Congressman Jaime Radkin is a true miracle of intellectual property. Amazing, wonderful progressive. We need him to help us organize for a better America and democracy.
Congressman raskin, I was so scared when I heard that you had cancer. But now after watching you recover I have never been more happy than to see you thriving!! Thank you so much for still coming out for the American people and having the optimism to carry on in this most dark difficult time in our history!❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙
Absolutely-- ditto @slinkydragon11. Congressman Raskin when you sat down and was introduced, I thought wow! He looks so healthy. Your face is Fuller, your hair has grown back, you don't look tired. Wonderful to see and to listen to you. Be well! 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
What a brilliant intellect. I can listen to Jamie Raskin all day long. I think it’s absolutely nuts that there are “no checks” on these justices with their lifetime appointments.
I agree Jamie didn't stop fighting for us. He's a remarkable man. I don't know the musician who sent Jamie the Headwear. That was so wonderful. Jamie wore them well.I love ❤️ this remarkable human. ❤️
Thank you Congressman for your patriotism, love of our country, our Constitution, liberty and freedom. Gives me hope for the future of our sacred laws 🇺🇸
I'm an almost 80yrs Black Lady, and had been to quite some interviews/conferences, and, absolutely this is the best of my whole life. The questions, the answers, the critical analysis on both sides; how much I had learn based on the form and message of every minute of it. You both are excellent. And, you Mr. Raskin are a God sent to this Nation, I lost a beloved son and had asked myself how this Man could collect himself to immediately continue to serve excellently his Nation, well now I understand: God had been taking special care of You in order to help save all of us.
79 year old white lady here and you expressed your thoughts and mine very well! Jamie Raskin is a person of extensive knowledge on the Constitution and can help lead this country to a brighter less corrupt future!
Jamie Raskin, you are the wind beneath my wings 🥰 I want to sincerely thank you for EVERYTHING you’re doing for our beloved country. I’m awed at your morals, conviction, depth of knowledge and your love for our democracy.
Retired, Constitutional Judges should be brought together to be temporary backup for the 'frozen' SCOTUS, while SCOTUS is indicted and processed as appropiately.
@@andrewpinson1268 I became a Baptist about 50 years ago. . .well, maybe not that long ago, but almost. Our youth pastors and pastors started talking to me about Supreme Court Justices from day 1. It was as important as the gospel to them. I don’t know about Mr. Whitehouse, but I know some people have been eyeing the Supreme Court for a long, long time.
@@alibobo2009 The word went out several years ago when more and more conservative - originalist - justices were being put on the court that the democrats needed to go after the justices by any means. If you have been watching you can see all of them. IF the majority of justices were liberal there would be No - NATA - talk against any of the justices. Whitehouse is one that was chosen to do some of the Congressional attacks on the justices. Like hundreds of fleshed out conspiracy theories from the right and left he has done his best. I have looked at a good number of his videos and have searched in other places to see if any should be considered valid. Not a damned one of them.
Honor is the one word no one uses anymore. The founders had to have honor to write those words. It was a necessity in colonial life, or we would have not beat england and its unfair treatment to those honorable people. Jamie has honor, ty Sir!

Congress Man Raskin, we all feel the frustrations all you well meaning Americans face with all these Theocratic proponents are posing on the Democracy in a free world America Today.! We are looking up to you to bring These Junky Trump lackeys to accountability for the sake of the future of America.
Trumpism is not going away with the 2024 election. It took deeply entrenched in our culture. It is promoted every day by right wing media. Politics has become the MAGA BLOOD SPORT
@@115foxron8you know as a Senior citizen myself I don't really care too much about the age of a candidate. I know that I am older than most people in Congress and older than any member of the Supreme Court and I'm hanging tight with President Biden. While my body might not be in the same shape it was when I was in my twenties and thirties my brain sure works a hell of a lot better than back then. Biden's age doesn't bother me as long as he's not showing any signs of dementia or other mental decline the way trump's is. There's a huge difference between an aging brain and a dementing brain and Biden is an example of the first while trump is an example of the later. I'm speaking as a retired member of the medical field and I know the difference when I see it. So unless Raskin should develop some sort of mental instability not related to age I really wouldn't worry about his fitness to serve in any leadership position as he ages. At least not related to him being mentally unfit to lead. He survived cancer during his time in Congress and he has shown quite clearly that he can lead even under the most difficult and trying of situations and I have supreme confidence in his ability to do so no matter how old he is.
