this is the katie phang show. we are live from miami, florida. we have lots of news to cover, questions to answer. let's get started. could he be the january six committee most important witness yet? former white house counsel pat cipollone testified for more than seven hours yesterday. he did not contradict any of the testimony that we have heard so far. we will dive into that in a minute with my guest, mary trump. plus, another mass shooting in america. another shooter who fits the profile who we keep seeing over

and over again. why is it always a young and angry man? what can be done to stop this american carnage? oh put that question to the national security. later, wealthy evangelical conservative couples were able to wine and dine supreme court justices while making comments about the issues facing the court. i have some thoughts about desperately needed reforms for the highest court in the land. all of that and more is coming up. >> there's, the latest news you might have missed. this morning, the body of shinzo abe was return to tokyo. he was shot while giving a campaign speech from one of his parties candidates yesterday. the investigation into the assassination continues today. police are saying that the detained suspect used a

homemade gun. the violence shock japan. the national police agency reported only ten shootings in all of 2021. janice is reporting. >> reporter: katie, japan is in mourning forge st. joe abby. he was assassinated in a brazen attack. this is a place where gun violence is almost unheard of. this morning, a hearse carrying his body drove seven hours from where he died to his home in tokyo. that is where his family will hold a closed funeral. the assassination was captured in chilling video. you can hear two shots. it was the second one that hit him in the neck area. he collapsed as the suspected gunman was tackled. police say that the seized they describe is a homemade shotgun. metal pipes held together with duct tape it would. they say a raid on the suspect's apartment led them to find even more improvised

firearms. investigators say that he has admitted that he wanted to kill the prime minister because of a garage. japanese media reported that he believed that the former prime minister had ties to a group that he dislike. while the motive remains unclear, the bigger question facing investigators, how could an armed man get past the security detail and get close enough to kill him? police are launching a full internal probe to see where their security plans for sure. shinzo abe in japan is a political giant. he was prominent after stepping down in 2020 for health reasons. mourners have been laying flowers, placing tv at the scene where he died. again, this is really shaking people in japan. it is a place where gun violence just does not happen. that point cannot be overstated. katie? >> thank you. that is janice mackie fray or. this morning, the highland park

community in illinois continues to grieve in the wake of the shooting on july 4th. eduardo will be the fourth victim to be laid to rest today. families said goodbye to jackie, stephen, and nicholas yesterday. the attack left seven dead and many more wounded. this includes eight year old cooper roberts. he is now paralyzed from the waist down. >> the pain is turning into action today. a rally for gun control will take place. nbc's liz maclachlan is in highland park with the latest. >> reporter: katie, good morning. so much grief here in this community. you can see this memorial behind me. there are the portraits of those seven victims. on the end is eduardo. he will be laid to rest in just a couple of hours. july 4th was his favorite holiday. he leaves behind four daughters. he leaves behind seven great guy and shoulders and 13

grandchildren. he's described as loving and caring. all of these members of the community that we have been speaking with, they say how much they miss these people. you can see the flowers, the letters. this will be a long process of grieving for this community. >> the investigation continues. for some, the anger is turning into action. there will be a gun control rally. just a month ago, hundreds of people in this community gathered asking for federal gun control action. this is the response to the uvalde and buffalo shootings. the call has not stopped. illinois, by comparison to laboring states, they have relatively strict gun laws. they say it is not enough. federal action is needed. in this particular shooting, it is unclear. some analysts alive spoken with say that the red flag laws are currently being discussed. they could have perhaps helped

prevent this. the investigation continues. police are looking into the shooter's father. he signed permission for him to be able to own a firearm back in 2019. the shooter's uncle say is that he is shot by this. here is what he has to say. >> i'm in shock, disbelief. it is very hard for me. i am very heartbroken. it is a tough time. my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone. there are the seven victims. amar all of the injuries. this is from the deepness of my heart. >> certainly shock from some of the community. there were several calls,

domestic violence disputes, and threats of violence. we need to look at the legislation. we needed to consider how tragedies like this can be prevented. katie? >> i. thanks. coming up, i'm going to speak with a former fbi special agent about america's mass shooting epidemic and the responsibilities that the parents of the shooters may have. now to the latest in the trial of wnba superstar britney griner. she pleaded guilty to drug charges in russia this week. she potentially lay the foundation for the biden administration to make a deal with russia. she still faces the sentencing phase of her trial. the next court date is set for thursday. we turn to an nbc news correspondent, megan fitzgerald. she has more. >> it has been a tough road for brittney griner. she is closing in on five months inside of a russian prison. on thursday, she wrapped up her second day of the trial.

