Cal Thomas and Eric Reminisce About Kitty Carlisle Hart
"I were together. It was the 96th birthday event for Kitty Carlisle Hart. And I remember I went there, she sang at her 96th birthday. This was at what? It was one of the hotels on Park Avenue here. And I went there with Dick Cavett, and I look over and there's Cal Thomas. I've known you from long before that. But it's hard to believe that the woman who was singing was in a night at the opera, the Marx brothers film from 1935. So I just, I'll never forget that evening, I'll never forget seeing you there. Well, let me take a quick Kitty Carlisle Hart story. Some years ago, I was attending the national conference of editorial writers in St. Paul, Minnesota. And the gentleman who was heading it up the editorial page editor of the St. Paul pioneer press called me and desperation. I had another event that night. I wasn't going to go to this particular event. And he said, look, you got to come back and help me out. I said, why? Well, our speaker who was supposed to debate Kitty Carlisle Hart has been held up due to bad weather at the airport. And I don't have anybody. I said, you're asking me to come in and debate an old lady. Are you crazy? So no, no, please. Come on, you got to help me out. So hold on, hold on. Tell me again, what was this here, roughly? This was in the early 90s, as I recall. In the early 90s, and what in the world was the subject of the debate to be? Because she was once the head of what? The national endowment of the humanities or something like that? Right. There was a big controversy then whether a federal money should be used to underwrite some of these agencies that featured scatological and other things anti Christian things. Yes, I think you may be referring, I believe it's called PBS or NPR. So yes, that was a hot debate. And she was on the wrong side of it. Poor kitty.

James Rosen Shares a Story About Antonin Scalia
"One of the first things I did when I first came to Washington as a correspondent for the Fox News channel where I spent 19 years way back in 1999 was to write a letter to justice Scalia and ask for an interview. And he responded on Supreme Court stationary. At that time, Fox News was not well known. We were often confused by those in the credentialing business for various public events with Fox 5, the local affiliate, and we were not yet as well known or on our way to ratings dominance as at that particular time. And Scalia wrote back to me on Supreme Court stationary. And he said, I am a fan of the Fox News channel. That was bracing to hear in late 1999. And he said, I have no doubt as I had promised that you would conduct a dignified interview. He said, unfortunately, I have a policy as a judge, not to make a spectacle of myself by doing television interviews. And I wrote back politely to say, then what but a spectacle could it be when a sitting Supreme Court Justice sits before a bank of PBS cameras, which is where I first got to know him when I was a high school student watching him on television in the old Fred friendly debate program, the constitution that delicate balance. What other than a spectacle could it be when a Supreme Court Justice sits before a bank of PBS cameras and debates hypothetical scenarios with other eminent minds like Dan Rather and Gerald Ford and Sandra Day O'Connor. And he wrote back to me again on stationary to say, in essence, a rare concession to win from Antonin Scalia from justice Scalia, you're right, he said, I probably shouldn't have done the constitution that delicate balance. And which I did in exceeding to the import tunings of an old friend in Fred friendly, who had been previously the president of CBS News. We agreed to meet for off the record lunches. We had two of them. And the contents of the lunches will remain off the record. But, you know, we had this extraordinary correspondence back and forth. It got even a more amusing after that.

Jimmy Carter Enters Hospice Care
"David Z Wagner is a friend of mine in Cleveland. And since it's president's day, I want to read you an email. He said to me yesterday. I hear I've met president Carter and spoken with him and continue to be an active contributor to his charity. What needs to search far and wide to find a more compassionate hardworking knowledgeable and kind person, the hands on billing rookie champion, the work with Guinea worm disease, and the active charitable leadership he provided to many causes is very impressive. His recovery from brain cancer years ago is amazing. Most importantly, his personal negotiations in relentless pursuit of a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel stands alone is one of the greatest achievements in diplomacy over the past 50 years. Yes, he was a poor president, surrounded by the inept and the press used Billy as their pinata daily. One of the most rebound, one of the many rebound presidents. We have elected who struggled mightily in office, and then did well in post presidency years. All Americans should pause and pay their respects to the man Jimmy Carter and his achievements. I trust you can help inform your audience in these contentious times as to the man in the humanitarian he is and the good he did for many, many people worldwide, David Wagner. David is a 100% correct. And the honor of interviewing former president Carter on a book tour when he made to LA in 1994 when I was hosting the nightly news and public affairs show there for PBS life and times were trans for a decade and he was gentle he was wonderful. He was terrific in the post presidency years. He did what HW and W have done, which has raised money for a lot of people do a lot of good things for a lot of people spend time with your family. And now you've made some missteps in this book, but not perfect. You've gone partisan, like human rights policy during 77 to 81 when he was president just occasional faceplant, but the man is a legend for helping the homeless, building houses, habitat free humanity. He's a good man. And I salute him and pray for him and for his family as he enters hospice care this president's day.

