| 0:00.0 | You know, back in the 60s and 70s, this just wasn't a super contentious issue in this country. |
| 0:04.4 | And it seems like in the 80s, this became a much more contentious issue with voters. |
| 0:08.7 | I think so many people have relied upon this decision. |
| 0:11.4 | And it's now become a right. |
| 0:13.2 | It's been in place my entire life. |
| 0:14.8 | And if I were a justice, I would vote to uphold this. |
