| C-SPAN, Democracy Unfiltered. | ||
| Welcome to today's Washington Journal. | ||
| We're glad you're with us. | ||
| Before we get to your calls, here are a few things to show you. | ||
| This is the Truth Social Post in its entirety from President Trump. | ||
| He says this. | ||
| This radical left lunatic of a judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Obama, was not elected president. | ||
| He didn't win the popular vote by a lot. | ||
| He didn't win all seven swing states. | ||
| He didn't win 2,750 to 525 counties. | ||
| He didn't win anything. | ||
| I won for many reasons. | ||
| In an overwhelming mandate, but fighting illegal immigration may have been the number one reason for this historic victory. | ||
| I'm just doing what the voters wanted me to do. | ||
| This judge, like many of the crooked judges I'm forced to appear before, should be impeached. | ||
| We don't want vicious, violent, and demented criminals, many of them deranged murderers, in our country. | ||
| Make America great again. | ||
| That prompted Chief Justice John Roberts to issue a statement, and here's a portion of that where he says this. | ||
| For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. | ||
| The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose. | ||
| And President Trump was on Fox News yesterday and he was asked about Justice Roberts' statement and if he would defy a judicial order. | ||
| What's your reaction to the courts stepping in to make a statement here? | ||
| They didn't make a statement when Joe Biden decided to forgive all those student loans. | ||
| Well, he didn't mention my name in the statement. | ||
| I just saw it quickly. | ||
| He didn't mention my name, but many people have called for his impeachment, the impeachment of this judge. | ||
| I don't know who the judge is, but he's radical left. | ||
| He was Obama appointed. | ||
| And he actually said we shouldn't be able to take criminals, killers, murderers, horrible, the worst people, gang members, gang leaders, that we shouldn't be allowed to take them out of our country. | ||
| Well, that's a presidential job. | ||
| That's not for a local judge to be making that determination. | ||
| And I thought it was terrible. | ||
| In fact, he said when they were well on their way, there was an order issued, as I understand it, to bring them back or to not let them go or something. | ||
| And this is not something that the country would stand for. | ||
| These people, they were led in here by an incompetent president who had open borders and anybody throughout the world could come in. | ||
| And we were given murderers. | ||
| We were given people from mental institutions and prisons. | ||
| The judge is essentially saying, excuse me, Mr. President, that there still is a process in place. | ||
| You can read between the lines. | ||
| It hasn't been a full ruling yet. | ||
| I know your Justice Department is appealing this on a couple of different grounds, but this is leading people to wonder whether there are court orders that you will defy because you believe that the judge has no jurisdiction or they're political questions and not justiciable at all. | ||
| And what would you say to that? | ||
| Are there circumstances where you would defy a court order? | ||
| Well, I think that, number one, nobody's been through more courts than I have. | ||
| I think nobody knows the courts any better than I have. | ||
| I would say the chief judge does, but nobody knows them better than I have. | ||
| And what they've done to me, I've had the worst judges. | ||
| I've had crooked judges. | ||
| I have judges that valued Mar-a-Lago at $18 million because that benefited his case, because he wanted to see me convicted of something. | ||
| I have judges that had relatives making millions and millions of dollars on the election, ruling on the election. | ||
| Going forward, I had judges. | ||
| Would you defy a court order? | ||
| We all know that. | ||
| I never did defy a court order. | ||
| And you wouldn't in the future? | ||
| No, you can't do that. | ||
| However, we have bad judges. | ||
| We have very bad judges. | ||
| And these are judges that shouldn't be allowed. | ||
| I think at a certain point, you have to start looking at what do you do when you have a rogue judge. | ||
| That was yesterday evening. | ||
| And we are taking your calls. | ||
| We'll start with Deepak in Bellflower, California, Independent. | ||
| Good morning, Deepak. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning, America. | |
| Good morning. | ||
| How are you? | ||
| Good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I believe Donald Trump is stepping over the boundary lines of constitutions. | ||
| You know, I voted for him, but this is, you know, when a judge gives an order, you're supposed to obey, you know, not go over the borderline. | ||
| He thinks he's the God of America or the whole world. | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| You know, you've got to follow the law, the Constitution. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| This guy's, you know, he should be impeached, not the judges. | ||
| Just because you don't like or we disagree, that doesn't mean you impeach somebody. | ||
| You know, you've got to follow the law. | ||
