1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: In her New York Times op ed, the columnist Michelle

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Goldberg accused Republicans of bad faith. She mocked Republicans for

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: being shocked at Democrat plans to play constitutional hardball by

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: packing the Supreme Court. She says constitutional hardball is how

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: Republicans play, so they have no right to complain. Now,

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: in her mind, Democrats are victims President Obama's lower court

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: nominees in Merrick Garland, they were blocked. She says that

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: Democrats are champions of equality, while Republicans are a bunch

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: of racists who have opposed pro civil rights judges since reconstruction.

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about equality. The Republican Party was born to

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: counter Democrats. They were the party of slave owners the KKK.

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: If it weren't for Republicans, the civil rights legislation of

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: the sixties would not have passed. Democrats were blocking it. Now,

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: let's talk about hardball history. Judge bork he was smeared.

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: He was borked by Ted Kennedy. Justice Thomas smeared by

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's Judiciary Committee. Justice Alito smeared. Justice Kavanovis objected

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: to the most despicable smear campaign judicial history. Republicans have

18
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: never played that kind of hardball, not with Justice Soto,

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: mayor Justice Kagan, or even their liberal icon Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg,

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: no matter how far left their nominees are. And no,

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: we're not shocked when Democrats play hardball and descend into

22
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: the sewer. That's where you have to go to meet him.

23
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: We expected m
