Middle of the pandemic pp that case comes one week after election day. Tonight dr. Anthony fauci revealing the white house is pivoting away from getting daily briefings, at Todays Supreme Court event there was no social distancing. And few masks. There you see them, hhs secretary alex azar was seen mingling without a mask, despite urging people to take coronavirus precautions seriously. Were monitoring the scene in louisville ken den where police are telling protesters out in defiance of a citywide curfew to disburse. Protesters are not letting up there well get to all of that, lets start with President Trumps rally right now in pennsylvania after he announced his Supreme Court pick. How is the Supreme Court nominee playing in this crucial swing state. Theres no doubt this crowd which is a key swing state nominating Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. The president should move ahead and nominate someone and have that person in place before the election, and when President Trump talked about Coney Barrett here tonight. It was wrought with enthusiastic cheers, take a listen. Ive just come from the rose guard ing at the white house, where i proudly nominated judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United StatesSupreme Court. Judge barrett is a brilliant legal mind and extraordinary scholar, you know that. Number one in her class. You know, they the professor, one of the most respected people, said the greatest student hes ever had. Thats pretty good, thats a little better than biden, won the you say . She should be running for president. It did not take long to dove tail into the campaign apparatus. The doors were open two hours before the president arrived. The crowd cheering in a big way to Coney Barretts nomination. 10 million in digital ads that are going to blanket social media. Theyre changing up the script that chain volunteers are using when they make phone calls to emphasize Coney Barrett and the fight she has ahead of her in the United States senate. There arent too many people who feel the coney nomination will be all that difficult. They view the fight over the Supreme Court a key part of his electoral victory in 2016, they want to remind conservative voters this time around. The fact that they can replace a liberal icon with a conservative like Amy Coney Barrett. A big part of that sales pitch to voters, particularly conservative voters who make up the trump base. Ryan nobles in middletown, pennsylvania. Thats the mood tonight on the republican side. Chuck schumer warning this evening, in his words just about every american will be hurt by judge barretts views. Justice ginsburg must be turning over in herchose seems undoing all the things that ginsburg did. I will strongly, strongly, strongly oppose this nomination. And we have this from joe biden. President trump has been trying to throw out the Affordable Care act for four years, republicans have been trying to end it for a decade. Twice the u. S. Supreme court upheld the law as constitutional. Judge Amy Coney Barrett has a track record of disagreeing with the Supreme Courts decision. She critiqued john roberts opinion upholding the law in 2012. Lets begin with ron brownstein, also with us our senior legal analyst. Good to see you this evening. Following todays announcement, this is all weve been hearing from democrats, theyre really zeroed in on health care and the future of obamacare, why do you think thats their strategy. There is a National Majority that is in favor of legal abortions. Even a state like pennsylvania despite all the cheers, theres a 56 majority in favor of legal abortion. Thats not as consistent across the battleground states. A pro choice majority as is support for the Affordable Care act. That is an issue on which democrats hold the high ground in every state. In a state like North Carolina or georgia is much more closely balanced. I think the statement from biden like the statement from harris, and like many of the others we heard. Democrats are going to focus on the threat that barrett poses the fact that a case is coming to the court a week after the election, to the aca, and as a reminder, that was the point of the speer. The single most powerful issue for democrats in the 2018 elections, promising to protect those elections in the aca. The president has made it clear one of the main reasons he wants this nominee to be confirmed, he sees the Supreme Court as playing a role. In deciding the election, should there be a contested election. Now you have democrats who are saying theyre going to push for her to recuse herself if the election outcome does end up in the Supreme Court. Do you think thats necessary . Of course, the president is assuming that the Supreme Court would be helpful to him, he misconceives what the Supreme Courts role was in bush versus gore, it wasnt about the way hes had a months Long Campaign of trying to undermine the integrity of mail in ballots or whether we can have some confidence in the way the votes are tabulated. Their role was far more specific. It was recounting certain ballots versus other ballots. I think he already misunderstands fund amtly what the role of the Supreme Court would be in that case. Its hypocritical to think were going to have nine justices now, when the last president ial election when he was the victor only had eight justices until he was able to have one go under the advisement and consent of mitch mcconnell. He already fundamentally misperceives what the role would be, having said that, his role has been about roe v. Wade as the precedent to overturn. Now hes trying to keep the precedent of bush v. Gore going. The president s message has been to set the stage to dispute the election. Hes gone to far as to say, the only way he loses is if the election is rigged. Hes refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power after the election. What do you think were in for. Hes fueling it with gasoline and throwing matches on it every day. It is possible the time between the election and inauguration could be the most fraught since abraham lincoln. The president not only does he ov overly have an overly expansive view of the Supreme Court. He doesnt understand how difficult the situation becomes with the Democrats Holding the house and maybe the house and senate. Republicans held both chambers of congress at that point. And it limited the democratic options, the capacity of if the president can go to the ultimate nuclear option, to send their own electors to washington that you cant trust the official results, the ability of democrats in the house, to say no to that, if they have the senate to say no to that, it does change the potential for the Supreme Court to wray in here. Miele try to use the court to stop the counting of ballots. That may be difficult, the fact that democrats hold the house give them much more leverage than Many Democrats are fearful of at this point as they listen to the president s warnings. This could end up in an ugly legal battle. The American People reasoning the going to be shut down in this election. Theyre going to vote and theyre not going to be denied. Im confident all the irresponsible outrageous attacks on voting