first, the texas is possible for this law, second, can the united states hold texas to account and third, is the injunctive religious available in the answers is yes, down the line. texas is responsible for the constitutional violations here and in enacted a law that clearly violates his course presidents and it can enter design that lot for the judicial review by offering counties to the general public to carry out this enforcement function in a structured this system proceedings and so burdensome. insignificant liability that they chill the exercise in the constitutional rights altogether. in the united states and solvent interest in addressing this violation and sbh, and the brazen attack on the coordinate grants of the federal government is an attack on the authority of this court to stay with a lot is and have the judgment affected across the state and it is an attack on the congress' determination there should be access to report for review and federal courts for the right in the united states may protective supremacy of federal law against this attack. finally, the injunction of t

and believe me, at the university of texas, it dominated the teaching of texas and the alamo, that's exactly what happened. so you see a situation where this kind of, ugh, 19th century anglo viewpoint that is taught predominantly before world war i, is frozen in amber and still being taught to kids in the '40s, the '50s, and the '60s, and it's really not -- i don't want to get ahead of ourselves, it's really not until the '60s, '70s, and '80s, when a new generation of latino thinkers and writers and editors begin floating ideas, that the true nature of the alamo, historical nature of the alamo begins coming forward in the name of revisionism, which i believe is the wrong way to call it, it's a truer version of what happened. that gives you some idea of why texas history was frozen, has been frozen to this moment in some ways, for so long. >> yeah, and because it started out as something -- a form of propaganda but also the domain of hobbyists, that real historians didn't mess with the alamo and the texas revolt for a long time. didn't have any real scholarship in history. it was rema

it runs against texas and the state court judges in texas are being utilized to effectively create an apparatus that is so lopsided and procedurally anomalous and so hostile to constitutionally protected conduct of the existence of the suit no matter how they added you to get them create the constitutional harm by killing the conduct so we are not suggesting that the judges would do anything other than actually follow federal law. we think each and every one of these sb8 suits would inevitably be dismissed because it is unconstitutional but that doesn't remedy the harm because the care isn't being provided in the first place. a. >> to achieve this injunction against thela state courts, do e have too also overrule ex parte young where we said, and i will quote, the injunction against the violation of the whole theme of the government, the difference between the power to join and the individuals doing certain things and the courts fromo proceeding jurisdiction is playing and no power to do the latter exists because of the power to do the former. do we have to overrule that aspect of ex

finally, why texas up -- why texas's extreme abortion law. i asking him his consent. >> without objection. ms. bush. >> thank you for convening this hearing today. my plea today is with my colleagues on this committee and with the american public watching. take a walk in the shoes of an 18-year-old girl from st. louis, a black girl, a girl who is uninsured and suffering from asthma, a health condition she likely got from the burning of fossil fuels in her community. she cannot afford rent, she works a minimum wage job, and her friends consider her fortunate because at least she has a job. even in this job, she is making less then her white counterparts. she is also nine weeks pregnant, feeling alone and afraid. that girl is me. we live in a row that nurtures the care for black girls like me. if the world does not care about a black girl like me, what will happen to our black babies to grow up to be black girls to become black children and black adults? professor, you talked about the high mortality rates among black pregnant people. in a worl

i'm not from a state that is like texas but looking at texas and florida for a moment, texas and florida, for example, 22 weeks is it consistent with the decision? is florida in that part of its law looking at the viability into setting up a number that is certainly viable with today's science? >> absolutely. florida's law regarding late-term abortions is completely in line with the constitution. completely in line with the viability and the limits planned parenthood. >> today we are hearing something consistent in hearing testimony from yours that implies extreme by the court that has been well-balanced and somehow that it's extreme to set 22 weeks that babies are regularly born alive and well. >> there's nothing more tragic than abortion killing when a child can definitively survive. there's no medical basis for telling a child 22 weeks or leader, absolutely not. you simply need to be a human being. >> thank you mr. chairman. i rest my case. >> the time is expired. there is a series of more votes that started on the floor, so the committee will be -- we will do one more. mr. jeffries.

