- 2:25Speaker 1: sounds was the First monday In october BECAUSE i was
- 2:29Speaker 1: a Big Walter matthol, fan but it was about The Supreme,
- 2:33Speaker 1: court oddly, enough and they are coming to the conclusion
- 2:36Speaker 1: of their current. Session Clarence thomas making the news. Today
- 2:41Speaker 1: maybe we'll get into that next, week because as much
- 2:45Speaker 1: AS i want to like the, guy sometimes he does
- 2:46Speaker 1: stuff that just really makes me, go, huh why would
- 2:49Speaker 1: you say? That and they've got some issues that are
- 2:53Speaker 1: still on the, table and apparently tomorrow being their last,
- 2:56Speaker 1: day there's a hope and, expectation if you, will but
- 3:00Speaker 1: some fairly important things will be decided and we will
- 3:05Speaker 1: have decisions from The Supreme court before they go on
- 3:07Speaker 1: their hiatus for the. Summer returning again the First monday In.
- 3:11Speaker 1: October Heritage foundation was good enough to hook me up
- 3:14Speaker 1: With hans Von spakowski is who's standing by right now
- 3:17Speaker 1: in The Legacy Retirement group dot com phone. Lines first of,
- 3:20Speaker 1: all let me say push the button there SO i
- 3:22Speaker 1: can actually talk to. You my button's not. Working oh,
- 3:25Speaker 1: mo there it, Is. Hans thanks for making some time
- 3:27Speaker 1: on such short notes to. NIGHT i appreciate.
- 3:29Speaker 2: You oh, sure, No i'm happy to talk to.
- 3:31Speaker 1: You we've got what four or five fairly substantial issues
- 3:38Speaker 1: that we're hoping the court's going to hand down a
- 3:40Speaker 1: decision and get this over with tomorrow before they take off.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Right, yes unless they decide not to let them all
- 3:47Speaker 2: out and schedule another day next, week BUT i suspect
- 3:50Speaker 2: they're all going to come out. Tomorrow two of them involve.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Kids one of them is a case out Of, texas involve.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Pornographers texas passed a law that said that if you
- 4:03Speaker 2: run a pornography, website you have to verify that somebody
- 4:08Speaker 2: is an adult before you let them. In they've got
- 4:12Speaker 2: to be eighteen to be able to view. It and
- 4:15Speaker 2: these pornographers got together and formed a group called The
- 4:20Speaker 2: Free Speech. Coalition how's that for a? Name totally fooling,
- 4:25Speaker 2: folks and, said, oh that's just too much trouble for
- 4:28Speaker 2: us to verify that somebody's. Eighteen and that case went
- 4:33Speaker 2: all the way to THE Us Supreme, court and basically
- 4:36Speaker 2: we're going to hear from the court whether that is
- 4:38Speaker 2: a reasonable regulation for a state to be able to put. In,
- 4:45Speaker 2: look it's not any. Different you know there are wineries
- 4:48Speaker 2: and other places where you can actually order, alcohol you
- 4:52Speaker 2: have to verify that you're at least twenty one when
- 4:55Speaker 2: you get into. That but these pornographers are, saying, well
- 4:57Speaker 2: they shouldn't have to do. That.
- 5:00Speaker 1: No, wait here In, ohio we're, ACTUALLY i think it's
- 5:02Speaker 1: still in the legislature right, now but a bill to
- 5:04Speaker 1: require the social media companies to verify age before allowing
- 5:10Speaker 1: accounts for young. People so it doesn't seem, like you,
- 5:13Speaker 1: know when pornography is, involved that this should be much
- 5:16Speaker 1: of a.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Decision, NO i don't think so. Either AND i actually
- 5:20Speaker 2: think this might be one of those cases where all
- 5:24Speaker 2: the justices actually agree on this. Issue it's hard for
- 5:28Speaker 2: me to figure out how the three liberal justices on
- 5:32Speaker 2: The court could somehow think this is just too much to. Ask,
- 5:35Speaker 2: now there's another case involving children that also is going
- 5:39Speaker 2: to be very important to parents across the. Country it's
- 5:43Speaker 2: out of a very liberal school district In. Maryland they
- 5:49Speaker 2: put in a procedure in which they, said we are
- 5:53Speaker 2: not going to allow your kids to opt. Out, well
- 5:58Speaker 2: they call it sex, education but it's not really the
- 6:01Speaker 2: kind of traditional sixth education we. Expect it's basically transsexual gay,
- 6:09Speaker 2: propaganda and they haven't integrated it into the almost the
- 6:14Speaker 2: entire curriculum, there and they used to let parents opt
- 6:19Speaker 2: out of it for their, kids and then suddenly they,
- 6:22Speaker 2: said we're not going to allow you to do. That.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Now the school district said was too much trouble to do.
- 6:27Speaker 2: That yet they allow parents to opt their kids out
- 6:31Speaker 2: of all kinds of other things like you, know physical,
- 6:35Speaker 2: education et. Cetera but they, said, nope you can't opt
- 6:39Speaker 2: your kids out of, This and that again is going
- 6:42Speaker 2: to be a very important case for parents over the
- 6:47Speaker 2: rights of the education with their. Kids and by the,
- 6:49Speaker 2: way very broad coalition of parents sued over, This christian,
- 6:56Speaker 2: Parents jewish, Parents muslim, parents and during the oral, Argument
- 7:02Speaker 2: Justice kagan you, know well the liberals on the court, said,
- 7:05Speaker 2: well she, Said i'm not quite sure you have to
- 7:10Speaker 2: be a very religious parent to want to object to
- 7:14Speaker 2: this kind of education being given to your. Kids so,
- 7:18Speaker 2: again you, KNOW i don't know how it's going to come,
- 7:21Speaker 2: out BUT i suspect that perhaps at Least Justice kagan
- 7:25Speaker 2: may join the other conservatives on the.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Court the number of unanimous decisions out of this current
- 7:34Speaker 1: court IS i don't know if it's record, setting but
- 7:37Speaker 1: it's been a little impressive as of. Late, YEAH i
- 7:40Speaker 1: have faith in, Fact, JACKSON i don't know That jackson will.
