cavanaugh, and them sayi ing inconsistent things with respect to the draft opinion. i find it disingenuous, they are all members of the federal society and their positions on abortion were well known before they had the conversation with the senator and before they went before the senate confirmation hearing. they have shown us what they would do. susan colins and other republicans on the senate confirmation hearing and within the senate itself refused to what they demonstrated and in fact, they embraced them and we are at this day sooner than we thought we would be here. as shocked as we are, we are not surprised. yeah, indeed and of course, chief justice john roberts calls this an egregious leak.
versus wade. and while the court says it is not the final opinion, across this country, the reaction now to the idea that after 50 years, roe versus wade could be overturned in a matter of weeks. the protests and demonstrations, crowds gathering at the supreme court again today. the leak only heightening concerns that the highest court in the land has become even more politicized. chief justice john roberts, who called the leak an egregious breach, has now tapped the court s marshal to lead the investigation into the leak. and president biden warning again today the landmark decision is about more than abortion, sayi ing of former president trump s movement, quote, maga is the most extreme political organization that s existed in recent american history. if the final ruling does overturn roe, 26 states are ready to ban abortion likely very quickly, including 13 states that have so-called trigger laws that ban it immediately. tonight, we take you to those states ahead of any decision th
and it is especially vitriolic in the house of representatives. so much name calling and finger pointing across the aisle. a symbol of open revolt. republicans in the house of representatives today staging a symbolic mask-free walk to the senate, where masks are not required. they re battling a new rule saying house members have to wear masks inside chambers. gop congresswoman margeorie taylor greene tweeted, sayi ing- this institution is a sham! and we should adjourn and shut this place down. [ applause ] reporter: congressman chip roy, led an unsuccessful vote to shut down the mask. we have a crisis at our border, and we re playing footsie with mask mandates in the people s house.
i think it really goes back to that. i think they re testified of what michael cohen could come out and say. it s really funny that they are trying not to paint michael cohen as a liar. of course months ago giuliani was sayi ing he is a credible person, that he completely flipped his perception of michael cohen. you have to ask who was michael cohen lying on behalf of? he worked for the president. i think seth made a good point. when you lie down with dogs, you re going to get fleaings. he s not going to be a perfect witness. prosecutors are not going to rely solely on his word. we have to remember he is testifying or he plans to testify that there were others in the room when the president approved of this trump tower meeting. and that meeting, you know, i think was really a turning point in this campaign. if they can prove that trump approved of it, then that s a really big deal. before we go, seth, can you elaborate on how credible a witness michael cohen can really be? the guy is
just saw between mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer, ryan to you first. chuck schumer really getting the last word, saying that the republicans having the majority in both houses and in the white house, the responsibility squarely falls on the majority to compromise, the democrats offering a compromise, but schumer sayi ing it s the republicans who have failed the nation by allowing the government to shutdown. what does this mean this point forward? well, the biggest thing, fred, is that these two speeches by these two leaders aren t a whole heck of a lot different than they were yesterday. so that gives us some indication that the ball hasn t really moved forward at all. to give some context about what senator schumer were talking about, it is true that he and the president did have somewhat of a tentative deal on the table. but when you talk about funding for the wall, this goes back to