reporting tonight from austin, texas. >>> good evening from the texas capitol as we begin our across america journey tonight in austin. the skyline behind me has come to symbolize one of the stories that brings us here, this city's blistering growth, attracting major tech firms and an explosion of people relocating here for lifestyle and opportunity. we'll get to that shortly. meantime, the state of texas is at the center of our top story the u.s. supreme court today hearing two challenges on the most restrictive abortion regulation in the country. the texas law that has virtually ended abortions in the state and empowered citizens to enforce it. a number of justices today signaling reservations about the law and its potential broader implications pete williams has details. >> reporter: opponents of abortion rallied outside the supreme court in support of sb-8 the texas law that bans abortions after doctors can detect a fetal heartbeat. that's at about six weeks of pregnancy, before most women know they're pregnant. >> there is no question that a heartbeat signifies life, and that th

number 2, the state of texas. more than 37,000 people moved from texas and texas also happens to be the most common destinations for californians who are leaving here. so we just raining off, i guess the new york is the number one state sending people to california more than 37,500 people moved here from new york in 2000, 19. >> but not as many californians are making the move to the big apple. it is the 8th most to come and estimation from california. according to stacker. >> and now kron 4 sports. >> the forty-niners needed yesterday's win against the bears in the worst last probably would have meant a loss season. but now out slowly build back up all around the team also got some good news today. george kittle, jeff wilson and robbie gold are all slated to return to practice this week. jimmie ward will likely be out a few weeks, but you have to take the good with the bad now i mention morales second ago, kyle shanahan had someone to talk to the team on saturday night to help that morale heading into the game. g

abortion in texas. the second four was from the u.s. the justice department case was argued by the brand-new solicited general of the united states, elizabeth prelogar and because the justice department went second, she had the benefit of having the last word today. as the justices considered both of these challenges to texas's ban. but the texas clinic and the justice department are asking the court to allow the challenges of the texas law to go forward, to ignore texas's claim that having vigilante random citizens enforce this thing means that this thing is insulated from federal court review. but this is how she closed the arguments today, listen to her explain to the judges the implications if the side with texas instead. >> the final point is to just step back for a moment and think about the startling implications of texas's argument here. across the argument this morning texas'position is that no one can sue. not the women whose rights are most directly affected, not the providers who have been c

it was regarding the brand of texas. what is texas in brand and what is san antonio brand question always been the alamo city. when i dug a little deeper i realized they were about to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to revitalize the alamo. there's this whole debate about what story that revitalized, renovated, with the new museum. what story was it going to tell? it seemed to bring this whole thing back to the surface again. i wrote in a column a fight at the alamo had more to do slavery and liberty. that triggered a firestorm and a big conversation. >> richard brought the idea to us went to breakfast south congress one monday morning. jason and i, at some point he starts going on about all that you don't know about the alamo. all that you think you know is wrong. and especially what a burden the anglo dominant narrative has been. and at some point we kind of jerked up and said what do you say? after about another hour he does nothing but his homework i said somebody ought to write a book about that. until years l

the texas law, would go into federal trial court in texas. and indeed the court of appeals and say, we want to stay of this law, we wanted to not take effect until it is blessed by federal courts. and it's pretty hard to bless this law because it is a straight violation of roe v. wade, so we're taking the united states supreme court decision to really reinstate the law. and that's probably a year away. so i think the effect of today's decision is likely to be, today's argument, is likely that texas loses will be the say we've got to go to the lower courts, the lower courts will probably keep that lost state. so it can't go in effect -- can resume in texas for approximately one would be the next year. there is a lot of caveats and guesswork in what i'm saying to you, but i think that that's probably the most likely scenario right now. >> neal katyal, thank you so very much for starting us off on this night, really appreciate it. thank you. >> and joining us now, is doctor gisele of more yadi, she is an ob/gyn physician in texas and a board mem

so clients in texas, pregnant folks in texas aren't able to travel just when they want to and they have to wait and then not necessarily able to obtain funding to get to the procedure and can't travel without the money to get gas or a ticket or hotel and organizations like ours that supports that are inundated. we get 15 to 20 calls a day which is the average weekly. we hired new staff to respond to this need and still not able to meet the needs of every caller that comes in. >> melissa, we talked about the mississippi case a month from now but what will you watch today for a clue about where that case could go? >> as you say the existential question is whether the court is going to intervene to prevent trks from curtailing the rights of evenings within the borders and i think what we see today is justices tipping the hand that this is not a constitutional right at all. not one obliged to recognize and what i look for is not just the procedural questions but the larger questions whether or not this is something that deserves the kind of protection that the providers and the united state

