See us enough in person. That is better Book Club Member laurie halse, author of numerous books, including the awardwinning. Nning. I am Katie Phang Life from Telemundo Studios in miami, florida. Here is the week that was. What a relief it is to finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. Finally one that says they were better the last four years on the one before it most of the people who had any stock in this market would tell you about, actually. You will also notice that people leave his rallies early of exhaustion and boredom. People do not leave my rallies. We have the most incredible rallies. Donald trump was fired by 81 Million people. Let us be clear about that and clearly has had a difficult time processing that. You still do not have a plan that . I have concepts of a plan. No actual plan concept. Taylor swift telling her to her l. E. D. I voted for Kamala Harris. We are only 55 days until Election Day. It is Deja Vu in d. C. As republicans are leading us closer to yet another government shutdown. This Week House Speaker Republican Mike Johnson the following Marching Orders from his cult leader, Donald Trump attempted to call a vote on a Funding Bill tied to the save act, which would require people to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote nevermind the fact it is already a crime to register or vote as a noncitizen in federal elections. On Wednesday Johnson was forced to pull the vote as member of his own party failed to support another continuing resolution measure. J. D. Vance doubled down in an interview saying that it is in republicans best interest to threaten a government shutdown. Speaker johnson now vowing to work through the weekend to get his Due P the factors back on board but with less than three weeks less to make a deal when it comes to republicans holding a majority in the house, it looks like we are in store for more of the same. Joining me now is ayanna pressley, a member of the Oversight And Accountability to midi and the founder of the Stop Project 2025 task force. It is always so good to see you. Let us start with what is happening in d. C. It is important to all americans. Mike johnson has not seem to learn his lesson as he and other republicans prioritize the bidding of Donald Trump, our government is on the brink of being shut down. With just two weeks to go, what is the latest you are hearing in terms of what is the future for our government . More of the same. This congress under republican majority has been chaos and i would say clueless about what matters most to the american people. Project 2025 is not just a blueprint, it is a playbook. It is not something that is far off, it is something they are animating in real time every day. They want to pass a budget that includes some of the most harmful policies with project 2025. A mean harm to everyone who calls this Country Home they want to criminalize Abortion Care and tonight is our basic and fundamental freedoms, whether it is banning books, banning our bodies, denying us The Freedom to vote and The Freedom to live a life free from gun violence. We need to stop playing games with peoples lives. They want to end Social Security and medicare. They do not want to just pass a simple Funding Bill to make sure they continue to keep the government running and functional and providing both essential services. They need to stop playing with peoples lives. I would also say they make the case for exactly why democrats need to take the house back and Hakeem Jeffries needs to get the gavel so that we can do the business on behalf of the american people. I am glad you brought that up because her should be an emphasis on the Down Ballot races just as much is the oval office. Congresswoman, Donald Trump has continued to try and tie Kamala Harris to the number of migrants crossing the border. Claiming without any Proof Whatsoever that millions have been crossing, when in fact the reality is, according to secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro mayorkas, we have seen a Steep Drop by 50 and the rate of encounter at the same time is a lower than it was in 2019. We have seen Donald Trump and j. D. Vance are repeated racist comments on haitian migrants in ohio. They are here under temporary protected status. How could any Immigrant Support of Trump Vance to get . Let me start by saying what trump set on the stage but haitian migrant families is a racist life. It is a dangerous one at that. It is dehumanizing it puts patients at risk. He set it on purpose. I happen to be fortunate enough to represent the fertile Margins Diaspora in the country. I cochair the haiti caucus. They do not operate in reality. Donald Trump And J. D. Vance operate in delusion they operate in Distraction And Deflection from their dangerous and deeply unpopular policies. They would rather Traffic And Hate and racism and put people at real risk. The conventional black congress happening now with the theme from vision to victory