every june. the final days of the supreme court term where you see the running of the reporters. maybe you have seen this scene before. the court of course takes its own time. the big and close cases often spark the most debates and rewrites. they tend to come in these last days of the term, typically late june where clerks and reporters and new reporters, assistants, interns come sprinting out of the court old-school with those key june rulings. in fact, it was late june 12 years ago the supreme court upheld oberweis in one of its last days in session.amacare in last days in session. people came out because you don t know which day the ruling happens and they filled the front area there, late june, a monumental case in one of the last days of the term. or maybe you remember where you were in the otherwise slow week when the court made history. that s our msnbc coverage there. we were showing some of the same stuff you see in the other footage of at the time, oh, and i was ou
america to a state of, quote, godliness. the secret recordings that are creating fresh controversy for supreme court justice samuel alito. plus, a rare op-ed from attorney general merrick garland this morning, defending the doj as the house takes new steps towards holding him in contempt. and later, a primary day battle of wills, how donald trump s endorsement power is colliding with kevin mccarthy s revenge tour in south carolina. great to have you with us. thank you for being here. it is 10:00 eastern. i m ana cabrera reporting from new york. we begin with verdict watch in the federal gun case against hunter biden. the jury back to deliberations this morning after being handed the case yesterday afternoon, following closing arguments where the prosecution called the evidence overwhelming. and the defense argued the prosecution had not proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt. nbc s ken dilanian is outside that courthouse in wilmington. also with us, civil rights at
