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, intere
