Am concerned about. the affirmative action case, who brought the case? its not -- its these organizations that were sort of designed in a lab to try to take affirmative action down. and in the student loan case, its not like students. its states that are saying they dont like the idea of helping, of giving to students in deep debt what we gave to banks. where -- the standing question is weird in both of these for me. >> thats exactly right, joy. i think a lot of what the majority wrote about the...

Fitten, who is not even a lawyer, certainly not an expert in presidential records act, when any other sober, capable lawyer who is steeped in those facts is telling him otherwise. thats not a legal defense. you cant rely on unreasonable advice. >> let me ask you this question about the january 6th piece of this. we just had -- well, let me ask you the january 6th piece. would you expect a january 6th case to also be brought at the same time, and could they be brought at the same time in theory? ...

Keep them for whatever reason. the person he was listening to instead of his lawyer who was saying you have to give it back, is a guy who is not a lawyer, even though the organization he runs is called judicial watch. he took advice from him and a range of others who told him he could legally keep the documents and should fight the justice department. trump would often cite him to others, and he told some of trumps lawyers he could keep them, even as they disagreed. my question is whether or not...

To mifepristone. as youve said, this is a drug that was approved decades ago and been safely used its the most commonly used form of medication to terminate pregnancy. and the fact that were even having this discussion is absolutely insane. this is -- just like dobbs was something we had never seen, constitutional right taken away by the supreme court, we have never had a federal judge say he knows better than the entire medical establishment including the fda about the safety and efficacy of a ...

Be covering the costs of college graduates with high paying jobs. howard: right. tim, there was a debate within the biden administration at the time that one faction said this was unconstitutional. the president made the decision go ahead anyway, but thats barely been mentioned in the coverage. >> its been mentioned in some of the coverage, and congress its been tilted too far towards the biden administration. you see people at "the washington post" still critiquing it, "the washington post" edi...

Moscow. And on this show, from the parents of one of The Americans being detained in russia, were live with them in just a moment for an interview youll not want to miss, all of it as President Bidens domestic agenda seems to pick up steam. Infrastructure and voting rights. Whats happened in the world while the eyes are fixed on geneva. And its decision day in the Supreme Court. Its on obamacare, lgbtq rights, and free speech. Any second we get word from the court, were going to break in as it h...

Long standing question for nato. if they were open, we would not have to convince the alliance for 20 days to close the skies over ukraine. >> well, i can understand president zelenskyys desire. the fact remain that ukraine is not a member of nato and that means it is not covered by article 5 which is the provision of the nato alliance which says an attack against one will be an attack against all. i also understand his continued request for nato to establish a no fly zone. natos probably correc...

This was a bedrock issue for conservatives, this standing question, and i also think it says something about chief justice roberts that he was able to hold in that majority, two trump appointees, amy coney barrett and brett kavanaugh. >> the unanimity we saw in both the asa case and the human rights case is surprising and perhaps a little deceptive. as pete suggests, the court did not reach the merits of that case. i imagine if they did reach the merits, we would see a more traditional fractioni...

You cant say as a state like texas, hey, i dont like it, let us in, lets relitigate the whole thing. >> ari, help us understand this for viewers who are non-lawyers. there are basically three pieces to this case. there was the standing question, whether texas was able to show injury here as youre talking about, there was the question of the individual mandate itself and the constitutionality, and the severability. it sound ts like its the standing issue that has hung up this particular case? >> ...

>> pete, can you help me understand something here? i know you will tell me if im wrong. i know you will put it into plain english. given the way that the justices have written this decision, is it plausible that there may be a case that comes forward on the affordable care act again that could make its way to the supreme court that would get a ruling on the merits? >> well, theoretically possible, yes. some other attack on obamacare. it has been -- theres been several challenges that have come ...
