Read it. 355 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: Please be advised. The case of Jane Rovy Henry Wade 356 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: has been accepted. 357 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 3: For argument by the Supreme Court of the United States 358 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 3: of America. 359 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 2: How is this possible? 360 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 3: Must be because Wade said he keep arresting doctors. 361 00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: What do you mean? 362 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 3: Usually it takes years for a case to get to 363 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court. But they can't just allow local officials 364 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 3: to disobey a lower court's orders. So we've bypassed all 365 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 3: the other courts and gone right to the top. 366 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 5: Holy hell, Sarah, we're going to Washington. 367 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: This is amazing.

I 414 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 6: wouldn't have come otherwise, And like any sane man sitting 415 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 6: with three beautiful young ladies, Jesus Christ, I have a 416 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 6: proposal to make what exactly is that, mister Lucas. 417 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: Well, Sarah. 418 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 6: In short, I'm proposing a partnership. I know how to 419 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 6: handle this. 420 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 9: Appeal, as do we. 421 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 2: Mister Lucas, do respect. 422 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 6: Miss Marbley's all evidence to the contrary. You all made 423 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 6: some mistakes in Dallas that we simply can't afford to 424 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 6: make at this level. 425 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 3: I know we goof, but only including da Wade's name 426 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 3: all not just. 427 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 6: That, Sarah. There's lots of things you shouldn't be using 428 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 6: these aliases for your plaintiffs. For one, Roe Doe, it's 429 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 6: not a nursery rhyme. You also didn't present any solid 430 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 6: evidence to support your arguments. You don't want to give 431 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 6: the Supreme Court a reason to send the case back 432 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 6: down to a lower court. And the brief has got 433 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 6: to be much more professionally written. It's got to be 434 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 6: written directly to the specific justices, tap into their biases 435 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 6: and personalities. I know Thurgood and Bill and Warren. I 436 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 6: know what they want to hear. 437 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: So those are things you can help us with, mister Lucas. 438 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 6: Absolutely, Sarah. I have an established infrastructure in my Manhattan offices. 439 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 6: We can write the brief on the case, get your 440 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 6: funding money. 441 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 4: Really, how exactly can you do that? 442 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 9: Did hear him out? 443 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 6: That's all right, Sarah? Can I call you, Sarah? Let 444 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 6: me explain. When I take on a case like this, 445 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 6: it becomes news and it gets done. 446 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 4: Right, we're already news. The Supreme Court is hearing us. 447 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 6: The Supreme Court hears a lot of cases, Miss Markleys, 448 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 6: almost one hundred and fifty last term, and I bet 449 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 6: you can only name a dozen, right. Most of them 450 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 6: just fall by the wayside. When I was at Harvard, 451 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 6: I wrote the first ever article outline in constitutional grounds 452 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 6: for a woman's right to choose. More recently, I argued 453 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 6: the Viewis case, which most of my colleagues believe laid 454 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 6: the groundwork for your case. I've been directly involved in 455 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 6: every major abortion right suit filed across the country in 456 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 6: the last. 457 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 3: Decade, and that's what gets you funded. 458 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 6: And we have benefactors with deep pockets, people who want 459 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 6: to change the laws as much as you and I do, 460 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 6: will use their resources to put a whole team on 461 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 6: this twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. 462 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 6: Whatever it takes will help you research, write drafts of 463 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 6: the brief, prep you for oral argument, and share pages 464 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 6: with you so you can weigh in every step of 465 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 6: the way. 466 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 3: Wow, we sure could use the help. 467 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 9: That's debatable. 468 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 3: You know what did if I weren't the only one 469 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 3: working full time on this case going bankrupt on its expenses, 470 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,239 Speaker 3: then maybe you could have a say till then zip it? 471 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 6: Ladies, do you know how much Brown v. 472 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 2: Board costs to take to the Supreme Court? 473 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 6: Two hundred and forty thousand dollars and that was almost 474 00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 6: twenty years ago. You got that much in your bank account, Sarah. 475 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, we're hardly Brown v. Bored, mister Lucas, that's. 476 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 6: Incredibly naive, Miss Marglis.
