4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: Law Brief, exploring legal issues in the news. And Today,

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Law host Gregg's Store and Michael Best discussed the

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: impact that President elect Donald Trump could have on the

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. They speak with two people who have very

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: different opinions on the matter, Elizabeth Widra, President of the

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Constitutional Accountability Center, and Carry Severino, Chief council of the

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: Judicial Crisis Network. Elizabeth, I'm gonna start with you. I

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: know you are very disappointed with the election results. Uh,

12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: now that depending vacancy is going to be filled by

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and not Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, what

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: do you anticipate will be the short term immediate impact

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: on the court. Yeah, we were hoping and looking forward

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: to a potential progressive majority on the Supreme Court that

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: would restore the constitution and course correct for some of

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: these aggressive conservative rulings that we've seen out of the

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: Frits Court over the past decade or so. But if

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: there is a ninth justice that is appointed by President

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: elect Trump to the Supreme Court. We're back in the

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: world that we were in before Justice Lee is passing,

23
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: where we have a five to four conservative majority, but

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: with justices like Anthony Kennedy and Chief Justice John Roberts

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: who sometimes do side with the more liberal justices to

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: reach progressive rulings. So I think right now we need

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: to remember that, Yes, for progressive like myself who might

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: be disappointed that we are not looking forward to a

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: progressive majority, we still are in the world where it

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: is possible to have progressive victories in the court. Well,

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: carry during the campaign now, President elect Trump released a

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: list of judges he said he would consider appointing. How

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: confident should people be that he's going to actually pick

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: somebody off this list when he had when he makes

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: an appointment. Well, I think it was a historic move

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: actually for presidential Elemonee to put a Supreme Court list

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: like that out, And I have confidence in it, largely

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: because we see the impact it did have on the election.

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Many of the exit polls are showing that the Supreme

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Court was the top issue for over one fifth of

41
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: the voters. That is huge, and I'm not sure we've

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: ever seen that kind of influence that the Supreme Court

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: has had on a presidential election of the past. I

44
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: think Trump will recognize that that this is really, in

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: many ways what put him in office, and that people

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: were very concerned about the kind of justice that Hillary

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Clinton would appoint uh, particularly because it would give the

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: Court a solid five vote liberal majority. That's Elizabeth Wider,

49

Speaker 1: President at the Constitutional Accountability Center, and Carry Severino, Chief
