host: you mentioned the late justice bader ginsburg. you have probably seen stories that she had said that may be expanding the court was not a good idea. justice breyer is saying so in recent days. what you think about members of the court being hesitant? guest: i have been asked about a -- that a lot. i was a, what do you expect them to say? as sitting justices, they are going to say there is nothing illegitimate about the institution and that their power should not be called into question. it is sort of similar to the recent controversy in georgia around the voting rights law. in response to this measure the republican legislator passed and ryan kemp signed, a lot of businesses have taken physicians against the law. major league baseball made the decision to pull the all-star game out of atlanta. in response to those announcements, a lot of democratic politicians in georgia are saying that we disagree with this law. we do not want the economy in georgia to suffer. people like stacey abrams and senator warnock have said they do not su

before justice ginsburg died i think the supreme court we had before justice ginsburg was that furtherriminal justice than any court we've had the previous 20 or 30 years. it wasn't because it was a liberal court, it was because you had 40 liberals, roberts fourth amendment issues, especially when technology was involved, he was really sketched out by what cops could do to spy on you through your cell phone and stuff like that. he went with the liberals on those issues. kavanaugh is surprisingly wprogressive views on race and criminal justice. he wrote his log review notes on racial jury discrimination so on racial questions you get liberals press kavanaugh. gorsuch has because when you only have five vote if anyone of them has unusual view on one issue then that matters. i think there's a real generation divide with the conservatives in. i talked about this caroling craddock's framework, this wasn't just the way that liberals thought, this is the way that every theorist liberal thinker thought until fairly recently. if you go back and read what nixon had to say about the role of the j

but before justice ginsburg died, i think the supreme court we had before justice ginsburg's death was further to left on criminal justice than any court we've had for the previous 20 or 30 years. and reason for that wasn't because it was a liberal court. because you have four liberals, and roberts on fourth amendment issues especially when if technology was involved, it was just really sketched out by what cops do to spy on through your cell phone stuff like. so kind of devote with liberals on those issues. >> it is more surprisingly progressive views on race and criminal justice, he wrote his law review note on jury on racial jury discrimination so racial questions you get liberals plus kavanaugh. gorsuch is kind of views on like jury trials and like right six amendment issues and so like -- you know, because qhs you volcano five votes if any one of them has an unusual view on one issue you can sometimes seal them off that matters. now, that said i think there's a real generational divide within conservatism so like i talked about this product framework and this was not just the way

the late ruth bader ginsburg and stephen breyer, who has been on the bench. since 1994.ut now president biden has ordered a 36-person, six month bipartisan commission to study the expansion of the count. and and this week -- of the court. and this week a group of democrats introduced legislation to increase the number of justices from 9 to 13. so how likely could a change be coming to the court? the bar is high in a 50-50 split senate where it will take 60 votes to pass. at the supreme court, griff jenkins, fox news. eric: and, by the way, you heard mike wallace narrating that old newsreel from decades ago about this type of situation. and as that debate continued then and continues now, expanding the number of justices on the supreme court is continuing. democratic new york congressman jones is a cosponsor of the house bill that's aimed at adding four seats. he is publicly calling now for 82-year-old justice stephen breyer to step down. that way, the thinking is, president biden could nominate a younger liberal judge to a seat hoping to avoid the repeat of last fall whe

perhaps largely too litigation brought by justice ruth bader ginsburg. definitely and i wonder where do you think that line of cases fits into the larger narrative about the burger court? so where i think it fits in is that it was of course a response to changes in society changes in the world around them changes in the role of women in the work. place in the home and actually ruth ginsburg has said kind of you know modestly. i mean she had a good deal to do with creating this jurisprudence, but she said she came along at the right time when the court was ripe for this so, you know a point we make in the book is kind of this far enough further and one case that i emphasized maybe more than people might expect was an early case of pregnancy discrimination. where those of us in this room old enough to remember when a public school teacher got pregnant. she had to leave. whether whether she wanted to or not mandatory unpaid leave with the long leave and so on and this was challenged. as a violation of equal protection and the court struggled with it and the

