I adore Sotomayor, but you have to take emotion out of it. Mehdi's got a point. If Biden loses, Republicans will get Thomas and Alito to step down and will replace them with very young justices, so that's TWO MORE seats 45 will have replaced on the SCOTUS. And he will pick someone young, so they'll impact policy for the next 20-30 years. If anything happens to Sotomayor - who travels with a doctor - that would be a 3rd justice 45 would added to the court in his term. You can't dismiss Mehdi's opinion here.
100% agree. They are clouding judgement and logic with emotion and attachment to a person rather than attachment to a CAUSE. How many more rights would be lost under a 7-2 conservative Supreme Court?
Fix is in
Prayers & vote,
Y'all next.--pklahoma gay man .❤
Why is there more context and viewpoints in the comments than the panel? If it wasn’t intentional on their part it would be embarrassing f.
trump would put LOOSE CANNON ON THE BENCH🤮😱🤡
I agree. Whoopi is annoying sometimes
Yes, Ruth didn’t and now look at the mess we’re in.
It’s not on anybody to retire whenever you demand.
@@bonanimathambo8721 of course not, that would take integrity and unselfishness... which in spite of so many great accomplishments, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, now has that stain on her legacy as an individual that was not willing to relinquish her ego for the sake of the country and women... the irony is palpable now that roe. was overturned... and due to a feminist... we can blame the Republicans just as much as we can blame RBG for holding on longer than she should have.
@@bonanimathambo8721true! But that’s why there should be term limits in general not to do with age.
@@Jayyyke I actually don’t disagree with that. That’s reasonable. But the arguments being made in this thread, asking a perfectly healthy and reasonable person to sacrifice their career by comparing her to a completely different case/justice, is preposterous.
No, we’re in this mess because of all the people who chose not to vote in 2016 for all the people who didn’t vote in 2018 in the midterms were in this mess because of ourselves because we thought that these institutions were just stay like this, for no reason if we didn’t actually put the effort to maintain them if the majority of Americans voted, Hillary Clinton would became the president and the Supreme Court would not be what it is. Today is not anyone’s fault, but the Americans people RBG did more for this country and for women, in particular than anyone in this common section, and she went down fighting, and she should be respected for that. Perhaps we should’ve gave her a different president
Yes. We don’t need another Ruth Ginsberg situation
7 to 2, game over, bring your shoes back to the counter.
Not the same thing. Sotomayor is perfectly healthy.
She was in her late 80s and was dying of cancer Sonia is just 70 and doing fine. Even if Trump wins she’ll be 75 when he leaves office please everyone really needs to show up.
@@bonanimathambo8721 Diabetes is not just fine. Everyone in the democratic party is just fine... until they die. And it's consider blasphemy to even talk about it, to just discuss it. I look forward to Republicans stealing another seat.
@@Letsreallybefrank be quiet. She’s about 70. Tons of people die around that time.
Justice Sotomayor has Type 1 diabetes. She can't take Ozempic to get rid of it, or any other medication. It requires insulin. It's so important to make that distinction between Type 1 and Type 1 diabetes, especially when Type 1 diabetics are most impacted by the insulin prices that have been so historically and diabolically high. I hope the panel can better inform themselves next time.
Yes, I made a similar comment. Juvenile diabetes is a terrible disease -- my best friend died in her late 40s.
Thank you. That was dumb of them.
You make valid points except no one on the panel and Justice Sotomayor have a concern for the cost of insulin. They are all wealthy. Also Sotomayor gets great healthcare on top of Medicare. She is the only Justice that travels with a medic at all times.
I agree!! Seriously, us dems need to stay united-no more old people, and especially no more old people with diabetes!!! And as a proud dem I’d like to say (for all of us true blues): thank god the black male justice is a republican-because we don’t want that in our party 🌊🌊🌊
#claytonBigsby4president
@@eL-Hippo If you are saying you don’t want black people in the Democratic Party then prepare for a lot of Republican victories.
We need TERM LIMITS for Supreme Court judges!
18 yrs should be plenty of time to sit on the SC.
So does that include congress then lol
Why ?
💯
This whole segment proved his point lol
You so missed the whole.point Whoopi. He is afraid she would retire during the next presidency and it could be trump, then trump gets another.judge. He isn't saying anything crazy.
