Writing in "the new york times" on march 17th the biden administrations asked the justices to overturn an appeals court decision that violated a federal law that had prohibited gun ownership subject to restraining orders from domestic violence. there are more 1 million acts of domestic violence in the united states every year and the presence of a gun in the house of a domestic abuser increases the risk of homicide sixfold. will that matter to the supreme court? do facts still matter at all? the...

That theyre not being consistent when it comes to the law, thats why dobbs was so -- one of the many ways dobbs was so offensive, it completely disregarded the idea of the precedent is set you have to have an extraordinary change in circumstances or facts in order to overturn it. they cant just overturn it because they dont like it. in heller case about the right to bear arms if the home for self-protection. they struck down laws that made people have to show that they needed it for self-protect...

Extraordinary orders for these officials to testify. i think thats much is clear. this also drives us back to the basics when it comes to an investigation. once these individuals come to testify theyre going to be driven by a very simple human motivation, which is to keep themselves out of jail. and thats ultimately how you get a lot of the testimony you need to make the case against someone like this, someone against donald trump, you need to convince his subordinates they have the option to co...

Were doing. >> miles, it seems like one of the pieces that legal analysts thought needed to be sort of a loop that needed to be closed or part of the case against trump in terms of the criminality that the congressional probe was able to establish and prove was his state of mind and his intent. it seems like this last list of witnesses, meadows, robert obrien his national security adviser, stephen miller, dan scavino, sort of his human twitter fingers, these are the closest people to him. these ...

Importance of this investigation and this prosecution of donald trump. >> i would have hoped that the first of any prosecutions of the former president would not have been either the stormy daniels matter in manhattan or frankly the classified documents from mar-a-lago. and that instead if there were to be procushions of the former president would be the by jack smith. if it happens to be the case that the stormy daniels prosecution and the classified documents investigation are the only two pro...

Needed the supreme court in order to help him win. with this effort to subvert the results of the election. that he was happen that he had three nominees on the court at that time and one of the challenges that made it to the supreme court, justice thomas did sit in on, so this is really clear to say this isnt just about spouses of supreme court justices being able to support whatever candidate they want or engage in political activity, that they can do its about disclosing it and having a conse...

Five, six years, these norms that arent laws. a norm for the supreme court that these guys -- observe ethics rules they need to have rules. >> people like senators calling for legislation ethics rules for years. why do you think thats never happened? >> nobody likes to have other people police them. the supreme court are the head of the third branch of government. theyre like gods and they dont want to have these things tying them down. they need to. they need to have term limits, too, if you as...

Bear arms in the home for self-defense. but commonsense restrictions on that right from municipalities and states to pass statutes for their skate. the current supreme court dont believe in that. theyre highly interested in drastically and dramatically expanding that second amendment well beyond any reasonable interpretation of it. were poise to see the logical extrapolation of that idea with this case thats arising out of the 5th circuit. the supreme court could presumably side with domestic ab...

Citizens? no, i wouldnt. that argument doesnt wash with me. and i mean the threat of mass kills its not just the people killed, its its impact on our society. and whats frustrating is, its the wrong legal outcome from the supreme court of the united states that heller decision is a bad outcome. i tried to explain that in the opening part of the program, and we have got a weak congress afraid to confront the gun lobby. you have heard this before. thats why i said i guess we are going to have to l...

Wheels and realize this is the price we pay for living in the united states mostly because of the enshrinement of our gun culture as the second amendment has been interpreted by the supreme court. the second amendment reads as follows a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. i think its pretty straightforward that those 27 words are not to be farced and must be read as a complete thought. immed...
