Closed in the d. C. Republican primary. Did we mention it is almost Super Tuesday . Plus, the Vice President calls for an immediate sixweek cease fire, as a u. S. Diplomatic failure arrived by sky in gaza. And facing the facts, at What Point Will James Comer and House Republicans finally give up their Big Dreams Of Impeaching joe biden . I am ayman mohyeldin, lets do it. All right, so as we mentioned, we expect results in todays republican primary in washington d. C. , at any moment. And we will of course let you know when that happens, and what it actually means for the race. But we must begin tonight with the high drama surrounding the nations highest court. Today, in an extremely unusual announcement, the Supreme Court stated that it will issue at least one decision on monday. While we do not know which case it will be, it is strongly believe that this ruling will be on former president Donald Trumps eligibility to appear on colorados primary ballot. If you decision will almost certainly affect ongoing legal disputes in more than 30 states, with trumps eligibility to run has been challenged. And during Oral Arguments in early february, a majority of the justices expressed deep skepticism of colorados 14th Amendment case, which likely means a massive win for the former president. But they are trump Water Carrying Extents will go well beyond a matter of ballot eligibility. On wednesday, scotus dropped a bombshell, announcing that it will take up the question of whether or not donald trump has immunity for prosecution, in jack smiths January 6th Election interference case. And regardless of the fact that trouble almost certainly lose the case, this is nonetheless a to the former president. The court has effectively sanctioned trumps strategy of delay, delay, delay. Trumps legal Team Reportedly popped champagne, when they heard the news. Because not only will jack smiths case now be on hold through april 22nd, when the court will hear the Oral Arguments, but he wont be able to move forward until the court actually hands down a decision, which in fact may come as late as the end of its term in june or july. That means a possible trial would be pushed even further, back until the fall, perhaps even after election day. And, it is increasingly clear thats exactly what the court and donald trump want. Writes for the guardian the delay is of the courts own making. Jack smith first went to the Supreme Court in december, and asked the justices to quickly take up the issue, so that the trial would not be delayed. And you know what the court did, they declined to do so. Then, after the u. S. Court of appeals found a d. C. Circuit rule, that front was not immune in february, smith again urge the court to act quickly in a brief filed on february 14th. And you know what the court did . Instead, waited two weeks to announce that it would take the case. Well its now clear, its only the American People that can save american democracy. Not joe biden, not the democratic party, and while the Supreme Court could, it obviously does not want to do so. President obamas attorney general, or president eric holder, excuse me eric holder, president obamas attorney general, some of the current State Of Affairs quite well. There is no no miracle solution, no saviors. In the end, we, the American People, not any of our institutions, have to save our democracy, by voting in defense of that democracy this fall. We are the cavalry. The responsibility is hours. Joining me now, Charles Coleman, an msnbc legal analyst, host of the Charles Coleman podcast, A Civil Rights Attorney and former brooklyn prosecutor. Also joining me is christina greer, a political scientist and a moynihan public scholars fellow at ccny. It is great to have both of you with us. Charles, lets start with the Supreme Court decision that is expected to come down tomorrow. What do you think it is going to be . Or what do you think it portends for the rest of the challenges to try to keep donald trump off the ballot . And how significant of a decision is it . Well ill go in reverse, i do think came in that it is going to be a and incredibly significant decision, because it is going to put to bed whatever the questions are around the 14th Amendment challenges that donald trump is facing, in jurisdictions. I fully anticipate, quite frankly, that the Supreme Court is going to allow him to remain on the ballot. What im most curious about is its reasoning, i am going to assuming that this is the one that we are expecting tomorrow. And for what their rationale, us and why they are losing in the way that they. Are there are a number of different grounds of which they could make the decision, and im curious as to how they will. Because that could potentially result in challenges down the line, depending on how this opinion is crafted. So it still matters, not just the decision, but how the decision is presented, as to whether or not there is going to be opportunities for other cases to emerge as a result of it . Absolutely, that could be a very big thing. I think that depending on how they craft the decision, and where they find fault, you will likely see different courts, lower courts, try to maneuver around whatever cases are brought. Because this is not going to be the end of the issue. Depending on how the Supreme Court rules. But it is very clear, and one of the things that i think people need to understand, sam levine talked about it in his piece, this is something that is of the courts own doing. They have the power to delay this, they have the power to move forward. And its timing, particularly before Super Tuesday, it indicates that they understand the significance of the timing, and where this falls in the election cycle. That point cannot be overstated. Because, the Supreme Court, if you look at some of their decisions of late, they have been on a power grab. And its clear that they are not stopping, with respect to their ability to influence the outcome of this election. Christina, to charless point, this is a Supreme Court that has been on a power grab, to say the least. Our colleague and friend of the show wrote for the nation, saying that we need to stop treating this Supreme Court as a legal institution, and start treating it and covering it as the Political Institution that it is. And certainly one that it has become, in the last couple of years. Your thoughts on that assessment . Yeah, has been spot on from day one. You know, unfortunately, the attention of the framers was such that we had direct democracy when it came to congress, in direct democracy when it came to selecting our president , vis vis the electoral college. And then, we would have this hodgepodge of people who werent elected, but because we had senators who nominated them, and a president that confirmed, or the president that sort of in the senate to confirm them, not the entire congress, just the senate. There was this indirect way that we can have these quasi nonpartisan representatives, that were not elected specifically and explicitly. And that was the intent. And we are so far away from that, that if you all member in 2016, donald trump campaigned pretty explicitly about changing the, court and getting Supreme Court