| And Deepak, you said that you voted for President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I voted for him because I thought he would do the, you know, he would do it because of immigration that, but that doesn't mean you have to over, you know, you've got to follow the law, even if you want to get rid of immigrant illegal and all that. | |
| We got to, we have a process system, do the process. | ||
| We've got to do it properly, not this ridiculous way. | ||
| Why do we have a constitution? | ||
| We don't need a constitution if we do it like this way. | ||
| If we want to run the country, then why do we have laws? | ||
| If you go over 65 miles per hour, if you go over, the cop stops you. | ||
| All right, Deepak. | ||
| And here is Fox News that says this impeachment articles hit judge who ordered Trump to stop Trenda Aragua deportation flights. | ||
| It says that a House GOP lawmaker has filed, that's Brandon Gill of Texas, has filed impeachment articles against the federal judge who ordered the Trump administration to stop deportation flights being conducted under the Alien Enemies Act. | ||
| It says for the past several weeks, we have seen several rogue activist judges try to impede the president from exercising not only the mandate voters gave him, but his democratic and constitutional authority to keep the American people safe. | ||
| This is another example of a rogue judge overstepping his authority. | ||
| That was a quote from Brandon Gill, a Republican lawmaker of Texas. | ||
| And this is Melissa in Inverness, Florida, Republican. | ||
| Good morning, Melissa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning. | |
| My thoughts on the issue is that if you have a judge that may possibly be corrupt and is only following the law to his or her own gain, then yeah, they should be torn, you know, impeached or thrown out because there are parts of the government that are corrupt. | ||
| So in this case, do you think that that's the case with this particular judge? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do think that because, you know, obviously I voted for Trump, but he's not popular. | |
| But the reason he's not popular is because he's driving a pathway to where none of the Democrats are having their pockets lined with money anymore. | ||
| They're losing money. | ||
| They're losing kickbacks. | ||
| Sorry, but going back to the judge, Melissa, you said that he was ruling in this case for his own benefit. | ||
| Can you explain why you think that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
One more second. | |
| All right, I'll read it. | ||
| Margaret in Anderson, South Carolina, Democrat, good morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning. | |
| Go right ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The only thing that I have to say this morning is Trump is too uneducated to be president. | |
| And that's all I have to say. | ||
| Margaret. | ||
| Tom in Leesburg, Virginia, Independent. | ||
| Hi, Tom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, good morning, and thanks for C-SPAN. | |
| I'm so grateful for all you do. | ||
| At least we can try and help people get a little more educated. | ||
| It seems to me like we've got this presidency that they want to destroy everything that's worked for a long time, whether it's international aid or education. | ||
| They want to remove the Department of Education. | ||
| They probably need to quadruple it. | ||
| But above all this, I'm watching a president that has no understanding of the judiciary. | ||
| He has no understanding of how courts work other than he's always on the victim side of everything. | ||
| And he's become just a big whiner. | ||
| And, you know, he didn't run like this. | ||
| And these people, this congressman just said that there was a mandate. | ||
| Well, that's a different definition than my understanding of it. | ||
| So I'm just hoping that maybe he'll, you know, they'll give him some pills and a little breakfast and have him sit down and stare out the window a bit because I think he's just like in over his head. | ||
| He seems to, he reminds me of people I know that used to drink like 10 cups of coffee. | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
| I just, I'm not too thrilled with him. | ||
| I didn't vote for him, but he can't just sit here and start picking off this judge and the other for what their decisions are. | ||
| That's their job. | ||
| Their job is to say you're out of line. | ||
| This isn't working or you're not following the law. | ||
| He thinks he's above the law. | ||
| He thinks he's a king. | ||
| He literally thinks he's a king. | ||
| And it's like, you know, I just worry that this country is going to start spinning in some other direction. | ||
| They're talking about now, I saw this thing where the Kennedy Center wants to bring in the choir from the prison for the guys who broke into the Capitol, broke the windows, created mayhem, and now they're pardoned. | ||
| And it's like, you know, where do you draw the line on this stuff? | ||
| They're going to start lionizing these people that were basically thugs. | ||
| You know, if this was the banana republic, and here is Trump Orders are Tom Homan on Fox News. | ||
| This is from Monday on the legal pushback to the administration's agenda. | ||
