2. Missing from the video is any actual way they can be stopped

He seems to be hinting at jurisdiction stripping… but he then describes the power as resting in the Democratic-controlled US senate. But that appears to just be so that he can point fingers at Durbin.

The realities here are pretty simple:

It’s a bit late in history to challenge Marbury vs Madison. That ship has sailed. Spit in the wind if it makes you feel good Thom… but don’t be surprised at the results

The power does not rest with the Senate. It rests with the Congress as a whole … and we don’t control Congress.

Even in the chamber that we do control - we don’t have the votes for such a move. Durban isn’t blocking anything

They CAN be stopped. But it’s going to have to be the way that the other side won on Roe - decades of focus on the courts and winning the right elections.
