Justice Thomas, who has never bowed to their assault, is at the zenith of his influence of any justice, really. And, you know, we see at the end of this term on all the opinions that have just come down, obviously, the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade.

I definitely agree with the overturning of the death sentence because clearly we did not have the right jury at that point because anyone who had any strong feelings against the death penalty regardless of whether or not they could put that aside and follow the law were just kicked off the jury, they weren’t even considered as jurors. So we basically got a jury that was all people who believed in the death penalty. It should have been a mix of the two.

There's no way for a White man in America could understand the feelings that people of color have about these really important issues, i think all of this will be resolved in the courts quite frankly and then if the courts don't overturn Senate Bill 202, and I'm not sure that there's a great chance of them overturning the law.
