laura: great to see you as laura: great to see you as always. always. 600 colleges across the country now require we went to get the vaccine before stepping foot on campus be some students and faculty are stepping foot on campus be some students and faculty are fighting back suing indiana university saying it violates the constitutional rights a smacked it downuit the last week the ruling was upheld by the appeals court that wrote people who do not want to be vaccinated may go classes start in exactly two weeks leaving the students in limbo now it s in the hands of the supreme court joining me now is one of the students doing and also the attorney. so what is your plan? they don t accept many cases on certiorari or very many emergency appeals two weeks is a short period of time. what next? my a plan is to wait in cia
district court, the appeals court is, a strong indicator that the supreme court might rule in the same thing. in fact, normally, that s a strong indicator that the supreme court won t each taven the case. they will say there is nothing to resolve here, one party has lost at every level, we ll leave the lower court, the appellate court ruling in tact and decline certiorari, we re decline hearing this case, because there doesn t seem to be an issue of law that requires supreme court review. they did take the case, and the president s attorney applauded the decision to hear. it how strong of a legal case do they have? or is team trump just looking to delay? trump is counting on the fact that he feels like he has a supreme court that is favorable to him, unlike the lower courts, and in a sense, he has already appointed two supreme court justices, and in his mind, he may think that these are justices that would be loyal to him. but at least in terms of a justice like gorsuch, he is a
and all that is saying is hey, let s just pause these proceedings while the trump side has the chance to brief the issue for the supreme court. it s not even a grant of what we call certiorari. it is not even a decision by the supreme court to take on the case. in fact, if they, they may deny certiorari, they acknowledged that in their very short order, and if they do, then the stay automatically disappearance. so this is hardly a win. the heavy favorites are still the democrats in this battle. let s talk about rudy giuliani here, being a part of this broader federal investigation. and we re hearing now this news about the subpoenas being issued to people connected to rudy giuliani and the president subsequently as well, seeing that rudy giuliani is the personal lawyer now of the president. giuliani s attorneys basically saying they have not received any requests. they do not know of these requests or who they were issued to. what does this mean for the former mayor? and also for som
reason to reverse it, and the supreme court has often said we sit to review judgments, not to write elaborate opinions and essays. there is nothing in this judgment for the supreme court to disagree with. it seems to me if this case did not involve the president of the united states that the supreme court would be very unlikely to even take it. i don t think they ll take it anyway. the fact that it involves the president gives them an additional reason not to, because for the court to jump into a politically deep thicket and a swamp of sorts, when the legal ruling is clear, convincing and unmistakably correct would be to invite a political mud fight that the court doesn t need and doesn t want. so you think it s possible they won t even grant certiorari? they won t even agree to hear the case? i think the most likely thing is simply not agreeing to hear
of appeals said, you re right, they have to do five years. and, frankly, the hammonds didn t protest got denied certiorari, and they walked back in. jenna: they don t feel they re part of the protesters, that these are separate groups. i m going to have to take a pause, there s a lot of questions that we have more you, but, jon, we do have some breaking news that we want to make sure we get to before it actually happens. jon: and that s right, jenna. the president is being introduced right now. we expect he ll be out in less than two minutes to make his executive orders on gun control in the east room there of the white house. our bret baier, the anchor of special report, is standing by. bret, what s the goal today? well, jon, the goal is to, basically, get out in front of this. the president s talked about it a lot, he s, as you ve seen, been angry about it on the podium in the white house numerous times after mass shootings.
