it's side start with uh... the uh... supreme court decisions this week um...
and then
uh... ahead into uh...
talking about uh...
what happened in the texas state legislature because
uh... and i want to start when we won't
the uh...
i think the did the meaning of the these are both monumental decisions um...
uh... i think
but the voting rights act of getting to the voting rights act and the the death
of uh... uh...
the defense of marriage act and
they're both monumental and they obviously
sort of ahead in uh... different directions one news incredibly
regressive
uh... and that one is uh... well overdue and and and in many respects um... let's
and it happened
about forty percent character is
illogical say that's a pretty in court
you know with corey aren't on nato unki right when court was terrible and
bodywork we need to remember is that eight people were on the james side of
both of them
so
really nothing changed except for one night note
poor people were terrific
uh... and and where you were worried that were fantastic and and i've been
mario i would mostly status or
supreme court justices on the left side of center
have been very good on most things
uh... and they were once again on on these two things any for a regressive
not
uh... you know we're pretty much exactly where you expect them to be in again
approved white so important that
that we replace you know it became clear again up in the late seventies and why
we replace them
the people were progressive because
you can't count kennedy and on gave him the right to an abortion rights another
thinks he's a great weekend here in there but let me parable of a variety of
their finger voting rights
and he was
uh... school a provider dissenting lap at a little bit hopefully
and the fact that he freaked out potentially
day after
he determined what congress cream
kundu something anymore you were saying about the school is the senate where
he uh... in one case
spoke about how we can't really trust the legislatures work on uh... the
voting rights act
uh... on the other uh... he said we can't trust them when it comes to
discriminating against gay people listen to it
but any attic flutter yeah
great comp
he cautions such strong language there was a sort of walkable i mean he is
language was touch he said
we know what that that we're we're acting like we are the supreme divine
body
you know ok picking our guidance over the legislature special language like
that when it came to the government jst
and of course voting rights
i mean has broken that it was paul campos over a card
uh... the most absurd argument whether tariqmir injuries in your life in
general the artwork the scream orchid which is essentially
it's working too well select stop it
paid leave it on a diet and you've lost weight after eating garbage again it's
worked too well while you still doing it
riding on the new york
you no longer needed well you've lost the way
right maybe calpers distributor market even reading well i mean and you can
probe
you should go back to what you're doing what right
uh...
you know it's i think it
uh... you found herself before uh... hard-driving uh... in in too much of her
every dangerous
action because your
you're driving with your eyes closed in krajina thing but we start keeping your
eyes open and he's been anymore
if you go back to close your eyes like truck and daily
income of about and of course hardly sticker and even with uh... you know
even uh... as as wrong as the construction of the metaphor was the
fact is is that they did not really look at the data i mean that this is what's
really stunning is that in the uh... shelby case they didn't even really look
at this
the the actual the the the data in the actual case
days certainly did not do is a comprehensive of the uh... fact-finding
mission is the senate in uh... the house did it back when they we offer rise the
voting rights act in the mid to thousands
uh... enso this why
is really
uh...
this one
is an incredibly naked decision in terms of of why there go about this and it let
you know within literally no within
days of that um...
that ruling we see and
some of the worst uh...
of those laws which were struck down
by video jay and then the courts in the uh... in through a section five
uh... a process
they're being reinstated
abide as those states and
you know the real question is in some quarters
uh...
i it's interesting the way that people are reacting to this in some quarters in
that well the backlash is going to be so strong that this may in fact uh...
