There's no segue here, so let's go 175 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: to Article three of the United States Constitution. That's the 176 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: judicial branch. Golly, you should know that by now, federal 177 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: judges basically serve for life, but Congress created this incity 178 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: for judges to step down, and judges who reach the 179 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: age of sixty five, if they have enough years of service, 180 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: can take what's called senior status. It's a form of 181 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: semi retirement. A lot of friends of mine who are 182 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: federal judges have because road of farts, have taken senior status. 183 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: Some judges go on the bench and they get they 184 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: get the appointment, and they decide they don't want to 185 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: just truly retire because I always thought I'd be a 186 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: good judge. I always thought I would make a good judge. 187 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: I've got I have judicial temperament. I can see both 188 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: sides of an issue. I try to be fair in 189 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: how I deal with people. And I think if I 190 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: had been ever appointed a federal judge, that would have 191 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: never happened that I would have at some point, at 192 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: age sixty five, I would have taken senior status because 193 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: it is kind of semi retirement. There are a lot 194 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: of professionals I know, including Tamer's dad. Tamer's dad, when 195 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: he decided to quit practicing medicine, wanted to retire. So 196 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: I was going through the process of selling as clinic, 197 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: and the buyer of the clinic was a doctor that 198 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: he had brought in that was working there with him, 199 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: and I pulled him aside, and his name was Rameres, 200 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: and I said, doctor Rameires, I want to cut a 201 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: side deal with you on the clinic. I want to 202 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: make arrangements. I haven't even talked to Tamer's dad about this, 203 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: but I want to make an arrangement so that he 204 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: can maintain his office and that he can still come 205 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: in and work as much or as little as he 206 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: wants to, still see a few pays, not see a 207 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: few patients if he wants to go to Canada on 208 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: a fishing trip, and can go on a fishing trip, 209 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: but if he wants to come in and see some 210 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: patients or for that matter, uh, you know, if you 211 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: have some overflow, and he can help do that, because 212 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: you know he's he was a just a great old doctor. 213 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: And so we agreed. We made that agreement, put it in, 214 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: put it in writing, put it in the in the transaction, 215 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: and sure enough Tamer's dad ended up. I think it 216 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: kept him alive in additional ten years. I truly do, 217 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: because men need something to do. And these judges, you 218 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: think about it, you know, I you know, they deal 219 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: with really intense, high profile cases, really controversial cases, and 220 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: then they get sixty five and they can take senior status. 221 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: Now they can keep a full docket of cases, or 222 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: they can wind down to zero cases and then just 223 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: get appointed to you know, if suddenly there's a you know. 224 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 4: Like. 225 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: Try to think of an example. There's suddenly all take 226 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: take Timothy McVeigh and Timothy McVeigh case gets moved up 227 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: to Colorado to the district court in Denver. And so 228 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: maybe there's a judge that has senior status and they 229 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: want to give that particular judge that case so that 230 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: the rest of the docket doesn't get just overwhelmed by 231 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,479 Speaker 1: that one particular case. And then while they're in senior status. 232 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: Now this may irritate you, but they continue to get 233 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: all of their compensation. They get full compensation. So as 234 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: a practical matter, judges strategically take a strategically time when 235 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:46,599 Speaker 1: they take senior status a designation. Judges appointed by Republican 236 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: presidents are more likely to take senior status when there 237 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: is a Republican president, and those judges who are appointed 238 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: by Democrat presidents are more likely to do so when 239 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: there is a Democrat president. I don't think that's a mystery. Moreover, 240 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,359 Speaker 1: some judges even request, either directly or indirectly, a preferred 241 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: replacement as a condition for taking senior status. One judge 242 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: even withdrew his announcement of senior status when the President 243 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: failed to nominate the judges preferred candidate. Federal judges are 244 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: and I say this with all due respect, because it 245 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: is a obviously it's a very powerful position. It's a 246 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: lifetime appointment, and so it's one where they kind of 247 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: want to, you know, if someone's going to take my seat, 248 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: and it's really not their seat, although it is for lifetime, 249 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: but when they take senior status, they really want to 250 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: know that the person's replacing them is someone that they like. 251 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: Federal judges kind of seem to judge their positions as 252 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: their positions over which they have complete control. And I 253 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: think that's a problem that Congress not to address us. Now, 254 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: this practice that I just described to you took a 255 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: turn for the worst during the Biden