senator, good to see you your reaction to that passag from the former scalia clerk about the lack ofing that the hypothetical harm t the doctors somehow worse than the actual harm to millions of women? >> well, i just love that yo led with the scalia clerk quote, and i think it is so telling because beyond the obvious tha we believe that the women of this country should be able to make their own decisions about their health care with their doctors, and their families, and not politicians. this case goes to somethin pretty core, and that is the people that brought this cas are a group that claims that this is some kind of stress fo them, that this drug be ou there that is you point out ha been out on the market for 2 years, a drug that was oke after four years o consideration by the fda, that is safe in 60 countries, and then suddenly the street dodge one in amarillo, texas, two in the fifth circuit, all trump appointed come out and say, he i don't really think it should be ten weeks, we think i should be seven. we don't think you should be able to get it in the mail, we don't think y

justice scalia stated more than a decade ago now he said certainly the constitution doesn't require discrimination on the basis of sex. the only issue is whether it prohibits it. it doesn't. a little bit of history here, first proposed back in 19233 years after ratification of the 19th amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote 100 years removed from where we are today. fifty years later they finally passed p and it was signed by president carter in 1972. there was a seven year deadline for the ratification. thirty-five states moved quickly including the state of alaska within that deadline. it was extended once in 1982 to give the remaining states more time to consider it, but the momentum waned as other things took precedent. the era didn't go away though. nevada, illinois and virginia became the 36th, 37th and 38 states to ratify between 2017 and 2020. so where we are today, 38 states have ratified that meet the threshold of the three quarters of the states that are needed to ratify a constitutional amendment, but that can't happen because of a technicality because the preamble contains an

. >> even antonin scalia understood that people who are critics should have to do so publicly and notraid of the blow back, if you will. we know this from correspondence between -- i think even rulings between him and thomas, right? thomas offers secrecy and scalia was like this is the home of the braves, stand up for what you believe. and the idea that the court should somehow be shrouded in bubble wrap, particularly at this time where they're issuing some of the most controversial rulings of my lifetime, i think it flabbergasts -- the sense of grievance that was on display in this article it was really stunning, to my mind. >> yeah, it was astonishing. does he not have an aide who can tell them like, hey dude, you have the option to just keep your mouth shut. you don't have to embarrass yourself in an interview that's going to be published in a newspaper. part of what i think the problem is, and if you tie together this silly alito interview with the thomas scandal and all the other news that's going on with the supreme court, judges are supposed to operate not just be completely et

contrast it to what happened in 2016, when mitch mcconnell set upon antonin scalia's death there is notime to have a new justice confirmed until the november election. all those months versus just those few weeks and days shows how donald trump working with his team made such a difference. >> you wrote that his effect on the justices relationships with each other was even at times pernicious as he sowed distress. >> as they were all maneuvering differently inside, to rt of counteract his effort to undermine the integrity of the judiciary. think of the disdain donald trump showed toward the judiciary, even as a candidate. mocking a judge who ruled against him as a mexican judge. he had the one unprecedented clash with the chief justice when he disparaged a judge who ruled against his administration as an obama judge. that is when john roberts said there are no obama judges or trump judges, bush judges. it showed how much the chief and other justices were trying to counteract the idea that justices were not going to be neutral based on their politics. the bottom line is we have a court th

dinner parties the week of the hobby lobb decision, rayburn -- and thomas's boy, his hero antony scaliag lodge funding by rich republican donor. this is all part of the same grift. >> part of the reason that the people are questioning the legitimacy of the court. john roberts has no control of these people, there's no dignity left in the court, few people respect the court a this point they do seem to think that the live in a different world from the rest of us they play like different rules they get to use all this money it is a big difference between saying your wife makes 600,000 as zero. he didn't make an accounting or, he's at zero, that's a admission on purpose it's corruption. >> it's corruption they know that they can ge away within. to bring it back to where yo started, about the doj, abou the senate judiciary committee the republicans know they ca get away with a. the republicans know tha nothing is going to get -- why should they follow the rules? there are no confidence fo republicans to break the rules >> let's talk about this house because you know that everybod black, you

justice scalia for one, has used it many times to go on hunting trips during his, uh, nearly 30 year tenure on the court. um so it's good that the judicial conference the policy making body, the judiciary has clarified thatres of transparency, there's nothing stopping clarence thomas from going back and amending his financial disclosures to give the public a better sense of the types of gifts he's been receiving from people who have a clear view on where the court should be heading. you would think if a justice you know the highest level of the courts, right serves a lifetime appointment. they're not held accountable because they're not elected by the people. they're not held accountable by the people that there would be some kind of binding code of conduct that they're required to abide by. but there is no such thing is that correct? yeah that's right. there's a code of conduct for us judges, the lower court judges, uh, that's been around in one way or another for the past 100 years and was more formalized about 50 years ago, but the justices have rejected adopt, writing and adoptin

we have a robust tradition of states rights in this christian nation where, what, what justice scalia called the, the individual states, the labs are forums of experimentation. we're allowed to develop moral laws that were to be developed not by the congress, but by state legislatures. and therefore you had more or less 2 kinds of states, red and blue. and prior to 2003, it was left to that. the moral legislation to be against pro gay law affair was left up to individual read states. after 2003. you have a force set an illegal i zation of bands on sodomy after 2015 in this country. there is a forced illegal i zation of individual state bands on gay marriage, much as you had a movement to illegal eyes, illegal ising certain vices from the perspective. the decisive perspective of the christian tradition on issue such as contraception, abortion pornography, those were all individual cases that rose before the supreme court under the warren court. 1965 contraception in in griswold versus connecticut. they made it illegal for individual conservative states to illegal ice contraception. 4 y

