Congressman adam kinzinger, for example. Joining me now congresswoman stacey plaskett from the u. S. Virgin islands and congressman joaquin castro of texas. They also both served as house impeachment managers during the second impeachment trial of donald trump. So i am positive they have a lot to say. I m going to start with you congresswoman stacey plaskett because i think one thing that a lot of people are frustrated by is why does it have to be bipartisan? why do we care how many republicans are on this committee. There is no convincing these people of logic. So doesn t it make sense to just proceed with what they have? they have a quorum, and get the people s business done. What s your take? well, first, good morning to you and good morning to my colleague joaquin. It s so good to be with you both this morning. I think that we as you recall, we tried to create this into a bipartisan independent commission from the beginning, and i think what the speaker has chosen to do by naming a

all right. so we begin tonight with a question. does the republican party trust elections? it is pure and simple. in new jersey what was expected to be an easy re-election for democratic governor phil murphy turned out to be a tight race and republican candidate jack ciattarelli is refusing to concede. in the run up to the election in virginia the republican candidate glenn youngkin repeatedly called for audits of election machines. former president trump said he was ready to yell fraud if the race was even close. then on tuesday youngkin secured a slim victory in the virginia governor s race and lo and behold those results were immediately accepted. remember the calls for audits? suddenly not such an urgent concern. even trupp seemed to accept the results out of virginia. he released a statement thanking his base for showing up for youngkin. do republicans trust elections mow? it depends on whether they win or not. let s remember this. why we are asking in the first place. o
challenges to the texas law known as sr 8 effectively banning abortion after six weeks. the plaintiffs argue the law has a chilling effect on abortion providers and putting it in the hands of private citizens and deputizing them said it does that. after these many years, some geniuses came up with a way to evade the commands of that decision and the broader principle states are not in nullify federal constitutional rights and to say oh, we ve never seen this before so we can t do anything about it. i guess i just don t understand the argument. justices heard arguments on behalf of texas abortion providers and the biden administration and with respect to the abortion providers arguments, the justices seem skeptical how the law is written including anti abortion members amy coney barrett. apart from these procedual requirements you re talking about, i m wondering in a defensive posture in state court, the constitutional defense can be aired. justice kagan points out th