when ruth bader ginsburg died, ed markey was one of so many democrats who urged republicans to respect dying wish. "mitch mcconnell has steamrolled through a confirmation hearing, going against precedent and against justice ginsburg's dying wish." that is what ed markey told us. so even from the grave, supreme court justices get to determine who replaces them. but now, ruth bader ginsburg, rest in peace, is no longer useful to people like ed markey, so they want you to forget what she herself said about court packing about a year before she died. >> i have heard that there are some people on the democratic side who would like to increase the number of judges. if anything, it would make the court appear partisan. it would be that one side thing. >> tucker: now, at the time, it was, i think a federal law, that all democrats had to agree with ruth bader ginsburg, so joe biden did. >> i would not get into court packing. we at three justices, next time around, we lose control, they add three justices, we begin to lose any credibility te court has at all. >> tucker: we can go on and on. we'v

that's why justice breyer and justice ginsburg both had that same view that i have of the size of the court. jacqueline: i've got to ask you about another topic, our colleagues just published a big deep dive on. do you believe matt gaetz who is being investigated for federal sex trafficking laws should be asked to resign? mr. blunt: i didn't serve with him at all, never met him. if guilty of those activities you have to believe he should resign. i have no idea what the facts of that case are, nor have i looked carefully at it. jacqueline: someone who has reportedly shown nude photos of women to colleagues on the house floor and in his office and bragged about his inappropriate escapades to colleagues, what do you have to say to the young women who are working in congress, either as lawmakers maybe or even as staff, who might feel uncomfortable with continuing to work around him? mr. blunt: well, in the congress, and under the constitution, each body of the congress determines who serves in the body. the house can, and possibly that's what they might do, they can decide whether a membe

justice ginsburg said late in her incredibly significant career that she thought nine was about the right size. justice breyer just last week said that nine was the right size. i don't think the court gains by making it bigger. one of the lessons that democrats and republicans should have learned over the last few years is that when you begin to change the norm, you change the norm of future behavior as well, you know. president trump was able to nominate and a republican senate confirmed three justices, and so senator markey and house members joining him and said well, , we need to now add four judges. and if that was successful it won't be too long before there's a republican president and republican senate, then i guess the same standard will be we would add five justices. that would be a terrible road to head down. and on the part of the 30 six-member commission, i think that commissions looking at the way it's put together is almost certain to suggest that we add judges to the court, and they will do that after having hearings, talking about the conduct of the court and how they're d

bader ginsburg.o the rulings have shown the body to be rather partisan. one that is increasingly cannot be trusted to call balls and strikes as john roberts said in his confirmation hearing about 15 years ago. you've seen the court since 20's -- 2006 rule 70% of the time in favor of the chamber of commerce, the main lobbying arm a big business in the country. and you see this with republican political interests when it comes to cases regarding elections and voting rights. everything from the shelby county decision in 2013 that got of the voting rights act to the decision three years ago to allow states to continue to engage in partisan gerrymandering. a lot of cases where the roberts court is consistently siding with republican interest make it harder for people to vote. so when the set of rulings and in the way that people have been confirmed to the court, you are to see public polling show and erosion -- an erosion in the trust of the spring court. as an institution, cannot be viewed as judgment. w

there's a reason why breyer and ginsburg were against this and that is because they see it for what it a naked paragraph that would erode the public's trust in the supreme court designed by the founders to be a backstop against governmental access, abuse of power and foolish ideas and if you try to pack records, what you are doing is setting a new and dangerous norm. anytime a political party gains power they will try to alter the composition of the court for their political desires and when they use power the other party takes over and they will either add even more justices or retract the ones that were added but the net effect is you would have a whipsaw of our laws. it would be in constant flux. one year something is lawful and constitutional, the next year is not but president biden has unwittingly handed a political gift republicans they were used against him in the midterm election, in any paul americans are against court packing so this is really political suicide. >> he may not get a chance to do it for the reasons you said even if you want to. i could ask another question abo