justices for far right christian fundamentalists. Many democrats didnt take that as seriously, as we have in the past. The courts have never been democratic strongholds in recent history. And so, we see, now we have a solid 63 court. To charless point, i am really curious to see the opinion. You know, there is the vote, and there is the opinion. And i wonder if it will be something that we saw in 2000, with bush v. Gore, where they essentially sided with, bush and they say this isnt a precedent, dont ever do it again. Its a very clear that these justices who feel as though they worked for donald trump, most likely will give him the results that he wants. But will it continue into the future for other instances that are similar . And what does that really bode for american democracy, if donald trump does get a second term, he has been very clear but what he wants to do with set a second term. But do you think, charles, just following up on that in the reading of these developments, that the Supreme Court is intentionally trying to delay the trial in the start of that trial, for donald trump. Because they know maybe in the end, they will not grant him the immunity that he seeks. But in some ways, they are kind of giving him what he wants, which is enough time to delay this, trial perhaps with the election being the ultimate getaway card . I am loathe to disagree with christina, because thats who im going to hear from her father but, in that vein, i do think that they are very much so, playing to the audience of donald trump. In the sense that they can get away with doing this under the guise of their level of autonomy, or the perception of autonomy that they enjoy as the court. I think that they understand that whatever the ruling is that they come out with regarding immunity, as well as the 14th Amendment, it will have significant implications on this election . And they know that, and i think to the point of who votes for, and who votes against it, there is also a sense of understanding that responsibility, and reveling in the. I think that there is a faction on the Supreme Court that takes a great deal of pride in knowing that we are going to be able to influence this. And yes, we are going to push it back beyond the election. Now that the guys, the pretext, if you will, is that we are doing this because we dont want to influence the election. But the reality is, the opposite is whats true. They are doing it because they do want to influence the election, and they understand that by doing it, they are going to actually influence the election, in favor of donald trump. Christina, this week, my colleague Rachel Maddow said that the Supreme Court is effectively setting up a trap for america. She suspects they will not grant trump president ial immunity, but they will wait to do so by delaying the other trials. And if trump then wins in november, he is going to fight Tooth And Nail to never leave office, because he knows if he does, he will be prosecuted. Yes, and we are not being histrionic when we lay out that scenario. I mean, donald from has been a master of delay, delay, delay. Even know is that thats how he has circumvented the law several times, is by pushing things down the road, and oftentimes the people that are suing him either run out of money, or run out of energy. This is very clear, he has said he wants to be a dictator just for a day. Ive never heard of a dictator who wanted to be a dictator just for a day. He said hes going to go after his political opponents, he said he is going to change, fundamentally, the way institutions have operated. Hes going to get rid of particular institutions, and he is going to let these far right, what he said, Republican Party is the party of maga. Its very clear and explicit, i do not understand what people are and fully hear him. I dont understand why people arent going to their family members, who just are in different, or tend to like donald trump. And really explain to them, just how far off track this man wants to get this country. This is not a perfect country, we are well aware of it. Joe biden is not a perfect president , i defied someone to find the a purse a perfect present thats ever existed in this nation. However, donald from has been very clear that he is definitely afraid of what will happen if he ever leaves office. And so, he is going to try to get into office, and never he has been very clear if that, i dont understand how theres any confusion as to what his future plans are, well beyond 2028. All right charles and christina, please stick around, i got a lot more to discuss. Because while trump is thrilled that there is another case before the justices that trump should be sweating over. Thats next. Should be swtieang over. Thats next. [street noise] ar door s] [paparazzi taking pictures] introducing, neds plaque psoriasis. Ned, ned, who are you wearing .

It is a lot of, money but not necessarily for a man who continuously boasts about his billionaire status, right . Well apparently, he is in fact feeling the squeeze, in an effort to pause the civil fraud trial on wednesday, to allow him to post only 100 Million Dollar bond, because they set securing one for the full four under and 50 Million Dollar amount was impossible. The Appellate Court judge turned him down. This comes, after trumps team filed a separate motion, urging a judge to pause the 83. 3 Million Dollar payment he owes to e. Jean carroll, for a defamation. That request was also denied, and he now has less than a week to pay. It Investigative ReporterDavid Cay Johnston shed some light on trumps efforts to pause these legally binding payments. Writing in an oped for msnbc, and trumps pleading is the latest indication that his wealth is not nearly as fast as he claims. Charles coleman, christina greer, are both back with me again. Christina, your reaction to this 12 punch trump this week, financially speaking. Because, the question is, does this push to delay these payments, David Cay Johnstons point that trumps wealth may not be what he actually says it is . Right, well we all know as new yorkers, that the wealth was never what he said it was to begin with. Several bankruptcies, he has consistently gotten loans from banks, but it was largely because he owed them so much they had no option but to sort of go along with his various schemes. His name on several buildings, which is just a leasing agreement. He doesnt own the building, he just leased his name. So its been a shell game, and a deal thats gone amok i am curious to see with the new York Attorney general tish james will do. She has been very clear that if donald trump tries to hide behind the, ill pay when i get to, it or i was very convinced that he would never pay up. She was very clear that they would start seizing assets. I think it will be a really interesting ones show intel, time to see what assets donald trump actually has. We know that his children enrich themselves quite a bit during his administration. We know that he had his hotel in washington d. C. During his administration, made a lot of money there. But is it enough to cover 450 million in damages, when he also has several lawyers suing him constantly, because he fails to pay . Thats always
