ironic it is that your the justice says when they re nominate and they re going through the confirmation process, they say we don t like to comment on hypothetical cases. and it was watching the opening segment and it was like no one is aggrieved, there actually is no case here, but they have no problem making decisions about hypothetical cases if, that, say someone one day was aggrieved. that s a great point. they re-found their ability to weigh in on high post. exactly. great show as always, my friend. great to see, you enjoy the rest of your evening off. and thanks to at-home for joining us tonight. alex has the night off. i m filling in for her this evening. but we begin tonight with the supreme court. and his name was jerome rebels he was born in 1827 he was a minister in the amy church. he served as a chaplain for the army for the american civil war. and in 1870, he was elected by the mississippi legislator to the united states senate believe it or not. the firs

if you follow politics at all you will know the president trump s new lawyer, rudy giuliani, held a news conference after the 20 1:20 election, was held at four seasons total landscaping, a gardening business nestle between adult bookstore and a crematorium. honestly, i don t know that we have heard definitively settled on why the press conference was held there, but the whole reason rudy g event gilles at trotted him on out this morning from the guarding business was to basically claim that the election had been stolen. the real chef s kiss here is that that fever dream of a press conference took place exactly at the national news network, we re calling the election for joe biden. and honestly as unbelievable as that series of events was, it was not even the most memorable news conference that rudy giuliani held that month. just over a week later mr. giuliani held another one, where he appeared to be, for lack of a better term, melting? during that press conference he clai
