nothing about that. in fact, they don t even talk about racial polarization and voting very well. there s so much that they get wrong in this decision. that s why it won t stand the test of time. it s going to be overruled, no doubt about it. if i could jump in on barbara s point, i think the terrible irony is that they didn t look at alabama. the plaintiff in the case, who has an incredible recent record. absolutely. of voting violations, and has been under the microscope of the justice department for exactly that reason. and, you know, one of the things, i think, is very disen heartening about the opinion, and maybe is revealing, is how little attention is actually paid to the constitution. right. and chief justice roberts barely gives a glance to the 15th amendment, which says which is where it is! right. congress has the authority to pass appropriate legislation. now, ruth bader ginsburg, who i know now we are all super fans of, pointed to that very clearly and sa
china has imprisoned dozens of journalists on charges of revealing state secrets. russia has a brutal record of discrediting, harassing, and beating journalists and anti-government activists as well as stealing super bowl rings. ecuador s president has intimidated critics by pressing criminal libel charges against him. snowden is giving any country he hides in more leverage in their dealings with the u.s. when it comes to russia, those dealings include trying to find a way out of the civil war in syria. look, snowden reportedly has more information with him. u.s. state secrets that he says are even more significant than what he s already released. that russia and china authorities will be measure happy to get their hands on, if they haven t already, and if he wasn t intending to spy on the u.s. for foreign governments, he s as good as doing it now. i can see the merit and the knowledge of the nsa programs, but edward snowden is risking a lot to save his own skin. that s not something i

92-year-old rosanell eaton, who in her early 20s was required to recite the preamble to the constitution just so she was eligible to vote. she was willing to get arrested this past monday to protest against new voter restrictions. so as we continue to see the repressive action at state level, so too are we witnessing the waking of a sleeping giant in the form of the people s fight. rejoining the table are kenji owe seeno and wade henderson. barbara, the people are fighting back! how do they win? well, listen, we win when we fight. that s one guarantee. you ll never win if you don t fight. that s certainly true. and one thing we knew about the supreme court, was even if they would have upheld, we would still have to fight. fight to enforce it. we ve got to fight now with the legislature. listen, i m asking people everywhere, rise up. rise up for justice. this is a fight about the new america. american is in a transitional stage. people right now want to go to the old america, the
