibition hall. each of its exhibits is of scientific interest since 1918 in omsk and yekaterinburg, the provisional siberian government issued its own money, which was received by the people. name siberians. one of the symbols of the creation of anti-bolshevik statehood in 1918 was the issue of its own banknotes, because the emerging white state of siberia had to create a separate economy of its own, independent of bolshevik russia. therefore, in this respect, the mission was one of the tools and income on the one hand and on the other hand. the other side. she demonstrated the sta

may this great success of the destruction of 86 be consumed by the supreme power of the dear nation.mic iran and all my comrades in the strategic navy of the islamic republic of iran, from the honorable command of the force to all the employees in all ranks , especially the 350 people who took the 82nd squadron and returned, and especially their respected families , i congratulate them on the announcement i do it one by one i kiss my comrades, who made the engineering system of the islamic republic of iran proud in the field of the seas, but the purpose of sending the 86th flotilla is firstly to raise the flag of the islamic republic of iran in the open waters , secondly, to convey the message of peace and friendship to the countries of the region and the world in 360 degrees. they came to circumvent the skill of the staff of the equipment that was made by the capable domestic with sea salt to carry out the mission, ensuring this capability and finally showing iran's islamic aviation in the sea area is very important to show the power of the islamic republic of iran in the sea area,

in quotation marks, melyukov, who shouted that this was stupidity or betrayal, referring to the supreme powerd, but with only one goal, to carry out this very coup. then in february and in 3 months he will fully fit in as a state manager and bring country until the next crash was like that. well, the whole company. but i know, i'm transferring much more understandable examples for probably our viewers. i will return to the president's speech later, because if i draw historical analogies, then, of course, this is khodorkovsky in 2004. well, not in vain, by the way, he soared there. it was generally very funny to watch in this here picture, because at first he almost screamed in relation to the groom, brother, all of her later, when his own people there already began to pull him up. well you, too, so it's khodorkovsky herself, well, he said. well, i don’t want either one or the other, but it’s good that the war and troubles, but his first reaction. well, in this sense, he would recognize it all. i know i'll say this. it seems to me that this is a lot more. in short, everything else is much true

yadullah ma'al jama'ah, this work is done and this work is done because it brings with it the supreme power. the reason is that when the people participate, it cannot be imposed on them against the will of the nation. after the completion of the government, the man extracted that with the participation of the people, the power of the government will increase and the people can enter and the economy and the advancement of the government and the economy in this era of the government of the people and i think that if the people participate directly in the supply, the power of the government decreases you know, for two, it has been a long time since the completion of this, and the power of the government increases with the participation of the people. it depends on the way the government and the people interact . define the next thing that the imam says that the power and accuracy of identifying the people is high, and this causes participation because it causes we can use the capacity of the link of our message with the participation of the people. these people's egos create knots in many case

society, the russian army , the russian elite lost full confidence already, to be honest, in the supreme powers the current situation has proved that this is not so trust in the president is huge. there is no trust in the army, although there is war and war, of course, we cannot say that we were all pleased. yes, no one is happy about it, but its goals are clear to the people, unlike what it was then, unlike what it was then, that in this sense, just thank god and we have a completely different situation. and the case of this wagner just showed that the people are russian society. even those who are internal may not be completely loyal, but they understand the impossibility, in general, of a war falling into some kind of civil war into some kind of chaos, because for us this is a catastrophe. we all understand. this is henry sitting with us. this should never be allowed, and our people understand this, unlike the people of the russian empire in february of the seventeenth year, thank god. therefore, in this sense, i say so, here is mine. opinion is the last thing i want to say, i must read, th

conservative, white people doing something that's never really been done with the supreme court justice. a very powerful supreme court justice. i happen to know in trying to find out how many other troops were being taken by numbers of the supreme court, and by any standards that anybody talks, about this is the largest case, the biggest example, the most flagrant example. however you want to phrase it. of a justice of the supreme court accepting gifts of magnitude of hundreds of thousands of dollars, including $500,000 given by harlan crow to chinese political action group, an offshoot that she was running of the tea party. she was paid $120,000 a year out of. that so these are all things that are factual and accurate and i think very different than anything michelle a bomb ever did or could conceive of. >> let's take a quick look at the portion of the, film from the earlier days, of clarence and ginni thomas. here's a look. >> she sees that outside world that is attacking her as something that needs to be beaten down. something that needs to be destroyed. >> it was spiritual warfare, good versus evil.

