appeals court level. there are still judges out there who are going to have a more robust approach than the supreme court allotted today when it comes to -- >> what an interesting statement to make. and when you look at that breakdown, i want to put that supreme court breakdown up once again. lisa points out, but for the fact that donald trump did succeed in getting a judge appointed to a vacancy that president obama tried to fill during his term, this ruling could have gone the other way. we'll continue to follow this monumental breaking news. the supreme court upholding the third trump travel ban. you're watching msnbc. we'll be right back. still a chance here. it's willingham, edge of the box, willingham shoots... goooooooaaaaaaaallllllll! that...was...magic. willingham tucks it in and puts the championship to bed. sweet dreams, nighty night. as long as soccer players celebrate with a slide, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insuran

the district court? >> no the legislature invoking the adoption of the 2012 interim plan has being a safe harbor essentially that is masking. the district court is the body well poised for justification and that unanimous three-judge panel wanting to and the litigation was in data mass a lot of complaints talk about delusion but what about house district 90 for example when the legislature ought to take into consideration concerns along those lines? it is attacked from the other direction as discriminating based on race on the 14th amendment how does it balance that against the 14th amendment obligation? it sounds like that is the dilemma. >> and has provided that guiding with instruction as far back as the '90s. but to answer your question as a matter of fact the legislature did not create house district 90 with compliance in mind they found as a matter of fact house district 90 employed mechanical racial targets those are finding that are not erroneous and then must be affirmed. the state can protect i

court judges and district court judges.dent has had an enormous ability to fill over 40 seats, lower court seats with individuals who manifest an exceptional hostility to workers, women, people of color, consumers, environmentalists. so there's a real problem with those seats being filled by individuals who are just so opposed to all the various constituencies. and i do believe we'll turn the clock back on all of our rights and liberties. >> so elections have consequences. ken cuccinelli, how do you feel about the judges that are being put on? >> well, the quality of the judges is outstanding. it's interesting that -- >> except for that guy kennedy flagged in that hearing who had never tried a case ever before. how about that, ken? >> yeah, well, look you can always find weak spots because in politics especially at the lower level judges come into play as well. and i suspect that led to part of that snafu, and frankly i'm glad that guy didn't get on. we want quality judges. but what a lot of us appreciated about the preside

the court could not take it and the washington courts ruled against her. the court could leave it in place. the court could accept it for the next term. the court could send it back in light of their decision that masterpiece, which really did n't say much at all about the facts of the case or how the lower court should now decide that case. and so they decided to send it back. but it's always in one sentence. there's no explanation for that. and that's where sometimes when we read about the court, we read about it in sort of a form of educated speculation. my editors will often say to me, who said that? i say, well i do, because there's no one else to say. sometimes you have to decide some things on your own about what the court's actions might mean and sometimes you might be wrong. arthur: so, one reason i like to go watch the decision days in june is because of the possibility of oral dissent. in this term, there were six. one by justice ginsburg, one by sotomayor, one by justice kagan, and four by justice breyer. >> check your math. arthur: check my ma

of the court matters so much. we'll all be watching for retirement watch and why this decision in a way is so instructive if the issue is going to be what's the scope of presidential power which it comes to immigration decisions. >> and i want to see if we have pete williams still with us over at the court because it's my understanding that justice briar, i believe, is reading the dissent from the bench now which is something that we don't necessarily often see happen, pete. and is it an indication of just how strongly the justice who's did not agree with chief justice roberts feel about this? >> reporter: yes, although toward the end of the term, pardon me they're -- life goes on at the supreme court where they're mowing the lawn. >> the lawn's got to get mowed, pete. >> reporter: you've been at the white house where they do this too so these things happen. this time of the term it's not unusual for a justice to read a dissent. as a matter of fact, this is the second dissent that justice briar has read from the b

this as been a 5-4 court. it could be 6-3. >> justice kennedy has been the swing vote on many issues. as shannon first broke out, sometimes they side with the democrats. sometimes sides with the conservatives. i suggest to you that the key issue will be abortion. even though justice kennedy is roman catholic and was appointed by ronald reagan, he has consistently sided with the liberals on abortion. if president trump nominates a pro life nominee, you will see a titanic battle on the senate and throughout the country because that will create a pro life majority on the supreme court for the first time since row versus wade. >> you think that would be hard to get confirmed? >> i don't know. chad will have a better feel on what will happen in the senate. i know the battle will be titanic. it may be on other issues as well. may be on youth, the role of government in our lives as he wants someone just like justice gorsuch. does he want somebody that is not on the bench? >> dana: let me ask you this. the federalist

that is the court has determined, i believe, that the court's role is to interpret the constitution, not to amend it. if the court says in june of this year that the dormant comment clause means x, it can't say up until now the dormant comment clause meant something else. and in that sense, perspective decision making is inconsistent with the judicial rule. however, there are circumstances and qualified immunity is one of them where even though the newly announced constitutional rule as a rule applies retroactively, the ability of -- the availability of these types of relief may depend on whether people were justifiably uncertain at the time. >> thank you, counsel. >> mr. chief justice and it please the court, i would like to direct my initial responses to some of the questions that justice breyer was asking counsel. he pointed out the fact that there were conflicting numbers before the court regarding what is the amount of lost revenue that the states are experiencing. and he said what should we rely upon. the most authoritative, independent and extended study was the one that was d

