0 say. >> really? >> yeah. they used to be more polite. i have to say, the court over the last few years has gotten a bit more sharp in their questioning. and even sometimes to each other, and making digs at each other. that's an unfortunate trend. but i think for the most part, you'll hear a respectful discussion of the issues between the advocates and the court. maybe the most important thing to think about is when the justices are asking a question, they're not necessarily wanting to hear the answer from the advocate. they're making a point to one of the other justices. and so you as the ad...

We could turn into statute the constitutional standard of "roe v. wade," the trimester framework, or else "planned parenthood versus casey." but it looks like there's a setup going on here for the supreme court to essentially wipe out both those decisions and then to let the states do whatever they want and i think that's obviously what the gop has been fighting for. and i think with the addition of amy coney barrett they basically have put into place their anti-choice majority and at the same time of course we have this full-blown offensive going on on voting rights across the country, it's n...

It. but substantively what's going on is absolutely outrageous because it's clear that the texas state law is in direct collision with "roe v. wade" and "planned parenthood versus casey."
