chief justice. i will be brief. i wantconclude with several members of the court talking about this theme, and it is something that my cocounsel and i have talked about and mentioned in court this morning, which is what i think this case those are the four's on the side of this building, equal justice under law. juicunder law. i ometimes we do not fulfill atromise, i understand that. t at the heart of this case, asking for is equal justice under la not more justice, certainly not less certainly not less because of the color of her skin or because of her sex or because of her religion. a simply asking for equal justice under law because i that is what title vii says and i think that is consistent with what this court has held in numerous cases a is consistent with congress' intent in passing a civil rights law to protect the civil rights of all americans. >> thank y counsel. the case is submitted. >> the honorable court is

that's where we came around racial justice, economic justice.carceration rates. step back. it's an issue around racial justice. same thing with democracy. we bring our committees that are structured together, they come up with a consensus to look at this particular issue. and then it's a whole process of building consensus around that and consensus around detailed policy statements that lay out positions and then put together an action plan for mobilization around those issues. >> similarly, we work with each congregation. while we're building a state dl wide network, i have the opportunity to work with justice teams at each congregation. for them to think about, what do you care about? what's happening? where is your congregation on different issues? what will bring people together who want to have an impact? sometimes it's on something very local and sometimes that will bridge to something larger. coming back to, like you said, root causes. in addition to the direct service work that congregations do, we want to help our congregations be part

but the justice department responded to our story today by saying, president trump's department of justice is laser focused on making our streets safe, deporting criminal illegals, and ending the weaponization of our justice system. and any assertion otherwise ignores the record setting, first month accomplishments of this administration. i also got a reaction from the white house that is not thrilled with this story, but they said the white house will always amplify the accomplishments across the trump administration, including the consequential work of attorney general pam bondi, who is working to bring transparency and integrity back to the justice department. this is a welcome change to the previous administration, whose justice department took over the pr strategy of the dnc. >> elliot, as someone who once worked for the justice department, how unusual is it for the white house to be this involved? >> it's incredibly. >> unusual. >> and i think people. >> have a. >> hard. >> time with this. and even guests on this network have mixed this up, this idea that because the president appoin

we had the chief justice and justice amy coney barrett, siding with the three liberals to give a 5 to 4 majority. and again, i think when we look forward, you're basically going to have three. the three liberal justices, jackson, sotomayor and kagan, they're generally going to be locked in against broad executive power, against the trump administration. it's a safe bet moving forward to count on elite justices alito and thomas and gorsuch basically being in favor of executive power. and so that leaves us, really, three justices in the middle, the chief justice kavanaugh and barrett, who are going to serve more or less as the middle of the swing. now, we know they're conservatives. but as you see in this case, if you can, if the liberals can win over two of those three, then they can actually pull out a decision here and there. >> all right, elie honig, as always, thank you so much. >> thanks, panel. >> and still ahead, we'll sit down with president trump's senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, peter navarro, on what a tariff compromise potentially would look like. >> and we'll

so chief justice john roberts and justice amy coney barrett joined the three democratic appointees in republican appointed justices samuel alito, clarence thomas, neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh dissented from alito's dissent. what does this single district court judg, who likely lacks jurisdiction, have the unchecked power to compel the government of the united states to pay out and probably lose forever, 2 billion taxpayer dollars? question mark. the answer to that question should be an emphatic no, but a majority of this court apparently thinks otherwise. i am stunned. it is not the common tone and tenor of opinions. but as andrew pointed out, here we are. it's also very. different than justice alito's position back a few years. >> ago in the. >> united states versus texas. >> case, where. >> he dissented. >> from the supreme. >> court's refusal. >> to essentially. uphold and. >> uphold the decision of a. single district. >> court. judge in texas with respect to immigration. >> a statute. >> texas texas. >> had passed that. >> really would have encroached. >> on the. >> federal go

it was a 5 to 4 decision, with chief justice john roberts and associate justice amy coney barrett joiningnd ketanji brown jackson. folks do not take too much comfort in the decision. the ruling only upheld a lower court decision, which the dissenting justices claimed was the wrong court to appeal trump's decision to pause usaid payments. and it leaves the larger constitutional question about whether congress has the ultimate power of the purse unanswered. i am confused. so joining me now is an expert msnbc legal analyst, melissa murray, professor of law at new york university and co-host of the strict scrutiny podcast. melissa, i thought that congress has the power of the purse because it's in the constitution. and did the dissenting justices literally send these folks to go judge shopping? >> so. >> okay, you were exactly. >> right to frame this. >> as a very. >> narrow ruling. this was on. >> the court's. >> emergency docket, also known as the shadow docket. so the court gets to decide. things on an emergency basis. >> and they. >> don't have to. >> offer a lot. >> of. >> language about

