ruth bader ginsburg was against it. every justice was against it. my uncle was a judge. he was an avowed republican who never let that influence his opinion. you say you want to balance it. caller: -- guest: the caller raised the example of a parking ticket. that is black and white. some statutes are pretty clear-cut. but a lot of them are not, especially when it comes to constitutional interpretation. questions around do process and the 14th amendment are questions that people on both sides of the clinical spectrum have raging debates about that have lasted for decades. the matter of constitutional interpretation is somewhat politicized. you do not have to take my word for it. the conservative movement that has achieved this significant accomplishment of having this majority on the court is the capstone of an intentional project that the political right launched in order to swing the courts right. republicans started the federalist society, got fed up with nominees of republican presidents getting onto the court and surprising them one how they ruled on cases. some of t

when ruth bader ginsburg died, ed markey was one of so many democrats who urged republicans to respect dying wish. "mitch mcconnell has steamrolled through a confirmation hearing, going against precedent and against justice ginsburg's dying wish." that is what ed markey told us. so even from the grave, supreme court justices get to determine who replaces them. but now, ruth bader ginsburg, rest in peace, is no longer useful to people like ed markey, so they want you to forget what she herself said about court packing about a year before she died. >> i have heard that there are some people on the democratic side who would like to increase the number of judges. if anything, it would make the court appear partisan. it would be that one side thing. >> tucker: now, at the time, it was, i think a federal law, that all democrats had to agree with ruth bader ginsburg, so joe biden did. >> i would not get into court packing. we at three justices, next time around, we lose control, they add three justices, we begin to lose any credibility te court has at all. >> tucker: we can go on and on. we'v

husband was 100% innocent, which is why the most left—wing justice on the us supreme court, ruth bader ginsburgto convict him. and that was part of herjudgment. the fact was that when it went down to a lower court, there was a judge of great hostility who managed to reinstate one or two charges. and i think he was, in the end convicted of stealing something like $200,000 by wire fraud — which is a crime which doesn't even exist in most countries. the obstruction ofjustice was complete nonsense. it took place theoretically in canada, and the canadian court said there was no obstruction ofjustice. so, i think you're being — you're slanting things. my husband was entirely innocent. and, were he not, i would not have been there. i am many bad things, i am many horrible things, possibly, you make your own judgments. but one thing i am not is a criminal. when he came out, you built a life with him, but it was a life very different from the life before. and you, again, going back to the concept of enemies and, indeed, maybe vengeance as well, you do dish the dirt on all the people who, after the fall

i never thought that ruth bader ginsburg should step down either. she was one of the most brilliant jurists we ever had in the history of our country so i would not push anybody out. i think they should just retire when they think it's the right time to retire. >> since 2015 you've been working on legislation. debate is endless on the issue and so is gun violence. give us a reality check, senator, on where gun reform is in congress. >> so i think it's possible to pass common sense gun reform on a bipartisan basis. when we last had a vote on my gun trafficking bill we had 58 votes, so we had strong bipartisan support for these reforms. we can build that again. the three things we should do is ban the assault rifles and the large magazines that are designed for military use. they're designed for war. and i don't think people, while they might enjoy using weapons of war as a gun enthusiast, i think that's a sacrifice they should make for the good of the country, because unfortunately too many criminals and mentally ill individuals are acquiring these w

as justice ruth bader ginsburg said, if anything --, and i quote, if anything would make the court look partisan, it would be that. one side saying when we're in power, we're going to enlarge the number of judges so we would have more people who would vote the way we want them to, end quote, from the late justice ruth bader ginsburg. or in the words of justice breyer, and i quote, i hope and expect that the court will retain its authority, an authority that was hard won, but that authority, like the rule of law, depends on trust, a trust that the court is guided by legal principle and not politics, end quote. that from justice breyer. and justice breyer noted, and i also quote, structural alteration note evacuated by the perception of political influence can only feed that latter perception, further eroding that trust, end quote. mr. president, as these two reliably liberal justices make clear, democrats' court-packing plan would do the very thing democrats claim to oppose, and that's to politicize the court. the supreme court would quickly lose its nonpartisan standing and quickly beco

republicans are not on board in 2019 supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg, a liberal icon on thenine seems to be a good number to me when talking about the amount of justice is that should be on the high court. justices liberal and conservative over the decades have agreed nine is a good number and to leave that number alone. but during the campaign candidate, biden promised a 180 day commission toe look at multiple issues on the court, including potentially expanding the court. the white house this week announced it is kicking off that bipartisan study. the president made the announcement of a 36 person bipartisan commission via an executive order. but this idea is not new to put. potentially expand the court 1937 president franklin roosevelt announced his plan to adm. or justices to the high court. his plan was dubbed court packing. the plan failed, but the criticism lasted for decades, including in 1983 when then delaware senator joe biden fiercely criticized president roosevelt's plan, he violated no law. he was legalistically. absolutely correct, but it was a bonehead idea.

