WEBVTT - Carol Platt Liebau: An Instructive Lesson From the American Left

0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>This is Carol Plattleebel for town hall dot Com. In

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>her new book titled Alito, Molly Hemingway offers revealing insights

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>not just about the Supreme Court justice, but on how

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the lefts take no prisoner's mindset has infected the High Court.

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Hemingway recounts an episode before the release of the Dobbs decision,

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>which overturned rovers weigh with major security concerns, including you

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>may remember death threats. Justice Alito asked the liberal justices

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 1>to expedite their descents. Instead, tensions boiled over. Obama appointed

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Justice Elena Kagan lashed out at Justice Stephen Bryer, suspecting

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>he might cooperate with the majority. No timeline for finishing

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>the descents was ever provided. The left often warns that

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>institutions have declined under Trump, but this troubling account is instructive.

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a stark reminder the left is willing to destroy

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>any institution it doesn't control.
