We have been covering the story on the state of missouri where the State Government is trying aggressively to shut down the last Abortion Provider in the state and make missouri the first state in america that does not have any legal Abortion Providers. First time that happened since roe vs. Wade in 1973. Tomorrow there will be a Court Hearing in state court in missouri about whether or not that last clinic can stay open. The doctors at the clinic are fighting tooth and nail to stay open as the State Government shuts them down. The judge is due to weigh in and we will be watching it closely. That does it and we will see you again tomorrow. Its time for lawrence odonnell. I was so, so happy for you at 5 27 p. M. Today when the transcripts came into our hands
here. I thought shes got three hours. A little more than three hours with the transcripts. This is gonna be great and i was right. It was great. It was almost enough time to kaftan actor. You know what i mean . No, thats not why we
york, and both join me now. professor robinson, i wonder if you could make the case on the merits you do in your op-ed on why this is an important time to do precisely as joe biden is doing. this is a demonstration of black women excellence, in the legal profession, and especially in the judiciary. it is 150 years in the making, the first black woman lawyer was 150 years ago, and it is taken this long for black women to have the opportunity to sit on the highest court in the nation. so this is time to demonstrate the excellence that we have. one of the things that i think people don t get, maya, is that this the supreme court has always had these kinds of considerations, these demographic considerations, having to jewish justice was a very big deal, and very groundbreaking, having a catholic justice when it first happened was a big deal, and there is a catholic seat and a jewish seat. they were understood to be,
stick with our current senator. eah, when you talk to folks in democratic politics the big hope, they know it s gonna be a tough environment in the midterms, john. and that s borne of what is the case for any incumbent party in power that we see this time and time again. it s also a nation that s in midst of a third year of constant disruption. who comes out of the primary as one of the big saving grace is for democrats, they think. whether they kept someone like lack salt in the state urine which is a closely divided state. and that being a more beatable candidate and someone might think. yeah, that s absolutely right, chris. these republicans can start telling people like and dean heller, the public doesn t care that much about 2020. they care more about covid than the economy. don t worry about it just get through the primaries. but that s certainly what is
the president himself said he was angry and concerned with the rittenhouse verdict. democrats are trying essentially to undermine the very principles that we have. double jeopardy is another one. kyle rittenhouse, anybody who watched that trial and listened to the witnesses and the evidence, knows very well the jury reached a perfectly sound verdict. he was acting in self-defense. they don t like that, the democrats. they don t like the idea people acting in self-defense. what do they do? they find a way to attack him. get the justice department to investigate whether some of the civil rights were abused. the victims of kyle rittenhouse themselves, couple of them had very long criminal records. democrats are fundamentally opposed to these rights that protect americans, protect all citizens from injustice and they want to impose their own kind of
illegally, it s not about equity. it s not about justice. it s not about diversity. it s all about cementing or expanding democrats political power. in this case, new york city but also in washington, d.c. it s all about political power. it s not about justice. it s about results. this is from the bill. nothing in this chapter shall be construed so as to confer upon municipal voters the right to vote for any state or federal office or on any state or federal ballot question. in blue state america, this is where it s going. it s going to municipalities. it s going to get bigger and as the states get bluer because of the local elections, that s where this whole thing is headed. without a doubt, i think new york and some of the cities in california, they are test cases. they can try these things out. co they go over.