amplifying black voices. How does it convert enthusiasm for her stark black Woman President ial candidate into turning up the black votes, including emphasizing how an Opportunity Economy impacts all americans, not just black americans. I think it Tuesday Night with an effective and sound strategy that was well executed by Vice President harris, that is one way that we make the case. And it is lifting up the receipts, if you will. When you saw the stark contrast between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, it is so clear that the stakes could not be higher and the contrast more clear. Donald trump wants to take this country back. Politics of revenge and retribution. He means harm to everyone who calls this Country Home. It was assembled by trumps friends to advance the agenda. In contrast, it is about our freedoms about our future. She wants to build that just inclusive america. How we harness that energy, we have to keep campaigning. It was a stellar Debate Performance campaigns are not won by debates alone. We are very much the underdog here. We have to organize and mobilize and vote as if lives depend on it because they do. Our freedoms and democracy depend on it. We have so much more work to continue to do. While i have you here, the month of september is national alopecia awareness month. I know this is an issue you are passionate about. Talk about the importance of sharing awareness of this autoimmune disorder. Thank you. I have been living with the autoimmune Disease Alopecia to talus for almost four mousegrid a transformation not of my choosing but i have chosen to stand in and not wear a wig because i believe im here not just to occupy space but create it. People who have experienced traumatic hair loss, whether it is from cancer or from autoimmune diseases, like lupus or the many forms of alopecia. I am grateful to my allies and my partners in this work, the national alopecia foundation. I am also grateful to colleagues like the Mass Delegation who introduced legislation with me for medically durable legs to be covered by insurance, which can be cost prohibitive for people. We are constituency of millions of people. I am proud to be a part of that community and i hope that people will learn more about alopecia and that they will support the legislation. We always say representation matters and when you embrace being able to, like you say, not only to represent but to also create space, you know, it is the inclusivity that is representative of the Democratic Party and that is part of what we are trying to make sure that all americans feel like they belong it is a pleasure and an honor to have you here. Thanks for being here today. Still to come on the Katie Phang show, supreme concern. The new polling revealing how much some disapprove of our current Supreme Court but not all of their rulings. Including the recent one on president ial immunity and what it can mean for democrats increasing calls for court reform. Vice president harris and Governor Walz Wrap Up a Whirlwind Tour for about a grams days per Donald Trump is battling down on his delusion that he won the debate and is panic wrapping up his attacks in harris on the process. We will break all of that down Coming Up next. Keep it right here on msnbc. Legendary . Honey and how do i keep my protection against covid19 up to date . With a covid shot this season, designed for recent variants. You can get your Covid19 Shot when getting your flu shot, if youre due for both, as recommended by the cdc. The fresher, the better. Ask your Healthcare Provider about getting this Seasons Covid19 Shot when getting your flu shot. The president ial debate has been a tale of two campaigns on the trail. The Harris Campaign has been Riding High and they raked in their best hole to date. 47 Million in just the 24 hours after the debate. Harris launched an enthusiastic new way forward to reject the swing states. Donald trump, on the other hand, when he has not been pretending that he won the debate has spent his time palling around with right wing extremists and conspiracy theorists. Including bring her to ground her on the anniversary of 9 11 despite the claims that it was an inside job. He is continuing to push the false claims about haitian migrants in ohio all while finding time to announce a new crypto graft. I mean business. It will launch on monday. Joining me now is daniel moody, host of the woke af daily podcast. A lot to get to. Let us start with Trump And J. D. Vance but im getting tired or not including j. D. Vance because it includes him. Their baseless claims about haitian migrants eating pets in springfield, ohio. This rhetoric has led to bomb threats, forced evacuations and closures of public schools and municipal building for two straight days. Trump out to start his Mass Deportation Plan with the haitian immigrants in ohio despite the fact that they are here in the united states illegally. How dangerous is this rhetoric . It is incredibly