Yeah.
Well, you know, it's interesting about that because polls show that in general, people are not for transgender women playing on girls' sports teams anymore.
But the big question is, how significant is this issue going to be?
Is it more important than prices on health care and groceries?
I don't think so.
And Carrie, let's go back to that Colorado case.
Well, I think that the Supreme Court has been very friendly to Trump.
Long before Trump was on the scene, many members of this Supreme Court, the conservative majority, have been in favor of something called the unitary power of the executive, which means giving more power to the executive branch.
And Trump just happens to be the vehicle for that.
What we're going to find out this year with this court is how friendly they're going to be.
These cases have piled up.
Just look at how many we've discussed today.
There are a
before the court and how the court decides on them is going to determine how our system of government has changed.
We used to have what was supposed to be three co-equal branches of government with checks and balances on each one.
But I think if Trump wins the vast majority of these cases, we're going to have a different form of government where we have an all-powerful executive and a withered judicial and legislative branch for a number of reasons.
Yeah, and this is very important because the White House has gone out of its way to say that the president would not defy the Supreme Court.
That would be a constitutional crisis.
And this is a White House that flexes its muscle almost every day and says that they are unchecked and the president can do whatever he wants.
But on this one, they have gone out of their way to say he's not going to defy the Supreme Court.
