Speaker 1 (00:00):
They they have the front pages of the Washington Post,
in the New York Times, and and all the stories
that apparently rank above the attempted assassination of a Supreme
Court justice, including a fairy accident in South Korea or
a giant snake discovered in the Amazon, or a number
of other stories that apparently rank above catching a guy
who's explicit purpose and showing up there with a gun,

(00:20):
as he has stated, was to kill a Supreme Court justice.
It's absolutely amazing. How do we how do we get here?
And by the way, those of you, if some of
you would react to the news of catching a guy
with a gun out of Ruth bader Ginsburg, outside of
bader Ginsberg's house back in the day with glee or
a shrug, well then you're part of the problem too.

(00:43):
We can't we can't have this, We can't go down
this road. Do you realize that? Or it all comes apart? Wow? Well,
where this leads is pretty obvious. It leads to it
actually happening. We have normalized every step up until the

(01:03):
guy who breaks the window and gets in. Now I
suspect that the security is going to be enhanced significantly.
Although the Senate nearly unanimously. I mean, a huge majority
of Senators acted voted to immediately increase the security for
Supreme Court justices. I mean to the point that they

(01:24):
will be safe. The House is refusing to vote on it.
They won't even vote on it because the Democrats have said, no, well,
we need enhance security for the clerks too, and the
employees and the stenographers and the janitors and everything else,
and so no, unless the Republicans will go along with that,
we're not going to vote to defend the lives of

(01:45):
the Supreme Court justices. I mean, I don't want Sonya
Soda mayor hurt or assassin. The idea of Elana Kagan
being hurt or killed horrifies me. It sickens me. Where
is the other side, good Lord? I think it was
this is the very uh, the very anniversary of the

(02:05):
day in nineteen fifty three when Joseph Welch said to
Senator Joseph McCarthy, have you no sense of decency? At
long last? Have you left no sense of decency? I
think that quote can be used in this discussion.