That the Supreme Court has such authority to change the face of American jurisprudence and politics is not just frightening but truly terrifying and I as an American feel so completely helpless to do anything about it. This can not be happening in this day and age. In my considerable years I have come to believe that we had come so far from the America of my youth but for this to be happening right in front of my eyes makes lie of everything I have always believed to be true. As a Senior citizen and once proud American I have great shame for the direction this country and the Supreme Court in particular has gone in recent years. I'm a lifelong Democrat from the traditionally red state of Texas where one of my greatest memories is of my mother holding me up so I could see then Vice Presidential candidate Lyndon Bains Johnson at a campaign rally in Austin TX and I can remember how hard my momma cried when President Kennedy was shot in Dallas in his motorcade as it passed through the streets of downtown Dallas around Dealy Plaza. My aunt Merle, my Momma and my Mammy,(my name for my grandmother because I couldn't say Granny) all gathered at Mammy's house and sobbed as the younger children played outside but I stuck closer to my momma since I had never seen them so distraught. Not even when my daddy was killed by a drunk driver had I seen her crying like that and it made such a huge impact on me. When your earliest memories are tied to instances of such great political events in history you know that I grew up in a very politically active family fueled mostly by strong women who valued their right to vote above almost every other aspect of their lives. My mother's beliefs greatly influenced my brothers and I and we all registered to vote the moment we were old enough to. I skipped the eighth grade and was a member of the National Honors society and I gained that honor not just because of my grades but because during the Nixon scandal my math teacher decided to hold a discussion with the class about what we understood about Watergate and I alone carried on a heated debate with my teacher, (who was either a staunch Republican or playing a very convincing role of Devil's advocate) which the rest of the class found terribly boring and made impolite noises and stage whispers about what a suck up and a know it all I was etc etc etc. Well while my passionate arguments as to Nixons criminal culpability and lack of fitness to serve may have fallen on deaf ears as far as my fellow students were concerned my knowledge of what was going on and savagely opinionated and emotional debate with my teacher did gain me the chance to advance academically and a place in the honor society. My choice of career had nothing to do with politics but I have never forgotten how important and hard fought even the right to vote was for the women who came before me is and because of this historic backsliding in advancement in voting rights in the last few years I have realized again that as Americans we can never take our rights for granted. There's always going to be some faction somewhere just waiting and watching for the opportunity to take those rights away from us. And it's not going to stop there. Once they are allowed to get their foot in the door by whatever means necessary they will continue to pick away at all of our rights. Be it through bribes to high ranking officials,( the Supreme Court among others) outright lies all the way to violence and this is really nothing new in America but rather something that I had grown complacent about and had convinced myself somehow,(though my own experiences with politics from a very early age should've been enough to keep me aware) that we were passed this kind of thing happening here and I guess I just got old and let my guard down. But democracy is a fragile thing dependent on the good will of man who want the best for themselves as well as their fellow man. These people on the highest Court in the Land want the best for themselves and those who will continue to make their lives profitable and they care little about the average American citizen. trumpty dumpty ran on a promise to drain the swamp well that's one idea he got right. However my idea of just who it is that's slimy and murking up the water is very very VERY different from his. Rankin's ideas for expanding the Court and initiating term limits and giving each president two nominations to the Court are all wonderful ideas but we have to do something about the monster in Congress who are making any kind of meaningful policy's impossible and doing little for the American people and instead just profiting from making fools of themselves and preventing Congress and the President from doing anything for the American people as well. If we're really going to drain the swamp then we need to pull the plug and let all the water out exposing each and every single swamp monster in the government and judicial system all at once before they come up with a plan to disguise their actions through misdirection lies and we all know how good they are at that. But look at Justice Roberts. He's not even trying to defend himself anymore. He knows there's nothing that anyone can do to him and no possibility of his ever having to answer for his actions. So he doesn't even have to put up a defense. What can any of us do? It's more important than ever in history for every single one of us to get out and vote. As for me even if someone has to roll me up in a wheelchair I will be voting for Biden in November. And I will be voting for Democrats in every single race just as I have for the past 50+ years. My Momma didn't raise no fools! P.S. I apologize for any typos or misspelled words. I was asked to watch the grandkids right in the middle of writing this and I became a little confused about where I was when I got back to making my comment. So if you find any mistakes in spelling, punctuation or tense please excuse an old woman for them and try not to use simple grammatical errors as proof of my not knowing what I'm talking about. I know how the minds of MAGA work. They look for anything, no matter how small, to pounce on and use as evidence of anyone who doesn't agree with them as being stupid or not understanding the law. I am neither. But I am old so cut an old lady some slack if you find the occasional typo or incorrect punctuation etc. Although it's only the trolls who actually ever seem to notice those types of things since the average members of trump's cult and just your average right wing extremist doesn't have the educational experience and understanding of the English language to even realize that a mistake has been made. They're working with a third grade level of education and awareness so I probably didn't even need to make this disclaimer but just in case some troll is just out there looking for someone to make look foolish I'll say it again, My Momma Didn't Raise No Fools!!!!!
