in texas. there s been so much confusion there have been conflicting rulings. there truly has been chaos in the idea of what would be available to women beginning tonight, which was when his order was going to take effect. so this just gives everyone a chance to pause. it s only five days, but it s a way for the justices themselves to take a serious look at the briefs and decide should they themselves here. orel arguments should they let this play out at the fifth circuit, which is already now scheduled its own set of oral arguments for me, 17th what should be the next course of action? of course with the department of justice would like is for the justices to make sure that these lower court rulings that went against the food and drug administration then essentially allowed judges themselves to put themselves in the shoes of the fda rhythm than have the expertise of the agency prevail. whether the court will actually interfere with that. anderson do you think it would be a mistake to
stand is superficially unpopular because i understand that it is precisely at those moments when a right is unpopular. that it needs true champions. the conference also marks the first time trump and pence have appeared in person at the same event after their public split following the january 6th attack on the u. s capitol as the two former allies appear on a collision course in 2024 gop primary. and christian homes is there for us now. what sort of response did the former vice president and the president and the former president get well, first of all, anderson. i do want to note that they did not overlap. pence spoke early, and he left almost immediately afterwards for a donor retreat in nashville. they too, have still not spoken in over two years now, when it comes to reception, this was very much clearly the former president s event even walking into the event that billboard that listed the speakers had a giant picture of former president trump with wayne lapierre, and just some o
probably sad for this kid to elliott based on what we know right now. what are the suspects option? as for a defense, i mean, how much could his fabi riding on whether you cooperate with the government? i think a tremendous amount anderson. i don t think he has a lot of a defense here because this was a case that was built largely over electronic materials. and so you have communications. you have records of documents or information that he would have shared online. you have text communications where he s having with other people. the crime is committed via computers, so there s really not up much of a defense here. i think you know what s not call it a defense but maybe at sentencing if he is convicted. what he can say is number one. i served the country number two. i don t have a criminal history number three. i thought i was doing something righteous. but most importantly , number four. i accept full responsibility for what i did. each of those four things identified are ways that a
more restrictive rules, justice alito stayed the ruling until 11 59 wednesday night, while the court considers an emergency appeal from the biden administration. he also talked we already i should say you also asked plaintiffs to respond on or before 12 pm tuesday. joining us now is cnn senior supreme court analyst joan biskupic. she s the author of nine black robes inside the supreme court s drive to the right and its historic consequences, also with us in an anchor and senior legal analyst laura coates. so john, can you just explain why was it solely justice? alito who made the decision was that would you expected? ah yes, anderson. it s great to be with you tonight. first of all, samuel alito is the justice responsible for emergency appeals from the fifth circuit. all the regional circuits are divided among the justices, just for this reason to be able to act quickly, and i actually did expect this kind of action. frankly it s very sensible. just think of what s happened over the la
impressed with the list of deliverables desantis had that that was impactful for him to hear about the things that he had promised to do. and then things that he had accomplished late last night. the governor signed florida s new six week abortion ban into law today spoke the conservative evangelical liberty university in virginia. he didn t make mention of it during his speech, and he mentioned it tonight in new hampshire. right no, he did not mention it tonight, and that is worth noting, because, as i said, he did go through so many specific achievements that he had there. but we did not hear him mention that specifically at all at the event tonight, and as you mentioned anderson, he was at liberty university, and he really the closest he came, was saying that he and his administration had promoted a culture of life. but again, not really harping on that at all. he had signed that six week abortion ban late thursday night . anderson appreciate it. thank you just had something very pr
