but talk me throug propublica s investigation trump implications it has ou four nation s highest court an what you are hearing about wha investigations here will loo like this story by my colleagues was the product of months of reporting. i mean, talking t dozens of people, digging in places that no one else wa digging, to uncover a stor that i think really sort o shook our political an judicial system, which is that clarence thomas seems to hav flouted, ignored at the ethics rules governing supreme courts for decades, accepting fre trips on a billionaire republican donors yacht, going on luxury vacations, flying on a private jet. the revelations here, i think, are standing. the underscore that the suprem court does not have a mechanis for enforcing th anti-corruption transparency
any other eye where do we put our trust? certainly not in this court, i doesn t seem to have any interest in policing itself or even maintaining the objects o being above board and no partisan lisa marie, if you are up t me, this entire show would be recitation of your tweet threats. thank you so much for bringing your expertise and analysis to us every weekend i appreciate you i want to bring in democrati congressman she s also a civil rights an criminal defense attorney, which i ve been thinking about a lot, congresswoman, as i hav heard you breaking down over and over again what is happening legally with abortio in this country. i want to play some sound from vice president harris. this is on abortion access take a listen. there is no question that the president and i are goin to stand with the women of america and do everything we can to ensure that women hav the ability to make decision about their health care, their reproductive health care in manner that is what they nee