Republicans promote ignorance. Red states have very low quality educational systems. Stupidity keeps folks re-electing republicans candidates. It’s disgraceful and pathetic!
I totally agree with you. I’m a senior citizen of 80 yrs old and I can relate to the history you described. Trust me you have no problem with your spelling. I have noticed that many young people do not know how to spell correctly.
@@howlalongwithspot6785I can not agree more with this opinion. Three justices clearly and knowingly perjured themselves and two are criminal insurrectionists. Why do so few talk about this?
I did learn. Been in this struggle since 1963. The most important lesson of the civil rights era for me was how unfairly a white man could treat anyone and get away with it most of the time. Now we see it on the national stage.
Then we must not have a Supreme Court…send them home. They have no rule of ethics. Wow, millions of tax dollars saved. The lower court with ethos can take the responsibility on.
Congressman & constitutional scholar Jamie Raskin is a national treasure. He has an excellent plan for SCOTUS reform. Says current court is a "scandal." Let's support him as much as possible. Democracy depends on it. Thank you, good sir. Well done. Very well done indeed.
I’m shocked at all of the HATERS comments- we sure do have our work cut out for us!! Go Representative Raskins!! We are Blessed having you on our side of these issues, Thank you Sir!
It may be shown to an observant student of the derivivation of laws and the legitimate reintegration of the observed abstractions required to compose a coherent interpretation sufficient to make opinions and judgments, that the balance of probabilities, differentiates, is the same principle as inherent mathematically quantized valuations in proportioning those probabilities. It's always evident in the facts put before a Court, so those who are selected to represent justice at court, at every level of assessment, should first be seen to have a record of moral/ethical behaviors, (or be recused, reverse selected, when they fail?)
I may only absorb half of what Jamie Raskin says, but even that is more valuable than anyone else's answers to these questions. I love finding a new interview with him. Thanks for this.
Wow, what a clear thinking and articulating person who has to daily deal i the political theatre with such cheap ignorant power grabbing from Trump, Green and others. Why can't or won't half of the US see the difference.
According to originalism if it was legal before the Constitution it did not need to be addressed in the Constitution. Therefore, the Supreme Court overturning Roe was a wrong decision. Abortion was legal when the Constitution was written. "Abortion was not just legal-it was a safe, condoned, and practiced procedure in colonial America and common enough to appear in the legal and medical records of the period. Official abortion laws did not appear on the books in the United States until 1821, and abortion before quickening did not become illegal until the 1860s. If a woman living in New England in the 17th or 18th centuries wanted an abortion, no legal, social, or religious force would have stopped her." - Scarlet Letters: Getting the History of Abortion and Contraception Right
Abortion was outlawed just after the Civil war. Due to the number of lives lost in the war, some felt restoring the population was important for the future of the nation. (We are well populated now.) Abortion was only illegal for 115 years. Currently only 20 some third world countries have laws against abortion. The real question is, "Can you force a person to do something with their body against their will?" A woman's sole purpose in life isn't to carry parasitic fetuses to birth simply to breed more consumers and taxpayers. Outlawing abortions only leads to unsafe back alley abortions, unwanted children, filled orphanages, abused and neglected children, future citizens with mental health problems, and crime.
@@kathyd9324 I am old enough to remember older siblings of friends and the fear and anxiety of those kitchen abortions. To be sent back in time to those awful days, INEXCUSABLE!
@@LizChurchill-p8w I am old enough to remember those horrors, and the dangers of dying from a miscarriage. It's an outrage that anyone would want to do that to society again. It's like taking the medical industry back to when they were just beginning to learn surgery, unsafe for all.
