Thanks for putting this up. As a "leftists" I am very cynical about the institution of the Supreme Court and do think it needs reform. However, I appreciate hearing discussions like this as it helps to humanize the justices. However, I can't help but recoil in despair hearing the introducing speaker talk about the universal value of human life, as ordained my "God", while the US funds and arms Israeli terrorists, murder and mass bombings. Similarly, it's a massive eye roll to hear Kavanaugh talk about the basic humanitarian values expressed by Jesus in the New Testiment. Even if we take him at his word, that he is as objective an umpire as he can be in applying the law, this doesn't address the reality that the law is written of, by and for property and capital owners. It presupposes a social framework that is antithetical to New Testiment values. One can NOT adjudicate civil law and still say they are following a Christ centered morally. These glaring contradictions are why I have a hard time taking American "Conservatives" seriously.
It just hurts so much it has to happen
10:00 to skip the introduction. Otherwise brilliant interview.
😊
We did not give congress the power to delegate their duties!!! Nor is that a power they were given. XXX Brett. Bad job.
