what is it about the supreme court and its decision making that you in texas have now decided is so unacceptable? in 1973, seven old men on the usrt ignored 200 years of precedent and created the right to terminate a pregnancy. it was not in the constitution. if you read the words, the due process clause says that people cannot be deprived of due process of law. that's what it says. but with respect, what's in the constitution is the legal supremacy of the supreme court. you are choosing... no. you are choosing to try and undermine the supremacy of the supreme court. it's called supreme for a reason. what's in the constitution is that the constitution and laws are supreme. the role of the supreme court is debated and it will continue to be. we respect the supreme court. you'll note... you'll note that ever since 1973, beginning in the �*80s, �*90s, even the 2000s, the supreme court has limited, has scaled back roe vs wade, because technology has taught us so much more about the development of the little baby. and technology tells us that babies can live earlier in the process. and so the supreme court has been chipping away at r

supreme court. marshall did not really want this job. but he took it because no one else would . with all due respect to my hosts, the us supreme court was a professional dead-end. in 1800, the court heard an average of six cases a year. mostly cases of little consequence. justices spent most of their time riding around the country hearing circuit cases in taverns and having to share a bed with strangers. the supreme court was so insignificant that the designers at the capital forgot to build a courthouse. though marshall court met in a nondescript senate office, a set of committee rooms on the ground floor of the capital building in which they had to share with the district court and thecircuit court. the supreme court didn't have a home of its own force until 1935 . marshall in the federalist judiciary faced an implacable enemy in president jefferson. jefferson had personal as well as political reasons for hating marshall. jefferson was marshall's cousin and their families had feuded bitterly for two generations over the inheritance that jefferson's father had appropriated from marshall's grandmother. perhaps marshall

the us supreme court has refused to block a law banning most abortions in texas. tuesday, makes it illegal to terminate pregnancies after six weeks, even in cases of rape or incest. it's the most dramatic restriction so far to the roe versus wade judgment of 1973, which legalised abortion across the united states. 0ur correspondent in washington, nomia iqbal, has more. this texas law basically allows any individual to sue those who help a women get an abortion. now, the supreme court was asked by pro—abortion rights groups and providers to block this law. but in a ruling, that was dominated by a mainly conservative bench, they voted to keep it in place. the bench did not comment on the constitutionality of this law, which basically leaves it is open to potentially be appealed. experts are worried that other states could bring in similar laws which would eliminate the guarantee of roe v wade, which is of course the landmark ruling which legalised abortion across america in 1973. it is a huge milestone for lots of pro—life groups that exist in this country that have

what is all of this, tell us about the supreme court and politically appointed justices and the impact that they're having on when yeah, i mean, it tells us everything about the court unfortunately, you know, i think any last legal scholar clearly is able to look at this law and see, see it for what it is, an attempt to undermine nearly 50 years of precedent to lie in the face of the us constitution. and really to just tell the supreme court, we don't care what you have said. we are going to push out ideological leanings and we cannot have is what we have now, which is a court that is saying, if you will agree with us, then you agree with our political leanings that will go forward and allow you to, to move forward with laws that are unlawful, and so what this leaves is the opportunity and really a need for congress and also the state laws as well. to step in there is a bill called the women's health protection acts which would create federal right to abortion. and because what we cannot have is that women's rights and reproductive rights and rights generally just be at the whim of 9 j

with us again tonight, neil cottier who is the former acting solicitor general who has argued dozens of cases before the united states supreme court for being with us, because we need your clarity on this. what did chief justice john roberts mean in describing this as unusual and unprecedented. >> well, ali, the bottom line is that the supreme court basically gave a thumbs up to the overruling of roe versus wade, so abortion clinics as of yesterday in texas are essentially closed to all patients. and what the court blessed for texas yesterday can be enacted tomorrow in other states and indeed will, and other states are going to say that they will try to enact such legislation, and what the chief justice is referring to is that this is a really weird texas scheme and outlawing abortion after six weeks effectively, and the state is not going enforce it, and instead, it allowed vigilante justice. so if you like take an uber to the abortion clinic, and this law says that you can sue the uber driver and sue them anywhere in texas, including far away from their homes and seek $10,000 in damages against them and plus attorneys fees which
