Theres recently been a lot of speculation about just that kind of scenario. But we dont have to actually imagine because Something Like that has happened before in july offo 1981. Heres the headline. Reagan reversing many u. S. Policies. The New York Times reported the reaganli administration has set about accomplishing a sweeping reversal of policy and practice in the way the government deals with business and individual citizens. In key cabinet and regulatory posts the reagan transformation amounts to a revolution of attitude involving the appointment of officials who in previous administrations might have been ruled out over concern of lack of interest or open or ostilt to the mission of the agencies theyhe now lead. Sounds familiar. President reagan embarked on what you might call the first modern purge of the administrative state, filling the federal government with young conservative zealots who were looking to carry out a radical newo agenda. And nowhere was that more evident th
Should the Chief Justice have to answer for an outof control court . As we await Jury Instructions in new york. I did everything right and they indicted me. George conway on the man nikki haley just indoors. Do you think donald trump would follow the constitution if he were elected to a second term . I dont know. The american doctor who shot these unbelievable Scenes Inside A Gaza Hospital and he will join me live. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Its been 24 hours since reporting by the New York Times revealed that a flag championed by the far right Christian National movement, displayed widely by january 6 insurrectionist as they Storm Thedonald trump also flew all summer long last year over the beachhouse of Supreme Court Justice Samuel alito. That news about that flag came days after we learned that his home in virginia also displayed an upside down american flags in the weeks after the violent sacking of the capitol.

like being this self-styled maverick. but the thing is she s had the opportunity to explain okay, what do you want? what do you want in this bill? she s had a chance to explain to the white house, to the press. and she has refused to do so. listen, i think we can all agree john mccain not necessarily the same side of every issue we re talking aboutss here, but you kw where heyo stood. he certainly loved talking to the press about what he wanted and how he wanted to get it. i think there is a grandstanding nation about this that seems more about public relations and publicity. i don t know exactly what it is and the white house doesn t seem to know either and i think that sse the frustration a lot people have. to t the point i was making there earlier, she is the idelog in this. when he voted down the republicans attempt to try to repeal obamacare, he was standing up toca the idelogs in his party because it had wide support among the americane public. she s doing thepp opposite. of de
voted againsth including a $15 federal minimum wage in the covid relief package. now, i m not defending john mccain, certainly not his hawkish foreign policy, but he didh defy his party by stoppin gop idelogs from killing an exceedingly popular program in obamacare. let s bera clear here, kyrsten sinema is no john mccain. in fact, she s the exact opposite. she s the idelog blocking programs favored by the vast majority of the public. we don t know why but we can guess. it s 7:00 p.m. in arizona. do you know where senator sinema is? she s scheduledna to attend an donors retreat for her political action committee. earlier this week she attended a fund-raiser with lobbying groups that fiercely oppose the reconciliation bill. maybe it s time for the senator
this idea the constitution should be interpreted in its original meaning at a time when there was an enormous democratic deficit, where women didn t count. this is what they want. they re an organization of ideas, and they re trying to seed an idea of a limited government, a limited administrative state and very limited powers for congress. so rolling back the entire system of regulations, so abortion is part of it. but it s also about constricting government power everywhere else. and there s a marriage here i think between the sort of group of theorists, idelogs and then the grass roots action. the grass roots mobilization is what happens because of abortion, that is what gives it its fuel in this entire thing and the thing leo has so usefully married. and the thing that makes donald trump so integral in this. leonard leo and donald trump do not see eye to eye. this is marriage of convenience, exactly that.
