and justice harlan famously dissent in that case. i'll let you add just one thing. you know, we're talking about segregation and. and segregation was a cruel and justice. harlan, in his dissent in plessy versus ferguson, we're really does do a great diagnosis of the cruel lie of separate but. i mean, the idea was the idea behind it. and it had a real grip on the american legal imagination a long time. the idea behind it, the theory was, well, this is not a violation. the equal protection of the law, because everybody is under the same law. so in plessy versus ferguson, white people cannot be on this in the same car with black. if a white person wants to be in the ride, a black person, they can't do it. if if a black person wants to ride with a white person, they can't do it. nobody can complain. they're all under the same law. they're all being equally restricted. that was the theory. and, you know, it seems to me that one thing that we ought to keep in mind is how powerful an idea that was. i mean. from 1896 to 1954, that's a long time. that's a long time. and, you

that is all in john marshall harland is in the great dissenter in plessy versus ferguson harlan that it's in his dissent you see. in fact that's what i think it was about but i do not need to prove that to you. but patterson does say it. john marshall harland is a genuine question for my friend david. was it rightly beside? i think it was preposterous. sign it income tax into law his name was abraham lincoln if were talking about names. you don't need the 16th amendment at all. lisa supreme court screwed the pooch in the pollock case just like they did in the plessy case but just like the gym in the lochner case. this is justices i do not hold in high regard the person hold on the high regard is john marshall hardly and i hope he is on my side but if you have any doubts you read this amicus brief is quite sure it's based on 10 pages of this book despite how long you have to read the book. if you want more cases of very short it is a three page opinion. read them. they're overwhelmingly on my side and david would agree with that. they don't say thing about fiscal graves or anything li

emerged this week about gifts received by justice thomas from the conservative megadonor billionaire harlan crow and others, including a yacht trip to russia in 2003. in a letter sent to attorney general merrick garland on tuesday, senators sheldon whitehouse and ron wyden called on garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate thomas and said the justice may have committed tax fraud by not reporting the gifts. a bipartisan group of senators announced the ethics act wednesday, which would ban members of congress, their families, and the u.s. president and vice president from stock trading while in office. democratic senator jeff merkley said, "we must be here to serve the public, not our portfolios." jury deliberations are expected to begin today in new jersey senator bob menendez's corruption case. the democratic senator, his wife nadine menendez, and three new jersey businessmen are accused in the bribery scheme. senator menendez is also accused of abusing his official position to benefit interests in egypt and qatar. if convicted, senator menendez could face years in prison. chicag

, has carried on a close financially entangled personal relationship with real estate billionaire harlan crow. it is of material importance to the american people to note that justice thomas' relationship to the billionaire only began after thomas' powerful appointment to our nation's highest court. the cash, goods, and services justice thomas received other the years include large loan balance cancellation, tuition payments for family and vacations in private jets and yachts worth up to half a million dollars alone. in total, justice thomas appears to have received more than $1.5 million worth of goods, cash equivalents and services from mr. crow. and that's just what we know of. but truthfully, we won't ever really know the total sum of contributions thomas received from crow. justice thomas not only accepted these contributions while mr. crow had business in front of the court, but he accepted them in secret, failing for years and years to report them. yet thomas did report smaller gifts during this time. demonstrating a clear understanding of his legal obligation to report. would a r

it got a scant amount of information from harlan crow , the effective dropping of that.ourt ethics transparency act that would have an enforceable code of conduct was voted out of committee successfully but they tried to run it through the senate via unanimous consent, and obviously, you know, the republicans were going to just raise their hand, and boom, there goes unanimous consent, and the bill is dead. i think asserting that power is something that they need to do, and the wins that i'm talking about are simple. for example, last week, jamie raskin, democrat from maryland, introduced a bill that would require the justices to follow the same gift acceptance rules as members of congress. nothing over $50. i would love to see that come to a vote on the house and senate floor, senate more likely given that it's run by democrats and have republicans tell their constituents back home why they believe that supreme court justices should be accepting all of these gifts. so that's number one. i think it's racking up small wins like that, and even if it passes through one house
