jacobs, that was due to begin a jail term today, but its been delayed pending review by the countries supreme court last week, very much was found guilty on contempt charges and sentence to 15 months in prison . hundreds of them as supporters have been gathering outside his home to show the solidarity with their former leader, whom as 9 year term in office was overshadowed by corruption allegation was well on the line for as if they w correspondent christine wonder where she joins us from the cobbler wisdom as rural home is, christine, what's the situation with jacob's him and now is he likely to actually go to prison while rebecca that's something that he's managed to put on needs for the meantime. he made an application in a local pool that is going to be on tuesday. that's going to make a decision as to whether or not he should be in prison, pending the outcome of the deal at the pool. now, here is, will be on tuesday depending on the outcome of that. you could have present himself on wednesday already. but i want to do that because he's been successful in making that appeal in having the consti

i was due to begin a jail term today, but it's been delayed, pending a review by the country supreme court. last week's duma was found guilty on contempt charges and sentenced to 15 months in prison. hundreds of zoom, a support has been gathering outside his home to show this all the dire, he with their former leader zoom in the 9 year term in office was overshadowed by corruption allegations. and let's go straight to w correspondent christine manuel, who joins us from and con la. that's where the zoom is rural. hi ms. hi, christine. tell us please. what is the situation today with jacob zooming? is he likely to go to prison now with all? well, jared, at least he doesn't have to do that today. we know that much. he has had to make an application in a separate court to request the stay of his race pending. of course, this review off the constitutional court ruling as well as the sentence. so that is going to happen on tuesday and depending on the outcome of that particular hearing, he could have to report correctional facility as early as well, same, but from, from the analysis that we're h

supreme court. the supreme court is the only court in the entire country that doesn't have one and we think the term limits for supreme court justices should be something seriously considered to help depoliticize the process but first and foremost, we think we need to add seats to restore balance to a court that has become so out of touch and so tilted for these partisan corporate interests. so the reason to do this now is we have this opportunity where democrats control the house, the senate, the white house. senator schumer has been in a broader context this is an opportunity maybe twice in the century were he can have these fundamental changes in our country so that's why we have to have this fight now and start pushing right away. >> okay this question is for you chris and also for you, congressman jones. let's talk about the realities of this congress. you've got at least two democratic senators already insisting they won't make any changes to the filibuster and without changes to the filibuster in the senate, you can't pass legislation to add to make these kinds of reforms. so where do you go

jacob's una was due to begin to jail term today, but it's been delayed, pending a review by the country supreme court. last week zoom was found guilty on contempt charges and sentenced to 15 months in prison. hundreds of zoom as supportive have been gathering outside his home to show this holiday party with their former leader . zoom is 9 year term in office was overshadowed by corruption allegations. could i ask you to stand please? let's go now to w correspondent, christine moonlight, who joins us from candler where zoom is rural. home isn't where we can say lots of supporters have been gathering, christine, bring us up to speed, please on what exactly the situation is right now. we've jacobs, do my you see why lead to go to prison at all? j. excuse me, that is possibly the $1000000.00 question here. what's happened now is that he has had to go to a separate quotes, not the supreme court, to ask for a stay of his res quickly to postpone or hope the rest until time as he's still at the supreme court is heard. now that is going to happen tuesday depending on the outcome of that he could have to prese

senators, and yet, we've seen this right wing takeover of the supreme court, and folks like myself, and many advocates across this country want to do something about that. we want to save democracy itself from a supreme court majority that is hostile to democracy. and while i won't commit to a specific deadline by which legislation will be introduced, it is an ongoing conversation with myself and my colleagues. >> have you been able to find any republicans who are even vaguely interested in doing something like this? even if just conversations or is this truly purely a democrat, you know, a democratic pushed effort to make changes to the court? >> it is a pro-democracy effort to make changes to the supreme court in the same way that changes have been made at least seven times prior to this point, and in an environment where despite 77% of the american public supporting the american rescue plan and not a single republican member of the house or senate voting for something as popular as that, the same of course with hr 1, now senate 1, in that chamber, i don't expect republicans to do the right thing, to work to save our d