the aplate courts and even before the appellate courts made a decision, the u.s. supreme court on december 4, 2017, strangely issued an order that reinstated the entirety of travel ban 3.0 until and unless a different decision was made by the high court. and so in this way, we already know how the travel ban is playing out on the ground and devastating families and communities each and every day. this is a sad version of a travel ban. the first two issued as executive orders. this last one as a proclamation. so a little bit background on the statute. the immigration and nationality act was passed by congress in 1952. it has been compared second in complication to the u.s. tax code. there are two sections in the statute that are relevant to the statutory arguments in trump v. hawaii. the first section is 1182-s, and it authorizes the president to suspend the entry of, quote, any alien or class of aliens if such entry would be detrimental to the interest of the united states. the second relevant statutory section in the i.n.a. is 1152-a. this is a nondiscrimination

the court issued a narrow decision that sent the cases back to a lower court. they did not say anything about the bigger question of whether there should be limits on this although many election reform type people think it is a big deal. this issue is going to continue to simmer. there is another case from north carolina that the court could take up in the next couple of weeks. host: wisconsin being one of those decisions, maryland, can you generalize what is going on in each of those? guest: in wisconsin, democrats challenged a state legislative district john by republicans -- drawn by republicans. the court said they did not have legal standing to sue because they did not have plaintiffs in every district. the court sent that case back on the standing issue. they did not get into the legal merits over whether this legal theory the democrats had to be workable in the court. is, it is suchn a political issue. people are going to accuse judges of being biased. the courts are reluctant to get involved. they need to have a workable standard they can implement acro

and, in fact, there's a big case before the supreme court this year where the supreme court seems likely to really make it harder for public employee unions to raise money to spend on things like collective bargaining and other things like that. >> host: what -- do you know the name of that case? >> guest: yeah. it's called the janus case. it's a case that has a very interesting history. this issue first came to the supreme court when justice scalia was still on the bench. the court heard argument in it, went back in its private conference, decided it -- apparently, 5-4 -- to strike down the rules and limit the power of unions. but then scalia died before the decision was released, and under supreme court procedures, that vote does not count. so the final decision came out 4-4 with no precedent, a split decision. and the moment neil neil gorsucs confirmed to the supreme court, this case was brought right into the court to get it before the justices very quickly. >> host: the book is called "we the corporations: how american businesses won their civil rights." adam winkler is the author,

obviously here, he won in the supreme court, but only after other courts, lower courts pushed back against him. the press has been a check on donald trump. colleges and universities, religious institutions, which have been very active in the immigration fight, they too have played a part in responding to donald trump's president sis. so yes, the presidency is very important in this country, but it doesn't control everything, and the story of the 2r58 ban, the full story. not just today's opinion, i think illustrates the resilience of our institutions. >> an important decision today by the united states supreme court, a decision that will be studied, and we have just got the actual text, john king. if you see it, go ahead and read this whole document. let us know how it work out. >> old skewed, bachool, baby. our special coverage throughouted day, an important united states supreme court decision, 5-4 upholding president trump's travel ban. much more coverage on that. that's it for me, i'm wolf blitzer in washington. thanks to our reporters and analysts. kate bolduan picks up the special co

court of appeals. some of the names that we've seen come up to lower court appointments since president trump came into office for example a woman by the name of barrett, she was a notre dame law professor who is now on the 7th circuit based in the midwest. so they have names that they have vetted in certain ways. and i think that just what caitlin said, don mcgahn who played such a role in the selection of neil gorsuch, and it will come down again to outside advocates for example from the federalest society w e. they have been a real partner with the trump white house here for lower court nominees and i'm sure that the federalist society and perhaps the heritage foundation also will put in their very significant two cents on who the president's choice is. >> so those are potentials. let me ask the same question to steve. you heard joan rattle off three potentials on a short list that have been vetted. who is on your short list? >> yeah, i mean i would start with joan's list. i think the one -- there a

court level. there have been a couple of federal court nominees that have been called back but not at the supreme court level. he has a list vetted by the federalist society and generally going to be approved by most if not all republicans who get a vote in this matter. >> the federalist society did a lot of leg work in coming up with the list. obviously it was done with advisors here at the white house. that has been one of the more disciplined processes that we saw, the confirmation process for neil gorsuch, the meetings on capitol hill to meet with the lawmakers to try to persuade them to vote for gorsuch. thereof in team in place to select him. that was something that the outside advisors to president trump had a real lockdown. remember, that's their issue, the thing that they care about. so that was something they were extremely focused on. you saw it sort of work its way through the process when it came to neil gorsuch. if the past holds precedent, that will likely happen again this time aro