| Every day, the men and women of ICE are going to be in the neighborhoods of this nation arresting criminal, illegal, alien, public safety threats, and national security threats. | ||
| Lawrence, you're not going to stop us. | ||
| We made a promise to the American people. | ||
| The President Trump has made a promise to the American people. | ||
| We're going to make this country safe again. | ||
| I wake up every morning loving my job because I work for the greatest president in the history of my life, and we're going to make this country safe again. | ||
| I'm proud to be a part of this administration. | ||
| We're not stopping. | ||
| I don't care what the judges think. | ||
| I don't care what the left thinks. | ||
| We're coming. | ||
| There, he was the border czar saying that he doesn't think what he doesn't care what the judges think. | ||
| We want to know what you think about that. | ||
| And this is Carol, a Republican in Massachusetts. | ||
| Hi, Carol. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I agree with what the gentleman just said. | |
| And good morning to you and everyone. | ||
| President Trump was overwhelmingly voted into office. | ||
| And the reason I think he was voted into office, as you already know, is to do something about this immigration situation that was caused by the Bidens. | ||
| We now have a number of criminals and illegal aliens in our country. | ||
| I agree with what Trump's doing. | ||
| And all these judges and Democratic judges and people are trying to stop him from doing what he promised to do and what the American people wanted him to do. | ||
| And if you don't agree with what he's doing and think you want these criminals in the country and these illegal aliens in the country and you're paying taxes for them, then I think all these people should be new. | ||
| You should take them into your house and they should live in your neighborhood and you should walk the streets and be threatened by them and put out of their apartment. | ||
| And maybe all the people who are for all this immigration, you pay the taxes to pay for them. | ||
| And we'll divide the country that way. | ||
| If you're for it, you pay the taxes. | ||
| If you're against it, then don't charge my taxes. | ||
| It costs me my money, take my money to pay for people's apartments and cars. | ||
| Getting back to this particular situation, you think that this judge should be impeached because of his ruling on immigration? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think the law can be used however they want to use it. | |
| Whenever a problem comes up, one lawyer or another lawyer will find a reason to either enforce it or find something else for a reason not to enforce it. | ||
| There's thousands of laws on the book. | ||
| The papers are as high as the Empire State Building. | ||
| No matter what comes up, and they oppose it, they'll find a law some way to help oppose it. | ||
| All right, Carol. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| Here's Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, who says this on X. | ||
| No matter what you think of the result, Trump's defiance of court orders, as his border czar puts it, quote, I don't care what the judges think, is jaw-droppingly dangerous. | ||
| No matter your party, you need to see how dark and destructive this direction is for our democracy. | ||
| Hopefully, SCOTUS will. | ||
| Here's Anthony, a Democrat in Staten Island, New York. | ||
| Hi, Anthony. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How are you, ma'am? | |
| Listen, you want to start impeaching judges? | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Let's start with the one that is the most corrupt, Clarence Thomas. | ||
| The man is taking trips, taking a lot of things, and Trump loves him. | ||
| So, you know, he should really be impeached. | ||
| He should be disbarred or whatever. | ||
| He doesn't stand for anything. | ||
| America stands for. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And here is Rush in East McKeesport, Pennsylvania, Independent Line. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning, Mimi. | |
| It's you again. | ||
| Is that a good thing or a bad thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Every time I call it you, yeah, I don't think Trump's doing the wrong thing there with the judge thing. | |
| But, you know, in my opinion, judges and lawyers and this and that and the other, when I saw O.J. Simpson walk after he admitted what he did driving down on that Bronco with his buddy driving it. | ||
| Now, when he walked, because it's the glove didn't fit, you must acquit thing. | ||
| That's where I lost the whole judicial system. | ||
| I'm 73 years old. | ||
| So we do have a lot of problems here. | ||
| Now, personally, I have a Haitian girl that lives right next door to me, and she's brought two of her cousins over. | ||
| I get along fine with them, but the neighbors are having some problems. | ||
| I got to watch what I say to my neighbors now. | ||
| In fact, she called me the other day. | ||
| She works at Amazon as a big place here, and she just had rotor tough, tough surgery. | ||
| She hurt herself at work, and she's almost in tears. | ||
| And we talked for a good while there. | ||
| So, Rush, what do you think should be done about judges that you disagree with? | ||