dangerous, katie. This is not the first time we have seen this. We have seen Donald Trump telling people on January 6th that things will be wild. We saw how that turned out. I wish that the people of springfield, ohio, the city of springfield, ohio, would think about potentially suing Donald Trump. It is actually causing harm. This is just not regular, you know, political regret. It is terrorism. We need to call it what it is. Donald trump on tuesday says these lies to 60 Million people but tuned in for the debate. Two days later, there are bomb threats. We have to be able to connect the dots that Donald Trump and j. D. Vance and the republican party, as a whole, are dangerous. Danielle, we have seen Trump Spending more time with Conspiracy Theorist Laura loomer. She is a September 11th and meyer and brought her to New York with him to a memorial ceremony. I cannot imagine anything more offensive to those that loss and suffered in any way as a result of 9 11. Take a listen to what Donald Trump said when asked about Laura Loomer. Laura is a supporter. I do not control laura. Laura has to say what she wants. She is a free spirit. I dont know, i cannot tell laura what to do. She is a strong person. She has strong opinions and i do not know what she said. That is not up to me. She is a supporter. Danielle, you are judged by the company you keep and what does it say that trump surrounds himself with these supporters like Laura Loomer . How many White Supremacist Donald Trump need to corral around or pal around with . How many times does he need to have dinner with them . Weather is nick flynn test, which is a no White Supremacist whether it is hanging out with Laura Loomer. Who has said some of the most offensive and vile things on Social Media. So birds of a Feather Flock together. You cannot tell me that all of your friends happen to be known antisemites and White Supremacist somehow you are not. We know why Laura Loomer is hanging around with Donald Trump because she wants the pain. She wants the power that comes with being associated with those circles. We should also be able to pin the things that Laura Loomer says and has said that it was really really derogatory things about the President Of The United States and what would the White House would smell like if she were to become the President Of The United States. It is obscene and these things need to be called out. You know we have not heard from . We have not heard from j. D. Vance. His wife is indian. Why is it that we have not hurt anything coming from j. D. Vance. Not a single peep him him about the type of insanity that is coming from Laura Loomer . When we did hear from j. D. Vance he was almost apologetic about his wife was not white. There are very weird things coming out of this campaign. What we know is that they do not have a path for america. As Donald Trump set on stage, he has concepts of a plan. Donald trump has been in the political sphere for how long now . Close to a decade and we are still waiting on his Health Care Plan for we are still waiting on his infrastructure bill. It makes me sad to think that j. D. Vance has biracial children and you are hearing the things that these people in your party are saying and you do not stand up for your own family. If a man cannot stand up for his own family, we think he will stand up for the rest of us . I do not think so. He is taking notes from ted cruz. Before i let you go, let us talk about the process backed of another debate happening. Donald trump is debating his own self, not going to do it. It was pathetic that he went to the Spin Room after the debate on tuesday looking for love do you think that Donald Trump actually wants another Beat Down by Kamala Harris and will subject himself to a third president ial debate . No, i do not think Donald Trump will subject himself to another debate. When i saw a Split Screen between 2060 Donald Trump in a debate and 2024 Donald Trump. There is clear deterioration that has happened i wish that the Mainstream Media would ask question about his mental acuity in the same ways that they did president joe biden. This is not the same man we have seen that came down the escalator in 2016. I think it was clear that when he is asked direct questions and given the opportunity to answer them, Book Club Member<\/a> laurie halse, author of numerous books, including the awardwinning. Nning. I am Katie Phang Life<\/a> from Telemundo Studios<\/a> in miami, florida. Here is the week that was. What a relief it is to finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

Danielle mooney, always good to see her. Thanks for being here and bring the truth. Coming up, protect and defend as trump continues to lay the groundwork for defying and denying the Election Results<\/a> when he loses. The Harris Walz Campaign<\/a> is beating up a roster of superstar to protect the integrity of the election. Mark elias joined me next on how theyre making sure that your vote will count. Ote will ct.

