that s come out, which isn t just the government, it s also the private sector. and here s where it gets troublesome. one moif great heroes and daniel ellsberg. i have immense respect for daniel ellsberg. one of the most powerful things that daniel ellsberg did was provide those pentagon papers and then say, i m taking the hit. whatever comes my way right. this is now, snowden will make the case that things have gotten worse in america, that there is a tougher line on whistle-blowers and i think there is concern there. real concern that our government does crack down too much on whistle-blowers. but, i will argue this but, come on, come on, come on. in the south, when first graders break school rules, we arrest them. in this country, there are women giving birth who are shackled to their beds, because the law they broke was coming across the border. there is a serious public safety issue here. i don t know how serious it is, because i don t know what snowden s got
doing, bad cases. this is a internshterm where th just said straight up, we re about employers only. and not workers and not the communities. that s right. the decision on local land jurisdictions and land development, this idea that you no longer have to meet the burden of localities to say that the land use that you want to put it to use for is, in fact, environmentally sound. this sort of thing, ow dangerous can this be? i mean, we know the big cases, but i think sometimes we miss the smaller case law, kenji? i actually want to go back to the baby veronica case, if i may. that was a really tragic case, the indian child welfare act. so you have an adoptive couple that has baby veronica and then her biological father, you know, is part of a tribe, the cherokee tribe, and she is 1.2% the baby is 1.2% native american, so under the indian tribal welfare act, there s a tussle about
also just add there that while we re praising justice ginsburg, she s the only one who dissents in the fisher case. and i think she dissents precisely because, she s like, you re not going to catch me again. she went along with that case and it blew up in her face. and roberts keeps using that against the left. she says, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. the notorious we ve got one more block. i ve got to say, i kept asking how i could get a four-hour show today, and we re packing in as much as we can, i promise. it s simply a huge newsweenews. we had a lot of debate about how to send the letter to, but ultimately, there was one person who had to get my letter. my mother made the best toffee in the world. it s delicious. so now we ve turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea
accountability center did a study that showed the center of commerce, something like 88% of its cases in the supreme court for the last several terms. and that means on the losing side, our workers are employees who are victims of discrimination or consumers, and i think what we can essentially say is that the roberts court has closed the doors to the courthouse for real people. and really, this access to justice, it s a whole set of cases involving class actions and can people come together when you can t litigate a case by yourself and only by joining with others. is it economically feasible to go after some major wrongdoer. but there are a whole other series of cases that have been slowly but surely making it harder and harder for people to vindicate their rights. and now, if you can t vote, to bring in the president, who will get to appoint the next because even if this president gets to appoint another justice, it s the liberals on the court
whether or not in order to restore tribal sovereignty, she needs to be returned to her biological father. the court says, no, she doesn t. it s actually a fascinating case, because at the very end, justice alito, who s writing for the majority says, you know, there may be some equal protection issues here. so it looks really bad it s really much along the vein of the affirm ative action cases, o i don t want to let go of it. it s another one of these time bombs that i think is being planted by the right. and it s a painful one, because there s the case of these families and their love for this child, and then there s the large legal question, right? and i just kept feeling like, did no one read solomon? like, you re not supposed to divide the baby, and yet that s exactly what we see happening. i just want to, i think barbara raised some really important cases. the american express case, certainly, is one in which this court has recognized yet again that corporations win. and we v
