states supreme court justice. i am going to refer you to blood versus cohen, which, involved kurt blood, a st. louis cardinal and the majority opinion was written by justice blackman. however, it's fairly unique amongst the opinions in that he wrote a sort of valentine to baseball that the rest of the majority opinion did not endorse. the first section included a lengthy list of baseball players, hall of famers mostly. and i cite this for the proposition that it is not unusual for a supreme court justice to have an interest in baseball or for that matter bar president. so as a tone of our appreciation, we are selected a baseball themed gift for you. it's obviously this baseball bat engraved with your name, may 16, 2007. and we'll be enjoying, of course, the baseball game later this evening. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. [applause] thank you. i will certainly treasure this. this will go into the baseball shrine i have in my office. i am just as enthusiastic about baseball as justice backman was.

one step below the supreme court. that is a serious matter. it is something that i have to wait and my judgment as to whether or not you should be on the court. secondly, from your writing, and i have been on this committee 14 years, i consider them to be the most advanced statements of the active list judicial philosophy that i have seen. there is not anyone close to that. it is a little bit a demonstration of some lack of sensitivity deep, practical legal experience, that you have no difficulty in talking around the direct contradictions in your riding and the positions that you are taking on some of the questions. there are very clear distinctions. i do not think they are easily breached. with regard to the foreign law question, you suggest that yours is not an unusual view. i would suggest that it is clearly, from the statements that -- it is on the court with the most aggressive foreign law citation theories. in your yale law 2006, you wrote, before the 14th amendment mandates equal protection, it guarantees natu

i did also right that the supreme court, california's supreme court might have some reasons for revisiting that precedents, but under the optical president it was a straightforward case. straightforward in the sense that property should be upheld and that this was a as was a popular position with some of the applicants, and it was i think a correct reading of the law. and the california supreme court ultimately agreed. >> thank you, and my time is up. thank you, madam chair,. >> senator lee, you are up the next. >> thank you, and thank you, professor liu, for coming in a bring your family to join us today. i like to start by talking about the commerce clause. on page 72 of your book, "keeping faith with the constitution" you wrote as follows, the court has declared certain subject off limits of federal regulation by attempting to draw a line between economic and noneconomic activity, referring presumably to the lopez and morrison line of cases. a line that looks much more like the oldest issue between what directly affects congress and what touches it only indirectly. in its incoherent and

week nights watch the supreme court. on the weekends watch "the communicators" and "newsmakers" and "q&a." it's searchable on our c-span video library. a public service, created by america's cable companies. a discussion now on contenders and possible contenders for the republican candidate for president in 2012 from this morning's "washington journal." , the associa editor for the politics channel. let us begin with the speculation over sarah palin and the headline in "usa today," trailing her on her bus tour. is she running? guest: no one really knows. she is on a bus tour. people do not know where she is going to go on the bus tour, a new mpshire, but if you look at the website, it is not like she has set up a schedule of places to go. it is hard to speculate about. someone asked her at gettysburg if she was running. she said she did not know but the republican field with shakeup a lot. sending mixed messages. this is a strong sign that she is getting on a bus and going upnd down the east coast and in new hampshire, s

and the next court immediately under the supreme court of america. with that, i suggest the absence of a quorum and ask that the time be divided equally. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mrs. boxer: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from california is recognized. mrs. boxer: in any event, i ask that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. the presiding officer: morning business is closed. under the previous order the senate will resume to executive session to resume to the nomination. the clerk: nomination, the judiciary, goodwin liu to be united states circuit judge for the ninth circuit. mrs. boxer: mr. president? the presiding officer: under the previous order the time until 2:00 p.m. will be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees. mrs. boxer: mr. president, i am very honored to speak in favor of the goodwin liu nomination and to urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to cast a p

but what are you calling for that case to be heard before the supreme court they run into yet another state secrets while in fact u.s. solicitor general neal argued in court papers the government's interest in national security must be deemed paramount to the interests of private litigants in pursuing civil actions so in other words protecting national security is a much bigger priority for the government than an individual's personal rights and that's where the problem lies even though we'll never know what these state secrets are we're willing to throw away individual liberty in their name just another example of obama invoking the exact same principles arguments used by the bush administration all while pretending to be different now i'm going to take a quick moment to explain why this is so infuriating not only has obama sided with bush era tactics but he's encouraging the highest level of justice in our country to dismiss instances where people sustain torture when clearly the government knows how to keep any defense contractors on their side just throw out any case that involves

