The case of [Obasanjo v. Morrison] postulated a massive outbreak of the "Simian" influenza in 2020. With the vaccine in short supply, Congress passed a law that gave priority to administer the vaccine to health care workers, pregnant women, and children without making any reference to citizenship. The Arizona state legislature interpreted the law to grant the state authority to impose a citizenship based priority for the vaccine. Isoke Obasanjo was an immigrant who lawfully resided in the U.S. for two years and was recently granted asylum. At two months pregnant she went to a clinic in Tucson to get vaccinated but was turned away because she was not a U.S. citizen. Pepperdine University Dean Kenneth Starr represented Ms. Obasanjo and Georgetown Law Professor Nina Pillard represented the state of Arizona. "A Moot Court: Rationing Health Care" was a program of the fourth annual Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution held by the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. It took place on Saturday, February 27, 2010, at 1:00 p.m. in the Ceremonial Courtroom of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/292300-2 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/292300-2 Sat, 03 Apr 2010 23:05:23 GMT A moot court examined the possible debate over exactly who qualifies for racial preferences as America becomes increasingly multiracial. Two law professors, Charles Ogletree and Kathleen Sullivan, argued a case before a panel of judges. The case takes place in 2013 with the University of Kentucky using DNA as a factor in determining race. Those results along with other criteria determine admittance to the school. The plaintiff is a young African-American man who was denied admittance because his DNA test says he's mostly European even though his appearance, upbringing, and experience is that of a black person. "Debating the Future of Race" was a program of the Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution at the National Constitution Center. It was held in the Ceremonial Courtroom of the U.S. Courthouse. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/202290-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/202290-1 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 23:01:29 GMT Moderated by Mr. Schieffer the panelists talked about how presidents use power.
