melissa murray. once a judge law clerk. melissa, your interpretation to why the court is taking this so quickly. november 1st, very rapid indeed with them. >> well, i think we can't overlook the past couple of weeks where the court has really taken a battering in terms of public opinion. we've seen the justices head out to disclaim the idea that they're part of it. and i think that's largely why the public was outraged by the prospect of a law that is greatly unconstitutional, given the current precedence going into effect in texas and people in texas with their constitutional rights. so i think the court heeded some of those pressures. some of them certainly coming from inside. justice sotomayor's very point dissent in the last case, the last decision from september 1st rings true here. and they had to do something. obviously, they have not gone as far as some people would like to see them go in enjoining the law. but this is a very aggressive briefing schedule that sets this up on november 1st before they would take up the mississippi case that is perhaps less urgent now, given everything that's happened with texas. >> indeed. we should point out texas is six weeks, no abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, when many, many. women do not know when they're pregnant. of course, this impacts women who have less means, can't travel easily to adjacent states more than anyone else in one of the largest states. so the distance is that people has to travel even for the facilities that are available are enormous. melissa williams for this breaking news from the supreme court. we'll be seeing a lot more about this throughout the day on msnbc. >>> and back here in washington, senator joe manchin certainly frustrating some of his democrats if not the president, with the key biden priorities but how is it playing in west virginia? there the senator and former governor have an unique hold on his constituents including a huge number of trump supporters. joining us now, cal perry. what are you hear from this constitt wants? >> reporter: i think those numbers are central to understanding joe manchin. this is a state that went for former president donald trump by 70%. as you said, joe manchin holding on to a narrow victory. he is a institution here. people seem to trust the process so that is a fine law. we had a chance to speak to one democratic member about the west virginia house about this time line. take a listen. so, joe manchin has a balancing act, right he's the head of the democratic party in west vir

melissa murray and professor of law at nyu. melissa, welcome. let's get into this. does the committee really have the power to force trump's allies to testify? if so, how would they go about it? could they file criminal complaints against them? >> this idea of criminal referrals suggest they will be referring this to some kind of prosecutory group. it's unclear whether congress can do that. typically, it's one agency may do to another. if a state would refer someone to the doj or other federal authority for a criminal referral. unclear if congress can do that. we haven't had that many cases like that. one of the things that they can do to entice individuals to be cooperative is to provide them with some kind of immunity, whether broad or more limited immunity to secure their testimony. >> last week, the committee subpoenaed four trump allies. trump vowed to use executive privilege to stop them from testifying. can he do that? the definition of executive privilege, does it extend past a president being in office? does it extend to his former colleagues like that? >> we are going to find out. there's a letter that is written from one agency to the department of archives. the archivist has said in the letter it outlines the idea that the biden administration has the last word on that. the sitting president is the one who has the highest interest in the idea of executive privilege. the biden administration said they will sit back and let this play out. this is a broad question. it's one that may actually get back before the supreme court. does the idea of executive privilege, which allows individuals in the executive branch to share their opinions with other members of the branch, with candor, would that be compromised if you allow it to go so far as to permit a sitting president to invoke it? >> i'm just going to pick up, you said a sitting president. you think there's nuance between a sitting president and a former president, that's where there could be the discrepancy? >> we have never had a situation like this, like we never had a presidency like the trump presidency. >> right. >> this idea of whether a former president can invoke this privilege at a time when another president is in office is an open one. the question of how far that privilege goes i think raises questions about how far does the current president want it? obviously, it will be an issue for president biden going forward, how far this privilege extends and whether it's limited. i think the administration is saying that, it's not going to get in the way of this, but neither is it going to sit back and really defend the former president's right to have this information protected. >> let's get to the supreme court. it's set to reconvene tomorrow. they will take on a number of high profile cases. you have justice thomas speaking out about making decisions based on politics, saying, they think you are for this or for that, they think you become like a politician, that's a problem. you will jeopardize any faith in the legal institutions. you are a former law clerk to sonia sotomayor. how do you interpret this? >> they are trying to disclaim the idea that members of the supreme court are influenced by politics. i think that's because i think given all of the things that we have seen, certainly over the course of last term, but more recently in the last couple of weeks, there are a number of members of the public who think that the court is ideologically imbalanced and captured by one wing of the american political spectrum. i think they are out in force because the lady doth protest too much. the polls have suggested this. there were two done in the last couple of weeks that suggest the court's public approval rating is at its lowest rate in the entire time that the polls have been asking people about the polls. the court has taken a hit in its legitimacy because of its actions on the texas abortion case. what we see now are these justices out in force trying to tell us that the court is actually above politics. i'm not sure every american believes it. >> in part, do you think they may not believe it is because the former president himself was the one who would call out by name justices he appointed who didn't rule in the way that he wanted them to? hasn't he done a lot to make the court politicized? >> i think certainly the former president's remarks about his own judges that he put on the court are part of it. i think it's a larger political problem where you had vacancies go unfilled so members of the senate can wait to fill them when there's a new republican president in power. we have seen seats being filled expeditiously in order to prevent them being filled by a democratic president. i think there are a lot of things that go into the public's feeling the court has become politicized. >> melissa very good to get your insights. thank you. >>> the new numbers behind a warning from the cdc for expectant mothers. they try to convince them to get vaccinated. has so much new it didn't fit in our last ad. like the new app with customization, curbside pickup and delivery. there's so much new, we don't even have time to show you who's holding this phone. bet you don't treat brady this way. come on, man! you clearly haven't seen the other ads. it's the eat fresh refresh™ at subway®. i've been telling everyone... you clearly the secret to great teeth is having healthy gums. crest advanced gum restore. detoxifies below the gumline... and restores by helping heal gums in as little as 7 days. crest. the #1 toothpaste brand in america. >>> new hope today in the coronavirus pandemic. 60% is vaccinated. new cases have fallen by 25%, indicating the delta variant surge may have peaked. dr. fauci says this morning, we are not in the clear yet. >> we certainly are turning the corner on this parti

