The nine justices to withdraw from a case. it almost never happens. that is the only a way the court can function. that is the obligation to sit. paul: because you can t pull some lower court bench guy to replace now. no. right. [laughter] and we have been through this before where justice ginsburg was making clear her opposition to donald trump. there was another case in the ninth district, a judge named reinhart whose wife was involved with the american civil liberties union in a case that was being brought before the court. he did not feel he had to recuse himself. so, again, the standard to bar, to force a judge or a justice to recuse in these cases is extraordinarily high and with good reason. paul: bill, justice alito says that the flag flying were his wife s choice. he disagreed, but she has the right to free speech. i suppose anyone in a marriage
And the constitution alone. and the demand of me was even if your district wants you to do something that violates the constitution, the oath utah, for vincent from doing that and every one of these elected officials, whether it s a township supervisor, all the way up to the main candidate for president or a us senator, need to remember that their oath it s to the sanctity of the constitution. and in self-governance, when you violate people s trust in those basic institutions, it is hard to see how self-governance can survive in the long run what do you say to those people who say this was the right verdict? wrong case. we wanted the other cases to be brought forward, but it s likely that this will likely be the only trial that trump faces before the election. look i kind of agree with that. i would have liked to have seen the january 6 case or the classified documents case go first, but we don t have that choice. the fat that doesn t say just because if you want those cases to go
Branches of the same tree kind of undermining the establishment in america in american democracy are the tree think about this as a congressman, i represented 700,000 people senators represent anywhere from, i guess 1 million to whatever the biggest, whatever california s and so you have you are vested with a really an amazing responsibility. you can play the art of politics. you can compromise a little bit to benefit the party that all this is stuff that goes on, but the bottom line, when it comes to constitutional questions, when it comes to the sanctity of the system that our founding fathers put in place. you have a human nick responsibility to defend that when i took an oath, i did not take an oath to the 16th congressional district in illinois. the oath i took had nothing to do with the people i represent. its controversial to say that, but it s true my oath was to the constitution
Attorney for the district of new york. i see you guys both have notes, that s good. i have a lot of questions. first, duncan, just weigh in on the prospects of an appeal here. trump is clearly going to appeal. and appeal is 100% likely. to get to the united states supreme court, really all you need is five friends on the united states supreme court and a pathway to get there, and you have grounds for reversal. the first stop is the new york state appellate courts. i think you are likely to see a number of arguments that really go nowhere. mr. trump is going to throw his loggers under the bus for not objecting, like he has done for every other lawyer, not objecting enough during stormy daniels s testimony and letting all the salacious details come in. of course, that is the reason the prosecutors brought out that testimony in the first place, to show the power of stormy daniels s testimony. and the story that was going to come out on the heels of that access hollywood tape, he is going to argue that he could not get a fair jury pool in new york as he is so notorious here,
Deliberations by a jury of ms d&c fans selected from a district that voted what 90% for joe biden. this is a headline from the very liberal new york magazine called prosecutors got trump but they contorted the law. that article written by fake news cnn senior legal analysts even a blind squirrel gets the net. and hero quote the charges against trump are obscure and nearly entirely unprecedented. then he said no state prosecutor in new york or wyoming or anywhere has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime against anyone for anything, none ever democratic prosecutors in the state of new york city of new york including former top official the third top official of joe biden s own doj along with this radical democratic
Facilities. one district even bought aen ice cream an ice cream truck. why on earth do we think this is a good idea? pete: mandy, why on earth do we think this is a good idea? you were at the epa. is this a reflection of this obsession over climate by this administration? yeah, pete, you hit the nail on the head. this is about doing favors for pretty are call activists instead of doing what s right for america s children or for the general public health and safety of this country. this investment into clean energy buses as they call it is an absolute waste and reflective of their misplaced priorities. there are other programs and there are other technologies out there that actually do much more in terms of reducing emissions. you have propane buses that you can buy three for the price of one, you have a program called the diesel emissions reduction act that has been quite effective at reducing
Judge juanmerchan can t do that and knew that from the geng again when people say this was a rigged trial. it s maybe been an exacerbated term but i ll tell you jon really what it was, it was a d.a. and judge only the same page wanting a result. not justice in that courtroom, and i spent my entire adult life in the protection of our criminal justice system and they ve done their level best to voi it in the last year but certainly over the course of the last six weeks. jay town former district of alabama. jay, thank you. thanks, jon. jon: up next, house judiciary committee jim jordan is ordering manhattan d.a. alvin bragg and matthew colangelo to testify on capitol hill about their prosecution of former president trump. new jersey congressman jeff andrew also sits on that committee, what will they be asking bragg and colangelo? he ll tell us some answers, next.