Unfortunately, Today's GOP thinks women are a lower species, unable to make good decisions for their families and themselves. Now that states like Texas think that all abortions are crimes, and too bad if the mother dies, I wonder what might happen to babies in families who don't have the resources to support and care for them well? Now we see that it's True the GOP thinks that life begins at fertilization of an egg, but ends at birth, so government has no responsibility for babies and kids as they learn to walk and talk. (a The GOP that would like to get rid of food stamps, Medicaid, and other programs that help ordinary people) BOnnie MA
There are no words to describe how badly I'd like to say hello, and shake hands with the finest Americans on the planet! Him and Jared Moskowitz are the greatest warriors for our Democracy. I don't want to even think about what life would be like without these two in Congress! I love it when Jamie destroys Large Marge with brilliance!
I absolutely ❤ LOVE ❤ Jamie Raskin!!! When I listen to him, I feel righteous indignation rather than blind rage. The rage does no good, but the indignation helps me remember that we all have to act, speak, and remain passionately rational, and faithful to the cause.
The Constitution is a living, developing document. See all the amendments. The originalist view harking back to a view that takes us all back to English law of 1760s (as Alito did in reversing Roe v Wade) is insane.
Amicus: you would think whoever chose the type of seating for your guest, would find a more comfortable chair to sit on for over 30 minutes. Representative Raskin seems so uncomfortable!

Rep. Raskin, your suggestions for modifying SCOTUS are GREAT. We also need controls for some of the other bottlenecks: No ONE person should be able to keep SCOTUS or military nominations for MONTHS on end. I like Thomas Jefferson's thoughts that the Constitution essentially be reviewed for revision every 18-20 years.

I skipped the eighth grade and was a member of the National Honors society and I gained that honor not just because of my grades but because during the Nixon scandal my math teacher decided to hold a discussion with the class about what we understood about Watergate and I alone carried on a heated debate with my teacher, (who was either a staunch Republican or playing a very convincing role of Devil's advocate) which the rest of the class found terribly boring and made impolite noises and stage whispers about what a suck up and a know it all I was etc etc etc. Well while my passionate arguments as to Nixons criminal culpability and lack of fitness to serve may have fallen on deaf ears as far as my fellow students were concerned my knowledge of what was going on and savagely opinionated and emotional debate with my teacher did gain me the chance to advance academically and a place in the honor society. My choice of career had nothing to do with politics but I have never forgotten how important and hard fought even the right to vote was for the women who came before me is and because of this historic backsliding in advancement in voting rights in the last few years I have realized again that as Americans we can never take our rights for granted. There's always going to be some faction somewhere just waiting and watching for the opportunity to take those rights away from us. And it's not going to stop there. Once they are allowed to get their foot in the door by whatever means necessary they will continue to pick away at all of our rights. Be it through bribes to high ranking officials,( the Supreme Court among others) outright lies all the way to violence and this is really nothing new in America but rather something that I had grown complacent about and had convinced myself somehow,(though my own experiences with politics from a very early age should've been enough to keep me aware) that we were passed this kind of thing happening here and I guess I just got old and let my guard down. But democracy is a fragile thing dependent on the good will of man who want the best for themselves as well as their fellow man. These people on the highest Court in the Land want the best for themselves and those who will continue to make their lives profitable and they care little about the average American citizen. trumpty dumpty ran on a promise to drain the swamp well that's one idea he got right. However my idea of just who it is that's slimy and murking up the water is very very VERY different from his. Rankin's ideas for expanding the Court and initiating term limits and giving each president two nominations to the Court are all wonderful ideas but we have to do something about the monster in Congress who are making any kind of meaningful policy's impossible and doing little for the American people and instead just profiting from making fools of themselves and preventing Congress and the President from doing anything for the American people as well. If we're really going to drain the swamp then we need to pull the plug and let all the water out exposing each and every single swamp monster in the government and judicial system all at once before they come up with a plan to disguise their actions through misdirection lies and we all know how good they are at that. But look at Justice Roberts. He's not even trying to defend himself anymore. He knows there's nothing that anyone can do to him and no possibility of his ever having to answer for his actions. So he doesn't even have to put up a defense. What can any of us do? It's more important than ever in history for every single one of us to get out and vote. As for me even if someone has to roll me up in a wheelchair I will be voting for Biden in November. And I will be voting for Democrats in every single race just as I have for the past 50+ years. My Momma didn't raise no fools!