will have the response it always has. Do you think hes brushing over this, maybe a little naive to think of it in that way . Maybe a political optimist instead, thinking the American People and those who are part of the administration or republican members of congress would adhere to the norms of when someone loses an election, and they vacate the position. I share bidens confidence at least in the idea of their being integrity based Voting Rights here. We did not see at any time, widespread voter fraud. We saw ballots that were mailed to uniform and overseas businesses. On the battlefield. We can get them to voters at this point in time. We saw a process by which you were able to tabulate votes on election day. Whether it be provisional ballots as is the case and other places around the country. I share the optimism that the voters can get it done, and electoralism can function. Hes speaking to hes looking to the people who say, hold on, do i believe the sort of facebook postings, do i believe that there should be some reason and cause for concern. A post election day tabulation mean a fraudulent election. It has not meant that up until now, why would it be the case now . President trump said so. That cant be enough reason to undermine all that weve seen for decades with election what you. Im glad you point that out. That is where i was getting at, which is the point that we already know his messaging is working among his supporters. We shared the report with donie. This idea that people are going to accept the results, as much as we think they should, we know the process is legitimate. There is no widespread flawed when it comes to voting. The president is working hard to sow doubt in peoples minds. It almost feels like, ron, that were living in a time of almost like an episode of the west wing, to the point that the shows creator, aaron sorkin was asked, how he would drum ties the outcome of the election, and just note, he made these comments the day before trump actually was asked about committing to a peaceful transfer of power, and the firestorm that that sparked. Heres what aaron sorkin said. If i was able to romanticize the whole thing, heres what would happen. Donald trump would do what we all assume hes going to do, not concede defeat, claim the election was rigged, the democrats cheated. However, for the First Time Since the man was sworn in, his enablers march up to the white house and say, donald, its time to go, you will not ruin this country, you will not start a civil war. If he refuses to accept the results and he tries to stay in power, what do Republican Leaders really do . I think its really unclear, there are comments this week that are very revealing. They said, there has to be a peaceful transfer of power, they didnt criticize the president , they did not sanction him for openly extorting a Foreign Government to manufacture dirt on an opponent. Theyve not raised an eyebrow for the first time in american history, hes trying to manipulate the census to benefit one party. They havent complained about the postal service, about him intervening in criminal cases, theres no history of them showing any willingness, any of them, beyond maybe mitt romney or Susan Collins voting no on the aca, really, except for that, very little willingness to constrain him in any manner, you say you can say, well, of course, this will be a bridge too far, i guess i will wait and see. I think if it is close, there is the potential for a lot of republicans going down the line with him and trying to contest and undermine the results. Right now it doesnt look like it will be close enough for that to get off the ground. There are five weeks plus away from the election. I missed you both, i havent had a chance to talk to you in a long time. Exactly. Have a good night, guys, thank you. Thank you.

It followed a rose garden ceremony this afternoon that weng the against cdc guidelines. Dr. Lena wenn is with us now. When you see these images from tonights rally or earlier from the rose garden ceremony, whats your reaction . Im very concerned, if i were to custom design a super spreader event. This is what it would look like, a lot of people coming from many parts of the country gathered together, no social distancing, not wearing masks, and in fact even flaunting this Public Health guidance. Its not just what they do during the event. These individuals are probably also not following Public Health guidance outside the event. Theyre returning home to wherever they came from, and spreading the virus to other individuals. Hold that thought about bars and indoor gatherings, im going to come back to that in a moment. I have to get your take on seeing alex azar today. He wasnt wearing a mask. He was fist bumping, in close contact with a lot of people at this event. Hes supposed to be one of the leaders of the pandemic response. What goes through your mind seeing this image . Theres the obvious, that he should be modelling the type of behavior that we expect everyone to have at this point. He represents all the agencies that fall under hhs. The cdc, the nih, all of these top scientists and Public Health officials, whats going through their minds as they watch the leader flaunt the advise theyre giving. He has a responsibility to represent that publicle th guidance to the president. This cabinet secretary in charge of health and Public Health is not following these very guidelines. The state of florida has the third highest case count. The governor is going to allow restaurants and bars to reopen, no state restrictions, and he also mentioned he wants a full Super Bowl Party by february. Is florida in a good position to take this next step . No. And lets remember where florida was just a few months ago, florida was in the position of having icus being filled. Hospitals having to divert patients to other locations and really in a crisis mode. Im glad that florida got out of the crisis mode. They should remember were heading into the winter season, when we could be seeing the confluence of covid19 and influenza, this is the time for us to be reducing these high risk situations as much as possible. Now we know that indoor bars are some of the highest risk places. It really is not going in the right direction. Its quite an irresponsible decision that Governor Desantis is making. It is the first time a high number of patients tested positive. New jersey also. That tells us we have to be on guard, covid19 is with us. This is a highly contagious disease. And these games that we made are very hard won. And so we should not be looking at opening, closing the economy as an on off switch. This was always meant to be a dial. You should be looking at what are the restrictions we need to be bringing back. Which is difficult for people to hear. We are losing still almost a thousand americans every day. And heading into cold weather where there could be far more infection coming our way. We should be doing everything we can now, wear masks, physical distance, keep up our guard. And stay strong. We have to keep at it. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you for all you do. Contact tracing revealing just how far the coronavirus can travel.
