case on the west coast were an antiabortion group took videos of abortion providers talking about selling baby parts. nobody contests those videos are real. the judge has put a gag order on this, i won t allow those videos to be shown. we can show them on the show, they can be disseminated. even though they are real. it seems an obvious violation of the first amendment. and yet, nobody says anything about it because the entire media is on his side. when it comes to abortion, the rules don t apply. the first amendment doesn t apply when it comes to discussion, planned parenthood, which is been caught in this, planned parenthood is selling you don t get the same protections if you are pro-life that she would otherwise get. in this case, imagine if the press had gotten a video of the meeting donald trump, jr., had with russia. do you think a judge would preempt and prevent debt video from being released? know. all the media will be saying the people have a right to know

you re asking about how soon you. melissa: how soon might we see him make an impact on some hot button cases? no problem. you need to jump in there, feel free especially if we get some sound there, we actually can hear them. though it doesn t appear that that will be the case here. let me just tell you that i think if you with a look at the docket, it s a pretty fair bet that his role on the high court will certainly be felt pretty soon, especially when you consider some of the major cases that are coming. were talking about religious liberty, same-sex marriage cases, public employee union cases as well as a number of hot button issues. when you look at the totality of the cases that are coming down the line from the high court, say nothing of the travel ban for example, it is a good impact that will be felt pretty quickly. obviously today, first things first, it is a welcome for the newest justice, a great day obviously for his family and indeed some would argue for the country.
but try to give a little bit to reach a consensus. so we will wait and see. melissa: even with just the daily show stuff that s been up there in the media, you ve seen it on every news fan and they ve had pictures of all the women. i know it s not supposed to, but you would think that it would have an impact on the jurors before they even show up. the jurors said they knew about all of these other accusers. that s inevitable. everyone knew about it. but only the accuser in this case and one other woman were allowed to testify about their experiences with him. here s what i think may have happened. andrea, who is the accuser, had to admit on the witness stand that after the alleged sexual assault, she continued to see bill cosby. there may be some jurors who said wait a minute, that doesn t seem like a real victim who continues to have contact with the man who victimized her.
we just had to take a commitment to civility. we signed a letter, we agreed to work with each other in the freshman class. we are cosponsoring bills, we are doing resolutions together, we are working together. i think it was our statement as a freshman class to recognize the level of the rhetoric that was unacceptable and understanding that yes, we disagree on policy, we should have debate, it s the american way. but the first amendment doesn t include violence not something that we try to stand for. tonight luckily i m going to be going to the game, that they re going to still have it and i m going to be joining with brad schneider from the suburbs of chicago, a democrat who, we both have sons who are serving and are deployed right on the military. so we are joining together and we hope that everybody continues to do that and that our freshman class was at the example and the tone for the future not something that i m really proud of with our class on both sides. we forged ahead and w