melissa lee with us now from the nasdaq melissa, a surge in problems because of an ease of access. >> absolutely, shep. it's just like having macau, las vegas and wall street all wrapped into one on your phone in your pocket 24/7 access. no longer do you have to drive to a casino, exchange money for chips or wait for that money to hit your bank account, your broker's account in order to trade a stock. it is all instantaneous. that ability to do it whenever wherever opens the door to addiction. as dr. fong pointed out, the lines are getting blurred with the gamification of these sites, both gambling as well as online investing. in fact, he says that the physiological reaction to winning a jackpot or winning a bet is the same as seeing the green arrows on your screen when you place a winning trade. so the body reacts the same way. it's the same adrenaline rush, it's the same feeling. >> what role, melissau find social media plays, particularly when it comes to investing? >> there is a whole universe, shep, of social media influencers out there who have millions of followers. the difference between these people on youtube or tiktok or instagram and the ones on cnbc, is there aren't any licenses involved, you don't know what the financial incentives are and yet there are millions of people following them and every word they say, whether it be invest in this stock, invest in this crypto and we spoke to a marketing professor at nyu and he said, look, you see people who look like you and they have glamorous lives. you want that, you follow their advice. >> melissa lee, looking forward to it. the documentary premieres tonight right after this news hour "generation gamble," 8:00 eastern, cnbc. >>> 30 hours, 5,000 photos all to make this one image happen a national geographic photographer in his own words using his camera to capture the devastation of covid-19. >>> and if you have more than $6

melissa bell recently returned and is following this. she joins us live. good morning to you, melissa. what more do we know about this gang, 400 mawozo? >> it is one of the gangs you've been hearing so involved in the huge surge. before this there was 629 kidnappings since january. this is a scourge in daily lives of patience. there's a 300% rise in kidnappings since the month of july. that was the month the haitian president was killed in his own bedroom. one interesting parallel to be made. with the kidnapping taking place back in april. a group of french missionaries kidnapped on april 11th and released at the end of the month. they praised the catholic church to try and compensate for the lack of security. it was that very kidnapping that led to such outrage. we expect a strike and demonstration on the streets of port-au-prince. >> the authorities and the christian aid ministry, do they know the whereabouts of these 17 missionaries at all? >> reporter: for the time being, no word on where they might be. all we noah cording to the security force as you mentioned is the idea of the crew that is apparently behind the kidnappings. from the time being, we have no idea where they are. when diplomatic pressure was brought to bear and the catholic church got involved, that led to their release. >> melissa bell. thank you very much. >>> while officials in haiti are in touch with canadian authorities and the u.s. state department. they are sending a mission to locate that for you. >> reporter: a christian aid organization based in ohio confirming there were 16 americans and one canadiens. 17 in total missionaries abducted by a gang over the weekend. they were kidnapped leaving the orphanage. the u.s. government doesn't know the current location of the americans who have been kidnapped. they are working around the clock. state department officials, fbi officials to figure out where they are and how to secure their release. officially the state department said they are away wear of the details not going further. they say do not travel. that is for all-americans. they suggest not to travel to haiti because of kidnappings. kit napgs in haiti have been on the rise in the last few months. since july they have risen 300%. that doesn't include this latest development over the weekend with these

