and justice scalia passed away shortly after the oral argument and the court affirmed suggesting that justice scalia was the vote and his comments were the indication that the way it looked that they would have been overruled requiring public-sector employees and states cannot require them to pay those agency fees to the agency. so if you are reading the tea leaves it is reasonable to conclude justice course which is in this case but if you look at his poor voting record there is a possibility he could help with the conservative wing on the court.

we need to think back to justice scalia because the myth is is that when justice scalia wrote -- wrote the opinion 2000 and he took an absolute position on the mmm. that is with the national rifle association would like everyone to believe. if you look at it, there are lots of things that justice scalia was careful to write to say, you could ban possession by felons, people who are mentally ill, and the use of guns in sensitive areas like schools, government offices and all sorts of other things that could be done. just today the supreme court declined to review california law requires the 10 day waiting period before you by maggie gun, only justice thomas wanted to review that. everyone else had no problem with the california law. there's a lot more room legally to do a lot of regulation and it is the matter of political will there is a moment with these kids you had on to take advantage of that. i think for those who want to gun control, the time is now but they have to keep up the pressure because it is easy for the story to move on and before you know we will be talking about somet

justice thomas: i used to ask justice scalia about that. he always thought it was interesting that we were so similar. he would say, clarence, he said, my parents, my father was a romance literature professor. my mother was a teacher so i know how i got here. how did you get here? and why are we at the same place? why do we have the same set of beliefs? and i think the beauty of having gone to parochial schools was they taught us how to -- there was a right way to think about things, that we had to be honest with ourselves, honest about math, honest about physics, honest about chemistry, that you couldn't cheat when you did your latin translation or german or french because i had all those in high school. and i was talking recently with someone. he said, it was your formation, that there was always a right way to do things. there was an honest way to do things. and the progression is -- i became catholic when i went to he second grade in 1955. sister mary rosa and wonderful person. at any rate, i became an altar boy and the progression is y

justice scalia said i was solipsistic. i said i have no idea what that means but i like the ring of it. that means i really like my own opinions. and that he said once, clarence, you really don't care for other peoples' opinions, do you? care,en i said, no, i do but i prefer my own. [laughter] justice thomas: i don't know. i think it is really important that when you vote for these things that you explain why and that if it doesn't make sense -- my granddaddy -- i'm not going to use the words he used exactly. he said "boy, if it don't make no sense, it don't make no sense." of course he would spice it up a , little bit. and i think it makes sense to me. when you come from the lower levels in society, when you -- poverty, things have to make sense. , "either you fed the hogs or you didn't fed the hogs. you either greece to the tractor. you either planted the corn or you either greased the tractor or you didn't grease the tractor. you either planted the corn or didn't plant the corn." it was binary, and it was clear. when we

there is never a more pure attached thatng justice scalia. he served wonderfully for 30 years on the supreme court. this was a case about the use of infrared technology to look into people's houses. the question presented was whether that was a search. he said, the fact that it was not a technology known at the time does not alter the fact into thes intruding areas of the home where people -- it is a search of the home. it actually matches the literal words of the fourth amendment. i think similarly, to seize somebody's phone conversations, to wiretap, is a seizure. sure, it was not a technology known at the time but it is an illustration of the constitution terms sometimes embracing new instances that fit into traditional territories. so i think that actually, from an originalist point of view, katz is clearly right that wiretapping somebody's conversations is a search. it is a seizure of a conversation. i agree with an astonishing amount of what akil said about the fourth amendment. it is a prohibition on unreasonable searches. not a prohib

as you noted justice scalia said, like other rights, you can have some restrictions on it.he first amendment classic example, you can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater because of the danger imposed by it. people like me believe we ought to be very restrictive in restricting gun rights for law-abiding citizens. >> jen, to you, i hear ken being on the more restrictive side. just so everyone understands, with the heller decision, the notion perhaps people are floating banning a semiautomatic weapon, that door is open, yes, respecting the second amendment but that door is open because of heller. >> absolutely. i think, i'll add to what he said, he's right the supreme court recognized that the second amendment right is available to individuals it's not sort of -- it's not as broad as he would suggest. et's about the individual right to own a handgun in one's home for personal protection. that's what heller spoke to. and heller leaves open the door to regulate and even restrict ban for automatic weapons, like ar-15s. >> part of what is being discussed. ken, to you, looking b

scalia of the not around, i don't know if people are handicapping it now. >> the prior case was in 2016c's versus california teachers association, almost identical case it was first decided because of justice scalia's untimely death, the jury deadlocked. the only new variable in this case is justice gorsuch. i think that sense is he will side with conservative majority. charles: a political angle to this, one union spent over 15 million in last elect cycle, and 0 to republicans. a lot was spent in rust belt states, they swung, with less spending it could have a political impact if it occurs before midterm. >> astronomical, a favor ruling in janus will knee cap the political power. and this going to overturn essentially a -- if gorsuch rules in favor of it, unless neil gorsuch a closet union member or a member of the afl-cio, i think this goes in the conservative favor. union membership is in decline. charles: could it be a wake-up call to unions? >> they had a big signal since freedic's case that smooth like this was coming. -- that something like this was coming. >> dan il, i remember

justice scalia said that's not a fundamental right.aid that's not a fundamental right. even when the supreme court said they had the right to keep and bear arms, they specifically said these weapons of war, these military assault rifles, the type of military assault rifles that all of our police commissioners say should not be in the hands of civilians. so many veterans say should not be in the hands of civilians. they are used by the deranged or the angry to go out and gun down human beings as quickly as possible. and mika, thoughts and prayers are fine, but why is donald trump impotent. why is he everyone tent when it comes to this. he is supposed to be man of action. he is letting our children get slaughtered week by week by week and it will happen again. he's letting christians that go to church get slaughtered. paul ryan, donald trump, they're just washing their hands of it. like pilot. letting christians get slaughtered. letting country fans get slau s slaughtered at concerts. i'll say it one more time. there are extreme lobbyist
