Turry. Re action is critical but not for the reasons you miement expect. Its about prolgs else as opposed to principle. Harvards imminent scholar constitutional scholar lawrence treating i admire Justice Stephens but his supposedly simple but dramatic step of repealing the Second Amendment is awful advice. The obstacle to strong gun laws is political not legal. Urging a politically impossible effort just strengthens opponents of achievable reform. Ed henry joins with us more reaction. Great to see you. Re at check here, that repealing the Second Amendment would be a Monumental Task to the highly unlikely to tamm happen. This highlights how far the left is trying to chip away at the right to bear arms as President Trump predicted back in the 2016 campaign. This time, its 97yearold retired Justice John Paul stevens who was no nalted by a republican president but became a leading liberal voice on the high court for 35 years. Now, claiming the Second Amendment is as you say a relic of the
Whose name is not up there . Rachel maddow. Thats okay. The Stormy Daniels of msnbc, apparently. Hey, wait apparently he is so afraid of you. Thats what it means if he hasnt attacked you. He is so afraid of you, he doesnt want people to know you exist. Thats how afraid he was. Also there was that shark week thing between us. Thats exactly right. Thank you, lawrence. Thank you, rachel. That worked. Got a little bit of a blush out of rachel. The news of the night is there is no white house. Have you realized that yet . There is no white house.

Election sabotage. Do you feel vindicated in the mueller investigation. What is in the indictment. Russians recruited and paid real americans to engage in political activities. And why whats not in the indictment could mean big trouble for the president. No puppet no, puppet. Youre the puppet. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Robert mueller just revealed again weve only scratched the surface of what he and his team discovered about the 2016 election. He charged 13 russian nationals with interfering in the American American political process through what they caused information warfare.
