Smuggle. Pope. Ah, the legally of

0:02

Arctic. There's no other way to

0:04

put this. The right wing of

0:06

the Supreme Court is against voting

0:08

rights. They find ways to create

0:11

barriers to people exercising their fundamental

0:13

constitutional right to vote. And they

0:15

did it again this week when

0:17

they decided that it was okay

0:19

for Texas to rule in its

0:22

mail and ballot requirements that only

0:24

sixty five year old Texas residents

0:26

are older without an excuse can

0:28

use a male and ballot. And

0:30

everybody who's younger than sixty five, eighteen to

0:32

sixty four, and three hundred and sixty four

0:35

days has to have some sort of valid

0:37

quote unquote excuse They have to present the

0:39

some sort of election official in order to

0:42

use a male and ballot in the United

0:44

States Supreme court said that's okay and they

0:46

didn't do it on full briefing. We did

0:48

even get that far. In order

0:51

for there to be a grant of an

0:53

appeal, grant of what we call a writ

0:55

of certiorari, at least four of the supreme

0:57

court after vote for that. but you have

0:59

to have five to block the rule to

1:01

block the Texas Mail and Ballot rule And

1:03

they're worried. five votes will let me do

1:05

the math for you. The her

1:07

as a six to three right

1:10

wing majority are United States supreme

1:12

court so if they couldn't find

1:14

the votes it's not because of

1:16

justice's so to my your cake

1:18

and or Qatar Djibril Jackson. They

1:21

needed one more. Offer

1:23

for our rid of Sirte to be

1:26

granted they needed to more in order

1:28

to have the thing up at and

1:30

have to stay out an emergency basis.

1:32

Granted look let let me talk about

1:34

voting rights or is for me no

1:36

more important fundamental constitutional right than the

1:38

right to vote. From the right to

1:41

vote. Comes. All other rights.

1:43

That's what separates us in a

1:45

democracy. a constitutional republic from those

1:47

that are not in a constant

1:49

republic where the leader of the

1:51

dictator gets eighty ninety or one

1:53

hundred and five percent of the

1:55

vote. Is. The Right to vote.

1:57

Now we don't at the constitution for a minute.

2:00

A go to a little bit of Professor Po

2:02

box with a little bit of a petri on

2:04

a Ted Talk meets law school moment right? There.

2:08

Is no where the original text

2:10

of the constitution before the amendments,

2:12

many of which came during the

2:14

reconstruction period after the Civil war

2:17

that mentions the right to vote.

2:19

It talks about the age of

2:21

people and a talks about different

2:23

things, but there is no defined

2:25

provision in the constitution of the

2:27

right to vote. Let's be frank,

2:29

the constitution is really about creating

2:31

our try parted government. three branches.

2:34

Article. One article to article three

2:36

all talk about Congress, presidency and

2:38

the judiciary, and then there's some

2:41

other left over language for other

2:43

things, but where we really luck?

2:46

To. Rights Of I'm A

2:48

Citizens. Even. Against the States,

2:50

we look to the Bill of Rights,

2:52

and we look to the amendments that

2:54

came after that in the reconstruction period,

2:56

particularly the Fourteenth Amendment. To when you

2:59

think. Voting. Rights You should

3:01

immediately think Fourteenth Amendment. That's the starting

3:03

point, not the ending point. But it's

3:05

a starting point. And it talks about

3:08

people. Having a requirement, there's

3:10

a constitutional requirements of it. A

3:12

read to you that they are

3:14

rights be protected under the law

3:16

Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment.

3:19

The starting points from voting analysis

3:21

is all persons born or naturalized

3:23

the United States are citizens of

3:25

the Us and no state shall

3:27

make or enforce any loss which

3:29

shall abridge the privileges or immunities

3:31

of citizens of the United States,

3:34

nor deprive any person of life,

3:36

liberty or property without due process.

3:38

And deny them equal protection under the

3:41

law that's restarted the forties about. So

3:43

for the mag, a right wing of

3:45

the Supreme Court's to say they don't

3:48

have a problem with another round of

3:50

hurdles being put on people's exercise of

3:52

their constitutional right to vote. Is

3:54

a bad thing. And. I don't want

3:57

them to get away with it without talking about it on a

3:59

hot take like this. Voting.

4:02

Should. Be Yes! Protections for fraud. Build

4:04

the wall around fraud. Would you

4:06

to bid fraud? You know the

4:08

point o o One percent of

4:11

Ballard said of tasks either on

4:13

purpose or inadvertently in the wrong

4:15

precinct. double counting your vote, your

4:17

mouth, you're dead mother in law's

4:19

ballot. You know, fraud, ballot stuffing

4:21

that we all agree on both

4:23

sides of the aisles and know

4:25

while the that should be police

4:27

to regulate. But

4:29

it is it. Infinitesimal amount of voter

4:32

fraud going on in America. This outcome

4:34

to top that determinative. We've had our

4:36

head of cyber Security for the United

4:38

States to the last election was the

4:41

most secure elections with no outcome. Determinative

4:43

fraud at off Department of Justice at

4:45

the same thing Every independent entity that

4:47

looked at it and even some there

4:50

were hired by Donald Trump off include

4:52

the same thing. We don't have a

4:54

fraud problem in this country so we

4:56

shouldn't be creating laws to kill a

4:59

problem. Doesn't exist. But.

