insurrection or not, that s not for the supreme the court. they are not going to go through the facts and remind the facts. that s for the trial part. supreme court didn t even do that. for somebody watching this and why not? the supreme court does not have trial capacity. what the supreme court does is take the record, as we call it, as established in a trial court. and they can base a legal decision. they don t have a witness box. they have argument peddle stalls basically. i would focus on the procedural here. is it up to congress or up to the states. that s the first question. second of all, if up to the states, did they give trump enough due process? and then there s this question that makes you nuts. is the president an officer. the reason you find that frustrating is because you have a very logical brain, which would say, of course, the president is an officer, but the
and then it also meant that you would not have a full overturning, so that itself was a compromise. and for political reasons, reinterpreted that, arguing different ways and said that roe v. wade had allowed abortion on demand. it never did. so what had been a stable political compromise, built on top of a supreme court president that granted is certain right, that was taken down by this decision. and then republicans had a choice. what the ruling did was through this back into the political arena. i would say, a savvy political operator, would say hey guys, go slow here. this has never happened before. a fundamental right has never been taken away before. the history of the court, and there was a stable compromise that was in place for 50 years. if you mess around with this, and try to claim ultimate
recuse themselves from critical decisions that are worth billions of dollars from people who are befriending them on vacations. that has got to come to an end. there is one person who could end it before the sun sets today. chief justice john roberts. it s time for him to step up, and announced that there will be a code of ethics for the supreme court, and the disclosure laws will apply, and they will follow at least the same rules as every other federal judge in america. not doing so is really at the expense of the reputation of the court. yes, and don t have them voting he said into institutionalist who has at times fiercely try to protect the reputation of the court. so you think that he would do that. i do wonder senator. how much power do you have? what is your jurisdiction in the united states congress to pass that sort of code of ethics? people don t understand, but you know, the supreme court didn t used to be as powerful as it is. in fact it used to sit in the
this, you look at the will of the people. e 65, 70% of americans being ignored? e and overturning a 50-year precedent. unfortunately, they have destroyed the credibility of the court. the far-right has. and my prediction is, it s coming. there is going to be reform. in the judicial branch. i don t know what that reform looks like. but i think it s gonna start with the united states supreme court. because their approval ratings are going to just keep going down as it gets more and more politicized. and let s face it, bought off by an element that has billions of dollars. they re using billions of dollars to buy off the supreme court fights. and at the same time, with the supreme court, right now, that is just running rough over ethics.
just basic ethical considerations. so again. they re doing this to themselves. and when there is reform, and when people talk about a new supreme court that will be less political, and more representative of the country, they can scream and yell all they want it s gonna be their fault. when it s all there are only doing. it will be poor court packing. this is going to be, i predict, a bipartisan group of people that are gonna come together, and say how do we reform this court? and take vicious politics, and the billions, and billions of dollars where does that money come from? that the federal society has, to twist and distort this process. next, only the best people, until they re not. donald trump falling out with many of the members of his former administration. what he had to say about that, this week. this week.
