Series of hearings on the state of the federal judiciary in the 21st century. This hearing we will investigate ideas for promoting ethics, accountability, and transparency in the federal courts. We focus on these ideas and our first hearing on the judiciary because they flow from two foundational principles of due process. First, that no one can be a judge in his own case. Second, to quote former Supreme Court Justice Felix frankfurter, justice must satisfy the appearance of justice. Both rules embody the understanding that the constitutions implicit promise of equal justice under law depends on at least two things that our court must be fair, independent and impartial and that we must also believe that our courts are fair, independent, and impartial. Justice must satisfy the appearance of justice. It might take a second but we intuitively understand that. It means that as the Supreme Court recently explained, both the appearance and reality of impartial justice are necessary to the pu

Ms. Lofgren we will consider the securing americas federal election act, a targeted bill to modernize our nations infrastructure and respond to the ongoing attacks in our democracy. As we all should know and appreciate, our country suffered as special counsel mueller said, multiple system attic efforts to interfere in our election in the 2016 president ial election. When outsiders medical in our elections, its an attack in our country and cannot be staged to defend against the sophisticated cyberattacks of state actors on their own. While we have made modest progress to bolster our defenses, it is clear from our Intelligence Community and host of independent experts from across the political spectrum that more must be done. Our state and local governmen
Hotel room overnight. Apparently they dont. Thank you for doing this. I appreciate it. So ive been at events like this wall street journal executive events in london, tokyo and now here in the last three weeks and everybody wants to talk about trade. So lets start with trade. Lets start with mexico. Big deal over the weekend. Immigration agreement with mexico that stopped the president from imposing tariffs this week on all goods coming from mexico. Is this a done deal or is there something yet to come that mexico needs today. And i ask because the president tweeted that the agreement includes a fully signed and document addition that we havent seen yet. He talked about this a little bit ago. He flew out to iowa for an event and talked to the press a little bit. What weve got is an agreement with the mexicans to do a couple of different things. Your newspaper has reported on them. It includes sending a bunch of troops to their southern border, doing more interdiction of illegal migrant
the trump administration. bill: investigators haven t made a decision to indict. tax violations, foreign lobbying and false statements. that is still a lot we do not know. that could all change possibly very soon. hunter biden clearly led a pretty free wheeling life. it seems evident from what we know he used the fact of his father s possible flew as a way for him to make money. there is a lot of smoke there. i think we are probably about to find out whether there is fire. if he is indicted it will be interesting to see what the alleged facts are and whether directly or indirectly they implicate the president. bill: team fox coverage from jim trusty. we begin with david hunt in washington hi. the investigation officially began four years ago. heavily sidelined and delayed. a source confirms the grand jury tasked with looking at evidence wrapped up its latest term. the case may now be in the hands of the government to make the next move. the president s son hasn t been
In terms of of logistics, how the evening will go, im going to talk a little bit about the topic. Im going to say a few words about my own research, how i came to pursue a topic in civil rights history, and then were also going to talk about a document that i had you read before coming to class, the plan of delano, and were also going to talk a little about your oral histories. Thats sort of the way that the next hour or so will progress. And i want to start off with things i hope you will take away from the course of the evening. And im going to be argumentive and try to be bold in my statements. I would definitely say as a historian that when we study the delano grape strike that it is one of the most significant, important, labor and Civil Rights Movements for not only mexican americans, latinos, but also filipino americans in the 20th century. Some might even take it a step further and say that the united farm workers conducted the most successful boycott in all of u. S. Labor hist