on the basis that it does not have the jurisdiction to overrule a decision taken by the supreme court of the country, the constitutional court. so that is probably the outcome that will what will be the result of this. and it's essentially what a lot of people are expecting will happen here today because the judge himself and the number of occasions reiterated chism is roy. and i still don't understand why you brought this case here. you're asking me to overrule a decision taken by the highest court in the land. what do you think will happen if the court, in fact rejects the obligation today? well, if that happens nicole, we do know one thing that the police minister of this country is also under order by the constitutional course to make sure that mrs. luna is in a correctional facility by midnight wednesday failing him having surrendered himself so mrs. and was given 5 days, he missed his 5 date the night. it is now left to the police minister to of course make sure that he is behind bars by midnight on wednesday. and the police minister spoke yesterday, and he indicated that he was going to wait

country. the supreme court punched big holes in the amateurism argument.you think we are going to see more? i think there are going to be some smart lawyers who will bring more lawsuits against the system that exists. i think the fact that now you are basically saying these athletes are not amateurs because they have been able to earn some money off of a sport they play, it's going to take the cover off. the architect of the modern ncaa walter byers basically wrote a confession in the mid-1990's called unsportsmanlike conduct: the exploitation of the college athlete. he explained everything he did in college sports and pointed out problems with it. finally now, people are coming to grips with it. these athletes needed to be treated like the employees of the industrial complex of higher education and athletics that they are. john: thank you very much. >> thank you. judy: summer is clearly here, but the sruptions caused by the pdemic are affecting the summer plans of some students and teachers. educators around the country are scrambling to help students cat

>> i do think that is true, so remember that in this country, in 1905, the supreme court put in a ruling that we're allowed to mandate vaccines in this country. this was for smallpox at the time. there is a precedent for mandating vaccines. i think there are some exceptions that should be made, which is of course for someone who has had prior infection here that needs to be debated still. how many doses they need good i also think medical and religious reasons, but you will see more and more employers putting in vaccine mandates, and i think this is paving the way for that. i agree. >> dr. monica gandhi, don't go away because when we come back, we're going talk about about hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. -what, you mean-- -mhm. -just like that. -wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the

country. what the supreme court did today for the first time construing the section two of the voting rights act for cases involving states making it harder to register to vote, it significantly diluted the strength of section two, made it very difficult for plaintiffs to win. >> explain what section two is, rick. go ahead and lay this out in layman's terms. what is section two? >> section two, back in 1982, the supreme court -- back in 1982, congress re-enacted the voting rights act and said that if a law has a discriminatory result, discriminatory impact on voters of color, then that law violates the statute. and the supreme court has talked about what section two means in the context of redistricting but never until today when a state passes a law like a voter i.d. law? the dissenter said it's enough to show it's a racially discriminatory impact, enough to show that the law makes it harder for minorities to be able to vote. the supreme court majority today said no, tas a much higher standard. if it's just a usual burden of voting and the state can assert some interest in, say, preventing vote

on the basis that it does not have the jurisdiction to overrule a decision taken by the supreme court of the country. the constitutional court. that is probably the outcome that will will be the result of this. and it's essentially what a lot of people are expecting will happen here today because the judge himself and the number of occasions reiterated to them is roy. and i still don't understand why you brought this case here. you're asking me to overrule a decision taken by the highest court in the land. what do you think will happen if the court, in fact reject the most allocation today? well, if that happens, nicole, we do know one thing that the police minister of this country is also and order by the constitutional court to make sure that mrs. weaver is in a correctional facility by midnight wednesday, failing him, having surrendered himself. so mississippi was given 5 days, he missed his 5 day period, 9. it is now left to the police minister to of course make sure that he is behind pause by midnight on wednesday. and the police minister spoke yesterday and he indicated that he was going to wa

