Office and the justice department who objected, who didn t want anything to do with defending the racial dating ban but the reagan administration took this radical line on it and took it all the way to the supreme court and when it got to the supreme court they got destroyed. the court ruled against the reagan administration and racist bob jones university by a vote of 8-1. anthony lieu lewis wrote in the york times the 8-1 decision was worse than an embarrassment for president reagan and his lawyers, it was a humiliation. how couldn t president be given such incompetent legal advice? how could lawyers for the u.s. government stray so far from the mainstream of the country s understanding of the racial issue? how a president at this stage in our history could play with this kind of an issue for political reasons. one troubling aspect about the bob jones affair is what it says about the justice department today. an attorney general is supposed to protect his president, not ....
Right it s hard to see compromising with them on almost anything because they are not what donald trump campaigned on. as i said to you last time, if he were to say i ll abolish the carried interest loophole yeah, of course we d support him but they re not close to that. this administration still occasionally talks populist but its actions are hard right and that s bad news not only for america but them. we ve never had a hard right government. we ve never had a president, house and senate that are hard right. it s so far away from the views of average americans and i would posit the views of most trump voters that they ll have a real hard time. chuck schumer, thank you for your time. i know it s been a week of late nights already. i m filled with energy, i m invigorated by the fight. thank you, sir. a quick programming note. i mentioned senator richard blumenthal the senator meeting with neil gorsuch and made the ....
Roberts assured us he d call balls and strikes. he gets in office and his court does citizens united, a huge break with precedent that ruins, ruins the politics of america. he repeals basically the voting rights act by eliminating section v, a sacred right and i am worried judge gorsuch is similar. he s going to claim he s independent but he has not exhibited any real independence whatsoever. and with this president, independence is more called for an ever. you have been outspoken including talking to me on the show that there will be a filibuster. he s going to have to meet a 60-vote threshold, that republicans won t be aapprove him. in order to get to that 60-vote threshold, you need to hold 41 members of your own caucus together in order to get that filibuster threshold. are you sure you will have that? the white house and right wing media have said the filibuster ....
