If the chief justice is in the mix. Yeah.

I mean, he has on occasion, I think. But not always. I mean, think about the Dobbs case. This was the case that overruled Roe versus Wade. The chief justice refused to join the five conservative justices in forming a majority to overrule Roe versus Wade. Justice Kavanaugh was in that majority and then wrote like an insane, well, not insane, but like a really facile kind of concurrence. Strident.

Arguing that like, you know, the constitution is neutral on the question of abortion. This is just going to the states and obviously it's just going to stay at the states. Obviously it's not going to stay at the state level because if you are someone who thinks abortion is murder, you can't be okay with California allowing it and Missouri not allowing it.

Like if that's where you are ideologically and philosophically, you have to have a nationwide solution to this. And so I just thought Justice Kavanaugh, Yes, he wants to be liked. By whom? I think that's a toss-up. And there are moments where he's with the conservatives and he's not as independent as some of his other colleagues might be.

So, at this taping, I think we're still waiting to hear what the courts in North Carolina will say about this. But it seems like the only thing Alison Riggs did wrong was win an election. And, you know, her Republican challenger, Jefferson Griffin, which is literally straight out of Tennessee Williams as a character name. It's a great name. I say, I say, I say. Great name.

it's in the vein for sure. You know, he took that personally and it's, she's up by 734 votes and he is asking to throw out the votes of 60,000 North Carolinians, including members of the military who he says failed to file their votes properly because they didn't show ID, which according to federal law, you don't have to do. So this is truly shocking.