justice scalia passed away on a trip to a private hunting lodge in texas. there were questions of the time about what he was doing there, who was he with? we were reading about that and got interested in this travel issue, started looking at travel by multiple justices and frankly in terms of how the process works, we at least initially found the most newsworthy material related to justice thomas. i have only been covering the supreme court for 4 or 5 months. it takes a long time to produce these stories. we go where the facts lead us. we are very much still reporting on the court. i encourage anyone who has any information about any justice that they believe is newsworthy to get in touch. host: we talked about how a lot of democratic lawmakers have been calling for investigations and hearings. what has been the response from republican lawmakers? guest: we have not heard too much yet, i believe. senator mcconnell was asked about it yesterday, and he did not say too much. i believe he said he thought that the chief justices could take care of any internal i

neil gorsuch gets onto replace antonin scalia a. that is kind of a wash. there was such a difference. some democrats in the senate thought this would be the time they would have wanted to filibuster and obviously, they could not. >> the democrats would raise the idea of the society of some secret handshake club. it really wasn't that bad. quaint notions like rule of law, it is interesting how much has turned around. i give the credit to president trump. he totally embraced what the federal society has done and other like-minded organizations in d.c., it was not long ago that he was a longshot presidential candidate who talked about judicial selection and the need to maybe put out a list of the kinds of people he would put in the supreme court. quick to things in your book, this is described as a different kind of cat. and that is will entrance from the federal bench cannot be overstated. quick that is aligned that don mcgahn used on president trump. he described president trump as a different kind of cat. i say so is don mcgahn. he is single-minded, discip

in addition, justice scalia said the constitutional defect was in preventing the csiration of the speaker's -- of the intent of the people who burned the cross itse. i thinfr that you can at least say it doesn't establish, it'not consistent with a clear tradition of criminalizing negligent threats. justice thomas: one other thing, there are categories, take for example obscenity. you don't have a subjeiv intent requirement there. why should this -- these true threats receive moreroction than obscenity? mr. elwood: i think especially unr hamlin said had you to know not only the contents but character of obscene merls, which the court described as the conscious purveyance ofilth. in the other case, that was the equivalent of knowing your statements would cause fear. i think that it is entirely consistent with the idea tre is a subjective requirement at least at the knowledge level which is all we are asngor here. >> what about fighting words? mr. elwood: fightingor, people always look to chaplinski that is overreinof a page and a half of analysis that did not clearly presented. what that seec

it's clear that he's not exactly oliver wendell scalia. my guess is he's scared to come before congress. i watched mr. bragg's press conference after he announced his indictment. he was not impressive. i have read his indictment. legal scholars much more qualified than i have have criticized it as being an inferior document. i read it. looked to me like as a legal product, someone knocked over a urine sample. my guess is mr. bragg will not try this lawsuit himself. a good criminal defense attorney based on what i've seen subpar will take his head off. he doesn't want to be naked and alone, not literally but figuratively in front of a congressional committee having to answer tough questions. that's my assessment. >> martha: yeah, just on the legal grounds of whether or not bragg -- whether or not jordan and his committee can compel the manhattan d.a. or someone who used to work for him, mark pomeranz to come down and be subpoenaed about this case, you know, brag is saying that is interference. that is -- not that they don't have the jurisdi

you know, justice scalia who i knew well was every bit as conservative as justice thomas.tice thomas may view as a trader because he is african-american and he has an extraordinary justice. >> the quote they are raising, every single supreme court justice, all nine of them take trips across the country. take trips internationally that are paid for by others. many of the liberal icons took over 100 trips. stephen breyer took over 100 trips. all of the media, all of the democrats attacking justice thomas, they don't care at all. they are not looking at any judges. this is a political smear job directed at clarence thomas because he has an extraordinary constitutionalist in the left hates him for it. >> meanwhile you have justice samuel alito who says he no who leaked the dobbs draft. is it surprising to you that we still do not know who leaked it? >> it is surprising. we need to know. the leaking of that draft was one of the greatest violations of the trust of the integrity of the supreme court of the united states. it was an assault on the rule of law. if they think they kn

it says, justice scalia said, the right to own a weapon is not unlimited. you can read his pull majority opinion there. just to piggyback off what john was saying if people don't want some gun safety laws on the books, can't be compelled by the death of children in schools, 9-year-olds in nashville, 6-year-olds at sandy hook, to do something a little more, maybe to prevent one or two of them what about police officers when you have police officers and police unions, not exactly known over the years as liberal squishes, saying, "we are outgunned. we don't think people should be walking around with ar-15s." when this 26-year-old officer in louisville, two weeks out of the academy, hears gunfire, does his job, runs in and now is in critical condition, laying in a hospital, what do you say to his family what do you say to police officers who are asking, "please, help us out here. we're outgunned now. we are the law, and we are the ones who are outgunned"? >> well, exactly i had a conversation with a friend who was a trump supporter after uvalde we're sitting ar
