>> the fact that she's a black woman and the first person who is a black american to the lead harvard only added to their thirst to dethrone her. they're racist because you can hear and see the racism, the attacks. howard: clay travises, in a new york times op-ed claudine gay admitted she, quote, made mistakes at the hearing on anti-semitism and didn't do proper attribution in her research which is a lame euphemism for plagiarism. but then she says her opponents, that the court -- [no audio] recycled tired, racist stereotypes about black talent and temperament. >> yeah, it's not true. i don't think there's any doubt at all. look, i understand that argument because it allows her to not address what she said at the congressional hearing and also

complicated by the fact that those candidates that are second, third, fourth and fifth are very different from each other. howard: well, you're spoiling all the fun as lots of journalists head to iowa. clay, with trump now appealing those two ballot bans, maine and colorado, do these attempts to boot him, could they actually wind up helping him just like the four indictments by making it seem as if the pretty press do anything to block him? >> 100%, they help him. and i hope the supreme court, when they hear this case, is going to rule 9-0 against colorado and against maine and put this to bed. my concern is that they're going to actually rule 6-3, and then democrats are going to come out and say this is why we need to expand the court because donald trump is being protected by his own appointees. this is a radical idea, that you're going to use a civil is war era constitutional provision to try to remove a leading

>> if donald trump was an insurrectionist, he should not be allowed or able to run for office. and if he's disqualified, that isn't undemocratic. howard: that, of course, in reasons to the ballot bans and the supreme court late friday agreed e to hear the former president's appeal of the all-democratic court's decision. trump's also appealed to the courts in maine, the ruling by the democratic and highly partisan sec share of -- secretary of state. nikki haley still trying to distance herself from the uproar over herz refusal to use the word layoff slavery when asked the cause of the civil war. >> the media's the only one that has talked about this issue. >> no, that's actually not true finish. >> not one person on the ground request. i should have said slavery, i didn't do it. i immediately, the very next day, came out and said i was wrong. howard: fairly or unfairly, the press is describing the contest between haley and desantis as a battle for second place. i'm howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz."

in his impeachment trial, he wasn't convicted. justice department hasn't brought that charge, so who decides whether he has committed insurrection in me? you? if a single justice official in? michigan said otherwise. governor newsom said we're not doing that here in california. so what's being created is this untenable patchwork of rules as we approach this 2024 election, and that's why the supreme court has to get involved. and how they choose to go about it is going to be very interesting. howard: well, it's not me or you, but we do talk. [laughter] have "the new york times" or washington post editorial boards taken the stand against barring colorado and maine voters for voting for the are republican front-runner? >> i hadn't seen that, "the washington post" mantra democracy dies in darkness, yet i think everyone whether they want to say it out loud or not knows we are barreling towards the chaos. if what has happened remains the way it is. because when we remove the right

it's a little different than some of the other oaths that other officers, as defined under federal law and the constitution, take. so there is that difference. that's why the supreme court is going to have to settle that officer question. you know, when we think about it in lay terms, we think, well of course the president is an officer of the united states. but there is actually sort of extensive constitutional debate over that. and that's supreme court territory. >> speaking of the supreme court, andrew, how much pressure is the u.s. supreme court under right now to take this into consideration? >> enormous. enormous amount of pressure. the simple -- the fact that we are looking at the possibility of multiple states deciding this issue, not only differently but on different grounds, that is a conflict that the supreme court was born to resolve. inconsistency across the states and the interpretation of the constitution, the execution of federal matters, really. they absolutely must weigh in

court reviewing the matter. and i will uphold whatever the court instructs me to do, because the constitution and the rule of law are what matter. >> do you think the u.s. supreme court, madam secretary, needs to take this question up in order to clear up any ambiguity? >> we would very much welcome guidance from the u.s. supreme court. >> chris christie, as you know, he's a fierce trump critic, warns this move risks turning trump into a martyr. how do you respond to that? and do you have any concern taking trump off the ballot risks tearing the country apart? >> my duty under maine election law and the constitution and the oath i swore to the constitution is to look exclusively at the hearing and the evidence before me and make a decision based on the law. neither political considerations nor personal considerations for my safety could enter into that decision. i had a duty and obligation to follow the constitution, as do all of us who serve in

of trump's argument that the maine secretary of state, we just heard her, was politically biased against him? >> i think that's probably the least-effective argument he'll make in the courts of this proceeding. the court is unlikely to take that into great consideration. the maine secretary of state serves i think at the discretion of the governor. she was appointed in her position. most folks in those positions have political affiliations. i don't think any of those indicators undermine her decision. but it's the questions of process, the questions of what is the sort of due process that he was entitled to in this -- according to what's happened in maine, and was that standard met? that's the more substantive and potential more effective argument. >> marcus quhild recess, in his appeal trump's attorneys write this. "section 3 of the 14th amendment to the constitution does not apply to president trump. he has never served as an officer of the united states and has never taken an oath to support the constitution."

Chris Jansing Reports

about the things that they do know, the things that have been reported on publicly, in the instance of harlan crow and justice thomas. but, it is hard to ask for the things that you don't know exist. and that's partly why we're watching this senate judiciary committee or democrats from that committee move forward in trying to make the court be more transparent in things of this nature. so what they're asking for from harlan crow in this instance is everything from an itemized list of all transportation and lodging to real estate transactions to the more obvious, gifts and donations. all of those sort of run afoul of the ethics that this committee thinks the supreme court should uphold, but doesn't actually have to according to the rules that are on the books right now. on the books now. that's why the supreme court is saying they're asking for this as part of their efforts to help the court monitor itself. there are republicans on the same committee that say this is not the senate's job and that these are two separate branches of government. never the less, we are watching