you want to be on the supreme court? >> it would have been very nice. >> could still be very nice, actually. >> could be. >> yeah. what, what, what makes it so appealing? you look at the folks assembled on that court sometimes and it looks like it's nnt a particularly fun job. >> i wouldn't say that. i mean, obviously people come from different backgrounds but they do in my court as well, whichhis. >> right. >> .two people more than the supreme court. but hat makes it fun and interesting is the court gets the chance to choose the 75 most interesting 10,000.ut of a pool of about >> right. >> .that it can hear every year. >> yeah. and o if you, if you care about this stuff as obviously as you do, having served for so long, this is the ultimate opportunity to, to. >> right. >> .weigh in and to affect everybody. we all get affected by what happens at the court. >> absolutely. >> yeah. what does it mean to be on the short list? they ask for you to submit materials so they can do a background check and then they contemplate yo

now house but we can now include the supreme court not category c. the supreme court justices have said that they would not hear the case of muhammad versus jefferson data plant and the case was originally brought before a san francisco court in two thousand and seven rules on in two thousand and nine the five men alleged that the cia had them shipped to foreign countries or they were tortured which could have been part of what the cia practice most commonly known is extraordinary rendition which has been dubbed torture by proxy and many circles and we also to point out that this wasn't brought against the u.s. government or the cia now rather it was brought against the bowling arm that actually transported these men to other countries or the torture was reportedly conveyed it and the five men in this case. binyam mohamed bashir al-rawi and muhammad for. all claimed they were captured in one country and then shipped to another two of them later to get mo using those boeing planes and in two thousand and nine the san francisco court chose not to hear

fork cases where the person has two prior convictions, they would go to the california supreme court for further review, and four justices on the california supreme court would need to approve the governor's action in that case. the california supreme court spends over 1/3 of their time working on death penalty cases, and they are under enormous pressure financially. the entire judicial system is. while we do not know what the supreme court would do, it would certainly be a huge relief to them to have these death penalty cases go away. after the death sentences had been converted to life without parole, it would be a question of reclassifying the inmates and moving them into other high- security prisons across california. then, the question of where they were in the appellate process would have to be addressed by the courts. in fact, both people -- most people on death row are still waiting for attorneys to be appointed, so in most cases, their appeals have not even begun. not most, 45%. they do not have habeas counsel, and many do not even have their first appellate attorney. a lot

also, supreme court of oral arguments. on the weekends, you can see our signature programs including "prime minister's questions" from the british house of commons. you can watch our program anytime at c-span.org. c-span -- washington, your way. created by america's cable companies. >> last month, a group of former nasa space shuttle commanders share their experience and a national symposium hosted by the space foundation. this is one hour. >> because we want to give each commander as much time as possible, i will keep the introductions brief. there are more detailed bios in your brief right there. the leadoff commander earned his astronaut wings in the x-15 rocket powered research craft, flying to a maximum altitude of 280,600 feet. in 1977, he flew pioneering approach and landing tests in the and powered spatial prototype at edwards air force base. he later commanded to orbital missions aboard columbia and discovery. representing the flight test vehicle enterprise is the retired air force major general, joe engell. with

supreme court. and on the point of hollywood that people keep bringing up, it seems to be the 800-pound gorilla meth. if you go anywhere people will say as the 2,000 people live here, how many movie stars do you know? and people say, what is it like? they don't mean what is it like to live in greater los angeles but hollywood. then it is a little bit offensive to think that everybody here is in that part of the industry when there is so much that goes on. other industries and businesses and concerns, some interlocking, some entirely separate. if he did devon diagram hollywood may not be a big part of that, but it becomes this massive overhanging mythology that does influence even people who don't have anything to do with hollywood. >> the doubleness of branding in general. branding makes you more visible, familiar. but it is also incredibly reductive at the same time. but i think, you know, one of those things about branding in terms of los angeles, it's interesting that this effort to create a myth

