now here's jennifer griswold, secretary of state in colorado. good to have you here.nt to do is set a baseline because people in the public eye probably get a lot of people angry at them at different times. that's part of being a public representative. people get angry at you. that's part of democracy. then there's something different which is threats and serious threats. then to describe to someone in the public eye who has held office, what does it mean to have this difference? the before and after of your participation in this process around the 14th amendment? >> first off, thanks for having me. it's always great to see you. i think to take a step back, the threat atmosphere really changed after the insurrection. that's when i started to receive death threats. death threats are not just like oh, i'm upset at your policy. they are threats to your life. since september when this case was filed by voters in colorado, we saw a huge uptick. these are people telling me in very explicit terms how they are going to kill me, hang me, rape me, kill my family, torture me, ba

the colorado secretary of state, jenna griswold. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> let's get some reaction right now from our legal and political experts and laura coates, i'll start with you how significant is today's decision? >> oh, it's a huge decision wolf. the idea that even waiting for over a month, of course, very interesting as well. but this tells you that they have foreclosed in some respect and only a former president being able to be found i'm getting this way, but also any official that's not explicitly laid out in section three of the 14th amendment. it's consequential. could they told the states essentially, although your job is to oversee elections, to stay in your lane, if it's a state issue, it's all yours. but for federal office, you cannot. and that's pretty significant here. >> what did you think of what we just heard? from the colorado secretary of state, her reaction while i think it's obvious she wanted a different conclusion, her job as an official obviously has to carry out the law as it's

with hertz, also from the secretary of state or in colorado who blasted this decision in general griswold. she said that she's disappointed that the us supreme court decision stripped is states and i quote of the authority to and for section 3 of the 14th that meant and for the federal candidate to set colorado should be able to bar. oh, it's breaking insurrection is from the ballot. right? that's the w, correspond to benjamin alvarez rober, reporting from colorado, the state of the center of that supreme court ruling. and over the years now we're france has become the 1st country to make a boston a constitutionally guaranteed, right? abortion has been legal in france since 1975, but public support has grown to enshrine the rights in the constitution. of that intern was prompted in large part by a us supreme court ruling in 2020. to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion in that country. as to when adults choose sits on top of the president of the nation of assembly island brown. pv announced the result of the historic vote by a margin of 780 to 72. lawmakers from across the pol

today, colorado secretary of state jena griswold shared her disappointment in the court's decision and she pointed out the flaw of leaving this mess for congress to fix. >> my larger reaction is disappointment. i do believe that states should be able under our constitution to bar oath breaking insurrectionists. and ultimately, this decision leaves open the door for congress to act to pass authorizing legislation. but we know that congress is a nearly nonfunctioning body. >> joining me now is a professor of constitutional law at nyu school of law, and melissa murray, also a professor of law at new york university, msnbc legal analyst, and former law clerk to justice sotomayor. thank you both for being here. this is like a dream panel for this. i have to go to you first, melissa. i'm sorry but i don't speak supreme courtese, but all i read was shade, shade, and more shade from your former boss, justice sotomayor, and her colleagues. they open in their what felt like more of a dissent, honestly, than a concurrence, in which they said, y'all did too much. you just had to say states can't e

that language that jenna griswold is parroted by justices sotomayor, kagan, and jackson. they wrote, they go beyond the necessities of this case, to bar an oath-breaking insurrectionist, the same language jenna griswold uses, from becoming president. while the decision goes out of its way not to say anything at all about whether donald trump, in fact, violated his oath or participated or committed insurrection, you've got the three liberal justices here characterizing this case in a way that suggests they believe that he is. i also want to say something if i can, about why the decision went further than just finding as all nine justices did, that states don't have the power to enforce section 3. it's because if you find that the states can't and that they don't have that power which is not present in the text of the constitution, you've got to find a reason why, and they seem to have hung their hat, at least in part on section 5 of the 14th amendment which says that congress shall have the power to enforce by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. it now

