conservative super majority. today two more big rules. one tieing the biden administration s hands in the climate change fight. the other clearing the way for the biden white house to end a controversial pandemic era trump administration border policy. those decisions closed a turn d make block buster changes to american law and to american life, including new limits on how states can regulate guns and, of course, the end of the roe v. wade decision that guaranteed federal abortion rights. president biden ending a big overseas trip earlier today called the role reversal destabilizing and, quote, outrageous. he said democrats should make an exception to the filibuster and pass a new federal law. let s get to the supreme court as we wait. i may have to interrupt you for the swearing in justice ketanji brown jackson, but what do we expect as we watch this ceremony play out and we get justice breyer leaving and justice brown coming in in a new job she must be thinking wow, ....
Are still having these firsts after so many generations and so many centuries, and it shows the barriers that black people face and continue to face. it s also a reminder, and again, in a moment we ll talk about this current term including the two big decisions today. you re getting new perspective, a new younger justice on the court with a different life experience at a time of monumental importance for the court. in two of the decisions we re going to talk about in a moment, the court talks about the political dysfunction in america. an immigration ruling that it says it shouldn t have had to make if the politicians could figure things out. so it s an interesting moment. even though she s outnumbered, it will be fascinating to see how she plays this out in the fall. it s true. the conservative political can motto is always we don t want activist justices. we don t want people on the court who are going to do what we are supposed to do in the united states congress. well, that s e ....
Darn close. it is a close call in that sense. it is a trial. anything can happen. but if you are just playing the odds, the new york times should be safe. however, it could potentially really damage if it goes up to the supreme court, and i do think this is a court that would take on this issue and would take on new york times v. sullivan. if you had asked me that two years ago i would say, no, right leaning justices are the opposite of activist justices. i no longer think that. i think it is a case they would be interested in taking if they had the opportunity. josh, let s talk about the media culture danny was talking about, how it changed over the past decades since this editorial was written. that s when what used to be the times , the wall street journal , other dailies, they would have time to sit back, research this, make sure they got it right. suddenly everybody was rushing for deadline, to get something online as quickly as possible. i can tell you on this show we ....
Dozen far left candidates trying to replace president trump are getting off to a rough start. take, for example,ou elizabeth warren and kirsten gillibrand, they do not like that president trump was able to successfully select two original supreme court justices.t so now they want to get rid of the supreme court as we have it currently configured. both senators told politico that they are open to increasing the amount of supreme court justices, and this would give them the ability to stack the court with far left, activist justices, thereby leaving the third coequal branch of government, well, fairly powerless. constantly under the thumb of the executive branch. this is beyond unethical, it is unconstitutional. it is a power grab. but what else do we expect from elizabeth warren? a she has been rigging the system for years, getting ahead by lying about her ancestry.h and let s not forget about cory spartacus booker, he is also taking a brief stand against ....
did you hear that line about not wanting someone who would be an activist judge and i thought of you immediately because there is a pretty strong argument being made in some quarters that the more conservative members of this court have been, in fact, activist justices. well, activist is one of those epithets that s thrown around when it comes to supreme court justices, but as it turns out, everybody likes a certain kind of activist. liberals like roe v. wade which was a decision to overturn abortion laws in many states in the union. that is certainly an activist decision, but conservatives like activism, too. they like the heller decision that overturned gun control laws and democratically passed and democratically elected officials passed gun control laws and the supreme court struck that down. the supreme court struck down part of the mccain feingold law. that was certainly an activist ....
