US Supreme Court shut down due to E3

Reacting to the Supreme Court’s decision today to uphold the government’s authority to ban aid to designated terrorist groups, civil rights lawyer Ralph Fertig said he would continue his work on behalf of the Kurds. “We will not let it inhibit our commitment to the Kurdish people,'' he said. In this case, Fertig, representing the Humanitarian Law Project, and physician Nagalingam Jeyalingam, among others, wanted to offer assistance to the Kurdish Workers’ Party in Turkey or Tamil Tigers groups and help move them toward more peaceful and legal activities. Ralph Fertig joins Patt with further reaction to the decision.