C . not all toothpastes whiten the same. Crest 3d white removes 100 more stains for a noticeably whiter smile. New personal best. Crest. We are 51 days from Election Day<\/a> and while it is gearing up to be quite the rattle on the ballot, Kamala Harris<\/a> is preparing for a potential Fight Post<\/a> Election Day<\/a>. Her campaign has added marc elias, a lawyer in the country to take on what she anticipates will be challenges from republicans alleging Voter Fraud<\/a> and potentially the outcome of the 2024 election itself. Are we about the Seat Hanging<\/a> chad 2. 0 . I hope not. Joining me now is the founder of Democracy Docket<\/a> and a Partner Marc<\/a> elias. Marc, you are one of the busiest men i know so im grateful for you taking the time to join us today. I wanted to start off to explain to our viewers, there is a brief Part Strategy<\/a> that republicans have deployed to subvert this years election. Walk our viewers through that. Thanks for having me. A big fan of yours. The republican plan for 2024 is first to make it harder for you to vote. If you are up there watching this, you should know that the republican party and its lawyers are in courthouses around the country trying to make it harder for you to cast your ballot and to register and for your vote to count. That is the cornerstone of their program. The second is that they want to be able to harass and intimidate voters and be able to challenge their ballot. It sounds like a lot of hyperbole. Right now the republican party and their allies are in Court Thing<\/a> they have a first Amendment Right<\/a> to harass voters and intimidate election officials and they are promoting laws and court cases to allow them to submit long spread ships spreadsheets of names and asked those people to be removed so they cannot vote. The third part of the plan that they have as we have seen with states In Georgia<\/a> is to challenge the certification process. Too essentially, after all the ballots have been cast and put a thumb on the scale and whether they certify after results or certify them on time. Or whether they empower their Election Deniers<\/a> and local office to subvert the results. The Harris Campaign<\/a> is having you oversee potential recounts of for Election Day<\/a> and why is it so important to be ready . To have the legal team ready to go, especially with her campaign . Let me say it is an honor to be part of a large team of lawyers who are working for the Vice President<\/a>. I was proud to represent Kamala Harris<\/a> in the u. S. Senate and be her General Counsel<\/a> in 2020 and to have done a similar role that i am doing now for President Biden<\/a> in the aftermath of 2020. The role of the team here and for lawyers is to make sure that every eligible voter can vote and have their Vote Count<\/a>ed. What we see by republicans is a political party that has stopped doing get out the vote. Stop saying that they need to encourage people to vote instead, Donald Trump<\/a> has told the rnc to focus on the Voter Suppression<\/a> and other tactics. There will be lawyers ensuring that the process is fair and everyone can cast their ballot. I think that is part of the essence of democracy. I will do a pitch that you did not asked me to but i will tell to go and subscribe and file the Democracy Docket<\/a> at the website with what you are doing. Not only is it informative but it also is keeping track of the Voting Cases<\/a> you noted yesterday. We had 200 Voting Cases<\/a> for this election cycle. The 200th case, this is the Milestone Case<\/a> that deals with electronic i. D. S at the university of North Carolina<\/a> that university took the time to ensure that electronic i. D. , those used by students and faculty could count for purposes of providing and verifying identity to vote. Why should americans are not at the unc or in North Carolina<\/a> care about litigation that is being brought by the rnc in that state to prevent users of electronic i. D. S to use those when they go to vote . The reason why everyone should care about this is because it puts too bad of a lie that will republicans want is just i. D. North carolina has one of the strictest i. D. Requirements in the country. The university of North Carolina<\/a> is not just some college or university. It is the Flagship University<\/a> of the state of North Carolina<\/a>. The i. D. That the unc put together is a state issued i. D. This is exactly what it is republicans claim they want. They want people to use state issued i. D. S. The university of North Carolina<\/a> issued state issued i. D. S in electronic form to faculty and students in the rnc is still stewing over that. It is not about them wanting election integrity. They do not like any that students are able to vote they think though students may vote against their interest and they are looking to disenfranchise those students. It will not work and they will lose the case. Marc, we obviously are interested in what happens in the race to the White House<\/a>. Things that are happening, i like to say democracy is local. People dealing with democracy with things that are down the street when they