Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / FAA in Technology Crisis, Drug Price Shakedown & Can One Judge take the Power of POTUS
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: If you take a look at the pharmaceutical and drug cuts,
- 0:04Speaker 1: they're so massive that I think a lot of Democrats
- 0:07Speaker 1: have to vote for the bill number one, number two,
- 0:10Speaker 1: even if I didn't do this today, even if there
- 0:12Speaker 1: was no such thing as he's you know, fifty to
- 0:14Speaker 1: ninety percent cuts.
- 0:15Speaker 2: I mean, think of it.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Will we're buying You're selling drugs in other countries for
- 0:20Speaker 1: five times more than.
- 0:22Speaker 2: A cost in the United States. How horrible that is anyway,
- 0:24Speaker 2: but that's going to.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Be a thing of the bet.
- 0:27Speaker 4: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
- 0:31Speaker 5: Good Saturday morning to you.
- 0:32Speaker 6: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are some of the
- 0:35Speaker 6: stories that you may have missed that we talked about
- 0:38Speaker 6: this week on the forty seven Morning Update. First up,
- 0:41Speaker 6: in a shocking report, we're finding out just how bad
- 0:45Speaker 6: things are at the FAA, including the fact that the
- 0:48Speaker 6: equipment is so antiquated that they're having to buy replacement
- 0:52Speaker 6: parts on eBay, Donald Trump pledging he's going to fix
- 0:56Speaker 6: and overhaul the entire system. Up next, a massive deal
- 1:00Speaker 6: on prescription drug prices. And finally, I will be joined
- 1:05Speaker 6: by a good friend of mine, my former roommate who's
- 1:07Speaker 6: now the West Virginia Attorney General, who is standing up
- 1:11Speaker 6: to make sure that these activist judges in these district
- 1:14Speaker 6: courts are not actually making rulings that would take away
- 1:18Speaker 6: the power of the presidency. It's the forty seven Morning Update,
- 1:22Speaker 6: and it starts right now.
- 1:23Speaker 4: Story number one.
- 1:24Speaker 6: In a shocking revelation, we now have found out that
- 1:28Speaker 6: the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, is relying on such
- 1:33Speaker 6: outdated technology that the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, has disclosed
- 1:38Speaker 6: that the agency is forced to purchase replacement parts on
- 1:42Speaker 6: platforms like eBay due to how obsolete their current systems are.
- 1:48Speaker 6: The administration is now promising that there will be a
- 1:52Speaker 6: massive overhaul the system, but it could take years to accomplish.
- 1:57Speaker 6: Sean Duffy doing a sit down interview with CBS this
- 2:02Speaker 6: morning explaining just how bad the system is and why
- 2:06Speaker 6: Donald Trump has told him it's time to overhaul it
- 2:09Speaker 6: as fast as we can.
- 2:11Speaker 7: Our main mission is safety, and so if there's any
- 2:14Speaker 7: concern with safety, we slow down traffic and there might
- 2:16Speaker 7: be delayed there might be cancelations, and we take those
- 2:20Speaker 7: precautions to make sure that you get from your departure
- 2:23Speaker 7: city to your arrival city.
- 2:26Speaker 3: But it's gonna take a little bit of time.
- 2:27Speaker 7: Now, the main line that feeds information into Newark that
- 2:31Speaker 7: went down, the secondary line didn't stand up, and so
- 2:35Speaker 7: both lines are now working. We have a little bit
- 2:37Speaker 7: of issues with our air traffic controllers. Some of them
- 2:39Speaker 7: have stepped out of the tower they were stressed. So
- 2:42Speaker 7: we're training new individuals in the Philly Traycon which services Newark,
- 2:47Speaker 7: and we're building a whole new fiber driven system down
- 2:51Speaker 7: in Philly that does serve that Traycon or the Nework airport.
- 2:55Speaker 7: So it doesn't weren't a situation where you know, it's
- 2:57Speaker 7: gonna take us a little bit of time. I hope
- 2:59Speaker 7: by this summer we're going to be fully functioning.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:02Speaker 8: I was going to say, mister Duffie, what does that
- 3:04Speaker 8: mean when you say a little bit of time you
- 3:05Speaker 8: say by the summer, because I'm thinking the problem with
- 3:08Speaker 8: Newark is when you hear the screens went down and
- 3:10Speaker 8: no one seemed to be able to explain that. You
- 3:12Speaker 8: don't think we have to worry about that happening again.
