Instead of so called "building back better", biden needs to put things back the way he found them.
OK then trump should have sent covid back to China.
That’s like telling a 3 year old to clean his room
@@Dwade689 LoL.

so making America great again. is undoing what people would call 100 years of progress?
Protest and Freedom of Assembly in fine. Violence, threats, and destruction of property is against the law.
Yeah, you know that, I know that, most law abiding people know that BUT....this is happening because "ITS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN", that's it !!!
I don't think they are destroying property lol.
@@mvallejr1 thanks for writing all caps. I'm sure the issue will be resolved now
@@user-co1gu3lh8uYes they are. They have set up tent cities on campus! 🙄🤦♀️
@@user-co1gu3lh8uAntifa and BLM did and nothing happened to them. They burned police stations and got away with it, too! The vandalized post offices and Trump was taken to a safe room. Crickets!!! It's okay if the left does anything.
Breyer, "Then you end up with a Constitution you don't want." Breyer needs to explain that clearly. It has endured for hundreds of years and through great change. That's the Constituion I want.
🎉🎉🎉
I took it that he meant what it would have turned into, under Scalia's ideations. Maybe?
We haven't had a real Constitution since the Act of 1871 turned the USA into a corporation.
Personally I find it hypocritical that the same people who claim to feel so sorry for the Palestinians are silent on the civilian casualties of the Afghanistan and Iraq war as well as being silent on the Uyghurs who are currently in re education camps in China!
People who are pro trump, are pto russian, anti free speech
I'm happier with Justice Scalia's interpretation of the Constitution .
The constitution isn’t up for debate. The second amendment isn’t up for discussion or debate, it say the right to keep and bear arms it doesn’t say militias right to keep and bear arms .
That's the problem with progressives and liberals, they think they can change or abolish a constitutional amendment anytime they "FEEL" like it. That's why conservative judges like Thomas and the late Scalia are called Constitutionalist.
Exactly.... founders would be pissed to see America today. They tried to stop big brother as much as possible
funny how everyone debates and quotes the 2nd, but they always skip the first 4 words. A well regulated Militia.
i mean it says regulated and controlled right off the bat. it doesn't say for personal use, not saying you cant have one. but it does say regulated and for what reason. show me where it says for self defense, i mean it only mentions the security of a free State. not your personal security, thats why its never quoted, because people would be lying to themselves.
@@diegojines-us9pc nobody skips the word militia the people are the militia in opposition to the government!

What’s the law on protesting on private property. The schools should have everyone arrested
So the January 6th protests were legit but these university protests are not. Lol. How painful is your cognitive dissonance?? 😂
@@user-co1gu3lh8u Well first off the Jan 6th protests were legit when they were only in the protest phase and in designated areas and not going IN to the capitol building.
When it turned violent it ceased to be freedom of speech and again they trespassed into the building.
Protesting ON campus at a College/Uni is private property and hence freedom of speech cannot be used as an excuse if the Uni/College decides they think it's disruptive. They can trespass the students.
Better there than on the interstates and streets
can you arrest the person you are renting your place to for trespassing? funny the kids pay to go there. so they have more rights. than lets say you being there.
Sacrificing our freedom to appease Israel. Put America first.
Bryer should have retired when Trump was in office. Instead we got an equity pick who doesn't know what a woman is.
and then we would've gotten a 7-2 conservative majority hell-bent on bringing the country back to the 1800s, stripping people of rights, all bc of what their bible says.
Freedom of speech without violence is protected, absolutely.
Unless you get the media platforms to do the restricting for you. The wannabe overlords found a loophole
Yeah. That wasn't the case in 2020.
freedom of speech isnt free.. its not freedom to THREATEN others.
freedoms have consequences.. yes you can say it,, but you will be sued or arrested..
accept responsibility for your freedoms..if you do the dirty deed,, then you get the results of your badness..
its quite simple.. the constitution isnt a suicide pact
Stop acting like you're profound and wise. You're not.

No J6 at Columbia
@@_Make_America_Native_Again_.Free SPEECH is necessary and beneficial. Coercion of others via threats, explicit or implicit, is not acceptable. Although I'd argue that most of the speech going on right now falls into the former category, some of it extends into the latter. That has to stop. Also, free speech does not extend to criminal trespassing, nor to assault and battery. I've seen examples of these crimes occurring and going unpunished during these protests. Again, the majority have not done these things, but some have, and they need to be stopped. My advice: if you want to keep free speech free, then police your own, root out the troublemakers and "disinvite" them from your ranks.
Protesting is a waste of time.
Breyer or his staff was absolutely the leak.
“What is going on?” Lack of respect for property rights. Former Justice Breyer may know the answer. Why he asks the question. I was not really astonished when Justice Breyer went to the White House to announce his retirement. I was disappointed he said nothing even there.
They didn’t do anything against BLM 😮😢
Isn’t that a strange similarity???
It's only ok to riot when it's anti-White.

