Ep. 107 - Only Black Women Need Apply

2022-01-29

Holding only a narrow majority in the Senate, Democrats are anxious to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. A lot is yet unknown, but one thing is clear—it’s going to be a fast process. Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles to make his early predictions about the Biden nominee, consider potential ideological shifts on the Court, and answer an interesting—and horrifying—question. Plus, the Senator and Michael reflect on the horrific Colleyville, Texas synagogue terrorist attack.

act with TED crews. Senator I have to ask, I know I bring this up every time there is a Supreme court opening. You were on the short list under President Trump and despite Joe Biden saying he will pick a black woman to fill the seed, because because these days we can identify. However, we like will you consider being the nominee for president button Well, I don't know if I'm going to hold my breath on that, because I think the the most fundamental problem with Biden is that I identify as a conservative and a constitutionalist and that most definitely does not want on the cord right, although I am told that that that's spies have had observed, Merrick Garland, getting on a plane and heading to Sweden for an operation. So you know whatever it takes
the nomination. I imagine former Judge Garland may do he was so close. Has it's gotta be killing at current attorney general garland right now? We don't know who the nominee is going to be. You obviously have spent a lot of time with the court up close and you were up for the court just during the night. administration, so what looking at here is this. Just a liberal, replacing a liberal and the court is going to go on as it always has. Is it going to mean for the future of of jurisprudence? Well, I think it's gonna be bad. If you look at the Biden, judicial appointments, they have been almost systematically hard left. He has been a point radicals, more radical than Obama's nominees, much more radical than Bill Clinton nominees. It's been a consistent pattern of cats, been true with the administration across the board on just better policy whether spending or taxes are dead or the border or foreign policy Biden has been completely captured by the far left. So I think,
This Supreme Court nomination is going to be very much follow that pattern. I expect activists in an activist to the left of worsted briar was gonna. Stay briar was always illiberal it was appointed by Bill Clinton. But briar, you could a case finally get on a key So, for example, one of the big cases I litigated when I was as a general. Isn't the Texas ten commandments case where we were defending constitutionality of the ten commandments monument on the state Capitol grounds in Texas when all the way to the Supreme Court and all of the arguments and our brief I crafted trying to get Saturday. Oconnors vote failed miserably on voted against us, my channels, just about every word. She'd said about the establishment claw is about religious liberty, and all of the argument should put forth in the past missed her but bizarrely enough hits briar, and so we one five before
Briar was our necessary fifth vote. If, if Briar had voted, no access would have lost. The court would have ordered us to bulldoze to tear down a monument has been on the state Capitol grounds, since one thousand nine hundred and sixty one- and it would have meant that ten commandments displays across the country would have to be taken down. Briar didn't often deviate from the last, he was a very reliable. He was a ninety plus per cent liberal vote, but every once in a while, he would and- and I have high carbon it's that bind is gonna nominates, someone who not only as a hundred percent liberal vote, but I think what is real objective is to get someone who is further to the left. Even the liberals on the core and will drive the cord even further left and personal he'll try to get some one young, which is probably why Missus Garland is out of the running, because you want someone to be on the court for decades if possible, way.
