law enforcement likes to say they are only enforcing the laws and don't make laws, but the secret of forfeiture reform is the only entity opposed is law enforcement and it is a powerful lobby. i have personal experience with reform efforts in states like missouri, where there has been widespread bipartisan support for forfeiture reform, eliminating the equitable sharing loophole, and prosecutors and individuals from st. charles county, which profits substantially from civil forfeiture, come in and lobby key legislators and basically say you do not want to look soft on crime. you will be taking money out of law enforcement's pockets and we will make you pay for that politically, and that sort of process repeats itself all around the country when there are forfeiture reform efforts. they are almost always bipartisan, supported nearly unanimously, and yet law enforcement opposes these efforts because they view it as taking money out of their pockets, and that's the primary obstacle that people who want to reform civil forfeiture law face, that law enforcement is a powerful lobby, able t

these are my sisters in law. these are women who are doing the same sort of thing that i�*m seeking to do. they were really running women�*s courts, often, where they were trying to get justice for women, against violence against women. there had been an introduction of the international convention, the un convention on ending violence against women. it had been brought into afghanistan law and women were involved in those courts and prosecuting those offences, and then the men were released from prison and were coming after them. so, you know, for as far as i was concerned, the international community, particularly the legal community, had a duty to act. i understand. i mean, it�*s a very powerful case you make, and the humanitarian need is very obvious. but are you saying...? well, we got a lot of them out... but are you saying that britain and other countries, �*cause this is also about the law, it�*s about attitude and policy making toward migration, are you saying that all due process has to be sus

law really matters to me. and... but this, i do think, it's where the rule makers start breaking the rules, they have to be held accountable. sadly, we are accountable for the time and we've run out of it. i'm sorry about that! we could have talked about so much! baroness helena kennedy, we have to end. thank you so much forjoining us. you're welcome. thank you. for some of us, it's going to be a very foggy start to friday. if you are planning to travel through the morning, take it steady — particularly across parts of wales, central and southern england. but i think for most of us it should be a sunny start to the day, brought by this area of high pressure which has been hanging around for quite a while now. windless conditions, too, but quite a temperature contrast across the uk and, in fact, the breeze isjust about coming off the atlantic across scotland, so frost—free here and frost—free generally for northern ireland, too. the frost will be across the southern half of england and wales — even “4

in a case setting a law. the natural law sources for the idea this is the concept of liberty that he thinks the framers were putting into the constitution. as nicole alluded to, the big question in this area is the privileges or immunities clause. he thinks that is where rights are extensively incorporated and that is where they come from but he is setting up her suppose of equality government by consent, and a level rights for clinton the declaration. these are all in our constitution. -- inalienable rights for the declaration. these are all in our constitution. to determine what the immunities are, aside from any rights that are explicitly mentioned in the constitution. >> any other comments from the panel on the role of natural law? >> after our organizing meeting, i knew this was coming up as my research assistant, to go through all of justice thomas' opinions, to all reference of natural law or natural rights were the declaration of independence.

so what do we know about the georgia law, and i read the law. what we know is that the controversy that the president spoke about and the controversy we heard senators speak about, it is illegal to get water while waiting to vote. now, that claim has been proven false. it is not illegal to get water while waiting in line, and it's false. the only time you can't get water while waiting in line to vote, according to georgia law, is someone campaigning for someone -- campaigning for someone, you can't bring them water, if you're an election worker, you can bring them water. that is false. if that is the threshold of the new jim crow era, it looks nothing like the past. however, even that is false. what else is in that georgia law that is supposedly the poster child of voter suppression? it allows for early voting to include now the souls to the polls where you have sundays where you can vote early. in fact, 17 days of early voting. more early voting than the president's own home state or new york. it allows for mail-in ballots without an excuse. th

law really matters to me. and... but this, i do think, it's where the rule makers start breaking the rules, they have to be held accountable. sadly, we are accountable for the time and we've run out of it. i'm sorry about that! we could have talked about so much! baroness helena kennedy, we have to end. thank you so much forjoining us. you're welcome. thank you. hello there. it's been an unsettled start to 2022, hasn't it? but wednesday changed all that for many across england and wales. after a frosty and foggy start, we had pictures like this — a beautiful scene in wrexham, hardly a cloud in the sky. it was chilly with it, but further north, we had more cloud. however, it was scotland and northern ireland that had the milder weather, with temperatures topping out at 12 or 13 degrees across eastern scotland and northeast england. now, this was the what situation on wednesday, and it's a fairly similar story to close out the working week. high pressure�*s still with us, a south—westerly feeding cloud and

