i went to law school because of women like ruth bader ginsburg and not enough good can be said. here we are in 2021. why so angry and demanding. it really does dignify enough. like we are not sitting down and saying let's have a little bit of compromise. the amendment bands funding and disappointment and an amount of reasonableness. you shouldn't have to pay for the government funds. i think that we are looking at the human rights issues approach to this not only for abortion but the gender equity and trying to control who has sex with who, who has babies with whom. having an assertive based approach to this and i think it's timely. a lot of progress on the issues and looking at marriage is a fundamental decision and looking at people's ability to live safely in the streets and equity. is this a part of that liberty and dignity and something that you kind of chip away and ask nicely for. >> we agree with that and i hope people will buy and read the book because how you did take a different approach in terms of the basis for these rights and your theory on human rights is compell

to quote the late justice ruth bader ginsburg in her dissent, throwing out pre-clearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you're not getting wet. that's what the john lewis voting rights act seeks to restore and even expand, those pre-clearance provisions that would force states like georgia and texas to get permission from the federal government before enforcing restrictive voting laws, and it's well on its way to passing in the house. that's the good news tonight. the bad news is the bill is dead on arrival in the senate where the filibuster, of course, still reins supreme court. as unlikely as getting ten republicans to support the measure is getting democrats joe marchp and kyrsten sinema to reform the filibuster even when the future of american democracy is at stake. this is what it took when john lewis fought for investigate rights in 1965. that's a billy club being swung at him. all that's being asked of manchin and sinema is to vote the right way on the filibuster, on voting

in the dissent, however, justice ruth bader ginsburg said throwing out preclearance is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you're not getting wet. and just like that what had been described as the heart of the voting rights act was gone. it was no accident that shelby county, a teeny tiny county in the south became the bell weather for voter suppression three years prior to the supreme court decision. the 2010 census found that, like many counties across the nation, shelby saw an explosion of diversity. according to the u.s. census, shelby county had a nearly 297% increase in its latino population, a 95% increase in african-americans. and a fifth of their population was between the ages of 5 and 17. that's important because it meant that there was a generation of young latinx, african-americans, asian-americans, and white allies coming of age getting ready to cast their first vote in the coming elections. and that's what they did. in 2018 latinos became the second largest voting bloc. it made it possible for red states like texas and georgia to move forward with n

announcing, thursday, a plan to honor supreme court justices ruth bader ginsburg and sandra day o'connor with their own statues inside the capitol or in capitol grounds. republican senators lisa murkowski and susan collins and democratic senators amy klobuchar and kyrsten sinema are spearheading that legislation. it has 17 co-sponsors, including several male senators. justice o'connor, a conservative. and justice ginsburg, a liberal. were the first and second female justices, respectively, in a statement klobuchar put the effort into focus. saying, quote, the capitol is our most recognizable symbol of democracy. a place where people from across our country have their voices represented and heard. it is only fitting that we honor the remarkable lives and service to our country, by establishing statues in the capitol. alaska senator, lisa murkowski, adds their leadership has made a difference for women and families, for generations to come. and how right she is, justice ginsburg argued a series of historic cases before the supreme court before she ever even served as a justice. establishin

i would agree with ruth bader ginsburg. first let me say as the census bureau pointed out in the 2020 census, our population has grown. it would also suggest we see some growth in voter participation based on an expanded population. that voter participation in and of itself does not suggest however that there are not problems. as the reports submitted by the leadership congress in 10 states with additional states following demonstrated, in each instance there are recent and current instances of voter discrimination that belie the notion that indeed our country is operating with full equality when it comes to the right to vote. i certainly think the prophylactic role of section 5 of the voting rights act is key to ensuring that everyone in our country, not just racial minorities but others as well, enjoy the right to vote as was intended under the constitution. but this extra additional protection is necessary and has been worn out by what we have seen at the individual state level and that has been documented by our reports