n a matter of months decide the future of legal abortion in many states across the country, because the supreme courtroe v. wade, coming from a new filing from the state of mississippi justices agreeing to hear a case next term whether a law from that state that would ban abortions after 15 weeks is constitutional but the mississippi ag wants the court to go all the way and explicitly asking to overturn that landmark 1973 ruling. activists have been bracing for this one especially since the court's ideological balance shifted after appointments made by former president donald trump. i want to bring in nbc's justice correspondent pete williams, melissa murray, legal analyst and former clerk to sonia sotomayor. pete, what would a ruling in favor of mississippi do as it relates to abortion in this country? >> it depends on what the court says. if the court finds a narrow way to uphold the mississippi law, which would ban abortion after 15 weeks without overturn roe v. wade, it would open the door to other states to try something similar. the mr. emis if you say well it's okay to ban abortion before viab

well that's the interesting question because the police minister of the country was instructed by the supreme court to arrest and mr. a detention facility within 3 days. if he had failed to hand himself in, in 5 days now, yesterday the police minister said that he was going to wait for the outcome of this court before acting on the order of the supreme court. so that is an interesting case we find ourselves. and because the ministers deadline to make sure mr zimmer is in a personal facility expires at midnight on wednesday, and now this court is only going to announce its ruling on friday morning. so the minister of police is essentially also going to find himself in contempt. often order from the constitutional court, it remains to be seen what the police do for me. it's not clear if they're going to go ahead and make sure he's behind balls by midnight tomorrow, or if they're going to wait for friday. tensions up and running very high since the constitutional court sentenced to me. how do you think what his support is, react to his application, ultimately being rejected? nicole zima support his at

so this bill is the first in the country since the supreme court upheld arizona's restrictive new voting special session? and what are we seeing play out on the ground right now? >> yeah. there is no question that lawmakers here particularly democrats are watching very closely what has happened in other states and how that is playing out throughout the country. and that is why as the special session got underway today, part of the messaging from democrats was around how best to strategize on how to block these restrictive voting measures. but the other piece of this is talking about the need for the federal government to act. that this is not something that states can do alone. and i spoke with the democratic caucus chair, the house, about this and i want you to take a listen to what he said was his message to lawmakers in washington, d.c. >> my message to them would be we need your help and we need it now. we need hr-1. we need the john lewis voting rights act to be able to block suppressive laws like the texas legislature wants to pass. >> and as for what exactly democrats can do here

> i use the opportunity to talk about the history of civil rights legislation in this country, of the supreme court'sle in often eroding civil rights statutes dating back to the 19th century, the 1875 civil rights act and the civil rights cases, dating back to plessy versus ferguson, mobile 1982. of course, shelby county versus holder and last week's decision. we are at such a moment. we're litigating at the legal defense fund in georgia, challenging their voter suppression law, challenging florida's voter suppression law. i told the president, we will not be able to litigate our way out of this threat to black citizenship, voting, and political participation. amy: that isherrilyn ifill of the naacp legal defense fund and vice president harris announced a $25 million dnc investment to aid voting access head of the 2022 midterm elections. cliff albright, you are talking to us from atlanta and the 2022 is very important both senate seats were taken by democrats, which is clearly -- has clearly been a great motivation not only in georgia for the republicans, but around the country, to get rid of voters

supreme court. the head of the supreme court, just two weeks ago, died of covid. there is essentially zero covid vaccination in the country, even among the elite, people like supreme court justices. in the wake of the presidents assassination last night, it is the prime minister who has proclaimed now that he is in charge of the country, but nobody seems quite sure if that's true, or if that is proper, if it is true. there is also the question of who did it? how are multiple assassins able to get in the presidents private residents to shoot him and his wife? how are they able to get away afterwards without a trace? there is a hunt on for them now. there's some conflicting reports as to whether there may have been some arrests, but, basically it's been more than half a day since this happened. nobody seems to know conclusively what has become of these multiple assassins, despite the fact that witnesses from that neighborhood import prince last night when the assassination happened, say this is a length of attackers, heavily armed in multiple vehicles, making no effort to hide or be quiet about what they were doing. where a