no texas executive official enforces sb-8 either, and so no texas executive official may be enjoined. >> the justice department meanwhile is arguing that the texas law violates a woman's constitutional right to an abortion. the court's not expected to issue a decision on either case until the spring. until then texas law will remain in effect. the court is also scheduled to take up a challenge to the landmark roe v. wade case in december. we'll break down today's arguments and their consequences in just a moment. you're watching "meet the press daily". trust safelite. this couple was headed to the farmers market... when they got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service the way you need it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ i just became eligible for medicare, and i'm already confused. i just called humana; i talked one-on-one with an agent who suggested a plan that fit my life. you should call too! so i did. turns out an all-in-one humana medicare advantage pla

that doesn't means that texas will -- the texas abortion law immediately goes away. it just means there's now a federal court that can hear the case. >> and it was fascinating to hear justice sotomayor bring up 1789. how unusual this law that they're seeing is, and when you look at this historic context of it, i mean, if it's unusual to that degree, it seems difficult that they would go with it. >> indeed. i agree that texas is really on its back foot, and i want to come back to justice kagen's first question, because i think it really tells you what a tenuous position texas finds itself in as we pivot to the next argument. because texas went on and on here to say that what the abortion provider did, suing the state judges and state clerks in federal courts was improper. the justice said well, then, what does that mean for the next case? she asked about if they can't get relief here, can the petitioners get relief in the next case. and the next question is well, if abortion providers can't bring a lawsuit, then what can the u.s. government do about it? they have come

and across the state of texas. that gives us an extraordinary opportunity to make the case and win the election. >> i want to note that the polling on the governor's job ratings has gone down considerably. there's i think fair to say widespread di disaffection. you are tied in a head to head back in october. he has spent a lot of time the governor on talking about the border. there's been a lot of he brought governors from other states to the border. he has gotten pressure from his right friends. primarying him to deploy the national guard there. what do you think about the governor's approach to the border? >> i'll tell you as someone who was born and raised on the border. and my wife is raising our kid on the border. someone who chose to come here on the second day of the campaign. also on the border. if we want to know the answers to the questions we have to ask the people who actually live them. and experience thep. and understand them. so that begins with ensuring those who represent us whether in congress or

all else equal, if someone in texas were to -- if someone in texas were to present that same request as in alabama, the fact alabama was able to provide it would be a piece of evidence, not necessarily dispositive, but at least something to the extent that alabama has a similar execution protocol and a similar execution room. justice kagan: general, why isn't the inquiry really exactly how holt laid out the inquiry? in other words, you know, in holt, the prison officials came in and said men can put contraband in their beards and we have a security interest in preventing that. and what the court said was, you know what, i mean, that might be, but we're going to look around at other states, see what other practices are. to the extent most other states or many other states can deal with the security interest in the way that also respects religious interests of the inmate, then we're going, essentially, to, you know, say to the state why not you too? and in all of that, there is an appropriate level of deference given to prison officials, but there's also an appropriate level of respect

marc there come a lawyer — patients from texas. marc there come a lawyer from _ patients from texas. marc there come a lawyer from the - patients from texas. marc there come a lawyer from the center i come a lawyer from the center for reproductive rights, thank you forjoining us on tuesday. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme... we will tell you how this crawling frog is able to adapt to the changing climate. the israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin, the architect of the middle east peace process has been assassinated. a 27—year—old jewish man has been arrested, and an extremistjewish organisation has claimed responsibility for the killing. at polling booths throughout the country, they voted on a historic day for australia. as the results came in, it was clear. the monarchy would survive. of the american hostages there was no sign, they are being held somewhere inside the compound, and student leaders are threatened, that should the americans attempt rescue, they will all die. this mission has su

texas voted its new law by insisting that the texas legislature outsmarted the federal government and the united states supreme court by writing a law that empowered citizens to enforce the law, and, therefore, no one has a right to sue the government of texas to block a law that the government of texas is actually not technically empowered to enforce. here's what solicitor general elizabeth prelogar said to the court. >> across the arguments this morning, texas' position is that no one can sue. not the women whose rights are most directly affected. not the providers who have provided these women with care, and not the united states in this suit. if that is true, if a state can just take this simple mechanism of taking its enforcement ah authority and giving it to the general public, backed up with a bounty of $10,000 or $1 million, if they can do that, then no constitutional right is safe. no constitutional decision from this court is safe. >> mark harris said this. >> in enacting senate bill 8, the texas legislature not only deliberately prohibited the exercise of a constitutional r