last week indiana supreme court ruled three to two that citizens do not have the right to resist illegal entry into their homes by officers of the law this means that if a policeman enters your home we've been in the am without consent and you try to physically impeach him he can arrest you and that arrest is valid and you may be punished by law regardless of whether or not the officer was justified in come into your home or was following procedure this is a blatant violation of this. basic rights and the sanctity of one's home and while throwing off the police state isn't going to happen overnight it's an income it is very encouraging to know it least that someone is already going something about it and this case joining me now is stephen skolnick a student at indiana university who's organizing a rally to protest this isn't by the in the us supreme court and today there's one week from the event happens to be stephen's birthday so what better way of celebrating then going on television stephen thanks for being with us tonight and happy birthday and it's my pleasure how are you doing to

court decision in kentucky versus king in which the supreme court affirmed the legal right of so called law enforcement officers to forced entry upon simple suspicion of destruction of evidence now i was genuinely surprised by this and i was i was really offended that it was an eight to one decision but i couldn't think of anyone other than you that would find a way to not be surprised by this were you surprised at all by this decision no neither of the one in illinois where they can you where it's unlawful to resist unlawful entry into your home by police it's not surprising at all that i'm this is the natural state of affairs when governments begin to run out of money with which to bribe their citizens they end up you know that the dollars run out and the fists come out the best way to control the citizenry in the absence of being able to bribe them is to threaten them and that is a natural for states at the end of their lifespan well specifically whole i got a presence if you're saying bribes in this context being offset by somehow an increased incidence of home invasion how does tha

now still to come tonight we have my eye on flood violence or supreme court issues a limitation when it comes to the use of state secrets but will this limitation really change the questionable buddy buddy relationship between the supreme court and the government and then stick around for happy hour preacher who predicted the rapture he says it's still going to happen and should work if he'd be declared a world heritage site by the u.s. artie's laura lister and christine for his hour join me for some time in just a moment. we. will. show you. the freedom. hey guys welcome to shell and tell the obama show we part of our just stop to say on the topic now i want to hear audio just go out you tube the video response or the twitter profile of the questions that we post on you tube every monday and on the first day of the show going responses. fun fun fun. fun. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so poorly pleat you think you understand it and then he lives something else and you hear see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm s

[applause] >> it's now my pleasure to actually say the supreme court precedent to a supreme court justice, and i will refer you to flood versus coon, which involved curt flood, a st. louis cardin cardinal, and the opinion was written by justice blackman, and it was unique as he wrote a sort of valentine to baseball, that the rest of the majority opinion did not endorse the first. and it included with baseball players, and hall of famers and it was cited as precedent and it's not unusual for supreme court justices to have an interest if baseball. and as a token of our prees appreciation we have decided on a baseball item and for this date, 2011 and enjoy the baseball game later this evening. thank you. >> thank you. >> i will treasure this, it will go into my baseball shrine i have in my office. i am just as enthusiastic as baseball as justice blackman. and i will joined that, and so you know that's the truth. when the marshalls drove me to the hotel last evening after they picked me up at the airport. i had a request and they may have thought it was strange. and i gave them a street addre

supreme court to resolve. that is not something cities or states are there to do, to decide they're going to condition residents on immigration status. we'll know in time probably soon after they decide the arizona se what they're going to do with the hazelton position. >> since this was around the implementation, do you think there's any possibility of interaction one way or the other? >> well, there's always possibility of congressional action. the problem has been that immigration and legislation generally is so radioactive that any little piece, which could then be the vehicle for additional immigration measures scares a lot opeople. when i came back to washington in late 2008 and early 2009 about the great reluctance to take on immigration legislation unle you're going to really incur the pain for the big overall solution. it's just a personally wearing, nasty, difficult issue. so i don't know that we will see that. but that does raise -- i don't think we'll see that immediately. i think it'll be an issue