she entered a guilty plea. her attorney is saying, look, the idea is that this will help expedite this process. the trial will conclude in august as opposed to dragging on for several months. we are seeing britney griner taking matters into her own hands she. wrote a letter to president biden to ask for help. she was candid. she says she is scared. she feels like she could be imprisoned forever. we know that president biden, alongside vice president harris, they reached out to britney griner's wife. the wife says that she feels confident that the administration is doing everything they can to try and secure britney griner's release. we are also hearing from the wife and a reverend, there are other members of the wnba ahead of the all-star weekend in chicago. we are seeing them use their platform to elevate cries for her relief. if convicted, britney griner faces up to ten years in russian prison. experts say that it is almost all but guaranteed that she will in fact be convicted.

back to you. >> thanks to megan fitzgerald. turning to the january six committee. another public hearing is just days away. the committee obtained almost eight hours of testimony from a former white house counsel, pat cipollone. he has been at the center of some of the most crucial pieces of testimony in hearing so far. here is how one committee member described his testimony. >> mr. cipollone did appear voluntarily. he answered a whole variety of questions. he did not contradict the testimony of other witnesses. i think we did lucerne a few things. they will be rolling out in the hearings to calm. >> the congresswoman made it clear that not contradicting is the same as confirming. here too can ferment discuss this is a legal analyst.

i want to springboard off of what we just heard dovey. how important is it that cipollone's testimony confirmed what we heard from other witnesses? >> cassidy hutchinson testified that passive told her that they were gonna be charged with a bunch of times. beyond this lower level staffer is the only person that cipollone mentioned this two and a hallway is unlikely. that is where the committee is seizing upon. who else, if anyone, did he tell others to? did the group include the president? if it did, that goes a long way to arguing that the president was not noticed from white house counsel. everything going on was a horrible, horrible idea. that goes to president trump in those in his circle. they know that what they were doing may have been wrong. that is why this is so

important. if he confirms what hutchinson said, if he had adds additional people to he spoke to about this, that could increase the committee's case against the former president and his cohorts. >> danny, there is two hearings that are supposed to happen next week. they are on tuesday and thursday. what are you looking for regarding tuesday's hearing? we know that it is set to focus on connections as high as the white house. this is for extremist groups like the proud boys and the oath keepers. >> three main dots to connect. we know that the capital was stormed. from there, do you make a connection to the proud boys and the oath keepers? to some degree, the doj already has. >> if you make that connection and you are the committee, the next step is from the proud boys and oath keepers. it is to president trump and his circle. it is about whether or not the committee has enough evidence to make that case in a concise and tv presentation that convinces not only the national public, what the audience that

this committee is presenting for. that is merrick garland. that is the attorney general of the united states. >> danny, earlier this week, the committee chair said that the panel could make multiple referrals of trump to the doj. we have heard this before. we have heard this for months. nothing of that nature has happened yet. as a lawyer, do you think that the committee is perhaps waiting for the end of the investigation to be able to do so? you just mentioned this a few minutes ago. with pat cipollone testifying, he may have implicated even more people. what is going on with this timeline? >> strategically, the committee may never send recommendation for the prosecution to the doj. if the doj ultimately decides to prosecute, the committee will want that to be an independent decision. the committee's mission here is to present as much evidence as they can. they need to cross their fingers and hope that the doj is giving us enough to

prosecute. if they make that recommendation, including a recommendation to prosecute the former president, if the doj does so, history will remember it possibly as this being a political prosecution. that is now at the committee wants. in a perfect world for them, the members of the committee, they want the doj to make that decision independently without them recommending it. that is the perfect situation for the committee. >> what it is not saying? i perfect should not stand in the way of good. anyways, the washington post reports that trump is considering sending a letter to steve bannon waving his claim of executive privilege. it would clear the way for steve bannon to potentially testify to the committee. what are your thoughts on this idea? >> start with your presumptions. trump does not do anything unless it is good for trump. to do this must have some benefit for trump. one of the reasons you can imagine, steve bannon may not

have anything bad to stay about trump. trump trusts ben in to testify in a way that is beneficial to trump. that might be the reason why. take a step back and realize, number one, steve bannon is not exactly an official member of the government. certainly not now. number two, president biden has already weibo claims of executive privilege. this potential waiver the privilege from a former president ageist be symbolic if it comes to that kind of decision. >> steve bannon might be hiding behind the idea that he could invoke it to justify the reason why he didn't show up and comply with that subpoena. the rug might have been pulled out from underneath steve bannon. thank you for taking your time this morning and joining us. we appreciate it. coming up, with all of this evidence and testimony piling up, donald trump may be looking for a way out of potential

