shouting at president obama during one of his state of the union addresses. i think that is correct. that was president obama attacking the citizens united ruling, and alito saying, no exaggeratedly. it sets the context for what president biden might say tonight about the court at large. and we were talking about the court before, but the other thing going on is unpopular decisions, and also some of this pile public dialogue between justice kagan and miss roberts there, competing events. they ve talked about the perceived legitimacy of the court, and then the very difficult public recording about ethics issues, just for justice thomas, in terms of not recusing from cases in which his wife was playing a material role, but also recently about justice roberts. his wife, having a job in which effectively the first lady, jill biden, trying to take her seat in the visiting box that
members of the senate, you ll see coming in, so members of the cabinet, leader of the republican and senate there on the left side of the screen, mitch mcconnell. you ll see a lot of this as we are getting settled in here, senator klobuchar, dick durbin behind her. the thing about mccarthy is that i have to constantly remind myself, joy, that kevin mccarthy in this congress has the same size majority that nancy pelosi had in the last congress. nancy pelosi, despite physical stature, never seen that small because she could get her conference to do whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. he is presiding over something much more fractious. in just a few minutes, we are going to is that tom cruise? oh, i am sorry, that s george santos. it s an astronaut. it s also the president of some country, i can t remember which. we ll be joined next by someone who has been with president biden for moments like these
