The only legal scholar I'm aware of who's really gone after her is a law professor named Josh Blackman. And I mean, funny story, I literally used to fight Josh Blackman. We used to be in a kung fu class together. I've known him for a very long time.

Yes. No, I literally used to throw punches at him. He has kicked me in the chest before. As a public intellectual, he tends to take maximalist, MAGA-friendly positions on pretty much every issue. And so he wrote a long piece that was very critical of Barrett and suggested that it was a mistake to appoint her. So on the fringes of the Republican Party, you have people going after Barrett.

And the only reason why I think that matters is because people on the fringes of the Republican Party have a lot of influence within the Trump White House. And so there is a real chance that these sorts of criticisms, I mean, Trump can't remove Barrett, she serves for life, but that it's gonna influence who he appoints in the future.

I mean, it's certainly, you know, I never rule sexism out. But like, I think to a certain extent, The Republican Party is spoiled by people like Justice Samuel Alito.

And what this lawyer found was that in every single case,
