so help me god. so help me god. now all of the members of the court, i m pleased to welcome justice jackson to the court and to our common calling. [ applause ] an historic transition coming at the end of the most activist and frankly destructive supreme court term in more than a century. also tonight, more criminal exposure for trump and his january 6th enablers, including a potential criminal referral for witness tampering. we begin tonight with a look back at what has been one of the most consequential and life changing supreme court terms since they overturned segregation and expanded women s rights. only this court has done all of it in reverse. today was the last time we heard from them and thank god. they have successfully weakened miranda rights. kneecaped state laws. began to dismantle the separation of church and states and one in the court s final rulings this term the 6-3 majority effectively gutted the epa s authority to work on climate change. with the u
