on this point. i am quoting here, we cannot except former president trump s claim that a president has unbounded authority to commit crimes. and we neutralize the most fundamental check on the executive power, in recognition, an implementation of election results. and going on to say, nor can we sanctioned his apparent contention that the executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote, and to have their votes count. the court throwing out trump s arguments that he should not have to go on trial, on federal election subversion charges. charges that you would expect, vowing to appeal to the supreme court. but he only has until monday to decide whether he can do that. let s talk right now with cnn analyst, norm eisen, and prosecutor, joe moreno. i m so happy that both of you are here today. first of all, we have been talking about this for the better part of a month, norm. the fact that it took this long, it s perhaps a surprising announcement.
