point former chief of staff of the department of homeland security, miles taylor is here but we start with my friend and colleague, msnbc legal correspondent, lisa rubin, she has just come out of the courtroom forest. >> the courtroom that we are in on the 15th floor here is one of the more dreary places i've ever been in a courthouse. it is woodpaneled, but it has no hearts whatsoever. there are more courts than there are anything else, stapled to the wall point the one thing that is says in this courtroom very clearly is in god we trust and get that very pedestrian dreary courtroom is where something really extraordinary happened this afternoon because judge rochon had to go through the failings of three motion letters that the defense has buried him under and most of them are about things that have already been litigated and if not litigated once they have been litigated twice so setting his rulings on things like whether or not evidence can be precluded on grounds of presidential immunity, for example. he said, and i am reading from my notes, you cannot continue to submit three motion letters asking to revisit every ruling.
