so yeah. and you what do you think? what do you think of the responses? what do you think were they telling the truth in that moment? well, when they re saying it the law of the land and they arguably use this to convince certain senators to vote for them, i think that is a major problem. he said it was the law of the land. they are talking about the fact that it s been affirmed time and time again and that s why i think a lot of people are shocked. i will tell you that i m not shocked because i you could see this in the way the questioning went and the willingness as you know, don, in the texas case, a different case to actually in a shadow docket no briefings, no public hearings where they actually allowed an abortion ban to go forward that also included a bounty hunter provision, which allowed citizens to go after each other. it is an unbelievable shift in