view that this court does not has the jurisdiction the authority to overrule what the supreme court of the country has taken a decision on. and of course, it's certainly what we heard from the the judge here asking zoom is conflict, explain why the case has even been for to this case to this particular court. so what we know, phil is there are 2 processes he had next week on monday. we'll go to the supreme court and he's going to ask the court to to basically ricin, the decision that it took to find him guilty to sentence him. he's all doing that. it is unfair on him that a jail pages of 15 months at his age and the height of the pandemic is effectively a death sentence. what he's here to do today to ask this particular course to have to stop the police from arresting him because the police have until midnight to make sure he is in a correctional facility. because he didn't surrender himself in the 5 day period that he was given. right. mr. zoom himself is he's not in court. is a, he's a time at home in kazi lu natal, where lots of his supporters have gathered. and it sounds like a rather tense si

supreme court. the head of the supreme court just two weeks ago died of covid. there's essentially zero covid vaccination in the country, even among the elite, even among people like supreme court justices. in the wake of their president's assassination last night, it's the prime minister who has proclaimed now that he is in charge of the country. but nobody seems quite sure if that's true or if that's proper if it is true. there's also the question of who did it. how were multiple assassins able to get inside the president's private residence to shoot him and his wife? and then how were they able to get away afterwards without a trace. there is a hunt on for them now. there are conflicting reports as to whether there may have been arrests. it's been more than half a day since this happened. nobody seems to know conclusively what has become of the multiple assassins despite the fact that witnesses from that neighbor in port-au-prince last night where the assassination happened said this was a large phalanx of attackers heavily armed in multiple vehicles, making no effort to hide themselves or to be quiet about what the

today by the supreme court, which is calling into question the future of the voting rights act and could embolden those republicans pushing voter suppression measures all across the countryo voting restrictions in the state of arizona, one that requires officials to toss out ballots cast in the wrong precinct and another that makes it a crime for most people to collect ballots for delivery to polling precincts, a practice that has been a target of the former president and his allies peddling the big lie. >>> "the new york times" reporting on the wider implications of the decision says this. quote, the larger message of the ruling was that the voting rights act of 1965, hobbled after the supreme court in 2013 effectively struck down a central provision, retains only limited power to combat voting restrictions. in a scathing dissent, justice elena kagan writes, quote, if a single statute represents the best of america, it is the voting rights act. it marries two great i deals, democracy and racial equality. and it dedicates our country to keerg them out. if a single statute reminds us of the worst in america, it is the voting rights act because it was and remains so necess

the supreme court of the country had to basically ask it to rescind the position. he said that he is an old man. you've been in a prison is no place for him to be saved in the height of the panoramic prison sentence right now would essentially be a bit sentence to the constitutional court that gave him that guilty verdicts of being content. of course that my feel center is going to get his application on monday and we'll see where that goes from there. all right, cussing one of my for us in devon, thank you very much. let's take a look at the stories making headlines around the world. tributes are pouring in. out of the shooting of a prominent dutch investigative journalist, peter de vries was gone down in amsterdam on tuesday. he is in hospital, in serious condition. authorities are examining possible links to his reporting on a major criminal gang. doesn't have paid tribute to the victims of a building collapse near miami, florida. the visual took place also. authorities announced the end of the search for survivors. so 454 bodies have been found and doesn't stil

