it was the story of thurgood marshall and the naac p's legal defense and fund.e of the best and tells the story of thurgood marshall, african-american, on trains, headed to the south to defend african-americans who had been accused of serious felonies. it was risky. it was dangerous. it was controversial, but it was the right thing to do in the cause of justice. you cannot read that account without coming away with a great admiration for his courage to risk his life for others, which he did time and time again. as they said in the book, he fought countless battles for human rights and antebellum consumers where white supremacy often prevailed. at night when he was out of the courtroom, he had to worry about nightriders and klansmen trying to take his life. it was hard to imagine being an effective attorney worrying at any moment that someone might kill you. i tell that story because i believe there's a parallel here. while vanita gupta was with the naacp legal and education fund she led a landmark effort to exonerate nearly 40 wrongly convicted individuals in a

the last thing i'll say, since senator durbin started with a story about thurgood marshall. i'm going to start with my favorite story about the department of justice and why vanita gupta would be great there. there was a woman in the until 1960 married richard loving in caroline, an hour and 15 minutes south of d.c. because she was black and he was white they violated a state law and after a series of raids on their home, they were criminally sentenced and ordered to never come back to virginia again or they'd be thrown in jail so they moved to washington. this was very tough on the couple not to go back. the couple had their first child and just wanted to go back home so the grandparents could see their baby. they couldn't, they were barred from doing it. mildred loving sat down at her kitchen table and wrote a handwritten letter to the attorney general of the united states robert f. kennedy saying i'm treated unjustly, can you help me. can help me. ... with vanita gupta as the number three at the department of justice my dream for the department of justice would be realize

take this out of the tournament and and agree 100 percent imagine if years ago when thurgood marshall repeatedly went to court after court it was denied and denied the right to end discrimination or desegregation or segregation in schools imagine brown against board of education if somebody would said would you stop mentioning the fact that you have some right courts have already ruled shut up you can't bring this up we have already said you have no right to integration this is un-american you keep fighting until you get what you want i've never heard that this being dispositive that we had the great odds has spoken there is not one thing wrong with this election whether it is or isn't and what's happening is that people do this weird form of we're helplessness are becoming immune to the idea that no you can't keep saying i disagree with this and what it is is these agencies these platforms are if you will agencies or instruments of whatever the shadow government the ruling class the deep state i don't know but you're being used as clenching devices to punish people to get online and

rep women and this idea that we as american citizens cannot contest an election what if they told thurgood marshall years ago listen you better stop going to court because we've already answered this segregation is you know it's american to keep fighting so this is only done by legislation now and that's going to be the call for it who actually is going to be able to do it because we are getting a big tag has some pretty big dollars up on capitol hill in their booth saying that everything which i think it we have learned it back in 2008 the big tech can help win elections or help you lose elections as in they have the last one not getting the word out in the question and you know once again it's kind of like i don't know if i have more hope what do you think are good have a better chance of getting term limits or monitoring big tech where do you think we have a better chance of getting some sort of legislation out of line oh well i think you know you know we never people say you have automatic term limits built in by not voting for that question i think term limits are almost basically pre

i mean, liberal thurgood marshall, i mean, there's not a liberal in the past 100 years that didn't make that point. why is nobody saying that? >> because they're frightened. i think it's been a very clever tactic by the democrats and led by nanci pelosi and joe biden who even talked about trump supporters being white supremacists and violent insurrectionists and the biggest threat to america of all which is domestic terrorists. now, he acted as if there was some enormous threat as if 74 million trump supporters all have these dangerous insurrectionist views. merritt garland, his attorney general, has said that's his number one priority. they're going after republicans. they're calling republicans domestic terrorists. nanci pelosi had set up -- she talked about the enemy within. she has now metal detectors going into the chamber in congress. she's pointing fingers at they are colleagues across the aisle. um, this is deliberately done to intimidate republicans and silence them so joe biden could institute these radical policies to change the country. >> tucker: scariest thing i've ever se

but there's one entity that looks across the entire campus, including the supreme court and thurgood marshall building and can look at -- and can synergy synergyize all these into one. we should have budget level so i can tell you how much the project will cost. by saying things like we should put hardened glass on all doors and all windows in the capitol, that may or may not be executeable. i say this because the capitol was designed in 1790. it first started construction in 1793. it was never envisioned when they first laid the foundation that there would be a 9.7 million ton cast iron dome on top of it. it was expanded. now if you put over a ton of glass on the windows, that may cause structural problems. we need to analyze that before it's just a good idea of putting stronger glass on windows. that's what we do in our studies, to make sure it's an executable project. >> thank you very much. and thanks for your indulgence from chairman, appreciate it. >> mr. cason. >> thank you. two comments and a question. comment to ms. elliott. thank you so much for taking care of our cultural

thurgood marshall visited sandberg, to reminisce and talk with the great american poet. and alfred stieglitz, famous american photographer, visited here. a famous encounter he had in the 1960's was with bob dylan. and bob dylan eight up everything folk music at that time -- bob dylan ate up everything folk music the time and came across carl sandberg's collection and found out carl sandberg lived in flat rock, north carolina, will where he and his band were driving through. so he pulled up unannounced, walked on the porch, knocked on the door and met carl sandberg for the first time. sandberg was in his late 80's, hadn't kept up with more modern music in popular culture, and disappointed the young opulent greatly -- the young bob dylan greatly. he was very respectful and bob dylan had a conversation but was disappointed that carl sandberg didn't recognize him. after carl sandberg passed away in 1967, the department of the interior came to visit misses sandberg, the secretary of the interior, stewart udall, and the national park service was looking for homes from iconic a

have mention justice sandra day o'connor and i think one of the things she said about when justice thurgood marshall joined the bench is how listening to him and his point of view ava insight into things that she had never considered. it did not always change her ultimate decision on something, but it helped her to understand better, different people's experiences. so if you don't have a wide array of experiences on the bench, it is impossible, in my opinion, to treat people fairly. so i think we have to have a very clear representation on the bench representing the demographics of the country and also of the communities in which the judges are serving. >> and thank you, paula. i'm sorry. >> i just said people have a feeling of trust and a fairness, and they can't necessarily get that when everybody looks the same. if i could just tell one story come so interesting because i did serve as a judge for three years and i remember everybody, the sheriffs officer, the court clerk, everybody wears black and when a white defendant came in the court, they said they want to go somewhere else because
