We have a constitutional, and in this case, Article 9, Article, you know, all these various titles coming in that are federal law. And under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, the civil rights laws, federal civil rights laws, trump state laws. And so there is a legal basis for enforcing federal law over the states. And as I say, it goes back to the 50s when the shoe was on the other foot.

Again, if the state of California, they would never do it. But if the state were to say, we're not going to permit black athletes from participating in basketball because they're too good and they, you know, or dominate the sport, we would never tolerate that for one second. We would never tolerate. We need more diversity in the NBA. No, that's meritocracy.

I think ultimately the Supreme Court is going to have to uphold the withholding of federal funds from states and other institutions that violate federal law. It has nothing to do with the particular case. It has to do with the dominance of the supremacy clause. Without the supremacy clause, you couldn't have the United States of America. There would be the Confederate States.

... reign supreme. Otherwise, we're back to the Articles of Confederacy. And that didn't work. And so some of us may not like the way it's being used. And in my family, too, we fight like children about transgender athletes. There are many points of view on that. And it seems to me that President Trump ran on that theory. And the majority of Americans support it. And the law seems to support it.

So whatever you think of the policies, I think we're going to see ultimately the Supreme Court upholding most of these Trump initiatives, but demanding that they be done with due process, that they not have shortcuts around the constitutional requirements of due process of law.

He can't stop it, but he can punish it. And that's what he's threatening to do. I suspect that we're going to see, because of the politics of California, they're going to go through with it. That gives the governor of California and others a domestic political victory. And then we'll see Trump impose some punishment that gives him a national victory. And we're going to see that.

And I think there's going to be a conflict throughout the country between various titles of the Civil Rights Act and what people think is the right thing. I helped to draft the title of the Civil Rights Act that applied anti-discrimination provisions on college campuses to Jews. And that was unpopular with some people. But it's now the law. You're incredible.