with justice all together. most egregious was the conduct of the high court itself. the roberts court first delayed any potential trial of the president and crippled the prosecution all together, granting the president immunity from prosecution for the commission of crimes while in office. no wonder the president thanked the court at last night's joint address and told justice roberts in particular that he would not forget. for the first time in america the supreme court held that if you reach the pinnacle of power, the presidency, the criminal laws need not apply to you. that, indeed, you may use the power of that law itself to commit crimes and never be held to account. as justice soutomayor said, it makes a mockery that no man is above the law. now we have entered a perilous few phase where someone who escaped the law is now charged with administering the law, donald trump has appointed his own criminal defense lawyers to top places. it is a justice department in which trump's lawyers have sought to dismiss

anchor: what did the dissenting justices say?court made an unfortunate misstep. anchor: what happens now? >> the money does not start going out the door immediately. they will decide which get unfrozen and win. conceivably be there will be another hearing. about which get unfrozen. what about the foreign aid groups to handle all of this funding? how are they reacting to this? >> they said they welcome the supreme court's rejection. they said this ruling was not enough. they want to reinstate staff. anchor: there was a moment last night they got a lot of attention. an interaction between president trump as he left the podium and greeted the supreme court justices for the microphone picked up some of what they had to say. >> thank you. thank you very much. thank you again. thank you. i won't forget. anchor: thank you again. won't forget it. >> we don't know what the president was thinking chief justice roberts four. these are rare events in washington or anywhere where the supreme court justices ended president are in the same room

justice alito had that dissent which showed the four that i showed you, the four justices who wanted to do what trump wanted. and he argued that a single district court judge should not have unchecked power to make the government pay. basically the agreements it's agreed to. and then he threw in his own little kind of personal emotion. he is stunned. i am stunned. alito says now, that's a reminder of how justice alito and certain members of the court have really given up any pretense of just hewing to the law and saying, this fits our precedent or this doesn't. because when you say you're stunned, you're just sharing your emotions based on what your preconceptions were. i guess he thought there would be at least one extra vote, and he is stunned that there's not. and but for him, being an important member of the supreme court, if any other lawyer said that, you'd go, well, that sounds like a you problem. that the events on the court aren't matching the perceptions and expectations you had, and you feel stunned. now, the context for this is a series of lower court losses. and we've be

the ruling was 5 to 4, with the chief justice john roberts and justice amy coney barrett joining theiral colleagues in the majority. i want to go straight to cnn's joan biskupic, who spent the morning at the court. tell us what happened. >> sure. what a set of tableaus. you know, there they were, you know, being thanked for their ruling, the chief being thanked for his ruling earlier for donald trump, and then to see them all on the bench today after a fairly dramatic order that actually, dana is not doing all that much what the court did in its five four order today is say that, you know, the administration cannot keep these funds frozen, but it offered a caveat, saying that they still need to hear from the district court judge in terms of how this is going to be paid out. so in terms of the real world consequences, we still don't know when the money will flow and how these groups that are trying to do so much, uh, assistance overseas are going to be able to, uh, to be able to continue that mission. but for these nine justices, what this order revealed is how even a modest compromise

the justices and sent it back to the district court.k to judge ali for him to decide which programs get un frozen and when he said keep in mind the ability of the administration to carry out your order. and conceivably there will be another hearing about which programs get unfrozen. and the court, i'm sorry, the trump administration could go in and argue against some programs getting unfrozen, but i would note that in the latest pbs/npr poll 58% said they think that trump will ignore court rulings. >> 50%. what about the foreign groups, foreign aid groups that handle all of this finding, how are they reacting to this? >> they are a little cautious because they do not know what is going to happen next. they don't know when this money starts going up. this is -- an executive director of action aid usa. she said we welcome the supreme court's rejection of the administration's disingenuous bid for more time to review payments and resume funding for critical life-saving foreign assistance. but she also said, this ruling is not enough. the ad

justice department correspondent scott macfarlane joins me now.e reason for these motions that was given? >> reporter: ed martin has made the argument on social media that echoes the claim from donald trump, that he believed the justice department is weaponized in previous years against political foes of donald trump's, and was not focused enough on reducing gun violence, or tackling violence issues in the district of columbia. ed martin has justified this by% saying he needs to reconfigure if not overhaul his office. this may space might be an obscure office: the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia, but this is sending shock waves across the justice department. assigned critics say they are under the thumb of president trump moving forward. >> john: remind us again of who ed martin is. >> report: ed martin is one of those people who has a nickname he self proclaims. he calls h himself ed "legal" martin. he was part of the stop the steel movement after that election and was a generate sixth defense attorney appointed to the job after the in

to me, i thought, "well, i guess this is scottish justice and everything." that all um... ..pretty appalling. reporter: hundreds of people were bussed in for the event. scottish flags were provided. it was a decision taken by the scottish legal system, but it's clear, the return of the bomber suits many people. out of all the things that have happened since december 21st, 1988, i would say megrahi's release was probably one of the hardest things. it really made me know for sure, for the rest of my life, that there is no justice. because i knew he was innocent, i wanted him to go home, so he could die with his family. his release on compassionate leave was very hard to stomach, because my father and none of the people on the plane or on the ground had been treated with any compassion. so, it was a very, very difficult moment. suse: why was he let go? the answer simply is so that the uk can go and drill for oil. i mean, thousands and thousands of people die in prison of cancer. it was tit for tat. jim: i think i know who was responsible and the truth is, actua