Joe Biden: Americans Won't Pay Attention to Family Investigation
"Biden is hoping you're not paying attention. He said it. He was a guest with Judy Woodruff. I was waiting for them to go off and get a room somewhere. I mean, you want to talk about a softball interview. It was incredible. And here's Judy Woodruff. Wednesday, on PBS NewsHour, interviewing grandpa Joe. One of the things Republicans say is a priority for them is investigating your family, your son, hunter, your brother, Jim. They talk about access that they say others have gotten because of you because of your political success. How do you, how do you plan to deal with that? The public's not going to pay attention to that. They want these guys to do something. It's the only way they can do is make up things about my family. It's not going to go very far. See, public's not going to pay attention to the Hunter Biden scandal and my association with him and my friend, my love of my son and his business, public won't pay attention to that. They're not paying attention. Don't worry, not to worry. Maybe they won't notice. That's the best I can come up with. When Democrats wear pro I love abortion pins, maybe people won't notice. I think that's what they're thinking.

The War on Fossil Fuels
"By the way, I was just looking at a New York Times piece from November saying the Republicans lie when they say that Joe Biden is responsible for the higher energy prices. It's not true. It's Putin's invasion of Russia and because I don't know what else they wrote. It was gobbledygook. Oh, it has nothing to do with the XL pipeline, as nothing to do with the war on fossil fuels. How could they say that? On the one hand, they keep telling you that we have to make war on fossil fuels and then they say our war on fossil fuels has had no impact on whether or not you have energy. How could they say both things and the answer is who's going to catch them The New York Times, The Washington Post? CNN NBC ABC CBS PBS NPR. Who is going to call them on the lie? They make war on fossil fuels, and then they tell you, it's not our war on fossil fuels that have any impact on the prices.

Unpacking Monolithic Voting Records With Victor Davis Hanson
"Question of the modern living monolithic voting record for the speaker's race, with nary a dissension, is that monolithic nature of the Democrats today is that really ideological installing step with each other, or is it a function of fear or a combination of both? A combination of both, they don't have any, they don't tolerate any dissent. And remember, there are fused with the media. So the architects of this fusion insist on absolute political loyalty and they have ways of punishing it. If you wanted to scent from Nancy Pelosi in the past, then you were going to be hit with a Twitter barrage of Facebook barrage. You were going to get your money cut off. You might be primary. So you weren't going to do it. And the same thing from that speech there will be talking points, and you will hear them on network news, PBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN. So they've got a very tightly, they've got a prob that megaphone and then they've got this ideological straitjacket. But as far as his speech, they were just a bunch of incoherent binaries. And it was kind of like Jesse Jackson back in the 90s. Kind of a hip thing, but this was a guy who always talks about an election integrity but on over 70 occasions claim that the 2016 election, which we know now, both through the Mueller investigation and some of the inspector general's reports was not rigged by the Russians, and it was a fair election, and yet he has denied the results and said that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president. Not once, but again and again and again.

And really is a reflection of the reality that the average American faces once they retire, which is we all are hoping for the dreams. We talk about what is the typical business planning looked like.

And a coward named Katie Hobbs is behind it, along with PBS. It's outrageous. Now, she says something really profound there about how traditions are being upended. Candidates have always debated each other, but you can't, you can't have a debate if you're not if you're not willing to stand up and defend your disastrous record. You can't have a debate when you have to defend the policies you embrace that Americans reject, open borders, defund the police. Springing criminals from jail.