Yes, although I think more broadly than that, listen Biden that the fact that he is willing to make a promise at the outset, must be a black woman. I guess that's offensive right. Yet black women are what at six percent of the Eu S population He sang the ninety four percent of Americans. I don't give a damn about you you're in eligible and he's also saying it's actually an insult to black women. If he, if he came and said, I'm gonna put the best jurist on the bored and any looked at a number of people and ended up nominating a black woman ye. credibly say: ok, I'm nominating the person is most qualified he's not pretending to say that he is saying if Europe guy, tough luck, viewer woman. Tough luck! You don't qualify of your marriage. Garland are how much does it suck to be married? Garland, he's literally gotta sit here and be told at the outset. He is ineligible you're out because sorry, wrong, skin pigment and and and wrong
Wrong Y chromosome at an it's just eat it it's. It is an example. How Democrats in particular the far left everything is race. Everything is that they will discriminate based on race. They will pigeon hole you they don't care about. The independent that the individual. It is a fact, if you're, this woman, who probably hasn't been selected yet, but this future black woman who's gonna, be the nominee you're being too but the outset you are, diversity hire him, not begging you for your merits, I'm taking you for your skin and for your sex. So when I was a law school, Harvard LAW Review has affirmative action and end there. Forty editors selected each year, at the time. I was there if they still have the policy, but when I was there of the forty slots aid of the Sea thoughts were reserved for affirmative action. So thirty two were based on
aids in writing, contest and eight of the slots were explicitly affirmative action policies and The year I was, there is a second: your law stood. There were actually at several conservatives who were editors larvae and they decided to to mount a fight to try to end affirmative action. Larvae. after admit. I wasn't all that enthusiastic about the fight. As I could count votes we're gonna lose their lot more lefties than than there were ass. It has like. Ok, I'm not sure why were tilting at windmills, but ok, sure Martin do it so we had a big meeting of all the editor. So eighty editors, forty second year law, student, forty third year law, students were arguing back and forth about whether the law or should end racial affirmative action, and I number at one point, one particularly super less liberal law student stood up and said if we and affirmative action. The law, a review will be nothing but white men
I was actually Michael. I was sitting on the back of the remark. I was quite quiet and that kissed me off and an and I ended up by raising my hand and speaking, I said you know what that comment right. There shows just how pernicious affirmative action because what you're saying is I believe in a meritocracy. only white men will succeed. You are also saying to every one of us in the room who is not a white man to every one of us is a spanish graphic, an American that you think on honor, Our objective measure you're better than we are- and I gotta admit I got a little spicy, I said, listen, buddy! You pull your transcript out my transcript window head to head right now, right on whose earn their place on the lot of you, but I said there something even more invidious that you have stated with, with with your implicit assumption the law you at the time at least did not have affirmative action for women so
affirmative action, but did not have gender affirmative action. I said, but what you're stating which is a total load of crap. If you believe every woman on this large EU doesn't deserve to be there, that you think manner, inherently smarter, its utter garbage, but you ve shown why formative action is so pernicious that this is doing the same thing where whoever gets this nomination and and by they commonly Harris's Vp. Having Biden did the same thing for her it really does. If your explicitly setting up a discriminatory quota, it it's unfair to everybody else and it undermines whoever ends up getting. This raises a real question about the process because, as you said, Joe Biden said before he picked comments to be the VP. He said, I'm gonna pick a black I don't know which one and I really care, but I'm gonna pick a black woman and then their world. If you options Susan Rice they're, all if you options were prominent at the national level in the Democrats, Susan Rice was the format for Benghazi, Karen Bass,
What is an actual communist. There was probably not gonna work, and so you commonly Harris who was one of the first people out of primary she becomes VP now she's being talked about for this Supreme Court vacancy but last time I checked senator. This is a fifty fifty cent it last time. I checked It's the sitting vice president, who casts the Thai break out? What happens it's the sitting vice president, whose being nominated for the court. So look at it. It's a great question. its unpack a little bit. Let's go back so one Biden was naming a VP nominated was actually slightly different than that he did not promises. Vp nominee would be a black woman. He promised Sweeping nominee would be a woman, so he said certified gender, but he didn't specify race and then what happened is after that George Floyd happened. and we had riots across the country and I think he felt the political imperative. meant he had the name of a black woman. I actually
