robert: yeah. this conspiracy theory has been around for quite a while but we've seen it really gain steam, especially over the last two years. we've seen it gain steam in the aftermath of the george floyd protest and one of the things we cover in our book, robert and i, is what happened immediately after george floyd died, which there was this great coming together across the political spectrum of people essentially saying that that was wrong and that we need to stamp out white supremacy, we need to stamp out racism, we need to stamp out institutional racism and -- in the police forces but we saw the backlash. and that is something that we are seeing in our politics. we're seeing how people who campaigned on issues like banning critical race theory were able to control their political fortunes and find themselves in power as a result of focusing on those issues, focusing on the backlash and focusing on the grievances that are out there. and we've seen people try to cash in on that. and the outcome

justice roberts: justice alito? justice sotomayor: am i assuming by your argument that the existence of the law -- north carolina law here is irrelevant? you're basically saying, whether there's a law or not, we have to mandatorily let every legislative member come in. i don't know what to do with that claim given how we have ruled in a variety of different cases that a legislature can't defend the constitutionality of a law because that's up to the attorney general of each state or the law who designates who's going to defend. mr. thompson: state law is not irrelevant, your honor, because it's a three-part test. one is to test under donaldson whether there's a significantly protectable interest. here, we have federal -- justice sotomayor: but that's every legislature, has a legally protective interest. so go -- go ahead. mr. thompson: yes. step two, this is where state law kicks in, is at step two -- justice sotomayor: right. mr. thompson: -- which is on the assignment. the -- that is exclusively a function of stat

justice roberts: thank you, counsel. mr. thompson: thank you. justice roberts: ms. theodore. ms. theodore: thank you, mr. chief justice, and may it please the court: from rule 24's inception through today, a single principle has guided interpretation of the adequacy pron. when a proposed intervenor's interest is identical to one that's already represented in the case, we presume that the existing representative is adequate, and that common-sense presumption holds particular force when the existing representative is a state official charged ethically and legally with defending state interests. the presumption is further supported by the strong federal interest in requiring states to speak with a single voice at a time in federal litigation. from the vantage point of federal law, there's one state. the state as a unified entity is what matters for federalism purposes, and it's the state that has the sovereign interest in defending state law. where one state representative decides to no longer represent th

robert pork, showed them how to testify in those hearings. robert bork by telling the truth showed them they should never, ever tell anything like the truth about what they believe or what they know and what they want to do to roe v. wade. nothing shows how far republicans have moved to the right more clearly than support for roe v. wade. roe v. wade was decide as a seven to opinion act 73 with five justices appointed by republican presidents supporting roe v. wade. five of the seven were republican appointed justices. the first president bush who appointed clarence thomas began his political career as a strong supporter of planned parenthood, just like his father before him. prescott bush who served as planned parenthood as treasurer before winning a seat in the united states senate represent connecticut. we watched george h. w. bush personally moved to the right in realtime when he was selected by ronald reagan as his vice president running mate in 1980. george aclu bush was then forced to formally endorse the republican platform opposing r

chief justice roberts: justice gorsuch? justice gorsuch: i'd like to pursue that just a little bit further with you. and, certainly, if -- if -- if aedpa were to control, you'd have to go to state court in the first instance and review in federal court would be more limited. but i wonder whether -- how that cuts -- and this kind of gets to justice kavanaugh's point too, which is we've said that if you're going to seek a shortening of your sentence, you've got to go to habeas. >> correct. here >> you are putting the state to a choice of either changing his law or being frustrated and set ability to carry out a lawful judgment. why is that not exactly the sort of thing that the federalism concern that animated aedpa, indicate to us -- why isn't that a signal that the right place at the about this case is the state court should have an opportunity to address these questions in the first instance under aedpa? mr. hellman: i think the reason that is not the right way to think about it is, as justice scalia artfully put it in the

