well he's talking about taking this to the supreme court he can't do that he's of course making a point that because he himself appointed 3 conservative supreme court judges that is seen as a clear chief meant over those past 4 years and of course he's hoping that they would rule in his favor which is not that certain acts he they are deemed to be highly qualified judges in the end so 1st of all if it comes down to it's we might see individual recounts in those handful of states where there are big question marks right now because there has been quite a bit of concern about possible on the wrist if the election were to be contested in the sun of the. people were gathering in during the night outside the white house but there's no reports of any violence on the streets i think we're a way off really i think it really comes down to the question how willing both sides will be to accept victory or defeat once a victory or defeat is declared and although donald trump says as far as he's concerned he's won these elections he can't really count on the full support of the republican party no network has a declared victory either way including

supreme court in his first term between 1933 and 1936. the supreme court during that time struck down 13 new deal phases. it only fully upheld one new deal policy. the conservatives on the supreme court had firmly -- firmly asserted themselves and believed it was unconstitutional. roosevelt had not had an opportunity to affect the balance on the court because there had been no appointments. president inrst american history to serve a full four years and not have an opportunity to appoint a justice. we have the very famous political cartoon here of roosevelt as this deranged ship captain pointing at the compass. there are a number of things we think are interesting. theis that if we believe constitution is our true north star, the guiding principle in american politics, the compass which tells us which direction , only the supreme court could garda -- guide us in the direction. roosevelt comes along and says i want to change this. -- instead of being a loyal lieutenant. congress had been voting for every new deal policy request that roosevelt had made. here's the time when they stand up for themselves because they think roosevelt has crossed the line. at the start

up then i see you can get and then you know the supreme court will go forward i think states is today a very very. specifically we have a very conservative supreme court but until then i mean not to put too fine a point in it but is the u.s. on the cusp of a constitutional crisis. i'm not sure we're at the constitutional crisis point yet but understand the way the process works in the united states you have state laws and that the elections officials are supposed to be following with some some guidelines from federal obviously things like you can't require poll taxes or you know you can't intimidate people for not voting so the courts are going to be taking these things up on a case by case basis were were the local election officials violating their state law by counting ballots that didn't have signatures on them the danger here is that what happens is in a practical sense you have a room full of ballots and once you've taken the envelope and thrown it away that didn't have a signature on it and you've called mingled that ballot in with valid ballots it's hard to find that ballot later it's not like they all have a barcode and they're

the republicans will keep the senate and we're also seeing a newly conservative supreme court. so i think the people who are worried or perhaps even hopeful that 2021, new progressive era need to check their expectations because there are still those checks and balances. and of course, i guess row blocks to, even if someone like molly harrison sanders wants to push something akin to the new green deal, for example through there are a lot of barriers in front of that. and i think if the democrats want to keep their base together, they're going to need to keep pushing the specter of trump, even if he's no longer around. already seen this with a c. saying, even if trump's not here we need to remember a lot of his supporters. a lot of his i think conspiratory are enablers, still are, you know, i mean, i think that's absolutely right because, and i think this is one of the by democrats, if i can say that are really tell me, because i don't think they want to have a reckoning with the progressive wing of their party, i think they're terrified of them because you know, everything was

moment we presume possibly a democratic president but with a repub a republican senate and a conservative supreme court are we looking at a potential lame duck presidency or one that will be run with executive orders. well i think there's actually a lot of room for compromise on some important problems facing the country at least early and biden administration even with the republican controlled senate there was a lot of talk about a new economic stimulus program to deal with the pandemic obviously the pandemic itself continues and developing some sort of new national strategy and coordinating between the branches of government and passing federal laws to support that might also be a point of compromise i think on the economy and on relieved and on the pandemic and there's certainly room for bipartisan cooperation to deal with those very pressing problems in terms of going to war run problems and issues that the country faces a genuine health care immigration trade and an important appointment of federal judges i think a return to gridlock on those enduring problems is likely but here joe biden was a l