melissa, calling from kokomo, indiana. melissa, good morning. caller: good morning, and happy sunday, jesse. my views have not changed at all. i have been pro-vaccine, pro social distancing, pro masking this entire time. in fact, i would probably be on the more hard-core side of mandating a lot earlier. however, it has not gotten us very far. host: now, melissa, you say you have been on the pro vaccine, pro-masking side. are you also pro-mandate? do you think it should be required for everyone or for public service officials like health officials and police and teachers? caller: oh, absolutely. i also believe it should be allowed to be accessible by our grocery workers, the people who are out there making a living and don't have the ways in means -- the ways and means. they might not even have the knowledge or wherewithal to even attain this, but currently, it is not working. when people are left to their own demise, their own choice, people suffer. we should not have to be wearing masks in 2022. host: let's go to mike, calling from norwalk, ohio. good morning. caller: i am just stoned with all these comments. you know -- i am just stunned with all these comments. i am a veteran and i have been inoculated for everything and i refuse to get the shot. do you know why? because biden and crew are allowing up to 3 million people to walk across th

melissa murray and juanita tolliver. thank you for joining us on "the beat." melissa, i'll start with this. i'm fascinated. i'm not a lawyer. i don't even play one on tv. i'm fascinated by this idea that donald trump can sue joe biden and congress to prevent them from getting access to documents about things did he as president. am i missing something here? you would think that anybody would have access to that information. >> you would think that anyone would have access tom information but again, because it occurred while he was president, it remains part of the office of the presidency and those documents have been sent to the national archives. therefore, it fell to the white house counsel and the biden administration to determine whether or not the biden administration would invoke executive privilege as to those documents coming from the presidency itself. so this is, i think, not about trump or biden per se but the whole question of the office of the presidency. generally, in thinking about that office, it is likely that someone in the president's position would secure executive privilege [ inaudible ] for his own administration. as she noted in her letter, the situation on january 6th was so unusual, so unorthodox and unprecedented that the biden administration did not feel it was necessary to invoke executive privilege as to those documents. although they reserve the right to do so on a case by case basis in the future. >> so juanita, this strikes me here, from a political standpoint, where does the rest of the political party stand on this kind of lawsuit? are they going outside? good for them strategically to say yes, we want donald trump to sue congress and we want donald trump to sue the administration? or is this something where they want to back off. let the former president do what he needs to do because they're more concerned about being obstruction. is in congress. i'm wondering if this is a ticking time bomb that doesn't make sense for the political party to touch. >> it actually doesn't make sense. we've seen to it this behavior leading up to this point with the select committee. remember the gop committee helped negotiate the terms of a commission which they then undercut. so the gop is working overtime to not even get to this point. as they failed that effort, now absolutely you can expect radio silence from the gop on this and let, as they step back and let trump do his worst. of course they don't want any of his energy directed at them in congress so they'll wait to see what trump does and wait to see what the courts decide. fully expect the gop to be silent until there is a court ruling. they want no part of it. again, they worked to obstruct not only every other legislative activity in congress but also this investigation. that could point to them being implicated in these call logs or visitor logs or social media dm's in the request for information. so hands off for the gop at this point. >> as she alluded to, treason goes down. i want to play this from dirk durbin who is talking about not only how important this investigation is, but how dangerous it is to ignore subpoenas from congress. >> i would suggest modestly, follow law instead of the ratings of this former president. he doesn't have the power to pardon you anymore and probably i hope never will again. >> so that is the thing. he's saying very clearly. i know you thought that he was your patron before. but he's no longer in power. if you don't show up for a subpoena, what are some of the consequences that these individuals could face if they decide, hey, i'm not going to listen to congress. >> basically addiction durbin is asking, is this your king? and they are saying no. there are some serious consequences. they've already indicated they could be held in criminal contempt of congress. that would mean a referral to the department of justice for chags going forward. it all reflects how far we've come from the norm over the four years of the trump administration. typically when congress issued subpoenas, there would be a kind of negotiation between the different branches, the members of the branchs about how much would be forth coming, what the scope of the subpoena and the subpoena testimony would be. because the trump administration so frequently stonewalled congress, we actually got to the point where there was no negotiation. everything became a legal battle and we're at the kind of stalemate we are now where we're thinking people being in contempt. congress because we can't reach some kind of negotiated compromise. >> and this is the part about this we always have to put in layman's terms. you're not supposed to ignore congress. you can come back in. but your average person in america is screaming. they're throwing chewing gum and popcorn at the screen. why can't they be dragged in? why haven't we held more people accountable? what will it look like the your average voter if three, four, five months from now they're still stonewalling subpoenas? doesn't it make them look feckless and i tent? >> not only the biden administration but the very people whose lives were put at risk during that attack, right? this is the third time that democrats would have led efforts to hold trump and his cronies accountable for their efforts to undermine our government, the democracy, and overturn an election. if democrats are 0-3 going into the mid-terms, you're pitch to voters can't be, well, we tried, right? you have to deliver results. like every other thing that happens in congress. voters don't care until you deliver results that they can feel impact of. and nothing would be better than elections in the future. so delivering on this mandate is definitely something, it sounds like chairman thompson is not taking for granted as melissa pointed out. it is interesting criminal contempt or civil contempt as punishment for people who try circumvent these subpoenas. it sounds like he's using every tool available to compel these witnesses to cooperate and that is something that voters will pay attention to and appreciate. >> we would home so. thank you so much for joining us to start off on "the beat." juanita, please stay with me. trump's 2024 flirtation is rattling the gop. he's heading back to iowa tomorrow. a rally at the state fair grounds. any stop in iowa is noticed. he's not just going for the freeze dried butter corn at the state fair. his super pac has an odd new slogan. make america great again, again. not a typo. with republican hopefuls afraid to cross the twice impeached retiree. and trump is already throwing shade. >> a republican like ron desantis in the primaries, what would it take for you to beat him? >> number one, i don't think i will face him. i don't see that, if i did it. i don't see that. i think

