Episode notes
Filibuster Precarity
- Biden suggests changing the Senate filibuster rules, just for abortion and privacy rights.
- This is precarious, as it risks further erosion of minority rights in the Senate, similar to past changes.
AOC's Performative Politics
- AOC's proposals like abortion clinics on federal land and impeaching conservative justices are performative.
- These actions are unrealistic and serve to appease disaffected liberals without actual policy impact.
Conflicting Views on Clarence Thomas
- Hillary Clinton criticized Justice Thomas as a person of grievance.
- This contradicts Sotomayor's experience of him as compassionate, despite their disagreements.