- 3:14Speaker 3: You think they've corrected that.
- 3:16Speaker 7: Problem well in Newark, both lines are working and so
- 3:20Speaker 7: you know, listen, yes, and if both lines do go down,
- 3:22Speaker 7: there are emergency procedures, backup procedures that we take to
- 3:25Speaker 7: talk to airplanes to make sure they stay separated.
- 3:27Speaker 3: But Gail, I'm concerned.
- 3:29Speaker 7: I mean this system that we use many much of
- 3:32Speaker 7: the equipment you have to buy an ebait. No one
- 3:34Speaker 7: makes it anymore. That's how old the system is that
- 3:37Speaker 7: we fly on today, which is why yesterday I called
- 3:40Speaker 7: for a brand new infrastructure plan to rebuild everything across
- 3:44Speaker 7: the spectrum for air traffic control. It is well overdue
- 3:48Speaker 7: in America, and I think what you've seen in Newark
- 3:51Speaker 7: is you're having failings. And when you have the failings,
- 3:53Speaker 7: you take a look at the whole system and could
- 3:55Speaker 7: other parts, you know, have issues.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Of course it could have issues.
- 3:59Speaker 7: But that's why it's all the action to do this
- 4:00Speaker 7: for America so you always feel safe in your flying gale.
- 4:03Speaker 6: Thank goodness to Trump administration is willing to take on
- 4:06Speaker 6: a problem that every other administration just wanted.
- 4:09Speaker 5: To kick the can down the road.
- 4:11Speaker 6: And we'll finally be able to know that we have
- 4:13Speaker 6: a system that's reliable and safe and parts are no
- 4:16Speaker 6: longer being bought on eBay. Next story number two, Major
- 4:20Speaker 6: victory number one for the American people is going to
- 4:24Speaker 6: have a massive impact on so many Americans that deal
- 4:28Speaker 6: with high costs of prescription drugs.
- 4:31Speaker 5: Here is what you need to.
- 4:33Speaker 6: Know about what the President has done to lower the
- 4:36Speaker 6: price of prescription drugs for all Americans. The announcement and
- 4:41Speaker 6: the action put forth saying American patients will be first
- 4:46Speaker 6: instead of the pharmaceutical companies by Donald Trump will have
- 4:49Speaker 6: an impact for every American. Now, this should not be
- 4:52Speaker 6: a conservative or liberal, or Republican or democratic issue, yet
- 4:57Speaker 6: Democrats are angry about it. So let me tell tell
- 5:00Speaker 6: you exactly how this is going to have an impact
- 5:02Speaker 6: on you. First up, the President said that we are
- 5:06Speaker 6: now going to have most favored nation prescription drug pricing,
- 5:12Speaker 6: saying we are going to pay the lowest price that
- 5:14Speaker 6: there is in the world.
- 5:15Speaker 5: Here's the President in his own words.
- 5:18Speaker 1: But it's called most favored nation. We are going to
- 5:20Speaker 1: pay the lowest price there is in the world. We
- 5:23Speaker 1: will get whoever is paying the lowest price. That's the
- 5:26Speaker 1: price that we're going to get. So remember that. So
- 5:28Speaker 1: we're no longer paying ten times more than another country.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Whoever is paying the lowest price.
- 5:34Speaker 1: We will look at that price and we will say
- 5:36Speaker 1: that's the price we're going to pay.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Most favored nations. That's what it is.
- 5:40Speaker 1: One breast cancer drug costs Americans over sixteen thousand dollars
- 5:46Speaker 1: per bottle, but the same drug from the same factory,
- 5:49Speaker 1: manufactured by the same company is one sixth that price
- 5:53Speaker 1: in Australia and one tenth that price in Sweden.
- 5:57Speaker 2: One tent for the identical product.
- 5:59Speaker 1: A common as ma drug costs almost five hundred dollars
- 6:02Speaker 1: here in America, but costs less than forty dollars in
- 6:05Speaker 1: the United Kingdom. So forty dollars in the United Kingdom,
- 6:09Speaker 1: which is where this gentleman told me he paid a
- 6:11Speaker 1: small amount for his shot. But think of that, So
- 6:14Speaker 1: forty dollars versus five hundred dollars.