it holds the power of the purse over the supreme court. it requires justices to write circuit, for example. so i would like to ask all three of, you does congress have the power to enact the search act? >> mister chairman? >> yes, -- >> professor -- sorry, mascot? >> do we have the power to enact the search act? >> without getting into all the details of the, act i think the questions that i have raced in my earlier statement about the particular bill here is -- who is involved in enforcing some of the rules and requirements put into place, for example, putting lower court judges -- >> sorry, we do have the powers. there are concerns about how things will be implemented or how those kinds of -- my question was simple, do we have the power to enact the search act? i would say yes. professor? >> yes. >> things that you testified to, mr., chairman really caught my attention. you referred to the wall street journal's 2021 report where in 130 federal judges presided over more than 650 cases in which they had a material financial interest. i woul

another thing to reflect on is how much power we give the supreme court justices. these justices outlast presidency after presidency. justice clarence thomas was confirmed in 1991, and he has now served during six different presidencies. bush, clinton, bush, obama, trump, biden. so it is important when these vacancies come up, the supreme court justices possess more power than any person in our government, and we are reminded of that now. >> these justices will be around for potentially 50 years. >> and they are making them younger and younger, and it is a requirement looking at justice jackson and the three trump nominees were low 50s and younger and that is why. >> we go to steve, we go over to you, because yours is one of the twitter accounts that i watch on the supreme court day, and we will start with today, and also what you are thinking of and reflect on and where we end on this huge term today. >> well, i have to think that power is the right way to think about this, and the amount of power that the court is claiming to insert itself into basically every ki

and the supreme court has too much power. and the reason they say that these hard right to ministers is because they want the supreme court to be stripped to his power. so yes, it is kind of part and parcel of this, but it's not quite the driving force. the driving force is what they call the destruction of the supreme court, very intricate situations that you've explained for us. thanks very much able to call them that far as notified. respect. thank the rushes defense minister has appeared on the plane in frontline for the 1st time since the mutiny and demands of his removal. the leader of the wagner group, who is most read so full side by side with the russian ministry that the rebellion on saturday, as long as the chief blame said, guy, sure you get for the fight his debts. he's also accused him of incompetence and corruption of to take control of russia's southern command post and roast of on don't if gunny precaution demanded show you'd be handed over to him to quote, restore with justice provoking hasn't been seen in pu

>> the supreme court has become too powerful, and to political. is putting our rights and our democracy at risk. i think that when you think that something is broken, as the supreme court is clearly broken, you have to take steps to be willing to fix it. that is what this law would do. this law would take the common sense, and constitutional reform, of adding four justices to the supreme court. that would restore balance to the court. it would undo the stacking that has happened, which has put this extreme right wing conservative supermajority on the court. and this is what the power of the constitution gives to congress. to set the number of supreme court justices. i think we should use that power to restore balance to the supreme court. >> what is your reaction to clarence thomas targeting the right to contraception, again, today, with his original list view of what the founders thought. even though then, contraception didn't exist. and women weren't justices or senators. >> what justice thomas said today, lays bare exactly the direction that th

months of nationwide protests and the changes include giving the governing coalition more power to choose supreme court judges. the has moved one step closer to having the world's 1st law regulating onto official intelligence. it aims to ensure ai system is a safe and ethical and the tech companies comply with rules, but there are fears. it could be developers to leave europe for other markets. so u. s. federal reserve has left interest rates on hold is the 1st poles after raising weights 10 times since march last year. the central bank has been trying to bring down inflation and the world's largest economy without sparking a recession. inflation has flowed in recent months, but it's still above the long term targets. it might have how far we've come and tightening policy, the uncertain legs with which monetary policy affects the economy and potential headwinds from credit tightening. today we decided to leave our policy interest rates on change and to continue to reduce our security is holdings. looking ahead, nearly all committee participants view it as likely that some further rate increases w

