Must Watch: Justice Amy Coney Barrett sets the record straight on the majority's message to the American people in the Dobbs decision: “The central message of Dobbs: Dobbs did not render abortion illegal. Dobbs did not say anything about whether abortion is immoral. Dobbs said that these are questions that are left to the states...What Dobbs says is that those calls are properly left to the democratic process, and the states have been working those out.”

WATCH: John Kennedy: “You said, ‘assault weapons may be banned because they’re extraordinarily dangerous and are not appropriate for legitimate self-defense purposes.’ Tell me what you meant by assault weapons?” Biden’s Seventh Circuit judge nominee Nancy Maldonado: “I’m not a gun expert.”

Must Listen: Justice Alito reveals the obvious irony of citing the Black Codes as justification for Hawaii’s 2023 firearm restriction law. “They wanted to disarm the Black population in order to help the Klan terrorize them...they wanted to put them at the mercy of racist law enforcement officers. So is it not the height of irony to cite a law that was enacted for exactly the purpose of preventing someone from exercising the Second Amendment right, to cite this as an example of what the Second Amendment protects.”

Must Watch: Justice Amy Coney Barrett on the problem with Roe v. Wade’s precedent: “It was a free-floating, free-wheeling decision that read into the Constitution...Roe told Americans what they should agree to, rather than what they have already agreed to in the Constitution.”

![Justice Clarence Thomas explains that he respects precedent, especially when it aligns with the law and legal traditions, but he believes precedent must be overruled when it fails to uphold the Constitution. “Let’s just take for example...do you think that Plessy [v. Ferguson] was right? That was a precedent for almost seven decades, do you think you should have just followed it because it was already decided?”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1973495778313199762/amplify_video_thumb/1973495571974369280/img/zJqKukG0ao-MIOCt.jpg)

Spot on: Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Bishop Robert Barron discuss Justice Antonin Scalia’s philosophy that “the judge who always likes the results he reaches is a bad judge”: “The Constitution is our highest law. It’s a ratified document. If I read into it what my preferences are, rather than interpreting what it says, I’m not being a judge.”

Must Watch: Justice Clarence Thomas explains the proper role of a judge and recalls sound advice the late Judge Larry Silberman gave him many years ago: “When I first became a judge, Judge Larry Silberman...said, ‘Ask yourself before each case: What is my role in this case as a judge?’ Notice how that limits you, not as a person, not as a Catholic, not as a policymaker, not as a husband, as a judge.”

Must Listen: Justice Gorsuch questions the attorney for fired FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter on basic executive functions: Justice Gorsuch: “So even some quintessentially executive functions, in your view, are not vested in the president of the United States?” Amit Agarwal: “They are not constitutionally committed to the person of the president and to his sole and exclusive discretion.”

Senator Josh Hawley: "Do you think it's wrong to discriminate on the basis of religious faith?" Biden’s district judge nominee for D.C Loren AliKhan: "Absolutely." Senator Hawley: "Then why did you argue that religious services and religious people pose a greater risk of infection than people gathered to argue for defunding the police?"

Must Watch: CBS News’ chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford destroys the overreported “legitimacy crisis” narrative being pushed by the Left to smear the originalist Supreme Court justices: “There is a narrative that the Supreme Court is corrupt. We saw that emerge in the wake of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade...Not only is that narrative overreported, it is patently false, and it is dangerous for the institution and the public’s faith and confidence in the rule of law...It’s profoundly wrong to say corruption where there, in fact, is none.”

If you think Justice Clarence Thomas would ever bow to the left-wing mob targeting him, go back and watch this legendary clip of his 1991 confirmation hearing: Senator Hatch: “What’s Clarence Thomas going to do?” Justice Thomas: “I’d rather die than withdraw… not for the purpose of serving on the Supreme Court, but for the purpose of not being driven out of this process. I will not be scared. I don’t like bullies. I’ve never run from bullies. I never cry uncle, and I’m not going to cry uncle today whether I want to be on the Supreme Court or not.”

Jasmine Crockett tells a crowd in Martha’s Vineyard that “once the Democrats get control,” they must “get bold” by expanding the Supreme Court, passing “ethics” reform, and eliminating the filibuster. Translation: The Democrats will run the same playbook — undermining the Supreme Court and our Constitution — in order to push through their policy objectives.

Justice Alito’s questioning about whether states could ban political candidate attire highlights the core problem with Hawaii’s default ban on firearms on private property open to the public. Whether it is the First Amendment or the Second Amendment, a state policing constitutional rights is clearly unconstitutional.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett takes a sledgehammer to the Left's false narrative surrounding the Dobbs decision. The Court's majority did not rule that abortion is a social ill; the justices upheld the Constitution and their established roles by returning the democratic process to the states.

Justice Scalia’s speech about the Holocaust is important to watch today: “The one message I want to convey today is that you will have missed the most frightening aspect of it all, if you do not appreciate that it happened in one of the most educated, most progressive, most cultured countries in the world.”

Must Watch: Justice Amy Coney Barrett shares her experience clerking for Justice Scalia. The sharp-witted lion of originalism left a lasting legacy on the Supreme Court that can never be replaced. “He had a larger-than-life personality...walking into the Court every day felt like such a privilege.”
