Published on Jan 22, 2018 by Democracy Now!

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was at Sundance for the premiere of the new documentary ”RGB” and spoke to Amy Goodman about the her thoughts on the #MeToo movement and the Women’s March. When Ginsburg argued before the Supreme Court the first time in 1972, she quoted Sarah Grimke, the noted abolitionist and advocate of equal rights for men and women, who said, “I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.” Goodman asked if this demand still stands.

“RBG”: New Documentary Celebrates Life of Groundbreaking Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Published on Jan 22, 2018 by Democracy Now!

One of the most talked-about documentaries at this year’s Sundance Film Festival looks at the groundbreaking life of the nearly 85-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 2018 marks her 25th year on the court, and she has no plans to retire. Ginsburg first gained fame in the 1970s when she co-founded the Women’s Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, where she argued six gender discrimination cases before the Supreme Court. In recent years, Ginsburg’s public profile has soared as the court has swerved to the right. Ginsburg often now finds herself on the dissenting side of opinions. We feature excerpts from the new film and speak with its directors, Julie Cohen and Betsy West.

Full Broadcast 22Jan18 Real News with David Knight

A day after FISA was reauthorized despite abuse, “The Memo” was released on the House floor. The timing and the impotent handwringing of #ReleaseTheMemo” are suspicious. And, will the GOP cave on illegal immigration to stop the Schumer “crisis” of paid vacations? Will they enact “Work Control” on American citizens?

Looking at a video response by The Roaming Catholic, who thinks that monasticism and the passing on of knowledge by ancient Christian monks can't be done by secular means or be replaced by secular means.

I think he may have misunderstood the question, but I'll answer it anyway.

Statement from President Donald J. Trump

Issued on: January 22, 2018

I am pleased that Democrats in Congress have come to their senses and are now willing to fund our great military, border patrol, first responders, and insurance for vulnerable children. As I have always said, once the Government is funded, my Administration will work toward solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration. We will make a long-term deal on immigration if, and only if, it is good for our country.

How to Become TripAdvisor’s #1 Fake Restaurant

The Shed at Dulwich was the number one rated restaurant in London, with foodies, celebrities and bloggers trying to get a table. The main obstacle for them, however, was that it didn't exist. Over the course of 8 months VICE's Oobah Butler used an assault of fake reviews to get his 'restaurant' to the hallowed top spot on TripAdvisor.

With his phone perpetually ringing, PR agencies begging to represent it and TV crews pitching shows, Oobah decided he had no choice but to open its doors for one night only. Here is Oobah's journey into a false reality that captured the world's attention.

This Is the “Legal Arm Of The Pro-life Movement” (HBO)

Published on Jan 22, 2018 by VICE News [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZaT_X_mc0BI-djXOlfhqWQ / https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews , https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews/videos ]

Today marks the 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in 1973. But almost 50 years later, access to abortion has become increasingly difficult for the more than half of American women who live in states that don’t support it.

The recent surge in abortion restrictions can largely be attributed to the non-profit organization, Americans United for Life. The AUL calls itself the legal arm of the pro-life movement, and for good reason. Today marks the release of the 13th edition of their “Defending Life” playbook — a collection of pre-written anti-abortion laws the group will give to state legislators. Since 2011, the AUL has been responsible for about a hundred pro-life bills that are now law.

VICE News sat down with Catherine Glenn Foster, AUL president and CEO, to talk about why the group has had so much success over the last decade.