robert shelton always seen driving his late model, cadillac shelton was an excellent organizer. he managed to bring several clan factions together to form the united clans of america, which he led. the former tire salesman was now in charge of $30000.00 men in 5 states. beaming with confidence, the imperial wizard appeared more and more in the news. under pressure from the media, the investigation began moving faster and the f. b, i became more closely involved immediately more if the agents were transferred in the united states. navy has a small training base near meridian and approximately 200 sailors came out with the f. b i agents to assist in the search of the area where the car was located. on august 4th, 1964. after a $45.00 day investigation, the bodies were finally found in a forest. the f. b. i managed to get a witness to talk and reveal everything more than 15 suspects were linked to the large scale plot and arrested among them weren't samuel bowers, a local plan official, as well as sheriff lawrence rainy. and cecil price, who had arrested the 3 activists. this was a

poor robert. can you make a phone call? call call for help. robert ruby hear, answer, say something. t dear brothers and dear sisters in this month of november, when everything reminds us that fine days always come to an end, our lord called our brother robert to him. robert, like his father , devoted his life to the education of morality, but no horrible. their goal was to help young girls find their place in the world and raise them to be responsible for their daily hard work. without him. many would not find their happiness. this is what our brother left behind for his wife and grieving younger sister. we wish them to stand in the face of this terrible misfortune and find strength without a man. what's his name? you often see him practically grew up together. did you have it with her? almost wait for me. we'll have time to go for a wedding dress, when our legs went in our hands. the latter will not give sweets. but who wants candy? 15 hours 5 minutes we no games will answer your emails. i have a letter from valery b from limoges, she worrie

and roberts, increasingly is with sotomayor and breyer.ourt is really shifting away from roberts because he's now aligned with the three liberals and thomas is aligned with the four other conservatives to make a new majority. >> how have the dynamics changed since the death of ruth bader ginsburg, since amy coney barrett joined the court? >> this is really -- some replacements on the court are -- all replacements are consequential. when steven breyer stepped down and he's being replaced by judge jackson, that is important. but this was epic. this was epic in its importance because at the end of president trump's term in 2020, justice ginsburg died. amy coney barrett was rushed through by mitch mcconnell. and that changed the court from a 5-4 majority for the conservatives with chief justice roberts in the majority to a 6-3 conservative majority with roberts increasingly siding with the three liberals. but he is increasingly irre irrelevant. if the roe v. wade case stands in the draft opinion that we have seen, that will be the most vivid d

you can read opinions by john roberts and tell they're john roberts opinions, or by thomas or alito.om the limited looks we've had at their opinions. >> right. >> again, my only question right now is, is this an early draft or not? josh said that it was not an early draft. it had opinion across the top. but that was written in february. again, perhaps this is the decision that will come out. but there can be a lot of horse trading going on between february and late june, when this opinion is released. i think the bigger question right now for us is the leak. why was there the leak? also, did the leak come from somebody in alito's camp, in the pro-life camp, that wanted to keep amy coney barrett and kavanaugh nailed down, more connected no alito opinion? or was it from somebody on the left who wanted to send it out as a warning? that roe v. wade, a 50-year precedent that 73% of americans support, that roe v. wade is going to be overturned in the next couple months. those are the questions that hang over this bombshell of a story. john heilemann, we'll get to that in one moment. first,

as chief justice roberts said at the time, justices know that criticism comes with the territory. it's a free country. people can express themselves within limits. but threatening statements, he said, of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they're dangerous, he said. well, chief justice roberts is right and subsequent events have shown that threats against the justices aren't going away and are becoming even more intense. we need to take steps to improve the protection of the justices and their families against potential violence, and it can't wait until something bad happens. some political activists have already announced their intention to go to the private homes of the justices. this is an appalling violation of their personal privacy, and puts them and their families at risk. we currently have two justices with school-age children. once judge jackson joins the court, when justice breyer steps down, there will be three. the chief justices asked do think take appropriate action to increase protection for the physical safety of the justice

