Coach for the worlds current number two. Some of russias bestknown prisoners, including the two jailed pussy riot members and 30 greenpeace activists could be freed after the country passed a wideranging amnesty bill. Pregnant women, mothers, veterans, and those with disabilities are also set to be released from prison. Thousands of people will be freed to mark the 20th anniversary of russias post soviet constitution. Will talk more about this with a russian journalist. First, here is this report. It did not take long to rubber stamp the kremlinbacked amnesty law. Thousands may now walked out of jail including prominent putin critics like the two pussy riot activists locked up for a protest in a russian church. This amnesty is the most wide ranging in years. It could lead to the release of highprofile western detainees the kremlin might like to see the backup. The amnesty law extends not only to convicts, but to those under investigation as well. This is important. That is significant
saved by the affordable care act. i m halfway through my treatment now for stage three breast cancer. i m responding very well. people do not have the facts. they re not informed. they re just holding on to these ridiculous talking points without thinking this stuff through. why they are able to stand there and say and wear shirts that say keep your hands off my health care. what about my health care? what about my children s health care? maybe they should take their hands off my health care and my children s health care. are we supposed to leave people without a life line? the gop can slam this law all they want, but it s literally saving lives. and because of that, it s a badge of honor for this president. i have no problem with folks saying obama cares. i do care. if the other side wants to be the folks who don t care, that s fine with me.
this is florida governor jeb bush signing the first stand your ground law in 2005. the woman next to him is former nra president and powerful lobbyist. after the bill was signed, miss hammer approached the corporate backed american legislate i have exchange council. and asked them to adopt florida s law as a model bill. the law was approved unanimously. it became a template that a.l.e.c. and the nra pushed across the country. a vast right wing conspiracy? there are powerful groups at work here. and it s time to do something about it. joining me now is adam wienstein. adam wrote a new article on how a.l.e.c. and nra helped spread stand your ground. and lisa gray. thank you both for being here.
and quite frankly it s embarrassing. they don t even address the legal issues that the department of justice asked. in law school we were taught when you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. but if you don t have the facts and you have the law on your side, you argue the law. and in this case the governor has neither the facts for the law on his side. and this is a political document. that s all i read it as. when you were on with me, we talked about the need for preclearance by the justice department because florida is a voting rights state. and the 90 days, you told me they re under the 90 days. so they don t even address that. let me go to you miss mcnamara. attorney general of the united states eric holder addressed the league of women voters nationally and he talked about equal protection and fair representation. let me play this to you.