She's smart enough not to do that.
It has been a known thing amongst some viewers of the show that Whoopi doesn't do her research before these topics to understand context like today and she chooses to instead talk impulsively, and unfortunately at times it shows.
Whoopi is right. The justice is just 69. Even if trump is president, she will be 74 which is still young. Unless she is so sick that she is dying (which could also happen to a 30 year old), her resigning is ridiculous. Alos, Whoopie also made the point that having a different liberal take the seat does not mean that liberal decisions will be taken. we have seen conservative justices sometimes switch the view once they get on the seat - which by the way is one of the reason why it is a lifelong appointment.
It’s surprising none of those at the table pointed out the context of Mehdi Hassan’s submission
@@joep3770 - I do agree with you on Sonia Sotomayor not being too 'old' to retire, which is why I thought what Sunny said made perfect sense. The reason why Whoopi's stance was frustrating to watch was because when she immediately jumped to, 'What about Clarence Thomas?' it showed that she didn't understand the context. I am familiar with Mehdi Hassan and believe me, he thinks Clarence Thomas shouldn't be a part of the Supreme Court either. For us as viewers, it wasn't until Alyssa or Sunny shared their opinions, that viewers were explained the actual context from the CNN interview from one of the ladies at the table. Viewers like us should be provided the context of what the ladies are debating and Whoopi wasn't providing that at all.
Did Whoopi forget SCOTUS seats are lifetime appointments?
She is a village idiot when it comes to politics.
Many retire.
But it shouldn't be. Many of us want time limits on justices
@@debracurry612 that be nice but that requires congress and the president and good luck with that. Technically we do need more Supreme Court judges due to 3 more court circuts but we fear the maga people will just put in more judges to get what they want.
@@MaryLopez-em3rcYet they don't have to.
I think the show missed the whole point again. We're not talking about who should resign out of those 9 supreme court justices. Mehdi was talking from democrat side. Should we risk it again like what was happened with Ruth? Sonya is 69 but she has medical condition. Another trump term, she would be 74. If something happen, it would be 7-2 instead of 6-3. I think the topic is worth for discussion.
Whoopi always takes it personally when age is discussed.
Yep
I think it was ridiculous to bring it up. I've posted earlier that Ginsburg was 87 (not 82) and had TWO forms of cancer, colon and finally pancreatic cancer one of the most deadly forms of cancer. Sotomayor is 18 years younger and has a disease that is manageable with the right care. She could live to be 90. Isn't it interesting that we know NOTHING about the health issues of any of the men on the court, except of the Chief Justice who fainted a couple of times, but we never got a real diagnosis. WHY should Sotomayor be the one to go???? Makes NO sense at all.
So I;m 37yo with diabetes. It;s not a disabilty
@@veronicadabney1466
Because she either once travelled or travels with a medic.
It’s not about age, it’s about taking a REALISTIC assessment of an individual’s health. I work with seniors and I know 60 year olds with one foot in the grave and actually have two close friends who are both 91 and literally the sharpest, most insightful humans I know.
Whoopi, there is no mechanism for removing Supreme Court judges. Get educated. And yes, they all missed the point. It's not about WHO SHOULD GO, but who could be retiring and the crucial timing of that.
Actually there is a mechanism for removing a Supreme Court judge. Congress can impeach a justice. It won’t happen with this congress but they have the power.
Supreme Court Justices can be impeached and removed by Congress, though obviously it's highly unlikely to happen unless something egregious happens.
The Congress can remove them through the impeachment process.
Amen
Once AGAIN................. Alyssa can't finish her point because of the constant being talked over
Omfg when Whoopi is passionate, nobody else gets a chance to talk. This should have been discussed on Friday with Joy moderating
She keeps interjecting and dominating the WHOLE thing. It's like Whoopi, once you have your say, be quiet. Don't react more... let other people speak!!!
I'm so sick of her. I thank G-d for you tube (ability to fast-forward) otherwise I would not be able to watch the show. I love her as an actress, but as moderator? Ugh.
I wish they would give each person a chance to be a moderator
@@gb5262 Yes! Brilliant idea.
Whoopi Goldberg took up most of the segment talking 😂😂😂😂
Like a 🤡
she's been doing that a lot lately
First time watching the show, welcome!