next, remarks from supreme court justice samuel alito. that preparations meant reading legal briefs and documents. he spoke recently at at a metropolitan bar of st. louis' lunch. this is 40 minutes. >> fellow judges and attorneys, and a non-attorneys who have managed to infiltrate the room -- [laughter] i hope there are a few of you. thank you for the wonderful introduction. he and i were law school classmates, it seems like a couple of years ago. he was one of the stars of our law school class. it would not have surprised many of his classmates to learn, had they been able to foresee this fact, that today he surely would be one of the real stars of the federal judiciary. i want to thank him for the great introduction and all of you for the warm welcome. and i want to thank the bar association for all of the courtesies that had been extended to me. it is a great pleasure for me to be here and have this opportunity to talk to you this afternoon for many reasons. among other things, i welcome this opportunity to congratulate your bar associ

now still to come tonight we have my own flood or supreme court issues a limitation when it comes to the use of state secrets but will this limitation really change the questionable buddy buddy relationship between the supreme court and the government and then stick around for happy hour after each other who predicted the rapture is that still going to happen and should we could he be declared a world heritage site by the u.s. parties lauren lyster and risking her as our join me for some time in just a minute. we. heard. we haven't got the. ready for freedom. hey guys welcome to shellings tell me alone a show we've heard are just shocked to say on the topic now i want to hear audio just go on to you tube video response i want to twitter first thought of the question the police host on you tube every monday and on thursday the show is gone the sponsors leave your voice. for. fun to. get up sometimes to see a story and it seems so poorly you think you understand it and then you've lived something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok if you do

when justice stevens step down from the supreme court, he expressed his opposition. he said this process has made the death penalty fundamentally unfair. >> i will let you answer these in order. can you share any sense that you have a death sentence -- that the death sentence inmates were for themselves as human beings? and how could you bear to preside over an execution and how would you handle this? please describe a situation where you would bring so many charges against a prosecutor for job-related conduct? >> as you have both said, this is determined before the execution takes place, this goes from 10 and on up. one of the strangest things that happen to me when i was first sent to death row in was that they were getting ready to execute a guy. and during this course of the execution, they prayed for the victim and their families. this was shocking to me. i am innocent. but everyone here, they will pray. death row in louisiana, you cannot see outside -- you can see outside, and you can see the front gates of the prison, so on execution nights, you can see the pe

>> well, we have a 1944 supreme court case followed bit 1945 act which says -- >> health care? >> health insurance would be later than insurance in general. >> you have health insurance, i'm talking about health care. there is an enormous amount of involvement by the federal government in health care. >> there is certainly involvement in the health care industry and so forth. this act says that congress will primarily allow states to regulate and license insurance and defer to the states. that's what we have done since 1945. >> it is congress' determination, you recognize that there is a supreme court case that congress under the commerce clause has the authority to regulate insurance. you don't challenge that, do you? congress doesn't have the authority to regulate commerce? >> not in interstate there are other commerce related insurance. certainly not. i don't challenge that. going back to the points in comstock -- >> congress does have the authority to regulate health insurance, does it not? >> it has the authority to regulate those who participate in health insurance. comst

that's why people are criticizing you in the supreme court how about you follow the law you stand up for the basic rights of everyone you stop pushing your political agenda while wearing a judge's rope calling you out for dismantling the constitution and our civil liberties does not make anybody illiterate or lazy i just think that's the way you prefer them to be so they wouldn't take notice of your dangerous rulings but too bad for you we do know is so expect the criticisms to keep on coming. all right it's time for happy hour this evening and joining me tonight is archie producer jenny churchill and for the first time r.t. correspondent christine fares out hello ladies you to join me tonight we talk a lot about videogames on the shell obviously and there's always a video game that causes a stir but this one is actually kind of crazy was commissioned by the chinese army and unlike most video games where you can just shoot at random guys and in uniforms that you can't tell where they're from this time they're actually shooting at men in american uniforms take a look. and i mean if yo

board of education was decided by a unanimous supreme court in 1954, the supreme court of the united states has recognized the legitimacy of state action to desegregate schools. in fact, the supreme court upheld the use of race as one factor in admissions decisions in the 2003 case gruder v. ballinger. although some -- some -- on the far right of the supreme court have argued that both brown and gruder should be disregarded to the extent they recognize the permissibility of efforts to achieve diversity in public institutions, it is, i would argue, those justices out of step with the mainstream of federal jurisprudence and of the constitutional tradition of this country. even in its most recent case on point, the 2007 supreme court decision, parents involved v. seattle school district, which struck down a specific desegregation program, five of the nine justices that made up the majority opinion agreed with liu that achieving diversity remains a compelling governmental interest. the notion that somehow professor liu is an ideologue on these issues is belied by his actual record. as a

