could not be left up to the states? yeah, so dalia exactly right, it s the same family and same basic underlying constitutional protections, and conservatives of derided, calling it a penumbra not, the right to privacy not being in the constitution, that s at the supreme court hearings are all around. i d also say it endangers game, marriage it s obviously been a target of the conservatives. if they can overrule this case, roe v. wade. which is a most super precedent case ever, it s the case that three republican justices in 1992, kennedy, o connor and souter said, that s the case that social expectations have crystallized around roe v. wade, so even if you re wrong you can t overrule, it because it would damage the courts legitimacy, they did it here. so, if we can do it, here unfortunately they can do it anywhere, and that is the threat tonight. neil kept, yale social
to appeal to people, respecting them for their work. and let s consider what this republican controlled court does not respect, they do not respect the in effect republican controlled court the wrote roe v. wade, it was a 72 decision 49 years ago, and five of the deciding justices in favor of roe v. wade, where republican appointed supreme court justices. in the last week or so, there s been a very intense discussion especially in the world of twitter about how much the democratic party has moved to the left in recent years or how much the republican party has moved to the right, there is no better demonstration about the extreme direction towards the right that the republican party is moved, when you look at the five republican appointed justices in 1973, who voted for roe v. wade in a total of seven justices. and then you see these five tonight, possibly six in the end put five as of tonight, voting to repeal it completely. and, insulting as much as they
pointed by presidents who didn t win the popular vote, and one case by president who had already been impeached. it doesn t matter, because once you ve got power, you can use it to wreck everything, because stare decisis doesn t exist, and whatever we d say has to go, goes and we have the power to do, it and how you gonna respond? we it s a challenge on the legitimacy and credibility claims of the court, that implies that battle is over. that they re no longer trying to appeal to people, respecting them for their work. and let s consider what this republican controlled court does not respect, they do not respect the in effect republican controlled court the wrote roe v. wade, it was a 72 decision 49 years ago, and five of the deciding justices in favor of roe v. wade, where republican appointed supreme court justices.
struggle for democrats is to link voting to the supreme court. the supreme court as a voting issue for president. the supreme court as a voting issue for the senate, which of course, confirms supreme court justices. if this doesn t clarify that for voters, nothing will. i understand what you re saying, lawrence, and i agree. it is a challenge. but the fact of the matter the five justices of the supreme court will put their like mitch mcconnell, and not only mitch mcconnell, the republican party. three of these justices put on by donald trump who pledged overturn roe v. wade. , and all the state laws we re seeing, when we re talking about the horrific things happening in texas. these happens because of republican governors and republican legislatures. that, to me, is all we need to motivate voters and november because there is one consistent
not see this in isolation there is a playbook that runs thickly between racial oppression in the united states and that baked into law. let s remember that states rights laws that s the jim crow playbook. and what we re about to see is the jane crow playbook, which is going to be the companion to the jim crow playbook. we ve seen that revisited through voter suppression, and now we see quite explicitly is that this court under its current formation is ready to yank the rug out from underneath what you ve described as a 49 year protection that was not a close decision a 7 to 2 opinion with five of those justices been republican appointed, and justice black man who wrote the opinion row being placed on the court by richard nixon. so what we see is completely antithetical to republican history of prescott bush being