| Do you just, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You have to realize Trump says all these things. | |
| Die in Greenland, changed the Gulf of Mexico. | ||
| I don't even know if he changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico Gulf. | ||
| He has all these big grandiose things that he says, but I don't think, I think most, depending on who they're gathering up, but if we have 10 million illegals, | ||
|
unidentified
|
and if they're very bad ones that have been doing murder or this or that, I guess you're still, if they're not American citizens, I mean, if you cross the border, what type of, does the law still pertain to them? | |
| I guess it does, probably more so than it does an American. | ||
| I think he's overstepping his bounds there, but I've even heard him say that he would never go against the law or whatever, but I guess he is. | ||
| So I'd impeach him, you know, see how that sticks. | ||
| He seems to get away from that. | ||
| Okay, thanks, Mamie. | ||
| All right, Rush. | ||
| Here is Jane on Facebook saying, do it, Congress. | ||
| Corrupt biased judges are the path to becoming a permanently corrupt nation. | ||
| Deporting illegal alien criminals is exactly what President Trump should do, can do, and was elected to do. | ||
| And this is Glenn in Boise, Idaho, Republican. | ||
| Good morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Morning. | |
| How are you today? | ||
| Good. | ||
| What do you think of the call for impeaching judges? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Every judge takes an oath to uphold the law, not be biased. | ||
| And clearly, a lot of these judges are biased. | ||
| Now, if there was a Democrat in the White House today deporting illegals, the judges wouldn't say squat. | ||
| So they need to impeach every one of them, regardless of their party affiliation. | ||
| So based on otherwise, we're going to continue to be a corrupt country. | ||
| So based on what, Glenn, when you say impeach every one of them, everyone that what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everyone that's violating the law. | |
| Where does the law, where does the judge have the right to say to bring back these illegals? | ||
| Where does he have the authority to say that? | ||
| Like I said, if there was a Democrat in the White House and he sent them to El Salvador, the judge wouldn't say a dang thing. | ||
| So here's what Chief Justice Roberts said. | ||
| He said, when you disagree with a judicial decision, you use the appellate review process, not impeaching them. | ||
| Impeaching them is for crimes. | ||
| What do you think of that? | ||
| Do you agree with that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I'd have to think about it and look into it more. | ||
| I wasn't aware of what you just said. | ||
| I'd have to look into it more. | ||
| But how come these far-left judges are the only ones fighting Trump on everything he wants to do to help make this country better and safer for people? | ||
| And here's Maverick in Las Vegas, Democrat. | ||
| Good morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning, Mimi. | |
| I've been somewhat astounded at listening to these callers who seem to be very ignorant of the law. | ||
| Fact of the matter is, no one has said that these immigrants should at least have some part of the judicial process. | ||
| All of a sudden, ICE can go round up people and export them. | ||
| The major thing that I see in this country is Fox News. | ||
| If you would just watch other things and get a background on what's going on for real, you would find out that Trump has had people in the White House that he liked until he didn't like. | ||
| He has judges that he liked until he doesn't like them. | ||
| He is not a king. | ||
| He cannot have everything his way. | ||
| And if you stop listening to Fox News and stop trying to act like this man is the victim, we'll be a much better country for it. | ||
| Otherwise, we're going to lose it. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| And this is what Representative Andre Carson says, a Republican. | ||
| He says, Trump continues to lose in court. | ||
| He's losing in front of Bush judges and Biden judges, Obama judges and Reagan judges. | ||
| He's even losing in front of judges who Trump himself appointed in his first term. | ||
| And that was on X. | ||
| And this is Volcker in Royalton, Minnesota, Independent Line. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, morning. | |
| Yeah, to make a sound opinion, I'd need to need more, need to know more specifics about those 261 cases. | ||
| How long were they in the United States? | ||
| Did they have a court hearing? | ||
| I mean, just somebody saying, well, there's 261 criminals and they do this and that. | ||
| That's too wishy-washy. | ||
| I'd need the facts to make a sound opinion. | ||
| That's my opinion. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And this is what Warren Davidson said on X. As Judge Boesberg attempts to cover his crooked tracks, he is proving the folly of his assault on our Constitution. | ||
| I gladly support SWIFT impeachment. | ||
| I hope President Trump continues to expose them all. | ||
| And here is Reck in Ackworth, Georgia, Republican. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning. | |
| Thank you so much for taking my call. | ||