law and any other laws. if you are a law—abiding citizen, if you are doing business, if you're doing, you know, if you're doing your work, people have freedom to do all sorts of things here in hong kong. i urge all the people who are watching this programme to just come to hong kong, come to china and see it for yourself. you know, there are expatriates who are living in hong kong, and they're so happy because of all the freedom they enjoy in hong kong. if they use the phrase "tiananmen square massacre", they're going to get arrested, aren't they? would you be prepared to use that phrase? well, first of all, are you sure... there are a lot of things that people are basically putting out when making accusations, when there are no real evidence to support them. people are making accusations about, "oh, yeah, there are..." sorry, ijust asked you a simple question about... "..forced labour or genocide in xinjiang," before even being in there. when i... it was 1984... when it was 1989, i was five years old, 0k?

but, you know, access, correction, deletion, all of those types of rights that you see in law after law. anti-discrimination provisions. all of that. the ftc has to examine a specific company and decide after the fact using its authority to police unfair or deceptive practices whether a practice was unfair or deceptive. but there aren't clear requirements. all those elements aren't clearly required in any nationwide law that applies across different situations. and so as i think i said in my testimony, the ftc's been able to do a lot with its authority under the ftc act. but it would be so much better for the public, for consumers, for businesses, everybody in the marketplace to have rules that everyone knows what they are and they know what the consequences are if they violate them. >> thank you very much mr. lane, i'm glad today' hearing question consider legislative proposals like the big tech discussion draft they authored that would require companies to disclose their content enforcement decisions. this is intended to cover illegal activity and harms that are happening online such

expensive than those of new york, then the laws of delaware and of the laws of connecticut and massachusetts and of new hampshire. it is a long list, mr. president, a long list. and you can see why senators like me, my constituents in particular find it more than just a little bit annoying when you have these smug arguments of republican states being jim crow 2.0. let me give you another particular one as it relates to new york, the majority leader's home state. my state has no excuse absentee voting. we've had that for many, many years. now, the state of new york just had a statewide referendum to have same-day voter registration and no excuse absentee voting to meet the high standards that we have in alaska. now the people in new york recently rejected that. i don't know why. i'm not from new york. i'm sure they had what they thought were good reasons to do that. but if the majority leader keeps coming down calling republican states the restrict voting jim crow 2.0 is it going to go to times square and call his own constituents jim crow 2.0 relative to my great state? because they just red

national security laws. as simple as that. they're not coming back again. these visuals are they, they're never going to be allowed back. and just the motherland you said, but to do want whitewash embarrassing history. they're good at that on the, these rituals, if they become a tool political to, for, in fighting hatred or antipathy against the motherland that will do more much more harm to hong kong than we should allow, you know, it's as simple as virginia. it's been good to have you back on comfort zone. thank you very much. indeed. thank you for having the ah ah, with a they were murdered, exterminating both their existence and history buried. and yet some people still experience their presence. the ghosts of war saw murano. 16 minutes on d w, the global population is growing, which means we all need more energy, petroleum, nuclear power, and wind energy, for maybe hydro energy, reliable and or sustainable. what does the future of energy look like? it made in germany. in 90 minutes on d, w o. the battle

security law. regina it, with all its birthday celebrations, china's trying harder than ever to cover up its brutal past. isn't it? at least 3 monuments to the 1989 gentlemen square massacre have now been removed from hong kong campuses. and police have tried to stop the june 4th candlelight vigils in victoria park marking the killings allegedly because of covert risks. in 2020, you told me you didn't think there be any difference to these commemorations after the security law came into force when you were dead wrong. want you fed wrong? well, the statutes were removed by the decisions of the university authorities . that's what they said. that's just an again, nobody believed that nobody believed that. i don't think you believe it. yes. well, i do. i think it's a, it's an autonomous decision made by the government, guns, bodies of the universities point number one, as for june, 4th victuals last year. definitely. they could not be help because of covert. now this year, you know, we are in the quip

laws are actually more permissive in some respects than voting laws in some democrat states. georgia offers no excuse absentee voting. the democrat leader's home state, senator schumer's home state does not. in fact, voters in the democrat leader's home state actually just rejected a ballot measure that would have allowed no excuse absentee voting. i guess the democrat leader thinks that those voters are trying to destroy our democracy. georgia also has way more days of early voting than the democrat leader's home state. so does arizona. another state that has come under fire from democrats for updating its election laws and yet red states, according to democrats, are the states attempting to suppress votes. it's also important to note that the georgia law was written to address concerns from republican and democrat voters, including concerns raised by stacy abrams, affiliated groups over the 2018 georgia gubernatorial election. mr. president, there's no question, no question we should make voting easy and accessible. but there are a lot of different ways to do that. and stat