melissa, calling from kokomo, indiana. melissa, good morning. caller: good morning, and happy sunday, jesse. my views have not changed at all. i have been pro-vaccine, pro social distancing, pro masking this entire time. in fact, i would probably be on the more hard-core side of mandating a lot earlier. however, it has not gotten us very far. host: now, melissa, you say you have been on the pro vaccine, pro-masking side. are you also pro-mandate? do you think it should be required for everyone or for public service officials like health officials and police and teachers? caller: oh, absolutely. i also believe it should be allowed to be accessible by our grocery workers, the people who are out there making a living and don't have the ways in means -- the ways and means. they might not even have the knowledge or wherewithal to even attain this, but currently, it is not working. when people are left to their own demise, their own choice, people suffer. we should not have to be wearing masks in 2022. host: let's go to mike, calling from norwalk, ohio. good morning. caller: i am just stoned with all these comments. you know -- i am just stunned with all these comments. i am a veteran and i have been inoculated for everything and i refuse to get the shot. do you know why? because biden and crew are allowing up to 3 million people to walk across th

melissa jones is joining me now. she is director of public history at mississippi college. melissa, welcome. you know, watching you get choked up there, these topics of race and heritage, they provoke really strong emotions, and for you it goes back to childhood. can you share a bit of what you were taught as a child and when you became aware that it was racist, and then what made you decide you wanted to change people's attitudes? >> sure, so the n word was used quite regularly in my home, and i remember first noticing -- when i went to grade school. my very best friend from the get-go in kindergarten was an african-american girl, and i cherished that friendship but didn't understand why we could not go and play at each other's homes, so that's the beginning of my evolution. >> yeah, boy, you know, a mom of a couple of kids to have that, i know, with the play dates were like and how that would have been confusing for a child. let's talk about the film in which you discuss your effort to acknowledge the clinton massacre. that was in september of 1875. that's when black americans were killed for attending a political rally. what went through your mind? what compelled you to think, my gosh, everyone should know about this? >> it was actually when i discovered a missing historical marker. there was a marker dedicated to the city of clinton put up in the '40s, one of the first historical markers ever put up in the state, and actually, part of that marker acknowledged the clinton riot. it also went missing sometime in the '80s or early '90s, and i just always wondered why it was never put back up or what happened to it, so that was the impetus. >> and we're seeing a picture of it. where is it now? do you know where that marker is? i mean, has it been restored? >> the original clinton city marker was never restored. we have put up two new markers dedicated solely to the clinton massacre, and you're looking at the green one is a state historical marker, commissioned by the department of archives and history for the state of mississippi. it was put up in 2015 or dedicated in 2015. unfortunately, it has been knocked down twice accidentally based on where it is, it is down right now. but a new marker that you see, the darker marker that's the mississippi freedom trail marker is dedicated to the clinton massacre and was just put up at a different location along the highway. >> yeah, you know, as an educator, melissaver how history should be taught in schools. let's play some of what pulitzer prize author isabel wilson told my colleague lawrence o'donnell. take a listen. >> in most wars, it is the victors who write the story. it's the victors who erect the monuments to their