ruth bader ginsburg said the same thing, folks on the left are calling for him to step down because theyt a replacement now. what will happen? >> it is a tortured canvas, packing the supreme court and it won't happen and the reason is simple. to accomplish it democrats would have to kill the filibuster and they don't have the votes to do that but president biden is officially and clearly surrendered to the progressive woke crowd led by his vice president, the woke rest of the work. there's a reason why breyer and ginsburg were against this and that is because they see it for what it is. a naked paragraph that would erode the public's trust in the supreme court designed by the founders to be a backstop against governmental access, abuse of power and foolish ideas and if you try to pack records, what you are doing is setting a new and dangerous norm. anytime a political party gains power they will try to alter the composition of the court for their political desires and when they use power the other party takes over and they will either add even more justices or retract the ones that were

in 2019 justice ruth bader ginsburg, liberal icon famously said 9 seems to be a good number and laststice breyer shot down the idea thing structural change motivated by politics would erode trust in the institution. last night jim jordan had this to say. >> they don't have control of the supreme court they will add four people to the court, they control everything. this is a radical takeover of our country and we better stop them. >> stopping it may not be that difficult because if this were to get off the ground and get the senate, 50/50 split senate and they would need 60 votes to change the makeup of the high court. >> judge janine is fired up about this in court packing will dramatically change politics giving one part of the green light to carry out its agenda. >> what this would mean is we would have another legislative body in the united states. the left will have the ability to have a court which is nothing more than a legislative leaning body that will approve all the issues they are trying to make across the board in the united states. we will no longer have a supreme court

over a century, going back to the civil war, a stable court with nine justices, which justice ruth bader ginsburgg the number of justices on the supreme court to achieve political outcome in political balance, that undermines the whole point of the supreme court which is a nonpolitical, nonpartisan institution that is based on the facts, the law and the constitution, not politics. >> sandra: tom depree, we really appreciate you joining us. thank you. >> john: when you look at it back in august of last year, gallup did a poll on approval ratings and found that approval ratings were 58% which really raises the question, if it ain't broke, wife excited? >> sandra: andy mccarthy in his piece this morning was essentially writing about what jill biden was doing to avoid these radical calls to reform the court. he has put together this commission to look into changing or reform in the court. he made the case that this is joe biden trying to appease those on the far left. anyway, an interesting moment in our history for sure. >> john: no surprise there. >> sandra: now to minnesota, and just a matter of m

last week, in january, to give up his seat, i think there are -- we've all learned a lesson of ruth bader ginsburg. >> laura: shannon, as someone who knows the courts so well what is the chance of that happening? >> we hear nothing that he's not continuing to plan and work and keep moving forward. you remember this bill, justice ginsberg, calls from the left, pieces, op ed saying you're doing a disservice to the country, everything you stand for, you've got to stem down. her take on it was you're not going to get somebody qualified and confirmed and vote the way i do and i'll stay here as long as i can. the left is very mad about the way that she left the bench and president trump was able to get his third confirmation to the bench. justice breyer doesn't seem like he's very worried about the chatter. i don't think he's going anywhere. he doesn't seem like he is. >> laura: i love this thinking, this guy has been around for decades, push him off the court because they are unhappy about something. shannon, i want to get to your new book, "women of the bible speak." in the book, you write that over a

ruth bader ginsburg joined that opinion. sonia soto meyer joined that position by chief judges. a opinion teasing out this principle of autonomy even more so in a broader sense. a broader way than the chief justice opinion did. his opinion was joined. nine-zero my dear friends. why? because the supreme court of the united states and we are talking about almost her current membership, not entirely the membership, the membership was in favor of church autonomy in the face of a serious potential violation of civil rights. a violation to the americans with disabilities act. >> i believe that justice joined the concurring opinion ripened and now as of this last summer, the autonomy principle was re- articulated into two companion catholic school cases where i thought it was going to be, i thought we would win, but i thought it was a very hard case because the los angeles diocese did not even require the lay teachers to be catholic. and yet there were certain religious duties that each teacher had. that was sufficient to carry the day seven-two majority. the ability of churches and ch