the decision by pennsylvania supreme court sending shock waves across the country. what he is saying now that he is no longer behind bars. >>> a lot to get to and we'll have so much live for you. let's start with the supreme court term ending with two closely watched rulings. and another saying that charities do not have to disclose the names of their largest donors. pete williams is reading those decisions closely. jane tim is following voting rights across the country. what a fantastic group to have on this very important day in the supreme court. pete, i was to start with the decision to uphold two restrictive voting laws in arizona. walk us through the ruling. >> the bottom line here is not a surprise. they upheld two refrictions saying ballots can only be collected by family members, care givers, or someone associated with them. you cannot participate in ballot harvesting. the second thing was that ballots cast accidentally in the wrong precinct won't be counted. even the biden administration said both of those laws could probably be upheld under what is left fr

association for civil rights in israel, sounded the alarm in mid march petitioning the supreme court that the country had ventured into dangerous privacy infringing territory. israeli doctors also for their objection in a joint letter to parliament, these rel association of public health physicians. and these really medical association said the lack of input from epidemiologists and public health specialists raised the likelihood of their by late april, the supreme court ruled that the government which had sidestepped parliament when it brought pushing that into the contact tracing set up, needed to get this signed off by lawmakers. the ruling also stated that suitable alternatives compatible with the principles of privacy must be found. it was a victory, but it was temporary. a middle resurgence of corona virus infections in july. israel's parliament authorize the continued use of the shin bet program into january 2021. you were study president. you were saying ok, we can track people. would you be able the next day to keep up on this restore? is it right as a default to your security? our you say w

christine well that's the interesting question because the police minister of the country was instructed by the supreme court to arrest. and i show mr. a detention facility within 3 days. if he had failed to hand himself in, in 5 days now, yesterday the police minister said that he was going to wait for the outcome of this court before acting on the order of the supreme court. so that is an interesting case we find ourselves. and because the ministers deadline to make sure mr zimmer is in a correctional facility expires at midnight on wednesday. and now this court is only going to announce its ruling on friday morning. so the minister of police is essentially also going to find himself in contempt. often order from the constitutional court, it remains to be seen what the police do from here. it's not clear if they're going to go ahead and make sure he's behind balls by midnight tomorrow, or if they're going to wait for friday. tensions up and running very high since the constitutional court sentenced to me. how do you think what his support is, react to his application, ultimately being rejected? nicole zimm

country? well, when the constitutional court or the supreme court handed down that ruling that he wasn't contempt of court and then went on to sentence him 15 months in prison. a lot of people felt that that was a victory for the rule of law in this country. there is the feeling that the political elite get away with anything that they are not how to a concert. a lot of people thought that this would be a turning point for this country that people would see this. somebody like mr. zoom a former president who's really been at bias of what you can be in this country. lo, into prison for being in content that the law was equal and applied equally, everybody. and so that is what a lot of people welcomed, and that is certainly what a lot of people told me on the day that the constitutional court made that ruling. so that was the victory that this was viewed as now of course, things have sort of the winds have been taken out of the sale of the story and in a sense, for a lot of people. because of course mrs. who my husband allowed to review his case, but this is what this means to people in the country

that this court just does not has the jurisdiction the authority to overrule what the supreme court of the country has taken a decision on. and of course, it's certainly what we heard from the, the judge here, asking zoom his counselor to explain why the case has even been brought to this case to this particular court. so what we know, phil is there are 2 processes he has next week on monday. we'll go to the supreme court and he's going to ask the court to, to basically resend the decision that it took to find him guilty to sentence him. he's all doing that, it is unfair on him bad, a jail said, and the 15 months at his age is the height of the pandemic is effectively a sentence. what he's here to do today is to ask this particular course to have to stop the police from arresting him because the police have until midnight to make sure he is in a correctional facility. because he didn't surrender himself in the 5 day period that he was given. right. mr. zoom himself is he's not in court. is a, he's a, he's at home in quasi lou natal, where lots of his supporters have gathered. and it sounds like a

