Justice aledo. I would grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant to other relief and i express no view on any other issue. The last major legal challenge to the president s election defe defeat. A defeat by his own calculation of victory in 2016, a landslide lost. It came despite rebuttal of texas which makes no more sense from their original filing. So much of this played out or plausible legal argument, whats so serious is nearly twothirds of the Republican House delegation including 75 of the leadership signed onto this. A premeditated assault, the president himself signals weeks before the election. I think this will end up in the Supreme Court. I think it is important that we have nine justices. I think it is better if you go before the election because i think this scam that the democrats are pulling, it is a scam. The scam will be before the United StatesSupreme Court. And it wont. He wanted his court with his justices to settle this. It did but not in his favor. The three justices he named to the court did not decent to tonights decision and whether they saw it or not, their decisions came shortly after the president tweeted. If the Supreme Court shows great wisdom and courage, the American People will win the most important case in history and our electoral process will be respected again. Again, no clue of anything the justices made of that and all the rest of his tweets nor what they made of this other than not wanting to hear more on the subject. For President Trump to be ahead as far as he was in these four states and for the votes to swing by as much as it did, the probability of that and one state is one and one quaddrillion. Yeah, making that up. That does not make sense. John cornyn and former judge did not see the ther ri ory of the and mit romney calling it madness. A spokesperson from president elect bidenbidens sae Court Dismissal was not a surprise. A lot to talk about starting with correspondent abby phillip and john dean. John, does the ruling mean that the President Trumps efforts overturning the election are completely over . I would think so. There are a couple of court cases not likely theyll get to the Supreme Court again. I think this is the last of the court cases. Abby, as we pointed out earlier, trump says before the election, he thought it would end up to the Supreme Court and it is important to have sign justices seated, thats why he rushed Amy Coney Barrett through. What happens now . He does not get his wish. I think as john just said is pretty much over. Even if some of these lower court cases somehow make their way to higher courts, the problem for the president is that he lost so many states that hes behind by so electoral votes that no one state is going to reverse what we are seeing here and the entire country will see on monday when the Electoral College meets. This is over, the president does not get to have this Supreme Court weigh in on this because the court knows that this kind of request to basically have the court weighs in throw out millions of vote is unprecedented and would really throw the country into incredible turmoil and not to mention the fact that there is virtually no legal basis for the claim thats being made for the suit. For the president who hates and whose criticism is calling someone a loser for him to be a oneterm president to have been a loser in this last election, got to be devastating. He claimed his investigavictory landslide victory. If you believe that, you have to believe that this is a landslide loss. Thats why all of this is happening because the president cant fathom in his mind that he may have lost something. So, this entire episode is about convincing himself and convincing his supporter that he has not lost. Hes going to continue the foreseeable future always claiming as he did recently at a Holiday Party that he won the presidency twice what he knows he did not. I said this the other night hell be talking about this everyday for the rest of his life and when he goes to every night of maralago, hes wondering around the table acting sort of emcee, hes going to be talking about being robbed or getting his teeth cleaned, hes going to talk about being robbed. This is something ivanka trump going to hear every dinner they ever have together for the rest of their lives. I think you are absolutely right, anderson. It is something he cant seem to accept and i dont think hes going to send Christmas Party invitation to the court this year. We are dealing with a man who shown throughout that he cant take any negative attention or defe defeat anything without constantly doubling down. I would be surprise when he tries to pull something off the Electoral College selected or counting the votes. There are something you can do there but he likes highly irregular. The court did not provide a vote count. Just as aledo thomas did add that statement, they would not grant any other relief, can you explain what they are saying there . Well, this is not unusual in particularly in a case like t s this. That was their belief they should have taken the case even if they did not rule favorably on it. The most disappointing thing about that brief procurement is we are at a dangerous time in our democracy. I think the court could have spent a little reputational capital and issue a brief procurement opinion, maybe five pages and say what the president is saying is not true. There is no gray injustice and they looked at it and everything is going as it should go. It is highly polarized. That would have been comforting to the millions of people who are worried of this process. I am disappointed that they did not issue a procurement of opinion. John and abby, please standby. Ma dom attorn madame, attorney general, whats your opinion . I am happy that they did the right thing. The people that voted in my state is properly represented. The fact that we have to be relieved that something ridiculous did not occur should not have occurred. It is a sad chapter in American History that we need to put behind us. That so many in the Republican Leadership have gone along with this is insane. Do you believe the president s Legal Options now are truly exhausted at least in courts or what happens when congress gathers for votes in january 6th and as john pointed out to be another story. Honestly, i make no prediction about that. What we saw happen with the state of texas having filed this case, this ludicrous ridiculous case against three others. We are done now. We have rounded the corners and wont see anymore shenanigans because that has continue to occur. Well continue to fight as vigorously as possible to ensure the person that won the president ial election is sworn into office on january 20th, thats all what we should care about. Thats what everyone should want to happen. What do you make justice aledo and justice thomass statements . It is clear of the fact no mention of how they would rule on the merit. This was a matter of whether or not it was standing. We had claimed all along that it was there was no injuries in the state of texas done by the state of michigan or other three states and of course the Supreme Court is supposed to be used as an appelate court. I cant tell you what happens behind close doors but the right thing occurs. All of those supported this frivolous and nonsensical action. Those individuals will forever have their legacies tarnished with really the stain of donald trump and his clown makeup. It is embarrassing for the country. When we ask ourselves how did other long standing democracy turned into hitocracy, now we know. Am i encouraged that they did not compromise their begty fint for a man who has none . Of course. The court is the place that we go to to ensure our other institutions is maintained. In this case, they held up. How many more challenges they could have taken or hits they could hwithstood in the event that