go to pull a permit to build a House Or Deal<\/a> with the dogcatcher. The reason why i bring this up is because you were instrumental in ensuring the amendment three in missouri, the idea of having access to reproductive freedom and having it on the ballot in november. You were instrumental in showing it got back there. We have amendment four in florida with the same idea. Why is it that your battles are not just national . Some of the battles that you are doing legally are happening with in peoples backyards in their own states . First of all let me say, it was other lawyers who brought the case in missouri. Credit to them. I do not want to take credit for your work. Your point is still taken. Most of Election Administration<\/a> is at the local level. We dont administer elections at the federal level and we do not do most of our democracy at the federal level so much takes place at the state devil, at the local level with ballot initiatives, with referenda and with the rules about how people registered to vote and how they vote and have the votes counted. If we are not paying attention to what is happening in the local courthouses or what is the local canvassing boards, in the shopping centers work people collect signatures, we are missing out on where most of democracy takes place. Marc, before we let you go we look at georgia as one of the big Battleground States<\/a> but one of the most active legal states when it comes to voter integrity. A Bench Trial<\/a> has been scheduled to occur in october dealing with the attempts by the Georgia State Election<\/a> board to create more obstacles to certifying elections. Talk about what our viewer should see and it will be broadcast we can see it and listen to it as it happens in real time, that Bench Trial<\/a>. Which is really great, by the way. Katie, i know you have been a fan of this as well. More courts should open up their proceeding so people can see what is going on. You are right, georgia is one of the most heavily litigated states along with pennsylvania, wisconsin, arizona and nevada. Georgia is part of ground zero. It is there because the republicans took over the state Election Board<\/a>. Donald trump called out three of the five members for passing a rule that is clearly aimed at trying to allow Election Deniers<\/a> at the county level, who sit on the local boards to refuse to certify elections or certify in attic elections. And that is the reason why Donald Trump<\/a> knows the names of three of the five Election Board<\/a> members and called them pit bulls. The democratic national committee, kudos to them and their lawyers, brought their lawsuit because that rule by the board is contrary to state law. I am confident that the dnc will win that case and we will have accurate election certified november In Georgia<\/a>.

New developments at Alton County<\/a> on thursday with Judge Scott Mcafee<\/a> is missing three in the Georgia Election<\/a> in different case, two against Donald Trump<\/a> in the state of georgia does not have the authority to prosecute trump for crimes rb on the States Jurisdiction<\/a> and crimes that the Federal Court<\/a> has a lot to address. Otherwise known as the supremacy clause. However, he still faces a felony charges as part of the rico case. If a family makes it out of the Appeals Court<\/a>, which has or argument scheduled for december as to whether she can remain the Prosecuting Attorney<\/a> on the case. Me now is joyce vance, former u. S. Attorney in alabama and the cohost of the hashtag sistersinlaw podcast. Joyce, let us start in the state of georgia. Let us talk about what Scott Mcafee<\/a> did. A lot of people know the decision to keep Fani Willis<\/a> is up on appeal. There is oral arguments in december in front of a georgia Appeals Court<\/a> as to whether or not mcafee made the right decision. There are couple defendants that did not join in and that is the reason why the case still perceived in front of mcafee. Can we explain in more detail why mcafee thought that some of these charges actually should be dismissed . The defendants here wanted all of these charges dismissed. They said that they could only be brought in Federal Court<\/a>. The judge looked at the charges and as to the most important one, the rico count, this conspiracy to interfere with the Vote Count<\/a> In Georgia<\/a>, he blessed that count and that it could go forward. That is the headline here. There were three charges that were dismissed. What involved Baltz Record<\/a> that had been filed. What involved the conspiracy around those records and what involved an attempt to commit that crime. That very slender slice of the pie is what the judge took out of the indictment. Most of it goes forward. Just in case you are following along, the counselor did survive not only include rico but the count in all the making of the fake electors late and delivering it to the archivist of the united states. It still allows the fake Electors Scheme<\/a> to be prosecuted In Georgia<\/a>. Let us stick with the eight d. A. Fani willis. There is some Headline Inflation<\/a> that is happening right now. Fani willis was subpoena