Katie Hobbs Will Not Debate Kari Lake in a 'Spectacle'
"Arizona Democrat Katie Hobbs is going to sit down with PBS for 30 minutes, but won't debate Carrie Lake. Here's cut number one, listen to Andrea Mitchell over at MSNBC asking Katie Hobbs why you're not willing to debate your opponent. You have refused to take part in the loan debate with Carrie lay, giving her 30 minutes to present her ideas without any pushback. You said you don't want to participate in a spectacle. But how is it productive to give her a platform where she will not be challenged? Well, I think you said it yourself in the intro that all three top Republicans are election deniers. How do you debate someone who refuses to accept the truth who doesn't live in facts? And it doesn't do any service to the voters in terms of deciding looking at the contrast between us and how we're going to govern if all she's going to do is shout over me interrupt me and spew lies. And in fact, PBS is also giving me the same format that Carrie Lake has, so she certainly will not go unanswered. We've looked for opportunities for formats where I can talk directly to voters. They can hear directly from me without the spectacle that Carrie Lake is going to create. And we're going to have the same opportunity here that she is as well.

Carrie Lake literally called out Katie Hobbs also PBS, but you gotta hear this Katie Hobbs simply refuses to debate Carrie Lake. The people in the liberal press need to demand that your candidate, the one you guys are backing in the liberal press, show up and debate. The people of Arizona deserve this. I promise her, Katie, I promise you, you can write the questions for me. I promise you I won't yell, Katie. I promise you I won't interrupt you. And if you want to have an emotional support animal there as well, I will agree to that. But show up like a grown-up and debate. We have serious issues facing this great state of ours. We've got the narco terrorist controlling our border right now. How in the heck are you going to go up against them if you're afraid to debate me here at PBS? How in the heck are you going to go up against Gavin Newsom? When he's stealing our water and fight back there, and when they're taking our energy, how in the heck are you going to fight for companies to come to Arizona when you have to go up against people like great governors like governor Abbott and governor Kristi Noem and governor Ron DeSantis, Arizona will lose if Katie Hobbs is elected. No doubt about it. And look, I think that's very generous. Carrie Lake says she's willing to debate no matter no matter the format, she's willing to concede anything Katie Hobbs is willing to do. Including the support animal, which I think is a very generous thing. I don't know if that's a gerbil or a snake. I don't know what it is, but whatever the support animal is, Carrie Lakers has volunteered has offered graciously to cover the cost of that.

She wants to mandate an end to the use of fossil fuels by 2050. She wants to ban fracking. She wants tuition free community college and free public universities for most families. She wants to ban assault weapons. She wants Medicare for All a universal government sponsored healthcare system. These are just her policies, and this is as defined by PBS. We happen to get this list from PBS dot org. So this is not like some hit piece on a Democrat. She wants to protect abortion rights. She voted against a ban on abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. So the list goes on, she's not a Republican. She certainly isn't a conservative. And I appreciate her message about how corrupt and wretched and I would say evil, many members of today's Democrat party are. But please don't get too excited about Tulsi Gabbard becoming a Republican because I think that's a bad idea.

It's fundamentally sound money is crazy and awesome and there's been so much money injected into the economy that people just need things to buy what you're describing is mania. Yeah yeah you could call it mania. Certainly we are in a mainly because again. The fed has put a floor underneath asset prices. There's only one direction that things can go and that's up otherwise the fed will step in and act so things can only go up. Why wouldn't you just buy when i look at what's been going on the last six months. I see financial. Mania heater fisher. I don't know what the right value of some companies when they changed by fifty percent. Six months i think we should all recognize is boy.

I assume you're somebody who has assets who's invested and that this has been a good period for someone like you in part because you own assets the fad having pumped asset prices to starkly high levels. Doesn't make me feel comfortable. I feel as anxious today as i've ever felt about the financial world because of my belief that the fed has been pumping up asset prices in a way that is creating a bit of illusion. I think the odds are now sort of one in three very high. We will look at this as an epic mistake and one of the great financial calamity. Of all time. Jeremy grantham they have the housing market the stock market and the bond market all over priced at the same time and they will not be able to prevent sooner or later the asset prices. Coming back out so we are playing with fire because we have the three great asset classes moving into bubble territory. Simaltaneously there is a growing conversation right now about the fed's role about whether it's driving wealth inequality whether it's driving asset prices into dangerous territory. That could pop right in our faces and whether the whether the financial system can withstand that. I mean there are these seemingly legitimate questions about being in. What seems to be uncharted territory. Neel kashkari these questions come from people who are keen wall street observers or wall street i never have once heard this line of questioning for a member of congress that represents a low income minority district never once they come to us and they say. Why can't you do more. They never say. Oh my gosh you're just benefiting wall street you raise interest rates because i want to keep wall street in check. They say helped my constituents find work so that's why i mean. I find these questions amusing. Because i hear all the time from wall street and these are folks who don't care about what's actually happening on main street. I don't hear from main street. i certainly don't hear from low income communities. And i've heard all of these questions before. The price of everything seems to be going on from these cars. Two plane tickets to furniture. If you're gonna get in your car and drive to work. Your gas costs more. There are now signs of inflation percolating through the economy. Annual inflation is expected to top three and a half percent in the fourth quarter. So now there's speculation. The fed may speed up. Its interest rate plans.

