  Speaker 1: Taking Stock with Kathleen on Bluebird Radio. Evenly divided. That's

  Speaker 1: what the U. S. Supreme Court is over President Barack
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Obama's plan to shield as many as four million unauthorized
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: immigrants from deportation. This is a deadlock. The effectively kills
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the initiative for the rest of the president presidency. Joining
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: us now our own legal expert, June grass So. She's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the creator and host of Bloomberg Law, which you can
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: hear weekdays at four thirty pm Wall Street Time on
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio. Tune Welcome to show. It's a treat to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: have you here. To be here, Kathleen and pim So
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the decision tell us about it, Well, there's not much
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to say about the decision itself, because all the nation
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: knows is one simple sentence that the court was unable
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to come to a conclusion. They were divided four to four.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And what that means is that the lower court decision.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: This means that a decision of one judge in Texas
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and three judges on the appellate court of the Fifth Circuit,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: which is the most conservative circuit almost you can say,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: or most conservative circuit in the country, have basically decided
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: immigration for President Obama's term. Because this is the end
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of his immigration initiatives. What does this due to his
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: pledge for a comprehensive immigration overhaul, Well, he can't. He
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: can't do it. He absolutely can't do it. He has
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: six months left, he can't have any more tries and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: executive action. Because that's what struck that's why this was
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: struck down. The court below said that he didn't have
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the authority to do what he did, and also he
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: has a Congress that is not going to help him out.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So basically, and you could see in his press conference
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: today that he was disappointed, he was frustrated, He also
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: mentioned why we need a ninth justice here, we need
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to appoint a ninth justice. But it's really not up
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to him anymore. And I think that he was looking
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: at this as something to mark his his presidency. Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that's all well and good, but you know what, they're
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: all laws. And I guess that's why the where I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: got the Supreme Court, because there's so much great area
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the present in fact saying this program just a broader
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: exercise of my accepted power to set priority priority and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: who should be deported. Other people saying are other people
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in Congress probably Republicans, or that he was offering amnesty
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to people who broke the law to and to ermine
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in the country. When you're as a legal expert, how
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: does the law look to you? Miss Grosso? To me,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: if this would fit within an executive action, what he
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was doing was for three years allowing people whose who
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: are the parents of either citizens or Green card holders
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to get work visas for three years. That's that's all
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it was. To me either, that seems like it's within
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the executive function. Another thing is the Supreme Court could
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: have found ways around this. For example, there was a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: question of are these states like Texas really being injured
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: by this. They said, well, we have to pay for
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: driver's license. Is that enough of an impact for them
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to go before the Supreme Court? And the ruling was
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: so broad for one judge to rule for the entire country.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That is a broad rule. You don't see that very often.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: June a win for affirmative action. Rustic was upholding race
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: conscious admissions. Big surprise there. That's a big surprise. And
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the reason it's a surprise is because Justice Kennedy, who
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: his entire career has been voting against affirmative action, turned
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and decided to vote for affirmative action. That's why he
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: wrote the majority opinion, because he was the swing vote there,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and you saw a dissent from Justice Alito of fifty
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: pages that was scathing and he very disappointed in the majority,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: saying what happened to our law here? But the point
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is too that the University of Texas program is enough
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of a hybrid and there's enough going on there that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Justice Kennedy could see his way clear for that. But
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that was huge surprise. So what does that mean in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: real terms? Now? If I didn't get accepted, can I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the woman who didn't get accepted has already been in
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: through a school at another school. This is the second
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: time it's been up there. It's very it's a very
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: confusing area because it's very fact specific, so we don't
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: have a guideline for what other schools can do as
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: far as affirmative action is concerned. But if they have
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: an open program like this for example, Texas program, they
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: automatically take the top ten percent of all the high
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: schools in the states, So that is a way of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: showing that they're they're not They only consider race in
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: certain circumstances, in certain instances, so that was open enough
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: for the court. And you have to really look at
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: each case individually, which is why affirmative action is at
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the courts over and over and over again. Drunk driving
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: drunk driving basically, and it was three consolidated cases, so
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: pretty complicated. The bottom line is that police need a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: warrant if they want you to take a test a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: blood test for alcohol for drunk driving, and that entails,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know, taking you to another place a hospital, So
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the justice is thought that was intrusive and also taking
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: your blood, whereas if they want you to take a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: breathalyzer test, that's something they can do without a warrant,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: because there was a lot of talk about how that's
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: just blowing into a breathalyzer. Not a big deal, Thank
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you very much. Always a big deal when you join us. Oh,
• 7:21
