It's good to be with you.
It's deeply disturbing.
You know, in order to be disappointed, you have to be surprised.
And I'm not surprised.
You know, the Supreme Court has been enlisted really as co-conspirators.
This far-right Supreme Court enlisted as co-conspirators and accomplices in this extremist far-right march.
But it's a harmful ruling.
It's going to undermine the judiciary's ability to really rein in Trump's lawless agenda and to hold him accountable.
And they've really just become nothing more than a rubber stamp for his extreme agenda.
And I think Justice Sotomayor really said it best.
I'll paraphrase.
I think essentially what she was saying is like, no right is safe under this new legal regime for the courts.
Yeah, that's the problem.
And the courts are supposed to be a check on the president.
But again, they've been enlisted as co-conspirators and accomplices in this march towards authoritarianism.
So it's deeply disturbing.
I hope they ultimately strike down the constitutional executive order on birthright citizenship and uphold the 14th Amendment.
But these days, whenever we know that a number of rulings are going to be coming out, we're all sort of holding our breath, embracing for impact.
Well, you know, I'm somebody that in order to chart a path forward, I like to look back.
And what history has shown us is that appeasement does not work.