robert berke's nomination was defeated on the senate floor 58 to 42. the 58 votes against robert boric included six republicans who voted against republican president ronald reagan's nominee because his views were too extreme. clarence thomas was watching that robert bore confirmation hearing from his job in the reagan administration. and three years later, clarence thomas gave an answer in his confirmation hearing that stunned the senate. i was working in the senate at the time, and i've remembered this answer almost ward forward since the day he said it under oath. it had nothing to do with any to hills sexual assault -- sexual harassment allegations against clarence thomas. which did not become public until after his confirmation hearing was actually considered a complete. the hearing process had to be reopened to consider any to hills accusations. but it was in that first part of the confirmation hearing before there was a controversy that clarence thomas gave announcer that most senators simply did not believe, and it was about roe v. wade. >> i w

yes, on this sofa, robert lays out the sofa., yes, it’s so volt this year, how the hell are you lying, the children’s desk was organized along the window so that there would be enough space for both camille and robert to him true, so far it ’s more interesting than the race, but for them there is space, brother and sister live together in their room quite satisfied. but you can’t say this to your parents, although they tried to hang around their bedroom to hang photos. for example, ruslan is a tool engineer by education. he has the ability to pass on to his son there is a place in the room and for girls of joys galina, a consultant in a cosmetic company, has a makeup artist diploma. i think there are often beauty parties. i strongly advise. start the day with makeup with styling, especially for girls with different moods, it will be different in itself. i noticed 150 times. sometimes it happens that i feel bad mood. but if i don't put on my make-up now, it's even worse. another very compact corridor. come on, listen, well, it is

>> chair peskin: come on up, robert. >> this is my colleague, robert i will let him take the question. thank you. >> hi, chair peskin and vice chair mandelman and supervisor chan. i would add to what the committee does -- the members of the public -- i think that -- i see it as they are representing the unhoused community. you know, they are able to suggest changes. for example, we have one standard of care that we're just adjusting to add warm water. there was no standard of care that said that the shower had to be warm. and so they see with different eyes than -- i mean, i know that i try to be empathetic, but i just don't have that experience -- that lived experience. so many of our members have lived experience and they are maybe in some ways better at seeing issues. i know that as a supervisor in state service for many years, i didn't have much incentive to notice that there was a daisy chain of extension cords there but if a safety inspector came in they would have no problem giving me more work. so that's one element of it. so in the meetings, we also -- the members discuss pos

but the key thing here is that chief justice roberts is relevant. as justice alito plus the four justices to his right beside chief justice roberts who you need to flip. kavanaugh, or for such, or thomas. and that is just, you know, that is pretty unlikely thing given the argument. so, rachel the process is, this case was argued in december. the justices take a tentative vote right after it. and then, the senior most justice of the majority assigns the opinion to whomever she or he wants. here, it's unlikely roberts will send a majority, because you would've probably signed the draft opinion to himself. so it's likely illegal or thomas was one of those two. illegal has not written this opinion, it's circulated to the other justices, there's gonna be a descent those gotta be prepared. sometimes, it's possible that the senate can change the minds of those and the majority. but here, you know, so far, we haven't seen any indications with that from the other four. so i'm afraid to say, and this is of course, this literally never happened in our history.

roberts led a 5-4 conservative lock.ash with fellow conservative on the bench came 2012 when he cast the vote that saved obama's healthcare act and former president trump transformed the court with the appointment of justices gorsuch and amy kconey barrett. >> reporter: trump disparaged the judiciary and under cut roberts and his message of impartiality. >> this was an obama judge. >> reporter: prompting roberts of an unusual repute. we have a 6-3 super majority, roberts will have a tougher time convincing colleagues not to overturn roe v. wade, despite his argument about ignoring long standing precedents. >> we look at today's of perspective is going to be a long list of cases that we are going to say is wrongly decided. >> where does this go from here? >> reporter: this draft is not the final decision of the court. roberts could privately be writing alternative opinions and sharing it with some of the justices to see if they can possibly sign on. on monday, the court is expected to issue orders and opinions. it is high

