ms. thomas, can i ask you, how much blame and ukraine's western allies the so this on go? i don't think ok patient given that they didn't do much except protest against russians, accession of crime the back in 2014 are unfortunate. so we have to talk about that. it's not so much about blame. it's about understanding the consequences of the lack of the reaction that we have seen off of the 2 or 2. we just have to acknowledge this, that this reaction was not enough was not sufficient. and that's led to the fact that trust shot, do a militarized crania, and use this as a launch pod for the further aggression against to crate and for the full given agent basically. right? and this is somebody, i'm so sorry i'm going to have you. it isn't right there that because we have run out of time, but i'd like to thank you so much for joining us here on the w, maria till not head of the crime me. it's not. thank you. thank you again. thank you. in europe today. thanks so much for watching w news, the can computers read minds all over the world? scientists are studying communications betw

ms. thomas shrug know, flying around body parts of the tone to pieces. it's beyond description of. this is the 2nd time in a week is really forces have targeted a crowd waiting for food. on thursday, at least 118 palestinians were killed and hundreds injured. while trying to climb on a truck carrying 8 according to you when workers, many of them headed gunshot ones. but israel says it was largely the result of a stampede. simon is ravaging gaza. despite some a to drop you from the sky. the supplies for far short of events to meet the ground need to cease fire, we need it immediately. we know it. we repeated to be able to increase. you entered 8 ed drops will look solve this renewed sustain ceasefire to bring in a safe way at a to the people in the medical care as well. the constance shelling and air strikes are worsening. the so many different crisis they do in a rough find the so this was the home of the blinds of families, but now it's raised to the ground. the oven renews. entire family was killed, including for a newborn twins and had it that we were sleeping. there felt like a

justice thomas: is there an express pr to -- that defines what a qualcandidate is? ms. eme court looked at this, ooked at the need to be qualified, plus the fact that the -- this part was -- justice thomas: so what does it say then, if it is not express? how do we get to this issue of qualifieidate? msenso what the court -- the colorado supreme court did -- and let me, if i could have a make the argumenth, i do want to shouldn't review the court's 125 statutory interpretation. -- shouldn't review the court's statutory interpretation. justice thomas: no, i'm looking at the statute. ms. stevenson: right. what the court did was to say that we have three important provisions in this section tha show that candidates have to be first, it requires that under 12032(a) that a political that wants to participate has to have a qualiandidate. alsloedri justice thomas: i know, but this isn't a write-didate. so we are actually talking about the participation of a political party, right? we are not talking about the participof a candidate? ms. stevenson: sure. i think that the fact tha

the new york families reports that justice thomas and his wife jenny took ms.n she was fired from the turning point usa after reportedly sending racist text messages. the couple began calling her there nearly adopted daughter. she is so close to the thomases that she is prominently featured in some of their recent newsletters, right alongside the thomases dogs. in addition to providing her housing, clanton worked for ginni thomas herself and mrs. thomases consulting firm. they also helped ms. clanton land a clerkship in his own office. there is nothing illegal about keeping things close, but this is the supreme court, an institution that is encouraged by the nonbinding federal code of conduct to avoid unnecessary appointments, nepotism, and favoritism. it is an institution that has a 60% disapproval rating right now. it is also an institution that is currently facing a giant credibility problem amid a flood of ethics scandal centering on justice clarence thomas. so you might expect, i don't know. a bit more self-awareness? sort of self-awareness that the court

katyal: so, justice thomas, our position and ms. vullo's position is it is not one illegal insurance product, it is all legal. the attachments of the complaints attach the consent orders which make that clear. the nra never got a license for all of the affinity products. it is their burden to prove -- in other words, unlawful insurance product is in the complaint, they never identified in the complaint. we spent a huge amount of time on this and call them out. to this day they have not explained one lawful product that was ever issued by these three insurers. and that is why we think if you are asking yourself is there an obvious likely explanation for what is going on, that is what it is. that is why the consent orders -- justice sotomayor: sorry, these affinity programs could have been altered, and these consent decrees and what she was seeking was a ban even of potentially lawful affinity programs. i mean, if they had taken out the intentionality provision or the criminal activity provision and just insured for accidents with gun

katyal: so, justice thomas, our position and ms. vullo's position throughout has been there's not one illegal insurance product, it's all illegal. and the attachments to the complaint attach the consent orders which make that clear. the nra never got a license for all of the affinity products. it's their burden to prove -- i know the word "lawful insurance product" is in the complaint. they never identified it in the complaint. our red brief spent, obviously, a huge amount of time on this and called them out. to this day, they haven't explained one lawful product that was ever issued by these three insurers, and that's why we think, if you're asking yourself under iqbal and twombly is there an obvious likely explanation for what's going on, that's what it is. that's why the consent orders read the do -- the way they do. justice sotomayor: sorry, these affinity programs could have been altered. and these consent decrees and what she was seeking was a ban even of potentially lawful affinity programs. i mean, if they had taken out the

ms. cannon might see themselves as justices when clarence thomas and alito predictably resign if a republican becomes president. that's just me. let me read the letter from donald trump's lawyers to congress. they said this, we have seen absolutely no indication that president trump knowingly possessed any of the marked documents or willfully broke any laws. rather, all indications are that the presence of marked documents at mar-a-lago was the result of haphazard records keeping and packing by white house staff and gsa, so blaming them. the applicable statute is willful retention. to prove willful retention, the prosecutor must establish it was knowing. now let's play donald trump talking about willful possession. >> i can't imagine you ever saying, bring me some of the boxes that we brought back from the white house. i would like to look at them. did you ever do that? >> i don't have the right to do that. there's nothing wrong with that. i have the right to take stuff, i have the right to look at stuff. i took the documents, i'm allowed to. by the way, they become automatically declassified

justice thomas: isn't that a criticism of some of our association and standing cases and organizational standing cases? ms. prelogar: i do not think it is. withes standings this court has said that the association needs to identify a specific member suffering a concrete harm and an injury that is nonspeculative. i do not take issue with that fact, they are agreeing it would be necessary to identify a specific doctor. the problem with the associational standing theory is that it rests on this chain of remote possibility with so many steps in the process that would have to occur laying one speculative remote odds of chance of injury across another to get to the ultimate rm on behalf of these doctors. >> y associate the remote nature and it affects the likelihood that these patients will go to the emergency room and so on. is there a number of which your argument would change, the significant number of consequences, higher likelihood of an emergency room visit, doctors who spend mortime in the emergency room, at some point does this analysis lead to the other result? ms. prelogar: it is hard to imagine that

more specific answer to the first question that justice thomas you,s there anybody who could challenge in court the lawf of what the fda did? mselogar: in this case i think the sw was no. justice kavanaugh: is therep anody that could do that? let us start with the states that intervened. will you say that in that litigation fine, you can challengitnd let us get the meri othis issue and what the lawfulness of the fda did? ms. prelogar: the states lacked standing, they a aerting indirect injuries and could result in the states alway suing the united states government. justice kavanaugh: how about a doctor who opposes abortion,e is on duty when won who comes in with complications from taken mifepristone, anth doctor is the only one on duty who can attend to the woman's problem and as a result in order to save her life she has to abort the viable fet. with that doctor then have standing to seek injunctive relief? or would you say this is too speculative. this is like being struck by lightning and it is not sufficiently likely that ts will happen to this doctor again? ms. prelogar: atould represent past harm and we are not dispinth
