-- amarillo, texas. you can understand why, of all the judges in the country, this group would have wanted to put in front of him. you had to think that had some impact on the rulings that were issued. >> the wife of republican senator josh hawley was the lead attorney, arguing in favor of limiting access to these pills. i'm certainly not saying that the wife of the senator should not have a power career, but how is it that this woman is the person arguing this case before the supreme court? >> it feels very random, right? >> random or not random at all. >> right. if she had a political antenna she would know this is not a good thing for the republican party right now. the last thing they want is another roe v wade case to come up and for women to lose any sort of rights because this is basically the rocket fuel for democrats. you are the leader of the republican party, donald trump, unable to even really name his policy position on abortion because he knows how toxic it is. >> he doesn't have to name it

you look at kay granger of texas. she has a distinguished record, she has served a long time. she announced today that she is stepping down as chair of the house appropriations committee. she is over 80. maybe she decides to pack it in early, and there could be other members that have personal or family reasons why they need to leave, or perhaps, obviously, some might be heading to the private sector, so it's hard to say who will be next, but at this rate, i bet there will be another one or two, who might leave. >> only in congress, when leaving when you are over the age of 80 is considered packing it in early. that is amazing to me. conor, let's go back to the house republican budget , calling for raising the retirement age for social security. you mentioned a moment ago, this is an election year. they have to know, this will not go over well with older voters. >> again, when trump isn't telling them what to do, they are totally lost, and at times, they fall back on the old paul ryan playbook, and maybe it makes a group of them feel good, but it's not just politically stupid,

it is also creating anxiety among the latino community in texas. latinos make up 40% of texas now. that's a lot of people in the state who could be under reasonable suspicion based on how they look for being stopped because some law enforcement officer thinks they might be here illegally. this type of law makes no sense. it is about politics and i'm glad that the fifth circuit at least right now, temporarily hasn't joined it. >> i want to break down the law you are talking about. this bill would not only allow state and local police officers to arrest people suspected of being here illegally, right? but it would also allow the deportation of migrants to mexico regardless of the country that the person is from. now, president lopez of mexico said they are not going to accept the return of any folks to its territory from texas. there are so many things here. right? mexico is one of our closest and most valued economic partners. what we are describing in this bill that this law would be sounds very, very eeriely like profiling to me. do you believe that governor abbott has thought thr