and my response, that is actually the most important textual check on the supreme in the constitution is congress's express power to impeach supreme court justices. like maybe we don't all agree that that the the stories that the revelations and the propublica reporting gives rise to an impeachable offense. but the notion that congress lacks the authority to decide that question right and to actually investigate whether individual justices have engaged in impeach liable conduct if is both like horrifying to me as a separation of powers person. but such like perfect of the moment we're in and as a civics textbook person, i think texas civics textbook, no, just civics textbooks. it's going to make a generic the part that is striking to me is that in the case congress has made the decision to begin articles of impeachment. there was a mechanism on the other side of that, regardless of how that came out, called an election in which the person in question be held accountable. if these are lifetime appointees, there is no mechanism for all of us to to in at election time on a clarence and this and this and goes back t

so roosevelt was the popular, powerful and democratically-responsive president, and the supreme court was a tremendous obstacle. and so reelected overwhelmingly in 1936, he decided to use his political capital on his supreme court problem. >> what did he do? what was his strategy? what was he trying to accomplish here? >> well, he took it very personally, actually. he had this dream of, that the supreme court would cooperate with him in getting his programs through, his new deal program. now, maybe john can help me understand and our listeners whether roosevelt was being disingenuous or whether he really believed that the separation of powers didn't apply to him. because the idea that, you know, that he would -- as he came up with the idea, appoint six new justices and he would cooperate with them or they would cooperate with him in getting his program through is, you know, insane to our way of thinking today. so it's a mystery to me, you know, how much he believed, you know, that he could really merge these two branches of government. but what happened is he got, he was really smarti

immediate effect of that earlier alabama decision, yesterday the supreme court dismissed an appeal coming from louisiana that would have diluted the power of black voters. okay, given the recent very controversial and conservative rulings of this current supreme court like overturning roe v. wade, you may be wondering what exactly is happening over there on the roberts court. writing in slate today mark joseph stern writes the ruling is a paradigm attic example of the court's turn. republican litigants come forward -- roberts joined by the liberals plus justice brett kavanaugh or justice amy coney barrett or both declines the invitation. in the process this coalition gets to look reasonable, moderate, and independent even though they are just leaving the law where it was before. after the atomic bomb that was dobbs and its ongoing toxic fallout, kavanaugh and barrett must surely be taking some comfort in the shelter justice roberts is offering them. joining us now is mark joseph stern, and he's a senior writer covering the law. let me get right to it. so i think i know your answer, but john raw roberts didn't need to rule on this case,

supreme leader in this regard. they moved aside conducting communication tests for everyone, in fact, our devices do not have the right to enter , but outside of the powers the legislator and general policies have defined to explain and draw , the court will definitely fulfill its legal duty, an operation that still , if a resolution in the supreme council of the cultural revolution and if the supreme council of cyberspace has gone beyond their duties and powers, they can file a complaint and the administrative court of heaven can enter it . it is very good. i will leave it with me in a few years the presence of one of the cases that will speed up the people to easily reach their rights in the hands of the sovereign is an image in article 11 of the law that obliges the institutions to attend. the court of first instance and appeal is the one that deals with the case of individuals or a person comes to an institution to file a lawsuit, but there is another department called the specialized boards and the general board of the administrative court of justice . i deal with government regulations and governance it is a group format and it is considered in a p

the supreme court only has the power that it has because we, the people, give it that power. if you if you look at the constitution, the part describing the courts is only 1/10 the length of, the part describing congress and the presidency, democratically elected and accountable branches. the court has grown to its preeminent role in our system, at least part because the public and the political system trusts it to not just act as a political force, but to be in some ways above politics to to be a court. and if it is seen as being partizan, as being activist, is just changing its rulings based on who's on the court rather than precedent or doctrine that makes some sense that all undermines people's to go along with what they have to say and increasingly court itself and reform of the court and attacks on the court will become a part of american politics. and undoubtedly, undoubtedly, that that can't be what they have in mind. they you know, the supreme court depends on this aura of silence and reverence. they're they wear robes. they're not wizards, but they wear the robes an

powers. and in this case, the supreme court majority said he tried to exceed his powers and he couldn't do it. let's look at the supreme court real quick before we move on to the next case. clearly former president donald trump has a large and lasting effect on the supreme court. as you look at the justices now, what is your prognosis? get that crystal ball. you talked about any sort of turnover or change with the high court. they're pretty young. they're pretty healthy age. no, no. i mean, now i would say that they are acting those six justices are acting as if we have power now. let's move full speed ahead. let's put pedal to the metal and get as much done by their lights as they possibly can. the two oldest justices is justice alito and justice thomas. and they don't look like they're going anywhere now. maybe someday they will, but not right now. and so it just seems as if they're making every attempt. they, meaning the six, are looking for cases reaching out as they did with the lone case and the same sex case to make the law move in the direction they want it to move. and they just seem