doomed the republicans
to be coming even if
or uh... isolated
or of the sort of the geographic and narrows cycle graphic uh... constituency
because
you know when you combine this with immigration which now looks like it's
going to fail in the house
uh... by hooker crock
um... the
the cargo when it comes to a republican indeed the the
the the game plan seems to be
let's double down on their own racial polarization
to see how far this is going to take its ameen
can help them
i mean that's what's clear is
looking to you know day do there are people that know
the day after pander to this crowd and let me give you an example someone
who i used to have to respect for right now hold in order to stain which is
uh... this posted a few reasonable
the senator robb portland for market here of ohio
um... you know who's a reasonable chalice republican he voted against
immigration reform he believes background checks
he came out rogue for gay marriage when your son
penalized son was gay
i came during a fight for it but of course he did that so apparently
today sunday clinton immigrate over from mexico maybe we shouldn't be fourth upmc
because he realized he didn't elderly people even most of these rhetorical
whatever he realizes already pissed off
the crazy tea party traction with what he's going to a marriage
so you're going to go to the far right on everything else to try to appease the
morning occur when he runs for re-election
that he didn't get pulled one by the person but this other fraction of the
party the or the wanted to talk about masturbating fetuses in women getting
rate kept could cleaned them out
inaugurating
pgs program grassroots
stupid people speeches no other way to put it there not educated bierig
there'd gum and they're they're in the last
century it'll representative what what
science or or medical science or acknowledge combined knowledge of where
we're going to the people
to this is the stuff that the that day but you can realistically districts
throughout the country would he be able to make sure that they had gotten enough
of them elected into power
and and again with the comments as well the bomb
if the people that would that be realized this
away outnumbered by the people there just too darling to bigoted decanter
job you look at this week if you look at them on their reaction to gay marriage
if you look at them any reaction to immigration
and you look at them registered their reaction the voting rights and the
reaction again to one twenty t_v_ student access all groups we've been
talking about
in overall but specifically single women
mary lim is poised swing group in dollars if you look it f_b_i_ that
hispanic-american easy in american
african-americans who were just calling enormous numbers from a reminder issue
back south by african-americans
the certain states terms they cleaned georgia and texas
uh... that warren buffett well-being swing state return x eight years or so
perhaps sooner uh... when you look at uh... you know what day spandex who
turned already kits like new mexico and colorado into democratic state
at least in that case colorado and r dot
swing states in new mexico uh... what it was once a swing state is now out
currently democratic state arizona were looking at your demographic nevada
it'll mean democratic state next hit weekly obviously cant
help themselves
and he manage in this week to remind all these groups that the democrats and
progresses particularly don't do a good job of publicizing with reminding every
one of these groups quietly who these people are that heat them
it loads of them
then uh... that's in their failure in the nation after when they won't have to
in many cases
but i think we're poor is right and i think there will be a backlash to if you
could have handled correctly
and there should be
it's too didn't you didn't do the clearly assault
on very specific groups of people
yeah it's going to be um... a it you know apartments interesting case too
because you know what one has to think that in poor man's mind these the the
gutting of section four
or is uh... it could very well help him in the short term
when it comes to elections in ohio this is one of those states where the uh...
racial polarize asian that's involved and uh... you know there's been a long
history of
of suppressing uh... african-american votes in ohio uh...
again by halted work harder because it
he really cut-rate state laboratory rodeo dot before pennsylvania
and coherent you can give you can contrast that boat yet they do it
doesn't matter too much but for an alabama or even three african-americans
in utah
but uh...
here if you can call after you're right
it may help warm in the short term it's going to kill his party and old yeah i i
think so ami minimal and and hope springs eternal uh... you know with we
are
we're seeing the dissident in some respects that the last gasp i don't you
know i i don't know it'll be interesting to see is uh... there is some
some fix to end and just to reiterate the folks section five it is the section
of the voting right act
that uh... that that speaks about uh... the need for
or pre-clearance
in about uh... twelve fifteen states and then uh... uh... budget counties around
the country
that must pre clear their their changes devoting oil
wills based upon
and those states and counties are
numerator id by a
uh... formula that is laid out in section four they invalidated that
formula which essentially follows out uh... section five because as of now no
one is subject to section five for i should say formula particular back to
cars that come with a new poor wheeler and of course all of you know
that right away people
like steve stockman and and louis ko march and michelle bachman i'm steve
came in and we're working hard to enact new formula so they can move forward
with a
and uh... um...
it would be made in the car to the contrary likely make of that happening
kalina again proved what we know what what and kept meaning reading the book
in this country
but he likes to use two dollar words in his in his dissent
uh... is writing and the rest
but he's not just the same sort of spoiled angry child as he showed in that
doma uh... defendant that that the rest of the people are you guys are you just
got their little sooner than the tea party corrupted in this country
but you can review being green
white male uh... cool fun any justification he's a politician in a row
which you know he's proving a candidate and they can accomplish a big or equal
protection for george bush greatest not now for anybody else
he noted that decision on on antibody cutting one hundred years of campaign
finance law
decision time cutting you your your oblak
uh... doggone on fire with this country now a decision on voting rights cutting
fifty sixty years of war on that
the pattern activist
uh... juror you know it uh... judge i don't know what it's right on personal
you know that they're they're politicians and they're doing what they
think i can get away with click click and uh... lend
anybody can kill discipline twenty what would they be should be done
what this country's going to each of you have all the voter suppression
now about to hear what some of my car and permanently on this
initiative at discipline cord thought they were biased against he's cooking
counties will then maybe every county should ask request exactly actually just
fine with that