Biden wouldn't aimed Amy Club, which are under his initial promised name, a woman? I think that's actually hoop who'd Biden wanted to name but one Lord Floyd happened: he felt it had to be a black woman. It and then is choices. So Biden doesn't like come there Like each other persons seems hunting area. If you remember those those democratic debates at me, she basically called him a big it and an almost clansmen Ami. She went after him hard an end to say: there's no love lost between them is an understatement, but problem was that that once he narrowed the field, to not only must have a woman, but as a matter of politics it needs. Be a black woman. His choices were, there were a couple of of members of the house there. There was a mayor in Atlanta and never Scotland and Joe is a creature. The Senate spent forty years in the Senate. I actually Joe is like incapable love, naming a house member or a mayor it just now. He has
certain world view where, where it had to be a senator, so he was stuck naming somebody can't stand and all saying, she's done a really poor job as me and and she's manner, to be even less popular than Joe Biden, which is a really hard thing to do. Given that abysmal job he has done so. asked forward. I think there is a chance. They know a comment to the court in part because they can't stand it And ran what are the impotent one of the virtues of naming or to the court as they get to get her out of the White House and out of look today, Credit party is very worried that she's the presume successor to Joe Biden right because her Political negatives are so strong. She just not very good at this stuff. I mean it, sir. you know you ve seen the video the skirt sort of weird video of her with kids. That's almost like a step. Further,
I've robotic it's bizarre, but you re, probably the biggest negative to naming come also there to related questions. One there is dispute. Let us say: camels, not denominate somebody else. There is a dispute, about whether a vice president can cast a vote on a fifty fifty Supreme Court. Nominee Larry tribe one of the most well known left wing constitutional law. Professors was actually my com, LA professor in law, school Larry, try publicly and vocally when when Trump was, President said that he believed the vice president can't cast the Tiber aching photos in court in Germany and in history its never happened. We ve never had a supreme court. Domini confirmed with the vice president. Casting the Thai breaking vote is clear. The vice president can cast cyber aching vote. On legislation that happens a lot. It is now
happened with a spring court nominated. Is the argument that it's it's a problem of the separation of powers. If the vice president, centrally that it's a role for the Senate. I gotta admit I don't find tribes argument very persuasive. I haven't study the question closely, but just just reading it on the on the face of it it's likely the better constitutional argument is yes, the VP has the authority to cast the Thai breaking vote. So if far, if Michael noticed identifying as a black woman and Joe Biden nominates Michael knows, I think it is probably the key that common law could cast the deciding vote in favour of of Michel Nels. I can't wait. I you know, I have said so mean things about her, so I dont know, if shall vote for me out I'll start trying them Interesting question is, if Camelot herself as the nominee right. So it is not a hundred percent resolved. Whether common look at vote for herself.
The usual precedent. When a senator is nominated, something this happens, look look. There are senators that are nominated to different positions that require confirmation. Jeff sessions was a senator. He was nominated attorney general. The usual practice is the senator abstained from the vote. John Kerry was nominated me Secretary of state. He was sitting senator. He abstained. The usual practice is, you know, vote on yourself because that's kind of attacking. I'm sure she was nominated. She would love to abstain. My Yes is if common was nominated it robber, it would be a fifty fifty out. I know that for sure maybe should pick up a republican vote. I would not be on this yes, I would be a hell. Nine hundred on eleven less. You were nominated. as a matter of Senate precedent. There are some Senate precedence from previous nominations, not spring court nominations. That said,
Yes, that a senator at least can vote for himself or herself too, to be confirmed that that the argument would go at the instant she vote. She still vice president, and so she has the authority to cast their vote. It would be a fight, it be a fight with a parliamentarian to be a fight back and forth. The bigger chow and would be whether or not technically she'd have the power to do it. It's certainly unseemly and raises some ethical questions now that being set on the flip side, we ve seen multiple times, governors of states when there's a Senate vacancy appoint themselves, SAM Governor, I get to appoint the center, I looked around and the most qualified candidates is why so that as much you could do, my guess is, though the of unseemly nest. The ethical problems of a vice president casting the I breaking vote on our own confirmation, make
