also with us ken dilanian, and nbc news national security correspondent.our reading of what we've learned about the eastman iphone. >> so, it's quite interesting. what we learned is a new mexico federal judge, signed on monday, june 17th, an order that allowed the fbi to cease and search that phone, which means that the fbi established to that judge that there was a probable cause of a crime. and that there would be probable cause that there was evidence of that crime on his phone. in other words, the fbi can't just go ahead and see something. they need court authorization and they got it. and the other thing that is kind of interesting is that it is not just that it happened. the actual execution happened on the same day as the execution of the home search of jeffrey clark. but it's clear that they are linked, because the office of the inspector general was involved in both searches. and the office of inspector general only has authority, if the doj, a figure, is involved. and eastman is not a doj figure. clark is. so, there has to be a connection between

ken dilanian from outside the court. ken, warnings about possibilities of political violence when these decisions come down. the fact we knew a lot of what was going to be in this decision, or thought we knew based on that leaked draft opinion, doesn't fear have dampened the shock at all outside the court. really, on both sides of this issue. tell me a little what you're seeing out there, what is the mood on the steps of the court this morning? >> reporter: i think you're exactly right, garrett. there have been demonstrators from both sides of this issue coming here every day. the opinions were be to be announced in anticipation of the decision, but the crowd has grown astronomically since announced. i can't even really -- i don't have a full picture how big it is. there are people as far as the eye can see from where i'm standing, and the capitol police, looks like they own this stretch of ground and are around ins for but not anything like a real perimeter. it's not like people are searched as they come in here. i think

we have ken dilanian at the justice department. merrick garland has just issued a statement saying he strongly disagrees with this and explaining what the justice department can or will do going forward. ken? >> i'm actually at the supreme court right now. i don't have visibility on merrick garland's statement. i'm here with about 2,000 people wedged into this first street area between the capitol and the supreme court. there were about 100 people when the decision was announced. folks from both sides have flooded in here. there are some carrying signs and wearing t-shirts. there are other people who just came over from the hill, it looks like staffers and members of congress, prominent people from both sides of the aisle. this has been a passionate, rowdy crowd but peaceful. the capitol police is here on the outer edges of the perimeter. they appear to have the situation in hand. we haven't seen anything approaching violence. it's been largely peaceful. a lot of passion on both sides here. >> let me just -- with you at that locati

i want to go right to nbc's ken dilanian, he's outside the supreme court. also neal katyal, former acting solicitor general, joyce vance, nbc legal analyst, and dahlia, seenial editor and host of the amicus podcast for sale. neal, give us a bigger picture of what pete williams is announcing. >> this is as devastating a ruling as can be imagined. it looks very much like the draft opinion that was leaked last month. i haven't done obviously a word comparison, but it does say roe v. wade is overruled. it's a 6-3 vote on the bottom line. the chief justice, chief justice roberts, concurs in the judgment, saying he disagreed with the majority's decision to go so far as to overrule roe v. wade and that he would have upheld the mississippi law on a more minor -- on a more narrow basis than the three dissenters led by justice breyer, are vehement, saying this is improper. the justice says one result of today's decision is certain. the curtailment of women's rights and of their status as free and equal citizens. and what this decision means is that you no longer have

ken dilanian joins me.o, maria teresa kumar and back with me, brendan back, who worked for former republican house speakers, paul ryan and john boehner. so, i think the blunt question is what is brown jackson getting herself into because look, just one of three in the minority on the court. >> her being there is going to represent a large swath of americans, african american women in particular and african american community and her life experience demonstrates the need to have her voice there alongside that of sonia sotomayor. you could counter that in with the life experience of the current justice that is allowing them to make such extreme decisions themselves on the other side, but fundamentally, it's a matter of having a diverse court that looks like america and that also means reminding voters that voting matters. the reason that we are seeing such dissents on what the majority of americans want where we're talking about abortion bans, climate change legislation, whether we're talking even about this

nbc's ken dilanian has been following this for us. charges? and i understand there was a note the fbi says it found in his home? >> that's right, chris this. 26-count federal indictment comes on top of the state level domestic terrorism and murder charges already filed against payton jen dren. it carries the possibility, unlike the state charges the death penalty. the mass shooting resulted in the deaths of ten black people, injuries to others and two white people. they say he wanted to prevent black people from replacing white people and eliminating the white race. his rightings say it choose the tops supermarket because its zip code had the largest percentage of black people near where he lived. during the attack, gendron appeared to avoid shooting at white people. when a security guard shot at him, he shot the black officer, then turned toward a white store employee who was wounded and he said sorry to the employee. and the letter says here's your reparations and the great replacement. the attorney general who met with families of t

enough about this, are motivated enough to go to the supreme court and make their voices heard ken dilanian live there with some people who are doing exactly that hi, ken. >> reporter: hey, shep yeah, that's right there were about 100 protesters here before the decision was announced on both sides. they had been coming pretty much every day, supreme court opinions were to be posted, in anticipation of this moment. but this crowd has grown by we were situated between the capitol building and the supreme court behind me. so far it is a largely peaceful if not rowdy scene capitol police seem to be out in big force. there's a lot of officers around here we just interviewed an important member of congress who oversees capitol police that says he believes they have the security situation in hand here, but it does bear watching the crowd is growing by the hour largely peaceful >> have you spoken with people, we have seen people, get in each other's faces about this a little bit, have you seen people gathering to -- the thing is, it is done. i mean, no amount of protesting that's going to change wh

many other law enforcement agencies capable that would have jurisdiction in a case like this. >> ken dilanian up on ken's reporting, let me tell you on how search warrants work. whatever law enforcement agency it was, their agent would go to a federal judge, swear out an affidavit and a judge would make a finding that there was probable cause to search. not a raid but a court-authorized search warrant. number two, it is absolutely standard practice to take the person whose home that you're searching and remove them for the search. >> so they can't hide anything? >> for their own safety and the safety of the officers executing the search. number three, they wouldn't just take electronic devices, they would have asked the federal judge to take certain things pursuant to the warrant. what i'm hearing is a court authorized search warrant executed pursuant to standard policy. we don't yet know who they did it or why they did it but you shouldn't immediately leap -- i don't mean you or andrea, one watching shouldn't leap to the notion that this is politically motivated. >> but this is the way they

. >> ken dilanian spoke with various legal experts who predict the supreme court's decision on abortioncal disputes among the states and federal government, unlike anything we have seen perhaps since the days of the civil war. those legal experts point out that with some states allowing private lawsuits against out-of-state abortion providers and other states prohibiting cooperation with abortion investigations, the issue is likely to pit state law enforcement agencies and court systems against one another in dramatic fashion in this scenario, it is conceivable that a person could be wanted for a felony in an anti-abortion rights state, but protected from extradition in a pro-abortion rights state. the governor of massachusetts has set up rules prohibiting officers from cooperating in investigations. california's governor seeking to provide protection. texas law, however, lets private citizens sue out-of-state abortion providers, and missouri is considering a similar law. >> it certainly is going to be rather complex. we're going to be getting into areas we haven't been into much lately