criminal prosecution. could running for president again be the answer? mary trump is here. we are going to bring into her uncle's motivations. we are going to look at hints of a 2024 announcement. plus, the fact that the father of the highland park mass shooter sponsored his sons gun permit act application, that is prompting lots of questions about parental responsibility in these situations. how often does law enforcement look at the parents? i will talk to an fbi profiler and msnbc security analyst. that is coming up next. security analyst security analyst that applebee's late night. because half off is just more fun. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. are your hr processes weighing down your employees?

comcast business. powering possibilities. shooting in his country, questions about how to prevent the next one are inevitable. in the case of the highland park tragedy last weekend, some are saying that the answer may lie with the parents. a 21-year-old suspect was too young to get a gun permanent in

2019 in illinois. his father sponsor him despite previous threats to harm himself and others. he signed an affidavit to be liable for any injuries -- while enforcement this week suggest that the father may have responsibility for his son's actions. it can be difficult to prove criminal charges against a parent. in michigan, the parents were charged following their son's alleged murder of four students at his high school. they bought him a handgun for christmas. they are seeking answers for these tragedies. . the people behind these shootings are beginning to fit a certain profile. in the buffalo, eovaldi, and highland park shootings, the suspects were all males between

the ages of 18 and 21. joining me now for more as a former fbi special agent and msnbc national security and enlist, clint watts. the parents may have some responsibility here. you are fbi, or you have lad investigations into instances of mass violence. how are the role of the parents fit into an investigation like the one that is being conducted by law enforcement after the tragedy in highland park? >> thank you. there is a few things that we should know. one, we have to go through each state. it is a bit of a patchwork in this country. there is red flag laws, the culpability of parents. in each state, there are different rules. it is hard to know exactly how each come is going to come out in the trial, that is the biggest part. the bigger part, what those

thresholds that parents are responsible for when assessing their own children? how will they be held accountable for that? and most cases, you're going to look to a doctor, a forensic psychologist. you want to do some sort of assessment and come to her conclusion that a person is a threat or a harm to themselves and others. that is usually the same threshold or red flag law. if those aren't enacted, it is gonna be very difficult to go after the parents. the parents will say, well, i didn't know these things went on behind the scenes. that is what i saw. we were looking at americans being recruited into isis and al-qaeda. there were lots of these lone actors, lone shooters. they were always being connected with or tapped into. when you talk to the parents, they rarely were aware of everything that her kids were doing in the online environment. they did not know the violence

they might perpetrate. it is gonna be a very tough standard to settler in the ground. i think it is definitely happening based on the last two cases. they are both here in michigan and illinois. you are definitely going to see this unfold next six months to a year. >> clint, speaking of profiling, speaking of profiling the suspects, all of the accused gunman in the buffalo, eovaldi, and highland park shootings were male. they are between the ages of 18 and 21. this is becoming a common pattern. talk to us a little bit about how realistic it could be. talk about your own experience. how could we take those baseline information data points to find an to anticipate, stop, or predict how the next mass shooting will occur. >> okay. i have a quick note. i was not a profiler. that is a specific discipline down and -- i can tell you this. this is from all my time working counterterrorism

through the years. the profile of a mass shooter, workplace shooter, and a terrorist recruit is remarkably similar. there is one variable. it is age. workplace shooters are older. mass shooters that we see in schools, they are much younger. at the same time, the profile is very consistent. the only thing that separates them from normal -- i say normal, not normal, but what we would designate horribly as a terrorist, there is a motivation of ideology. that is the only thing that really separates them. beyond that, all the attributes are largely the same. they're very similar online patterns. these are individuals that are alone in person. they are very connected to the online environment. that is what i am worried about. it is the contagion effect. this is an algorithm that i can protect. the number of leads that you might find on any given day in this country, in pickler lee in

the online environment, there is this shooter that we saw in the 4th of july. it is in the thousands. when you pick out which one will actually move to violence, there are some indicators. these are young people. they are fickle. they might we move to violence. they might move the next day. you don't exactly know why. the other part is access to weapons. there is two parts, there is the frequency. that's what we're talking about here. how do we get in front of this? are there ways that we can do it online? i think that matters. this is a decentralized network of actors around the country and the world. we need to centralize the way we do deporting in the -- we need to protect the access to weapons. we need to deal with both parts. listen to the political aisles arguing with each other. one is focusing on one thing, one is focusing on the other. the solution is some of both. >> clint, let's switch gears to