com a less likely to get the nomination right. Now, the early horse race prediction their dinner few judges that that their sort of the leading candidates one is- is judged Khatami Brown Jackson, who was on the Eu S court of appeals for the Dc Circuit, the is Judge Michel Childs, the South Carolina District judge. Although has been nominated, also to be on the Deasey Circuit nominated by Biden, but she had never hearing it. There are other potential contenders, but those are the two kind of early front runners it's interesting could potentially Brown Jackson. I know her. We were classmates and law school together, though she was she was a year behind me, a dead loss, gloves class. Ninety five she's class in ninety six, we're both Are you together? Look. She was very nice personally We know each other well, we were not not particularly pals, but she was certainly pleasant, cordial civil,
and I got to say oh she's, the nominee that that the sort of early horse race, batting she's, probably the front runner she's on the DC circuit. Ironically, she has merit garlands old seat. So when Garland was named, Agee Qatar I'd, nominated to fill it fill his see, I'm sure that project sticks and garlands craw that his successor, because he has the wrong skin color and wrong gender he's not eligible, but his successor is insult to injury. Have to say on her confirmation hearing Qatar Angie. been very, very careful at least in her confirmation hearing for the DC circuit. She had said very little that reveals or political orientation that reveals what kind of judge she would be She did not have so many of the bide nominees of had she didn't have these outrageously partisan statement. She didn't have these wildly leftwing statements now
I think, more than a few people suspect those may be her sentiments, but she hasn't left much of a paper. Alan and and that I am sure will be attractive to the White House. Is, if economic aid or she got confirm. Three Republicans voted to confirm or for the Dc Circuit Lindsey, Graham, so Collins, Leeson Rakowski. So that will be attractive to the White House. Is there was not much of a paper trail. So it's hard to find thing tangible in a record to objective two and she got three Republicans last time, the other and you'll front runners meant is Michel, Childs mission. How is it I dont know where she is? on the district court in Carolina nominated Deasey Dc Circuit, the biggest asset. She has Jim Kleiber is fighting like her how to get her. The nomination of Jim Kleiber House member for
South Carolina african American huge proponent? I mean he's openly aggressively vigorously lobbying for her. Kleiber was pivotal to Joe Biden winning the nomination of ACT. I dont think it's too much to say without Jim Clayburn were Joe Biden this President, if your member Bernie Sanders was winning winning Iowa winning New Hampshire, it was the wheels were come off. the Kleiber assembled helped bring together the african american vote, both in South Carolina and in the south and guy a bind, the nomination and, I think, Kleiber and is doing everything it can to call on a chair and say, nominate, childs and I dont know how effective that argument will be in the White House or not to other interesting points about childs versus Khatami Brown Jack, yeah number one.
why burn is pitching one of the reasons the child should get. The nomination is that both republic senators from South Carolina, Lindsey, Graham and TIM Scott Court, the kleiber- and I quote very- hi on child and in fact, Kleiber has been stronger. He said both of them would vote to confirm. Her Lindsey would vote to confirm her and an TIM Scott would vote to confirm, or I don't know if that's true, but but Kleiber and has not been hedging his language. He said categorically they would vote. Yes, that is a plus A second argument being made for child is that she went to state schools. She went to the universe yourself Floor, she went to Universal South Carolina. Tangier is a double double barreled, Harvard Graduate Harvard College Harvard LAW School.
The Supreme Court, judge, justices or Ivy League graduates. You and I know how singularly unqualified ivy league graduates are to do anything, of course, and so that is a plus being argued for child, a final plus its being argued that she's, a southerner and Kleiber is arguing, look ghetto. Southerners are big part of the country she understands. The experience of life is assessed, I don't know who will win that and I expected epic battle. The devil rats whoever's nominated, we're gonna get a nomination quickly. I think I think get a nomination by End of February will have a nomination. It wouldn't surprise me of a denomination in two weeks, rather than a month, I think they're gonna move fast, and then I expect the Democrats to try to- ram this through really really fast to try to hold fast hearings and aunt JANET through their scared about bath. election coming in November, and you already see the left wing advocates say and look.