presidency. During his administration, 256 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: a law of the Democrat appointed judges predictably announced that 257 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: they were going to take senior status on upon the 258 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: confirmation of their successors. Now, even though the Democrats controlled 259 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: the Senate for Biden's entire term, a bunch of those 260 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: seats remained unfilled come December of twenty twenty four, and 261 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: then shortly before Trump got inaugurated, three judges announced that 262 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: they would no longer take senior status. Judge James Wynn 263 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: junior he's on the US Court of Appeals for the 264 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: Fourth Circuit. Max Cogburn of the U. S. District Court 265 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: for the Western District of North Carolina, and Algernon Marbley 266 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: of the U. S. District Court for the Southern District 267 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: of Ohio. All three judges, in case you couldn't guess, 268 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: were appointed by Democrat presidents. Now the judges offered no 269 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: actual explanation for their decision. Judge Wynn, for example, vrote 270 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: to President Biden that quote, after careful consideration, you know, 271 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: kind of like you'll spend more time with my family. 272 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: After careful consideration, he wrote, I have decided to continue 273 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: in regular active service. Now, what do you think after 274 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: careful consideration really means? It means, oh, based upon the election, 275 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: I've decided, I think I'll stay. So it really should 276 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: be after careful or after further election. I've decided to 277 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: stay since or Tom tell Us of North Carolina said 278 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: that Judge Wynn made this brazenly partisan decision because he 279 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: quote clearly takes issue with the fact that Donald Trump 280 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: was just elected president. There's a group called the Article 281 00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: three Project. I can't say that I'm I'm not really 282 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm not an active member of it, but I support 283 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: them and I think they do great work. The Article 284 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: three Project is how should I sput this? The Article 285 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: three Project filed a judicial misconduct complaint against those three 286 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: judges that I just outlined. The complaint charge that, for example, 287 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: Judge wins decision to rescind his announcement was likely made 288 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: because of the outcome of the twenty twenty four presidential election. 289 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: And they went on to say that this judge quote 290 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: had a change of heart solely because Trump won. Now 291 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: let me just add up parenthetical here, why do you 292 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: think that we're having all of these problems with all 293 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: of these nationwide injunctions? And is there a correlation, maybe 294 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: some causation between the election of Donald Trump and judges 295 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: deciding not to take senior status. Now, this particular judge, 296 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: Judge Wynn, responded to the complaint. He offered no actual 297 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: explanation for his decision to rescind his taking a senior status, 298 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: but he insisted that federal law does not prevent him 299 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: from changing his mind. So he said this quote choices 300 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: about retirement and senior status are deeply personal and often 301 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: influenced by multiple factors. You would think that a federal judge, 302 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: knowing the Constitution, knowing the rules about senior status, ought 303 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: to be able to really come up with a reason 304 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: to defend his action. He's always demanding of lawyers that 305 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: they defend their arguments. So defend your argument, judge, But 306 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: he offered none. He instead insisted that he was under 307 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: no obligation to explain his motivation. He maintained that quote 308 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: no court has ever found it, has ever found it 309 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: proper to inquire to ask about an Article three judge's 310 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: reasons for taking a not taking senior status. And then 311 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: he added accusations of partisanship should not be entertained about 312 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: specific evidence of misconduct. Now, I don't know, but if 313 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: this judge had made the decision for some legitimate reason, 314 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: it would have been straightforward to say that. But he didn't. Instead, 315 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: he hid behind a legal process, and that's one of 316 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: the reasons we got problems with these judges. 317 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 5: Good morning, Michael and a rod Well. Hey, we all 318 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 5: know cameras and radio broadcasts don't really go well together. 319 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 5: I have it on good authority that Michael has the 320 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 5: perfect face for radio broadcast. But you know what, we're 321 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 5: here for it. 322 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: We still love it. 323 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 2: That was an easy layup. I just had to edit 324 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: that video. I already got it, and man, you are 325 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 2: so right. 326 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 3: Texture If I. 327 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: Know it's gonna be on camera today, I would have 328 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: put my makeup on. But you know you didn't tell me, 329 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: so I didn't put my makeup on you. That was 330 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: really funny what I literally told you yesterday. I know 331 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: you told me yesterday. I was just being a smart ass. 332 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: I know, but you never know. With old age, you know, 333 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: things happen. People forget stuff, forget what what do you what. 334 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: Are we talking about? We're talking about federal judges. 335 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,479 Speaker 3: You're gonna have cans tomorrow.

