THE COME ON, IS THE TOOTHPASTE
OUT OF THE BARN?
OR DEMOCRAT NEEDLESSLY RAISING
THE TEMPERATURE?
HERE WITH ME TONIGHT, UTAH
REPUBLIC AND SENATOR MIKE LEE
WHO’S BEEN ON THE SUPREME COURT
SHORTLIST MANY TIMES.
THE AUTHOR OF THE BRAND-NEW BOOK
SAVING NINE, FIGHT AGAINST THE
LEFT AUDACIOUS PLAN TO PACK THE
SUPREME COURT AND DESTROY
AMERICAN LIBERTY.
HOW DID WE GET HERE, SENATOR
LEE?
>> WE GOT HERE BECAUSE DEMOCRATS
HAVING TRIED AND FAILED 85 YEARS
AGO TO PACK THE COURT ABANDONED
THAT PLAN FOR A FEW DECADES BUT
RECENTLY THEY DECIDED THEY NEED
TO START THREATENING,
INTIMIDATING, DEMEANING AND
DENIGRATING THE COURT’S
LEGITIMACY BECAUSE THE COURT
DOESN’T DO WHAT THEY WANT IT TO
DO.
AS A RESULT, THEY ARE WILLING TO
DELEGITIMIZE THE COURT FURTHER
THREATENED TO PACK IT AND A LOT
OF PEOPLE INCLUDING CHUCK
SCHUMER HAVE SAID THINGS LIKE
YOU WILL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES,
YOU HAVE UNLEASHED THE WHIRLWIND
AND YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE, HE
WON’T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU.
I WANT TO BE THERE IS A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT CHUCK
SCHUMER SAID AND WHAT THIS CRAZY
MAN DID SHOWING UP TO BRETT
KAVANAUGH’S HOUSE BUT IT’S UNFORTUNATELY PARCEL OF THE SAME
UNFORTUNATELY PARCEL OF THE SAME
EFFORT TO THREATEN, INTIMIDATE,
HARASS AND DENIGRATE AND DEMEAN
AND ISOLATE THE SUPREME COURT
JUSTICES WHO DISAGREE WITH HIM.
THIS IS WILDLY INAPPROPRIATE AND
WE HAVE TO PUSH BACK HARD.
KENNEDY: DO THINK SOME OF YOUR
FELLOW SENATORS AND OTHER
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE STOKING
ANIMOSITY AGAINST THE COURT
BECAUSE IT TAKES THE EMPHASIS
AWAY FROM CONGRESS TO PASS LAWS
THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE AND PUT
MORE ON THE SUPREME COURT, THUS
RAISING PRESSURE?
>> I THINK SOME OF THAT HAPPENS
AND I ALSO THINK FAR TOO
ACCUSTOMED TO HAVE THE SUPREME
COURT DO THE LEFT’S WORK FOR THE
LEFT.
WITH ABORTION FOR EXAMPLE, THEY
TOOK A DEBATABLE MATTER AND
MOVED BEYOND DEBATE.
THE LEFT COMMANDEERED THAT IN
ROE V. WADE, NOTHING IN THE
CONSTITUTION THAT MAKES IT A
CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION YET THEY
WORKED IN TAKING IT BEYOND
DEBATE.
THEY BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO IT,
THEY ARE RELIANT ON IT AND NOW
WHEN IT APPEARS TO BE
DISAPPEARING THEY HAVE TO
THREATEN THE INSTITUTION THAT
CREATED THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THIS IS ALL VERY WRONG BECAUSE
WE NEED OUR COURTS TO BE
INDEPENDENT DECIDERS OF
QUESTIONS OF LAW.
IT IS THE ONLY JOB AND WHY WE
GIVE THEM THEIR TENURE, THEY ARE
THERE TO BE INDEPENDENT AND
INDEPENDENTLY DECIDE WHAT THE
LAW SAYS TO RESOLVE LEGAL
DISPUTES.
KENNEDY: WITHOUT ANTICIPATING
WHAT THE REACTION MIGHT BE FROM
IRRATIONAL PEOPLE AND SOMETIMES
VIOLENT PEOPLE AND I DON’T THINK
THE ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE A
GOOD JOB OF TAMPING DOWN THE
RHETORIC THAT’S THREATENING SOME
OF THE MORE CONSERVATIVE
JUSTICES SO WHEN WE COME TO A
CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS IF
DEMOCRATS DECIDE TO PACK THE
COURT, DO REPUBLICANS DO THE
SAME UNTIL THEY HAVE A
MATHEMATICAL MAJORITY?
AT WHAT TIME DO WE COME INTO A
CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS?
>> THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WILL
HAPPEN.
SIGNIFICANTLY IN MODERN HISTORY
REPUBLICAN’S HAVE NEVER DONE
THIS OR THREATENED THIS BUT WILL
IF THE DEMOCRATS DO IT.
I EXPLAINED THIS AT GREAT LENGTH
FROM OFFICIAL AND THE A TIT FOR
TAT THAT WILL RESULT IN A
ONE-WAY TRAGEDY OF THE SUPREME
COURT SO IF THE LEFT DECIDES TO
ADD FOR ADDITIONAL JUSTICES SO
THEY GET THEIR WAY ON THESE,
GUESS WHAT WILL HAPPEN THE NEXT
TIME MAJORITY SPLIT IN CONTROL
OF THE WHITE HOUSE WHICH IS
STILL REPUBLICAN.
WE WILL ADD ANOTHER FOUR OR SIX.
BEFORE LONG THIS WILL GO IN A ONE-WAY BUDGET FORMATION BECAUSE
ONE-WAY BUDGET FORMATION BECAUSE
YOU CAN’T REMOVE PEOPLE PRIOR TO
THEIR RETIREMENT RESIGNATION OR
IMPEACHMENT REMOVAL, YOU CAN’T
REMOVE THEM UNTIL THEY ARE
FINISHED, YOU CAN’T ELIMINATE IT
WHILE THEY ARE THERE SO THAT’S
WHY IT’S A ONE-WAY RATCHET AND
IT LOOKS LESS LIKE JUDICIAL BODY
MORE LIKE INTER- GALACTIC SENATE
STAR WARS MOVIE BECAUSE IT WILL
BE A POLITICAL BODY.
KENNEDY: WELL SAID.
ANOTHER FINE BOOK, I LOVE THE
BOOKS YOU PUT OUT, YOU’RE ONE OF THE FEW CHAMPIONS OF LIBERTY AND
THE FEW CHAMPIONS OF LIBERTY AND
