Joining us now, vaughn hillyard, and brooklyn prosecutor here in new york and msnbc legal analyst, charles coleman. Vaughn, this money stuff, you and i have been talking about it. Clearly its a major problem. Bring us up to speed. Right. This is an issue here. Well, youre looking at him campaigns in ohio over the weekend. Of course the state of arizona continues to be a focus point for their political operation. Donald trump and his family and the Family Business is wholly focused on the fact that they have got to somehow come up over the next seven days with 450 million. Even whether it be in cash or whether it be in the form of an appeal bond, but what this motion here from Donald Trumps lawyer this morning, to the Appellate Court
and the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there o say does that star spangled banner yet wave o er the land of the free and the home of the brave will: protests outside the supreme court following two monumental rulings. in a 6-3 vote the high court ruled in favor of a colorado graphic designer who refused to design a custom wedding website for same-sex couples arguing at conflict with her christian faith. the majority putting her first amendment rights above the state s nondiscrimination law. today is certainly a day of victory but not just for me, for all americans. affirmed the government cannot force anyone to say something it doesn t believe. joey:the justices struck down president biden s $430 billion student loan bill. it would have allowed eligible borrowers to cancel $20,000 in debt. president biden: i think the court misinterpreted the constitution. rachel: this follows a
roe v. wade. take a look at the decision today. take a look at how it s how it s ruled on a number of issues that have been precedent for 50, 60 years sometimes. across the board, the vast majority of the american people don t agree with a lot of the decisions this court is making. that s president joe biden yesterday on msnbc, reacting to the supreme court overturning the use of affirmative action in college admissions. you know, willie, it was a fascinating interview. i have to say, though, a little concerned. the new york washington post new york post, which is morning joe s paper of record also, people come up to me and ask why. it s simple. they won more pulitzer prizes collectively than all other newspapers. look it up. look it up if you don t believe me. that s why. anyway, don t look it up. they have on the cover online, like, joe biden walking off set, right? it s like he got lost. kind of like barnicle. we ask him a question, and he walks off in
