could apply dangerously in the modern world if you had an overzealous.
Nia RogersHOST
What do the Supremes say about ex post facto?
John AughenbaughHOST
Well, this is interesting.
John AughenbaughHOST
The Supreme Court has said the prohibition on ex post facto laws applies in the criminal law sector, but not in civil court.
Nia RogersHOST
We have it – I mean we don't have it in civil law.
Nia RogersHOST
We only have it in criminal law.
Nia RogersHOST
And we're laying the groundwork for the Supremes being able to say what's constitutional and what's not constitutional.
Nia RogersHOST
So how does it come to be applied?
Thomas SmithHOST
Anything Supreme, really.
Thomas SmithHOST
The Supremes.
Thomas SmithHOST
They've always been better than the course.
Thomas SmithHOST
Oh, sure.
Sami SageHOST
Just when we thought the Supreme Court had put Donald Trump's insane and invisible plans for the midterm elections to bed, they've somehow zombied them back to life a little bit.
Sami SageHOST
The Supremes ruled 6-3 on Friday that the Trump administration can move forward with its plan to use a centralized database for DHS to verify voter citizenship through Social Security Administration data.
Sami SageHOST

Sami SageHOST

John AughenbaughHOST
Yes.
Nia RogersHOST
Gravel was reaching – gravel was grasping at a straw there.
Nia RogersHOST
I don't either.
Nia RogersHOST
I don't either.
Nia RogersHOST
Okay, let's take it to the Supremes.
John AughenbaughHOST
The Supreme Court, in a closely divided ruling in 1972, the vote was five to four, held that the privilege of the speech or debate clause did extend to congressional aides.
Kenny WebsterHOST
It depends who you ask.
Kenny WebsterHOST
Check with the Supremes.
Kenny WebsterHOST
You ask the North, they'd say yes.
Kenny WebsterHOST
You ask the South, they'd say no.
Nia RogersHOST
The medical world was like, what are you talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nia RogersHOST
I don't like it when the Supremes make stuff up.
Nia RogersHOST
I don't like it when they make it up on either side.
Nia RogersHOST
Like I'm not – No, yeah.

units are built that way.
Nia RogersHOST
They're built that way by purpose.
Nia RogersHOST
And one could argue the Supremes are built that way by purpose because the Supremes on a regular basis do things that the rest of us can't stand.
Nia RogersHOST
We're like, what? That's the worst decision ever.