chief justice john roberts and justice amy coney barrett siding with their liberal colleagues in the five four split decision. chief legal affairs correspondent paula reid joins us now. so, paula, walk us through the court's decision. >> this is a technical decision, but it really reveals a lot about the internal partisan divides at the court. now, here, the trump administration had asked the court to allow this foreign aid to continue to be frozen, not force them to disperse it as a lower court had. but the supreme court declined to intervene on behalf of the trump administration. they didn't say when this money needs to be sent out. instead, they sent that all back down to the lower court to be hashed out. but in this dissent, four conservative justices took the time to write an opinion disagreeing with the majority. and that's notable because, again, this isn't a huge decision. this isn't the constitutional opinion on whether trump has the power to reshape the federal government. this is a pretty technical issue, but these justices felt very strongly that a lower court judge shoul

it is totally contrary to the interests of justice. the trial period was a very difficult one for me because at the beginning of it, i still believed that our government had been telling us the truth as best they knew it. but the lack of credible evidence was what converted me to realizing that the intelligence services of britain and america had other things in mind than truth and justice. reporter: in one of these cars is a witness from libya who could decide the outcome of britain's biggest murder trial. abdul majid was once a libyan secret agent and now fears that his former libyan colleagues want to kill him. phil: the double agent, who we called puzzle piece, was willing to testify. you know, that was the real, you know, crux of that trial. there was some critical questions.

dissenters led by justice alito with thomas, and kavanot, which means chief justice roberts and justice barrett did side with the democrat appointees on the court. they have said they are dissenting pick let me redo a little bit a bit. the court makes the most unfortunate misstep that rewards an act of judicial hubris and imposes a $2 billion penalty on american taxpayers. they say the relief that has been ordered to pay this morning out is an extreme response tickets is a federal court has many tools to address a party's supposed malfeasance. self-aggrandizement of its jurisdiction is not one of them. in plain english, they think the lower court got it wrong and was way out-of-bounds to order this morning paid out. they say it is going to be the harm of the american taxpayer. they've now said to the lower court explained to the trump administration exec lee what they have to do. the order stands, the monies got to go out. >> bill: how big of a surprise is this? >> reporter: any time it is 5-4 you can't be sure exactly. it was a close decision. one vote flips either roberts or barrett t

but what's happening at the department of justice. and that's what i want everyone to understand. these are not democratic u.s. attorneys, these are republican u.s. attorneys that have trained under republican-appointed supreme court justices who have stated that there is -- and suggested as well that the prosecutorial power at the department of justice may be influencing what is occurring and instead of carrying that out and carrying out the erosion at the department of justice, they would have preferred to give up their entire careers. seven life long public servants involved in law enforcement, mind you. and to that, when it comes to the fact if a this may or may not have -- that this may or may not have anything to do with this hearing, respectfully, mr. chairman, this is about specifically immigration enforcement. in terms of that. and this right here is the four alarm fire that everyone must be paying attention to. because if it's not just in the mayor's office of new york city, what other city, what other individual, what other municipality leader can be next? for a party t

we saw justice roberts, kavanaugh, kagan, and we did not see justices brown, sotomayor, alito.es that tell you anything? that just four out of the nine? peter: justice alito -- jason: justice alito has been skipping this for a number of years, after a couple of his motions and mouthing's kind of caught the cameras after one of his addresses. thomas has also skipped quite a few lately. and, you know, it's not surprising to me, because i do think some people are feeling like that they don't have to be there. [laughter] they've done this before. a lot of them have done this before, even for people who, you know, are relatively new. peter: but you don't necessarily see this as a protest by the democratic justices, brown-jackson and sotomayor? jason: it could be. the supreme court is a very tight group. they are very close. it's been a long time with one another pit whether or not it is a protest or whether it is just, i think i want to, you know, catch up on netflix, it could be that, too. jasmine: i had a reservation at the local eatery.

justice alito goes on to question how a single district court can compel the entire government to makeike this. so, can doge ultimately succeed if activist judges in lower courts try to stop it? >> well, what the supreme court also said is that the district court needed to provide more clarity because they were abusing, as you said, weaponizing and using lawfare against a federal government. we know that democrat are going to try to sue up and down to prevent the mandate that president trump was delivered. really important thing to remember is exactly what these usaid dollars are going to, millions of dollars to promote tourism in egypt. millions of dollars for dei in serbia. millions of dollars for books and musicals promoting dei in south america. it's just not something that the american people will stand for and the trump administration will continue fighting against in court and through whatever levers that they can to support the american people and make sure that they are cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. >> carley: practically speaking, danielle does that mean this $2 billion ta