ruth bader ginsberg was revered in her life at a supreme court justice. she had a thought. if you could play this and get your reaction to ruth bader ginsburgd make the court appear partisan it would be that one side saying when we're in power we're going to enlarge the number of judges so we have more people who will vote the way we want them to. >> dana: that might have been wise counsel. democrats might be getting rid of her idea. >> it's a very bad idea and so much wisdom in what justice ginsberg said and to show this is not political, this is not partisan, justice breyer appointed by president clinton says exactly the same thing. so let's hear some moderate voices. when i say moderate i mean sensible and reasonable voices across the spectrum. let's hear from the american bar association. this is an outrage and absolutely not going to pass because people will stand up in the united states of america and say don't fiddle with supreme court. it is a well-functioning branch of government. >> trace: if it is not going to pass and democrats know it won't pass i wonder what the goal in your assessment is. is the goal to get this in the bloods

guest: in the fall of 2020, when ruth bader ginsburg died.ocrats, in earnest, started talking about this proposal to add court -- seats to the supreme court. a lot of people said we don't want to have to pursue this path. but if republicans are going to obliterate the last remaining norms when it comes to confirmation processes around supreme court justices then this will be the only appropriate response. you even have republican and independent commentators, people like joe scarborough, lloyds from the next -- lawyers from nixon and reagan administration's saying that democrats would be wise to pursue this. susan collins opposed the confirmation a days before the election but they went through it. you have ed markey on the senate side, and mondaire jones, as well as jerry nadler who happens to be the chairman of the house judiciary committee, they have this proposal to add four seats to the supreme court. it's not in the constitution, the number of justices on the court rate it's up to congress to set that number. congress has changed the nu

ruth bader ginsburg joined that opinion. sonya sotomayor joined that opinion with chief justice roberts and justice alito authored a concurring opinion teasing out this principle of autonomy and in a broader sense a broader way than the cheap justices opinion did. and they were joined by justice elena kagan. 9-0 my dear friends. why? because the supreme court of the united states and we are talking about almost the entire membership of the supreme court was unanimously in favor of church autonomy in the face of the serious potential violation of civil rights a violation of the americans with disabilities act. >> i believe justice kagan joins the alito concurring opinion in the alito concurring opinion and as of this last summer the autonomy principle was re-articulated into catholics cool cases where thought we would win the forces of liberty would win but it was a very hard case because the low los angeles diocese didn't require the late teachers to be catholic and yet in certain religious duties that each teacher had and t

other, he wants to call this boneheaded into terrible, terrible idea and goes against what ruth bader ginsburgabout the and current liberal justices stephen breyer's warning about. doesn't appear to be really momentum behind actually making it law, but expanding the conversation perhaps that's the goal here i agree with that. >> shanon: there's a lot of things said today and i've got to say some of the characterizations of recent decisions by the supreme court are what they have been up to come are responsible for, where way and a left field and i would say somewhere a demonstrably false and others were just misconstrued. here's a little bit of what senator markey said today about why this is necessary. adding four seats. >> too many americans question the court's legitimacy. the consequence is the rights of all americans, but especially of the people of color, women, and our immigrant communities are at risk. >> shanon: john, would you make of that assessment of the supreme court? >> first, it should be people who are most vulnerable, people who are minorities, people who have been oppressed

in 2019 supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg when asked about adding justices on the court saide seems to be good number. other justices liberal and conservative have said over the years, leave things alone as number nine. republicans of congress are worried if the filibuster in the senate goes away we may see a change to the supreme court. listen. >> we already know where democrats want to go it's all about political power we better hope senator manchin and senator cinema keep their word and don't get the filibuster changed, if we do the stuff will become law. >> that six month supreme court study will be completed by partisan 36 members republican or democrat. more sensitive timeline on the president's agenda, the white house calling urgent infrastructure plan, the plan is to make sure american companies are paying taxes to help with infrastructure in the white house is looking at two and half trillion dollars over the next decade and a half to help finance roads, bridges and even american airports. >> if you go to a u.s. airport and compare them to airports in other countries