to appear in front of a Georgia Senate Committee<\/a> to answer questions about her relationship , past tense, with nathan wade, who is no longer on the team for this case. And to address some of her concerns. She did not appear. Some of the headlines are suggesting that she, quote, skipped out or ignored the subpoena, which would be outrageous for a Law Enforcement Official<\/a> to do. Talk about why those headlines are misleading, joyce. They really are. Fani willis was not pulling a Steve Bannon<\/a>. She was not flouting the authority and ignoring subpoenas in defiance of the rule of law. Her lawyer, a former georgia governor, a lawyer who is highly esteemed, is challenging the subpoenas. But you have to understand is the political context. I live in alabama, we are next door neighbors would georgia like my home state, georgia is a republican led state. This committee that issued the subpoena to Fani Willis<\/a> is a lot like when jim Jordan Representative<\/a> in congress creates a weaponization of Government Committee<\/a> and claims that democrats are weaponizing government on the federal level and tries to pry into what prosecutors are doing. This Georgia Subpoena<\/a> is similar. It is a violation of separation of power. It is an effort by the legislative branch to peer into what a prosecutor is doing. Her lawyer has moved to squash the subpoena. She did not defy it. She is going through the legal process that youre supposed to use when you are subpoenaed and believe it is wrongful. You brought up Steve Bannon<\/a> i think i could bring up Jim Jordan<\/a> as an example too, who never complied with his subpoenas. Let us Switch Gears<\/a> and talk about alberto gonzales. He has his own fame as when he served as an Attorney General<\/a> but also as white House Counsel<\/a>. One of all people i know who served both of those roles. I posted on my social Meeting Yesterday<\/a> the following quote. As united states approaches a critical election i cannot sit quietly as Donald Trump<\/a>, the most serious threat to the role of law in a generation, returns to the White House<\/a>. Though i am a republican i decided to support Kamala Harris<\/a> for president. Joyce, let us talk about this and because of this. Not just political significance. The guy is a republican and will vote for a democrat but to have a man who is an Attorney General<\/a>, republican Attorney General<\/a> and also white House Counsel<\/a> to a republican president coming out this publicly in support of Vice President<\/a> harris. You know, we heard over the weekend when you and i were together in texas that george w. Bush was unlikely to endorse Kamala Harris<\/a>. This is one of the people who is close you can get to George Bush<\/a> without actually being george w. Bush. We have seen a number of people close to the former president come out in support. I think you are right that this is significant. This is an Attorney General<\/a> who served with the men and women of the justice department. He understands what is at stake and you have a candidate for the White House<\/a> who has all but said he would abuse the power of office to terminate multiple prosecutions against him. I find this to be compelling, how it lands on undecided voters and republican voters is an entirely different story but i think for pete in the justice department, this was an important statement to hear. Followers of your Stub Stack<\/a> saw this weekend a post about the case. That is activity done by Merrick Garland<\/a> about not all americans are aware. You noted there has been indictment by the doj of the leaders of the taran graham collective, a transnational Terrorist Group<\/a> that promotes white Supremacists Exhilaration<\/a> is them. An ideology centered on the belief that the white race is superior. Joyce, as we see Donald Trump<\/a> openly flirting with White Supremacist<\/a>s and what other Conspiracy Theories<\/a> like Laura Loomer<\/a> and nickfuentes and others. How is important is it to see they are taking prosecutions so seriously . It really matters. This is not just a group that was out in the ozone and want to be. These were people who posted online a list of targets, u. S. Center and a federal judge were among them. People they said should be attacked. They posted directions on how to do that. Because they were using Social Media<\/a> platforms, they were very dangerous. The indictment specifies three instances where people actually took their instruction and went forward with terror events. This was an all hands on Deck Event<\/a> for doj. This involved the civil rights division, the national security vision. It is a prosecution designed to send a message to people that if engage in this sort of contact, doj is looking. I think it is significant that these people may believe they can act with impunity In The Dark<\/a> corners of the dark web and not be detected by Law Enforcement<\/a> at this indictment says to the contrary, doj can see you. Doj will prosecute you. Joyce vance, my friend, i know we do not have chickens but i appreciate you being here and thanks for being here. No clock this morning. Supreme concerns.