@@hallking7441racist
To make a stupid point lol
Are they that oblivious to medhi point
Yes lol. Imagine if trump gets a fourth ❤
😂
Missed the mark with this conversation
I must be, too. I agree with Whoopi. What did I miss?
@SupportTheArts-yo8ox if trump wins that's 4 yrs,she's 70,anything can happen, now the court is 7-2 republican, he's saying, to play it safe retire and let biden appoint someone younger,and not have a ruth bader situation again
WHOOPI YOUR JOB IS TO MODERATE NOT STEAMROLL
🦝
her job is also to give her opinion just like everyone else. people complain when she does not and also complain when she does
First time I’ve agreed with you.
I agree with Whoopi that "WE need to get rid of the people that don't do their job" That's why WE are going to get rid of Sleepy Joe in November
Whoopi also is allowed to state her opinion as well as moderate the table!
They missed the entire point and will be the first ones crying/complaining wondering how we ended up with a 7-2 conservative court.
Ugh... Whoopi showed the embodiment of "listening to respond" rather than "listening to understand".
Here in Australia we wouldn’t even be having this debate. All judges here have a mandatory retirement age of 70! Keeps the court bench fresh and allows regular new appointments. America would be wise to adopt this for their Supreme Court.
Agree no reason for people to be dying on the bench
The problem lies in the fact that those judges are very greedy. Take Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for example; she could have retired when President Obama was in office, but she chose not to do so, driven by her ego. America fundamentally struggles with certain common sense issues ingrained in our society, which only new generations can address. Consider the prolonged implementation of Obamacare; despite America's status as a superpower, it's puzzling that we lack many of the benefits enjoyed by developed countries.
Mehdi's right! You can't remove Thomas.
It’s a hard pill to swallow but RBGs refusal to retire is, in part, why we now have a court that will be Republican majority for many years. All the most recent Republican appointed justices are under age 60 which means they will probably be there for 20 years. Not retiring at a politically advantageous time gives the opposition the opportunity to appoint another young justice that will be there for 20-30 years. It’s not personal and it’s a conversation worth having.
RBG can be excused because no one thought Trump would beat Hillary, all the polls pointed to her beating him handily. Sotamayor however does not have the same excuse with Trump ahead in many polls, and while she might be younger she is getting up there in age for someone with type 1 diabetes.
Then Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was the reason why Justice Scalia was not replaced with nominee Merrick Garland.
What Whoopie just did is a perfect example on how age does not equal wisdom. What was that logic?... and the hubris.
Why isn’t Clarence Thomas retired?
Because Joe Biden is still there. Plain and simple.
Not really. He thrives on owning the libs, why would give up his favorite activity?
@@frostfree7when did he "own" anyone? Hes owned by republicans. I know youe parents are siblings but you gotta do better to overcome your disability
Duh. That’s why it’s a dumb point by Whoopi
@@scottkessel952 exactly. Trump will replace every old Republican judge if he wins. And every democrat too some way or another given the old age ones.
The president cannot tell or suggest a Supreme Court justice to retire.
Whoopi missed the point. Lmao
She is a clown.
You could cut and past your comment on almost every video of the view
Whoopi DOES NOT come prepared and her lack of preparation is disgusting. Mehdi Hasan's statement was more in alignment with Alyssa Farah Griffin's remarks on the matter. I'm sure Sunny is aware that Whoopi is confused, but she chooses not to correct her on national TV.
What we need a 20 year terms for are judges not a life term😮
Not happening until court is even.
It's set up that way for a reason. Learn that reason before criticizing it.
This is what happens when you don’t inform yourself before discussing a topic. Sotomayor is the only justice that has requested to travel with a medic at all times. People don’t do that when it isn’t necessary. I believe Medhi has a point of concern that maybe people should wake up to if they don’t want a repeat of history with RBG.
Judge Ruth not retiring before her death is what got us where we are now
No what got "got us here" was letting Trump in office in 2016. There's something called a domino effect.
