Chris Hayes on the Trump immunity arguments: “The conservative justices seemed to be almost openly colluding with Donald Trump, reconceptualizing the president as a sort of lawless dictator and just ignoring all constitutional, textual, and historical evidence that points in the other direction.” Jamelle Bouie joins to discuss.

    Martin Luther King said: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

    I am not American but watching America from afar is like watching a never ending horror movie or being in the Twilight Zone......
  • @user-mk1us4wd9q
    Yep, so is the SCOTUS no longer a legitimate body? That's rethorical
  • To quote former United States President Theodore Roosevelt: "No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right, not asked as a favor."  "The judges who administer justice in our countries must be seen as ethical and subject to meaningful correction when it is necessary. Nothing less than the rule of law is at stake."

    The one thing I find so difficult to stomach in all of this - is the self-satisfied, smug, 'you can't touch us', expressions on these men's faces.  It says everything about how they see themselves - not an once of humility or grace in any of them. Jurors they may be, servants of the constitution, they are not.
  • @johnwilson8482
    SCOTUS better get this right, and they better do it soon. Attempting to find ways to help a political candidate IS NOT fulfilling their Oath of Duty.
  • Trump couldn’t have appointed any of them without Mitch McConnell
  • @kentpass
    This court is so short sighted. They also would be on a hit list by whomever wants them out and gone without any consequences. Watch out.
  • @user-fl4yz1vb7b
    Will you please leave our king out of this. The last king that believed in total immunity was separated from his head in 1649. Now there's a thought.
  • @obi-ron
    Who gets to put members of the Supreme Court on trial?
  • @lespaul2550
    Equal treatment under the law. So if trump doesn't have to abide by the law, the NO ONE does. EQUAL!!!
  • @user-sl5qt3sd3y
    We're supposed to be able to trust these people to do the right thing. We can't do that anymore 😢
  • @bbernard1981
    Money and corruption will destroy all that we love
  • @peppertree8244
    I can't believe it's legal to stack the SC by party in the first place. THAT needs to change. Adding more judges to balance just means paying more of them forever!
  • Everyone knew this would never happen. If he ever gets any punishment I will be shocked. Never did I expect to see this in America.
  • @samlanganke1262
    Picking judges always was the most important thing for Mitch McConnell. And we know he was the most cunning of them all.
