Supreme Court and Civil Rights

Andre and I went today to a hearing by the House Judiciary Committee on the Supreme Court and Civil Rights. I have attached the Chairmans opening address. What struck me about the hearing really just a reminder of how complicated our system of checks and balances. A lot of what the chairman said, and the hearing discussed, was how Congress could influence the direction of the Court and vic versa how the Court could influence Congress. It was my impression that the Roberts court has been one of the most defiant toward Congress in recent memory. Having watched the Court just yesterday, I thought it was an interesting insight.