5:01

That's with the Republic is what to do when

5:04

you hear voter. Voter. Fraud

5:06

law. Being. Proposed and

5:08

taxes and and George just another

5:10

battleground states as voter suppression law

5:12

that's code word. I. That's

5:15

Orwellian speak. They're not. try to

5:17

stop voter fraud to try to

5:19

suppress the vote. In

5:22

a civilized countries outside of

5:24

America. In our

5:26

with our European bread brethren or

5:28

Scandinavia tour easy to vote. You

5:31

can vote like you're voting it at a time machine. Yes,

5:34

Fingerprint scanner, Optical retinal scan. All sorts

5:36

of scans can be used to ensure

5:38

just like you do right now to

5:40

board a plane or use a global

5:43

entry or something like that Derby. Oh,

5:45

the technology has caught up with the

5:47

times we could do that. And.

5:49

Therefore, once they know who you are secure

5:52

Bow it could be in an electronic machine

5:54

like it A D M. It could be

5:56

dropped off in. Mail. And

5:58

ballot collection. Collection

6:01

are places. That.

6:03

Are better throughout. Why? Is

6:05

a live wire Elections only on election

6:07

day. Early. Voting should be

6:10

extensive. Early voting should start a month

6:12

before the election. It should

6:14

go on for I'm you know,

6:16

unabated. But the problem with our

6:18

constitution is that we have this

6:20

tension between the federal government and

6:22

the state. There's something will go.

6:24

Deep. Razors are annoying. The. Cut

6:27

You, they are day to and

6:29

they you. don't. Get me started

6:31

with subscription razor services. Can you

6:33

say glass? That's.

6:35

Why you gotta beat Had since

6:38

saving had said saving as a

6:40

family old aerospace parts manufacturers that

6:42

has made parts for the International

6:44

Space Station and Mars Rover and

6:46

now they're bringing precision engineering to.

6:48

you're Saving experience. If you're like

6:51

eighty eight percent of men who

6:53

experienced irritation from saving like me

6:55

around my beard, you might be

6:57

expecting the worst with each shave.

6:59

Yet, Henson users like me have

7:01

seen dramatic improvements including the disappearance

7:03

of ingrown hairs and razor. Bumps

7:06

sense in savings. Innovation comes from

7:08

an interesting. Analogy. Stick.

7:10

Of razor blades as diving boards.

7:12

the longer the board the more

7:15

it wobbles. The micro wobbles or

7:17

what lead to more Dicks and

7:19

Cuts Henson Solve this by minimizing

7:21

blade extensions. Addressing the root cause

7:24

of bad shape not the blade

7:26

itself, but the extension headsets. Aerospace

7:28

background has enabled the creation of

7:30

razors with unmatched precision. Using aerospace

7:32

great Cnc machines, they achieve a

7:35

blade extension of just point o'

7:37

o' one three inches less than

7:39

a human. Hair Sickness This incredibly

7:41

precise control over the blades positions and

7:43

shores a vibration free and incredibly close

7:46

shave. Their heads and razor works with

7:48

standard dual edged blade to give you

7:50

that old school shave with the benefits

7:52

of new school tax. Once you Oda

7:55

had said razor, it's only about three

7:57

to five dollars per year to replace

7:59

the. Late my first shave. the

8:01

clean up around my beard with

8:04

a heads and razor was incredibly

8:06

refreshing. The design a sleek and

8:08

the durability is exactly what you

8:10

want. and the affordability factor is

8:13

simply can't beat it. It's time

8:15

to say no to subscriptions and

8:17

yes to a razor that a

last you a lifetime visit. Henson

8:22

saving.com/legal I have to pick the

8:33

to add them to your carts.

8:35

That's what hundred free blades would

you had to. hensonshaving.com/legally Up and

8:40

Use Code Legal A S The

8:42

Feds and Congress when it's led

8:45

by. Democrats are always

8:47

try to pass voting laws

8:49

that are both protective of

8:51

that small infinitesimal voter fraud

8:53

problem I talked about, but

8:55

opens the doors to enhancing

8:58

or in enabling the right

9:00

to vote. And

9:02

nodded his bidding at suppressing it to where

9:04

the democrats are in power. They try to

9:06

get things like the John Lewis you know,

9:08

Voting Rights Act passed as that amendments to

9:10

the Voting Rights Act stay try to get

9:13

the Fair Vote Act passed but the can't

9:15

do it alone. And now

9:17

the though Republicans who are in charge of

9:19

Congress for now. There are they know

9:21

what that. Because. They're fearless. Leader

9:23

Donald Trump wants voter fraud to be

9:25

a campaign issue, even when it doesn't

9:27

exist. And so voter fraud. Think.