victory, and the civil war in this country, in our country, it was actually those who were defeated who ended up erecting monuments to themselves. >> you know, point well taken there. one does not often see monuments for those who lost a war. does that serve to challenge the concept of defeat? what is the most surprising fact of defeat that you think people are still not willing to accept? >> i think one of my friends in the documentary, dr. stephanie millsap says it best in the documentary when she talks about after the civil war, the nation basically reconciled and soldiers reconciled around this idea of the south and common bower on the battlefield, and that's how that history was allowed to begin, but also there was an imp

melissa swanson joins us to discuss. good morning, melissa. >> good morning. ainsley: you were at that game. tell us what happened. >> yes. so the butler high school cheer leaders were holding a sign that said sniff, sniff smell that privilege. and privilege was written in white. i know a lot of parents didn't catch on really quickly what the privilege meant that it was written in white. but just based on my own son and what i deal with on a daily basis and what i try to teach him i picked up on white privilege white away. >> and you felt like it was racist right? >> i hate to use that word but yes. yes. it was definitely geared towards the white, rich privilege folks that they think are the only people at the catholic school. ainsley: and is that true? >> absolutely not. as mentioned, i have a biracial son, i'm a single mom. and by no means would i call myself rich or privileged. ainsley: did the school know about it? because football team ran through that sign. >> oh, school had to know about it. like i said the cheer leaders were holding it out on field and that's the disapoangting part of afl this the parents, coaches, school administration, they all allowed this to happen and at what point is enough, enough? and when adults are allowing this that's where the problem lies. >> charlotte school board said squad members and adults responsible for oversight will face consequences as a result of that banner display butler high school cheerleaders sent apology letter to counterparts at the charlotte catholic school, soon there will be a meeting between the school cheer leading squads to facilitate good will and understanding. how do you feel about that? are you satisfied with that? >> i am satisfied with that. because, i mean, no one is looking for the teammates to be suspended at least i'm not. ening that would be a little deras egg. but what i would look to see is the coming together, i mean at some point we're going to have to come together and we're going to have to get over this because -- our children are seeing it and and it is allowed and when children are allowed to do this and it is parents and the adults aren't stopping it it is only gong to continue. ainsley: maybe good will come out of this and a good lesson for all of the students to learn from thank you so much for being with us melissah a look at the chaos. plus lawns jones is having breakfast with friends an louden county before they pick their next governor. hey, lawrence. >> all right number of cargo ships are backing off nearly every u.s. port in the country. ainsley: expercent say it is not just the pandemic that's crippling the supply chain. steve: what? kelly o'grady from our sister network fox business joins us live as perfect storm of problems hit the global shipping market. kelly, i think you're out on the west coast this morning. >> i am. i got the whole gang here. this is great. well listen, even as the ports of los angeles and long beach are now operating 24/7, this supply crunch isn't going away they account for 40.of the sheping con ands that are cool into u.s. as of last night 108 were waiting off the coast ready to unload. now the covid shut down and scwents back log created a subsequent perfect storm as you said. and experts, though, predicted this crisis going back to 2015 now consumer habits chan

