Valid and the president appealed and now the case is before the appeals court. Thank you, judge. Oyea oyea oyea, all person having business before the United States court of appeals for the District Of Columbia circuit are admonished to draw near and give attention, god save the United States and Honorable Courts. 195142, donald j. Trump,et al, and [inaudible] mr. Norris. Good morning. Good morning, your honor. May it please the court. In april of 2019 when the Oversight Committee issued this subpoena to mazars it had an extraordinarily broad view of its own investigative authority. According to the committee, the power to subpoena the president s personal papers was could he extensive with the power to legislate and did not have to give any reasons or explanation with what legislative goals its pursuing and had no duty to meaningful narrow or tailor its request. That view of its own authority is reflected in the subpoena which is drafted in incredibly broad terms and substantiated wit
Understanding the role of the judge. Thank you. This isnt just a sterol discussion of some theoretical legal document, this is lifeanddeath. For thousands, if not millions of americans. We believe the Affordable Care act is hanging in the balance on this decision fulfilling this vacancy on the Supreme Court. Sowill drive that issue home our colleagues on the others may want to talk about additional policy, very interesting. But this is mandan. We demand demanding. We demand those who are in these hearings understand the reallife situations of american families. Our republican colleagues are shocked that we think this nomination is all about judicially destroying the Affordable Care act. Here from like laura rhode island. The only problem with their feigned shock is that they are the ones who, thats what they are doing. Its in the Republican Party platform to reverse the obamacare case.

Youre going to see democrats frame their questions along the line of political arguments. Democrats are going to focus on the Affordable Care act again, on abortion, all again arguing that she would turn the court to the right. For the nominee herself, judge barrett, she will follow whats called the ginsberg rule as stated by Justice Ginsberg during her 1993 hearings, and really say i cant answer how i would rule on a particular case.