"In iraq. At the very beginning it would like victory satisfaction guests almost over counter. Terrorism adviser bruce. The united states welcomed as liberators that firstly it would be a cakewalk to go into iraq and secondly within a matter of weeks the country would be stabilized but like afghanistan iraq quickly became required monitor iraqi political analyst garage allocated is the statue fell on april ninth by april tenth. We woke up in the morning and the university was looted saddam's palaces open only journalists and authority turner's baghdad very quickly moves from state of joy and euphoria plus two one of almost utter bedlam luder set upon government buildings on businesses fires break out and there are thousands of us troops in the city at that point but they don't have orders to stop it either othman rashid. The goodwill in iraq lasted only a few days with the us attacked iraq. Without any plan b. was not even to keep law and order in bug that leave alone beyond the city's donald rumsfeld. I picked up a newspaper today. And i couldn't believe it. I read eight headlines that talked about chaos violence unrest and it just was henny penny. The sky is falling. I've never seen anything like it. It's just unbelievable. How people can can take that away from what is happening in that country secretary of defense donald rumsfeld had overseen the planning for the war trial. He was doing damage control. It is a fundamental misunderstanding to to see those images over and over and over again if some boy walking out with vase and say oh my goodness you didn't have a plan. That's nonsense author. Thomas ricks so there's one little ride the screed or something and people say henny penny. The sky is falling. I'm on the ground and the summer of oh three in iraq and it's very clear to me that what i'm seeing is very different from what people at the pentagon or see in an untidy and freedom's untidy free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things. They're also free to to to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that's what's going to happen here. Rome's froze disconnect grew as the country continued to unravel nine eleven commission. Executive director of philips l. rumsfeld actually thought and said that we could just go in and then get out. We weren't gonna do nation building in iraq and if iraq imploded. That was somebody else's problem in baghdad. Today the looting and shooting continued they still come in waves. Carting away metal frames the problem. President bush handed it to a little known diplomat. L paul bremmer the third jerry bremer agreed to become the presidential envoy to iraq then nightrider news reporter. Leyla bottle paul. Bremmer wasn't a middle east expert. He wasn't seen as an arabist. He wasn't a person who was an expert in post conflict rebuilding and then he becomes a sort of de facto ruler of iraq. Paul bremmer arrived in baghdad with grand bishops. us military advisor. Emma sky was found not to weapons mass destruction. The mission then morph to installing democracy. So ambassador bremer's spoke about. We're going to rebuild iraq like we did germany and japan after world war two and to do that we couldn't build from the old foundations. We had to create new foundations bremmer. First step to making this new iraqi. Democracy purge the entire iraqi government took tens of thousands of members of saddam's ba'ath party and those who were on high before in particular the ba'athists who used their power to repress the iraqi people will be removed from office. Us army general. David portrays they through tens of thousands of people out of their jobs out of their homes out of their future and even robbed them of their position in society. Shortly i will issue an order on measures to extirpate ba'athist and baptism from iraq forever. So there was no reason for these individuals To support the new rock in fact it was in their interest to oppose it metre. She'd what was the pentagon expecting that. American officers will take over the ministries and become minister of culture minister of health It was it was really abysmal situation. Brummer second-order disbanding the army and fire and hundreds of thousands of soldiers secretary of state colin powell. I was stunning because this is not the plan the was done and the commanders in the field out there were stunned because this was the solution to the security problem. We were going to reconstitute the iraqi army so that they could secure their country and instead we dismiss them and we turned loose. All of these ukraine military people who might have weapons with them and nuclear weapons were.

