    41:58 min ... Justice Stephen Breyer said, "try to put it in it's better light, not it's worst light, never interpret a statute, not that I can think of, I hate to say never, because there are always exceptions, but don't interpret a statute to do something ridiculous and then say it's unconstitutional, interpret it so that it will be constitutional, and the other thing ... listen to what ... people say and maybe even repeat it back ... put succinctly ... ".
    It seems like a good parenting philosophy too, and a good life philosophy, to stay calm and prevent, 'woe is me' scenarios, for the most part (it seems like it is in part about having that mix, balance and check, between not having an autonomous centralised power yet also not having a localised autonomous centralised power that is compartmentalised.).

    Justice Breyer is a true intellectual with deeply insightful views on critical issues. If SCOTUS is the only government branch that people still have respect for, it is due to Justices like him.

      Only reason scotus is still respected is bc it's still the smallest branch.

      More like it’s the only branch that has intelligent people serving in it. They don’t yell out blubber and make fake promises to the people, they do their job accordingly.

    Uncomfortable question time!
    How many U.S. Supreme Court Justices are Jewish?

    • @QuizmasterLaw
      @QuizmasterLaw 7 лет назад +1

      so if under 5% of U.S. citizens are Jewish, and at least 1/3 of current US Supreme Court Justices are Jewish, what does that say about the Court's legitimacy?
      I mean, it's easy for Me to say "legitimate? these are the heirs of treasonous genocidal slavers" but why go that far?
      It's like you look at Trump, scream terrible things, and ignore the causes: Why a candidate can seriously get elected on a platform of "globalists sold out the country". If it weren't for his mobbed up Russian associates (ah, money laundering, tax evasion, RICO never sounded so good) it might be ironic.
      But hey, that's oligarchy!
