There was a five-day trial. there were 15 witnesses. there were thousands of pages of documents. there were hours of video. there was extensive argument from top lawyers on all sides. there was a great deal of process. and this idea of not having a conviction is really a red herring. over 150 years courts have on eight occasions, most of them after the civil war but one of them last year, held people disqualified under the 14th amendment. not a single one was convicted of or even charged with in...

Asylum claims are going to be rejected, so its got to be a better way that we can do this work at the very beginning instead of giving a false hope, a false promise to people that will be here four, five, six years, go in front of an imgriegs judge and then be told your asylum claim is rejected. >> not to mention the date that many people have to even go before an immigration judge can be years away, some as late or as early as 2027. just for example. and you mentioned the economy and the impact...

Point that youre making. im not discounting the importance of the border. >> congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez was there back in 2019. donald trump visiting the border multiple times when he was president. and remember once even signing a portion of his beloved wall with a sharpie. and remember, then first lady melania trumps visit to texas when she was wearing that "i really dont care, do you" jacket. and we cant forget rick perry and sean hannity and ron desantis and ted cruz. weve seen a...

Now, team trump says, one, hes not an insurrectionist. they say what happened at the capitol on january 6th, the crowds breaking into the capitol, forcing lawmakers to literally run for their lives, threatening to hang the vice president of the united states, wasnt even an insurrection. quote, the colorado supreme court erred in how it described president trumps role in the events of january 6th, 2021. it was not insurrection and president trump in no way engaged in insurrection. >> we fight lik...

Running mate? i know who the democratic side will be but i have to process the rest of that this evening. marcus, back to you, though, on this point. these are states that run these elections. the supreme courts going to have to make some statement at some point if they want to resolve it. otherwise, it will have to be a very fulsome response or 49 other states are going to be lining up to figure out what is going to happen in theirs. thats just not sustainable. do you think the supreme court wi...

To do so? >> im a little surprised. the colorado republican party came in last week and appealed, and both they and we have asked the supreme court to move very, very quickly. donald trump is a little bit behind everybody else. i think its really important to have clarity and to have speed so that voters know how this issue is resolved before they have to vote. >> but you know, one of the big issues the trump team is saying is hold on, the colorado court got the wrong -- and mind you, the trial ...

And some of the names connected to epstein, well, they are big. lets discuss with cnn legal analyst joey jackson an attorney and legal affairs commentator areva martin as well. so glad to have both of you here in the new year, although not for this crazy reason. but joey, let me begin with you for a second here. former president bill clinton was mentioned in the deposition that claimed that epstein said that clinton, quote, likes them young. now, to be clear, he himself, clinton, has not been ac...

>> what do you think -- because we -- ive articulated all the differences time and time again on the campaign trail. what the media wants is they want republican candidates to just kind of smear him personally and kind of do that. thats just not how i roll. >> hold on. it is how he rolls. lets remind people for a second, he said that nikki haley cant, quote, handle basic questions. he led the charge against bud light. you remember that with dylan mulvaney and the controversy. the public feed wit...

Other candidates that have run. they distinguished those two things. for some reason, donald trump is in one place and all other candidates are judged on a different standard. >> we have seen a slight uptick in attack on trump from his primary levels. we played that down with mike pence hitting donald trump softly with election into ferrets after we sought ron desantis going after trump for being too lgbtq friendly. that is a bizarre line of attack. how are trump supporters, because i know you f...

Defend the practice of legacy admissions, part of their defense as well cultivates a base from which you can pull financial aid for other students . obviously that is jujitsu wing of the argument itself. what do you say to colleges and universities who are hiding behind this idea that this is in some ways a way today diversify their campus in a bizarrely roundabout way? >> i think those arguments are completely misguided. what we see is that elite institutions and other places, for example, oxfo...