Hate that this is the US we live in now where Supreme Court is so politicized
When we had the majority the right didn't cry like us, weird
What decision have they made that's been political? RGB agreed that Roe should be decided by states. Liberals are trying to politicize it with their appointee who can't define a woman
Always has been, you've been asleep at the wheel
Whoopi totally missing the point it seems; this man is concerned Sotomayer will retire/expire over the next few years and potentially give Trump/Republicans another right-wing judge.
Pssst, don’t give too much context . Treat me like I’m dumb and maluable.
He's worried about her dying
Did she say she waa going to retire? She is 69
I agree with Whoopi, Thomas should be gone. The millions of dollars of gifts spent on him were all undeclared. He is corrupt as is his wife
You and whoopi missed the point entirely. He also thinks Thomas should be gone, but thomas is a republican and wouldn’t listen to him or us, so it’s irrelevant to the conversation about *Democratic strategy* with *Democrats*
@@Tortilla.Reformexactly. GOP are very strategic and Democrats are still fumbling around playing by the rules.
Why would he step down? The man is being lavished with gifts and his wife’s neck could be on the chopping block. He is not stepping down, get real Democrats and learn to play the game. Your only hope is that he kicks the bucket before November!
I agree that he should be gone, but are we really going to be able to get him impeached?
@@Sweeetgal8lol. Why would you ask that? No, you can’t get him impeached. Trump will replace him with a 40 year old tho to keep a GOP court for decades.
The Democratic Party doesn't have the power to remove a republican Supreme Court Justice but they do have the power to adjust the Democratic ones who currently sit on the bench. Although Sotomayer is only 69, if Trump wins or the 2028 win (if GOP) and she falls ill, her seat will go to another GOP Justice for the next 40 years. It does make sense to think long term and position someone who is younger whilst we have a chance. She has done well for the Supreme Court, but Democrats can't think for the long game sometimes.
Psssst. Your laying out too much context and describing your view too clearly
You believe the Democrat party can remove Democrat appointed judges? Where in the world did you hear that? Same place you heard Trump is a Russian agent?
Why isn't Mehndi stating that about the MEN who are older (as Sunny pointed out) than Sotomayor?
@@mf568 because they are all conservative justices picked by republican presidents and none of them would retire during a Biden presidency where he would get to replace them. Not everything needs to be turned into a men vs women issue. If he had suggested that he would sound really unknowledgeable about the current makeup of the court. Sonny brought it up to deflect because she feels obligated to defend sotomayor. Please google who the Supreme Court justices are and who appointed them. Don’t just take my word for it.
@@MrMachaelable Then he should've said Whoopi, if they aren't going to follow the law, but wield it to assist one person, they need to leave.
Why does Whoopi always interrupt Alyssa when she's talking?
God, can't Whoopi ever shut up!
Why are these women scoffing WHEN WE LITERALLY HAD THIS HAPPEN ALREADY WITH RUTH GINSBURG?! The Democratic party has a major problem with being so smug
2022 was historical for dems. 2024 will be even better. It’s not smug. It’s numbers.
When you think that these are the most influential voices on the Left, it makes you understand that the Democratic party has a problem of being run by idiots or people lacking political acumen!
Right. Same thing I said they just use strategy at all .That's why the courts are stacked. You have to use strategy in politics which republicans are number one at .
@@jgibson8092 that is changing. The election of 2022 is one example. A blue tsunami is coming
It's crazy how democrats never learn! And I'm a democrat!
Good God Whoopi needs to educate herself before hogging the whole panel's time 😢
Y’all missed the point. The fear is that if she CHOOSES to retire, she needs to do it when there’s a Democratic president and if Trump actually wins in November, we might never see one of those again. Is his fear pretty crazy? Yeah. 10 years ago I wouldn’t have thought that could be possible but we are living in crazy times and the fact that could happen does terrify me and my generation.
Whoopi doesn't sound like she even understands how justice’s are nominated. She said Dems chose not to stack the court, does she think the president can fire judges, like Wtf.
So agree with Whoopi - Thomas should be gone!!!
I think recusal means stepping away from one single case….
To be fair, You and whoopi missed the point entirely. He also thinks Thomas should be gone, but thomas is a republican and wouldn’t listen to him or us, so it’s irrelevant to the conversation about *Democratic strategy* with *Democrats*
Trump will replace 3 of the Republican judges with a 40 year old judges if he wins. They’re close to a permanent 7-2 majority.
