remember, of course, back in 2000, bush v gore, when it was all too tight to count down in florida, allse dimpled chads and so on, so postal or mail in ballots have been conducted in some states for quite some time, with very satisfactory results, but this time, of course, it is thought that more states will look to implement that sort of system, because of the effects of the coronavirus. now, president trump does not like that prospect. the figures have shown that mail—in ballots tend to favour the democrats. president trump of course is trailing his democratic rival, joe biden in the polls at the moment and some are suggesting that perhaps by introducing this notion of apprehension, that the president is simply looking to pave the way, possibly, to contest the eventual outcome of the election, should he lose tojoe biden. indeed. one other thing that people were suggesting is that this original tweet came not long after some gdp figures in the us were announced, which laid out the really huge toll the coronavirus is having on the us economy. what did the president have to say about tha

. >> reporter: a lot of experts i've talked to liken this to bush v. gore.hey say it could take day osar weeks to finalize the results of owe close collection and that's why ridge is asking trump and biden not to do or say anything further that undermines people's confidence in this election even if it takes people longer to find out the results. don? >> abby, thank you so much. a massachusetts detective fired after posting a picture of her niece at a black lives matter protest. colleagues say it was offensive. she say she was in support of her niece and the movement. we're going speak with her, just ahead. . when i was diagnosed with dupuytren's contracture, i waited to get treated. thought surgery was my only option. but then i found out about nonsurgical treatments. it was a total game changer. learn more about the condition at factsonhand.com it was a total game changer. just between us, cleaning with a mop and bucket is such a hassle. well i switched to swiffer wet jet and it's awesome. it's an all-in-one that absorbs dirt and grime deep inside. and it

. >>> the bush v gore disarray might be nothing compared to what we're facing this november with a president and his party determined to sow confusion, break the system and maybe get a little russian dressing on the side. thank you so much for being here. you and i have been texting about this. this is something that does alarm me. as much as congressional republicans and senate republicans say, oh, no, no, no. trump can't delay the election. everything will be fine. we're going to have an election. they're not the only elected republicans out there. is there a concern that the even more sycophantant runs in the states would get in the way of a free and fair election and hand it to donald trump? >> there's a possibility but i wouldn't get too alarmed about it. there is a statute that congress passed that says if the election does not produce any winner in a state, then it's permissible for the state legislature itself to nominate a slate of electorates. that could happen in states like pennsylvania or texas but it would not ultimately carry the day because it's up to congress when it counts

having a national election, and some national experts are telling axios that it could make the bush v. gorelook like a walk in the park, and that's because states like pennsylvania, north carolina, wisconsin, and georgia, are all battle fronts for voting rights advocates and election lawyers, as they're looking at how we're basically going to be able to pull off voting in november. now, that matters because these states have had very little experience historically with voting in person. but the other thing that they share is they have surging coronavirus cases at the moment, and they all have really competitive elections, not just the presidential race, of course. so, what we're anticipating and what we're hearing at axios from election lawyers is that they expect a lot of litigation to be popping up everywhere in different states after the election, especially if these races are really close in battleground states. the other interesting thing, yasmin, is last night we had one of our virtual focus groups with obama/trump swing voters in michigan, and they told us that if the margins are clo

if you want to know something i found interesting, i was telling a group of stanford students, bush v. gore. i was dissenting. even though it was wrong, and even though it was important and made a difference, people did not throw rocks, they did not go the streets and have riots, they did not start shooting each other. they accepted the rule of law. i said i know about 20% or 30% of you are thinking too bad there weren't. i replied to my conversation i am having with these people before you come to a final conclusion turn on your television set and see how people decide matters of importance, legal matters, others, in countries that do not have rule of law. see what you would prefer. talia: not all countries have a legal system in which justices publicly disagree with one another in dissent opinions. to what extent do you think the legitimacy of the supreme court in the u.s. and respect for rule of law is related to that kind of public disagreement that is so frequent in the system of the supreme court? justice breyer: people have different opinions about that. where there are no dissenting

election experts and political operatives i've talked to liken what we should expect in november to bush v. goreey say it could take days even weeks to finalize the results of a close election. that's why they're encouraging both trump and biden to not do or say gg that could further undermine public confidence in this election even if it takes people longer than they're expecting or used to find out those final results. don? >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. a massachusetts detective fired after posting a picture on her instagram of her niece at a black lives matter protest. her colleagues say it was offensive. she says she was in support of her niece and the movement. i'm going to speak with her just ahead. gillette proglide and proglide gel. five blades and a pivoting flexball designed to get virtually every hair on the first stroke, while washing away dirt and oil. so you're ready for the day with a clean shave and a clean face. i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as li

he doesn't seem to remember in 2000, bush v gore was a close contest in the state of florida, it took a month for it to wind up at the supreme court and bush won the election. you know, that took a month. i don't know if the president remembers that we couldn't project a winner. >> that was 500 votes. 500 votes in the state of florida if you recall. >> had a discussion about that before the u.s. supreme court and bush was elected president. it took a month to determine that. absolutely. let me go back to kaitlan collins. he came out without energy, reading a statement clearly prepared. i don't think he necessarily appreciates how awful the u.s. economy is right now. these numbers from the commerce department coming in today that are an annual rate 32.9% collapse of the economy in the second quarter from april through june. another 1.4 million americans just last week had to apply for unemployment. millions of americans right now are in deep trouble. he is suggesting well, it's going to have a huge rebound, be great. right now, it's terrible. >> reporter: yeah, and no bounce in sight.

