1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Law Podcast. I'm June Grosso. Every 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: day we bring you insight and analysis into the most 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: important legal news of the day. You can find more 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: episodes of the Bloomberg Law Podcast on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: and on Bloomberg dot com slash podcasts. It's been coming, 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: applauded by some, dreaded by others, and today marks the 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: official end of the federal government's net neutrality rules. Those 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: are the regulations that required broadband providers to offer equal 9 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: access to all content on the Internet, enacted during the 10 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: Obama administration. Joining me as Brendan Carr, Commissioner at the 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: f c C Brendan, if the FCC is notified of 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: service providers blocking, throttling, or pay to play deals, what 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: will it do? Well? Thanks for trapping me on. You know, 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: consumers are passionate about a free and open Internet, and 15 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: that doesn't change today with our decision. If a provider 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: does engage in that conduct as you just described, that's 17 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: going to remain unlawful today as it did yesterday before 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: our decision went into place. What shifts is now the 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: Federal Trade Commission, the nation's premier consumer protection agency, will 20 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: be taking that enforcement action as opposed to the f 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: SEC taking the action. Nine states so far have enacted 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: net neutrality laws or governors have signed executive orders, and 23 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: there's pending legislation in other states. How does a patchwork 24 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: of rules affect the national picture that the FCC voted for. Well, 25 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: I think one thing it shows is the tremendous amount 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: of common ground that there actually is here on net neutrality. 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: There's not a lot of disagreeing about what the basic 28 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: rules of the road is. No blocking, no discriminating, no 29 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: broken promises. Your point also goes to those should there 30 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: be a patrick of state laws that do that, or 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: should we have one national law. For my part, I 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: would certainly support Congress stepping in and codifying these basic 33 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: rules of the road that there's really no disagreement about 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: what we face. Of the FEC was something very different, 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: which is this application of this ninet title to regime 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: that was used in service of trying to get to 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: those basic rules. So you you mentioned that you you 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: know you would support Congress. The Senate has already passed 39 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: a resolution to reinstate the rules with bipartisan support. Democrats 40 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: are less than fifty votes from advancing a resolution in 41 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: the House. What's your reaction to that. Yes, that's one 42 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: um effort that we're seeing in Congress that I don't support. 43 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: And here's why. That approach would restore the Title to 44 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: based approach to net neutrality. There's actually other bills that 45 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: have been introduced in Congress, in particular by some Republicans 46 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: that would take those rules, those basic rules the road 47 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: that we all agree about and trying those into law. 48 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a better way to go. Let's get 49 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 1: those basic consumer protections that there's no real disagreement about 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: in place, but let's not go back to this title 51 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: to regulatary regime that opposes a lot of negative consequences 52 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: in terms of investment and deployment. Well, if you agree 53 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: about those consumer rules, why didn't the f SEC put 54 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: that into effect when it repealed the law. Yeah, there's 55 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: no real there's not a lot of debate about the rules. 56 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: What we face at the FCC was, again, there was 57 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: this Title two regulatory framework that the f SEC applied 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: in the very first time and then use that new 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: authority to hang those very specific rules off of So 60 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: what we did was we reversed that decision to apply 61 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: that broader title to framework. With that, the rules that 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: were attached to it also went away. And so now 63 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: there's a question of what's the best way to get 64 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: that back in terms of authority. You can do that 65 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: through the Federal Trade Commission, or you can do that 66 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: through Congress passing standalone legislation. But our view is that 67 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: we didn't have the legal authority to put those rules 68 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: back in place once we return to a Title one framework. 