everything you did is not presidential, so to speak. to saying now the supreme court will look at how a case normally goes through to get to the supreme court. this is significant, ian. it is. i think jack smith s being very smart trying to make this move as fast as possible. you don t want a situation where like on october 20th the supreme court throws out a conviction because of some procedural rule that no one anticipated. ordinarily i advocate for the supreme court to do as little as possible. you want narrow that s not because i don t like the supreme court. that s good judging. you don t want judges to overreach, but in this case i think we want the court to give us as much guidance as possible as to how this trial is going to be run. it s an unprecedented case. right. it s a case where the stakes are enormous. the voters need to know if this man is a convicted felon when it comes time for the election and so i am hoping that the supreme court is going to ....
simple question. it is a president of the united states above the law? it should be simple, you ve heard that phrase how many times? of course we say nobody is above the law, it is why the lady justice wears a blindfold. but it s not what trump s legal team things, they ve been arguing for a long time, along the lines of what you d call maybe the nixon doctrine. if the president does it, it is not illegal. you know how that worked out for richard nixon, don t we? but how will it work out for donald trump? well, jack smith does not want to disappear out and wait to find out. he is going straight to the supreme court to decide whether trump is, in fact, protected by the presidential immunity in the election subversion case in washington, d.c.. tonight, a preliminary win of sorts, will explain why. they are saying they will fast-track at least as a pondering of whether to actually take on the request for information in a ruling. let s read the tea leaves a little bit tonig ....
and tonight there is frankly no other way to put it but america is in rough shape and joe biden, your president, he s pretty much the one person you can blame. now, our soldiers, they are under attack, biden does little to respond. cargo ships are targeted by terrorists while joe just looks the other way. the southern border has been an unmitigated disaster for 3-plus years and biden, he just pre tends that all is fine. the economy is in an inflationary nightmare but the president says it s never been better. but these are just a few of the very serious problems that the president now has to face ahead of 2024 and biden will also need to contend with a looming impeachment proceeding that has been credibly accused of public corruption, he has been and the evidence of wrong doing that is substantial although the media, as usual, just wants to cover for all things biden. now the bottom line is vice-president joe biden took official actions that benefited his son and his so ....
an extraordinary case. that s tonight, on news night. good evening, i m abby philip in new york. tonight, the special counsel big on the supreme court. how big of a bet? well, every single check and balance on all presidents might be at stake. jack smith is wagering that the justices will side with him. he is wagering that the high court will see the wisdom in answering this question sooner rather than later, is donald trump immune from prosecution? now, the special counsel rights like he s running out of time, and in a way, he is. the normal appeals process would give no guarantee that the high court would consider the immunity question before next november. now that is, i don t have to remind you, when america chooses its next president. how the court rules may reshape democracy as we know it. the justices have never said yes or no that a criminal can be criminally prosecuted for crimes they perpetrated while president, a ruling that the constitution does not ....
the texas supreme court reversing a ruling that allowed kate cox to get an emergency abortion. she had no other option to leave the state to get an abortion. she had the option, many, many women are trapped in their seats. ukrainian president zelenskyy to the white house and to capitol hill as delays for more aid are continuing in congress. the prospects of this getting done before the calendar year is up looks not good right now. the free world hesitates, that s when dictatorships celebrate. good morning, everyone. i m phil mattingly with poppy harlow in new york. we start with an extraordinary request from the special counsel in the election subversion case against donald trump. jack smith, special prosecutor, wants an answer from the supreme court, on whether the president is immune from prosecution and he wants it as soon as possible. smith went directly to the high court, specially leapfrogging what could have been a very lengthy appeals process ....