Oh man, but he But the science side comes 364 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: from Tamer's dad's side, because he was the doctor, and 365 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: that's where all the science comes from. Smart the science side, 366 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: the smarts my side. The lawyer's side is smart too. 367 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: Just back off there. The lawyer and the doctor there, 368 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: both professionals, but that the son got those genes, the 369 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: daughter got my genes, and we've all got Sidney Sweeney. 370 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 3: Jeans or we wish sure, let's go with that, let's 371 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 3: go with that.

Maybe I should. 374 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: That's right forever in blue jeans, Neil Diamond, right forever 375 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: in blue jeans. Yeah, that's right. October this year, the 376 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: judicial misconduct complaints against Judge Wynn and those other two 377 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: judges got dismissed. The Chief Judge, Debrah Livingston wrote the 378 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: opinion in every single case, and she found that there 379 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: is no genuine issue of fact. And then she added 380 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: that whether quote the judge considered the outcome of the 381 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: election as one factor influencing his decision to withdraw the 382 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: January five letter, was a factual issue you I need 383 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: not resolve. 384 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 3: Now. 385 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: Had this judge who was hearing this case simply asked 386 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: judge when why he rescinded his senior status, the judge 387 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: could have defended himself with some legitimate reason, but he 388 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: never offered her reason, and she never asked for a reason, 389 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 1: because there is, in my opinion, no plausible, legitimate reason 390 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: he withdrew his senior status simply because Donald Trump was 391 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: going to be the president and I want to be 392 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: there because I want to fight him every opportunity I get. Regrettably, 393 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: this is a brazen double standard for brazenly partisan federal judges. 394 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: The federal courts are always scrutinizing Trump's motivations for improper purposes, 395 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: but when it comes to rooting out judicial misconduct, they 396 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: hide behind a veil of ignorance. And this judge, in particular, judge, 397 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: when I think, has opened himself up to special criticism. 398 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: During the first Trump administration, the Fourth Circuit Court of 399 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: Appeals heard challenges to Donald Trump's travel bands, remember the 400 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: travel bans. A constant theme in that litigation was an 401 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: attempt to try the cycle analyze Donald Trump. The travel 402 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: ban policy, on its face was neutral and it was 403 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: based on very specific legal findings that aliens from certain 404 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: countries posed a national security risk. But judges looked beyond 405 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: the written policy to try to figure out what was Trump, 406 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: what was he thinking, what was he intending? What was 407 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: in his heart? What was in his mind? And then 408 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: one of their favorite pastimes was going over and reading 409 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's posts on Twitter, his tweets, and then the 410 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:56,479 Speaker 1: judges used the tweets to impute an impermissible animus to 411 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: Trump's policy. And that is pre basically what Judge Wynn did. 412 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: In December twenty seventeen, the Fourth Circuit had an on 413 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: bunk oral argument for the travel ban case. Judge Wynn 414 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: asked the lawyer for the Department of Justice about the 415 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: relevance of the president's tweets. The judge asked, what do 416 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: we do with those? Referring to the tweets? Do we 417 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: just ignore reality and look at the legality to determine 418 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: how to handle this case? Now, I know that most 419 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: of the people in this audience are not lawyers, but 420 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: I want you to think about this question. What do 421 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: we do with that those tweets? Do we just ignore 422 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: reality and look at the legality to determine how to 423 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: handle this case? What should be the answer to that? 424 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: You know, yes, the tweets are irrelevant. You look at 425 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: the policy. If you look at the four corners of 426 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: the policy, imagine the policy was written on an eight 427 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: and a half eleven eight and a half by eleven 428 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: sheet of paper. That's what you look at. What Trump 429 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: said about it, what he tweeted about it, how he 430 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: answered a question if press it doesn't make any difference. 431 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: The policy is the policy. In other words, this judge 432 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: was not going to get bogged down with the legalities 433 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: because that might force him to ignore what he saw 434 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: as the reality. Because at the top should what should 435 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,239 Speaker 1: a judge do if the law cuts one way but 436 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: reality cuts the other way? And he was all too 437 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: happy to subject the leader of a coordinate branch of government, 438 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: an equal branch of government, to a now super strict scrutiny. 