democracy now! explain what exactly was argued before the u.s. supreme court and where the justices came down . ple saying this is the case that could upend democracy? >> yesterday's argument was really important for the state of our democracy. what happened is the state supreme court found very gerrymandered congressional map the state legislature adopted in north carolina violated the state constutions free and fair election provion. the state legislature is argui this violates the clause so in if in a state legislature theory provides [indiscernible] they didn't do so free of the constraints of the state constitution, particularly the supreme court. the stakes are high from a [indiscernible] provision is -- depending on how the justices come out, this case can have substantial implications for our democracy. amy: let's turn to the liberal supreme court justice elena kagan speaking during oral arguments. >> in all these ways, i think what might strike a person is that this is a proposal that gets rid of the normal checks and balances on the way governmental decisions are made in this country.

supreme court. the stakes for american democracy were probable throughout the three hour long arguments. d where and the one justice, let alone the supreme court, as a whole, is thinking from the questions. but andrea questions, it is possible, and i think that this wednesday was such a rare occasion. to your specific question, that is, what article one says, the constitution does empower the legislature of the state to prescribe that time, place, and manner of holding congressional elections. the petitioners argument really boiled down to what they called the textual argument that because the constitution confers that's power upon the state legislatures, then that power is exclusive, and there is no other state power that's can be brought their of their legislations decision, such as the state constitutions as enforced by the state supreme courts. and or executive power such as wielded by the governors of the states. >> and the governor of north carolina has actually penned an op-ed to say he doesn't share that opinion. the argument judge ketanji brown jackson put forward was, quoting fr

if democracy means that supreme court will sanction gay marriage, if democracy means they're to be all these women in the senate, we don't want democ on. fortunately, i think that's it boils down to. can i add one thing? yes. all right. so the issue of immigration is in all of this, too. it it as cynthia noted earlier, it makes people afraid in a lot of different places. and what's terrifying about that to is that we are our world of people on the move. human migration is a fact of modern life, not just because of political violence or or political reasons, wars, those kinds of things, but also because of climate. there are people who simply can't grow their crops where they used to anymore, and they're moving to try to figure out a place where they can make a living in and take care of themselves and their families. and when and when you have that reality, even the best of times, even in the best and most honest of debates about how you deal with that on your country's borders. it's a complicated issue. but when you can't even talk ou in, a kind of rational, compassionate, but also ev

♪♪ right now a big case in front of the united states supreme court has legal expert sounding the alarm about threats to democracymandered in favor of republicans. north carolina's republican lawmakers appealed, and now the highest court in the land will have the final say. the court and its conservative super majority heard arguments on wednesday. depending on how the justices rule, partisan politicians, possibly even election deniers and your state house, could end up with guns -- over election results in your state. this week i spoke to elie nassau, the corresponding for the nation, about the more versus harbor case on my peacock show. i started by asking for an initial impressions on the oral arguments. take a listen. >> at oral arguments -- there were three conservative justices who were all in for the cockamamie chaos theory that is independence day legislatures. clarence thomas, who as you pointed, out his wife was pushing this theory and her general coup attempts after the 2020 election, she was on board, send leader was on board, and the nihilist, neil gorsuch, dak was completely on board including makin

power to hundreds of thousands of people along with the latest on the supreme court case that he says could, quote, up end democracy. >>> we start with ra fall warnock's win in georgia. giving democrats the critical 51-49 edge in the senate and dealing a significant blow to donald trump. warnock's victory, his fifth in a row, could have huge implications for democrats. it means an outright majority in the senate no longer stymied by senators like senator sinema. it represents another loss for donald trump's hand-picked candidates. i want to bring in vaughn hillyard. ryan nobles joins me from capitol hill. jeff bennett is correspondent for the pbs news hour. and simone is host of "simone" here on msnbc. let's talk the big take away. both for the political landscape going forward, but also immediately for the democratic party. >> so i'll take the last question first. the biggest take away, and i would say the white house and the democratic senate, is the ability to have more control over committees. judges, something that this white house has prioritized. joe biden has put more black women on the federal bench than a

this is what is continuing to happen, and what will happen in a true multi-racial democracy. the supreme court has been an accomplice in creating these crises. we saw that recently as they ended a 50-year constitutional right to abortion. and so much else. over the last decade, the far-right majority of the court has gutted the voting rights act. unleased unlimited corporate spending in our elections. as i mentioned, ended the constitutional right to an abortion. they struck down common sense efforts to end gun violence. they also curb the epa's ability to address climate change. so much of this happened over the summer. i know the dobbs decision and the right to an abortion got most of the attention. but there are a lot of other really bad decisions that week. and in the week that followed. the maga majority on the supreme court is an extension of the republican party. they will do whatever it takes. whatever it takes. to hold on to power. they will impose the unpopular policies on the american people. they do this through the unaccountable institution called the supreme court. at the b