Whoopi doesn't understand the point and neither do you
Democrats please stop crying and whining. Get over it.
@@mt3s
Whoopi doesn't want to hear it folks, so everybody should shut up and allow her to filibuster the conversation with her red herring logical fallacy.
John Oliver offered Justice Clarence Thomas a sweet retirement package if he would just step down. He aired it on last week tonight with John Oliver
Whoopi , PLEASE SHUT UP AND LET ALYSSA SPEAK !!!
Whoopi missed the whole point and getting angry for nothing! He does not want the case of Ruth Ginsberg to repeat itself......
They should name this Show the Whoopi Goldberg SHow at this rate
She keeps interjecting and dominating the WHOLE thing. It's like Whoopi, once you have your say, be quiet. Don't react more... let other people speak!!!
the RBG situation worked out well for republicans
whoopi isn’t getting the point at all
I love Whoopi and she has a lot of good takes. She also has no idea what she’s talking about here lol
Yes, she does. I agree with her.
I love Whoopi but sadly this is a common thing with her 🤦🏾♂️
She's letting her own personal feelings on ageism interfere with actual logic. Whoopi didn't learn a a thing with Ginsberg.
She's incoherent most of the time. There are plenty of Black famous people who could take her place. I don't know why they don't encourage her to retire.
Alyssa Farah Griffin is so fearful about Donald Trump being President again but went to work for him in 2020
What does have to do with anything?
Kinda makes a lot of sense why she’s fearful…
Ur speaking common knowledge with no point.
what does that have to do with ANYTHING???
@@gr_dude5864 Exactly!
*When the Supreme Court began there were only 13 Districts. Now, 94 District Courts make up the overall Supreme Court total.*
Whoopi Goldberg at 5:18 "he might be but he's wrong here" 😂🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️
I agree with her.
@@SupportTheArts-yo8oxtrump will win, Sotomayor will pass, and all these ladies will complain about the Supreme Court again then. They have no concept of a pretty basic political strategy
It's more about strategizing to put in a young liberal judge because these conservative judges aren't leaving anytime soon. So when and IF Dems gain control and the only option for updating SCOTUS is by merely replacing what we currently have on the court. That's it.
Term limits are all that's needed. Makes it fair for everyone. The Supreme Court is partisan now, unfortunately. If the executive and legislative branches have term limits, then why not judicial?
Lol. Republicans ain’t passing term-limits. So give it up. Never happening while the court is overloaded with republicans.
You don't understand the Supreme Court and why it is set up that way. Your not smarter than the founders especially when you don't know the reason why they did the things they did
Whoopi called the justices “supremes” 😂
Thomas DEFINITELY needs to be removed but the point of this discussion seemed to be missed by all of them.
Just remember, you would still have Roe if Ginsburg retired when Obama asked her too. Don't let girl boss feminism get in the way of other people's rights
Edit
Maybe my use of the term "girl boss feminism" is triggering, that's my bad, I apologize. What I mean is don't let an ideal like feminism or DEI, distract you from the game, and the point of the game is to win. RBG wanted to wait for Hilary to be president, then she would have stepped down and Hilary the "HBIC" or the girl boss would choose her replacement. Things didn't work out that way and we got Trump who put Kavanagh and ACB, and then Roe got overturned. Ideals are great but we live in reality and reality sucks
But "Girl Boss Feminism" is the only rights Democrats care about evident in you bringing up Roe. There is no "other peoples rights"
I don't think it would really matter. The conservatives already have a solid majority.
The dismantling of Roe opened the door to plenty of other rights being taken away. It's not just over half of our population (women) that should be concerned now. Thomas has already proposed re-looking at Gay marriage laws, and access to contraception. Now Doctors can lose their licenses, or go to jail..friends or family of women in states like TX that will arrest them if they help the women leave the state to get an abortion. @@agendaxpushers1322
We would still have Roe if Obama hadn't meekly caved in to McConnell's obstruction.
A nice Article 2 Sec.3 Special Session in the middle of their July/August vacation might have accomplished something.
No, we wouldn't still have Roe. It would have been overturned 5-4 instead of 6-3, but it still would have been overturned.
Are these women incapable of understandable someone’s basic point. He is talking from a democratic strategic perspective. Of course he’s not going to talk about Republican stepping down that’s not possible.
