Midterms. a very good point. harry, you said that the liberal groups will move a tad to the left. but still, the replacement of wire leaves the court with a big conservative majority. it s still 63. should this white house and the democrats still be working to expand and rebalanced the court? this is something stephen breyer opposes, because roe v. wade looks like it is gone. there will be more decisions on gun control etc. just replacing breyer isn t enough, in terms of the long term future of the court. nowhere near. it s a young court and they will be holding sway for decades. in addition, as alexi mentioned, they took a big affirmative action case that is probably a death nail for affirmative action in universities, something breyer was a big fighter for. he was very fiery about it. it s a really big question. as you say, brian was opposed ....
This is something stephen breyer opposes, because roe v. wade looks like it is gone. there will be more decisions on gun control etc. just replacing breyer isn t enough, in terms of the long term future of the court. nowhere near. it s a young court and they will be holding sway for decades. in addition, as alexi mentioned, they took a big affirmative action case that is probably a death nail for affirmative action in universities, something breyer was a big fighter for. he was very fiery about it. it s a really big question. as you say, brian was opposed to it. but the bottom line, mehdi, is that it won t happen. whether it should, these concerns on one hand and then the immediate imbalance on the court that is going to last for a few decades, i don t think that the proposals will have purchase. and that s the main point. breyer, as you say, is going to go down as an institutionalist. ....

Now holding score, holding sway in the united states. think that s the most important thing that we can do is win elections in november, so that we can reform i.c.e., so that we can reform the epa, so that we can change this culture of corruption that has inspected the federal government and it s infected the federal government because its leadership in the form of this president is ethically void. final question, does the president s rhetoric embolden or strengthen racists and white supremacists here at home and in europe? well, i mean, we ve seen you look at the hate crime statistics that the fbi produces every year, there s been a significant increase in hate crimes across virtually every category for which they collect data. i don t think that s a quince de coincidence. we have to have zero tolerance ....
