justice scalia was quick to observe that quote. we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis of the full scope. nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibition on the possession of firearms by felons or the mentally or carrying in schools and government buildings or laws imposing commercial sale of arms. his opinion in footnote 26 says these examples he offered were that, examples. quote, our list does not purport to be exhaustive. what the limits on the second amendment are and where to find them has been the subject of litigation now for a decade in the lower courts. the courts have mostly converged on a two-part test. this two-part test first asked whether the regulation implicates the second amendment at all. does the second amendment cover the matter in question? if it doesn't, well, theoretically, that's the end of the case. frequently, this first part of the two-part test relies on some evaluation of the history of the regulation or its pedigree in its specific details or as often in

so in some, sounds justice scalia you know was trying to meld to different lines of reasoning. having to do with his original commitments. the other having to do with the belief that the second amendment actually protects ownership, personal ownership of guns for personal purposes and these things didn't very tightly fit together in the same way as if he said things change in 68 or in the 20th century, that would have supported the opinion in the matter. >> i did forget the part about turn of your phones. that's all right. it happens to everyone now and again. i will follow up with us separate question about localities. back to darrell about state presumption laws and do localities -- the examples added on the card is pittsburgh stand a chance of enacting local ordinances and local challenges? to what extent will the local ordinances fall before the constitutional argument? >> the first law is the supreme court of the land. it is interpreted with the -- if there is a conflict between the 13th amendment and the 14th amendment and eighth pittsburgh organization, the pittsburgh re

in heller, you know, justice scalia, you know, acknowledged that, yes, maybe there are some problems in certain cities with murder rates, but this is a constitutional -- it takes policy choices off the table. patrick, do you kind of agree with that? should courts take into consideration, for instance, a city like chicago where they have a lot of gun violence, is that something that's relevant to courts in considering the scope of certain rights, maybe different regulations and, you know, how relevant is it, for instance, mass shootings that have happened, for instance, las vegas and the fact that the nra has even come out in support of, let's say, bump stocks. what do you make of that kind of debate? >> i mean, this goes to -- first i thought you were going with the drug area then you went -- so i was ready for that answer. you know, firearm localism made sense for so long, even the nra supported firearm localism, i think, until the grove case came down and they appealed that to the supreme court. the first to argue against firearm localism, this idea that states and cities and munic

and the first one is a similar question, asks, didn't justice scalia support reasonable regulation? and another area now besides assault weapons laws are concealed carry laws and there's a case pending in, i think, upstate new york now about new york's regulation of concealed carry. do you think, brannon, that's a closer question than these assault weapons laws? >> no, actually, i think -- i mean, my own view is that concealed carry is an easier call because up until very recently, well, let me back up. in the 19th century, i mean, i'm pretty persuaded that the concealed carry was tightly regulated, prohibited in many places. and to the extent that a license to carry was available, it was usually left to the discretion of some law enforcement official. now, this changed about 30 years ago. there began to be a movement from so-called may issue regimes where the officials had discretion to must-issue regimes. in other words, if you could satisfy certain requirements, you know, have a clean record, go through training, et cetera, they had to issue you a license. and in part, this was a

a similar question asks didn't justice scalia support reasonable regulations?another area says salt weapons laws are conceal weapons laws. now there is eight -- about new york's conceal and carry. do you think that is closer question than assault of in laws? >> no. my own view is that concealed carry is an easier call because up until very recently, back up in the 19th century, i'm pretty persuaded that concealed carry was prohibited in many places. to the extent that a license to carry was available, it was usually left to the discretion of some law enforcement official. now this changed about 30 years ago. there began to be a movement from so-called may issue regimes where officials had discretion, two must issue regimes. in other words, if you can satisfy certain requirements. have a clean record, go through training, they had to issue the license. in part this was a reaction to stories of places like new york. new york city had may issue regimes. it turns out the politicians, well connected people, people like donald trump would get concealed carry permits,

justice scalia spoke eloquently about this and justice barrett wrote about it as well as one of his clerk in her early years, and it was one of her first papers, pointing out if eyes i catholic for example, she disagreed. i think she was a law student, but if the judge disagreed with a decision, in this case talking about the death penalty, saying and -- saying i could not impose the death penalty. they should simply refuse. a justice should not say on the contrary to my religious beliefs but they also mustn't impose their beliefs instead of the law that they are tasked with for an oath of upholding. i think that is the best conclusion. finally, to packing the court questions and the number of cases, and terms of packing the court, republicans have certainly filled the spot available to them, and i think that is what every president has a right to do. however, there's a difference, when we talk about packing the courts, we are invoking the language used by fdr in 1937, talking about a politicized changing of the number of justices to change the outcome in cases. that is something i don't