you know, the most powerful people in this country aren't sitting on the supreme court. are not senators on the floor of the united states senate or in the house. they're not legislators in our districts. it's the people in this country. we have to get folks registered in a way that they've never done before. we've got to get them mobilized, educate them on the issues and have them flood the ballot boxes next november. november, 2022. >> it strikes me, you are hitting on -- on the one thing that democrats can really do, now. if this is something that you want to change, supreme court doesn't appear to be an avenue for you. congress, frankly, doesn't appear to be an avenue right now because the filibuster will not be overturned. you know there are states, led by republican governors and republican legislatures, that are not avenues for you. so, the only way you can change this, if you want to, is by getting people to vote. paradoxically, in a way. so, how are you going do that? >> well, that's what the dnc's working on right now. john, i have announced, over the -- the pas

>> well, i think what -- what these -- we're seeing with the power grabs across the country and this supreme courto enact protections for voters across the country, to continue to protect their access to the ballot because they are being chipped away by all of these moves, and now by the supreme court decision yesterday. >> there's been a lot of reporting. we've asked you about your security and safety, and we always want to hear if there's any update. but there's news it is taking a real toll and that the untry's- -- one of our blessings is people willing to volunteer to help to work in our elections, that they're quitting after being targets of threats and targets of threatened violence. what is sort of the degree of the crisis in this country? it feels like a ten on a scale of one to ten to me. >> that, unfortunately, is one of the consequences of the things that we've seen piling up over the last several months since the election, is the toll on election workers and the -- and them leaving the field. not only the seasoned election administrators who work full-time in these offices but we're co

and within days chambers were plotting in this country about how to stop people from voting. the supreme court, maybe they were just so idealistic that they said nobody would ever do this again in america, no chamber would ever do this in america. if that's right, if that was their thought, they're wrong because within days those plots unfolded. and then we have the most recent supreme court decision brnovich v. the d.n.c. and alito says making voting inconvenient doesn't make access unequal. well, let's just explain to this justice who apparently knows nothing about how voting really works. when you make it inconvenient for a targeted group, you make access unequal. it's exactly the intent of these laws is to make access unequal. elena kagan in her dissent said equal chance to participate in our democracy, referring to the 1965 voting rights act, that law of all laws should never be diminished by this court. section 2 is the most recent section attacked by the supreme court. and it bars procedures that result in denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the united states to vote on

supreme court. [applause] think that her president trump and the supreme court who have upheld election security laws so that hopefully in 2022 we will have across the country secure, free and fair election, which is all we expect. but the democrats are going to fight tooth and nail to strip the states of all local control. but we have to be united as conservatives and republicans to make sure that every election is free and fair. in free and fair elections, we win. this lie is a complete lie from biden down. they believe if you have any election reforms, we are racist and trying to oppress voters. it is a complete lie. we have to stand up and say the democrats are lying. voter id is not racist, it is common sense. [applause] preventing ballot harvesting from duck -- drop boxes, it's not racist. preventing illegal immigrants from voting is not racist, it is common sense. the democrats corrupt politicians act as an assault on free and fair elections and erodes state safeguards that are going to make sure our elections are fair and a free and fair election we will win. [applause] our goal is maximum participation, zero fraud. zero fraud, period. not some frau

country." issue already in the supreme court both sides see a possible death knell for roe v. wade.december, decision would come next year during midterm elections. shannon. >> shannon: lauren green, thank you very much. voices of the left are demanding a new investigation tonight and the complaints made against then judge now justice brett kavanaugh. during the supreme court confirmation. it calls coming as a result of the reporting by "the new york times" breaks the fbi's handling of the accusations and to report an interference by the trump white house. in separate fact and fiction regarding the new revelations with a woman who coauthored the best-selling book about the cavanaugh confirmation. great to have you back. >> great to be her, shannon. >> shannon: a couple of attorneys who represented christine blase ford who famously made her allegations against brett kavanaugh said not only did the fbi refused to interview dr. ford or the collaborators listed in the letter to fbi director failed to act on the 4,500 tips they received against brett kavanaugh. it handed the information