| First of all, I'd like to say how disappointed I am. | ||
| This is off-subject, and just real quick, how disappointed I am, Chief Stan. | ||
| The biggest news story of the year you're not covering is the rescue by SpaceX of the astronauts. | ||
| And I think you and I and everybody listening knows why you're not covering it. | ||
| And it doesn't need to be said. | ||
| Now, back on the subject. | ||
| This is just a matter of interpretation. | ||
| It will be dealt with through the law. | ||
| And in a month, it'll be old hat. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| And Reck, here is the article. | ||
| This is the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Here's the front page. | ||
| After nine months, astronauts return home. | ||
| That is on the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| And this is Hiram in Fayetteville, Georgia, Democrat. | ||
| Good morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning. | |
| Yes, I'm putting for him to. | ||
| Hiram, you got to turn down your TV because we can hear it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, everybody looks for why you're not there. | |
| I'm putting for him to enter all the judges, even those that he's appointed. | ||
| He is crooked and he's letting the crookie judges give him a lot of trouble. | ||
| Especially that judge and hire more. | ||
| Sorry, we're getting a lot of noise. | ||
| You there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm here. | |
| Okay, go ahead. | ||
| You said you want to impeach all the judges? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, all of them. | |
| Even especially the ones he got appointed. | ||
| And why is that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because they're letting him off the hook. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Graham in DeWest, South Carolina, Independent Line. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi. | |
| How's it going? | ||
| Hi, go right ahead, Graham. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd just like to say that all this talk of impeaching judges, I think there are judges on both sides of the spectrum that deserve being impeached. | |
| But as far as the borders are saying that he doesn't care what the judges think, well, I've got one comment for him. | ||
| That's what the Second Amendment is for. | ||
| Here is Janice in Chula Vista, California, Republican. | ||
| Good morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning. | |
| I truly believe that these Democrat-appointed judges have lost their minds. | ||
| They are not the ones who have been appointed or voted to run the country. | ||
| That is the president's job. | ||
| They are not the executive branch. | ||
| They are not to tell the president how to run the country. | ||
| Judge Juan Rashan is one who should be impeached as well. | ||
| And all of these judges have relatives, daughters, sons that are working with the Democrats, NGOs, raising funds for the Democrats. | ||
| I mean, it's a conflict of interest straight off the top. | ||
| And at the end of the day, I don't know where were all of these judges at when Biden was opening our borders and letting in millions of illegals. | ||
| I mean, it's like if they don't like what Trump does, then they run to a judge, an appointed Democrat appointed judge. | ||
| And then these judges know that they are out of order. | ||
| They're not, they don't even have the jurisdiction to be making all of these rulings. | ||
| You're going to tell a plane to turn around in midair? | ||
| I mean, that is utterly ridiculous. | ||
| And the only reason that this judge is going there like he is, in my opinion, is because he got his face cracked and Trump won. | ||
| Who in the world wants illegal criminals, rapists, and murderers to be returned to the United States of America? | ||
| This makes absolutely no sense. | ||
| All this is about is going there to stop Trump's agenda. | ||
| Nothing more, nothing less. | ||
| It is total idiocracy. | ||
| And in the midterms, I hope everybody remembers that the Democrats support illegal criminal aliens. | ||
| They do not support the American people. | ||
| If it wasn't for their insense, hatred about Trump, maybe they would have some common sense because none of this makes any sense. | ||
| I mean, and this is President Trump on Air Force One. | ||
| A reporter asked him about the use of the Alien Enemies Act. | ||
| Here he is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sir, there's been some criticism that the Alien Enemies Act has only been invoked three other times. | |
| They were all during times of war. | ||
| Do you feel that you're using it appropriately right now? | ||
| Well, this is a time of war because Biden allowed millions of people, many of them criminals, many of them at the highest level. | ||
| They emptied jails out. | ||
| Other nations emptied their jails into the United States. | ||
| It's an invasion. | ||
| And these are criminals, many, many criminals. | ||
| Murderers, drug dealers at the highest level, drug lords, people from mental institutions. | ||
| That's an invasion. | ||
| They invaded our country. | ||
| So this isn't, in that sense, this is war. | ||
| And we're taking your calls for the next half hour on this issue of impeaching judges. | ||