if you believe in the supreme court decision you have scalia rights. you don't really have second amendment rights. and so the question that our writer our listeners are saying is originalism complicates complicate things i surely the founders could not have envisioned guns that can fire 900 rounds per minute. right right 1776 could fire about every second not only that yet, but all the founders who commented on this issue said the same thing for god's sake. don't freeze the constitution based on our opinions. none of the founders believed in originless. jefferson said if you you know, the the constitution should evolve in its understanding and its interpretation. he said if we go back to to the try to go back to us, it'll be as if i tried to put on the same coat i wore as a child. so that the irony is the doctrine of originalism is something that the founders themselves found unacceptable. and they would be surprised that that's what and think about this in great britain. let's say nobody says what did william pitt think of that? or what did edmund bu

one night in early 2005 at an upscale italian dinner with special guest justice antonin scalia, major donor and corporate lawyer ann corkerry, california real estate tie scoon robin arkley and executive vice president len in order leo got together and celebrated george w. bush's second term. the political importance of the supreme court would have been on everyone's mind there as it was the five republicans on the supreme court would gave george w. bush his first term. according to reporting by open secrets and "the daily beast," this dinner linked to the creation of a 501-c-4 dark money group then called the judicial confirmation network. by the end of that year this group would spend money, lots of money lots of big donor money. and they would spend it anonymously. first to boost john roberts as chief justice and then samuel alito as associate justice cementing right-wing corporate control over the court and shifting its decisions further in big donors' favor. there are a few things to note about the judicial confirmation network's early days. one it began work fast. just months aft

it turned out that young department of justice lawyer was a person named antonin scalia. later a justice of the supreme court. the opinion that scalia wrote concluded that there was no definitive law on the subject. but by custom and practice, he said, these materials belong to the president. some presidents had kept their papers. some had sold them, like grant, to earn money. chester arthur burned his papers before he died. we talked about that during that era that was a very common practice. saxby took the position that if ford didn't send the papers and tapes out to nixon it would be thumbing his nose at precedent, at the history of how presidents had treated this. ford sat back in his chair and said to benton becker, what do you think about this? becker replied, mr. president, i don't care what great things you accomplish in the next 3 1/2 years that are left in your time in office. if you send those records and tapes to california, the only thing the people will remember is that gerald ford committed the last act of the watergate coverup. becker said, you could have

the idea that supreme court justice antonin scalia explained is, quote, the individual citizen has no right to vote for electors of president of the united states. rick hassan explains article 2 of the constitution of the united states provide that state legislatures get to set the manner for setting elections. similarly article 1 section 4 gives the legislature the power, place, time, manner for conducting congress elections subject to override. for the most part we've intercepted this to mean legislatures make the law around presidential elections. state courts intercept the laws like other laws, right? that's how it works. as hassan explained, some are already going no, no, no, no, no. even if the state legislature would be violating the state constitution as determined by the state supreme court, this is the independent legislation doctrine. now, if that sounds a little nutty to you, it is. one implication is if a republican legislature, say, georgia, it believes the election is tainted it can overrule and send it to electors and that's exactly what jeffrey clark was advocating in

they packed it when they held a vacancy open for 14 months following the untimely death of antonin scalia. they packed it when they rushed through the confirmation of amy coney barrett. so the court has been packed. the fact is we have to stop the bleeding right now. we have a 6-3 majority that is hostile to democracy itself. when we pass voting rights legislation, when we pass not just the john lewis voting rights act but for the people act which contains a set of transformative democracy reforms to strengthen our democracy, we won't have a situation where republicans are winning national elections. that's why they're doing everything they can to disenfranchise people rather than meet policies that are popular with people. i don't think we'll see a situation with republicans doing anything with the supreme court moving forward. bracketing that issue, it's no answer as to why we shouldn't act right now to stop the assault on our democracy and the disenfranchisement of a variety of communities not just in terms of voting rights but civil rights. >> congressman, appreciate you speaking out

i'm alone biting citizen, who one who says -- a law-abiding citizen, to one who says -- which even scalia says is not good, which says i have the right to armed rebellion with those weapons. you see these bubbles that start off. might be a person in a community or county or region and get no support. online, these big social media platforms allow it and then it cascades down and we need to have some serious recognition about the role of social media at the very list -- least, we all can agree upon if they put up certain requirements for themselves, i think they need to report on annually. how are they doing. another thing. transparency. facebook just this week said cut off and why you from doing research. if you want to use the information superhighway that was created by our tax dollars, you better make sure that you're applying the rules of the road. so i think it's both a cause and and accelerant particularly because one last point. decline in trust in the communal institutions that hold us together. my son did a beautiful chart that's in the appendices about all that going down and gu
