| Hartmann: Supreme Court Agenda - Secret GPS Tracking & ObamaCare | |
| Uploaded by TheBigPictureRT on 4 Oct 2011 Brian Siebel, Alliance For Justice joins Thom Hartmann. Today marks the start of the Supreme Court's new session - and on the dockett this year are over 50 cases that could have sweeping effects on life in America. From now til' June of next year - the high court is expected to rule on issues concerning police tracking suspects' vehicles with secret GPS devices - affirmative action - far-right immigration laws - to even nudity on television. Of course - the biggest showdown - what some are calling the elephant in the room this session - will be a ruling expected next year on the constitutionality of President Obama's Affordable Care Act. Put all this in front of a backdrop of a 2012 election season - then this could be one of the most significant Supreme Court sessions in the history of this nation. So will our nation's highest court respect precedent - or turn to activism? | |

| Tool Time: Reagan Supported Class Warfare? | |
| Uploaded by TheAlyonaShow on 4 Oct 2011 Time for tonight's tool time award and it goes to the Republican Lawmakers across the board. Last month President Obama released his deficit reduction plan, which included the "Buffet Rule", which involved raising taxes on millionaires and closing tax loopholes. The money raised would be used to create jobs here in the US by investing in infrastructure, and social services. And Republicans were outraged by the mere suggestion, but today we came across a video of Republican hero Reagan supporting the very kind of policy. So tonight Republican Lawmakers earn our tool time award for making him their hero on policies they support today but ignoring his stance on other things. | |

| A War of Voting: Could Redistricting and Voting Law Changes Help Republicans Win in 2012? | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 4 Oct 2011 www.DemocracyNow.org - A new report by the Brennan Center for Justice warns changes to voting laws could strip the voting rights of more than 5 million people -- a higher number than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections. Its findings reveal some 3.2 million people in Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin do not have the state identification they will now need to vote. Others will be kept from the voting booth by tougher restrictions for convicted prisoners and laws requiring proof of U.S. citizenship. The Brennan Center warns | |

| Joseph Stiglitz: Too many regulations stopping democracy, not enough regulations stopping Wall Street | |
| Uploaded by nnnnnnnnnnnnnn on 2 Oct 2011 TRANSCRIPT (Thanks arcas!) Unless we deal with the anti-competitive practices, with the reckless lending and speculative behavior, [...] unless we restore finance? to the function which it should serve, we won't have a robust economy. Madrick (10:45): One last point and then questions: there have been few civil suits by the federal government -- even when they made them, they settled. There may be some hope somebody's lighting a fire under prosecutors and attorneys general. Not all on Wall Street broke the law, but it is hard to believe that some didn't, and it's important, so that all of us can understand, that not all that happened was simply well-meaning gigantic? errors. By prosecuting where there was serious unethical practices, we may provide another deterrent. Unethical practices were a major contributor, in my view, to the crisis have, and the difficult future we face. (END) | |