@@masonhunter2921Why single out religion?
@@TangSooTerp As much as free speech, the government is always at risk for being persuaded to favor one religion over another, or religion over no religion.
Without the 2nd amendment all the others will fail
1st amendment is one thing trump hates and so does putin, its telling that those who support trump are anti American
If part of the Constitution is obsolete, that is why you have the amendment process.
is it? if the SCOTUS rules trump has immunity. where that admendment?
Exactly! First person to speak correctly on this. You don’t like it write a new amendment and allow the people to decide. So many laws are truly unconstitutional but folks are ignorant.
Breyer is simply someone I do not agree with or admire. Another hollow elitist, we should trust his wisdom and judgement, not the text of the Constitution.
Big waste of time with this bag of wind
If every Justice were like Scalia, America would be much better off.
Bill Clinton appointed this man, this gives you a clue, because with Breyer he is still trying to figure out what the word is, is
He was exactly what a judge should not be!
The Framers: “The Constitution means what it says.”
Justice Breyer: “The Constitution means what I say.”
The function of the courts is to enforce the law AS WRITTEN irrespective of their personal feelings or beliefs. This is the Constitution I want. The Constitution that Breyer wants is toothless, powerless, meaningless, and worthless. It’s endured 236 years despite justices like him.
If Breyer hadn’t been hit while riding his bicycle he would have been nominated earlier and Ginsburg would have not been on the SCOTUS bench. She should have thanked him for his broken ribs and punctured lung, but I highly doubt she ever thanked anyone for anything.
Like our government there should be term limits for all these positions..
sotomayor is not impressive....
Neither is Jackson!

Freedom of speech bases on that people honest and have common sense.
Also, democracy
you know common sense has never had anything to do government,
Answer........TRUTH
Trump is awesome
Term limits, banning lobbyists' interference, and electing representatives of America that don't support the prosperity of the sovereign citizens.
Not officials who sell their sole to obtain personal entitlement or to support the enslavement of America by creating civil division by legitimizing mental illness and the vilification of patriotism.
Be a Shepard for the future generations of America 🇺🇸 and the world 🌎
just as your right to assembly doesn't mean you can riot without reprecustions, we still have laws in place that these colleges should ABSOLUTLEY be enforcing. Taking over property, vandalism, destruction, impeding the freedoms of others, violence and threats is what we have seen across these campuses not "protest"
Nice interview. Makes me want to hear more. Thanks
SYCOPHANT....
He has a duplicitous and false way of stating the two different approaches. Textualism is a part of the originalist tool box.
Practical considerations are usually part of any decision making process. But the key here is whether he believes it is okay to basically legislate and regulate from the bench. And the record shows that he does believe in that far too much. That means he has little respect for law as all law is by definition original. When a law including constituitional provisions or statutes are proven impractical, whatever that may mean, then it is up to the representative or republican process to change it. It is not up to an arrogant self appointed bench politico to do that. They can opine but they cannot legislate. He is arrogant.
As a kid watching tv I was always amazed and I always looked at that the Highest Supreme Court like they are the ones that makes the final decision and I looked at them with respect and integrity at the highest like wow!. Now I know why it's because they protect the constitution and thats is protecting the people of America our country our rights.❤🇺🇸
Human nature hasn't changed since the Constitution was adapted. Diffusion of power among three branches to avoid overreach matters more than catering to technology.
what a waste of space.. cant even answer if these things are dangerous
If he is 83+ and this cognitively sound then Biden at his age is only going to decline
Freedom of speech you had a right for your speech but when it threatens the rights of another person first minutes off the freedom of religion those two things are coming into direct conflict with each other on these college campuses

