Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here, the Eric Erickson show across the nation. I've got housekeeping out of the gate. This is very important. I have an opening for a new listener. If any of you know someone who would like to be smarter than their neighbors and the most informed person at their office water cooler at their church.

We've got an opening for a listener.

I got an email from a listener a little while ago said he can never listen again.

We'll never listen again because he is upset.

I have for my Georgia audience when I was a drive time host just doing Georgia stuff, I would

always put out the list of people I voted for or thought you should vote for. And he is perturbed

So we have an opening for just, not two, not three, not a dozen, just one more listener.

The airwaves can make space for one more listener allowed to listen, let your friends know that they can tune in and become

smart people.

There's one formerly smart person who will now regrade in his brains, and we should pray for

his soul.

We can move on now.

listed the names of the people. You can print it out and take it with you and follow along. There

is one race. All right. I got to I got to tell you all this story. This wasn't what I was going to

talk about all the gate. But everywhere, I don't care who you are, wherever you are. So there is a Supreme Court justice. Her name is Verta Colvin.

She used to be a judge in the county in which I live. I was a lawyer for a number of years.

She was a highly regarded lawyer. She became a judge.

She actually went viral on the internet and everywhere when several years ago she lectured a

young black man and a gang who had accidentally killed a friend and she was sending him to jail