insurrection, leaving the us supreme court now to fill those gaps, colorado secretary of state jenna griswold joins us now. good to have you on tonight. i couldn't think of a better night to have you on given what supreme court watchers believe will hear tomorrow, it doesn't reveal ahead of time which opinion to expect, but there's a lot of analysis that given super tuesday is just 48 hours away, this will be what they decide on what are you expecting? >> well, thanks for having me on jim, it's always great to join you. and i can tell you, i hope it's the decision and you're right. a lot of folks think that it will be the colorado decision as to whether or not trump has disqualified himself i had hoped for this decision last week, the week before, because our ballots actually went out several weeks ago. and over 400,000 ballots have already been returned for the republican presidential primary. at the end of the day, coloradans, and americans deserve to know as they go into super tuesday whether trump is a qualified candidate or not. >> let me ask you this. you of course, listen to the oral a

los votantes aquí en el estado de colorado hablamos esta tarde con la secretaria de estado, janet griswold que los votantes tuvieran que salir a votar en este súper martes a esta hora. sabemos que la participación de los votantes ha sido a niveles que fueron igual que en el 2020. en estas elecciones primarias, pero existía esa preocupación de que los votantes no salieran a votar, ya que se estaban registrando un porcentaje muy bajo, pero a esta hora ya sabemos que esos números están emparejando y y se ven muy similares a lo que vimos en el 2020. bueno, esa es al menos una buena noticia. gracias stephanie . hay elecciones aquí en estados unidos y elecciones también en méxico. cruciales a 3 meses de las presidenciales en méxico, que por primera vez podrían llevar a una mujer a la presidencia. una nueva encuesta señala que el 75% de la población se considera machista, y esto es parte de lo que algunos analistas llaman la paradoja mexicana. issa osorio nos cuenta por qué tiene que hacerse valer. mariana es comerciante y asegura que se ha topado con hombres que la han discriminado, dice por ser

yet, you heard your colleague, your democratic colleague from colorado secretary of state, jenna griswold, telling wolf blitzer earlier tonight while she accepts the court's ruling, she still believes individual states should be able to disqualify a presidential candidate from the ballot if they've deemed that candidate participated in an insurrection, do you agree with her? i've been doing this a long time and one of the staples of almost 40 years of doing this is the secretary of state, the chief elections officials, whether you're a democratic republic looking from a midwestern state as you are the east coast for the west coast, most of them get along and focus on the mechanics of running a free and fair election. is there a disagreement among your colleagues whether they're democrats or republicans on this question? >> again, i think the vast majority of my colleagues have taken the same position i have, which is that it's inappropriate for a state official to weigh in on this issue and today, the supreme court affirmed that position and said, indeed, in cases like this where the lega

joining us now, colorado's secretary of state jenna griswold.wofold question, your reaction, of course, to the supreme court ruling, and how do you think the primaries are going to go today? >> good morning. happy super tuesday. thanks for having me on. first and foremost, i would say it's good the supreme court actually rendered their decision. in colorado, 500,000 people had already voted in the republican primary. colorado deserves to know and america deserves to know whether donald trump is a qualified candidate. with that said, i'm disappointed in the decision. i think states like colorado deserve to have the choice to keep insurrectionists off of our ballot. there's larger implications for insurrection that's running for federal office under this decision. super tuesday, everything's going great in colorado. i assume we're going to have great elections across the nation. just encourage your voters to make their voices heard. democracy is on the ballot this year. there are so many crucial issues that americans can weigh in on, and we do tha

colorado secretary of state jena griswold supported that. since the start of the lawsuit, the number of serious threats against her has increased more than 600%. she said quote this big lie from 2020 has morphed into a big threat. with that, let's bring in our leadoff panel. hugo lowell. an msnbc contributor and former u.s. attorney joyce vance who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. good to have all three of you with us. joyce, let me begin with you. and what we are waiting for in georgia. anything stick out to you in today's hearing especially about how the judge might handle things going forward? >> well look. the law is pretty clear in this regard. the law says that the first amendment doesn't protect the guy who walks into the bank and says stick them up. people use words to commit crimes. and so, donald trump is charged not with the speech itself but rather with the conduct that involves committing the crimes and sometimes he spoke in furtherance of those crimes. i think judge mcafee will dispense of this very quickly. a similar mo