most of which gladly never make it into the law. but in south dakota our legislature meets every year like most legislatures and introduces a bunch of bills and acts on them, conducts hearings, moves them to the legislative process some become enacted and signed into law, most don't. one of the bills that did get signed into law was a bill that created a photo id to vote. it was passed in 2003. it worked well in south dakota. people supported in south dakota and across the country. and after 2003, the 2004 election was the largest turnout in modern history at least for the years we have that kind of information available. 78.6% of people voted in the 2004 election after in 2003 the south dakota legislature passed a photo id law. there are some ideas out there that are pretty bad, and i'm not one who is here to say or to dispute the 2020 election. the 2022 election is over and it's been decided. it's the largest turnout since 1900, largest turnout in 120 years which is why you all are arguing the states are going in and changing thin

even law school students. they will come around and asked me what is it you find particularly meaningful about your job? what gives you a thrill? that is not such a tough question for me to answer. same thing. day one, almost. up to today, i do not have any. what i say is i sit there on the bench. after we hear lots of cases, the impression -- it takes a while. the impression you get, as you all know, this is a complicated country. there are more than 330 million people. my mother used say it is every race, every religion, and she would empathize this. every point if you possible. it is a kind of miracle when you sit and see all those people in front of you. people that are so different and what they think. yet they have decided to help solve their major differences under law. when the students get too cynical, go look at what happens in countries that don't do that. people have come to accept this constitution and accept the importance of the rule of law. i want to make another point to them. i want to say, l

any time we enact laws, those laws can have consequences. we want to make sure that any laws we enact and codify don't make things worse or don't create one problem while purporting to solve another. the legislation we are talking about today is something that we should scrutinize to make sure we have it right. i have some concerns with it. the inform act has a laudable goal, one all of us would share. cracking down on counterfeit and stolen merchandise, sales on the internet. nobody wants that. everybody wants to crack down on that, at least everyone in this room. i wonder how difficult some of the requirements might be for some companies, especially smaller online marketplaces. by smaller online marketplaces, i mean to a degree, anything other than the largest among them. anything smaller than the largest among them could suffer. for example, the bill requires verification of high volume third party sellers and requires that within three business days. then it also requires annual -- continuous annual certification of all sellers. the thre

and racist laws. i mean it it does give you pause to think that they lived through it not all of them did but you know lived lived a life that that gave us what we have now, and i know we still struggling we are we still trying to figure it out a month goodness the contributions that they made and are making you know is is worth telling the story for sure. tell me why this book needed to be. with well back when i was a civil rights attorney, and i was in these little towns in alabama and georgia that you know, basically there was nothing to do after i finished working on my case and meeting with the parents and i would be in these motels not hotel motels and as i'm sitting in these motels and there's nothing else to do except watch television. i would ask myself. how long have we been doing this? how long have activists been coming together trying to fight for our rights using law and so i decided since there's nothing else for me to do except work on my case and write and i always wanted to be a writ

so what do we know about the georgia law, and i read the law. what we know is that the controversy that the president spoke about and the controversy we heard senators speak about, it is illegal to get water while waiting to vote. now, that claim has been proven false. it is not illegal to get water while waiting in line, and it's false. the only time you can't get water while waiting in line to vote, according to georgia law, is someone campaigning for someone -- campaigning for someone, you can't bring them water, if you're an election worker, you can bring them water. that is false. if that is the threshold of the new jim crow era, it looks nothing like the past. however, even that is false. what else is in that georgia law that is supposedly the poster child of voter suppression? it allows for early voting to include now the souls to the polls where you have sundays where you can vote early. in fact, 17 days of early voting. more early voting than the president's own home state or new york. it allows for mail-in ballots without an excuse. th

threat to those labor laws and you also have conservative minded individuals who do not like labor laws, but they're still opposing the era so both conservative and liberal protectionists believed that women required special protection. they just differed and where that protection should come from. so for conservative protectionists women's protection should primarily come from the male head of the household. they thought that government reform efforts like those special labor laws. undermined husbands governing authority in the household now liberal protectionists believe that government reform efforts could also serve as effective instruments of protection for women even with those differences though. you still have like i said before liberal and conservative protectionist. leaving that women needed special consideration and special protection because of their roles as mothers and caretakers at the home. so a shared desire to preserve the law's ability to treat men and women differently on account a sex after the passage of the 19th amendment and in the face of the developing equal ri

