fwu future for the court with her on it? what you were saying, as historic as this is, the path forward is one of likely dissent. you can look at some of the cases that the last cases that justice breyer will be overseeing as well. he is going they are going to be in the minority. there has been a right word shift here. that s the lasting impact of the trump administration and the work of mitch mcconnell. look at epa regulations, when you look at the fact that justice jackson did indicate that she s going to recuse herself from the affirmative action case for harvard, the impact when it comes to the cases that are going to be overseen, that trend may not change with this nomination. it also highlights why the court has mattered so much to republicans. they have been able to produce this. i want to play this bit from senator john cornyn talking specifically about one of the
john: fox news alert, go to the white house where press secretary jen psaki has just begun taking questions at the daily briefing. let s listen in. part of the close consultation and coordination with our trans atlantic allies and partners and response to the shared concerns over russia s military build-up on ukraine s borders. during that conversation we expect they will discuss diplomacy, and readout for you afterward and the discussion of the pending sanctions or discussion of that, we would expect to be part of that as well. in terms of the impact, i don t have anything more to read out for you on that front. secondly, the supreme court, should race be a factor in college admissions. i think this is in relation, i would expect to the announcement by the supreme court about the decision to take up the affirmative action case this morning. we are not going to comment on
she had already been serving as a district on the district court. and what we know about next term is that one of the biggest cases they re going to hear is an affirmative action case. so it s true that here we ll see a liberal replacing a liberal, but the new nominee is likely to be much younger. maybe more liberal than breyer. and will change the inner dynamics of the court. breyer will remain for the rest of this term which is right now considering some of the biggest issues of the day considering roe v. wade. he ll be there when that s decided some time in july. obviously there are still some six months left in the term as jessica pointed out. and so this is an early announcement. why do you think he made this announcement so early, ariane? it s interesting because a lot of progressives had been pressuring him last term to step
are actually in favor of affirmative action programs. leading the charge in these cases ed bloom. let me tell you about this guy. he was behind the supreme court case that gutted provisions of the voting rights act and now he s using asian americans in an attempt to tamp down more access for people of color. joining me now, dr. hill son, professor of counselling at howard university and president and executive director for advancing justice. so happy to have you both here. john, i want to start off with you. this guy ed bloom, he is heading the students for fair admissions. they re suing over the affirmative action case. he is really just positioning asian american people against other people of color. he s got an ugly history in this kind of right-wing extremism. how exactly is this guy in a position to represent api
with roe v. wade this spring. the affirmative action case moving forward. i think what is needed is somebody on the liberal ring who can join the other two. and the forceful voices of dissent. that is going to be the realistic goal going forward. they do not have enough to make a majority. it is unlikely that they will be able to persuade their conservative colleagues to join them. they will be in dissent. and the question is, can they write dissent for the ages. the kind of the sense that eventually in time, become majority opinions. professor goodwin, if you could have a few minutes with the president, what would you tell him about what you would hope for in this choice? let s be clear. in his choice, we have the potential to have a justice on the court, who is familiar with the african american community. deeply, intimately, who is committed to justice. who has equal temperament.