I can’t wait till this shows off the tv
No one is making you watch!
The ABC trained seals. Is that all their hair?
This show DESPERATELY needs a new host. Other than Alyssa they all missed the point AGAINNNN
Ugh, Whoopi missed the point.
Whoopi missed the point so baaaad😂😂.
Term limits/ age limits for every politician holding office.
Stop with the legal notes - they're stupid!
Whoopi Goldberg does not like when somebody has a different opinion or perspective than her 😂🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️
Trump was right about Whoopi she's sooooooo nasty.
Then takes up all the time defending herself, with half of the explanation just becoming a lot of nothing.
No, its kind of like when I turned 50 right away I started getting all these prompts to buy life insurance in my email. They kind of phrased thIngs in a way that was like " well you know your life is over now" It can feel very offensive and I dont blame Whoopi for reacting as she did@@antonyware
No he made no sense when he's talking about this lady's age,when it coworkers older then her, it's like me saying this person in this shouldn't play because he's 6'4 but it's 2 guys playing with him that are taller then & each other too,making it make sense
Yes, she's your typical Dem
I feel like Whoopie always steam rolls the conversation.
I feel like the point went completely over Whoopi's head.
No john roberts should retire
John Roberts often is the one conservative judge who sides with the liberal judges. He singlehandedly saved Obamacare. Thomas needs to go or one of the other older conservative Justices.
@@camy3018 Amy Coney Barrett was on a talking tour with Sonya Sotomayor recently. The height of hypocrisy: the topic of the discussions were civility and compromise. I mean the nerve of that woman to lecture anyone about compromise, is beyond me. What exactly has Amy Coney Barrett ever compromised in? Maybe she should be the one to "compromise" and retire?
So somebody should retire because you demand it?
@@JustinHenryfan That comment shows you have no idea about the decisions SCOTUS makes. You only know about the ones the liberal media focuses on just to criticise the conservative justices. Take half an hour of your time to look at all the SCOTUS decisions over the last few years then come back and tell us if Barrett is as unreasonable as she’s portrayed in the biased media.
@@bonanimathambo8721 if the democrat doesn’t retire, we could have a Republican 7-2 court very soon for eternity.
joy is such a hoot “she needs to get on ozempic” 🤣
Wow that was embarrassing. Surely someone else at that table understood that point. Isn't one of those ladies a forner Trump advisor? I cant believe no one corrected Whoopi. IMO, they all look stupid by just sitting there silent or even agreeing with her
It's not call stacking the courts. We have 13 judicial districts so we should have 13 supreme Court justices, end of the story. We only have nine, and several justices have to do two there should be one judge for each judicial district and that's it no more no less
Justice has Type 1 and Ozempic may not even work
Whoopi again misses the broader point lol
Whoopi is doing a disservice to our nation on this show all the time.
STOP interrupting Alyssa!!! Geez! I don't give a f what you think, I want to hear her talk without interruptions!!!
We all want Thomas off the bench... But Sotomoyor is the one that can be reasoned with.
@5:10. I noticed Alyssas face when Sunny lied and said she was close personal friends with Mehdi as she says his name wrong 😂 most people don’t mispronounce close personal friends names *and* not correct themselves
Probably Alyssa is tired of Sunny always name dropping. It's so childish
Sadly, many people with unusual names give up on give up on proper pronunciation. So who knows?
She has got to go, no questions asked.
Omfg, how do Joy, Whoopi, and even SUNNY all not get what Mehdi was saying at all? He said we dont want another liberal justice dying and getting replaced by a Republican president, and they're all acting like he doesn't like Sotomayor and just wants a different judge. Christ.
Whoopi is so wrong here! She really doesn't know what she is talking about at times. Need to plan ahead so we dont have the chance of the SC tilting even more to the right.
Justice Sotomayor is 69 years old, for me she can still serve except she want to step down
It's hard to serve when you have a high chance of passing. The reason you put young people in the courts is so they can potentially serve longer periods. Republicans create the game, while Dems worry about playing by the rules
Alyssa is right best on show
How could Whoopi miss this point. Democrats need to smarten up.