so robert made a u-turn and followed the driver. >> i am chasing my truck right now! we are heading towards san martin. >> reporter: robert keeps following his truck to gilroy. >> he is taking me to a place where it is dangerous. >> he stops and jumps out of the truck and runs. within ten minutes the highway patrol shows up, the morgan hill, and the gilroy police and the sheriff department all meet where i am at. >> reporter: less than two hours when his truck is stolen, gets the truck back, but it is not the first time it happened. last april someone stole the same truck and everything inside. >> at that time it was about $5,000 in tools and variations of all of my kind of the hand tools that i use for my typical job work. >> luckily, a neighbor saw someone selling his tools a mile away, and the police responded and helped him to get his truck back, and this time, he lost about $500 worth of tools. the police warn of the dangers of pursuing a criminal on your own, but robert said he reacted. >> that is it. i am not going to put up with this anymore, and it never cros

but the key thing here is that chief justice roberts' vote is now irrelevant. it is justice alito plus the four justices to his right, besides chief justice roberts, who you need to flip kavanaugh or gorsuch, or thomas, and that is just, you know, or amy coney barrett, and that is a pretty unlikely thing given the tenor of oral argument. so the process is the case was argued in december, the justices take a tentative vote right after it, and then the senior most justice in the majority assigns the opinion to whomever she or he wants. here it is unlikely roberts was in the majority because he would have probably assigned the draft opinion to himself so it is likely that alito or thomas was one of those two, and alito is now written this opinion, it is circulated to the other justices and there is going to be a dissent that's prepared, sometimes it's possible that the dissent can change the minds of those in the majority, but here, you know, so far, we haven't seen any indications of that from the other four, so i'm afraid to say, you know, and this is of course

is roberts responding ought all?nd also it's coded language but what is thomas accusing roberts of, not being on the up and up? >> you know, it's funny you say it exactly that way because chief justice john roberts can be quite cagey about how he operates behind the scenes. i'm sure he wouldn't use that word on himself and would probably think he's trying to deal with his colleagues as an honest broker but he can be quite secretive. in times that he has pulled out a majority, essentially a rabbit out of a hat when it looked like things were not going to be his way or he wouldn't be able to broker something, an constitutionalist middle ground result which is what he has been aiming for, he did it by first working quietly, working in confidence with one or two other justices and that has built up resentment over time among the justices on the far right who have seen him kind of thwart the outcomes he wants, but what's different this time, john, is that clarence thomas went public. clarence thomas -- he may have had tho

host: future of road tests the cloud of roberts. how has the makeup of the court and the dynamics of the court with no six conservative justices including the chief justice, how has chief justice roberts role changed with the newer addition of those justices? >> it has changed dramatically. there was a period where john roberts was both the chief justice and the median judges for the cases that divide the court along ideological lines. he really controlled almost everything. once justice where it took justice ginsburg's seat, that shifted the balance to the right and the median justice is now somebody other than john roberts depending on the case. it may be neil gorsuch in some cases and that has meant that the chief justice prefers a bit of an incremental approach to the law. the idea that you might not go all the way in overturn roe in this case is consistent with what he might do. but if there are five justices that want to go further than he does, then he doesn't control that decision. host: greg stohr covers the supreme court f

joining me now is the heritage foundation president, kevin roberts. kevin, thanks very much for being here. and jen psaki was asked about this. she said, look, i don't know where they protest. i don't care where they protest. it's just it has to be peaceful. your reaction. >> well, it's deplorable, maria. this is just something that stands in contrast to the biden administration calling peaceful parents at school boards domestic terrorists. if i've ever seen domestic terrorists in the last week it's certainly not parents at school board meetings but the knuckle heads at the justice's homes. justice alito had to be he removed to an undisclosed location. as i sit here with you, me, a pro lifer, i would never want my friends, associates and families doing this to the justices that support abortion. it violates safety. think of what they've had to put up for several months, intimidation and harassment by
