the country is currently averaging 117,000 new cases every day and the holiday season s only just begun. is it going to twet worse you think? absolutely, it s going to get worse. you know, anderson, we have a very interesting thing happen inning this country. much like we see around the world if you look at india, india had a major surge last april and may that went up very high and then came down relatively quickly back to baseline. that s what we saw in the south this past summer. the southern states, very high. up quickly, down. then, you saw a situation in united kingdom where the surge started in july. it went up high. came down a little bit. and then, went back up and it stayed there. that s exactly what we are seeing right now in the northern tier of states. if you had actually draw a line through the great plains, across minnesota, wisconsin, right now, across all the way toe to the northeast. those are states that are actually seeing these prolonged surges. what is also now
last week. where the court the same five justices who were in the majority here, were were jumping out of their seats trying to overrule roe versus wade. so i think, um, the the the subtext of today s decision is, you know, this law doesn t really this procedure stuff doesn t matter because in a couple months, we are going to get rid of all restrictions on abortion. so, that s that s really where things appear to be heading. and the procedural niceties here will be forgotten by that point. senator davis, could i mean, if what you said is, you know, true about then this basically could impact states ignoring federal laws, ignoring the constitution, and making up their own rules. could you see this decision backfiring on this conservative court, for example, a state like new york passing or some liberal state passing a similar law on gun rights? if there was consistency with these five justices, i could see that this would create a problem.

senators to decide do you want to be john lewis? or do you want to be john stennis? the measures before the senate. the john lewis advancement voting voting rights advancement bill. the freedom to vote act, which is authored by by senator manchin. are both really good pieces of legislation that deserve a vote. that deserve support. that deserve to be put into place. and if you pass the freedom to vote act, you outlaw, you will ban partisan gerrymandering. which will wipe it out and make make that something not that the american people have to be concerned with. in states, though, like illinois, oregon, maryland, democrats are also engaged in gerrymandering congressional districts and it s something carl rogue recently wrote about, criticized your push for fairer redistricting writing this isn t about fairness, democracy, or ending gerrymandering in redistricting. democrats want to elect more of their partisans to advance their agenda. so do republicans. the only difference is
measures. but given the situation where we are now, we have deliberated enough. we have talked about this enough. it is time for a vote. it is time for democratic senators it s going to have to be the democratic party, not the republican party. it s time for democratic senators to decide do you want to be john lewis? or do you want to be john stennis? the measures before the senate. the john lewis advancement voting voting rights advancement bill. the freedom to vote act, which is authored by by senator manchin. are both really good pieces of legislation that deserve a vote. that deserve support. that deserve to be put into place. and if you pass the freedom to vote act, you outlaw, you will ban partisan gerrymandering. which will wipe it out and make make that something not that the american people have to be concerned with. in states, though, like illinois, oregon, maryland, democrats are also engaged in gerrymandering congressional districts and it s something carl rogue