two, anywhere in texas. texas is a bigger problem than rhode island there. the rate, it has no preclusive effect. jones 1 sues the clinic. clinic wins. jones 2 through 4,000 can sue. four, the attorney's fees very heavy. -- are very heavy. five, and they don't apply both ways. five, the penalty of $10,000, etc., is heavy. and, six, you are limited if you are defendant as to which kinds of defense you can make in respect to there being an undue burden, which is a problem because most of the undue burden cases speak generally of the effect of the law of the state, not on this particular defendant. ok? i haven't six that i got from you. is there a seventh? mr. hearron: i have two more, your honor. justice breyer: okay. mr. hearron: the first is that damages are not tied to the amount of any harm, which would be normally the case in a tort suit. and the second one is that s.b. 8 provides for a mandatory injunction, if there is a successful claimant, to prevent further violations, not to prevent further harm to the claimant. it's not tied to, the mandatory injunc

. >> james is with the texas tribune. what is the process for redistricting in texas? speak to the little bit different this year because the census got slowed down through some issues they had. but right now we are going through a 30 day special legislative session. in that 30 day special session where going to draw out new maps for the state house, the state senate, congressional seats we have in first state board of education. >> host: has the population increase in texas been broad-based or centered in a certain area? >> it has been pretty brought across the board throughout the state. but it has been concentrated in urban areas. that is important because in those urban areas there have been an increase of a population that has been driven primarily of people of color. we had a story on her new site that said 95% of the growth in the state had been driven by people of color. that is important because the state grew by 4 million people over the last decade. nearly 2 million of those were hispanic growing the population. that is important because that has to be comme

texas. and, while they do not challenge roe, they stand to have a huge impact on a woman's right to choose. also tonight, another american right on the line. voting. you'll hear from former massachusetts governor deval patrick. he is launching a new fight to preserve ballot access, especially for communities of colors. and, without any big wins at home, can the president assure allies abroad that the president can still make good on his promises to curb climate change? welcome to a brand-new hour of "american voices". we begin this hour with a big week ahead for the supreme court. in the morning, justices will begin hearing two challenges to the new abortion law in texas. and while these cases do not put roe v. wade on the line, make no mistake. whatever justices decide had have far-reaching consequences. in each state, and for federal law in general. the cases involve sb-8, passed by texas. that's the texas law was passed. it is the fore, before most women know they are pregnant. and it all

it will range in area from gegia, texas, north dakota all the way south to arizona. huge land areas in this country abortion may be bann, therefore we have to help those women. most importantly in my view, we have got to turn to the politics of this issue. we have returned to the political process and begin to take back the state legislators i electing people who are champions of because, lifting people who will preserve women's rights, and began to think about that is our most important tk. until we control the legislatures of all of those states that will ban abortion, we will not be safe. amy: an interesting headline today where beth robinson has been named as the first out lesbian lgbtq+ activist to the federal bench. i was wondering if you could talk about the significance of that? her groundbreaking work is really as an activist as well as a lawye >> and that is great. i have to commit president biden for a host of a to the federal court that are terrific and which will begin to chip away at the damage that president trump did to the courts. but let's be clear

texas. you have to sue the state official. there is no texas state official to be sued. so the judge is the right defendant here. >> interesting. >> and if that suit doesn't work there's a separate suit where the united states is suing texas directly and complications if the united states is allowed to do that but the u.s. is allowed to sue a state directly in a way that private parties are not. >> interesting. let's zero in on the three justices for a moment. what challenges are they facing? could one be a swing vote in this particular case do you think? >> we saw roberts already once join with the liberal justices with regard to texas on the losing side so roberts raised questions about basically what's at irs issue here. gun groups are upset and voting rights groups. if vigilants try to stop people from voting is problematic. we see that roberts. konecny-barrett is somebody who has very much been on the pro life side and i think she is seen as an anti-abortion justice and likely to side with alito on the court and swing voter is kavanaugh. for those that want to see t

