,atters of the constitution and the federal hay be as statute only applies in federal court. The federal habeas corpus can grant if relief is warranted. Says pleasee acknowledge we are holding a prisoner in contradiction of federal law that used to do nothing about it, then the answer is federal habeas corpus . Theres not a second answer the state can be required under the supremacy clause under its own procedures to enforce the federal law . If i were to take that position, im not sure what would support me. Martinez versus ryan suggested there are advantages to citing the federal hay be us statute the hay be a rather than what the court called a freestanding constitutional plan. A major advantage here is if you say the state courts are bound by the constitution, when it would go to federal hay be us, there would be a very efrin shall review. If you say the redress question in state court is a matter of when the issue goes to federal hay be us, it would not apply because the state cou
He had been facing a floor vote of whether he should stay on as speaker. He discusses reasons for resigning at a news conference. My oh, myehner what a wonderful day i used to sing that on my way to work in the morning. Less costly, more accountable government. Over the last five years, our majority has advanced conservative reforms that will help our children and their children. Were now on track to cut Government Spending by 2. 1 trillion over the next 10 years. We made the first real entitlement reform in nearly two decades. And we protected 99 of the American People from an increase in our taxes. Weve done all this with a democrat in the white house. So im proud of what weve accomplished. But more than anything, my first job is as speaker is to protect the institution. A lot of you know now know that my plan was to step down at the end of last year. I decided in november of 2010 that when i was elected speaker that serving two terms would have been plenty. And but in june of last y
Defensive. I am curious whether why do you think that is . Clicks i think it is a problem. Testified, it was just so start. It is an arcane subject. It is somehow, i dont think it just reflects the polarization people refer to all the time. It could be there are lots of possibilities. Some people say the parties have somewhat different philosophies about government interventions in power so one party so generally, less interventionist. Another is more interventionist . There are more political reasons. Good. T think it is people mean well, trying to be constructive. Reason, it has gotten very partisan. Why . Issues we all want to have a stronger economy, a stable economy. There is nothing partisan about it. To theuld go way back Jennings Bryan type of partisanship. I dont think it is that you are that it isct polarized politically understands why it is a bad idea, in part because the fed has to carry that out. That would ultimately politicize the process, reduce the credibility, and ma
The washington journal continues. Host paul butler. Law professor, former prosecutor, as somebody who has been arrested, what is your take on ferguson . Guest im tired of this happening over and over again. It is not just ferguson. It is staten island. It is that 51yearold grandmother who was beaten by the cops. Hit her 10 times. All of these unarmed africanamericans being brutalized by police. I think it is important to have a conversation about race and to put it in a larger context, in which african lives just dont seem to be valued. Host that is larger context . Guest it is not just criminal justice. It is civil justice. It is not just africanamericans. It is people of color. It is important to talk about race. White americans who are disenfranchised. The Lgbt Community has issues with the Justice System. But it is important to realize that africanamericans it is the classic american dilemma. There was a lot of hope when barack obama was elected. I dont think anyone thought that it
Me to vote no and to stay in the union. Mr. Darling has been very keen to stress that you should not be relying on oil, but you took our country, scotland, into an illegal war for oil, and scottish men died for that. Yes . S, with the glasses, i think the fundamental difference is the yes campaign scotland, future of and they are fighting passionately for their jobs. I would let you pick it up, first of all. With respect to the lady who just spoke, i will not win you over, because i think you are fairly much on the other side. We need to make the decision, that is why it is important that we make the right decision on september 18. There, i amleman passionate about the case because of the jobs, the opportunities, as well as the security that comes with being part of the union. This i could address gentlemans question about how do we sustain that engagement, i think one possibility for that as a yes vote is the formation of a constitution for an independent scotland. You both very much,