how can anybody be so blinded to the laws of this country that they can ignore those laws? how can anybody be so blinded to our constitution they could ask people to violate the constitution, commit crimes in my name, and don't worry ... i'll take care of you. i'll make sure you're pardoned. madam president, this country is going to get back -- republicans and democrats alike -- believing in the rule of law. disagree if we want, disagree at the ballot box, but follow the law and stop giving the impression to the rest of the world that we're some kind of pending dictatorship where the law and the constitution are set aside to the whim of whomever is elected. i'll speak more on this at another time, madam president. i know the distinguished presiding officer has spoken out on this matter before. i greatly admire what she has said, and i will continue to speak out. with that, madam president, i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: quoru. quorum call: quorum call: >> i think they are all excellent names

laws, but the law can be changed. as long as congress -- congress frequently overturns supreme court decisions in the patent area. in 2019, two u.s. senators involved in ip issues did advance a bill that has eliminated all supreme and other president relating to patent eligibility. that legislation did not advance in 2019 and then covid came along and lots of other issues were before congress. but, it is back. this summer at the urging of senators, the patent and trademark office made a public call for comments on how these patent eligibility decisions from the supreme court are affecting industry. they got a lot of responses. 140 different responses that they are sorting through now. it will probably form the basis for on the legislative effort in the next session. susan: are the senators bipartisan? jorge: it is bipartisan. interestingly, patent issues don't really fall along party lines. there are lots of divides in the world, but republican and democrat is not the big one. you have people on both sides agree. susa

security law. my job was wrong with that. that's. that's all part of a healthy page on the state of freedoms in hong kong. if you have a position on the national security law cor harris as poor harris, i mean, he should be prepared to face rebuttals. it was more than rebuffed lloyd. well, it's forceful rebuttal. you know, we need to make our position clear to the bar association. you know, in fact, the bar sensation should stick to the law, not to politics and not to spear on national security law. regina it, with all its birthday celebrations, china's trying harder than ever to cover up its brutal past. isn't it at least 3 monuments to the 1989 gentlemen square massacre have now been removed from hong kong campuses. and police have tried to stop the june 4th candlelight vigils in victoria park marking the killings allegedly because of covert risks. in 2020, you told me you didn't think there be any difference to these commemorations after the security law came into force when you were dead wrong.

law. 16 current republican members of the senate voted yes. it wasn't a federal takeover of elections then. it isn't now. and they know it. i'm the person chosen by senate democrats to count votes. and based on their public statements, two democrats may not vote to change the rules to allow this congress to stop this power grab. these senators have given their reasons. there's something more important than an existing senate rule, a rule that has been changed 160 times in the history of this body. the integrity of our free elections, the right to have your vote counted and our oath to uphold and defend the constitution i believe count for more. on january 6 after the insurrection was quelled, we returned to the senate to complete our constitutional duty certifying the election and declaring joe biden president. speaking to the few members of his party who still intended to challenge the electoral count on the feeble grounds that some of their constituents had doubts about the election, the

what the laws are. after the insurrection, i am buoyed by the fact that there are -- there were 88 bills across 40 states in 2021. they were, and spark -- part, inspired by our democracy when some people felt that the democracy was being questioned or threatened. there seems to be a greater investment in civics education, and you know, that is a net positive to me. those bills being passed and further empowering our young citizens to engage meaningfully and participate. guest: well put. to answer the question of how we keep our personal opinions out of the episode, we do our level best area --. we don't write the episode until we talk to scholars. perhaps you can say who we choose to scholars could influence how the episode goes. but i have to say, these are daniel allen, alton hillery, these are people who i adore who are brilliant. we don't figure out how we make the episode until we interviewed three or four people, and we take their words and we try to find a better way to tell the story as accurate

and 150 years of case law. they can't point to a single case where plaintiffs can make their case without information and still the court order dismissal. like reynolds itself, we are entitled to that opportunity, whether under fisa's rules are under common law. again, your honors, the court of appeals did not hold that we can ever seek privilege. the government can reassert privilege. >> counsel, can you give me an example of a case where use was employed the way you are suggesting? >> yes, in the firearms context this course has done it even without -- otherwise. the court has said, for example, in bailey the united states, just referring to a gun in the course of a criminal transaction is using it. again, i think also that statute against only use, we have otherwise use. so ours is only even more broad, other than the examples than the government used. sticking on the same point, if i may, your honor, it is conceivable that there might be some other use you could come up with, though i don't think i have hea
