The supreme court, and now we don t know where that s going, particularly if it tilts one more seat, and unlike the last at least eight years, the last decade, when we are dealing with police cases or discrimination cases, we can no longer say we re going to the justice department, which is your point. because we ve all but been told the door is closed for civil rights and discrimination and gender equality and lgbtq rights in this department of justice. and you have to recalibrate your resistance because the federal government is no longer your way to try and balance states that do things that are in many ways unfair in our judgment? that s right. and the court historically has been a form of last resort for minority communities. the supreme court is where we got brown versus board of education, and a place where
Been through our court system, because sometimes the government has failed us. sometimes our state legislatures pass laws denying us our civil rights. traditionally, we ve turned to the courts for justice. now we have a court tilting so sharply right and the department of justice headed up by someone by jeff sessions. that will have tremendous implications for the future. and no matter the agenda, most americans don t support it. most americans aren t on board with the mass deportation strategy. most americans didn t vote for him, but they ll be shaping our justice systems. that s what you re alluding to in terms of our fear needing to mobilize those that share that view, is because we for the first time in a long time, and some of us first time in our li, where you re worried about where the courts are going to go, because they ll go up through the appeals courts to
We ve seen transformative change when it comes to civil rights. we have cases pending across the country that may eventually come before the supreme court. at the end of the day, what s most important is that we push to hold public officials accountable like the attorney general, and that we bring that same pressure to bear on the u.s. supreme court as well to fairly carry out the obligation to ensure equal justice under law for all. thank you very much, christian clarke and raul rayus. thank you. coming up, we ll explain how this year s white house easter egg roll is a day late and several muppets short. stay with us.
Struggles with the great lies of hitler, and the axis powers and that second world war, and after that the great struggle with civil rights and the great conflict in the nation with our wars, vietnam. we ve been through a lot. and i must say that as triumphant as we have been on so many levels, i assumed by the time i got this far, america would be in a much happier place. but to now find used in midst of more conflict than we deserve, more conflict than both of us thought would be here today now, this way, it puzzles me. we ve been through a lot as a nation. the integration movement did a lot to turn this country around.
The, the sesons justice department has been racking up almost weekly successes in its attempt to roll back the civil rights advances of the last eight years, the if not the last 50 years. joining me now is christian clark, president and executive director of the lawyer s association for civil rights, and msnbc contributor and attorney rua s rais. you work with me, and part of our fear, part of our contention and even in our meeting with attorney general sessions is that we re not talking about just the obama years. they are striking at things that will, in many ways turn back
Fairly interpreting and applying the constitution or fairly interpreting and applying federal civil rights laws. when you don t have the justice department to turn to, or a supreme court that is not fully staffed and prepared to fairly carrie out civil rights laws and hear the cases that come before it, it presents cause for concern. raul? well, to lay i out in blunt rms, what s crning to me about gorsuch more than anything else, neil gorsuch is 49 years old. anyone watching this right now, if they have children, expect that over the life of their children, he will be on the supreme court, and the reason it s especially troubling, not only for all the reasons our other guests laid out, but look throughout history. for people of color, lgbt people, women, anyone who has been a minority in america, the traditional path to justice has
