9:36Now PlayingIn this explosive Senate hearing, Rep. Adam Schiff challenges a Trump-appointed judicial nominee on his refusal to say whether landmark Supreme Court rulings—like Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage), Lawrence v. Texas (LGBTQ+ rights), and Loving v. Virginia (interracial marriage)—were rightly decided.
The exchange takes a dramatic turn as Schiff pushes the nominee to address his originalist views and support for the controversial "independent state legislature theory," a legal doctrine that could allow state legislatures to override the will of the people in elections—raising serious alarms about the future of American democracy.
This hearing isn't just about one judge. It's about whether core civil rights—and the integrity of elections—can be quietly unraveled from the bench.
📌 Key moments include:
– Schiff pressing on the Emoluments Clause
– A tense back-and-forth on LGBTQ+ rights and legal precedent
– A shocking evasion on Moore v. Harper and election subversion
– The nominee invoking his own interracial marriage—but dodging same-sex marriage questions
👀 Watch until the end to see Schiff’s powerful warning about democracy, rights, and what’s truly at stake.