you are seeing the justices not just at the supreme court but the circuit court and other federal court appointees that are not just conservative but also younger, and i think that's important. you saw this with neil gorsuch where you have a much more lasting effect on the judiciary and the interpretation of the constitution on jurisprudence for many, many years to come and pattern to tenure. trish: sean, as a conservative, this has to please you. i say on the show i'm neither conservative nor liberal. i don't belong to any party and you can't put me in a box. that said, when it comes to the interpretation of something like the constitution, having been a scholar of u.s. history, especially early u.s. history, those founding fathers knew what they were doing and so having a conservative interpretation of the constitution is worth something as you try and preserve this wonderful republic that we are. i can imagine you agree with that, and for that reason you're pleased that the president has this opportunity to affect and shape the future of our courts? >> yeah, absolutely. and like i sa

the courts won't fix this. in this case, the evidence of animus is in the newspapers, it's in public statements, it's in speeches, it's in the president's twitter feed. and nos y have nowhere to take that evidence except to the voting booth. because this is now something that the courts will not fix. congress could fix it, but that would require changing the congress. who's already won three cars, two motorcycles, a boat, and an r.v. i would not want to pay that insurance bill.

to the lower courts. one could argue, in the background and experience and training, and significant intellectual leaders, that seems right and what and how does that relate to eisenhower's judgment? >> you can blame eisenhower, very disillusioned after he was on the court, he wasn't a moderate republican that eisenhower thought. so after he appointed warren who had no judicial experience, every other appointee had lower court experience. whitaker and stuart. >> whitaker, i was in high school with his son. that was not my proudest memory of having a connection with a supreme court justice but that is a different story. >> whitaker had a very unhappy time on the court and he was not a significant justice and ultimately retired in poor health. >> let me bump back to eisenhower brown. you talked a little about warren and how he went to a major change. eisenhower seemed to have changed less and had a very back and forth, uneasy relationship with brown and desegregation etc. so that at least i find it harder t

this decision announced yesterday, the supreme court became the supreme court. that's short for corporation. there are handmaidens of corporate america. they're there to undermine workers in our country. they did so in trying to suffocate the voices by giving corporations unlimited access to dark special-interest money in the citizens united decision. yesterday, they did violence toward democracy and trying to diminish the voices of working people. amplify the voices, diminish the voices of workers. that is not the american way. there decision is violent to the first amendment, cheapening it and stretching it is a rationale for this decision. it abandons a decision. that endangers so many decisions that have already taken place in the court. what does that too? it hurts america's working family. the trade union movement has been responsible for establishing a middle-class. the middle class has a union label on it. we all agree with that. our society and economy have benefited from collective-bargaining the protections of the workplace in terms of work safety. ev

he said that the vacancy of kennedy on the court makes the supreme court and the battle for control of the senate the most important issue of our time. he went on a tear about heidi heitkamp who at one point was his favorite democrat in the senate. he brought her on the road last time he was in north dakota. but today he went after her on issue after issue after issue and warned his base voters that if you let democrats take control of the senate, and if they have a say in who replaces justice kennedy on the court, things could be very bad for them. >> barbara, i'm curious to hear your take on what's at stake with this nomination the president gets to make. >> well, i think one of the really key issues that's likely to confront the court in the coming years is the abortion question, roe versus wade. is there a chance it could be overturned? i don't know. as tom said, we have justice roberts now at the center of the storm here. and he has always said that stare decisis, the idea that you respect the precedence that came before is important to him. and so you would think that he's unlike

the courts won't fix this. in this case the evidence of animus is in the newspapers, it's in public statements, it's in speeches, it's in the president's twitter feed. and now we as a country have nowhere to take that evidence except to the voting booth. because this is now something that the courts will not fix. congress could fix it, but that would require changing the congress. and at expedia, we don't think you should be rushed into booking one. that's why we created expedia's add-on advantage. now after booking your flight, you unlock discounts on select hotels right until the day you leave. ♪ add-on advantage. discounted hotel rates when you add on to your trip. only when you book with expedia. theseare heading back home.y oil thanks to dawn, rescue workers only trust dawn, because it's tough on grease yet gentle. i am home, i am home, i am home with the new chase ink business unlimited card i get unlimited 1.5% cash back. it's so simple, i don't even have to think about it. so i think about the details.

in this court, the court has upheld the president's travel ban against seven countries, countries, most of them, muslim majority. sided with a baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. undermined labor unions, affirmed in ohio law that perjure citizens from voting role that affects minorities. discriminated against latinos. and a rule that california cannot apply pregty centers to give women truthful information about their medical conditions. elections have consequences. so, what can we expect if president trump gets another conservative justice on the court? there will likely be more cases of business owners claiming religious freedom to refuse to serve gay people. the court can be more likely to rejessica challenges to the death penalty. and campus affirmative action programs could be on the chopping block. that may very well be where america is headed right now. just last night on this show, we nailed it. it has been three years since supreme court ruling that established the right of gay people to get married. little did we know how much things could change, now th