P.S. I apologize for any typos or misspelled words. I was asked to watch the grandkids right in the middle of writing this and I became a little confused about where I was when I got back to making my comment. So if you find any mistakes in spelling, punctuation or tense please excuse an old woman for them and try not to use simple grammatical errors as proof of my not knowing what I'm talking about. I know how the minds of MAGA work. They look for anything, no matter how small, to pounce on and use as evidence of anyone who doesn't agree with them as being stupid or not understanding the law. I am neither. But I am old so cut an old lady some slack if you find the occasional typo or incorrect punctuation etc. Although it's only the trolls who actually ever seem to notice those types of things since the average members of trump's cult and just your average right wing extremist doesn't have the educational experience and understanding of the English language to even realize that a mistake has been made. They're working with a third grade level of education and awareness so I probably didn't even need to make this disclaimer but just in case some troll is just out there looking for someone to make look foolish I'll say it again, My Momma Didn't Raise No Fools!!!!!
Republicans promote ignorance. Red states have very low quality educational systems. Stupidity keeps folks re-electing republicans candidates. It’s disgraceful and pathetic!
I totally agree with you. I’m a senior citizen of 80 yrs old and I can relate to the history you described. Trust me you have no problem with your spelling. I have noticed that many young people do not know how to spell correctly.
Be the best part of History.

Jamie Raskin Rocks ❤🙏

At least 2 SCOTUS should recuse themselves because they are pro insurrection
You know it!
Slight correction. Alito and Thomas should resign.
impeached, charged with the racketeering two, Alito and Thomas, as well as the three who committed perjury (Kavanaugh, Barrett and Gorsuch)
@@howlalongwithspot6785I can not agree more with this opinion. Three justices clearly and knowingly perjured themselves and two are criminal insurrectionists. Why do so few talk about this?
5 of them.
Raskin next POTUS!!
THANK YOU!!@
PLEASE CONSIDER RUNNING IN 2028
FUTURE PRESIDENT RASKIN SIR.
That sounds soo good.🎉
I love him. History will look fondly on him
Hopefully! History is written by the winners so we better win
For sure😊😊😊
I did learn. Been in this struggle since 1963. The most important lesson of the civil rights era for me was how unfairly a white man could treat anyone and get away with it most of the time. Now we see it on the national stage.
WAKE UP AMERICA … VOTE, VOTE AND VOTE!!!
Court does Not care anymore!
Then we must not have a Supreme Court…send them home. They have no rule of ethics. Wow, millions of tax dollars saved. The lower court with ethos can take the responsibility on.
A number of the Appeals Courts aren't so great either.
What gets me the most, Thomas actually thinks the billionaires are actually his friends. They just use him, because he is corruptible.
Oh damn that is so true!
So true! Those “gifts” aren’t gifts, they are payments.
They are bribes- quid pro quo. Let’s be rigorously honest!
@@LizChurchill-p8wand Uncle Tom knows it
@john - Sooooo true 👏👏👏👏👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤LOVE RASKIN!!!!!!!!
He is very inspiring🎉. Thank the God lord for his gift to humanity.
I'm love & am so greatful for Jamie Rankin in Congress ❣️
Thank you!!!!
Congressman & constitutional scholar Jamie Raskin is a national treasure. He has an excellent plan for SCOTUS reform. Says current court is a "scandal." Let's support him as much as possible. Democracy depends on it.
Thank you, good sir.
Well done.
Very well done indeed.
🎯💙
Love Raskin!! Vote blue 💙💙💙💙
We, the people, have to VOTE BLUE 💙 down the line and reform the Supreme Court 💙
Please run for president.
Much as I’d love that, we NEED him in Congress to help hold the line!
I could listen to Jamie Raskin read a menu. Thank dog for that man.
I’m shocked at all of the HATERS comments- we sure do have our work cut out for us!!
Go Representative Raskins!!
We are Blessed having you on our side of these issues, Thank you Sir!
Mr Raskin l 💙 you and it cracks me up when u try to hide ur laugther😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jamie Raskin for President
Omgoodness! What a great idea 💡 He would make the most amazing president ever, mkaaay!!!😊❤💙💙💙
With Katie Porter for Vice!
@@kathygann7632 - Never thought I’d see Katie Porter’s name in the same sentence with VICE but I get what you mean 😻😻😻😻😻
She’s amazing!
It may be shown to an observant student of the derivivation of laws and the legitimate reintegration of the observed abstractions required to compose a coherent interpretation sufficient to make opinions and judgments, that the balance of probabilities, differentiates, is the same principle as inherent mathematically quantized valuations in proportioning those probabilities.
It's always evident in the facts put before a Court, so those who are selected to represent justice at court, at every level of assessment, should first be seen to have a record of moral/ethical behaviors, (or be recused, reverse selected, when they fail?)
Excellent idea
I may only absorb half of what Jamie Raskin says, but even that is more valuable than anyone else's answers to these questions. I love finding a new interview with him. Thanks for this.