| And if you think that's appropriate, this is Basil in Washingtonville, New York, Independent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| I don't have no sympathy for a lot of these judges, although I think that the president has no right to attack the judicial system. | ||
| But for many years, the judicial system has worked against black people in this country. | ||
| So now that it's happening to other people, what about the injustice that's been done within the judicial system against black people in this country? | ||
| And that's all I have to say. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And this is Joseph in Richmond, Virginia. | ||
| Democrat, good morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning. | |
| What do you think, Joseph? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think if you're going to impeach any judges, it should be the Supreme Court judges that Trump appointed because they gave him the thought that he can do absolutely anything he wants to do, and it's okay. | |
| So he's taking that and he's running with this. | ||
| So if any judges need to be impeached, it should be those Supreme Court judges that keep going along with him. | ||
| And here is Kevin in Landa Lakes, Florida, Republican. | ||
| Good morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning. | |
| Hey, I just wanted to make a point with regards to Republicans and Democrats. | ||
| This one says that one. | ||
| This one says that. | ||
| All you need to do, and I'd hope you guys would pull this up. | ||
| It's on CNN, AOC, while Biden was president and the judges were saying that what he was doing was illegal. | ||
|

She specifically said that he should ignore the judges. | |
| And now you guys are making a big fuss about Trump ignoring the judges. | ||
| So what is it? | ||
| Is it okay for the Democrats to ignore the judges or only the Republicans? | ||
| And I wanted to also add to what the woman just said about the judge that just issued the return of the prisoners. | ||
| His daughter works for an NGO, which are the most corrupt pieces of our government. | ||
| I don't know why we even have one of them in our government. | ||
| We should shut all funding to every NGO in the world off today. | ||
| But his daughter specifically represents foreign illegal criminal people in the system. | ||
| That's what his sister, his daughter, does for a living and makes money off of it. | ||
| And now he's ruling on you can't do that. | ||
| Judges are supposed to recuse themselves for that reason, just like Judge Mershon should have recused himself for his daughter's activities that are closely tied to a decision he would be in. | ||

So I haven't heard any Republican judges have conflicts of interest like that, where the people of America need to know. | |
| And that's all I need to really say is we need to be fair and equal, plain and simple. | ||
| You can't have family relatives making millions of dollars off of your decisions as a judge. | ||
| It's totally unacceptable. | ||
| Got it, Kevin. | ||
| And this is in USA Today. | ||
| Bomb threat made against sister of Supreme Court Justice Amy Comey Barrett. | ||
| It said this happened in Charleston, South Carolina over the weekend, according to local police. | ||
| The Charleston Police Department responded to a politically charged email regarding the justice's sister, Amanda Coney Williams, on Monday. | ||
| Unnamed writer of the email claimed to have created and placed a pipe bomb inside Williams' mailbox that would detonate if opened, according to a police report. | ||
| And this is Renee in Imlay City, Michigan, Independent Line. | ||

Hi. | |

Oh, thank you. | |
| I think that we, as Americans, need to just get back to not looking at things through a Republican or Democratic scope, but just kind of vetting each individual event. | ||
| And I think we've got a lot of things that we can come together on that are problem and problematic in the world. | ||
| And we can all agree that we don't want high crime and we don't want our sons, daughters terrorized and fentanyl and drugs, and all that. | ||
| We could say that we do, but we also have to remember that there's a process that we just cannot deviate from. | ||
| And we don't know. | ||
| I mean, I'm not definitely a lawyer, so I have no idea really the process that needs to be taken, but we just can agree that following the law and taking the processes that are set in place seriously is kind of what has to happen before we just jump to the solution, you know, that we all want, which is a safer environment for our kids and safer America. | ||
| But yeah, that's all I have to say is that, you know, I feel like we'd all get along a little bit better if we kind of just looked at: did we follow the process? | ||
| Did we follow what we're supposed to do to reach that common goal? | ||
| Here's Andy, a Democrat in Portland, Oregon. | ||
| Good morning, Andy. | ||

Good morning, Mimi. | |
| It fascinates me how people who can come up with such simple solutions to every issue that they don't agree with that. | ||
| You know, we want to impeach all the judges. | ||
| We want to peach the Democratic judges, the Republican judges. | ||
| There's a whole legal process that, you know, that's available to everyone. | ||
| And if they don't like the outcome of the judge's decision, they can always appeal. |