We don't know what happens like somebody could die and and with a fifty fifty cent it I mean it's you, you know are there some some senators on both sides of the Isle that that are not spring chickens and and You know somebody resign, somebody dies, something happens. They could lose their majority in a moment. So I expect this to be an epic battle, but a fast battle, because academic you're gonna try to rapid through quickly amateur Everything I can to lead the fight against any left wing activists being put on the court, but we gotta see who who hoo bud nominees? on that point before we, move on. What do you think the odds are that Republicans try to cabin however, this nominees meaning dredge all these either real or completely imagined scan calls from their past and really try to break this person through the mud, like the Democrats always due to the Republicans, so I dont think that will happen. In fact, I'm
often it will not happen. You, member you, and I did the one of my favorite verdicts, what we did with with Eric wasting yeah and I add, and it was a great you know. He's is east a man of the left with brilliant and Anna. We were talking about judicial confirmations and an he did. What do what a sort of a talking point on the left of? Well, both sides? Do it? And if you remember you and I pushed back and said one that noticed that sang I'm going to write both sides. Don't do it working is one hundred percent a democratic problem Robert Bork was borne by Joe Biden and TED Kennedy by Europe. About having the blood on your hands. So to speak. That's bad news directly involved in working Robert Bore, Clarence Thomas, which, which should I was as Thomas put it. It was a high tech. Lynching That kind of slandering and drag him through the mud was a hundred percent done by Democrats, obviously cabin all was done by Democrats Republican.
never done this to judicial. How many and I don't believe we would. I think it's wrong it's on ethical and ended actual I'm. I suppose you know it. It worked for Bork at work, the first time but Clarence time Scott through Brett Cavanaugh got through. So I suppose there might be some argument if, if Bork actually did Roy the nomination well, but remember, barking worked because Republicans were so feckless that they bailed on Bork right part of the problem is Democrats. They male and on a nominee I mean you could literally have video of the nominee strangling alive kitten until The Geneva. Ok, great, that's a justice, but They don't bail on their people ever, but but I also believe look I wouldn't be willing to to engage in the kind of garbage that that that they engage their nominees now if a nominee has a problematic record if they have, if they ve been overly partisan, if they ve been an activist out press them hard on substance on
on matters relevant for the job but but going into the gutter. If hissed, is a guide that has been exclusively democratic practice. We ve never seen a Republican, do it and I hope we do. I don't want to see see our side behave like that right. Right now moving from DC to our little insider view down in Texas in remaining moments we have it. It occurs to me that not so long ago, just some weeks ago, there was an actual terror attack in our country. A real justly motivated muslim terrorist held up a synagogue took use and a rabbi hostage. civilians for a political purpose. This is about is plain Phoenician of terrorism as there can be, and within what six or seven hours, the story completely disappeared from the headlines, You have met with the people involved, hostages. But who were on the scene there? What do we know what
what happened to the story at so as as where do recording the spot right now, I'm in Fort worth today, and and actually this morning, I did a round table and colleagues, which is the community where, where the that the terrorist attack occurred, that was a mayor members, the city, council and and and leaders of the jewish community and and the actual hostages were not at the in meeting. But I've spoken phone with the rabbi, who was a hostage with each of the individuals in each of the four people who were. We were hostages and, and I hey what happened was her. You had a british national, a meal Le Mood appears had significant mental health issues and in a criminal history who came to the United States acquired again from a criminal
who had that Johnny legally and came in with a gun and and held held these four people hostage and Anna was a terror attack. It was an anti semitic attack. They were targeted because they were wish and edit riveted the eyes of of people across Texas across the country across the world, because for much of it it was live stream. Thank God there only for people in that setting. I wish about services because of covert met, many of the people from that synagogue were attending remotely, so they weren't physically. There an dab dirt, the terror attack. I spoke with a special agent in charge of the FBI who is handling the investigation award, make sure they had all the resources needed. They had all the federal assets needed and an actual encouragingly said we ve got. We had everything we need the
the hostage rescue team was of the time in the air flying from Quantico to come, come to fort worth and any said between federal and local and state resources. We ve got a tunnel law enforcement focused on it, and I say at the outset what is in remarkable is that all four merged unharmed when this was happy, all of us hiding and I were lifting them up in prayer, we're working to make sure law enforcement resources were mobilized, but we were prepared for the worst, because we ve seen too many of these terror attacks, many of them targeting Jews because of Anti Semitism and and tragically many of them and horrific lay many them end with with serious cat cheese, and in this case, with with gods blessings, it didn't end up that way. The terrorist released one of them that the congregants who who was elderly, released him early because a balanced age, the others remained there an end.
