Don t tell days of the previous democratic presidency to full-throated supportive of sussex same sex marriage complaint. supreme court ruling and same sex marriage, an opinion written by a republican appointed justices, anthony kennedy, was a 54 decision that tracked with public opinion on the issue. pry 2015 was capped off with the first black president lighting up the white house, a house built by slaves, in full support of lgbtq americans like me. that was a symbolic moment that told me, in no uncertain terms that america s full promise is mine, as much as anyone s. the growing dissent of justices scalia and thomas would be relegated to the desperate of history. today, i feel the way many women have been feeling since last year when this court took away their constitutional right to their bodies. you have no right to anything that others haven t decided you can have. if you live in a red state, run by republicans, that could be nothing. to bat. we don t have to wonder what is next. clarence thomas told us. in his concurrence in the dobbs decision, cleanse thomas wrote, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this court sub stand due process presidents, including griswold, lawrence, and obergefell. because any substantive due process decision is demonstrably erroneous. we have a duty to correct the error established in those precedents. clarence thomas wants to correct the error of conception of letting people love who they want to love. of letting people marry who they want to marry. in all of a twist, an orphan dares asked the master for more food at
Saying the real sort of key provision of the heroes act is emergency. if there s an emergency you get to waive or modify. waive to me seems like a very broad word. an oral argument there s a lot of back and forth whether modify, quoted justice scalia saying i suppose the french resolution might have been said to modify the code in france. that would be a stretch of that word. waive is a very broad word. it it s a little bit confounding. finally on this point of president biden kind of failed here, president biden did his job. i m hoping that the american people can look at this and say we know where to put the blame for the failure of this $430 billion of loan forgiveness. it s not the president s fault, it s the court s fault. let s see what the american people think. shaq brewster is following reaction getting the thoughts and words and just overall sentiment from people in
With her. one racial group was given a lower standards and asian-americans were given a higher standard, that is racial discrimination against the 14th amendment. it s a rare time and i think the justices would never admit to this, but public polling sometimes matches up with the right legal decision are. sandra: i wonder what the discussion is in the halls of the supreme court today, garrett. trying to get out of here. and you hear about the surprising friendships, we know ruth bader ginsburg and scalia and checking out the opera. i m sure they know how to work with people with diverse points of view and these are some of the greatest legal minds in the country. sandra: and back to charles payne and his point, let s start from the ground up here, let s improve the education system so that this can be merit-based and all races can thrive. 100%, and integrated into
Really saying is that they want christians to staywant gla their stained glass ghetto and they don t want to get their hands dirty with thend tht reality of politics of governing. yeah, exactly. becaus p e the reality is that no one s perfectly clean. we re all sinners saved by grace. and the realits savey is if youo back and you look at the 2016 primaries, donald trump was not the first choice of a majority of evangelicals. won th but once he won the nomination and you were confronted and m, hillaryclin clinton filling the vacancy left by the untimelytofillin ofn scalia. it was not a hard call. it may have beend difficult in some ways because a lot of the republican address, the pro-life annual march for life and by in persone in a what presidential candidate in american history ever releasedm list of 21 jurists and said, if you elect me president, i will replace scalia with one of the 21? yeah, there are a coupleept . el and kept the promise right and actually followed through. and had we followeow thed the ae
Another republican ethics scandal has hit the supreme court. justice alito under fire for taking this luxury fishing trip with a republican donor who had cases come before the koufrmt in other words, these are exactly the kind of conflicts you re supposed to report and avoid. propublica broke the story. they also revealed judge scalia with an alaskan trip, here making martinis with the glacier. this comes with other reporting that for two decades justice thomas has gotten luxury trips every year and other sweetheart deals from a dallas businessman and hid them. you have justices who are basically taking money and value the money amount that dwarfs most people s salaries and trying to claim it doesn t affect them while also hiding it because apparently they don t
Senator, ed markey, of massachusetts. senator, thank you very much for joining us tonight. what is your case for expanding the court? it s a pretty clear case. in 2016, the republicans allowed the seat of justice scalia to remain vacant for 422 days. denying barack obama his ability to have merrick garland confirmed. saying that it was a sacred principle, that a justice should not be confirmed during election years. then in 2020, just before the election, with justice bit ginsburg passing away, all of the sudden there was no principle. within ten days before the election of 2020, they confirmed amy coney barrett. they stole two justices. they created an absolute illegitimate fog, right-wing supreme court, that is poised to overturn rights. that have been enshrining law
Republicans hijacked the court. the americans have suffered at the hands of it s a legitimate conservative super majority. massachusetts democratic senator ed markey has introduced legislation to expand the supreme court, by adding four seats to create a 13 member supreme court. one for each of the countries courts of appeals. joining us now is democratic senator, ed markey, of massachusetts. senator, thank you very much for joining us tonight. what is your case for expanding the court? it s a pretty clear case. in 2016, the republicans allowed the seat of justice scalia to remain vacant for 422 days. denying barack obama his ability to have merrick garland confirmed. saying that it was a sacred principle, that a justice should not be confirmed during election years. then in 2020, just before the election, with justice bit ginsburg passing away, all of the sudden there was no principle. within ten days before the election of 2020, they confirmed amy coney barrett. they stole two justices. they created an absolute
About scalia before that, what does it say, what does it tell us about the court? i think it tells us that many of the justices just assumed that the american people would forever respect and treasure the court as this neutral institution far above politics, no matter how the justices conducted themselves. we are learning that is quite wrong, especially now that we re seeing reporters treat justices like government employees who are fallible and deserve to be investigated and scrutinized. we re learning they do not conduct themselves like folk who is truly say what the law is would act like. that has led to an understandably plummeting faith in the court and a suspicion that maybe it should not have near absolute power to change the law any way it wants, and to ensure its justices face no kind of political backdrop correctly.