in 2019 justice ruth bader ginsburg said nine seems to be a good number when talking to be about theber of justices on the bench. other justices have said in the past week alone nine seems to work, just a stephen breyer you don't really hear from these justices speaking publicly but he spoke to harvard last week and said this about adding justices to the court. listen. >> motored by the perception of political policing, further eroding the trust. >> he is a fan, the washington post and with an op-ed replacing instituted in 1788 at a time of a shorter life expectancy with an 18 year term, that is a proposal that would drain the intensity from the supreme court politics by providing both policies to nominate justices thus lowering the stakes of each vacancy. in addition to the supreme court is time sensitive impressing on the president's agenda with the white house is calling an urgent infrastructure plan, the president's plan is to make sure american companies are paying taxes to help with infrastructure, the white house looking into and half trillion dollars over 15 years to help fin

ruth bader ginsburg said the same thing. folks on the left are calling for him to step down because they want a replacement now. what's going to happen here? >> it's a tortured fantasy packing the supreme court and it won't happen, and the reason is pretty simple. to accomplish it, democrats have to kill the fillbuster and they don't have the votes to do -- filibuster and they don't have the votes to do that. joe biden surrendered to the woke crowd led by his ice president, the wokest of the woke. there's a reason why breyer and ginsburg were against this and that's because they see it for what it is, a naked power grab that would erode the public's trust in the supreme court designed by the founders to be a fact stop against governmental excess, abuse of power and foolish ideas and if you try to pack the court, what you're really doing is setting a new and dangerous norm anytime a new political party gains power. they'll try to alter the composition of the court for their political desires and when they lose power, another

you've got a briar against it, you've got ruth bader ginsburg at before she passed away, so when youch, that has not been political, that is not been partisan, why do they want to turn one of the only institutions that we have left that's not viciously partisan into an instrument of being the tool of whoever is in power? i would've thought the democrats would've learned their lesson from 2013 but apparently they like learning the same lessons. >> harold ford jr., what do you think this is? is this looking for a reason to expand the court or looking for a reason not to give the progressives what they are looking for? >> thanks again for having me on. i think if we explore is this executive order calls for the expiration of the number of justices, and probably the number of jurists on the very circuit courts, i think america will learn a lot about how our court system works, why worry are the envy of the world and why many of the things are true about our system and about checks and balances that we had to. i sure justice breyer's view appeared it will be interesting to see this topic

it is interesting, though, that despite the fact that ruth bader ginsburg didn't lie in state in theople watching the incredible funeral and memorial services for her, they might not know the difference because she was in statuary hall, the next hall over in the center of the capitol but it's the one that pelosi controls. >> dana bash, great to see you, and glad to see you got the memo to wear yellow today. >> i know. >> brightening it up on this day. >> happy spring. >> thanks, dana. >>> we're going live to a press conference with the family of daunte wright, the 20-year-old killed in brooklyn center, minnesota. let's listen. >> sitting down eating dinner with us, going out to lunch, playing with his 1-year-old, almost 2-year-old son, giving him a kiss before he walks out the door. so justice isn't even a word to me. i do want accountability, 100% accountability, like my sister said, the highest accountability. but even then, when that happens, if that even happens, we're still going to bury our son. we're still never going to be able to see our baby boy that we're never going to ha

justice ginsburg said in the 2020 election when a number of democrats were talking about court packing that she did not think it was a good idea, she got nine was a good number. this also creates a headache for the president and speaker nancy pelosi because this is a very progressive plan, they talked about the fact that the president announced a commission to study the scum of the speaker doesn't seem ready to move forward with this and now it's out there and it's going to be a headache for the democrats to figure out how to handle this moving forward. >> harris: well, yeah, that commission's report results and findings aren't even do for six months, this is just jumping the gun. they just moved on without him, they moved on without president biden. quickly before i let you go because this is something that stood out as it was said, "the court is broken," senator markey in his opening remarks. "the court is broken because mitch mcconnell, senate republican colleagues and donald trump broke it. they stole two seats on the supreme court and now it's up to us, meaning democrats, to repai

