I love these justices!! All of them on the court - I would affirm every one.
2:10 - 2:20 - Justice Breyer "I don't mean in the prejudice sense and so forth. I do hope we're past that." Always the optimist. A truly great quality.
And I don't mean that prejudice is rampant, just that it seems to linger in little spots.
this is fun because this comment section is exactly not past that prejudice, so sad :( these two justices are phenomenal, I love how Breyer constructs his speech and I love how informal and nice Kagan's speech is
Is there any full recording of this event?
that was musical use of language as effective as mozart or bach
Interesting for sure, I like the part of social justice. Stand up if one has spent the night on the steps in reflection. Bless you.
Why does everyone applaud when they mention their congregations?
Old People NEEDED god
3 out of 9 justices are jewish? I’m puzzled.
And Obama wanted to appoint Garland who is jewish too
pretty simple - jewish americans are generally urbanised and highly educated, so its unsurprising that more as a proportion of the whole pursue higher education, especially in fields like Law and Justice. Its the same reason why most of the Justices historically have been white - its simply a sociocultural function
Separation of church and state anyone?
+voxman77 Are you talking about the artificial unconstitutional wall of separation - or are you talking about the true meaning that idea?
I ask because not a single founding father understood that idea to mean what the majority of people today believe it means.
+2Truth4Liberty I refer to the constant liberal line about how religion should NEVER influence policy or law, yet here are two celebrated leftists comapring their judicial philosophy to the teachings of their faith. Which is apparently fine provided the decisions line up with the left's religion.
UGH
“Justice justice shall you pursue” is Deuteronomy, not Isaiah. Smart man but completely ignorant as to Bible and Jewish doctrine
