or at Eagle Forum DC and
the miss schlafly welcome back to the program
hello time got to talk to you good to talk to you too I i often
reference the thurgood several conversations we've had over the years
about
how r Roe v Wade was wrongly decided and how the Supreme Court has been engaging
in a in be this doctor Nov
a judicial review in a way that
would've horrified the founders of our country um
I'm curious assuming you still feel that way I
your thoughts before we get into this thing about the the parrot Paycheck
Fairness Act
your thoughts on today's my coaching decision yesterday which decision
today the Supreme Court ruled that there are no aggregate limits that to
billionaires
the amount of the number politicians their billionaire can buy basically
there no there are no limits
no aggregate limit yeah there there used to be a limit of a hundred and twenty
three thousand dollars total you could buy individual politicians
you could make donations de Vigo politicians at the rate I think
twenty-two hundred dollars per
for politician and they blew that up if you're not familiar with that the head
bob
I didn't know I'm really not sure apparently I yeah I just haven't had
time to look at the news today
okay that's why will it will it will have that conversation another time but
i i do think there are only some woman sounds extraordinary
yeah I I think it is too so
armed the paid Paycheck Fairness Act back in 2010 you were writing about this
was last time that it was
you know seriously advance now Harry Reid is talking about bringing it back
up again
basically saying that women should have
a deal L legal a fallback
if with a find that their employers paying them less than a man for the
exact same job
a.m. I accurately characterize in law for small no it's not very taxing job
but we all believe in support as the president of
which calls for equal pay for equal work but that's not what a feminist water and
no course
far the Obama administration and his spouse do whatever they want help from a
swan take spectrum really controllers administration
as they would say what equal pay for equal work
now worth is a very subjective statement
you might think go one job is worth more than another
have when you talk about we're still talking about other
condition cert Francisco that might be a part of the job
and that is certain not something that ought to be legislated bahbah the
government
a will leave please come by in terms of remarkably employers and employees
Chur what you and I are both old enough to remember the days out newspaper ads
the said men wanted in women wanted and
and figure out the just opened disparities in the workplace
are based on gender on how do we
if we don't use something like the the the
paycheck protection Paycheck Fairness Act or whatever it's called
if we don't do that how do we prevent
man who both overwhelmingly control the workplace
from discriminating against women not with regard
to money a particularly in this day in age one more more
I'm single women or single mothers are
literally you know the main paycheck or the only paycheck that's providing for
household well whatever purpose is a purpose to get all women in the
workforce
I I don't think that's an appropriate government Cup our first
I think people should have their opportunity to
go for a job with a water cannon 54 do the worst
I but I don't think that we should the craft laws
to make sure the for women getting have to the workforce in equal numbers on the
suggestion that
I'm suggesting I'm I'm asking the question and I this isn't a gotcha
question I genuinely don't have an answer for this
I a.m. I think that though this is what this bill is trying to do
is how do you protect women who are currently in the workforce
who are in a workforce that is
male controlled male-dominated and has a long history
I love pain women less than men I E
in some cases for the same job and in many cases for similar jobs how do we
we've got a whole
federal departments call be4 employment opportunity commission
and almost everybody bureaucrats have the job making sure
that women getting equal pay for equal work and I think that's a
good Laren as the a repartee a bureaucrat you're dealing with that
so what is the problem the service
you know a lot a lot a man take women control the workforce said
a I don't know anybody at any rate there are plenty of women
who I simply don't want same treatment as man
for example most women don't wanna work before we could man worst
a man want full-time jobs wherever you want the ability to
a not cross and a to a shorter hours
so they can stay home with her family and do other things
so i'd like the ability to knock it off take shorter hours to I think I am
so you know there is this new phenomenon have learned a new word in recent years
as hyper comme
I'll when women get married say what they don't want to
as they really like the gender gap they wanna marry a man who earns more than
she does
hyper gimme about Hyde Park MA
and what does that word mean it means that the woman wants to marry a man
who makes more money than she does %uh know that when she
she has a baby you're she just tired of the rat race in
is the workforce I shouldn't take off for work fewer hours
well I can you know I can understand someone in feeling that way I can
understand some men feeling that way you know money Tim
marry a woman who's a so overwhelmingly women who feel that way
yeah okay well I be that the Kia or not I it
okay I i think that we've probably hash this one out I'm I'm curious
if we can go back to where we started your thoughts on
on judicial review these days on the on the idea that
I mean the first I various seventy years our republic
it only happened twice that the supreme court said we have the right to strike
down laws passed by congress once in
1803 N and a
a always a mob reverses Madison and then the second in 1856 in Dred Scott and we
all know how that worked out
on but now that's pretty much all they do is basically make law
what are your thoughts on that today well I don't know my book is this a
processed
these judges get to think they're supporting over everybody also and I
don't think they are
and I think we I we now have all these
the premises judges that are knocking down the state marriage laws
and I think it's an outrage and I think we should act the way
Great Scott dead as a way to overcome their about Prescott
well know this Supreme Court handed down the worst recession on record
and said that Dred Scott to was serve
the property of his master well alright
a his a late-term said well okay
how we have to go along with whatever the
to the core group called about that poor guy but we don't need to make it a
national rule
over cuz if we let the chicago is a Supreme Court
make national rules like that we will not no
will no longer be a self-governing people and will be subject to that
everyone tribunal
mmm and I i think these is equal
quarter just outlined that's why I call them supremacist I didn't
American people shouldn't the should stop it I absolutely love it
I have say in fact I think that's one of the biggest crises that we face is a
democracy is that we now have
a constitutional monarchy we have 9 monarchs
here in washington DC three blocks from where I'm sitting who
who basically are making our laws rather than we the people
I wonder what can we do about this we have just a lil a minute left phyllis
schlafly wanna make sure we don't appoint
we don't confirm any more Obama judges okay
because his judges are the right ones he's appointed
are are there some promises type what about an article writers but article
three section to sort a solution where congress regulates the Supreme Court
well sky was over regulators Supreme Court but what Congress can do
is to withdraw jurisdictions over those areas where we don't trust the court
name and we don't cross from to remake the definition of marriage this topic or
to job that the legislative function
right and we don't trust what they've been doing on a lot of religion Koester
ion kno the Boy Scout for me know lot of other things
yeah hi I'm I'm ready I you know I mean we may disagree on some of the
individual issues but in principle
um I am totally with you phyllis schlafly Eagle farmed out or