colorado secretary of state jena griswold responded to the court's ruling on msnbc. >> i larger reactionis disappointment. i do believe states should be under our constitution to bar oath breaking insurrectionist's. amy: millions of voters are heading to the polls today as 15 states are holding primaries and caucuses in what's known as super tuesday. in california, there is a four-way race to fill the seat of the late senator dianne feinstein. three democratic members of congress -- adam schiff, katie porter, and barbara lee -- are on the ballot along with republican steve garvey, a former major league baseball player. the top two candidates regardless of party will face off in november. in minnesota, some democratic activists are urging voters to select "uncommitted" on the ballot to protest joe biden's support for israel's assault on gaza. jaylani hussein is co-chair of the abandon biden campaign. >> for tuesday, it is not minnesota muslims, muslims in the united states, it is really the overwhelming majority of democrats who believe that the president is on a very dark course. so many

joining me now is colorado secretary of state jenna griswold.in this instance i am sorry that we have to have this conversation. i have to ask first of all how are you and your family doing? do you feel like your safety is the most important thing right now? >> good morning or good afternoon. depending on the time zone. happy easter. it is unfortunate to have this conversation. i think it's necessary because the bigger picture is that anybody who stands up to them as barraged with threats and a lot of us standing up happened to be women, so they are not only violent but sexist in nature. make no mistake this is a part of the strategy to spend as much disinformation as possible to pass the voter suppression laws and to try to scare them out of their positions. we have seen the threats to election workers be somewhat successful. here in colorado alone we had a 38% turnover of elected county clerks since 2020 in part because of the vitriol. so we cannot allow this strategy to go unchecked or unnoticed. that is why i think it's important to have the

few days ago rolling stone reported the threats leveled against theh colorado secretary of state, griswold, spikes more than 600% in the seven months since a lawsuit was first filed challenging trump's eligibility to be on the ballot. trump's threats and accusations are no doubt self-serving, it's a cynical effort to try his case in the court of public opinion and rally his supporters to his side. but he's also undoubtedly undermining the rule of law which could have lasting effects on the integrity of the justice system for years to come. ruth, good to see you, thanks for being with us. i wanted to speak to friday night when i first saw the imagery that donald trump posted of a pickup truck, people that this on their trucks, but it's a picture that if you're driving behind the ou truck is meant to make you imagine that joe biden is lining the back of the truck, i don't know if you supposed to be dead or unconscious, hands tied behind his back, and again you talk so much about the fact that these people don't have to commit violent themselves, they just have to put it out there. >> yeah, i

he wants griswold, lawrence, and oberge fell in his words to be considered overthrown. sex between adults and same sex marriage. >> but republicans haven't been waiting on the supreme court to go after those rights and many more. states have been restricting rights and access to care for transgender people, banning lgbtq books. and last year alone hundreds of anti-lgbtq laws were introduced in statehouses across the country. the aclu counting more than 500 bills, a record number. and this seems to be having an impact on public opinion. in states with anti-lgbtq legislation, hate crimes in schools dramatic spike. and these are only the crimes that were actually reported to the fbi. support for same-sex marriage declined last year for the first time in a decade. that decline was even sharper among young people, whose support fell from a high of 79% in 2018 to 71% last year. and republicans across the country are just getting more brazen. blocking protections for ivf, testing the waters for limitations on contraception, and even hinting at restrictions on no-fault divorce.

meanwhile, a few days ago, "rolling stone" said threats against the colorado state griswold's bike bicycle percent in the months since the lawsuit was first filed challenging trump's eligibility to be on the ballot in colorado. trump's threats and accusations are no doubt self-serving. it is a cynical effort to try his cases in the court of public opinion and rally supporters to his side, but he is undoubtedly undermining the rule of law which could have lasting effect on the integrity of the justice system for years to come. join me now, senior advisor to than most president mike pence, also executive director of 97% of bipartisan government reform organization and joyce vance, forming an estate attorney for the northern district from alabama. she is also an msnbc contributor and columnist and cohost of "the sisters-in-law" podcast. good morning, both of you, thank you for joining us. joyce, let's start with your truth social post last night. donald trump note, judge merchan should immediately be sanctioned and recused. this is his quote. this is clearly a reaction to the judge imposing a

