ONE AND THE ONE COMING IN THE
MID-TERMS AND IN 2024.
THAT’S THE ANGLE.
JOINING ME NOW, SENATOR MIKE
LEE, AUTHOR OF "SAVING NINE, THE
FIGHT AGAINST THE LEFT AUDACIOUS
PLAN TO PACK THE SUPREME COURT
AND DESTROY AMERICAN LIBERTY."
SENATOR, SPEAKING OF THE
COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR OUR
INSTITUTIONS, YOU SAW WHAT BIDEN
DID TODAY IN MADRID.
I WANT TO BRING IT BACK TO
SOMETHING ELSE THAT THE
PRESIDENT SAID OVERSEAS.
>> MOST IMPORTANT THING TO BE
CLEAR ABOUT IS, I BELIEVE WE
HAVE TO CODIFY ROE V. WADE IN
THE LAW AND THE WAY TO DO THAT
IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
CONGRESS VOTES TO DO THAT.
IF THE FILIBUSTER GETS IN THE
WAY, IT’S LIKE VOTING RIGHTS, WE
SHOULD BE PROVIDE AN EXCEPTION
FOR THIS.
>> Laura: THE CONVULSION OVER
THE COURT CONTINUES AND NOW
BEING AIDED BY OUR PRESIDENT
ABROAD.
YOUR REACTION.
>> THIS IS APPALLING, LAURA.
THE FACT THAT HE WOULD GO WHILE
ON FOREIGN SOIL AND ATTACK THE
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES TO UNDERMINE IT AND TO
DELEGITIMIZE IT IS UNPATRIOTIC.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
IT.
SECONDLY, IN SO FAR AS HE’S
SUGGESTING THAT THEY NEED TO
CODIFY ROE, HE’S LYING THERE.
THEY TONIGHT WANT TO CODIFY ROE.
THEY WANT TO PASS A BILL IN
ADDITION TO CODIFYING ROE, IT
WOULD TAKE THE PROTECTIONS OF
ROW ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL THE
MOMENT A CHILD TAKES ITS FIRST
BREATH.
SO NO STATE ANYWHERE COULD
IMPOSE ANY KIND OF LEGAL
RESTRICTION, ANY KIND OF
PROTECTIONS FOR UNBORN HUMAN
BEINGS.
HE’S MANAGED TO BE AT ONES
ENTIRELY HEARTLESS TOWARDS THE
UNBORN AND ENTIRELY INCONFLICT
WITH HIS OWN PRIOR DECISIONS,
HIS OWN PRIOR STATEMENTS ABOUT
ABORTION WHILE AS A U.S. SENATOR
AND OTHERWISE AND MANAGED TO
DISRESPECT ONE OF THE GREAT
INSTITUTIONS OF OUR SYSTEM.
WORSE THAN ALL, THE SUPREME
COURT IS NOT A BAD COURT. IT’S A GOOD COURT.
IT’S A GOOD COURT.
THE FACT THAT IT’S RUN BY MORTAL
HUMAN BEINGS, THEY MAKE
MISTAKES.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR.
THIS WON’T FLY WITH THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> Laura: SENATOR, ED MARKEY
TALKED ABOUT WHY IT’S SO
IMPORTANT FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO
FINALLY GET RID OF THE
FILIBUSTER.
>> THE FILIBUSTER HAS TO BE AMENDED OR ELIMINATED.
AMENDED OR ELIMINATED.
WE’LL SEE SO MANY AREAS, JUST AN
EVICERATION OF RIGHTS.
>> Laura: THE LEFT HATES THE
SUPREME COURT BECAUSE THEY STILL
UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION, WITH
THE JUSTICES ON BOARD.
>> MAKE NO MISTAKE.
THIS IDEA OF NUKING THE
FILIBUSTER IS IN CONFLICT WITH
WHAT JOE BIDEN HAS SAID, THAT IT
WOULD BE A BAD IDEA.
THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO THEIR
SO-CALLED ATTEMPTS TO CODIFY
ROE.
IT’S THE FIRST STEP.
THE REAL OBJECTIVE WILL IS TO
EXPAND THE COURT.
TO PACK THE SUPREME COURT, WHICH
IS AS I EXPLAIN IN MY BOOK, ONE
OF THE MOST DISASTROUS THINGS
THAT THEY CAN DO TO THE
CONSTITUTION.
IT’S ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL.
IT WOULD ERODE EVERYTHING ABOUT
IT.
ED MARKEY, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL
ARGUMENT TEXTS OF THE MODERN
PLAN TO DO IT.
EVERY TIME THIS HAS BEEN
ATTEMPTED IN MODERN HISTORY,
LAURA, IT’S ENDED BAD BY FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
>> Laura: SENATOR, THIS IDEA OF
CODIFYING ROE BECAUSE A LOT OF
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INQUIRING ABOUT
THIS, I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE
LEGISLATION WOULD LOOK LIKE OR
SPECIFICALLY SAY.
I GUESS THERE’S A DRAFT OF IT
WRITTEN.
I HAVEN’T READ IT.
WHAT WOULD THE TWO OR THREE
CHALLENGES THAT THE STATES WOULD
LODGE AGAINST SUCH AN EFFORT
OTHER THAN OBVIOUS STATES RIGHTS
AND THE TENTH AMENDMENT?
>> YEAH, FIRST OF ALL, THEY
WOULD PERHAPS ARGUE THAT THIS IS
OUTSIDE OF CONGRESS’ AUTHORITY
TO ENACT SWEEPING NATIONWIDE
LEGISLATION LIKE THIS.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A HOOK IN THERE
SOMEWHERE.
LET’S SAY THEY USE THE COMMERCE
CLAUSE.
THAT’S WHAT CAUSE USES FOR
ALMOST ANY TYPE OF LEGISLATION
IT PASSES.
ABORTION IS NOT AN ECONOMIC
ACTIVITY.
IT’S NOT AN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
THAT TAKES PLACE ACROSS STATE
LINES TYPICALLY.
SO THOSE MIGHT BE SOME OF THE
CHALLENGES THAT THEY WOULD LODGE
AGAINST IT.
THE LEGISLATION ITSELF MAY OR
MAY NOT BE UPHELD AT THE END OF
THE DAY.
YOU KNOW AS WELL AS ANYONE, THE
SUPREME COURT HAS BEEN
PERMISSIVE AND DIFFERENTIAL TO
CONGRESS.
THAT’S WHAT I TALK ABOUT IN
"SAVING NINE", THE UGLY GIFT
THAT KEEPS GIVING THAT CAME
ABOUT AS FDR’S COURT PACKING
PLAN 85 YEARS AGO.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT THEY
WANT TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT
INFANTACIDE IS LEGAL.
>> Laura: THEY DON’T WANT PEOPLE
TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE
THEIR OWN DESTINYS AND FUTURES
IN EVERY STATE.
THEY HATE THAT.
A LOT OF THEM DON’T LIKE AMERICA
OR OUR FOUNDING DOCUMENTS.
IF THEY COULD, THEY WOULD GET
RID OF IT ALL AND REPLACE IT TO
