what i'm arguing that he wasn't speer wade -- by taking the extralegal considerations he misfired in that. he miscalculated. we don't know 30 years from now. it's been a year and a half and dpowrt -- the court was damaged by his decision. comments? >> first of all, i enjoyed jeffs comments a lot. i can't say i agree with all of them the way he said he agreed with me. let's talk a little bit about the so-called conspiracy. i wish it was -- i'm glad you recognize the irony of calling out the supposed conspiracy theory monogoring after writing "the new york times" specie piece which was a conspiracy-sounding -- not just the story but the picture itself. there is an irony in jeff objecting to conspiracy theories. let me just talk a little bit about the particular issue in this particular case. i don't know what it was in john robert's mind. i don't know what was going on behind the scenes. i don't know if he was influenced by jeff. it wasn't just jeff it was a ton of abuse that heaped upon the court from the moment oral argument revealed there were probably at least four if not five vote

went bad, and picked a few asparagus that they call in this agricultural area, as stabenow knows, speer grass. i'm not an expert, to put it mildly. i do want to say something, though, personally, about snap. in our suburban district, it's very suburban. there's 48,000 people who rely on nutrition assistance. when i have talked to teachers, and these are in suburban school districts, in many cases, they have a drawer in their classroom filled with food because children come to school hungry. one of the large food banks is in the district i represent. 17% of the population they serve face food insecurity, and 70% of them do not utilize snap, so there is a severe nutrition challenge to millions of families in this country. as you all know, the average amount available is 450 a day. that's the average. with some other colleagues in the house, i took the challenge and lived on 450 a day for a week. i just urge that everybody put themselves in the shoes of these families, and i finish with this. i remember going to a pantry in a parrish that i represent, and talking to the families there, and
