out of the bill but what he s slipping into the bill. the first time, again, ali, in 200 some odd years we will codify that voter id, which started as that s dangerous language. especially since in north carolina, we just won on a voter id case in the courts, where the court said that it was being used to suppress the vote. secondly, i m deeply concerned he s allowed them to split these things. the democrats should have started this messaging. they should have had the faces and voices of people who would be impacted. we tried to say this to the president, the white house, and for some reason they didn t get it. they should have never let voting rights just be a black issue and separate it out from the economic issue. they should have had people whose lives were being impacted, both the people whose lives will be impacted by the build back better plan, the women, the
can get anything done. no administration in my memory has gotten less done this far in. they have not passed one significant piece of legislation. not one. and the trip to europe was an unmitigated disaster. neil gorsuch is pretty significant. you haven t put putting him on the supreme court is pretty significant. you had to change the rules of the united states senate to do that, dallas. dallas one piece of legislation. brad, i want to get dallas on the record before we get going here. your state, north carolina, center of this battle over voting rights. i want to ask you about it. the supreme court ruled last week that north carolina relied too heavily on race and redistricting earlier in the month. the court said it d not consider restating a voter id law. is your party still planning to put these things in place despite the consistent losses in the courts? well, two things, and it s technical but important to remember. the court did not rule on the merits of our
troub s refusal to resign is unacceptable. the director for the fort bend county democratic party in texas. she doesn t deny she made the comments. she s unapologetic. what purpose does an serve into her comments? you know, it s stage dressing to protect all the racists that are all around her. i think everyone can look at this situation and see is connie troub needs to be out on her butt immediately. 13,000 people in lamark deserve better than connie troub. texas deserves better than a gop that can t even name historic legislation that s seeking to correct the structural racism that people like connie troub represent. yeah. well, to twist jack nicholson, you can t take the troub. what actions should the justice department take against her and bring some sense of balance to the situation? i think the doj is going to find here, like they re finding in our voter id case, the clear
supreme court, chris, because we might have had different decisions. yes, they re wrong, and in fact, you know, we have now seen judge prosner come back and say maybe i was wrong in that case, but the other pieces that when you look at the pennsylvania voter id case, which advancement project and aclu brought in state court, there s a really great language about how the constitution has a right to vote. and even though that was state law, it should apply in federal instances, too. that our right to vote should not be impeded by these barriers, and fake barriers, because in fact, in pennsylvania, and in other states, we have pointed out that in fact there is no voter fraud. and that instead, this really is about manipulation of the vote in order to control outcomes. the conservatives that i read when they re writing about this, there s some who i just can t take seriously as good faith because they re talking about voter fraud and all this nonsense, but if you put that aside, there s
national action network and naacp and others, is to get the real urgency out, like we did in 2012, that will bring the vote out. now, you had a lot of work that was underground that mobilized a lot of that vote because people felt their rights were violated. you have to do that again. now, what you don t have is president obama on the ballot. so that means we re going to have to dig in deeper, organize harder, which i think is why it was important that national action network convention this week, which doesn t end until tomorrow, heard from the attorney general, heard from the president, so they will understand how serious this is, and the president went all in to use your term, today, to explain how important it is by coming himself and really laying out this case. you said before that you think the effort is failing, and i would agree in terms of what we have seen electorally, but if you look at the supreme court s decision, at the states moving ahead with things that had been