- 6:17Speaker 6: Here, forty compared to five hundred dollars. The difference between
- 6:21Speaker 6: the UK and the US. Now, let me explain more
- 6:24Speaker 6: about this order. The order directs the US Trade Representative
- 6:27Speaker 6: and the Secretary of Commerce to take action to ensure
- 6:31Speaker 6: foreign countries are not engaged in practices that purposefully and
- 6:35Speaker 6: unfairly undercut market prices and drive price hikes in the
- 6:40Speaker 6: United States. All what I'm giving you right now is
- 6:43Speaker 6: coming directly from the White House. I want to make
- 6:45Speaker 6: that very clear. Number Two, the order instructs the Administration
- 6:49Speaker 6: to communicate price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers to establish that America,
- 6:54Speaker 6: the largest purchaser and funder of prescription drugs in the world,
- 6:59Speaker 6: gets the best price. The Secretary of Health and Human
- 7:02Speaker 6: Services is going to establish a mechanism through which American
- 7:06Speaker 6: patients can buy their drugs directly from manufacturers who sell
- 7:10Speaker 6: to Americans at a quote most favored nation price, bypassing
- 7:16Speaker 6: the middlemen, and finally for the White House. If drug
- 7:19Speaker 6: manufacturers fail to offer most Favored nation pricing, the order
- 7:24Speaker 6: directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to one
- 7:27Speaker 6: propose rules and impose most favored nation pricing, and two
- 7:32Speaker 6: take other aggressive measures to significantly reduce the cost of
- 7:36Speaker 6: prescription drugs the American consumer, and most importantly, in anti
- 7:41Speaker 6: competitive practices. Why because the White House says it's about
- 7:45Speaker 6: getting a better deal for Americans and President Trump once
- 7:49Speaker 6: again taking action to keep pharmaceutical manufacturers from charging Americans
- 7:54Speaker 6: high drug prices while giving steep discounts to other wealthy
- 7:58Speaker 6: nations that is something that doctor Oz talked about the
- 8:01Speaker 6: White House with the President by his side, and here
- 8:04Speaker 6: is what he said.
- 8:05Speaker 9: That means that we are paying in America four times
- 8:09Speaker 9: more than that drug costs in other countries. Again, one
- 8:12Speaker 9: hundred percents the baseline. It's two hundred and eighty nine
- 8:14Speaker 9: percent above that baseline. It goes all the way down
- 8:16Speaker 9: to where we're paying fifty percent more than any other country.
- 8:19Speaker 9: That's the range, as was pointed out by President Trump,
- 8:21Speaker 9: half the time, we're paying three times more than it's
- 8:24Speaker 9: paid in other countries. It doesn't make any sense for
- 8:26Speaker 9: the system that stated President Trump is over and over
- 8:28Speaker 9: again indicated, and Secretary Kennedy has reflected as well.
- 8:31Speaker 5: We want innovation.
- 8:33Speaker 9: We want our technology partners doing the best they can
- 8:36Speaker 9: to make the best solutions for drugs to cure as
- 8:38Speaker 9: many people in America and around the world as possible.
- 8:41Speaker 9: By getting our allies to pay a bit more as
- 8:44Speaker 9: they should be and they should have for many years
- 8:46Speaker 9: been doing, will course correct a problem that's gotten out
- 8:49Speaker 9: of hand. And by doing that in a thoughtful, effective way,
- 8:52Speaker 9: we're going to be able to get the pharmaceutical industry hole.
- 8:54Speaker 5: Those jobs will still be here. Will still be productive.
- 8:56Speaker 9: We'll still be curing cancer and a slew of other
- 8:58Speaker 9: ailments that plague humanity.
- 9:00Speaker 3: America will still be the leader in this space.
- 9:02Speaker 9: But we're paying the appropriate amount, the right sized amount,
- 9:06Speaker 9: for those tasks.
- 9:07Speaker 6: Now you may ask yourself this question, why is the
- 9:10Speaker 6: president doing this?
- 9:11Speaker 5: Well, it's all in the numbers.
- 9:13Speaker 6: The United States has less than five percent of the
- 9:17Speaker 6: world's population, yet funds roughly seventy five percent of global
- 9:22Speaker 6: pharmaceutical profits.
- 9:23Speaker 5: Here's the other thing you may not know.
- 9:25Speaker 6: Drug manufacturers discount their products to gain access to foreign markets,
- 9:31Speaker 6: and then subsidize those discounts through high prices charged in America.
