New york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is the daily social distancing show with trevor noah. Trevor right now, the only news america is talking about is the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Aka the notorious r. B. G. As im sure you know, the Iconic Supreme Court justice died over the weekend at the age of 87. A little bit later on in the show, we will talk about her life and legacy. But first we have to start with the allout war brewing over her reblame it because you may remember that when Justice Antonin Scalia died nine months before the 2016 election and president obama tried to replace him with merrick garland, Mitch Mcconnell and the g. O. P. Blocked it, and their reasoning was a Supreme Court vacancy so close to an election should be held for the next president so that the people can decide. Well, you might want to s. A. T. Down for this one because, guess what theyre saying now . President donald trump and his republican allies are forging full speed ahead to n
To the stories that you have told, including the story of veronicas family. Very moving. If i were a justice, the commitment i would make to you and to all people affected by follows is that i would the law as you enacted it, and i have no agenda. I would not be coming in with any agenda. I would do equal justice under the law for all, and not try to force or disrupt in any way the quality choices that you and your colleagues have adopted. Sen. Hirono so are you saying that the impact of the Affordable Care act on the millions of people who rely upon it, that you would deem to be policy considerations that we should address . Sen. Hirono senator, i think that you choose the law and you have structured the Affordable Care act. You set the policies.

We talked about it last night. What is going to happen after that . I dont know. Mr. Meadows . Thank, chairman. , you can take a bit of a breather on your return to the committee. What i want to do is go through with the people who are watching the conversation that you and i had when we spoke on the telephone. You were kind enough to hear out a presentation that i made and i intend to have some questions in that area. It does not make sense if i have not laid the predicate particularly for our viewers who are watching this. I guess the reason i want to do this is because people who are watching this need to understand that this small hearing room and the little tv box you are looking at, the little screen you are looking at are a little bit like the frame of a puppet theater. If you only look at what is going on in the puppet theater, you are not going to understand the whole story, you are not going to understand the real dynamic of what is going on here. You are certainly not going
Bader ginsburg who died friday night. She died on the eve of the jewish new year, the first jewish woman on the Supreme Court and a very interesting thing about individuals who die right before the new year. They say they suggest very righteous people die at the very end of the year because they were needed until the very end. Under jewish tradition those who die on the new year holiday, a title given to the righteous and saintly. Certainly Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg was entitled to this honor, being righteous and saintly. At her confirmation hearing she talked about her immigrant experience was her father was a jewish immigrant, her mother was a secondgeneration american, she talked about American Values and then she said what has happened over me could only happen in america and then she spent her entire career protecting those values that make america a great nation it is in the reason people come here in order to reach their full potential. It guided her well in her public service