right you know me administration and the supreme court's look at this last month and so it will be up to the supreme court whether or not they'll tweak it i suspect they will because it's becoming a contentious issue and as you said there's a patchwork rulings around the country so that in some states they can use it without a war and in some states they can't really say that the court's going to want to have some kind of final settlement and i'm curious quickly to the obama administration the justice department what's their legal reasoning as to why they don't need a warrant why this isn't an invasion of our privacy. what do you think you've been since similar to this surveillance they don't think that it's any different then a police officer standing a suspect in a car they don't see that it's a privacy violation in that sense and you don't you know warrant for an officer to tail. i want to tell since they're so that's the way that they feel that. i can i want to thank you very much for joining us today and well i'm with you and hoping that the supreme court does take this one on be

right you have army administration announced the supreme court's look at this last month and so it will be up to the supreme court whether or not they'll tweak it i suspect they will because this is becoming a contentious issue and as you said there's a patchwork of moving some around the country so that in some states they can use it without a warrant in some states they can't and i really think that the court's going to want to have some kind of final settlement and i'm curious quickly to the obama administration the justice department what's their legal reasoning as to why they don't need a warrant why this isn't an invasion of our privacy. what they did they couldn't since it's similar to this surveillance they don't think that it's any different police officers handling a suspect in a car they don't see that it's a privacy violation in that sense and you don't you know warrant for an officer to tail. i want to tell since that so that's the way that they do it. came i want to thank you very much for joining us today and well i'm with you and hoping that the supreme court does take t

republican lawmakers are calling the supreme court decision a travesty, devastating and shameful. they claim early releasing -- releasing prisoners early will make communities here more dangerous and will increase crime in the states. >> people need to be outraged about this. i think our first response is, should be no. we're not going to do this. you know? if the supreme court wants to do this, then, you know, justice kennedy, you bring your keys down here and unlock that gate and you choose which ones you want to live next to your friends and neighbors. >> others argue you're the court's decision may give governor brown more leverage for his government realignment plan which calls for the transportation for of low level offenders to county jails. >>> this is an interesting story, from sewer to salvage, 72 years after a bay area man lost his class ring it's back on his finger tonight. the incredible story of how the keepsake was returned to its owner. >> reporter: in 1938, about the same time jesse maddows bought this yearbook, the class president made another important purchase.

swing vote is isn't a probable that when this hit hits the state supreme court the the scott walker is going to get his victory i don't know that first off restart another day or so to figure out whether that supreme court race is settled i joined kloppenburg to challenge justice process or is still considering whether to file a legal challenge to the process and to argue that there were so many irregularities that a judge should look at it that might be late in the ceiling of justice process that we don't know and certainly remains in some conflict beyond that i think we have to be careful about presuming that he three or four conservative justices on this court will necessarily vote to he's actually got the open meetings law. in wisconsin just to judge sunni's ruling was very very clear and very very small d. democratic government i suspect there's at least a possibility that even some conservative justices might go along with that we all need to remember earl warren for example were appointed as i recall by eisenhower you know a good conservative republican or did the koch daddy

those in the supreme court made clear it was now going to change to accommodate a new government. they complained, quote, so-called public law courses are organized with too much difference to separation of power, jurisdiction, due process leaders will interstate commerce, etc.. schools should recognize private inheritance would be kept to a minimum in the new society. local government law should realize what lawyers need to be trained in new forms of regional development had howard has been set up and on and on. law schools interested -- the mission of systematic training for policymaking. part of the ingenuity was schools would train you how to be a private lawyer that whole segment of society would stop being so important and it was so terrible and it was terrible on a number of levels but let me stress how terrible it was at prediction because even a policy lawyer and the alone amy street lawyer, the last thing you would want to do was substitute tennessee valley authority organization approval. if you turn to public law every single one of these concepts turned out to be vita