uvalde. a texas state university report on a shooting found that an officer asked his supervisor for permission. he got no answer. they have dismissed these findings. clint, when you are investigating this type of tragic shooting, who should be held accountable for this massive failure in uvalde? >> yeah. there is really two parts. we are putting law enforcement in a very bizarre position. we say they need to react to mass shooters. that is going to be very tough for them to do. there are many law enforcement professionals. most of them are fantastic. we are asking them to make-limited judgment calls. that's what you see with this chain of command of the communication networks. people were not quite sure what to come to do.

by comes down to rehearsals and training. i have gone through the eovaldi to port. there was a massive breakdown in communication procedure. people weren't sure what to do or who is in charge. that led this to go on first line as it did. that will be a correction. some departments will do very well with it. that is based on the resourcing, the planning. i also don't think the solution is for us to think that is what team will be position in front of every school in the america. that is just not the sign of freedom. that is not what we should be striving for in this country. >> that is also not going to be realistic. clint, thank you for your time this morning. we appreciate having you here. coming up, there was no preemptive discrediting, no name-calling. in fact, there was no personal attacks from donald trump at all before pat cipollone's

january six testimony. a departure from his usual tactics. we are going to talk about how this could mean something. we'll talk about how worried her uncle was about being devolved by cipollone. that is coming up next. devolved by cipollone. devolved by cipollone. that we got iphone 13s, too. switched to verizon two minutes ago. (mom brown) ours were busted and we still got a shiny new one. (boy brown) check it out! (dad allen) so, wait. everybody gets the same great deal? (mom allen) i think that's the point.

(fisher investments) nope. we use diversified strategies to position our client's portfolios for their long-term goals. (other money manager) but you still sell investments that generate high commissions for you, right?

dictatorship, democrats only see the laws that are weapons to persecute political opponents. they let rapists and murderers go free. we have got to get away from these political witch hunts and start focusing on making america great again. >> donald trump was lashing out on democrats on the same day that the january six committee heard from what could be the most important witness yet. pat cipollone, donald trump's former white house counsel, testified behind closed doors for more than seven hours yesterday. he never once invoked the fifth amendment.

right before the testimony, trump released a statement criticizing the cooperation with the committee. interestingly, he did not attack him personally. no nicknames, no nothing. the united states solicitor general made this key point. >> donald trump lashes out when he is scared. when he is terrified, and was cipollone he is, he is trying to actually butter him up. >> joining me now it is donald trump's niece. she is the author of too much and never enough. mary, good morning. it is always good to see you. listen, by training, you are a psychologist. you are someone who knows donald trump very well. what do you think is going through his mind right now? there is an even larger amount of damning testimony that is coming out.

notably, he did not attack pat cipollone before he testified before the committee. >> yeah. good morning. i think that neil summed it up quite nicely. to say that donald is terrified is accurate. it is also an understatement. i think this might be the first time in his entire life that even he can't deny the walls that are closing in. the amount of evidence that we see coming out of these committee hearings is overwhelming. even more troubling for him is the witnesses coming forward. they are increasingly important in terms of access and their position in his administration. it is not at all surprising that he would pull his punches when it comes to pat cipollone. >> you just spoke about who

donald's legal troubles. they are really piling up. it is not like he did not earn that moniker, teflon don. let's look at this. they subpoenaed his allies in that election interference investigation. that is ongoing with a special grand jury. they ultimately may target donald trump himself. he's also said to be deposed next week. there is the new york attorney generals civil probe into his business practices. do you think that his legal troubles, after all of this time, they finally catch up with him? >> one can only hope. it would be almost unimaginable at this point if he got out of all of the legal and civil charges against him. again, you know, you said it. for decades now, he has always got away. that is the only reason i am

not confident. i'm hopeful, but not entirely confident that there will be consequences. i do believe that the two cases that you just mentioned in georgia in new york, they are the strongest cases against him. they are the cases that we'll have results more quickly than the others. >> until and unless the doj decides to take a swat at him. the new york times is also reporting that donald trump's interest in a presidential run is tied to his intensifying concerns over the committee hearings. since 1973, we all learned through the investigation. the doj has taken the position that a sitting president may be investigated but not prosecuted. do you think this is a motivated factor for your uncle to try and again in 2024? >> i think it is the motivating factor at this point. i think it is extraordinarily important that the doj call his bluff.

simply saying that he is going to run, even making it official, that should not be a reason for him not to be prosecuted or indicted. it would just be an insult to the rule of law. that does not mean that he is not going to try. donald has used to methods. he has won out the clock, he has outspent his opponent. that should not be allowed here. if on top of those two things he is able to use the excuse that he is running for office again, i think that answers the question if anyone is above the law in america. the answer would be yes. we cannot allow that to happen. i am seriously hoping that garland is keeping a close eye on things. they could be coming down on the side of the rule of law.