69 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: So the f SEC is facing a court challenge over 70 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: whether it had the legal authority to repeal the net 71 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: neutrality rules that's by that two dozen state attorneys general, 72 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: advocacy groups, and industry groups. Where does that stand and 73 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: what's your position there? Sure, yeah, there's a number of 74 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: legal challenges that decision, as there were legal challenges to 75 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: the decision as well. Our decision to repeal Title two 76 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: stands on very firm legal ground. In fact, returning to 77 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: Title one, that's the only legal framework that the Supreme 78 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: Court has weighed in on and blessed. When the Commission 79 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: applied Title one back in the early two thousand's, that 80 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: case went up to the Supreme Court. In the Supreme 81 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: Court blessed it. So I don't think there's any real 82 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: issue with our legal authority, but happy to have those 83 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: court cases play out. Were you surprised that there was 84 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: such a negative reaction by so many people to your 85 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: repeal of the net neutrality rules? You know, people are 86 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: really passionate about it, and I support that. I'm I'm 87 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: I welcome it. I'm glad to see that people have 88 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: participated so robustly in our process. Again, I think the 89 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: differences we were faced with a narrow legal question about 90 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: is title to right or is Title one right? And 91 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: I don't think people are as passionate about that distinction. 92 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: But when it comes to the basic rules of the road, 93 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: as you note, I think that there is a lot 94 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 1: of common ground on those rules the road. When people 95 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: fear that those basic protections they've come to live by 96 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: are about to go away, that they're pretty fired up 97 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: about it. I think again, that's just the distinction between 98 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: Title two and the basic rules of the road that 99 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: I think are going to continue to stay in place today, tomorrow, 100 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: and the next day. Are you relying on the various 101 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: companies to to follow their pledges of not engaging in 102 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: anything that would hurt consumers that we discussed before. So 103 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't think that we should trust our I s 104 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: p s to dictate our online experience. I don't think 105 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: consumers want to be fully subject to the winds of 106 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: the I s P and we're not. We're not going 107 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: to that regime. So if an I s P, for instance, 108 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: enters into an agreement to act an unfairly or a 109 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: non neutral way by discriminating in favor of an affiliated 110 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: or unaffiliated provider, that's gonna be per se a violation 111 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: of Section one of the Sherman Act. So no, we're 112 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: not relying purely on the good graces of an h S. 113 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: And now we're not relying purely on the disclosures. Although 114 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: those are enforceable, there's additional consumer protections that are in 115 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: place as well. We have just about fifteen seconds here. 116 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: What would you say to consumers who are worried? I 117 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: hear you. I understand that there's a lot of concern 118 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: out there, and it's really been the fears of flame 119 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: have been flamed fanned by some misinformation. The fact is 120 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: you're going to continue to be protected online. You're not 121 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: at the whim of your I s P. Strong consumer 122 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: protections remain in place. Thank you so much. That's Brendan Carr, 123 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: Commissioner at the f c C. The Supreme Court upheld 124 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: Ohio's aggressive voter purging law today by a narrow five 125 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: to four vote along partisan lines. Joining me is Bloomberg, 126 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: new Supreme Court reporter Greg Store, Greg What did the 127 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: court decide? Specifically, Hi do what? What the Court decided 128 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: was that, Uh, this procedure that Ohio uses didn't violate 129 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: a nineteen law that's colloquially known as the Motor Voter Law. 130 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: That law says U states should try to eliminate people 131 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: off the voter rolls if if they're they've moved, or 132 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: if they shouldn't be on there, but they can't remove 133 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: people just because they didn't vote. And the Supreme Court 134 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: looked at Ohio's procedure, which basically involves, UH, if you 135 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: don't vote one time, they send you a postcard saying, hey, 136 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: do you still live here? And if you don't return 137 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: that postcard and don't then don't vote a couple more times, 138 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: they will remove you. And the Supreme Court said that 139 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: was not um removing somebody from the data from the 140 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: voter database just because they didn't vote. So what is 141 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: the history of this. So the history of it is 142 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: is this law was designed to basically make it easier 143 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: for people, uh to to register to vote, but also 144 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: to encourage states to take some steps to clean up 145 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: their databases so that the people who who so people 146 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: who want to vote can vote and and uh, people 147 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: who aren't supposed to vote don't vote. And that that law, 148 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: like a lot of laws, had some provisions that sort 149 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: of cut both ways, and it was trying to it 150 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: was the court trying to figure out how that applied 151 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: to this Ohio procedure. So the liberal justices here voted 152 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: as a block in descent. What was the descent focused on? 153 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: So there were two descents, and Justice Stephen Bryer's descent, 154 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: which which was written for all four of them, was 155 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: was kind of technically focused on the language of the 156 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: three federal law and and whether Ohio violated