Caps Mortgage Interest Rate deductions at 750,000. And caps the state and local Tax Deductions at 10,000. Now, on the tax brackets that weve been talking so much about, this actually, this proposal, this bill that they are voting on keeps 7 personal incomes tax brackets. Lowest stays there with 10 . But lowers top individual rate. Down from 39. 6 to now 37 . So a lot of details with massive massive tax overhaul. But again at the end of the day today, republicans looking for a win. Sunlen, thank you so much. Well ta in close contact with you and keep your eyes on the screen here on the house floor as the vote is set to get under way. And after the fact a massive victory lap over at the white house. Before we get there, i have with
at all. And so thats going to be really interesting to watch next year. You know, especially in those districts where you have vulnerable republicans and the Hillary Clinton won in 2016. Maybe this is the message to help some of those republicans, abby, i saw
to private citizens using vigilante justice, what s your take here? they don t like the structure? i don t know what that means? i think that s right, stephanie. as julia said, i don t know that this means ultimately that roe v. wade is going to survive this term, but i think it means that justices barrett, kavanaugh, and roberts demonstrated that they were skeptical, if not downright hostile to the structure of this law because it evades judicial review. i think we all expected to hear this question about, isn t it true if you can do this with abortion rights, effectively, making them evade all judicial review, can t you it with all other rights, like gun rights? but i don t think we expected to hear it from brett kavanaugh. so the fact that we did, it appears that those legises in addition to the more liberal justices are hostile to this law. and so i think we could see this struck down, although as julia has said, we still have that dobbs case on the docket for december, which is
more likely vehicle to reconsider the continuing validity of roe v. wade. amy, your life s work is on the line. even if the supreme court knocks down the law, how long would it take for you to get your clinic back to normal? you ve said that this law has forced you to turn away 80% of the women you serve. right. we are? critical condition in the state of texas. the clinics that have been open can only serve people up to six weeks of pregnancy, because this law is so extreme and it s so damaging. and so we ve got to get some help as soon as possible from the supreme court. they ve got to weigh in. you can t just take away the rights of 10% of this country s people of reproductive age who live in texas and not answer for it. they ve got to step in. we re at day 63 today, where abortion rights are so severely restricted in the state of texas and it s affecting people s communities, their health, their future.
questions about how far this law could go. could it also be applied to other policies, in which you would allow civilian vigilantes to sue people who might have some connection to a policy, not just like abortion, but you could even make it gun control, you could have it infringe on religious liberties. those questions gave a lot of hope to people who hoped to see this law overturned. but that skepticism doesn t necessarily mean that the law will be overturned. we still have to see how they will weigh in. and it also doesn t mean that it will be overturned in the near-term. those decisions can take months. and then we also have to remember that in december, they re hearing oral arguments in the mississippi case that bans abortions at 15 weeks, and that really gets to the heart of roe v. wade. even if these conservative justices decide that this law shouldn t go forward and they do side with the abortion advocates here in this case, they may still decide to weaken roe v. wade in just ab
texas. the supreme court heard two challenges to the state s restrictive abortion law, which effectively bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. but even with a 6-3 conservative majority, the court seems skeptical of that law, with most conservative justices concerned about the law s structure and what it could mean for other issues, like guns and same-sex marriage. julia ainsley is all over this story. bashr mcquaid, former u.s. attorney and msnbc legal analyst, also with us. amy hagstrom miller. he s the president and ceo of whole women s health, which is the plaintiff in one of those supreme court cases. julia, the justices seem skeptical, but that doesn t mean abortion rights are totally in the clear. can you explain this to us? yeah, that s right. i mean, oral arguments are all about reading the tea leaves, seeing what questions get asked. and i think it was surprising yesterday to hear from the more conservative justices, especially justice kavanaugh and justice barrett, a
