that s the part that, for me, i just say, let s do something now. let s be united and do something. yeah. i understand. i want to play for you something that senator chuck schumer said about this, about people showing up outside the homes of public officials, basically, he was saying it comes with the territory. so, listen to this. there s protests three, four times a week outside my house. that s the american way to peacefully protest is okay. and so, do you agree that peacefully protesting outside of a judges , say, or a supreme court justice s home is okay, or you re uncomfortable? listen, i respect senator schumer so much. i have a lot of respect for all members of congress. the fact of the matter is, judges are in an unique situation. we re on the front line protecting democracy every single day. the numbers have shown, this is not hyperbole, we are literally taking the bullets to protect democracy and the rule of law. my son paid for it with his life. judge left
woman s lacrosse team from a historically black college said it was racially profiled during a traffic stop in georgia. the case now capturing the attention of capitol hill. welcome to the lead i m jake taper. we start with politics lead as what is soon to be a bipartisan rejection of the bill aimed at preserving abortion rights nationwide. the senate is voting on the women s health protection act. but the bill was widely con condemned by republicans, even who support abortion rights and democratic senator joe manchin, because the three say it went further than codifying roe v. wade. it would eliminate any states preexisting restrictions on abortion. senator manchin explained his no vote to cnn earlier today. the bill we have today to vote on, i respect people who support, but make no mistake, it is roe v. wade codification. it s an expansion. it wipes 500 state laws off the books. it expands abortion. and with that, that s not what we are to do. democratic leaders admi