- 9:35Speaker 6: In essence, you are subsidizing drug manufacturer profits and foreign
- 9:40Speaker 6: health systems are getting the big deal, despite drug manufacturers
- 9:45Speaker 6: benefiting from generous research subsidies and enormous healthcare spending by
- 9:50Speaker 6: the US government. Now on his first term, you may
- 9:53Speaker 6: not know this, but President Trump took historic action to
- 9:56Speaker 6: keep Medicare and seniors from paying more for drugs than
- 10:00Speaker 6: economically comparable countries, which the Biden administration rescinded before it
- 10:06Speaker 6: could even take effect. Why because they're owned by big pharma.
- 10:10Speaker 6: Instead of fixing this problem. The Biden administration's greatest achievement
- 10:14Speaker 6: was to negotiate prices that were on average seventy eight
- 10:20Speaker 6: percent higher than an eleven comparable countries as part of
- 10:24Speaker 6: Biden's efforts to quote beat medicare. In translation, the Democratic
- 10:30Speaker 6: Party sold you out, the Americans who are suffering and
- 10:34Speaker 6: desperately need pharmaceutical drugs, and they sold you out to
- 10:37Speaker 6: the highest bidder, the lobbyists and the companies that came
- 10:41Speaker 6: in and said this is what we need. The President
- 10:44Speaker 6: making it clear this is never going to happen again
- 10:47Speaker 6: in the US and as long as he is present,
- 10:50Speaker 6: he is going to fight for innovation, fight for technology,
- 10:54Speaker 6: and make sure that you are paying less than any
- 10:57Speaker 6: other major nation in the world.
- 10:59Speaker 5: Finally, story number three.
- 11:01Speaker 6: Former roommate you don't get to say this every day,
- 11:04Speaker 6: is also the Attorney General from West Virginia. We were
- 11:08Speaker 6: together actually on Capitol Hill. I'm staring at the Supreme
- 11:11Speaker 6: Court right now, and he was in the Supreme Court
- 11:15Speaker 6: today for this important, this major case on judges power.
- 11:20Speaker 6: And I want to go to you, JB on this
- 11:22Speaker 6: so that you can explain how all this started. In essence,
- 11:27Speaker 6: you had judges that were making decisions that were covering
- 11:30Speaker 6: the entire country. And the argument is, maybe that's not
- 11:34Speaker 6: how it's supposed to be on these local levels or
- 11:37Speaker 6: these these smaller court battles, And this is what this
- 11:40Speaker 6: is all about.
- 11:41Speaker 10: Yeah, I think you what you just said there makes
- 11:43Speaker 10: a lot of sense. This is a national issue that
- 11:46Speaker 10: was the soul that was decided or attempted to be
- 11:49Speaker 10: decided by a district court judge. And so what happens,
- 11:53Speaker 10: and this has been happening a lot, especially very recently
- 11:56Speaker 10: within the last thirty years, and it's a bipartisan problem then,
- 11:59Speaker 10: is that district court judges are adjoining presidential decrees right
- 12:05Speaker 10: and saying what the president has done is not just
- 12:08Speaker 10: illegal in my courtroom, but it's illegal in the entire country.