>> they released a new video crystallizing when they see is an inevitable face-off between your uncle and around desantis. let's take a quick look. >> ron is running against them -- later he is laughing at you. he is going against you. by the time you fight back, it will be too late. >> mary, your uncle's notoriously thin skinned. how is he going to take that? how much of a challenge does run desantis really pose for donald trump if he runs again? >> i don't think he is going to take that well. i think that the content for donald is pretty clear. maybe even to donald himself. i think that ron discern to this could be a reasonable challenger to donald in 2024.

with everything that has been happening, we can see the tide turning. support for donald running for reelection is eroding de. desantis is ascending. our best hope is that desantis challenges donald. if donald decides not to run and desantis does, donald can do everything in his power to undermine desantis. ron desantis presidency, believe it or not, it would potentially be more frightening than another trump administration. >> let the gop hunger games began. mary trump, thank you for being here. we appreciate your time. >> coming up -- >> we cannot allow an out-of-control supreme court working in conjunction with a party to take away our freedoms and autonomy. >> president biden is calling

out the supreme court as he signed an executive order to protect abortion rights. what it does and whether it goes far enough, that is coming up next. goes far enough, that is comin up next. so now... i want to thank you. i started investing with vanguard to help take care of you, than just an investor you're an owner. helping you take care of the ones you love. that's the value of ownership.

the moment. this is the moment to restore the rights have been taken away from us. this is the moment to protect our nation from an extremist agenda that is against

everything that we believe as americans. >> president biden took action after weeks of public pressure on the administration to safeguard abortion rights. for those calling for a tough response, this biden executive order go far enough? the order aims to expand access to birth control and emergency contraception. they are trying to line up pro lawyers for people who crossed state lines to get medical care. they are trying to assist states to people who offered medical care to other states patience and providers. how the administration plans to implement this is vague. there are reports from the health and human services. that is due in 30 days. the executive order comes as the fight for abortion rights continues to play out at the state level. louisiana just yesterday became the latest state to pass a trigger law. it effectively outlaw the procedure. this is just one day after mississippi's last abortion clinic closed doors. the result is an america divided into.

many are needing care. they are being forced travel hundreds of miles. today, thousands are expected to march to the white house to call on the president to codify certain reproductive rights and declare a public health emergency in response to the overturning of roe v. wade. one of the women who helped organize it all, this is the executive director joining me now. good morning. i know you have a big day ahead of you. the first thing i want to ask you, what is your reaction to the president's executive order that was announced yesterday? today's march was planned as a way to pressure the biden administration to act. it has acted. is it really enough? >> we think that it is a good first step. it is a long series of steps that needs to happen in order to have biden step into that role. we needed him at this moment to

protect abortion rights, what is left of them. we need him to reestablish a federal protection for abortion rights nationwide. >> rachel, people were pushing for biden to declare a public health emergency. take some time to explain to us why. but we're declaring this public health emergency due to help women who are seeking safe and legal abortions? >> you know, for me, the women's march works with everyday women. we are not a provider. we do not have some of the inside outside game like that. what is necessary right now is just that. we need to make the process here and what is real in states in terms of access of abortion care, it needs to be very legible. a public health emergency and government response would help to make that much clearer. we would have reports from the government agencies saying that this is what --

this is what every day people who need care look like. of the end of the day, this is too often framed as a fight between democrats and republicans. there are millions of millions of people who need abortion access as the unintended ponds of this ongoing struggle. >> i notice when i was preparing to speak to you this morning that to do today's march, participants have to be at least 18 years old. there is kind of like a minimum age requirement for that. when they are signing up, they have to agree that they're willing to risk being arrested. are you a another organizer anticipating an interaction -- >> listen, we are going to be making a call to president biden in the administration at the white house. there's gonna be a lot of people there. we are seeing arrests in places like florida. this is for folks exercising their first amendment right.