👏👏👏
Wow, what a clear thinking and articulating person who has to daily deal i the political theatre with such cheap ignorant power grabbing from Trump, Green and others. Why can't or won't half of the US see the difference.
According to originalism if it was legal before the Constitution it did not need to be addressed in the Constitution. Therefore, the Supreme Court overturning Roe was a wrong decision.
Abortion was legal when the Constitution was written.
"Abortion was not just legal-it was a safe, condoned, and practiced procedure in colonial America and common enough to appear in the legal and medical records of the period. Official abortion laws did not appear on the books in the United States until 1821, and abortion before quickening did not become illegal until the 1860s. If a woman living in New England in the 17th or 18th centuries wanted an abortion, no legal, social, or religious force would have stopped her." -
Scarlet Letters: Getting the History of Abortion and Contraception Right
Abortion was outlawed just after the Civil war. Due to the number of lives lost in the war, some felt restoring the population was important for the future of the nation. (We are well populated now.)
Abortion was only illegal for 115 years. Currently only 20 some third world countries have laws against abortion.
The real question is, "Can you force a person to do something with their body against their will?"
A woman's sole purpose in life isn't to carry parasitic fetuses to birth simply to breed more consumers and taxpayers.
Outlawing abortions only leads to unsafe back alley abortions, unwanted children, filled orphanages, abused and neglected children, future citizens with mental health problems, and crime.
I wish I could give you 1,000 👍
Brilliant explanation! Both the comment and your reply!!
@@kathyd9324 I am old enough to remember older siblings of friends and the fear and anxiety of those kitchen abortions. To be sent back in time to those awful days, INEXCUSABLE!
@@LizChurchill-p8w I am old enough to remember those horrors, and the dangers of dying from a miscarriage. It's an outrage that anyone would want to do that to society again. It's like taking the medical industry back to when they were just beginning to learn surgery, unsafe for all.
Unfortunately, Today's GOP thinks women are a lower species, unable to make good decisions for their families and themselves. Now that states like Texas think that all abortions are crimes, and too bad if the mother dies, I wonder what might happen to babies in families who don't have the resources to support and care for them well? Now we see that it's
True the GOP thinks that life begins at fertilization of an egg, but ends at birth, so government has no responsibility for babies and kids as they learn to walk and talk.

There are no words to describe how badly I'd like to say hello, and shake hands with the finest Americans on the planet! Him and Jared Moskowitz are the greatest warriors for our Democracy. I don't want to even think about what life would be like without these two in Congress! I love it when Jamie destroys Large Marge with brilliance!
I absolutely ❤ LOVE ❤ Jamie Raskin!!! When I listen to him, I feel righteous indignation rather than blind rage. The rage does no good, but the indignation helps me remember that we all have to act, speak, and remain passionately rational, and faithful to the cause.
SCOTUS should be renewed by SANE judges
It's people like Jamie Raskin that keep my hope in democracy alive ❤
Absolutely LOVE this man!!
Thank you Representative Raskins!! You give us hope ✨
The Constitution is a living, developing document. See all the amendments. The originalist view harking back to a view that takes us all back to English law of 1760s (as Alito did in reversing Roe v Wade) is insane.
They have no shame
Thank you so much Jamie Raskin, stay healthy, continue leading our congress and consider the office of president.
Amicus: you would think whoever chose the type of seating for your guest, would find a more comfortable chair to sit on for over 30 minutes. Representative Raskin seems so uncomfortable! He is a brilliant Constitutionalist and a principled man, a hero to millions. We are blessed to have him in our lives!
Thank you Jamie Raskin for waking us up and helping us to see we Must Stand Together for Democracy!🇺🇸🔹🔷🔷Vote Blue 🔹🔷🔷💙🇺🇸

Rep. Raskin, your suggestions for modifying SCOTUS are GREAT.
We also need controls for some of the other bottlenecks:
No ONE person should be able to keep SCOTUS or military nominations for MONTHS on end.
I like Thomas Jefferson's thoughts that the Constitution essentially be reviewed for revision every 18-20 years.
Thank you for being here Mr Rascin❤🎉
He is the most reliable person and most forthright person in the in USA POLITICS TODAY.
Jamie Raskin
So glad this video showed up for my viewing. I adore and appreciate Dahlia Lithwick, not to mention Raskin. Thanks for this!❤
Lay the progression out night and day!🎉
Jamie Raskins is the real deal. God bless and keep you good Sir 💯