"To one of the most powerful executives in the media industry. It's been a tough year for paula. And it's not just because of the pandemic in march. She received an open letter from filmmakers they said. Pbs was not diverse enough. I asked her how she felt when she read it. It's a it's a great question actually. No one's ever asked me that. When i read the letter at first i thought well for an organization like pbs. To get a letter like this for me to get a letter like this is is jarring But if you can set aside. And i think this is is one thing that is tremendously important for leadership. You know. you have to listen really well. You have to pay attention to what people say and oftentimes some of the most important information is communicated as what people aren't saying people had these thoughts that had not really come forward that had not been shared. And you know this is something that as an organization. We have to pay attention to. But i think for me personally really being able to focus on Even listening even harder for those important messages that are both conveyed as well as those that are left unspoken. Pbs has since announced a new initiatives to make it a more inclusive network bala insist bs. Serves everyone something rancho in nebraska reminded her about and he walked over to me and he gave me a fixed glaze and he said i just wanna tell you i came to this. I came to this event because this is important to me. There's something that i want you to know. And he said. I am raising children on the farm where i was raised and i always worry that my children are not going to have the same advantages as other kids because we live in a rural area but we interview and you are connection to a world of information and ideas that i know are going to be important to our children and i wanted to come today to tell you. Don't mess this up. That bala says is what drives her. We talk about her motivation. Her childhood her grandfather's influence on her the future of work her passion for the outdoors and her latest hobby beekeeping. There's all that and much more with the president and ceo of pbs. On this episode of out of office. I welcome to out of office. Don't take him the lakers pleasure being with you. But you are the longest serving. Ceo and president of pbs. Fifteen years now. Is that right fifteen years. Yes while that's a long time but you've obviously seen the company grow and evolve over the last fifteen years. What do you think has been the most significant way. Pbs has changed. Probably similar to every other media. Organization is lee participate in just a rapidly changing environment. most businesses have gone through Pretty profound change in the last decade less decade and a half but media in particular. When i started at pbs. We were principally broadcast organization. I remember my first speech. I talked about the fact. That apple was beginning to sell episodes of desperate housewives for dollar ninety nine as part of itunes. And i thought how strange you know. Net flicks was still sending you discs in the mail in those red envelopes. And obviously everything has changed in fact part of the reason that i have stated pbs. For so long. Besides the fact that i am deeply committed to the mission is because the work has become more and more interesting the core what we do in producing and distributing content that we hope is entertaining but when we hit our markets also educational inspirational that stays and that really is what has motivated me to stay. Engaged with pbs. But the way that we connect to people in particularly in this last year during the pandemic when it feels like everything was tested in people's Meat consumption shifted somewhat It has just opened up. Lots of new possibilities. It's it's not for the faint of hearts running an organization like this but it i think ultimately it is thin extraordinary and trying to figure out how to move and organization that had identified itself in various specific way to being much more expensive than the way that it distributes. Its its information and content. Sure another twenty twenty was very important. Here for pbs. Not just because of the woods zoning upside down because twenty twenty is when you marked. Fifty years of pbs. And of course. I'm sure you never imagined it would do not to be the year that it was an instead of having a chance to look back at the greatest moments in the history of ugly television you find yourself dealing with pandemic how twenty twenty change pbs. Yeah it's it's so interesting because of course we had this idea how we would celebrate our fiftieth anniversary in. It's exactly as you described looking at julia child. Who was actually the very first. That was the very first program that we broadcast as a as a network to We really reflecting on how our organization evolved over the fifty years but wipe the fiftieth anniversary. Actually represented was an opportunity for us to dig deep to take everything that we had Learned as or as a as the system over the past fifty years and figure out how to apply it in this very strange time and that meant everything from looking at the content that we produce in delivered everything from the news against programs and so forth. We had a number of years ago created an educational service called learning media which is a broadband service that delivers content into classrooms and suddenly lots of children were home and parents and teachers were scrambling to figure out how to really ramp up distance learning and we were there and we actually did a combination of really ramping up our broadband service as well as going back to good old fashioned broadcast television because there are a lot of children in homes without access to broadband reliable access to broadband and so many of our stations is part of their broadcast error to broadcast courses for kids. That were home so it was. It was an extraordinary time and then in the in the middle Was the murder of george boy which i think caused everyone to pause and think very carefully about our organizations and assumptions that we make organization. Pbs's been very proud of being a immediate organization that has tried to bring forward all life experiences. We have blind spots. We all have areas where we can do better and so two both pivot and try to put forward content both new content as well as great content from our library to help. Everyone understand this circumstance that we're in. How did we get to this place. Obviously understanding history is Is a way to figure out how to forge a path forward but also for our organization internally and and speaking as the leader really looking within the organization and trying to understand. Are there aspects of the work that we're doing in assumptions that we've made because we're pbs. That in fact should be challenged and other ways that we can improve both the work that we deliver as well as the relationships that we have with our employees with the dome.

