here is how senator amy klobuchar put a fine point on all this today. of all the comments that all the senators made today with opening statements, i think this was the most worth seeing. >> it has been said that the wheels of justice turn slowly. and justice, on the other hand, can move at lightning speed as we are seeing here today. we cannot, and you watching at home should not separate this hearing from the moment we are in and from the judge he is trying to rush through. a justice whose views are known and who will have a profound impact on your life. the president knows this. we have a president who has refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power after an election. every candidate does that, but not this guy. we have a president who has fired or replaced five inspector generals, senator grassley, who has fired an attorney general, an fbi director, and is now going after their replacements. and now he says this election will end up in court. he is putting the supreme court in place, in his words, to, quote, look at the ballots, end quote. wel

we are talking to senator amy klobuchar. -- sort of lacked the time to properly reflect back on ruth bader ginsburg's life i assume as a fellow lawyer, she meant a great deal to you as a trail blazer in this field >> she did i mean, she was something -- someone that never gave up, you know, she was told women shouldn't go to law school -- she graduates one in her class she is told that she shouldn't argue cases in front of a supreme court because a man could get better decisions and she won five out of six. she ends up on the court as an icon into her 80's with her own hashtag, notorious rbg and i was reminded of this, my daughter actually went with me to a party and justice ginsburg was there. and we took a picture of the three of us and she came to me -- my daughter was like, her first year in college -- comes to me afterward, she goes, mom, i've got to put this on my facebook notorious rbg is so cool but i hope you don't mind, i cut you out, mom i cut you out of the photo [ laughter ] cause she's just so cool, but to thin

you saw amy klobuchar just now repeating that as well.k they need to campaign overtly on this because it is such -- again, unfortunately we have to talk about it in political terms, it is a political benefit to them to remind the entire american people of the issue of the pandemic, which they have been trying to put front and center. and i might add there's another theme that this raises. the kind of -- in the rush of these incredible events of the last week, there's a unifying theme for the president's tax returns congut extraordinary performance at the debate, to the people not wearing their masks. at the unifying is that you could argue this is a president who doesn't believe the ordinary rules apply to him, and that theme is now out there in contexts, very difficult for the administration to explain away, and it's helping biden. >> chris: you know, you mentioned the debate, and it seems like that was about two weeks ago. in fact it was on tuesday and there's no question it was unusual. here's a look back at some of that. >> i think th

to amy klobuchar and the democrats upset this hearing is happening so close to an election, why aren'tou upset? about the censorship? oh, that's right because the censorship benefitted the democratic presidential candidate. i find that rich. in the hearing jack dorsey was asked about this: why would twitter flag a post from the president of the united states about mail-in ballots but allow tweets that glorify violence against israel by iran's ayatollah? that remained untouched on the site. and the man with the beard in austin, texas, he just said, well, one is a violation of our terms of service. they ought to be worried about the democrats, elizabeth warren wants to break up these companies. they will get it from both sides. >> harris: yes. when you say terms of agreement, the way that they run their service, leslie, i forgot about that conexampone example. is it the messenger or the message? >> it comes down to choice. twitter chooses what they put out and they can. there are minimal regulations in place for twitter and facebook. >> harris: should they allow that 230 protection? >> i

. >> bret: one of the interesting question exchanges was with amy klobuchar about super precedent.ent? >> super president is used differently. the way i was using it in the article you're reading from is to define cases that are so well-settled that no political actors and no people seriously push for their overruling, as richard fallon from harvard he said, roe is not a super president because calls for its overruling has never seized but that doesn't mean roe should be overruled. it just means that it doesn't smell in the fall handful of cases like marjorie versus madison and brown versus the board that no one questions anymore. >> bret: again, very well briefed. that was about roe v. wade and whether it was a super precedent. obviously, that's going to come up again with democratic questioning. >> she handled that challenge very well from senator klobuchar. because there is so little drama about the likely outcome here. i've been paying attention to each side, how they are using their time, particularly on their side, make a few points to play to their strength in the election.