With less than three months left in joe bidens term, it is unlikely he will achieve any meaningful Supreme Court<\/a> reform. A recent poll released by Emerson College<\/a> underscores just how unpopular the court is and why reform may not be a fleeting dream. Consider the following numbers. Only 34 of the court a positive approval rating. 60 believe that there should be an age limit to serve on the Supreme Court<\/a>. While 58 support introducing Term Limits<\/a>. And 71 believe that supreme Court Justice<\/a>s should be held to the same ethical standards as all other federal judges. Nevertheless, and despite these numbers, the united states Supreme Court<\/a> currently maintains lifetime appointments with no enforceable ethics code. Joining us now is tom rogers, the editor at large at newsweek and the founder of the nbc and of msnbc. Tom, it is good to see you here on the Katie Phang<\/a> show. An observation from this Emerson College<\/a> poll is that 54 believe that the justices reflect the politics of the president who appointed them. As we are on the eve of the most consequential election in my lifetime, how much is at stake especially if the next president could appoint two more scotus justices . Katie, great to be with you. I love how you tackle legal issues. I think part of the strong disapproval of the Courts Performance<\/a> comes from the fact that as you last pointed to at the 54 believing the court reflects the politics of the president that appoints them, that instead of the Supreme Court<\/a> being an independent Body Making Decisions<\/a> that are soundly based on a reasonable legal judgment, it has become highly politicized. You couple that with public perception that the court is highly ethics challenged and totally out of step on two of the most important social issues that the country confronts, Abortion And Gun<\/a> control. You really have a formula for seeing how a president of the united States Appointment<\/a> of justices can totally shape the politics of some of our most important issues. Tom, what i also liked about this poll is that it does deeper than what is your opinion on the Supreme Court<\/a>. It exports him the most significant opinions that have come out recently like the president ial immunity ruling. I was marveling at the Gender Divide<\/a> i saw hubert 27 of an approved of the Immunity Decision<\/a> while 44 of men gave their approval for that immunity ruling. What does that say about how women are viewing scotus and also the idea of giving so much power to one individual, who historically, has only been a man . Were seeing great Gender Divide<\/a> when it comes to perception of the courts just as we are generally politically when you look at the numbers of harris versus trump, massive Gender Divide<\/a> in terms of where support lies. While you see brought support for certain ways of changing the composition of the court, Term Limits<\/a> in particular, and limiting a supreme Court Justice<\/a> s active term to 18 years. You really see the Gender Divide<\/a> even greater when it comes to more radical ways of changing the composition of the court, namely expanding the court by four justices. There you see women very much supporting that if it would help overturn Supreme Court<\/a>s decisions on Abortion And Gun<\/a> control while men oppose an expansion of the court. Im glad you brought that up because i wanted to ask you more about that. The majority of the respondents on this poll exposed expansion to 13 justices. When you frame it like you just did, bring the question of expansion in terms of Hot Button<\/a> issues with Abortion And Gun<\/a> control, more than two thirds of democrats ended up supporting expansion of the court. Let us be clear, Term Limits<\/a> are good but Court Expansion Isnt<\/a> unless you presented through the lens of a hot Button Topic<\/a> . I think there is something to that. Reform is more popular if it is not tied to a specific issue or outcome. Certainly, you would have to read the results of broader reform for Term Limits<\/a> then for increasing the number of justices on the court. Women understand that if you are going to affect change on the abortion issue, there is really very little ability to do that by changing Term Limits<\/a>. Beckett take a full generation to change the composition of the court. The average number of years that a supreme Court Justice<\/a> used to serve from 1790 to 1970 was 15 years. From 1970 on, the average term of a justice is 26 years. It will take a long time for the composition to change. By importing four new justices Kamala Harris<\/a> won and held the senate, even if it is a 50 50 senate with walz as Vice President<\/a> , you could end up with the ability to appoint four new justices. That seems to be the only near Term Way<\/a> you could affect Supreme Court<\/a> decision. Unbelievable and i love this conversation. We will have to come back so we can continue to explore what you find from this poll and i appreciate you taking the time to join us today. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me.