colorado secretary of state jena griswold reacted on x saying she was disappointed by the decision askcolorado should be able to bar oath breaking insurrectionists from our ballot, and donald trump reacted on his social media website calling it a big win for america. with us now to talk more about this decision, nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent, ken dilanian. nbc news senior legal correspondent, laura jarrett. glenn kirschner, a former federal prosecutor e, also host of the justice matters podcast and car line polisi. what more did the justices have to say in this ruling? >> jose, the justices agreed on the notion that no single state should be able to exclue a presidential candidate from the ballot on the grounds of insurrection under this 14th amendment provision enacted after the civil war. they disagreed on the reasons, but they were unanimous in putting this thing to rest that had been a subject of debate for many, many months, and obviously three states had moved to disqualify mr. trump from the ballot, not just colorado. the supreme court did not, however, rule or

we spoke with the secretary of state for colorado, jenna griswold and discussed the fact that the federalgally, it did not seem like something the supreme court would now make a thing in an election year, no less. today, i will walk you through what happened. some of it has one my and summit hits another way. i will do it, i promise right now in plain english. today, all nine justices reach the same judgment. that means the just appointed by trump and the justices appointed by obama and the other presidents, they all actually share the same legal conclusion that in a time of great division and understandable cynicism about whether more and more rulings are based on politics and not any independent law. that this kind of ruling shows some cases turn more than more than it benefits. in other words, you cannot predict today's ruling by whether the judges were appointed by obama or appointed by trump or appointed by any other particular party. at least in what this ruling does. that is a kind of good news. but, there is a but. i am going to walk you through the other issue tonight. we are not

janet griswold who is still saying he's an oath breaking insurrectionist will join me in a moment. while colorado brought this case, the ruling sweeps across the nation, rendering moot similar chances for maine and illinois. in plain terms, the court said donald trump will stay on the ballot everywhere. trump himself will respond in a moment from mar-a-lago. joining me now is garrett haake who just got down to palm beach literally moments ago. and nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent, ken dilanian. garrett, you just got there. this is obviously good news for donald trump and his candidacy. what's the former president likely to say today? >> reporter: yeah, an expected ruling today. not a particularly surprising one but one donald trump is likely to use as fuel for his campaign as i expect him to link it to all the other court cases. remember, the way he talks about these court issues is that they are all forls of what they call election interference. i think you'll see him declare victory today against one effort to keep him off the ballot and try to link it to the jack

jenna griswold out in colorado. i knew who the heck the colorado secretary of state was before this. >> people do now. they do now, right and i think what the tough part about this is in this happens with both parties. have you have say it might be cases might be voted on certain things. you try and tailor your best one to get the most attention. the ones you can win, et cetera. but then when you have certain people start glomming on for sure and attention right? secretary of state in colorado files a ballot, to a file. the case did do this. you have alvin bragg, which i think most republicans feel at this the kind of the weakest of the cases brought against donald trump with the hush money up in new york state. it allows trump, i think he's what he's trying to do is kind of glom them all together. and so he can portray a win in this as leading to a win and immunity or with january 6 trial, which obviously isn't the case. >> but in the >> pr where people aren't paying attention to the day-to-day is like we all are.

host: let's hear a reaction from the colorado secretary of state jenna griswold yesterday.video] >> i would say it is good that the court issued a decision. americans have been voting all across the nation in early voting in the super tuesday states, including colorado. coloradans and americans deserve to know if trump is a qualified candidate. my larger reaction is dippointmei do believe that states should be able under our constitution to bar oath breaking insurrectionists. this decision leaves open the door for congress to act to pass authorizing legislation. we know that congress is a nearly nonfunctioning body. ultimately it is up to the american voters to save our democracy in november. >> this was a unanimous decision. it seemed clear where it was going after the oral arguments in front of the supreme court. is there anything that surprised you? >> after oral argument i am not too surprised. i would have liked the decision a little sooner. as of thursday night cast in the republican primary for president. i think the larger picture is that is clear as day what donald