- 12:12Speaker 10: And our process is set up differently than that. Our
- 12:15Speaker 10: district court judges are supposed to hear cases that are
- 12:18Speaker 10: in front of them and make decisions for the plaintiffs
- 12:21Speaker 10: that are in front of them. Here, several interest groups
- 12:24Speaker 10: in several states sued in a I'm going to just
- 12:28Speaker 10: say a friendly jurisdiction, which is how this works, as
- 12:31Speaker 10: you find a judge that is ideologically aligned with you,
- 12:33Speaker 10: and you get them to enjoin an entire action that
- 12:37Speaker 10: happened in this case in New Jersey, and so a
- 12:39Speaker 10: New Jersey judge then decided, for all other of the
- 12:43Speaker 10: six hundred district court judges and all of the circuit judges,
- 12:46Speaker 10: and ostensibly for the Supreme Court whether or not a
- 12:49Speaker 10: presidential order was constitutional. While we did not get into
- 12:54Speaker 10: the underlying facts of this case today, ben what the
- 12:57Speaker 10: Supreme Court was hearing, and what our brief described was
- 12:59Speaker 10: the reasons why this is both unconstitutional and a bad idea. So,
- 13:04Speaker 10: for one, both the history of our courts as you
- 13:07Speaker 10: look back into the courts of Chancery in England, as
- 13:11Speaker 10: well as Article three, which was written to delineate the
- 13:14Speaker 10: powers of our courts, indicate that circuit judges do not
- 13:18Speaker 10: have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions. Further, our brief
- 13:23Speaker 10: gets into the idea that there is a remedy here,
- 13:25Speaker 10: and the remedy is is that if you're looking to
- 13:28Speaker 10: have a district court make a decision for a large
- 13:32Speaker 10: number of people, you have to go through what's called
- 13:34Speaker 10: a Rule twenty three and create a class action, so
- 13:37Speaker 10: then the court knows who the plaintiffs are, that they're
- 13:40Speaker 10: trying to address a problem for and fourth, and maybe
- 13:44Speaker 10: most importantly is that district courts and our federal court systems,
- 13:49Speaker 10: they are life tenured for a reason, and that is
- 13:52Speaker 10: to eliminate the stench of politics from the benches around
- 13:58Speaker 10: the country. And when you do forum shopping and you
- 14:01Speaker 10: start to use these universal injunctions in these sort of
- 14:04Speaker 10: weaponized ways, what you then will find, I believe and
- 14:09Speaker 10: our brief delineates that the confidence that the public has
- 14:12Speaker 10: in the independence of our judiciary will go down very quickly.
- 14:17Speaker 10: And that is the single most important branch for the
- 14:19Speaker 10: public to have confidence in, because it is their orders
- 14:22Speaker 10: and it is their writings that tell every American how
- 14:26Speaker 10: the Constitution is being interpreted as it relates to the
- 14:30Speaker 10: laws that apply to them. So this is a really
- 14:32Speaker 10: big case. We feel really really good about our briefing.
- 14:36Speaker 10: The people in West Virginia joined with a group called
- 14:38Speaker 10: the American Center for Law and Justice in this briefing,
- 14:42Speaker 10: and we're very hopeful that the Court will use our
- 14:45Speaker 10: amicus to guide them into what I believe is a
- 14:48Speaker 10: proper decision, and that is the district courts lack the
- 14:51Speaker 10: ability to adjoin the entire country as it relates to
- 14:55Speaker 10: presidential executive orders.
- 14:56Speaker 6: So let's talk about the amicus brief and break that down.
- 15:00Speaker 6: The goal of an amicus brief and people that are listening.
- 15:03Speaker 6: My guest with me is the Attorney General from West Virginia, JB. McCuskey.
- 15:06Speaker 6: I want a dear friend of mine, former roommate, and were,
- 15:09Speaker 6: as I stare at literally at the Supreme Court right now,
- 15:11Speaker 6: you just left the Supreme Court where you guys filed
- 15:14Speaker 6: this amicus brief with the ACLJ. What is the goal
- 15:19Speaker 6: of an amicus brief for people that maybe don't understand
- 15:21Speaker 6: that terminology, maybe they've ever heard it before, And specifically,
- 15:25Speaker 6: what did you guys put in that amicus brief that
- 15:28Speaker 6: you're hoping that the justices will get from it and
- 15:31Speaker 6: read from it on this case.