yesterday during the oral arguments it seemed likely that the supreme court, the conservative supreme court here would strike that down. meanwhile, what you hear from local officials, doctors, physicians, they're joining the message of state health officials, begging and pleading with people to restrict those gatherings on the thanksgiving holiday. the university of wisconsin here in madison sent out a letter to students asking them if they decide to go home for thanksgiving break, get a test before they go home and stay home until the spring semester. this is a dire situation, and the numbers just continue to rise. >> thank you both. we're going to have more on the pandemic coming up in this hour including how disinformation and conspiracy theories are putting even more strain on utah hospitals already struggling to treat the influx of co-vid patients. plus, fireworks expected on capitol hill as two of the biggest names in tech testify about the election and anti-conservative bias. we're going to bring you any news of the hearing. it has just begun. plus leading republicans now warni

you see the trump campaign elevating this or attempting to elevate it to what will be a conservative supreme court and hoping this will help them. we need to wait and see if the supreme court will take the case. >> right. we're not sure what it is they're taking up. in the same tweet, she talks about going to the pennsylvania legislature. what we learned from michigan is that the legislature can make rules for elections it can't change the results. and every piece of evidence the trump campaign has brought forward alleging fraud in philadelphia or pennsylvania more broadly has been thrown out. there's no evidence of fraud anywhere. they keep talking about mountains of evidence. they will be pouring in. i don't know what you have seen, i haven't seen any. >> i haven't either. to be clear when you're talking with the state legislature looking at cases again and the republican lawmakers getting involved, remember the vote by mail process was agreed upon in pennsylvania prior to the pandemic even happening. this was the first time it was allowed here in pennsylvania. it was something that was voted in

in a democratic house where the democratic house with a conservative supreme court and with a democratic president. does that sound like chaos to you? well, if so you probably should read the constitution of the united states and the federalist papers because what it's called in this system of government is a system of checks and balances. there will be no rolling over republicans. there will be no ignoring mitch mcconnell or the republican senate because they are most likely going to be running the united states senate. and it's going to require that joe biden uses every skill in his toolbox, every skill he's learned went to the united states senate and got sworn in when he was 30 years old. and there are some who see that as a negative. i must say if they do that's unfortunate because that's the way our system has worked for quite some time. and i must say also it's a system that worked fairly well even though there was partisan rhetoric. david ignaceous when i was in congress and when bill clinton was president of the united states, i always made the joke you could impeach bill clinto

if anything went to the supreme court, it is a fairly conservative supreme court, which would tend totes. that's the originalist position. it's a federal country, and therefore, the states decide. unless the court decided that the states had agreed justly broken their own rules or, as you say, written them very badly, it would be very unlikely to take them out of their hands. there have been a number of cases that the supreme court have so far referred back. then, you do get into another complication. if the supreme court is wavering about this, and now it has a different makeup with justice barrett on it as well, does that come into play as well? which becomes very politically as well as legally complex. anna: just briefly, is there any use in brushing up on hanging 2004 dispute or is this of no relevance? philip: the technology has moved on. punchcards are pretty rare in american elections now. the kinds of things that might be going on is matching is a kind of visual computer, visual images of the printed ballots, count them, and whether they are working properly. the thing that th

but of course some people are worried because donald trump did manage to put a conservative majority in the supreme court i appreciate that you don't think it will ever get to that but if it does do you think that people that don't support donald trump and don't support he's idea that the election was rigged have something to fear in the fact it's a conservative majority supreme court. you know the short answer is no there's just there's no facts there's no evidence and there's no legal claim that could change things so even if by some. miracle it went all the way up there there would just be nothing for them to get their hands around even if they wanted to even positing that they were part is in his pocket but it's never going to get there he's over 9 so far all the cases have been dismissed and what they're complaining about are these teeny little tranche of votes that are now you know are irrelevant it's a fed accompli if he had a claim say there's a recount in the claim went to all the votes or something as florida did then you could try to get your hand around it but he's not going to have such a cl