trump spent any typicalimee white house is hard to say. When history looks back on this era in American History, well see how close we came to losing our democracy. Truly before the courts decision was released, the Trump Campaign announced they would be running more cable ads tomorrow about all this. Is that just noise at this point . You know is not just noise l only for the reasons that it erose people confidence and it decimates our democratic system of government. It does great damage to all of us as americans and so i can still take it seriously for that reason. Do i think it is going to change the election . No, not at all. I may change future elections. Poor america which once stood as a pillar of democracy around the globe. I dont know if many other countries will look upon us as they ever did previous to this. I want to bring in john dean and abby phillip back into the conversation. Do you think at this point she and other attorney generals will be targeted . I think they can. They were all business and right to the issues. After reading those briefs, the court could reached to any conclusions they reached today. This was the right decision and the Court Appeals is over for all practical purposes. Abby . Reaction and other attorney generals received by the public and President Trump . It is interesting of what trump says tonight because hes at parties hosted by the white house. Hes making comments of how he wants four more years and how the Supreme Court needs more courage and wisdom. This is a definitive blow for him. I dont expect that hes going to stop this quest. You just pointed out, anderson, they launched a new ad on national tv, that could be an audience of one on fox news. The president is not going to stop in his attempt to radicalize republicans across the country, we are seeing it in a statement from the texas gop tonight which they said perhaps states should ban together and imply that they would succeed from the union after the Supreme Courts ruling. You saw the arizona gop asked on twitter whether people would be willing to risk their lives on this cause. The president is not going to stop doing those things. I think we should expect more of the same from him. You talk about the threat of democracy and how history looks back at this and see how much democracy was in danger. Do you feel like the danger is over . To abbys point, the president continues and by all scienigns continue that hes going to try to do that whether he runs again or whether or not hes using that to raise money of foreign actors overseas and helping him take care of all his debts and legal troubles. Hes going to be a force of the Republican Party for the foreseeable future. Yeah, i think thats true and certainly i think that when it comes to primaries, who the biggest trump supporter is will still play a large role when it comes to our conventions where we have people, you know, nominated for positions like mine, secretary of state and attorney general and the michigan Supreme Court, if you are not a trump supporter i dont think you will have a chance in 2022. But, the other thing it means is this. The threat against Public Officials like myself will continue. Whether it is plots to kidnap or execute our governor or those who stand outside the house of our secretary of state and threaten her, or whether is our slate of electors who are going to be voting on monday and now needs Police Protection for what used to be a mundane a administrative event nobody paid attention to or knew about. It is a dangerous time in our state and country. We can contribute all of that to one man and thats donald trump. Attorney general dana nessel, i appreciate it. Abby phillip and john dean.

As a former governor, he likely understands that the Supreme Court does not let one state tells another state how to run their elections. Here he was talking about the case just yesterday. President trump deserves his day in court. The Supreme Court. And all i can say is god bless texas. Then came the ruling, the question which we raised before the break what his boss intends to do next. Jim acosta joins us now with that. Reporter the white house is referring us, we know Rudy Giuliani is talking to one of the conservative outlets, not fox news. Hes saying we are not finished yet according to some of the reporters coming from the mayor of new york city. Talking to a trump adviser earlier this evening, when i asked h has asked his adviser is this when the president finally given up and concede. This adviser said no way. Nobody inside the president s team of advisers thought this was going to turn out any other way. They did not think the Supreme Court would do this. Now we see what the president wants to do next and we know obviously hes not going to give it up. But hes running out of options obviously quickly. You no e the far right like to refer to these challenges as a crack. The crack has broke. The president may be out of opgs but he o options but hes not out of the opportunity to raise more money which seems to be the heart of all of this. As long as he pretends the effort and as long as he got Rudy Giuliani or whatever other alleged attorneys are willing to, you know, demean themselves. He can continue raising money from people who actually believe what the president is saying. Thats right. There is no shortage of trumps friendly lawyers wholl be clown themselves in this fashion. We seen this for four years now and well continue to do so for another couple of months. The Electoral College will meet on monday. Theyll make joe biden president elect biden officially and will be sworn in january 20th. One other date on the calendar goes into your question of fund raising is january 6th, thats when we expect House Republicans making a distinct on the white house floor. They cant do anything on the majority of the house so it is not going to go anywhere. There is a window for the president to continue this information for his campaign thank you, Scott Jennings and our Democratic State maker. Scott, are there any motives thats going to have them go forward on the trumps train. It is obvious it is happening. It will be obvious on monday when the Electoral College meets. Republicans need trump to be engaged because there are things to do. They got campaigning to do in georgia which the president already engaged in hopefully. There are work left to do even as the president prepares to leave office and the Republican Leaders know that. They want to work with him on that. They need to keep him focused on those things would help the larger effort. I dont think anyone is under any illusion that anything crazy is going to happen here obviously joe biden is going to be the next president. Everybody is pretty much dealing with that reality. Republican leaders that scott was talking about is going to last much longer even after President Trump leaves office, the race of georgia may end but all these folks want, you know, his support for their own races and they want his support for republican causes. They want his followers and afraid of him getting his followers to turn on them. It is fear. It is cowardness. Thats what it is. I understand what scott is saying, you still have until noon of january 20th to get things done. I get it. That does not explain the way the fact that they dont have the fortitude to tell this president that hes not president anymore. You have grown men and women who signed on an amicus preef whobr saying the president of the United States is overthrowing the election. Lindsey graham and Mitch Mcconnell not saying anything, we got to figure out whats happening with the minion system in georgia is not democracy. The fact is you have people who won elections, anderson, they won elections and now they are saying the election is rigged . The fact the matter is this president has a unique grasp on the Republican Party. The cowardness is not
