| The justices spent two and a half hours yesterday um peppering the lawyers on that. | |
| That's a long time for those justices to spend on a case. | |
| Uh they could have decided this case in the summer. | |
| They did not. | |
| They chose to put it back on the docket. | |
| It's not something that they do often. | |
| Uh we see them only doing that when they're poised to make um a big change at the court. | |
| This case is about fairness. | |
| This qu this case is about equal protection. | |
| This case is about a colorblind constitution. | |
| And I think the chief understands that. | |
| I think for 20 years, the chief has been trying to untangle the court out of redistricting. | |
| And yet instead of that, he's placed the court deeper into redistricting at each and every one of the cases that the court has decided. | |
| So it's like this web. | |
| They keep trying to get out of the web, and every time they took a case, they only ended up further entangled. | |
| This is the case that could entangle it. | |
| Justice Roberts had uh a quote that I've been using throughout many interviews um many years ago on a redistricting case, and he said the best way to stop discriminating based upon race is to stop discriminating based upon race. | |
| And so that's the trick bag that the court has consistently placed themselves in. | |
| And each time Roberts has tried to maneuver the court away from redistricting cases, it's only further entangled them in it. | |
| And so I think that the chief is really looking for an opportunity to free the court's docket of these redistricting cases, uh, because I believe that he believes what I believe, and that the equal protection uh clause of the Constitution is a powerful clause and that the Constitution is a colorblind constitution today. | |
| And um and so I I think that that this case is important to the chief, and that's why you saw him take a more uh measured approach. | |
| Uh I think he knows where where he wants to land this case. |