"Contributions to your PBS stations from viewers like you. Thank you. Yeah. Mhm. On this the final day of its term, the U. S. Supreme Court issued major decisions on some of the most consequential topics, especially as the debate over voting rights continues in Congress and in the states. The decisions also put the court's new 6 to 3 Conservative majority in the spotlight, John Yang reports. Judy. In one of the most closely watched cases of the court's term, The justices split along ideological lines to narrow the scope of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965. Just two states are putting new voting restrictions in place. The court upheld to Arizona laws that the Democratic Party says discriminate against minority voters. Marcia Coyle is chief Washington correspondent for the National Law Journal. Tammy Patrick of the nonpartisan Democracy Fund was in Arizona elections official for more than a decade. So Tammy Patrick, What are these Arizona laws that were being challenged and what's the argument that they are discriminatory? So the first law had to do with provisional ballots being voted out of precinct and that commonly occurs when a voter moves and then returns to their previous voting location where they don't live any longer, And that requires a provisional ballot. Some states they allow you to cast a provisional ballot, and they'll count the portion of it that you're eligible for other states will throw out the ballot entirely and not count any of it. Now. Part of the challenge with that is that in Arizona, there were almost 1500 of those last year and across the country. There are literally tens of thousands of voters who don't have their votes counted for president or statewide offices because they went to the wrong polling place, So this disproportionately affects voters who move frequently and or those who are in the locations where they don't have good addressing, such as tribal reservations and rural voters. That same type of voter at same cohort of voters is also impacted. By the second law that has to do with ballot collection often referred to as ballot harvesting. This limits the options on how voters can successfully returned their ballots. And we know that the Postal Service recommends you put your ballot back in the mail a week before Election Day, So if it's three or four days before the election, you need to get that ballot back in. And if you live in a remote or rural location, you may not have a dropbox available. You can no longer mail it back in many states. So those voters are impacted very negatively because they don't have the ability to turn it over to a trusted source in order to turn their ballots in for them and have it counted successfully. So, Marshall. What did the court say today about the challenge to these two laws? John. First of all, we should say what section to actually is in the Voting Rights Act, and that's the section that prohibits any voting procedure that results in or has the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race and you violate that section based on the totality of circumstances. That show racial minorities have less opportunity than other voters to participate in the political process. So what the court the majority did led by Justice Alito was to take that language, the totality of circumstances in Section two, and he created a list of factors. Five of them the court should consider when they're faced with Section two violations. Just to give you you know one or two of those factors, for instance, consider the how significant the disparity and voting is there has to be a significant disparity in order to make out of section two violation. Also, he said, you courts have to consider the state's interests here in enacting that voting procedure, And he said that a state's interest is particularly strong, very strong and significant. If they're trying to To prevent voter fraud and also consider the size of the burden on the racial minority voter here, Um all voting schemes, he said. Put a burden on some on almost all voters. But consider you know how big a burden is This right here. This was the problem that the dissenters led by Justice Kagan had with the majority's opinion. They said There was nothing in the text the section two that lend itself to these factors. These five Factors that the majority was creating. And all of these factors, according to Justice Kagan worked against the challenger created new burdens for those who want to challenge discriminatory voting practices. With those guidelines, Marcia that the majority laid out the opinion written by Justice Alito. What does this say? Or what can we infer about about future challenges to voting restrictions? Well, I think, um it's generally believed that they will make it much harder to bring section two violations and that's important because in 2013, the Supreme Court in a 54 decision by the chief justice struck down Section four of the Voting Rights Act, and that Section was a formula for determining which voting practices by states that had a past histories of voting discrimination had to have their procedures pre cleared by a federal court or the the Department of Justice. So what was left with Section two, basically, and, uh, now, with this majority opinion, uh, there is a feeling that it's going or a belief that it's just going to put more hurdles in place of those who want to challenge would appear to be racially discriminating Voting practices Tammy Patrick, Given the new restrictions that are the state legislatures around the country are putting in place are debating What's the significance of today's ruling to you? The significance of what happened today is that it can give validation for some of the states that have restrictive laws on the books. Those who are looking to implement restrictive laws and also potential encouragement for other states to roll back more expansive policies..