9:30

Voter suppression, Because.

9:33

Of that tension in our

9:35

constitution. Because. It doesn't

9:37

expressly say that the Federal

9:39

government. Controls. Everything literally

9:41

salud say federal elections. It's left

9:43

to the states. The states are

9:46

allowed. To. Regulate under our

9:48

Constitution Under under of what

9:50

are the one of the

9:53

main bodies of the constitution.

9:56

Any power not reserved for the

9:58

federal government is is. The is

10:00

in the states, the states habit. That's

10:03

the tension in our federal or state

10:05

system. And so while the federal government.

10:08

By. Way of a constitutional amendment

10:10

has the right. To

10:12

set time, place and manner. right?

10:15

Under the elections claw as a

10:17

Federal Elections, everything else is left

10:19

to the states as the voting

10:21

rights. So. That said, set

10:23

the time place in matter what day

10:25

the federal elections are gonna be, the

10:28

places they're going to be, the matter

10:30

in which voting happens And that's why

10:32

they have a little bit of control.

10:34

but they'd abdicate or delegate to the

10:36

states or the it's really a power

10:38

reserve to the states to set their

10:40

own voting laws. And now you got

10:42

the Supreme Court fully control by the

10:44

right wing. Six votes mega. Who.

10:47

Were like who haven't seen a voter?

10:50

Ah, I'm. A voter barrier

10:52

law that they have it endorsed.

10:54

And. Now they've rejected the to

10:57

democrats of Texas in their lawsuits

10:59

were are coming up from Texas.

11:02

Who's who's come to this court's

11:04

saying? Allow. And

11:07

brought in mail invading. Don't

11:10

make it just for sixty five year olds. Make

11:12

it for any one. Donald. Trump

11:14

mail in vote sees always veiled in voted

11:16

Stephanie ran for office and heated the photo

11:18

op of go down the lobby at a

11:21

pulled a little switch or whatever he was

11:23

doing to vote. He's. Always everybody's

11:25

May I mailed it voted. It's a secure and

11:27

safe As any other. I don't feel like I've

11:29

gotta go get my little paper receipt to know

11:32

that I voted. I know that I voted When

11:34

I mail it's the I'd States Postal Service delivers

11:36

it in, it's counted. Just. Like every

11:38

other year, And. In

11:40

other countries, they. Trust their

11:43

voters and their Elector to do the

11:45

right thing and of ferret out fraud

11:47

through other methods. They don't need a

11:49

secret fraud. Election fraud police like that

11:51

like to set the thousand Florida Trump's

11:54

proposing. Now it has campaigns, but now

11:56

you've got a Supreme Court As as

11:58

though that seems to be. Reasonable

12:00

restrictions. I don't think that violates

12:02

the Twenty Sixth Amendment or the

12:04

Fourteenth amendment. Texas is allowed to

12:06

say wow, they're valid ballots are

12:08

you are being used The problem

12:10

is that the trial court level

12:12

the trial court judge originally state

12:14

or to joined the mail in

12:16

a rule finding that it was

12:18

a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment

12:21

and other Reconstruction era members including

12:23

the Kkk asked because it put

12:25

it on. And on

12:27

constitutional burden on the right to

12:29

vote, especially below the age of

12:31

sixty five. And our constitution.

12:33

Starting with the amendments that happened in

12:35

Nineteen Seventy One lowering the vote. it's

12:37

voting age to eighteen and that was

12:40

we call the Twenty Sixth Amendment. Is

12:44

supposed to be no discrimination

12:46

in age. Of. Sixty four

12:48

year old is supposed to be discriminated

12:50

against and only a right to vote

12:52

by mail without a without at excuse

12:54

is only reserve for somebody. Sixty Five

12:56

we got rid of that the Twenty

12:58

Sixth Amendment but not according to this

13:00

United States Supreme for with who looked

13:02

around and couldn't find four votes meeting

13:04

They need one from the other six

13:07

right wing to join the three I'm

13:09

sure on the on the other side

13:11

of the aisles to Sue Grant of

13:13

Sir the petition let it be fully

13:15

briefed as let it come up for

13:17

oral argument. And then an ultimate decision by the

13:19

Supreme Court isn't Ness. We don't need to

13:21

take Deckers. Which signals

13:23

to the rest of the states including

13:26

the battleground states answer. The legislators in

13:28

those states has led the houses in

13:30

those states that they can pass very

13:32

restrictive. It was an endorsement of of

13:34

the. Of. These I'm

13:37

basically read controlled states

13:39

passing very restrictive voting

13:41
