conservative voice on the high court, and how this could be his time to make a pivotal stand on the supreme court. talk to us >> keep in mind it was about 30 years ago the last time the supreme court heard a really big abortion case. and then the court upheld the core pinnings of roe vs. wade. over the years, over and over again he's criticized the abortion jurisprudence. he could very well be in the majority, and that goes to show you how far this court has moved to the right. and that's what's going to be fascinating to watch next term. >> which takes us to president biden because he potentially could have a possibility here to put nominee on the court. there's a lot of speculation. you've talked about this so much that justice steven brieer could step down from the high court, create an opportunity for president biden. a lot of folks say they don't want another situation like ruth bader ginsburg where a lot of folks hold onto the next administration and it ends up being a republican administration. >> will he stay or will he go? on the one side brier has a history with these conservatives on the court. he

used the "n" word in a nonderogatory way. nobody objects to that. what they object to is the fact that a white supreme courtstudent repeats the nonderogatory use. what is really absurd about this case is that the students are saying in the petition that you can't use this word irrespective of context. but they use the word in their petition which they have circulated all over the country. nobody is objecting to that. no one is saying they have done anything wrong, but if a white student is reading that petition and reads the words that these students have used, that becomes a racist act. i'm sorry. that is absurd, michael. >> professor scales, is the word necessary in both the supreme court opinion, which i've read, or in the use in an academic setting? a case like this, it's a criminal case, does it somehow add value? does it somehow add meaning that would be missing if it were sanitized? >> i think in many cases, it does. in this particular case, it does lend substance -- it adds texture to understanding what the defendant was saying and this leads to the technical issues in that case. in a law class it m

>> we just filed our petition, us and 12 of my colleagues, 12 states. 13 of us to the u.s. supreme courte in and defend these rules and defend the statute. the biden administration dropped the defense of this. multiple cases in multiple circuits. as a result of the biden administration's policies the public charge rule has been gutted. this is something that is a statute that has been on our books for 100 years. the trump administration defined it in their way meaning you can't have welfare and childcare. it's a common sense rule trying to protect taxpayers at the same time trying to protect the public. >> harris: quickly what do you say to the squad, the congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and others who will fight back and say but that's not the humanity thing to do, the humanitarian thing to do. what is your comeback? >> i'm a first generation american. my family fled communism. what the biden administration is doing are undermining immigration policy. having millions of people come into this country being exploited by the cartel. fueling the cartels more money is dangerous for eve
