Congressional Black Caucus Chair Joyce Beatty defends President Biden's trip to Atlanta to address voting rights, denying it was merely a photo op. The hosts argue that the voting rights narrative is based on fear and "lizard brain" activation regarding historical trauma. They point out the contradiction between claims of voter suppression and record-high turnout.
The hosts discuss the possibility of the Democratic party reviving the "court packing" threat if the Supreme Court rules against vaccine mandates. They suggest that such a ruling could serve as a "battle cry" for the 2022 and 2024 elections. The conversation touches on the necessity of ending the filibuster to confirm additional judges and the political risks involved in such a move.