it. And 157 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: he essentially said, look, when you send somebody this postcard 158 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: and they don't return it, that doesn't mean anything. That 159 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: doesn't mean a whole lot. There's all sorts of reasons 160 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: why they might not return that postcard. Um and in fact, 161 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: the statistics show that very few people do the other 162 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: descent was written just by herself by Justice Sonya Soto. 163 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: Mayor and um hers looked at the bigger issues about 164 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: voter suppression and essentially said, this procedure UH puts a 165 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: burden on people when they're trying to go vote, and 166 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: UH therefore we should be very skeptical of it. So 167 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: how about this play out in politics and in the 168 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: midterm elections. So there are about six states that have 169 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: fairly similar procedures that might have been at risk had 170 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: the court gone the other way. UH. Those states will 171 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: be able to use their procedures. Now, it's not a 172 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: huge number of people that are affected, but in some 173 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: states like Ohio that can be closely divided, it can 174 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: make a difference. So two years ago, UH, a federal 175 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: appeals court UH barred Ohio from using its law and 176 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: in fact counted the ballots or the counting of the 177 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: ballots of people who otherwise would have been barred under 178 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: this procedure. UM. And it's easy to imagine and a 179 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: close election that that could make make a difference in 180 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: in some closely divided states. Greg this was a case 181 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: where the Obama administration had opposed Ohio's law and then 182 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: the Trump administration reversed that position and supported Ohio. It 183 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: was Democrats versus Republicans as far as the Amiguus Briefs 184 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: of the States are concerned. Why was this case a 185 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: proxy for the partisan fight over the country's election rules. Well, 186 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, it was what what I mentioned before the 187 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: Justice so Mayor was talking about that this notion that 188 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: these purging procedures are not there in order to the 189 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: argument that they're not there in order to protect against 190 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: voter fraud or anything like that, but to make it 191 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: harder for people, in particular liberals and low income people 192 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: and racial minorities to vote. And uh, it ends up 193 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: sort of fitting into that that battle over whether the 194 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: bigger thing we should be worried about his voter suppression 195 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: or voter fraud. We are in the home stretch of 196 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: a Supreme Court term and we're expecting some cases that 197 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: have really been high profile and controversial. And this is 198 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: the sixth time the Liberals have voted this term as 199 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: a block and have dissented as a block. Rather, does 200 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: that portend future votes in controversial cases coming up? There 201 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: will certainly be some future votes like that. There have 202 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: also been some cases where the Court has managed to 203 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: gloss over a few differences. UH. For example, the masterpiece 204 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: case for the Colorado Baker case from last week, where 205 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: two justices from the Liberals were able to join UH 206 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: with their more conservative colleagues in the majority. Um it. 207 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: There are cases like the travel band, cases like mandatory 208 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: union fees, where in cases like partisan jurymandering where you 209 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: have to imagine there will be some sort of ideological 210 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: divide on the court. Whether the ends up being five 211 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: to four, whether they can come up with a broader coalition, 212 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: that remains to be seen, of course. So we have 213 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: the term where Justice Neil Gorsich has replaced the late 214 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: Justice antiin Scalia. Do you see any any change here 215 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: or do you see just the same five four split 216 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: that we saw for so many years. It's pretty much 217 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: the same five four split. Um, you know. And if 218 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: if Justice Corsi resembles anybody, it's probably Justice Scale in 219 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: terms of his vote patterns. So the one time where 220 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: he did join the Liberals was a case involving a 221 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: deportation provision where he, perhaps as Justice Scalia would have said, 222 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: this provision is not specific enough to UH to apply 223 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: it to somebody. It's too vague um in order to 224 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: it's too vague to be used to justify deporting somebody 225 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: or subjecting them to mandatory deportation. And that's the kind 226 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: of vote Justice Scalia may have taken, may have cast 227 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: as well. But basically, when we're looking at the most 228 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: of the cases that are dividing the Court along ideological lines, 229 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: he is justice course, which is very much joining joining 230 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: his conservative colleagues. All Right, well, Greg, we're gonna be 231 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: hearing from you on Thursday again because the Court announced 232 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: today that it's going to be having sessions have issuing 233 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: different decisions then as well.