his 80s, stephen breyer would certainly be in the front of his mind on the fact that ruth bader ginsburgave appointed somebody who favored her view of the court, but by donald trump who appointed somebody, amy coney barrett probably is diametrically opposed to ruth bader ginsburg on a lot of these issues. so you might think that it might well be that stephen breyer will retire either this year or next year. interestingly enough, justices retire in june when the court session ends. they are saying no, retire or at least announce you are going to retire now so that it can give president biden and his fema i had in placement. remember, if a single democrat were to pass away in the senate, this now becomes a republican majority in the senate. so they may need to strike when the iron is hot. >> sandra: i'm looking forward to your so this weekend with everything happening at the border. you got texas governor greg abbott coming up, this will be an interesting interview, i look forward to it. >> thank you, yes. we will talk about the border, we will talk about guns and we will also talk about c

future >> i think it's an idea that should be considered >> reporter: the late justice ruth bader ginsburg opposed it. >> if anything would make the court appear partisan it would be that >> reporter: and republicans are slamming it as a dangerous liberal power grab >> i can tell you what court packing is, though it will be the end of the supreme court's legitimacy and the end of the rule of law in america. >> reporter: the pressure on president biden from progressive democrats is likely only to grow with his court commission expected to release its report this fall lester >> all right, peter, thank you. >>> in our series on american extremism now you've heard us reporting on the growing threat, but tonight hallie jackson looks at a rescue program for people caught up in hate. >> do you know if he's ever condoned violence >> reporter: at parents for peace the phones keep ringing. >> when covid happened, our help line tripled >> reporter: executive director miriam churchill says it's not just because of the pandemic did the events of january 6th have any impact on your help line that you co

on the liberal side, we have incrementalists like justice ginsburg who criticized roe v. wade for moving to broadly and deciding a hotly contested question in the most sweeping terms rather than merely deciding the case at hand and allowing the political process to take its place. with pragmatists like justices kagan and breyer, who have joined justice roberts in a series of 7-2 decisions over the dissents of justices sotomayor and ginsburg because they believe that the function of the court is to function as a court and to reach practical solutions that both sides can converge around in a madison sense. and then justice sotomayor, who is an inspiring crusader for her vision of the correct constitution in the tradition of justice brennan regardless of its practical consequences. so i really want to work with you to teach these methodologies. first text and original understanding. second, history and tradition. third, precedent. four, pragmatism. fifth, natural law. justice kennedy, who just retired, believed that we do have certain rights that come from god or nature and

the late great justice ginsburg said a few years ago.iden took this position repeatedly in the past. president biden and every democrats needs to be asked and must answer whether they support this radical proposal that would fundamentally alter the structure of american law and life. >> trace: trace gallagher here. i'm curious. andy mccarthy made a good point they know it won't pass at least right now. maybe this is all about trying to intimidate the court. not really get this thing passed or pack the court but intimidate the court that is there now. >> i think andy is on to something there. the democrats have a very bad habit of trying to intimidate the court. chuck schumer went over and stood on the steps of the supreme court and threatened justices by name that they were going to reap the whirlwind if he ruled in a way he did reveal. it is fine to criticize supreme court decisions. heaven knows i've criticized plenty of them. but to take actions that you will expand the court or constrict their rules is a way to intimidate the justice

we saw the late justice ginsburg come out and make the highly unusual public announcement of court packing because it is so extremist and political recently, justice breyer came out and opposed court packing because it would politicize the court. you have two of the last four democrat-appointed supreme court justice is making a highly unusual public pronouncement on court packing. that is all you need to know. pedro: the previous guest made the case that in 1869, if i'm correct, the number of seats was expanded with the idea of federal circuit courts and made the case that that is maybe applicable this time. you see anything to that argument? mike: that argument is wrong. federal appeals courts weren't even established by congress until 1891. supreme court justices used to ride circuit, meaning they got on horses and rode around the country before 1891. the courts of appeals came along to assist the supreme court with appeals so no, that does not matter at all. if you look at the number of circuits, we have had 13 circuits for a long time. where were these democrat operatives, calling for
