how are they so confident that brett kavanaugh would rule in their direction? justin kavanaugh repeatedly in their appeals and in their arguments. how he argued that race-based voting or redistricting cannot go on forever. the same sort of argument that was made under the 14th amendment to strike down affirmative action. and what they're counting on is that kavanaugh will say, well, when i heard the case on the merits, because they didn't hear it on the merits, but when we hear the case on the merits, i changed my mind. because you know, he was not all in with chief justice roberts and the other judges, the other justices. he was only a big toe in. but it was a significant in. this time, they're hoping they can change their mind. no, i cannot say with any certainty that justice kavanaugh will join in the scheme, but when you look at the bed fellows, it is an awfully crowded queen sized bed. >> well, and ginni thomas is in it as well. talk a little bit about the fact that ginni thomas, our insurrectionist wife of a supreme court justice, she's also tied to this

paul: on that point, justice brett kavanaugh said that he expects the supreme court to come out with its own new standards or rules on ethics. there's obviously discussion among the justices of whether to do this or if we should consider and make new rules. let's say they do lay out some standards. is that going to stop the criticism of the court? or will there be an opportunity to say inadequate, inadequate, we need new regulation. >> there's no possibility the court trying to establish its own ethics rules, because properly understood, fundamentally the left, the democrats cannot abide the reality that donald trump appointed three justices to the supreme court giving the court conservatives a 6-three majority. they can't stand that. this has been a strategy to do something about it. they've tried to intimidate the justices with attacks on justice thomas or justice brett kavanaugh or taken this ethical road on which the argument is they now have to regulate the court, congress has to regulate the court. olive it is bent towards trying to diminish the effectiveness of those 6 justice