this is about the people of texas and what the people of texas want. they want the big things like jobs, great schools, and making sure everyone can see a doctor. but they also want to see some competence in their government. we had an electricity grid failure here in this state this year though we are the energy capital of north america. millions were without power. hundreds who unfortunately died during that disaster and even afterwards our governor has done nothing to protect this electricity grid. you are seeing electricity and natural gas prices continuing to increase in texas as rate payors pay for the damage done by this governor. people in this state want change and they are focused on what is happening in texas not the rest of the country. >> does that mean you would prefer that he not come based on what you just said? >> it means that i'm focused on texas and on my fellow texans. those are the people most important to me. there is no politician, no other person from outside of this state who can help to change the course of this election for

anywhere in texas, texas is a bigger problem than rhode island. it has no preclusive effect, jones sues the clinic, clinic win, jones can sue. the fees are very heavy. five, they do not apply both ways. the penalty of $10,000 is heavy. you are limited if you are a defendant as to which kinds of defense you can make in respect to their being an undue burden -- there being an undue burden. most undue burden cases speak of the law and state not on a particular defendant. i have six that i caught for you. is there a seventh? >> i have two more. damages are not tied to the amount of any harm which would be the case in a tort suit. the second one is that sb 8 provides for an mentor injunction if there is a successful claimant -- a mandatory injunction if there is a successful claimant. to prevent further harm to the claimant. it is not tied to the harm. >> thank you. >> justice alito? >> suppose this happens, a woman shows up at the clerks office and says i want to file a complaint against the doctor who performed my abortion because it caused me physic

all else equal, if someone in texas were to -- if someone in texas were to present that same request as in alabama, the fact alabama was able to provide it would be a piece of evidence, not necessarily dispositive, but at least something to the extent that alabama has a similar execution protocol and a similar execution room. justice kagan: general, why isn't the inquiry really exactly how holt laid out the inquiry? in other words, you know, in holt, the prison officials came in and said men can put contraband in their beards and we have a security interest in preventing that. and what the court said was, you know what, i mean, that might be, but we're going to look around at other states, see what other practices are. to the extent most other states or many other states can deal with the security interest in the way that also respects religious interests of the inmate, then we're going, essentially, to, you know, say to the state why not you too? and in all of that, there is an appropriate level of deference given to prison officials, but there's also an appropriate level of respect

the texas government will not protect your family. demand that texas owners invest in your rights and protect your investments. texas is not safe for you, your spouse, or your children. until the legislation is overturned, texas isn't safe for anyone. if an athlete were to sort of call you for council and say, you know, i want to go, you know, press an issue, what is the deliverable we want? what will be the one thing you'd have them push back on? >> when athletes are free agents especially, they have options, they need to understand their options. if there's a professional basketball player and they want to consider really displaying their talents for a city but also being a full citizen. what texas has done is suffocate their ability to be full citizens through their redistricting process, through their inability to allow for true history to be taught. i mean, it's really important that in this democracy that we have federal protection for our right to participate and vote. that's been the work of the naacp for 112 years. and it's b

texas wrote the law to evade the protections of roe vs. wade. officials who work for the state of texas aren't enforcing it. it is enforced by private citizens in the country who bring lawsuits, who are allowed to bring lawsuits against anyone who provides a woman an abortion in texas. today the arguments was that this should be thrown out. texas's reasoning was that because of this vigilante clause makes it so that no federal court can be allowed to challenge this. a federal court can block officials who work from a state from doing something, but they can't block private citizens from enforcing something as vigilantes on behalf of the state. the supreme court admitted as far as texas is concerned, this type approach need not be limited to laws banning abortion. any law with this enforcement mechanism would not allowed to be challenged in federal court. i pulled this piece of the elena kagan back and forth with the texas attorney general. it is explanatory to hear the justice become -- she had to back up and say did you say when i think you sai

you said the texas law is not at odds with the roe v. wade merely creating the potential for liability for some abortions is not a ban. mr. attorney general are you saying if someone wants to assist with an abortion and pay the $10000 fine but that's okay? >> i'm not saying it's okay is a violation of state law. i am not responsible, i defend them and we are doing on the legislature has made a choice about how they will regulate abortion and how they will protect the unborn and they've done it here in my job is to defend the lawsuits we done all the way to the supreme court. this case so far is not about the substance of whether roe v. wade will be overturned as whether the federal government and the plaintiffs have standing to sue me the attorney general who has no authority to implement any of this. chris: let me ask you a direct question what do you think of the abortion law in texas? >> i applaud the legislature for doing anything that they can to protect human life. they try to balance the current supreme court provisions and cases
