we are now joined by jessica levinson, a law professor with loyola law just good. thanks for being with us tonight. there's a lot of legal avenues to talk about, but let's just kind of focus on the actual decision itself and what it means moving forward because there are bound to be a lot of challenges. talk about what kinds of aspects of this will create legal. going as we move along. >> well, many so as we know, the court today said there is no longer a constitutionally protected right to obtain an abortion. as we also know, that means this is left to the states. so states like california, as we just heard, can try and become sanctuary state and then other states red states can not only ban abortion within their boundaries but potentially try to see if they can ban their residents from traveling to obtain abortions. that's going to be one of the next big legal frontiers which is state to state in states like california saying you can come here will provide resources for you and we will not cooperate with anybody who tries to punish you for coming here. we will al

we're joined by loyola law professor jessica levinson. jessica always appreciate your time.ajority ignoring arguments of precedent today. how significant is this decision with regard to the court's approach moving forward? well i think it's hugely significant for a number of reasons. as you said one of the hurdles that they had to get past was overturning 50 years of president. now the court has certainly overturned its past decisions, and sometimes we celebrated that, and one of the most famous examples, of course , is when the court came out with brown versus board of education. but i think it's important to focus on the fact that one of the big differences is that the court has never pulled back on an individual right. the court has never taken a way of fundamental right that was previously protected under the constitution. again for half a century. now, does this mean that the court will just abandoned story decisis in other areas? i will say that i the way i read this opinion. there are other rights that are currently protected but not written in the constitution, which

jessica levinson, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> u.s. president joe biden says a framework on gun safety reflect important steps in the right direction. his comments after a bipartisan group of senators announced an agreement in principle which could lead to the largest gun reform legislation in decades. that news, nearly 3 weeks after a gunman opened fire inside an elementary school in uvalde, texas, killing 19 children and two teachers. cnn's daniela diaz has more now, from washington. >> reporter: the bipartisan group of senators that has been working on some sort of framework on gun safety reform in the wake of the uvalde shooting announced on sunday that they had reached a framework. they had reached a deal. we do not have the legislative text yet, that is incredibly important but an agreement in principle will have measures that support estate crisis intervention orders, investment in child and family mental health services, protections for victims of somatic violence, funding for school mental health support services, funding for

we're joined once again by loyal law professor and supreme court expert jessica levinson. jess always appreciate the time now that states are creating this patchwork of abortion laws. for example, california working to create a sanctuary for abortion. what is next, legally like for women who come here from other states to get treatment. so legally. i think california is doing exactly what you said, which is trying to put resources into making sure that abortion providers have the time the money to provide abortion to what we're going to see is an influx of patients and california is moving to try and enshrine the right to obtain an abortion in our state's constitution. i think the news just broke today that we're going to be voting on that for sure, in november now legally for women who are coming into california right now. i think that that is fine. the question is whether or not their home state will try and punish them for doing so we'll try and reach outside of their state's jurisdiction and say you can't travel to obtain a procedure that's illegal in this state. i thi

joining me now is jessica levinson, a law proefser. we have these folks trying to sue gun manufacturers. on the other hand, there's what the president referred to, the law that protects gun manufacturers from most liabilities, this is something that was passed in 2005. explain what it does and what effect this has had. >> i think it's had an enormous effect. this is a 2005 law, as you said. it was passed under george w. bush and passed basically to protect gun manufacturers from civil liability. that's because starting in the late 1990s, people were filing suits against gun manufacturers under the theory that they were causing a public nuisance based on the way they were manufacturing and selling and allowing to be sold guns. and some of these cases were dismissed, but a lot of them settled. and the gun manufacturers started lobbying very aggressively to say we need some protection here. now we have seen some exceptions to this particular law where we've seen some successful settlements, but it's really changed the ability of people to

jessica levinson, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> russia may be trying to undermine u.s.ad of the midterm void in november. that is the morning from the security officials and the conclusion of a nearly declassified homeland security report obtained by cnn. russia's interference efforts have evolved and become more sophisticated. russia tried to erode trust in america's electoral process, they are planning on partisan division and spreading conspiracy theories. however, there are questions about the best way to get a warning out. part of the problem is is that since there's so much distress around already, it is not like president biden could walk out and say, hey, the russians are trying to hack our elections. we should expect that, at least a month a lot of people, that should be taken seriously and officials are put in this difficult position, when there is, hacking they should call it out and say this is the russian. because that is actually what's going. on, or does it feed more distress. what did they do about? it meanwhile, the russian intelligence and the russian

i asked jessica levinson how much of that law shields gun manufacturers. here she is. >> i think it's had an enormous effect. this is a 2005 law. as you said, it was passed under george w. bush. and it was passed basically to protect gun manufacturers from civil liability. and that's because starting in the late 1990s, people were filing suits against gun manufacturers under the theory that they were actually causing a public nuisance based on the way that they were manufacturing and selling and allowing to be sold guns. and some of these cases were dismissed, but a lot of them settled. a the gun manufacturers started lobbying very aggressively to say we need some protection here. now we have seen some exceptions to this particular law where we've seen some successful settlements, but it's really changed the ability of people to try and hold gun manufacturers liable. we're not holding gun manufacturers accountable in all cases when somebody commits a crime. what we're doing is saying you're taking very specific actions. you're trying to target guns to cert
