and i think that across the board, the vast majority of the american people don t agree with a lot of the decisions the courts are making. president biden in an exclusive interview with my colleague, nicolle wallace, responding to today s very predictable supreme court decision on affirmative action. and that is where we begin tonight, with the united states supreme court once again turning the arc of justice away from equality and back to the early 20th century. striking down the use of affirmative action in college admissions. the roberts court, which wouldn t even look like the court it is today without affirmative action, decided that race conscious admissions programs at harvard university and the university of north carolina violate equal protection under the constitution. it is fitting then that it would be the court s first black woman justice, ketanji brown jackson, who clearly articulated the cost of this latest regression. writing in her dissent, with let them
he named the explicit damage and target and harm this court is doing. but doesn t want to take any action. and that is what rubbed me wrong, because as a black woman in this country, as an individual who is under direct attack from multiple precedent breaking decisions over the past few years from this court, i don t have the patience. so i m looking at biden like, you need to use every tool available to you, beyald a study, beyond a report, and consider your options because you can t say this court is taking the country in the wrong direction in one breath and then do nothing about it. we had this conversation with the great rachel maddow and nicolle afterwards, that there is this sort of disconnect between biden s institutionalism. he is an og politician. he s been around doing this since he was 29. and he really does believe in the institutions. he s not faking that. he s like barack obama that way. and the kind of panic that people are feeling, women, lgbtq folks, minorities of a
and i want to go back to your point about the launch. couple of facts to understand here. first a launch of this kind of icbm is something that takes at least two months to plan. this had nothing to do with this tit for tat on spies. it was a launch that obviously was in the books for a while planned secondly, after the new stark treaty that triggered earlier this year, instead of competition between two countries, ours and theirs in numbers, we are competing in terms of quality of launch weapons. so what you are looking at in many ways, his statement they re still in the game. russia s economy tanked, it came up a little last year, but this is a country with icbms in oil and not a lot else to speak for it. i think in context you have to keep everything at a pitch that s below a dull roar. i don t think it s a panic moment. what i think it means, we have to be unified in alerting putin and reminding him we are a
next few days to see what is going on with the suspect and wary to what is open with various landmarks like the eiffel tower or euro disney. i think also the people here are not real oo interested in going to the big public places right now. i think they are waiting to see what happens. as i said, people were on a knife edge today when they thought there was a possible attack. i think people are really fragile and aren t looking to go to these places as of now. all right, chapman bell live from paris. thank you very much. joining me now by phone is paul akerman. editor and chief of huffington post france. paul was describing today, the first day parisians are able to leave their homes at all, really. but still a real mood of fear in the city. that s probably exacerbated by the fact that there is an active manhunt for the suspect. yes, what happened in early evening today, panic moment.