we saw someone else get arrested just last week. we want to be prepared for any eventuality. things are very escalated right now. we want to make sure that everyone knows what they are getting into when they go. we want to be responsible and safe. unfortunately, there is an extended onus on us to be safe because our opposition movement is known for their disruptive and violent tactics. it is on us to be safe, responsible, and prepare people as much as possible for whatever is to come while we are peacefully protesting today. >> rachel, i know that thousands are expected to participate in today's march. what could you share with our viewers right now if they want to get more involved? if they want to be able to express their opposition to what happened in the overturning of roe v. wade. >> because it take going to d.c. to do this march? is it something that they would

do in their own communities in backyards? >> this is something that you need an all different places. get in where you fit in. go to women's mark.com. you can learn more about our actions, our partner actions. you can look and get involved locally as well. the fight is going to be in states, in communities, and homes. you know, it is good to be at kitchen tables. it is going to be lobbying. it is going to be protesting. we are settled in for a long haul struggle. i am not going to lie. it is not going to be easy. we are prepared and ready for this moment. we are going to meet the moment with the leadership and rigor that it deserves. get in where you fit in. women's march dot com slash rage. >> i know, rachel, that this is one of many events for the summer of rage as it is being called. rachel o'leary car mona, we appreciate you being here this morning. good luck with today's march.

>> thank you so much for having me. >> after the break, another massive controversy for the supreme court that is not getting enough attention. the religious rights reportedly whining and dining conservative justices to sway their opinions. you cannot make this stuff up. my take on that is next. nnot make this stuff up. nnot make this stuff up. my take on riders! let your queries be known. yeah, hi. instead of letting passengers wrap their arms around us, could we put little handles on our jackets? -denied. -how about we all get quotes to see if we can save with america's number one motorcycle insurer? approved. cool! hey, if bryan's not gonna be snake, can i be snake? -all: no. try hypnosis... or... quit cold turkey.

kidding me?! instead, start small. with nicorette. which can lead to something big. covid-19. some people get it, and some people can get it bad. and for those who do get it bad, it may be because they have a high-risk factor - such as heart disease, diabetes, being overweight, asthma, or smoking. even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your risk of covid-19 turning severe. so, if you're at high risk and test positive -

don't wait - ask your healthcare provider right away if an authorized oral treatment is right for you. (torstein vo) when you really philosophize about it, there's only one thing you don't have enough of. time is the only truly scarce commodity. when you come to that realization, i think it's very important that you spend your time wisely. and what better way of spending time than traveling, continuing to educate ourselves and broaden our minds?

that where there is great power, there is great responsibility. there is few institutions that wield greater power than the united states supreme court. that makes the latest scandal involving some of the justice is even more concerning. it is called operation higher court. politico has some alarming details. rob thank, the former leader of the faith and action group, which is conveniently headquartered across the street from the supreme court, he left the group in 2018. before he left, shank said he recruited about 20 wealthy evangelical couples to fly to washington d.c. in order to wine and dine conservative supreme court justices clarence thomas, samuel alito, and the late anthony. they were instructed to use certain phrases to influence justices. they also steered clear of the

specifics of the cases pending before the court. for example, to talk about the importance of a child having a father and a mother, rather than engage in the particulars of a gay rights case. the goal was to create an ecosystem of support for the six conservative justices. politico is not able to get a response from any of the justices or the families. that group is now called safe and liberty. that group is part of the liberty counsel. the founder and chairman claims that he has no knowledge of the wine and dine event with the justices. apparently these dinners were not wildly known about. that is exactly the point. keep in mind, like other federal judges, the justices are currently allowed to police themselves in many circumstances. that has become clear with the mountain revelations about thomas and her quote on quote activism. justices don't have to report their meals over the personal hospitality they receive at a private home.

it does not have to be this weight. last month, the center for justice look at possible reform for the supreme court, this includes expanding the court, adding term limits, consequences for judicial misconduct, and the most important one is strengthening ethics requirements by creating a new code of judicial conduct. that sets out specific circumstances for when justices must recuse themselves. i am guessing that plenty of americans, including me, they would love a chance to have a one-on-one conversation with a justice that is making critical decisions about our personal lives. apparently that right, like so many others these days, it seems to be reserved only for the view. we will be right back. the view we will be right back. we will be right back. for yourself goes out the window. the lines that i was seeing in my forehead were getting deeper than i was used to them being. and i realized, you know, what i can focus again on myself.