This is great thank you.
Breyer's arguments about the necessity of changing the Constitution to meet the needs of today founder upon the rocks of Article 5 of that same Constitution.
The problem is that sotomayor is generally WRONG on most of the issues!!!!
like a dog driving a car ... how did she get there? people are just proud she is doing it somehow ... great dei hire, no skills no qualifications except for who she donated to
Ironic when the nominal conservative Trump talked about good and bad on both sides of the protest in Charlottesville he was called out as a racist, no middle ground. Here we have a nominal liberal Bryer not willing or able see the good or bad in today’s protest. For some of us, we see it as anti genocide protest. So who is worse?
Anti-I D F is not pro-Hamas anymore then anti-IraqWar was pro-Saddam.
We are helping to fund 🇮🇱 war effort, along with all the proxy wars for 🇮🇱 in the ME the 🇺🇸 has had a hand in.
The last vote was eighteen years ago, and half the people are too young now to have voted Hamas in, and polls are unreliable.
In the end, the I C J, the Geneva Conventions, and world opinion has said 🇮🇱 does not get to retaliate to whatever degree they wish.
I believe we should look to the intent of the Framers and any laws passed. It doesn't matter if they didn't know the internet was coming, For the Judiciary to do other than interpret the law as intended is Legislative. Perhaps that is why they like the concept so much.
He won't admit that his own rulings from the bench helped to push America in the direction of this craziness.
Hearing screaming protesters is not a conversation - "explosive" or otherwise.
His arguments rest on the need to change the original intent of the Constitution. Textualists say the founders had it right. So what if Washington didn’t have the Internet? Is the Internet based on values or natural rights? That’s why we have a Constitution that is.
VOTE FOR QUALIFIED PEOPLE! AND, if they sucK!?!. VOTE them/theys out! Period‼️Because Honestly, a Home 0wner will never hire a bad Contractor, Electrician, or Plumber 🪠
Doesn't Matter Which Party they're from... PERIOD!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Justice Stephen seems like a nice guy, and he makes some good points. But I disagree the constitution should be "reinterpreted" because things have changed over time. Yes internet and stuff like that did not exist back then. But as he rightly pointed out the values are still relevant. You should still need a warrant to spy on our internet use for example. When you open the door to reinterpretation, you open pandora's box. The power of the constitution comes from the fact that it is a contract between "We the People" and Government. The contract does not change, even hundreds of years later. That is power.
I think we are very well shut of former justice Breyer.
I have zero respect for this man. He couldn't even condemn the open Anti semitism being displayed on college campuses!
He doesn't need your respect.
Why would he? This is America, not Israel. People still have the right to think what they want.
We can take a pat on the back, yall!
OUR PATRIOT TOUR WAS FAR BETTER, THESE KIDS NEED LESSONS,
Stephen Breyer isn't as annoying as I thought
Thank You For Your Support JESUS!
wow... super good stuff.!! Great reporting.
Breyer, "we'll have a constitution that no one will want". If that is the problem, then the constitution should be amended to be one that folks want, rather than having unelected SCOTUS legislate via broad interpretation to get one that they think people want. A fundamental problem is that process of amendment was made so hard that almost all reforms can't be accomplished, and ambiguities in wording or intent can't be resolved by fixing the constitution. The only way that reconstruction amendments were passed was because the southern states were not represented in Congress and they couldn't get back representation without approving them. Another fundamental problem is the movement of things that are political decisions into to being constitutional questions.
Why even show this video? The judge actually never says 1 single word about the conversation that was supposed to be discussed.
busy selling his book.
This 85 year old is super “sharp”. Compare him to Biden.
Compare him to Humpty Dumpty Trumpty, you mean 😂😂😂
he was as sharp as a bowling ball when on the court
Shannon is incorrect when she says that Breyer was not pushed to retire. Breyer was too conservative for the left, and the left did not want him on the bench for another possible 10 years or more, so they pushed him to retire and replaced him with a far leftie, KetanjJackson Brown. She does not know what a woman is, but maybe she can find it in a new and revised Constitution that is up with the times.
Yeah.. never liked this guy.
We got Ginsburg because of him.
What happened to Arizona? Did so many California loons move there and change the state into a California copy?
Freedom of speech was to give Americans the right to speak about things they don't like what the government is doing without being attack by the government
Glad he is gone..
I enjoy listening to them speak. I may not agree with everything they say, but there is no doubt they are extraordinarily, intelligent and eloquent.
He was a wonderful judge
Such an intellectual man, even though he would not necessarily agree with my views, having healthy debate and discussion without persecution and condemnation is what has made our country so much better than all the others. It would be refreshing if all the justices would sit down and have this kind of conversation and let the public see them outside of their day to day job. I am just not sure who could barter such an event given the biases of the media nowadays.
Research Justice Breyer's work on the KELO v. NEW LONDON [04-108], 545 U.S. 469 (2005) case. There you will find what his "pragmatism" does for the taking of private property in imminent domain and who or what businesses would benefit.
If we had a constitution that nobody wants, ask the Justice this, what’s the purpose of amendments in the constitution if not to clarify a previous position of written words or societal changes. Does anyone know how to interview anymore?
Lavrentiy Beria now decides what happens in American courts.
He has a lot of energy.. I hope I'm that active at that age.
Why did the democrats push him off the bench

Renquist, Scalia mostly see the fundamentals of a Republic. That being, men don't change nor do their intents. The People must not be overtaken by the take down of the Republic for a democracy. Our revolution was for a Republic.
No thanks. This guy wants to interpret the Constitution, Scalia wanted to follow the Constitution.
He values the right to Free Speech more than he does the Right to take your first breath.
Bryer remains unimpressive. The only thing I have to say about his retirement is that, unfortunately, his replacement a DEI affirmative action appointee is worse than he was.
He was a horrible justice! He’s to blame for a lot of our current issues. He needs to go away quietly and mind his own business.
To his statement "We have the words, the freedom of speech". Exactly, I agree, but it does NOT say the freedom of conduct that interrupts the daily lives of others and or either physically harms them, threatens them, or otherwise interrupts their daily lives. In the case of the college campuses, lives they HAVE PAID for i.e. tuition.
Personally I find it hypocritical that the same people who claim to feel so sorry for the Palestinians are silent on the civilian casualties of the Afghanistan and Iraq war as well as being silent on the Uyghurs who are currently in re education camps in China!
