and by the way, she was just basically quoting susan panther anthony there and also alexander hamiltonwho said, if you get if you give someone control over my financial destiny, you've given up everything. and so beyonce has been a purveyor of that notion. her music, since she was a kid, since her first songs and also body positivity and the idea of equality and marriage and that sort of thing. so anyway. but if you think about dolly parton, i did because i think she's just also kind of funny and so funny. rates is high there on my list of things that would be good to know about. but i don't think she i mean, i'm a huge fan of dolly parton. i mean, but does she make feminism a point the way that beyonce i know she really doesn't but she you know, working women, she it's just her now the question is, what is feminism now? right. is feminism like, you know, i will never shave under my arms. that was the seventies has feminism that you know i don't know i won't a dress or is and people like dolly parton and also beyonce even more dramatically have said no feminism is about your right to d

justice story's view was a echo of alexander hamilton's father-in-law, senorhilip schuyler, who took the exact same position on behalf of entire new york state senate st one month after the ratification of the constitution. for the first 140 yes the republic, there was not a single state court thalidated on substantivgrnds any congressional redistricting plan. this court's decision in lesser tehes that the founders passed state legislatures with federal functions that transndny substantive limitation sought to be imposed by the people of the state, and wcome the court's questions. justomas: counsel, this case is from a state supreme court that interpreted and applied a state constiti. so it wo helpful if you would take some time to explain what exactly we are reviewing, wh dision we are reviewing, and what is the basis of our jurisdiction? mr. thompson: yes, your honor. thank you. the court is reviewing the decision. there was an order on february 4th of the north ca supreme court, and it was accompanied s later by a ten opinion, and in that written opinion, there was a liability det

it's alexander hamilton with manufacturers back in the beginning of our country.l policy in a way that was pretty -- you know, not particularly thoughtful. whoever had the best lobbyist got the best tax break. that's not the way this president wants to proceed. with bidenomics growing the economy from the middle up and bottom up, we're reversing decades of disinvestment in key sectors including manufacturing. and again, people recognize that this is very important not only for replacing some of the hollowing out that occurred during globalization when places lost factories that really made their towns and therein, we see hundreds of billions of dollars coming in from the sideline to help, to help rebuild this sector in areas of clean energy production and semiconductors, two areas where the market very clearly produces what we need to achieve both resilient supply chains and our national security goals. so those seem to us and to most americans like smart investments. and by the way, part of that group are investors who as we start ed this part of the conversation

alexander hamilton says, this is the fulfillment of our fears, that a demagogue might subvert the americanhe hobby horse of popularity, he may ride the storm and direct the whirlwind. burr is acquitted on the technical claim that the treason requirements weren't met, and jefferson accepts the verdict. what's important for the country is republicans and democrats accept the legitimacy of this proceeding and not attack it, not call it nazi germany or a sham indictment, because if our institutions fail and if both sides don't embrace the rule of law itself, then we may see a tragic rupture of the american institutions of democracy, much as was narrowly averted in the 1800s. the stakes could not be higher that the the historic moment. >> if republicans actually turn this proceeding and say it's a sham proceeding and turn against the rule of law, it's going to be difficult for american government to move forward. i keep hearing these arguments about the first amendment. gerard baker, former editor of the "wall street journal," said republicans need to know what they're doing here and stop this