439 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: But he refused to engage in even the slightest bit 440 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: of self introspection himself. He declined offer any explanation for 441 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: his action. And so the chief judge who was overseeing 442 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: this judicial complaint should have posed the same question to 443 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: judge when the Judge Wynn posed to Donald Trump, do 444 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: we just ignore this reality and look at the legality 445 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: to determine handle how to handle your case? Maybe Judge 446 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: Wynn would have had an actual response to the complaint 447 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: filed against him, but I kind of doubt it. Judge 448 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: Win was all too eager to inquire into the president's 449 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: subjective motivations, yet implores you and me to ignore his 450 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: own subjective motivations in the emoluments clause litigation about you know, 451 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: whether Trump was you know, enriching himself when joined the 452 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: majority opinion that ruled against Trump. There's a shocker, right. 453 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: The judge was appalled that a dissenting judge alleged that 454 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: the majority of the you know, there were three judges 455 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: one descendant, and said, I think the two have partisan motivations, 456 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: insinuating that there was quote something other than the law 457 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: is afoot here? Should the public not see partisan motives 458 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: behind this judge's decision? Uh, you know, kind of like 459 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: the Wizard of Oz pay no attention to the man 460 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: under the robe. No, there just seems to be this 461 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: never ending stream of full outrage about judicial ethics. But 462 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: these self professed experts ignore actual problems when judges engage 463 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: in partisanship. You know, in fact, I may take a 464 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: break here, but let me just tell you be thinking 465 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: about oh, the icon of the left, think about justice. 466 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: Ruth Vader Ginsburg. 467 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 4: Michael, the bare minimum you could do is work a 468 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 4: full week after I paid for the entire package. Just 469 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: to hear you, you and your show and dragon. But 470 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 4: he bailed A Rod's fine too, Jiminy Christmas. This is ridiculous, iHeart, 471 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 4: what are you doing with this guy? 472 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: You know, just because you, as a member of the 473 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: United States Military, never do a full day's work anyway. 474 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: What you know, he's a jag officer, a rod.

He's on a cruise 476 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: out somewhere in the middle of the Pacific and he 477 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: wants me to adjust my schedule to his vacation schedule. 478 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 3: He's on a cruise. 479 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: He's on a cruise. 480 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: What is he doing?

But maybe he's 504 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: got his roaming on. 505 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: Please, for the love do it. 506 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: I would accept he's being paid by the military, so 507 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: he's not I know, he's not making squats, so you know, 508 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: I can't do that. And we know, or maybe maybe 509 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: he told us he's on a cruise and he's really 510 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: on some super secret mission somewhere. Now Rodney's actually down 511 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: in Caracas getting even to invade Venezuela. I don't know 512 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: what he's doing. We never know what he's doing. Yeah, 513 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: that's right, as as you should. As you should. In 514 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, before the election, Justice Ginsburg called Trump a 515 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: faker and she just like Rosie O'Donnell except Misi going 516 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: to Ireland. Justice Ginsburg said, I'm going to move to 517 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: New Zealand if he wins. And today, after the election, 518 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg wrote her dissent to the court. She was 519 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: clearly protesting Trump's election. Yet Ginsburg didn't leave the country 520 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: because I would have given Trump the power to appoint 521 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: her replacement. And then when she actually died on her deathbed, 522 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: her last words were, my most fervent wish is that 523 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: I will not be replaced until a new president is installed. Now, 524 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: is this a gigantic generalization and indictment the federal judiciary? Yeah, 525 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: it probably is. But I know there are some good 526 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: judges out there. But if you ever thought about why 527 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: we're having such a horrible time with things like national 528 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: injunctions and every ruling against going against Donald Trump or 529 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: the administration, Yes, judges are human and therefore they're partisan too.
