outside the supreme court our own kevin corke is with us. what is going on? it s interesting. if you had been here earlier in the day you would ve seen a bear of a different crowd, we are talking about primarily female, mostly female, mostly young, very peaceful. but as is often the case in circumstances like this, as the day goes on the crowd begins to change just a bit. more young men show up, more people in tactical gear and masks and dark glasses, shades and that sort of thing. a change in tone of what you are seeing. but thus far all day long, it has been peaceful. and we expect it to stay that way, hopefully, because there is a rather large law enforcement presence along the fence line, at least about 60 that we ve seen. uniformed officers. there are more officers within the crowd. we are hoping for the best but so far we have seen a lot of people, passion, some prayer and mostly peaceful protesting. we will keep an eye on it but back to you. sean: any word on ....
President trump on this decision. Welcome to the program. Glad to have you. Great to be here. Sean you and a lot of prominent judicial scholars were asked to look for certain candidates that fit this meaning of a constitutionalist, and originalist. Maybe some americans are hearing this term for the first time. How would you best define those terms and differentiate a regionalism from Judicial Activism . First of all, the way to think about it is a judge has a deep sense of fairness and a sense of impartiality. When he is grounded in text and Original Meaning Of The Constitution, she is putting the text and the original meeting ahead of any political predisposition he may have. Thats the way a judge cases. Fairly and partially without regard to your own predispositions or prejudices. Sean a judicial activist assembly of a liberal put a liberal would wa ....
I know they are implying that, they are saying it even but it does not. instead, individual voters, you will now decide abortion law at the state level per the tenth amendment of our constitution. remember, powers that are not enumerated in the constitution like the right to keep and bear arms are reserved for the states. in liberal states there will be few if any restrictions on abortions, in some case until birth. some states will continue to allow abortion on some level per there might be some restrictions in some states and different ones in different states. here is the second fact about this really come abortion was never enshrined in the u.s. constitution as a right and it was never codified in law. instead it became the status quo for 50 years because of activist judges pretending they were the legislative branch of government. coequal branches, they are not sometimes. as gregg jarrett rightly pointed out in a great column on ....
Trump and steve bannon, they ll fight this in court. all of this takes time. basically run out the clock, so to speak. steve bannon may not be the largest target in all the committee interests. you had congressman adam schiff say this. take a listen. we are very uniform about that we will go to the whoever has the information we need. no one is off the table. including donald trump himself? no one is off the table. that s a pretty bold statement. would it be constitutional for a house select committee subpoena a former president? is there any precedent for something like that? is the law settled on that. so like so many moments in the trump administration now the aftermath of the trump administration you ll hear people say things like we ve never encountered this before or it s not settled, but i think the weight of authority, the way our constitution is structured and the fact we do have a system of checks and balances, of coequal branches, we have congress investigating w ....
For invoking the separation of power in our system of checks and balances. that would punish, essentially, exercising your own constitutional authority under article one, two and three of the constitution. we have a three-part system of government, equal, coequal branches, separate branches in the courts and the umpires. mark: what i am hearing today from these committees and these professors is we don t have cold equal branches, we want trump out so we have one all-powerful branch, tomorrow maybe we will have equal branches of government, but the fact that ththe president asserts his rigs and he s not the first to do this, he s not defying a court order, he s defying a request, a demand by another branch that saying i m in a do this out with you and they re saying in peach of offense, there s another ....
