in a late night order, chief justice john roberts temporarily blocked a lower court order that would have required them to unfreeze those funds by midnight. but even before he stepped in, lawyers for the d.o.j. said the trump administration couldn't comply with that deadline. they said they'd need, quote, weeks to release those funds. begging the question, what happens if the trump administration just says no to a judge? i want to bring in former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst christie greenberg. also with us, msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. so this order, lisa, came just hours before the deadline. walk us through that order and what it means for this critical funding. >> so all. >> justice john roberts, chief justice john roberts is saying in this order is that the order from the district court yesterday is frozen. and that essentially allows, chris usaid to freeze funding that's already been contracted out or awarded to individual grantees. they've been sending dozens of letters to their grantees and partners, essentially saying, we've reviewed the terms of our co

. >> john: don't go anywhere, i'm john roberts john roberts an executive order signing ceremony sometime this and one day after donald trump announced creation of task force aimed at combating what he calls anti-chn bias. he spoke about that during the prayer breakfast. appointing new attorney general pam bondi to lead the charge. >> sandra: let's get straight to it with shannon bream, fox news anchor and chief correspondent live from the scene of the super bowl down in new orleans. shannon, great to see there. what should we expect from this unveiling of a new white house faith office? >> we understand that paula white, who is a spiritual advisor has been closed to president trump for years will be heading this out of the white house as well. they point at things like that memo circulating within the fbi offices about going after her death catholic followers and keeping an eye on them. folks in kash patel's hearing in many if you become the head of the fbi, leo tell us who the author of that memo was? they want details those kind of effort spirit of the faith act many have used to targe

ultimately this plays out to one man, chief justice john roberts. he has got to decide at some point that things are getting away from us. and he has at least i think the power to put together five people in the court to move us in the right direction. whether he will, i can't say. but if he does and asserts the rights of the courts to say the executive branch has gone too far, the question is will the executive branch hear it, will they pay any attention to it. the only reason that is possible is if a handful of republicans say enough. we cannot let this constitutional crisis go forward. we have to respect all three articles in the way they play against one another. heidi: i want to take us back where we started from. there are a lot of authors out there either in social media or articles who are really comparing this in a broader international setting, this move towards autocracy, this move towards the strong man -- let's admit it, we're mainly looking at strongmen. the strongman kind of analogy. how do you put where we are right now -- this is fo

john roberts is probably going to be pivotal on this because of what the quote you just read. but the immunity decision, of course, is going to come back to haunt them because president trump has effectively been given, you know, an opportunity to do. whatever he wants without at least criminal penalty for official acts. so it may be that the supreme court or any judge is going to have to start holding in contempt or sanctioning lower level officials beneath the president, who might not fall within that immunity ruling. again, starting to bring us into what would be a constitutional crisis of one branch pitted against the other in in a real war, not just a disagreement war. >> i mean, this could be a huge, huge test for our democratic system. before trump's inauguration. i mean, you saw this coming. you were advising clients who were potential targets to leave the country. you've already faced some retaliation in the form of your security clearance being revoked. do you think more retribution could be on the way? >> i have no doubt. absolutely no doubt. and you know, the adams

let's i want to go to the supreme court because one of the conceits to me, of john roberts is that he sees his own power as sacrosanct, that he believes that the power of the courts cannot be questioned. he then said the following in his immunity the immunity ruling that so scarred the whole meaning of a civilian president, a citizen president, quote, the danger is akin to indeed greater than what led us to recognize absolute presidential immunity from civil damages liability, that the president would be chilled from taking the bold and unhesitating action required of an independent executive. the bold and unhesitating action that he believes that donald trump ought to be able to take, he now has essentially created a monster because donald trump's bold and unhesitating action, including apparently means ignoring the courts. doesn't that mean that donald trump might say, i don't know, i don't want to listen to a ruling by john roberts and the supreme court conservative majority. >> yeah, i think this is an interesting question, joy. first of all, yes, i wouldn't say he created a monst

so we will soon find out if john roberts and leonard, leo's other friends in the conservative majority on the supreme court, meant it when they effectively gave donald trump kinglike powers in the absolute immunity case. staying on the legal front, trump's former attorney from the hush money criminal trial where he became a felon, emil bove, who is currently the acting deputy attorney general, triggered multiple resignations from the southern district of new york last week by forcing prosecutors to rescind the indictment of new york mayor eric adams, which was described by some of the s.d.n.y prosecutors who resigned en masse as a quid pro quo to make adams help the administration boost their lagging deportation numbers. despite trump's almost cartoonishly villainous border czar tom homan, ratcheting up the theatrical cruelty by making schools, hospitals, churches, mosques and other spaces the target of ice raids, raiding restaurants and construction sites, and shipping migrants to other countries on military aircraft in shackles and handcuffs, and opening a migrant concentration camp

we have schoolhouse rock and and i'm fascinated by if this comes to the supreme court, how john roberts regards encroachments on the supreme court's authority, if anything, yes, they. >> will be so intriguing. >> it'll be so intriguing because john roberts, more than anybody else, has been a proponent of the idea that the court's integrity ought. not be damaged or tarnished or stepped on by the president of united states. and i am genuinely curious about strong precedent versus stepping on our authority. >> i will say the strong president theory only functions when you also have a strong legislative branch. that's the whole idea. and judiciary, judicial branch. but i mean, that's the idea behind it anyway. >> it's also built on the. >> idea that the president that the american people. >> are going. >> to pick a president that has a certain. >> set of beliefs about the. >> system itself. >> right. kasie hunt elliott williams, thank you so much. and don't forget to look out for kasey's new show. it's the arena with kasie hunt debuts in this time slot 4 p.m. eastern on monday, march 3rd. t

is the chief justice john roberts said the supreme court has now paused a federal judge's order for the administration to unfreeze $2 billion in frozen foreign aid by midnight tonight, just a few hours from now. this is a goal that the argument had argued was unable to meet, that the secretary of state, marco rubio, was still personally reviewing that this emergency appeal, though, with chief justice john roberts stepping in, marks the first time that we have seen trump's efforts to drastically remake the federal government reach the nation's highest court. of course, as we know, it may not be the last. another big story that we are covering here tonight is a school aged child in texas has now died of measles, marking the first u.s. measles death in a decade and the first u.s. measles death of a child in more than two decades. texas health officials say that the kid was unvaccinated and had been hospitalized, as the state is struggling to contain its worst measles outbreak in 30 years. but the health and human services secretary, rfk jr.. downplayed it today. >> we're watching and we pu

chief justice john roberts of the supreme court has always been about aggregating as much power to himself and court as he possibly can. >> you said the spresident doe not have ethe legal authority t fire whoever he wants whenever he wants, but he and elon musk have been making the argument that the people being fired and the federal government are unelected bureaucracy that we are trying to do restore democracy by getting rid of these people and yes that president should have the right to fire people that are not on board with his policies. >> first of all i don't want to hear anything from you elon musk. i voted many times in my life never once have i seen you elon musk name e on the ballot anybo pulled a lever for him he needs to shut the hell up. if he is, talk about unelected bureaucrats running america. number two, of course the president has the power and should have the power to assign people to work with him and advance his agenda. we have an entire process for this. it's called the cabinet. as we think about the cabinet think about the idea the president can fire or higher anybod