melissa. >> hi, i'm speaking on behalf of my family and melissa rodriguez and lisa cisneros and we have children but it's been disturbing and upsetting how many issues have come up with the years we have been there and interrupting instructional time. last year we had limited opportunities for kids to go in person they were super excited to do that when it was safe and then they lost the day because of the electricueingstrick -ris -- electricution of a fellow student. >> i'm from mount everett school and please read my letter. i'm representing the mission moms committee and we are from five different schools in the mission district. i agree with all the teachers and all the parents from buena vista but if you're going to allocate those funds from the school you need to make sure you allocate the funds for all schools. we all have the needs. i know it's hard for kids to face all the needs but imagine the panic of the kids and we need safety for all schools. >> felice. >> i'm an eighth grade teacher at buena vista horace man and was going to go off on the things that have happened in our building

melissa mcgee will present this item. >> and i'm here. >> okay. >> okay. good morning vice president spears, commissioners, executive director deerman. my name is melissa mcgee. i'm a program manager with the office of community partnerships. i'm here today to ask your approval to enter into contract with resource development associates to conduct the dignity fund at community needs assessment. as you know, on november 8, 2016, san francisco voters approved proposition "i," an amendment to the charter of the city and county of san francisco. this amendment established a fund to support older adults and adults with disabilities, and includes an annual contribution. this is referred to as the dignity fund. among the activities required by the dignity fund legislation is completion of a community, a comprehensive community needs assessment every four years. the first needs assessment was completed in fiscal year '17/'18, and we're now going to fiscal year '21/'22. we want to identify areas of unmet need and to support das' strategic decision-making. the dignity funds will provide for extensive outreach, will there include key informing interviews, focus g

melissa murray, nyu school of law professor and faculty director at the bernbaum women's leadership network. she's also an msnbc contributor. also with us, reverend erica forbes, outreach and faith manager for the texas freedom network. melissa, you are my guru for all things supreme court. so as someone highly familiar with what's happening this week, what are you listening for in tomorrow's arguments? what should we take away from the questions the justices ask? >> so i think it's really important going into this that your viewers understand that the real questions in both of these challenges tomorrow is whether or not these cases can even be brought in federal court against these defendants. that is, can the abortion providers sue these particular defendants who have not actually enforced the law in texas because the law has been outsourced to private citizens? and can the united states bring a suit against a sovereign state to enforce its laws? but the broader questions, as you alluded to is really this big question about federal law enforcement and, more particularly, whether a state can completely defy constitutional opinions, the work of the supreme court, simply by outsourcing its enforcement to private parties so that state officials are not on the hook for doing it and therefore can't be sued? so the supreme court's own legitimacy is really on the line tomorrow, and i think we're going to get a lot of questions from the justices about how the court can envision the whole question of its own decisions being complied with going forward by these states. >> it's going to be really interesting to hear some of those questions and how they are laid out tomorrow. reverend, data from the university of texas shows there are 24 abortion clinics in the entire state of texas. in surrounding states, there are only 15, so picture that in your head, folks, at home. all those millions of people who only have very limited access. what is the impact of these laws for real people on the ground in texas? are people increasingly desperate to access these health care services they need? are they going to extreme lengths? >> yes. thanks. let's be frank. in the 55-plus days since texas' extreme six-week abortion ban, s.b. 8, took effect, abortion access has been decimated in texas. but texans have not stopped needing or seeking abortion, right? so this means that clinics in neighboring states have reported huge upticks in patients traveling from texas. an oklahoma clinic reported that two-thirds -- two-thirds -- of the phone calls they've received since s.b. 8 took effect, they're from patients in texas. this law must be stopped. >> melissa, slate reporter mark joseph stern argues that, quote, breakneck speed of these hearings means at least one justice is undecided about the texas abortion law. if a majority believe texas' scheme is permissible and federal courts cannot stop it, why would it rush to hear these cases? what does that signal, if anything, to you? >> well, again, i think we have seen the justices in just the last couple of weeks really be on the ropes about whether or not they're going to step in to intervene here. we had justice amy coney barrett, justice clarence thomas, and justice stephen breyer all take to the stage to tell us that the court is not composed of partisan hacks in the words of justice barrett, which suggests they are really feeling the heat. they've had their lowest public approval ratings over the last couple of months. people are really beginning to believe that the court is not a neutral institution but rather because of this change in the court's composition, the addition of these thr