- 15:33Speaker 10: Yeah, So an amicus brief is in layman's term, it's
- 15:35Speaker 10: called a friend of the court brief. And so what
- 15:38Speaker 10: its purpose is is to help the justices as they're
- 15:41Speaker 10: making their decision with parties who have an interest in
- 15:44Speaker 10: the outcome. And in West Virginia, the interest in this
- 15:46Speaker 10: outcome comes from this widespread weaponized use of nationwide injunctions
- 15:52Speaker 10: we just saw within the last week a nation a
- 15:55Speaker 10: wide injunction out of the state of Washington that will
- 15:58Speaker 10: stop President Trump's executive orders on the use of coal
- 16:01Speaker 10: and lowering electricity rates for Americans and putting West Virginia
- 16:04Speaker 10: coal miners back to work today in order to meet
- 16:08Speaker 10: our nation's energy needs. And so for us, these nationwide injunctions,
- 16:12Speaker 10: when you're a small rural state, are never going to
- 16:15Speaker 10: be the forum that gets shopped into right. They're never
- 16:17Speaker 10: going to ask real patriotic Americans like they are in
- 16:20Speaker 10: West Virginia to answer these questions. They're going to go
- 16:22Speaker 10: to places where it's a little different. And so we
- 16:24Speaker 10: have a huge interest in ensuring that the process plays
- 16:27Speaker 10: out in nationwide injunctions to make sure that these the
- 16:32Speaker 10: president's executive orders as they relate to the economy and
- 16:35Speaker 10: the people of West Virginia are upheld and if they
- 16:38Speaker 10: are found to be unconstitutional, that they go through the
- 16:40Speaker 10: proper channels. And that is what our brief says. Our
- 16:43Speaker 10: brief says that it isn't that the plaintiffs don't have
- 16:47Speaker 10: any options. Our brief says the options that they chose
- 16:51Speaker 10: are not available to the court that made them. So
- 16:54Speaker 10: they needed to have gone through what's called a rule
- 16:56Speaker 10: twenty three, as I just said, and explain to the
- 16:58Speaker 10: court why they have a class of plaintiffs that have
- 17:02Speaker 10: a similar need for this same kind of relief, and
- 17:05Speaker 10: then the court can order that those people get that relief.
- 17:09Speaker 10: And then if another district court or another circuit court
- 17:12Speaker 10: comes to a contrary conclusion, then the Supreme Court can
- 17:15Speaker 10: use that. The Supreme Court's power generally comes from when
- 17:20Speaker 10: they are deciding between circuits that have a different interpretation
- 17:23Speaker 10: of the law. And in this instance, they circumvented that
- 17:26Speaker 10: entire process by getting one single district court judge to
- 17:30Speaker 10: speak for the entire country. And that is not allowed
- 17:33Speaker 10: under Article three. And it's a really bad idea in
- 17:35Speaker 10: terms of public confidence and the independence of our judicial branch.
- 17:40Speaker 6: Is it fair to say that the mechanism that's being
- 17:43Speaker 6: used by the left to go and find these friendly
- 17:46Speaker 6: judges and friendly courts to do this, is this a
- 17:49Speaker 6: version of lawfare where you say, we don't respect the people,
- 17:53Speaker 6: we don't respect their vote, we don't respect who they
- 17:56Speaker 6: chose as their leader, which this time happens to be
- 17:58Speaker 6: President Donald J. Trump, And so therefore we are going
- 18:03Speaker 6: to use lawfair to stop the will of the people
- 18:06Speaker 6: and what they voted for, and what their leaders that
- 18:09Speaker 6: they voted for, who won in a free and fair
- 18:11Speaker 6: election are trying to do well.
- 18:13Speaker 10: I hesitate to use the word lawfare here, Ben, because
- 18:15Speaker 10: we do the same thing occasionally when there's Democrats in
- 18:19Speaker 10: the White House. And it's not that we have a
- 18:21Speaker 10: problem with challenging federal government edicts. Right, We as Republicans
- 18:26Speaker 10: are are constantly finding ways that the federal government is
- 18:29Speaker 10: overstepping its bounds, and we use the courts in order
- 18:32Speaker 10: to rain them in, like in West Virginia versus EPA.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Right.
- 18:35Speaker 10: So it isn't that this is It isn't lawfare as
- 18:39Speaker 10: you describe it, because we need the option to be
- 18:41Speaker 10: able to do this too. It is the kind of lawfare,
- 18:44Speaker 10: right it is. It is this this novel concept that
- 18:49Speaker 10: you use a single friendly district court to do what
- 18:52Speaker 10: is supposed to be the job of the entire judiciary.
- 18:54Speaker 9: Right.
- 18:55Speaker 10: There's a reason why our system has set up the
- 18:57Speaker 10: way that it is. And I personally believe, as in
- 18:59Speaker 10: the originalists, that the factual scenarios surrounding the reason why
- 19:05Speaker 10: somebody's asking for something shouldn't change the fundamental role and
- 19:10Speaker 10: the rules that surround our court, and that was really
- 19:13Speaker 10: in essence, the main part of this argument is should
- 19:19Speaker 10: we break the rules because this is important and my
- 19:22Speaker 10: personal opinion is is that is not true. We should
- 19:25Speaker 10: maintain the constitutionally granted powers that exist in our district
- 19:31Speaker 10: courts and allow the system as it was created by
- 19:34Speaker 10: our founders to work, because it does.
