Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Folks, I can't stop saying it. My book is Atheism Dead is almost out. If you want to pre-order a copy, you can get it 45% off.

If you go to the right link at ericmetaxis.com, I think it's the Baker link. You have to look, but that's an insane price and that's going away.

So I want to tell you up front so you don't email me asking where

do I find it. That's where you find it. I'm talking to my friend Jenna Ellis about the news of the day.

We're talking about fear mongering. We're talking about vaccine mandates. Can you give us an update

since you know a lot about the Supreme Court on what lies ahead, because it is

interesting to have a majority of people that we would consider actual constitutionalists.

What do you suppose will happen in the next term?

Yeah, it's going to be really fascinating.

The new term started October 4th, and there are already a few cases on the docket that are going to be argued into November and December that are going to have huge implications on religious liberty, on abortion in the United States, and on the Second Amendment. They've actually taken up the first Second Amendment case since 2008 and the

District of Columbia versus Heller decision. So that'll be interesting. And, you know, before we get into

a couple of these cases, you mentioned, you know, we actually have a majority that are constitutionalists.

Well, first, I hope so. And I don't categorize Justice Roberts at all. Oh, I wasn't talking about him.

I know.

I know.

So we hopefully have at least a 5-4.

But what a lot of people say is, well, you know, you're just as activist then as the Democrats.

Well, no, that's not true because wanting a conservative majority means we actually understand what the judicial branch is designed for,

which is to hold accountable the two political branches and to make sure to preserve and protect

our rights. Well, look, we've gotten trapped into this kind of language. The fact of the matter is,

if you are not a constitutionalist, an originalist, in my mind, you're an activist, period. So you can call a constitutionalist or an originalist, in my mind, you're an activist, period.
