Expect that that is going to be on the agenda if hes reelected well, i mean, abby, it feels just banal to say that this is hypocrisy. >> i mean, were just talking seconds ago about how people that i used to work with are concerned that the biden justice department is being weaponized bite any evidence in support of that. and now their response to this, the remedy is to weaponize the justice department. i mean, thats really extraordinary. i mean, what you would hope to hear out of a republican ca...

Where you have the conservatives making this claim, you have labour, you have keir starmer this afternoon calling it a lie. so youve got conservatives saying x and labour saying y? those two things are in mutual contradiction, apparently. so journalistically, how do you report that? do you just say x and y and leave it at that? that, i think is unsatisfactory because youre not really helping our audience understand. i mean, it would be a version of impartiality, though, which is... it would argu...

Request. and since alito would be ruling on cases regarding trumps roles and convictions of people who stormed the capitol after alitos own home showed this support for at least part of that movement, there are these questions about his impartiality, questions that can be reasonably raised, which is the standard the courts new nonbinding ethics code proclaims that was adopted i should note for the first time in history in response to alitos other recent scandals like secretly taking money throug...

Turn off the lights of the court. if the court wont be serious about the question of rick rizal. and no one is saying justice alito himself flew the flag upside down. what people are saying is that you can make the inference, the reasonable person can infer this lag was flown and it can send a message and allowing it to fly over his homestead, justice alito signaled his assent to that message, which raises questions about whether or not in these important cases involving january 6th, he can be i...

Per box. i am so grateful to have your voice. i will read two lines from justice alitos letter. he sent to durbin in sheldon whitehouse and that he also sent to members of congress to. o i invite you to say that seven times. my wife is solely responsible for having flagpoles put up at our vacation home and has blown a wide variety of flies over the years. she makes her own decisions. i honor her right to do so. she is a private citizen. she possesses that same first amendment rights as every oth...

Nationalists. >> theres some of this does feel like were looking in through the tea leaves trying to find what i want. i want to move on because the key question at this point is whether or not a laid out we should stay on these two january 6 related cases, including the one about whether the president should have total immunity last fall, the supreme court adopted a code of conduct that quote, a justice should disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the justices impartiality migh...

Could be questioned. so if you look at someones house, they are political flags going up. you look at alitos behavior on the bench. it is not just that he is putting up silly flakes. he is also the most unapologetic republican in his work on the actual court. i want to be careful here. i do not think anyone should diminish their career or ambitions because of who their spouses, but when i started law school i sat down with my wife and i said, look, i am going to be a lawyer. i have certain profe...
