add to that the court knocking down joe biden s student debt relief and saying a web designer can t be forced to design a same-sex wedding sight, and site, and you have many infuriated democrats. congressman ted lou says he wants to expand the high court because of its radical, extreme supermajority. keep in mind that court pack turned into a fiasco for fdr are. affirmative action has always had a contradiction at its heart, hurting some people like asian-americans who are also a minority, or helping others such as blacks and hispanics. and it s brought out plenty of ugliness. the atlantic s jemele hill, who is black, saying you gladly carried the water for white supremacy and stabbed the folks in the back whose people fought diligently for asian-american rights, white supremacy? it s perfectly fine for pundits to attack coe discuss i rulings they don t like scotus rulings they don t like, but is it going too far to try to undermine the institution? i m howard kurtz9 and
undermine the institution? i m howard kurtz9 and this is mediabuzz. muck. howard: these end of the term rulings are fueling heated media reactions on the left and the right. sometimes in quite personal terms as well as from the president. reporter: is this a rogue court? this is not a normal court. impeach the justices, term limit the justices, pack the court. for all the talk of civility and the talk of the restoration of norms, it seems there ises no institution of our republic that won t be destroyed in defense of their democracy. this court has adopted a kind of imperial mindset. six right-wing politicians in robes on trump supreme court are ganting themselves the right to govern as a superlegislature. the court s affirmative
exist in the admissions process, the least among them which is legacy admissions and, two, standardized testing. because college has become so competitive, many students are engaging in test prep at the eighth grade because their parents can afford it. how do we say, hmm, maybe this student is better than this student howard: so the lawyers for civil rights just sue harvard on this question of legacy admissions, the sons and daughters of donors or others who went to harvard in this case. 70% of those are white, 28% of the student the body are made up op of legacy admissions. i had no idea it was that high in a recent year. and they have a seven times better chance of being admitted. the media never seemed concerned about it.

gaffes that have been made surrounding his campaign team. i mean, just one day after announcing the fact that they had all the campaign cash coming in, they failed to do their due diligence, they didn t get the proper licensing for one of their paid-for ad as, and that would have only cost them a couple thousand dollars. when you make mistakes like this, it s hard to understand how he expects to suck d e in a big way succeed in a big way. howard: let s will look at some pictures from the other night, las vegas, ufc, donald trump hobnobbing with celebrities k and he generates excitement. so, kevin, i know the press loves to fixate on fund raising. jeb bush raised $100 million and went nowhere. do you agree with the politico and elsewhere that the dual indictments have actually helped donald trump raise money in. oh, no question. he came back to bedminster that night and raised $2 million, the same day that he was indicted and showed up in court in florida. so, but again, i think the
dad: you can talk to me. son: it s been really, really hard for me. howard: half a century ago the media expect liberals loved the supreme court, and why not? those justices established the constitutional right to abortion in the roe v. wade and said race could be considered in college admissions. conservatives ripped those rulings but didn t try to discredit the court. but with today s john roberts court overturning both those rulings within a year, it s been something of a media freakout.