power. so what the supreme court thinks joe biden can do versus what he cannot do. the argument is that the scope of this student debt relief program was such that joe biden would have required and authorise ation from congress to get it under way, which he did not have. now this plan of biden's was backed by an older law protecting student loan borrowers in the event of a national emergency. the supreme court of course, now saying he cannot invoke that law. but of course this was an important priority for joe biden. he can't just leave this issue on address and these new measures that we've heard about now. well, it's important to realize that they are the backup plan. if they were the measures that he thought would be the most effective, then those would have been the measures that he presented in the 1st place. but what we are looking at is a contingency, and you only choose that if you're forced to which in this case joe biden is. so this one was about presidential reach, but there was another major during today and that was on the rise of businesses to, to few

who said on cnn at his town hall meeting in 2021 he didn't have the power to do it, and nancy pelosi said he didn't. and the supreme court says you didn't have the power to do it and for the average republican out there like you knew it was unconstitutional and did it anyway. they see this as a bit of a trap and this is a political tactic to try to use it in 2024. i actually think a lot of republicans are sympathetic to student loan borrowers but they're also sympathetic to the constitution, and the way joe biden should try to solve this problem in their minds is try to pass the law and not bypass the constitutional boundaries put in the presidency and given to the congress. >> i'll let karen respond. >> again, they did try to pass laws and it was republicans in congress with a little help from a couple of democrats, but we didn't have the republicans vote to actually pass measures to help bring student relief. and so, again, all these decisions taken together, this is huge point of contrast between who democrats are fighting for, who this president is fighting for. are we expanding the circle of opportunity or mak

. >>> the supreme court this morning announced its decision in moore versus harper. >> conservatives argued state legislatures had a total unlimited power over elections. scott mcgrew, the supreme court, however, did not share that opinion. >> we got that decision this morning. the supreme court agreed that -- had the supreme court rather agreed with this idea, this independent state legislature theory, it would have given state lawmakers almost unfettered power to do whatever they wanted we elections, would have totally changed the way we think of how democracy works. but it didn't happen. and the status quo remains. the courts also ruled on the case of a man who's convicted of repeatedly sending threatening messages to a musician via social media. the man said the state of colorado should have been required to prove he knew he was doing wrong, not just that the messages themselves were threatening. the court agreed with the convicted man to a degree, saying prosecutors should prove both the messages were threatening and that the person sending them at least acted recklessly. now, that is a low legal bar for prosecutors. what we did no

in which the epa defined in such roadway to the regulatory power, it took the u.s. supremeourt to say you went too far, congress didn't give you that authority, and we are striking it down. as president, i will make sure i use executive authority to control the administrative state that doesn't burden our businesses, farmers, ranchers, and our way of life. whenever you look at what's coming out of washington, we need parents running our schools. we need parents engaged, making decisions. we need to make sure we empower our local governments to make decisions so they don't all come out of washington, d.c.. these are unprecedented and unpredictable times we live in today. i look to the future and we have to play smart, to win, to turn back the tide. is a critical time in our country and we have to make sure we stand firm, we can win in 2024. ronald reagan was a mentor. i have already mentioned him. i watched him closely. yes, i am a ronald reagan conservative and there are three characteristics of ronald reagan i believe with you. first of all, he was a consistent conservativ

they have sweeping powers as mentioned, they cannot be checked by state supreme court's or by the governorstate or federal courts or the state constitution. some people expect related that this could be interpreted by folks like the top supporters in 2020 two say that state legislatures -- donald trump supporters in 2020 to say that they could throw out edicts that tell them how to run their elections. a majority of justices said they cannot do that. nothing changes but there was a lot of beer that is good up-end the way that -- fear that this could change how legislatures could control elections. >> the justices reversed the conviction of a man who had made regular threats to a stranger and said that is because it violated his free-speech rights. as far as the justices are concerned, when is a threat a true threat? >> that's what they were trying to decide, there should be as objective standard here that they should look at whether he meant to be offering these threats, he was serious about them. the state of colorado was saying there should be an objective standard, reasonable present sa