. >>> tomorrow the supreme court will hear arguments in a major case that experts say could have consequential ramifications as democracy the case comes from north carolina and has to do with restricting where republicans wan the supreme court to adopt a theory known as the independent state legislature theory which asserts that state legislators are all powerful, when it comes to elections and how they act and could curtail the ability of state courts to review whether new voting laws even comply with the state's constitution. joining me thousand to discussion is mightal wallman, president of the brennan center for justice and we've had a great explainer which is important. and one of the things that you said is the notion that state legislators have sole power over election rules is extreme and historically imaginary and one of the most radical power grabs ever. the reality though is this would not ultimately be just about elections. so if the court upholds this theory, this would throw checks and balances out of the window. is there any way to get that back if that happens? >> well, the most important thing i think i

democracy? >>, well first of all, lawrence, i'm not sinatra. >> the sinatra of the supreme court. >> but there'sctually a serious point here. i really appreciate the kind words, but the truth, is i was working with the best team ever assembled, and those words were often not my words, there are the words forged and ideas forged under eight separate court practice actions, and the like, the basic principle we are trying to get that is that the american government, and the founding on, it's always been about checks and balances, and part of that checks and balances, has always been state courts raining in state legislatures. it happened in north carolina, it's a pretty evenly divided state politically, for the legislature gerrymandered it, so the beat ten republican seats and four democratic seats. and you know, the same thing is happening to reverse and other states, i don't think it's just a partisan issue or something like that. but when you think back to like the 2020 election, and the 62 courts that ruled against donald trump, many of them were state courts, and this theory that is being floa

that tears the state apart and, of course, the preconditions that ukraine must support the democracy of the supremeened, zelensky banned most of the opposition parties and closed it. the media forged the trade unions and the right of workers, but billions continue to pour in and this country, about which our accounting chamber stated that it accused of massive corruption and corruption continues while the eu policy seems to be to prevent peace and continue the war by any means, as long as ordinary people pay for it. so between russian tanks and european banks. little will be left of ukraine when this is all over. don't forget war is rackets, it will be a hell sale. well said. yes, this is her last phrase, i have it recorded. here the first one i just wanted to start with very precisely formulated e contours the future of ukraine and that between russian tanks and european banks, in fact, this will be it. uh, the end of ukraine is not enough, what is there, in fact , i will stay here on one of your fronts. he cited the figure that, according to the world bank, 8 million ukrainians or 25%, that is, e

democracy? >> well, first of all, lawrence, i'm no sinatra. and you know -- >> the sinatra of the supremeourt. that's a new review. >> there's a serious point here. i mean, i really appreciate the kind words, but the truth is, i was working with the best team ever assembled, and those words were often not my words. they were the words forged and ideas forged after eight separate moot court practice sessions and the like. but the basic principle that we're trying to get at is that the american government, from the founding on, has always been about checks and balances. and part of the checks and balances has always been state ports raining in straight legislature. what happened in north carolina, it's an evenly divided state politically. but the legislation gerrymandered it so that be ten republican seats and four democratic seats. you know, the same thing has happened in the reverse and other states. so i don't think it's just a partisan issue, or something like that. when you think back to the 2020 election and the 62 cords that ruled against donald trump, many of them were state courts.

yea about how important it was t secure democracy, one of the things that we neglected to ti into that conversation was the importance of looking at the supremeoing on there because at the end of the day, democracy is only as secure as our faith in the institution that uphold it, and the suprem court being an example of that as something that we completel overlooked in that discussion. >> this is the thing i'm so glad you brought that up because that guardrail has hel to a certain extent. right? when trump was flooding th courts with nonsense, it wen nowhere. recently, we had another tes case with judge cannon's, yo know, largely view to be lawless order giving essentially donald trump special treatment, taking away criminal evidence, - no criminal defendant anywhere in history has ever gotten for any reason, overruled -- not an appeal to the supreme court. but here's the thing, to you point, charles what's so scary is that it's lake, you just need five brain warm folks on the supreme cour who are just ingesting the worst media in the universe to go along with it, and then that's the law, and. you as someone who's devoted his life to the law,