Whoopi and Joy get defensive about these topics and don’t give them a chance to be genuinely discussed
Wow, why did they even cover this topic haha. Mehdi was specifically talking about how DEMOCRATS can not lose another seat on the bench, not which justices in particular should retire. They are way too obsessed with age, retirement is 65 for the rest of us. She's almost 70 with diabetes like many older Americans, but many older Americans die each year from that. It's not an attack on the character of a person what age they die at, it is what it is. But for government, we should be able to discuss where or not people in government are too old, because they impact our country.
They’re all just thinking with their emotions instead of logically because they are offended a man is asking a woman to step down. All about gender politics instead of basic political strategy
Whoopi completely missing the point once again. Let me get my crayons out for her. If she actually paid attention to what Mehdi is saying he’s got a very valid point unless we want another RBG situation!
I don’t agree with Medhi’s take but I completely understand the sentiment. Democrats must be proactive or we will have a repeat of RBG.
Why does every thought or opinion that Alyssa expresses sound
poll tested? She really, really wants to be liked, nothing more.
She is a ex politician of sorts
Why do they let Sonny talk? She is a slaver owner
Lies and disinformation. What does that have to do with the segment? Some of her ancestors on mother’s side had enslaved people. Some ancestors on her father’s side *were enslaved.* You people intentionally disregard her enslaved ancestors.
Lmaooo Whoopi missed the whole point
I find it funny how everyone came for Meghan for saying "my friend.."
Sunny does that almost every single show now.
My gosh how many personal friends does Sunny have?!
None. She's lying
@@prooveditt4839How would YOU know who her friends are. Kudos for agreeing another troll.
Why is that important you? She was TV journalist just like he is.
@@Chillhard if you notice she seems to preface almost every time she speaks, “[so-and-so] is a close personal friend of mine.” It was impressive the first few years, but now it makes me wonder if she exaggerates…which leads me to wonder what else she exaggerates at
@@Chillhard the other people on the panel can't stand her and she just claimed men (includes her husband) have no use. Plain to see this slave owner has no friends
I wish they would of chosen Tara Setmayer instead of Alyssa Farah Griffin because she wasn't afraid to push back against Whoopi Goldberg or anybody else at the table.
No she would just be Loud and be wrong
Why are people thinking that Sotomayor needs to retire when there are a few republican appointed Supreme Court justices who are older???
Because Biden can appoint a replacement
Because otherwise Trump can replace the democrat with a Republican if democrat dies.
Because she has an illness serious enough she travels with a medic, if Trump wins 4 more years and something happens to her- we are stuck with an even more Republican Supreme Court for a very long time.
Someone let Sarah Raines that Ruth Bader Ginsberg was 87 when she died as a Supreme Court Judge
Doesn’t matter either way. 70 year olds die all the time.
Whoopi Goldberg not letting Alyssa Farah Griffin talk this much in this segment but did a couple of days ago when she saying something good about President Joe Biden.
Totally agree! I really feel sorry for her.
I agree with Whoopi!
You're uninformed as to the point Mehdi is making. It is not about ageism.
Joy saying she has a very silly streak, which is why I LOVE her.
Medhi was fired by MSNBC, maybe he is bitter.
Joy called a 70 year old woman a baby 😂😂😂 but just last week they arguing words have meanings.. I say she stay and retire when Trump is reelected since they missed the whole point of the conversation.. but women will women they heard age and all rational thoughts went out the window
Whoopi missing the whole point, again.
Oh Sunny, everyone is your friend
She's the liberal Meghan.
Not if you ask them
@@prooveditt4839Who are her friends that you propose to ask. I thought so.
@@Chillhard Ya who are they? you proved my point. Sorry, sounds like you counted yourself as one. Sad
@@prooveditt4839 You didn’t have a point to prove. Just admit you dislike her and call it a day.
Absolutely love this show. Best comedy sitcom on TV today.
How insulting. I’m pretty sure I disagree with Justice Sotomayor on a lot of things but I trust that she makes the decisions that she believes are correct. There’s no reason for her to retire.
You are ignorant AF. If something happens to her elderly self while trump in office, we are stuck with 7-2 Republican majority forever.
Why does Alyssa Farah Griffin keep bringing up Nikki Haley voters? There were much more Donald Trump voters than Nikki Haley voters.
