as a political scientist
i am really did want to get
your thoughts on justice scalia announcing
that that is basically no longer immediate
nell what he refer to
as they restore entitlement
a like for you weigh in on that i would think that justice scalia wasn't are
suffering from watching parks in those too much
i think they have that'll change that echo chamber they have the talking
points
and they follow those talking points that group of conservative right we know
what i call riding right wing nuts
and so he slipped as a justice to call was something that is a basic
constitutional not only civil right but human right
an entitlement
that was a mistake
that i'm sure if he had to do a brigade he would never do it but the bottom line
is this whole issue a pre-clearance
and for of section five of the
of the voting rights act is is really very important and really instead of
trying to levy emanated
what they left the election has been a straight is they need to they need to
broaden the absolute because i a lot of the chicanery as you call it not only
took place in this uh... this is must for southern states
it hasn't even reached to the law of the states like pittsburgh pennsylvania ohio
and some of the stuff that they were doing
so this is a critical point when you have somebody like that sitting at that
at the highest
rail
uh... of justice and power is very scary in terms of what the future holds if
they belong on that
as media
let's go back to your days
at as a uh...
as a in professor instructor
of political science at
univeristy of district of cologne
what
was the message
you most wanted your children
your your students
to leave the classroom
very seldom when someone took my first fundamental
uh... sick uh... university wide requirement course of government
nobody wanted to be there
they just had to take it
and so they were there
and i used to always open advice and read the you like them and then not
governmental action
and if you don't learn how this government operates if you don't learn
how to structure you don't have the
how they execute how are you going to be a victim for the rest of your life you
never know your writing on them understand the system that julienne
that that though the message that a always sent all my students know your
government
know your rights
study your constitution know what the fit what the federal government's rights
are over the state the state of the local government
know the difference between
what he called the balance of power know the difference between the legislative
power of the executive power in the judicial power and you can be a very
powerful person somebody who rides around the city our travels in this
country with me is always amazed at how respond two different things people of
of priority or whatever else because i am salt linden
to what's right what's permissible what does not have to be tolerate it
it's a bit personally powerful pain
and we get all walk around as individual people of powell we understand the
system we working on that we have been
so that's west are with him and then i can with them is if you don't vote
then you can't
top you can't complain play but you but once they get to the plaid ones too
that's like directly could tell me he didn't enjoy in politics he didn't want
to vote he didn't have to vote
askin as i've got so mad was right after jesse had made his speech at the
i think the most men the fifteen th march on washington of lobsters there
and i asked him why
they have to wait what you see it see it
i went deaf thank you sit here and i went off i said you know fifteen years
ago you could not only when i worked there you could even trial nicole's
and it was the boat they gave you the right to stand on its not much of the
messenger you a manager c_s_
don't come back and discuss right above the right scott without a love of uh...
uh...
registration card down sacking make involved who register
on my first real
i hated uh...
near bearing
uh... tony williams million of your dandruff wearing them
uh...
uh... centric as sharon pratt
and uh... that's great
called in to participate
former mayor adrian fenty
decline
to participate
two things
a-one is
each of them paul about
uh... statehood and you know my very clear position is is that it's
it's it's
clear tyranny
taxation without representation
always was
is now
and always will be
taxation without representation
so i wanted to comment on listless first if i can get your comment on the sixty
there's something in this city called the federal prison time at the local
political science professors i have no
fail a bit more
and that is there a lot of billions in this city
that up alone in occupied by the federal government and we cannot tax them
so we lose a big tax break
and it gives way back is called the federal pin which does not make up for
them
presents that they have
we have no
final decision over are always
all over my g_-eight
overt anything that governs our life i think is the craziest most inhumane
baying ever
and i cant understand why still going on it's not even getting better right
randall was getting that you know things of peace tree corrects itself it
increments
that just hasn't happened so i intended as a matter of i see is when we get
less democratic any less black you will get more
you know also set the ball to being able to get the boat uh... for ourself one
recent itself
uh...
to tutu did that alan
destiny but i don't i don't i don't know when that's going to happen i'm
hampshire on
uh... right now at the risk of probably
repeating myself but i don't remember so i'll do it anyhow
was to say that you know this is the nation's capital
we are the beacon
them up
and
here in the nation's capital
the opposite of democracy
is being practiced and i think that's just the
that said that that message that this is an absolute trappist
