Understandable that people would want that corrected. We should for a variety of reasons, not least of which is future elections. What the president is saying, does it interfere with the peaceful transfer of power, not just among our leaders, but just among regular americans . Sen. Romney i think there will be a peaceful transfer of power when there is a change in leadership in january. Until then, i think the Transition Team will work with the trump leadership. I think that will go smoothly. We are a nation of laws. We allow for recounts. Regularities and these things go to the courts and the courts make a fair and impartial decision. That is essential for our nation to have confidence in our institutions and for nations around the world to recognize democracy works. Saying something other than that would only be to cheer for the chinese and russians and those who want to bring down freedom and democracy. So pursue every legal avenue, and that is what the president will do, but it is
What we were going through then as comparison to whats happening now and also some of the lessons that were learned. Lets start with the court itself in 2000. The Rehnquist Court. Nine members of the court and seven of them have been appointed by republican president s. But how do they align ideologically . David its sort of a 54 conservative court. Rehnquist was a leader. Justice scalia was a prominent figure. It leans right. There were several moderate republicans. John stephens, david souter and Ruth Ginsburg and stephen breyer, four on the left. So it leaned conservative. But it was also an interesting you know, the court the court is never 100 predictable. I found that Justice Kennedy and Justice Oconnor were middle of the road conservatives. And you could not predict them in all sorts of cases. Susan would you say a bit more about the chief Justice William rehnquist and his approach to leading the court . David well, he had, you know, he had been on the court for a lot of years b

You as the enemy . Do you think joe biden sees you that way . Rep. Ocasiocortez i do not believe joe biden sees me that way. And i think that is one of the reasons he won election. There is a marked difference between 2020 and 2016 in how the Democratic Party was able to unify, to joe bidens credit, before the election and get everyone on the same page to make sure we vote donald trump out of office.
