That the american public confidence in the supreme court, or its impartiality is declining, and declining pretty rapidly over the last couple of years. >> the court has shown itself to be the opposite of impartial. it has become recently a rather rogue entity, a politicized entity. that is, of course, if you look at many of the people there, they are highly partisan, and that is part of weakening democracy where you put aside institutions. i keep thinking, once a week i think of this fact the ju...

With folks, right? that will never happen. but what kind of steps could the court potentially institute, that would maybe bring a little bit more semblance of impartiality, more stringent ethical guide rails? what will be the suggestion on how you can make the court, performance, to prevent whats teams of a conflict of interest or at least damage from stuff like this happening? >> you know, i was struck by your earlier interview about the justice department and, the decision to outsource the inv...
