Chief Justice Roberts mr. Sullivan . Mr. Sullivan mr. Chief justice, and may it please the court to the maryland case and if i can address some of the concerns heard in the argument that you just had.

Justice kagan was this an excessive political consideration . I dont think it was, your honor. Like it or not, this is the norm one has more than 60 of the vote in congressional elections. Justice kagan if thats right, then the defense isnt really we cannot tell the difference, because you only need 10000 votes to do the population measure that baker requires, and instead mapmakers move 66,000 republicans out of the district, 24,000 districts, flips the composition from 47 36 democrats,nd effectively ensuring that 35 land, whi
Accommodation worked up to the political process. I worry that litigating all the stuff with First Amendment prudence, we lose the flexibility to negotiate. There is no reason to have one national rule, we should be striking different balances.

Wonderful. Greg, you have spent the last 13 years defending free speech on campus. How do the battles today look different than they did when you started . And what are the most important battles today . You recently noted that you have a growing list of 120 speaker controversies in recent years to my including highprofile dissident cetaceans deuce invitations disinvitations. What is the state of freespeech battles on campuses today . Im the one weird Law School Student that went to law school to do First Amendment law. My passion was freespeech. I dont k
Center this goes to the. I see familiar faces in the audience. Many of you know we are live on cspan all day today such as want to share this information that we have with our cspan viewers, and that is this. The National Constitution center is a private nonprofit but it was created by congress on the bicentennial of the constitution to disseminate information about the u. S. Constitution on a nonpartisan basis. And that means that we are the only place in america in these polarized times that invites people from all sides of the spectrum, left, right anyway between, to debate not political questions but constitutional questions, and let citizens make up their own minds. And as part of this Inspiring Mission i cant imagine a more exciting and momentous event than the one were celebrating today on bill of rights day book festival been of the new exhibit at the National Constitution center which displays one of the 12 original copies of the bill of rights.

Is legally prohibited from investigating its own workers misconduct. Investigate your coworkers misconduct. Instead, because of the way that they had anp, argument for doing it this way. All of those have to go to the Inspector General for the department of homeland security. Is the dhs igs who is never had the resources to police the police force as large as cvp, does the rest of dhs and has never been able to devote the resources that they need to investigate corruption. You have seen at least hundreds if not thousands of cases of reported corruption within cvp that is never investigated because of this weird bureaucratic quirk. It is played out in recent years.