- 7:46Speaker 1: To this is not A this is not a religious issue,
- 7:51Speaker 1: really although the litigants are coming together from various. Religions
- 7:55Speaker 1: this is just a very practical common sense. Issue and
- 7:59Speaker 1: we may see a unanimous on. This will, See, yeah we.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Had. Now the other case for waiting for is the
- 8:08Speaker 2: birthright citizenship. Case, now the thing about that case is
- 8:12Speaker 2: it's not before the court to make a substantive decision
- 8:17Speaker 2: on the merits of whether or Not President's Trump President
- 8:20Speaker 2: trump's interpretation of The Fourteenth amendment the citizens clause is.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Correct what happened was that three different courts in three different,
- 8:29Speaker 2: states very liberal, states all issued nationwide injunctions saying you
- 8:34Speaker 2: can enforce your executive order on birthright. Citizenship The Justice
- 8:40Speaker 2: department appealed on the, injunction basically saying these injunctions go too.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Far these judges didn't have the authority to issue, them
- 8:52Speaker 2: and this was of such importance that normally on an
- 8:56Speaker 2: emergency appeal like, this The Supreme court just makes a.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Decision The Supreme court actually scheduled or arguments on it
- 9:05Speaker 2: On may, fifteenth which also is unusual because normally arguments
- 9:08Speaker 2: and In, april and we should get a decision on nationwide.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Injunctions the reason this is important is obviously that won't
- 9:17Speaker 2: just affect this, case because you know what's happened over
- 9:20Speaker 2: the past six, months there have been dozens of nationwide
- 9:25Speaker 2: injunctions issued by judges against actions of the, president and
- 9:29Speaker 2: we all suspect The Supreme court is going to come
- 9:31Speaker 2: out with some kind of decision that lays out what
- 9:35Speaker 2: the rules are for when nationwide injunctions are appropriate and
- 9:40Speaker 2: when they're.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Not this idea that our circuit courts have the ability
- 9:47Speaker 1: to stop a presidential action is it's. Laughable and this
- 9:52Speaker 1: hopefully will be the first step in, nullifying nullifying the
- 9:55Speaker 1: ambitions of many of those people behind the bench because
- 9:58Speaker 1: it's you, know the comparison has been made over and over.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Again if the president sends fighters into to you, know
- 10:05Speaker 1: go After, homosagin is a judge able to say you'll
- 10:08Speaker 1: bring them? Back, no there are some things that are
- 10:10Speaker 1: beyond your, purview stay in your.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Lane, well, LOOK i certainly, agree AND i think most
- 10:16Speaker 2: almost all of these judges they're rogue. Judges almost all
- 10:21Speaker 2: of These, look they're almost seven Hundred Federal district court
- 10:24Speaker 2: judges across the, Country yet these injunctions are coming from
- 10:29Speaker 2: just a small number five judicial. Districts it's what's happening
- 10:36Speaker 2: here is liberal groups are engaging in judge, shopping forum.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Shopping they're going to the states and the locations where
- 10:45Speaker 2: they can find a liberal. JUDGE i, mean, look when
- 10:49Speaker 2: you get an injunction From Washington state on the other
- 10:53Speaker 2: side of the country over something that happened In, WASHINGTON,
- 10:57Speaker 2: dc you know they went judge. Shopping why didn't they
- 11:00Speaker 2: file in the addition Of. Columbia, well because they wanted
- 11:03Speaker 2: to get a particular.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Judge, yes and that should not be happening over and over.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Again and how nobody has called this into question is
- 11:11Speaker 1: beyond me as. Well that's, Uh i'm. Sorry not even
- 11:14Speaker 1: the wheel of fortune spins that nicely to. People there.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Is there's one other and AN fcc situation here where
- 11:23Speaker 1: federal agency is running a. NONPROFIT i don't even get
- 11:26Speaker 1: how that. Works why don't?
- 11:29Speaker 2: Either and the lawsuit says that basically, says, Look congress
- 11:35Speaker 2: didn't have the authority to delegate that kind of power
- 11:40Speaker 2: to an executive branch, agency THE, fcc AND i suspect
- 11:46Speaker 2: the plaintiffs actually may win in their challenge to, this
- 11:50Speaker 2: because in recent years The Supreme court has started being
- 11:54Speaker 2: very leary Of congress giving too much of its power
- 12:00Speaker 2: to independent. Agency so, Yeah i'm hopeful like you are
- 12:04Speaker 2: on that, case BECAUSE i don't really see how the
- 12:07Speaker 2: world THE fcc or any other agency could be given
- 12:11Speaker 2: that kind of. Power that's, like that's Like congress saying
- 12:16Speaker 2: to a federal, Agency, listen we're not going to figure
- 12:19Speaker 2: out how much taxes should be. Imposed we'll let, you
- 12:23Speaker 2: you bureaucrats do. That, well you can't do, that.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Would it be? Nice it sounds very well informed because
- 12:34Speaker 1: he is the man joining Is hans Von. SPAKOWSKI i