one of his key cases representing president bush and bush v. gore, he is also a partner now at dickson donahue in washington and we are pleased to have you back. you are with us on the first term and we are glad to have you back for the second season. >> i'm delighted that you would ask. >> we want to start with understanding how broad or narrow this decision was. how people understand the decision before we go into all of the details. what the court actually find? >> the court found that the times and the post could not be restrained and banned from publishing a prior strength, as it is known. they said, with the very heavy burden, that the government has, to overcome, they have to show real irreparable harm to the country, and that the government had failed to do that. that was the ruling of the court. in addition to that ruling, there were nine separate opinions by members of the court. while they all agreed that prior restraints are difficult, very difficult, to obtain, the vote in the case with six to three, as we just heard, in favor of the ti

theodore olson has argued 60 cases plus before the supreme court including the 2000 bush v. gore.nk you for being with us. douglas smith is a non-fiction author and executive director of the service academy and wrote "the inside story of how the supreme court brought one person and one vote to the united states." thanks for being here. >> thank you 37. >> we'll begin by listening to chief justice earl warren in his own words talking about his importance to the country and the court. >> this court held that the question of whether a person had equal protection of the laws was a judicial question and we had the right to decide it and we held that the legislatures must give equal representation to everyone and that was where the expression one man, one vote came into being. in that sense, i think that that case from which all of the other reapportionment cases followed is perhaps the most important case we've had since i've been on the court. >> so ted olson, why would the chief justice think of this as the most important case. >> the decision in this case opened the door for a chang

white house one way or the other the question is whether or not this election goes into sort of a bush v. gore gray area where it's not a question of accepting results it's a question of whether we have results at all due to confusion or chaos or legal action or something like that i think that's the danger area for american democracy going into this election and the president is clearly primed to say there was fraud and it's an illegitimate election. if he ends up with a result that is in some sort of gray area there, this is a president who has said that he will say there is fraud in the election he's saying it now and said it back in 2016 in an election that he actually won the presidency i think the danger area is that. if the president is overwhelmingly elected or defeated, i think that will be clear and the legal process will be clear the request he is if you get that gray area result and that's why this tweet speaks into that vein of thinking david. >> thanks, eamon. >>> with less than 100 days to go, eamon javers, thank you for that is correct we will watch it closely today along with

the possibility of mail in voting could make bush v gore look like childs play. is going to be that risk then you have the policy risk, which i think we are hearing about on the tax increases this being proposed is about 1.5% gdp for 2021. that's about the highest since 1968 which was about 1.7% gdp. most of those increases were relatively small it directly impacts profits and the return on stocks one idea is this unrealized capital gains tax. there is a lot of work being done behind the scenes and that would overall reduce equity values and then third, you'll have wealth managers saying you should is sell your stocks ahead of the 2021. any time we see an election, we'll figure out the opportunity. the market saying biden will be better on international relations. you are seeing the dollar fall and non-u.s. stocks and technology filling up because those are effected by the trade policy that would be reversed. >> the s&p 500 moved into positive territory for the year. factoring in the short-term risk of the unknown or slightly longer term risk of the policy change

you pull back a little bit and you think about how the country is moved since 2000, since the bush v. gorebecame this sort of all in war against our neighbor. how we began to perceive our politics, began to perceive each other. over that 20 year period we watched an escalation of resentments, an escalation of fear, an escalation of political chicanery, that sort of manipulated the system. and what trump did was really reach down into that and pulled out of that that anger, frustration, and gave voice to it. and so, that's how he could stand in front of those four great presidents and say what he said. because he knows there are a lot of americans in which he still is that avatar of white resentment. that avatar for white grievance. that avatar that speaks about that slippage of what they perceive america to be. so what yamiche was saying earlier in her reporting that we're looking at this as a rethinking of american history, what we're witnessing is not a rethinking of american history but an explosion of exposure to what american history really is. that's why people sat down and watched "

because that's what the supreme court used in bush v gore to cut off the florida counting.national emergency investigation going through december 14th. biden, of course, challenges this in the courts. say, hey, won these states, i want the electors that favored me named. the supreme court doesn't throw the election to the republicans as it did in 2000, instead it says, look, there's a deadline here. if they can't be certified in these states because of this investigation going on, there's a constitutional process for this. what's the constitutional process? it goes to the house of representatives. everybody says, that's good. nancy pelosi, democrats control the house. no, when a presidential election is thrown into the house of representatives under the constitution, it's state-by-state vote. each state gets one vote based on the number of republicans and 2ke democra democrats. today republicans include it 26-23 with pennsylvania split. even if pennsylvania was to elect a democratic delegation come this new election because it's the new congress that votes here, it would be
