shannon: joint statement from senator schumer and speaker pelosi saying several of these conservative justices who are in no way accountable to the american people have lied to the u.s. senate, ripped up the constitution and defiled both president and the supreme court s reputation all of the expense of tens of millions of women stripped of their bodily autonomy and the constitutional rights that they relied on for half a century. i ve seen all over the place in different networks. playing the clips of various justices being asked how they felt about the idea of super president. democrats are saying that they lied, the justices, to get confirmed to the bench. your reaction. that is political nonsense from politicians on capitol hill. it is yet another reason why the justices need to protect the integrity of the supreme court and get this opinion issued as soon as possible. shannon: okay. mike davis, we appreciate your time. thank you very much. coming up, a look at some of the ot