ended up that that all of the hostages escaped and escaped unharmed, and then and the F b I went in and law enforcement went in and they killed the terrorist. I guess, speaking to the rabbi speaking to the hostages. One of the things that was remarkable was the heroism those men showed they ve got some one who was a radical extremists and was alt also mentally unbalanced, with firearms threatening, kill them and they ended up. Fortunately, this synagogue had had tried on what to do in the event of a terrorist attack, and so they had extensive training you. So when they were sitting, they sat very very near the exit door and they did it because of their training. They knew that that that proximity, the exit door, would if there was a moment to escape, they wanted to minimize the distance between where
a word then the way out, and so they deliberately sat near that, ultimately, that that the terrorist acts was running and raving and as the FBI hostage negotiators were talking to him, I won play put down his gun and and when he put down his gun. The rabbi through a chair And that delayed him, and in the moment, when the rabbi through the chair, Adam the three of them ran out and they ran to the door. And made it out, and and the terrorist picked up the gun and chase. The mountain was seen outside brandishing the weapon, but but praise God knows no one was shot. And then the F B, I went in and Anne and shot and killed the terrorist. the incredible heroism, it's a testament to the value of training, and you know their far too many of these attacks on synagogues, but also on churches on Moscow
Houses of worship is messed up. Michael, you ought to be able to go and worship God and whatever your faith without afraid, some lunatic is gonna. Try to kill, be relaxed, Byron, there's evil in the world and- and so we need to be put- We need to to keep houses of worship safe and protected I will say in the aftermath, FBI. When they were publicly talking about it, described this and said. Well, we don't know the motivation, but it doesn't appear. It was linked anti Semitism, which was complete garbage. it seemed a little less and I'm no expert, I'm no forensic genius here, but it would seem that if you fly too country you stick up, Jews, because you're trying to get an Al Qaeda terrorist released from prison by the way that was the back story of part of his innovation giving that might have something to do and like a little bit of Anti Semitism. Don't you well- and you
You know what really drove in his fascinating, as I talked with with everyone involved the anti amateurs, and that was driven. It wasn't directive. This particular synagogue you to know, I think, about this centre. God what happened? Was he flew a flute any york than if that he then he flew to Dallas, worth and end this synagogues pretty near the airport. I just went to a nearby synagogue and what this guy, but So he wondered and Al Qaeda terrorist. Who is in? U S prison, release and she's known as lady Al Qaeda, she has a really bad record. As a terrorist, being involved in terrorist activity and what what he believed is that you just have to find some Jews. That that you look at the anti semitic. Trove of of of Jews run the world and he believed in America, because Jews have so much power and they can Everything that he believes he just captured some Jews that that that they could pick up the phone
and call whoever they believe the Jews in charge and just order that the Al Qaeda terrorist released a man. It really was this, I believe that that that that, like You know, I don't know that that that all the rabbis know each other and and they can order at dawn and an it show. is the danger of of of this point. again the hateful rhetoric that these trope these lie. That are told led him to believe that that this would would get the action he wanted and and Obviously it didn't and then the terror wasn't wasn't released? And but thankfully, the hostages escaped and an escaped unharmed you know whenever it's raining, I always ask Shapiro, I say Ben make a phone call.
